Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive steering wheel technology, specifically a plastic automotive steering wheel decorative strip. Background Technology
[0002] A plastic car steering wheel trim strip is an accessory typically used to enhance the aesthetics and comfort of a car's interior. It is usually made of durable plastic materials (such as ABS, PVC, etc.) and may employ different colors, textures, or surface treatment techniques to achieve the decorative effect.
[0003] When installing trim strips, if only a few fitting brackets are used, it may cause excessive pressure on a localized area, resulting in damage to the steering wheel surface or the trim strips falling off.
[0004] Secondly, without a quick-connect function, the installation of the decorative strip may take a long time, and may even require the use of additional tools or multiple adjustments, increasing the difficulty of installation.
[0005] Finally, if the trim strip is not secured in a sufficiently stable manner, it may loosen or fall off during prolonged use, affecting the appearance and usability of the steering wheel. Utility Model Content

The sliding plate 7 is connected to the connecting rod 6. The locking block 8 is installed on the sliding plate 7 and is connected to the main body 1. The spring 9 is installed on the rotating frame 10 and its other end is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6. The rotating frame 10 is installed on the connecting rod 6 and is slidably connected to the connecting rod 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, the cover assembly includes a first fitting frame 2, a second fitting frame 3, a third fitting frame 4, and a sealing gasket 5. In use, the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4 are installed on the main body 1. The magnet 11 on the first fitting frame 2 directly enters the insertion hole 13 of the main body 1. The second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4 are then placed at the bottom of the main body 1, and the connecting block 12 on the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4 also enters the insertion hole 13, thereby magnetically connecting with the magnet 11. When the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4 cooperate with each other, the sealing gasket 5 on the first fitting frame 2 cooperates with the sealing groove 15 in the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4, thereby sealing and protecting the main body 1 by the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4.
[0032] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a connecting rod 6, a sliding disc 7, a locking block 8, a spring 9, and a rotating frame 10. During use, the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4 are attracted to the main body 1 via a magnet 11 and a connecting block 12. The rotating frame 10 can be directly pulled, compressing the spring 9. The sliding groove 19 on the rotating frame 10 also slides in conjunction with the square tube 18. Rotating the rotating frame 10 causes the connecting rod 6 to rotate. During this process, the rotating rod engages with the sliding disc 7 via a threaded connection. When the sliding disc 7 slides, the limiting hole 2 on the sliding disc 7... 2. Slide on the limiting rod 21 of the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4, so that the sliding plate 7 can enter the main body 1, and the locking block 8 on the sliding plate 7 also enters the locking hole 14. The connecting rod 6 is threaded into the threaded hole 20 on the first fitting frame 2, so that the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4 are connected and fixed. At this time, the rotating frame 10 is released, and the compressed spring 9 directly pulls the rotating frame 10 to cooperate and connect with the third fitting frame 4 and the second fitting frame 3. The positioning block 17 on the rotating frame 10 is connected to the third fitting frame 4 and the second fitting frame 3, so that the position of the connecting rod 6 is fixed.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] In summary, during use, firstly, the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4 are installed onto the main body 1.

Furthermore, when the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3, and the third fitting frame 4 cooperate with each other... When the sealing gasket 5 on the first fitting frame 2 engages with the sealing groove 15 in the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4, the main body 1 is sealed and protected by the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4. When the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4 are fixed to the main body 1, they are attracted to the main body 1 by the magnetic block 11 and the connecting block 12, and can then be pulled directly. The rotating frame 10 can compress the spring 9, and the sliding groove 19 on the rotating frame 10 also slides with the square tube 18. At this time, rotating the rotating frame 10 causes the connecting rod 6 to rotate. During this process, the rotating rod engages with the sliding disk 7. When the sliding disk 7 slides, the limiting hole 22 on the sliding disk 7 slides on the limiting rod 21 of the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4, so that the sliding disk 7 can enter the main body 1. The locking block 8 on the sliding disk 7 also enters the locking hole 14. The connecting rod 6 engages with the threaded hole 20 on the first fitting frame 2, so that the first fitting frame 2, the second fitting frame 3 and the third fitting frame 4 are connected and fixed. At this time, the rotating frame 10 is released, and the compressed spring 9 directly pulls the rotating frame 10 to engage with the third fitting frame 4 and the second fitting frame 3. The positioning block 17 on the rotating frame 10 engages with the third fitting frame 4 and the second fitting frame 3, so that the position of the connecting rod 6 is fixed.
