It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment describes a car steering wheel accessory, which includes a body (1). The body (1) is designed to fit the shape of a car steering wheel, and a horn hole (2) is provided at its center to accommodate the horn of the car steering wheel, ensuring that the accessory does not affect the normal use of the horn after installation. Two receiving holes (3) are symmetrically provided on both sides of the horn hole (2). These receiving holes (3) are used to accommodate the control panel on the steering wheel, such as multimedia control buttons, cruise control levers, etc., so that the accessory can be seamlessly integrated with the existing steering wheel functions. The body (1) is firmly installed on the car steering wheel by the mounting structure (4) to ensure stability during driving. On the outer sides of the body (1), i.e., in the area visible to the driver, an overspeed warning screen (5) is provided. When the vehicle speed exceeds a preset safety threshold, for example by obtaining speed information through connection with the vehicle ECU (electronic control unit) or an independent GPS module, the screen color of the overspeed warning screen (5) will quickly change from the normal state to a bright red, so as to intuitively and forcibly warn the driver that the current speed is too fast and prompt him to slow down. Compared to traditional auditory alarms or digital displays on the dashboard, this visual warning method is more immediate and impactful, helping drivers react quickly and thus improving driving safety.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, a barrier strip (6) is provided between the horn hole (2) and the receiving hole (3). The barrier strip (6) provides a physical barrier between the horn hole (2) and the receiving hole (3). The purpose of this design is to prevent dust, foreign objects, or vibrations generated when pressing the horn from directly affecting the control panel inside the receiving hole (3), effectively protecting the cleanliness and functional stability of the control panel. At the same time, it also helps to fix the position of the horn and the control panel in their respective holes, preventing them from shifting during use.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4In another embodiment, the mounting structure (4) includes connecting plates (7) disposed at the four corners of the horn hole (2). The connecting plates (7) are key components for connecting the accessory to the steering wheel body. By setting the connecting plates (7) at the four corners of the horn hole (2), the accessory can be securely fixed by utilizing existing mounting points or reserved holes around the horn area of the steering wheel. This four-point connection method provides a balanced force distribution, effectively preventing the accessory from loosening due to vibration or operation during vehicle operation.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the connecting plate (7) has an L-shaped structure, and a threaded hole (8) is provided at the end of the connecting plate (7). The L-shaped structure allows the connecting plate (7) to extend from the plane of the horn hole (2) and overlap with the internal frame of the steering wheel or other fixing points. The threaded hole (8) at the end of the L-shaped connecting plate (7) allows the accessory to be reliably connected to the steering wheel with fasteners such as screws. This design allows the use of standard threaded connections, facilitating installation and disassembly, while providing high-strength connection force to ensure that the accessory remains stable under external forces.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the mounting structure (4) includes a first snap-fit (9) located on the upper part of the horn hole (2) and a second snap-fit (10) located on the lower part of the horn hole (2). In addition to the connecting plate (7), a snap-fit mechanism is introduced as an auxiliary or primary installation method. The first snap-fit (9) and the second snap-fit (10) are located above and below the horn hole (2), respectively. They engage with corresponding slots or edges in the steering wheel horn area through their own elasticity or specific structural shape, thereby achieving rapid positioning and locking of the accessory. This snap-fit design helps simplify the installation steps, improve installation efficiency, and provide sufficient fixing strength in specific application scenarios.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4In another embodiment, the first buckle (9) is arrow-shaped, and the second buckle (10) is semi-circular. The angle between the first buckle (9) and the second buckle (10) is perpendicular. Designing the first buckle (9) as an arrow shape makes it easy to insert and position, while providing good one-way locking capability to prevent upward sliding. Designing the second buckle (10) as a semi-circular shape allows it to better fit the circular or arc-shaped edge below the steering wheel horn, providing lateral support and positioning. The perpendicular relationship between the first buckle (9) and the second buckle (10) allows them to work synergistically in the vertical direction of the steering wheel horn hole (2), providing both horizontal and vertical limiting functions. This combination of buckles with different shapes and their perpendicular angle relationship creates a more targeted and stable engagement, effectively preventing the parts from shaking or falling off during vehicle bumps or driver operation, thus improving the stability and reliability of the parts installation.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the connecting plates (7) located on both sides below the main body (1) are close to the overspeed warning screen (5), and reinforcing ribs (11) are provided between the connecting plates (7) and the overspeed warning screen (5). Since the overspeed warning screen (5) is located on the outside of the main body (1), it may be subjected to certain pressure or impact during daily use. Providing reinforcing ribs (11) on both sides below the main body (1) near the connecting plates (7) and the overspeed warning screen (5) can significantly improve the structural strength and rigidity of this area. The reinforcing ribs (11) can be rib-shaped, grid-shaped, or other support structures. Their function is to disperse local stress and prevent deformation or damage to the installation area of the overspeed warning screen (5) when subjected to external impact or vibration. This not only extends the service life of the accessories but also ensures the long-term stability and reliability of the overspeed warning screen (5) function, thereby improving the overall durability of the product.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
