AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the drive structure of the clock spring and angle sensor of the column shifter combination switch cannot absorb the gap wobble in the 90-degree direction of the drive rib groove when driven by two symmetrical rib grooves at 180 degrees, resulting in abnormal noise from the squeezing force.

Method used

The design employs a drive rib on the inner ring of the driven gear and a drive groove on the circumferential sidewall of the drive ring. The drive rib is radially inserted into the groove, and the small-clearance rotation absorbs the amount of wobbling. The clock spring absorbs the wobbling in the X direction through the rotation of the driven gear, thus preventing wobbling in the XY direction.

Benefits of technology

It effectively absorbs the clock spring's wobble in the Y direction, reduces abnormal noise, and improves drive stability and noise control.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to steering wheel structure technical field, concretely is a gear absorption drive component shake gap structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] On the drive structure of clock spring and angle sensor in combination switch, the conventional structure adopts 180 degrees symmetrical two muscle grooves drive, and the drive cooperation of this mode cannot absorb the gap shake amount of 90 degrees direction of drive muscle groove, when the clock spring eccentric and steering wheel assemble, the extrusion force is produced in the drive part, and the abnormal sound is produced. The utility model structure just solves this problem, and the structure is simple, the function is reliable, and the cooperation size chain is less. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the utility model provides a gear absorption drive component shake gap structure.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0005] The utility model discloses a gear absorption drive component shake gap structure, including clock spring, the drive ring that is connected with clock spring and driven gear, and the clock spring is driven by the drive ring of driven gear;

[0006] The inner ring of driven gear is provided with drive muscle, and the peripheral side wall of drive ring is provided with drive groove, drive ring is contained in the inner ring of driven gear, and drive muscle is inserted into drive groove in radial direction;

[0007] Driven gear is installed into steering wheel base, and the cooperation gap of driven gear and steering wheel base is between 0.05mm-0.25mm.

[0008] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, drive muscle and drive groove only set a group.

[0009] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the installation gap of clock spring and steering wheel shell is between 1mm-2mm.

[0010] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, drive muscle and drive groove are all arranged along radial direction.

[0011] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the front end of drive muscle gradually increases in width relative to the rear end.

[0012] The utility model has the advantages of:

[0013] This invention features a set of drive ribs on the clock spring drive coil and the driven gear. The drive ribs are fitted with a small clearance in the direction of rotation, and the vertical direction of the drive is fully unrestricted. This means that the clock spring drive coil can absorb the amount of sway in the Y direction in the Y direction. The sway of the clock spring in the X direction is absorbed by the rotation of the driven gear. The driven gear is fitted with a small clearance to the base and can only rotate, not wobble in the XY direction. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The accompanying drawings are provided to further illustrate the present invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings:

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.
