Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of racing simulation equipment manufacturing technology, specifically, it relates to a steering wheel connection control structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing of racing simulation equipment, the connection and control structure of the racing simulation steering wheel plays a decisive role in providing a highly realistic driving experience. Racing simulation equipment aims to make users feel as if they are in a real racing driving environment, therefore, it has extremely high requirements for the precision, stability, and ease of operation of the steering wheel connection and control structure.
[0003] In real-world driving simulations, users frequently and significantly turn the steering wheel during intense driving, while also experiencing various forces such as acceleration, deceleration, and bumps. This necessitates a highly stable steering wheel connection control structure that can maintain a firm connection under prolonged, high-intensity use, preventing loosening or wobbling. An unstable connection not only affects the smoothness of the simulated driving but may also damage the equipment and reduce its lifespan.
[0004] Most existing racing simulator steering wheels are one-piece designs, making replacement extremely inconvenient. In practice, users may need to change to different types or sizes of steering wheels to achieve a more realistic racing driving experience, depending on the simulation scenario or personal preference. Replacement requires removing multiple screws and connecting cables, a process that is numerous and complex. For novice users with no experience, mistakes are easily made during replacement, such as losing screws or incorrectly connecting cables, leading to lost parts or equipment malfunction. Furthermore, the entire replacement operation consumes a significant amount of time and effort, greatly reducing the user experience and limiting the flexibility and versatility of racing simulator equipment.
