Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation bracket, belonging to the field of automotive assembly technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of intelligent and electronic vehicles, various adjustment and control components of automobiles have been centralized in the central control platform, eliminating traditional automotive levers and other components, saving material costs, forming centralized control and management, and achieving technological optimization to a certain extent.

[0003] However, since some models on the market have eliminated the steering lever and gear shift lever, traditional drivers have become accustomed to and dependent on the traditional mechanical adjustment structure. Therefore, for these drivers who can accept the experience of electric vehicles but do not want to completely eliminate the traditional lever adjustment structure, an external lever structure has been designed.

[0004] However, the steering wheel assembly has few screw holes for positioning and no pre-reserved installation space, resulting in a very limited structure. Furthermore, it requires space for an external lever assembly, making installation quite difficult. In particular, due to differences in vehicle models, the clip structures at the installation locations also differ and are not interchangeable. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket and its lever assembly for use in automotive external steering wheel levers. By optimizing the structure, the external lever assembly and steering wheel assembly are fixed together, while also being compatible with multiple vehicle models.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A mounting bracket for an external steering wheel stalk in a car, used to fix the external stalk assembly to the steering wheel assembly, includes a bracket body. The bracket body includes a fixing plate I that docks with the external stalk assembly, a fixing plate II that docks with the steering wheel assembly, and a connecting plate connecting the fixing plate I and the fixing plate II. The fixing plate I has limiting holes and positioning screw holes respectively. The fixing plate II has positioning holes, which are strip-shaped groove structures that extend to the side of the fixing plate II on one side. One end of the connecting plate is connected to the fixing plate I, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate II. The included angle between the fixing plate I, the fixing plate II, and the connecting plate is 80°-100°.

[0007] Preferably, the side of the connecting plate is provided with a fixing plate III that mates with the external lever assembly, and the fixing plate III is provided with positioning screw holes. The structural design of the fixing plate III is to further strengthen the fixation from the side, adding a connection point, making the connection between the external lever assembly and the steering wheel assembly more stable.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate IV is formed by extending from the side of the fixing plate I and the connecting plate away from the fixing plate III. The fixing plate IV extends to the screw hole position on the other side of the steering wheel assembly, so as to achieve simultaneous fixing from both sides of the steering wheel assembly, making the connection between the external lever assembly and the steering wheel assembly more stable.

[0009] More preferably, the side of the fixing plate IV is folded to form a limiting plate. The limiting plate is provided with positioning screw holes, and the outer contour of the limiting plate abuts and connects with the outer contour of the steering wheel assembly. The outer contour of the limiting plate abuts with the outer contour of the steering wheel assembly, and the structural shape forms a limit to prevent shaking and improve connection stability.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning hole on the fixing plate II is a circular hole. This structure can achieve positioning, but the steering wheel assembly needs to be disassembled.

[0011] Preferably, a lever assembly includes a lever body, a front cover, a rear cover, and a bracket body, with the lever body nested between the front and rear covers. The lever assembly is then fixed to the steering wheel assembly via the bracket body.

[0012] Preferably, the front cover and the rear cover are respectively provided with positioning screw holes, and the front cover and the rear cover are fixedly connected by screws. The rear cover is provided with a limiting buckle at the connection position with the steering wheel assembly. The limiting buckle can accommodate the steering column clock spring structure of different models at the same time. This snap-fit ​​fixing structure can realize the installation of the steering wheel lever assembly and improve the applicability of the product.

[0013] Preferably, the front cover is provided with positioning screw holes and limiting posts for connection with the bracket body. These positioning screw holes and limiting posts are reserved structural components for mounting the bracket.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: The combined shape of the steering wheel assembly and the external lever assembly results in a stable and compact structure. Using this fixing structure, the connection between the external lever assembly and the steering wheel assembly is more stable. This invention designs two locking structures, allowing installation both with and without disassembling the steering wheel. Furthermore, it employs multiple installation structure schemes, which can be adjusted and replaced according to different vehicle models, making it widely applicable. The lever assembly can also be adapted to different vehicle models during installation, improving product versatility and reducing product inventory. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail and in completeness with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0017] Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a mounting bracket for an external steering wheel stalk in a car, used for fixing the external stalk assembly to the steering wheel assembly. The bracket body 1 includes a mounting plate I 101 that docks with the external stalk assembly, a mounting plate II 102 that docks with the steering wheel assembly, and a connecting plate 103 that connects the mounting plates I 101 and II 102. The mounting plate I 101 has a limiting hole 104 and a positioning screw hole 105. The mounting plate II 102 has a positioning hole 106, which is a strip-shaped groove structure extending through one side to the side of the mounting plate II 102. One end of the connecting plate 103 is connected to the mounting plate I 101, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate II 102. The included angle between the mounting plates I 101 and II 102 and the connecting plate 103 is 80°-100°.

[0018] Example 1: During installation, simply remove the upper cover shell behind the steering wheel assembly and loosen the positioning screws on the steering wheel assembly that align with the positioning holes 106. Do not loosen them completely; leave enough slack for insertion. Insert the fixing plate from the side of the screws. Align the limiting hole 104 on the fixing plate I 101 with the limiting post of the external lever assembly. Pass the screws through the positioning screw holes 105 to fix the fixing plate I 101 onto the external lever assembly. Then, insert the external lever assembly and the mounting bracket body together into the steering wheel assembly position, allowing the positioning holes 106 on the fixing plate II 102 to align with the positioning screws on the steering wheel assembly. Tighten the positioning screws to fix the fixing plate II 102 to the steering wheel assembly.

[0019] Example 2: The side of the connecting plate 103 is provided with a fixing plate Ⅲ107 that mates with the external lever assembly. The fixing plate Ⅲ107 is provided with a positioning screw hole 105. After the connection is completed according to the steps of Example 1, the fixing plate Ⅲ107 is fixed to the external lever assembly by passing screws through the positioning screw hole 105, thereby achieving a tight fit.

[0020] Example 3: A fixing plate IV 108 is formed by extending from the side of the fixing plate I 101 and the connecting plate 103 away from the fixing plate III 107. The side of the fixing plate IV 108 is folded to form a limiting plate 109. The limiting plate 109 is provided with a positioning screw hole 105, and the outer contour of the limiting plate 109 abuts and connects with the outer contour of the steering wheel assembly. After the connection is completed according to the steps of Example 1 or Example 2, the fixing plate IV 108 is fixed to the steering wheel assembly by passing screws through the positioning screw hole 105. The outer contour of the limiting plate 109 abuts and connects with the outer contour of the steering wheel assembly to prevent gap shaking and improve connection stability.

[0021] Example 4: In any of Examples 1, 2 and 3, the positioning hole 106 of the fixing plate II 102 is set as a circular hole. This structural design can achieve the fixing function, but in the first step of installation, the steering wheel assembly needs to be disassembled to complete the installation.

[0022] Example 5: A lever assembly includes a lever body 200, a front cover 201, a rear cover 202, and a bracket body 1. The lever body 200 is nested between the front cover 201 and the rear cover 202. The lever assembly is fixed to the steering wheel assembly via the bracket body 1.

The rear cover 202 has a limiting buckle 204 at the connection position with the steering wheel assembly. The limiting buckle 204 can accommodate the steering column clock spring structure of different vehicle models. This snap-fit ​​fixing structure can realize the installation of the right steering wheel lever assembly of different vehicle models, improving the applicability of the product. The front cover 201 is provided with positioning screw holes 205 and limiting posts 206 that connect to the bracket body. The positioning screw holes 205 and limiting posts 206 are reserved structural components for mounting the bracket.
