Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle inspection technology, and in particular relates to a commercial vehicle steering wheel assembly and vehicle that can be inspected online. Background Technology

[0002] The steering wheel assembly is the actuator for power steering in a car. Existing steering wheel assemblies mainly consist of a steering wheel frame, spline bushings, and multi-function buttons. In today's increasingly intelligent era, commercial vehicle users have increasingly higher requirements for steering wheel handling effort, generally demanding lighter touches. When developing new commercial vehicle models, after the steering wheel is installed, the entire vehicle's steering performance needs to be evaluated. One important indicator is the steering wheel handling effort test. Current testing methods involve using specialized testing equipment for each vehicle, clamping it to the steering wheel, and manually turning the wheel to visually assess the handling effort and record the data. This manual data reading is not conducive to standardized data collection and subsequent data analysis, and it hinders ensuring consistent steering wheel handling across all vehicles and the convenience of driver evaluation data collection. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a commercial vehicle steering wheel assembly and vehicle that can be inspected online, which is conducive to standardized data collection and subsequent data analysis, ensuring the consistency of steering wheel operation for each vehicle and the convenience of driver evaluation data collection.

[0004] This invention is implemented as follows: a commercial vehicle steering wheel assembly capable of online detection includes a steering column and a steering wheel frame. A torque sensor is installed at the corresponding spline position of the steering column. The torque sensor is fixed to the steering wheel frame by fasteners and is connected to the vehicle's computer via a signal harness and interface.

[0005] Furthermore, four fasteners are provided, and the four fasteners are evenly distributed along the circumference of the steering tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the fastener is a bolt.

[0007] Furthermore, the torque sensor is a sensor capable of detecting at least one parameter among torque, rotation angle, and modal.

[0008] On the other hand, a vehicle is provided, including any of the above-described commercial vehicle steering wheel assemblies.

[0009] The advantages and technical effects of this utility model are as follows: By adopting the above technical solution, it facilitates standardized data collection and subsequent data analysis, ensuring consistent steering wheel operation for each vehicle and convenient data collection for driving evaluation. By utilizing electronic testing methods and adding a torque sensor assembly to the existing steering wheel assembly, the process of measuring hand force using specialized equipment during manufacturing is reduced. Torque data can be directly read from the vehicle's computer, improving manufacturing efficiency. Using the vehicle's computer to read data facilitates standardized collection and subsequent data analysis. It provides more accurate support for data collection in autonomous driving, enabling real-time monitoring of, but not limited to, torque, steering angle, and modal characteristics.
