[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the personalization and electrical intelligence of automotive steering wheel structures have significantly improved. During production, automotive steering wheels require assembly to complete the assembly of the overall frame, electronic equipment, and plastic covering parts. In existing assembly processes, this process is mainly carried out by assembly workers at individual workstations, relying on specialized assembly fixtures to complete the assembly of individual steering wheels. Throughout the assembly process, we often encounter problems because the specialized assembly fixtures are relatively fixed, making it impossible for workers to flexibly adjust the assembly angles when assembling different parts of the steering wheel, and also hindering effective collaboration between multiple workstations, resulting in low overall assembly efficiency.

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013] Example: An assembly device for an automobile steering wheel, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a steering wheel component 1 and a mounting plate 2 for assembling the steering wheel component 1. Assembly personnel can achieve assembly line production of the steering wheel component 1 by pre-installing and fixing the mounting plate 2.
[0014] The mounting plate 2 is equipped with a conveying electric slide rail 3 and an electrically controlled slider 4 that slides and connects to the conveying electric slide rail 3. The mounting plate 2 is also equipped with multiple signal receiving holes 22, and a station control button block 23 is movably inserted into the signal receiving hole 22. This satisfies the design of multiple assembly stations that are evenly distributed along the conveying electric slide rail 3 in the actual production line. Each station can realize the sequential assembly of different components of the steering wheel 1. The assembly personnel at the independent station can manually operate the station control button block 23 to form a signal linkage with the conveying electric slide rail 3 and the electrically controlled slider 4, so as to control the orderly feeding and positioning of the electrically controlled slider 4, thereby carrying out the sequential assembly process of multiple components of the steering wheel 1.
[0015] A support block 5 is movably connected to the side of the electronically controlled slider 4 away from the mounting plate 2. The support block 5 and the electronically controlled slider 4 are connected by a connecting assembly, which includes a first connecting block 6 and a second connecting block 7. The first connecting block 6 and the second connecting block 7 are rotatably connected. The end of the first connecting block 6 is provided with a rotating sleeve shaft 8, and the second connecting block 7 is provided with a damping bearing sleeve 9 for the rotating sleeve shaft 8 to rotatably insert into. Through the relative rotation between the first connecting block 6 and the second connecting block 7, the support block 5 can be flexibly flipped, which facilitates the assembly personnel at the workstation to flexibly assemble parts of the steering wheel, especially for some precision electronic wiring. The setting of the damping bearing sleeve 9 ensures that as the assembly personnel manually flip it, the support block 5 can be instantly fixed at any angle under its rotational damping action, reducing the inconvenience caused by the fixed assembly angle. Meanwhile, a locking thread 18 is provided on the outer side of the end of the rotating sleeve 8 extending from the damping bearing sleeve 9. The locking thread 18 is threadedly connected to a rotary locking block 19. When the assembler tightens the rotary locking block 19, it can further increase the relative deflection angle between the connecting block 1 6 and the connecting block 2 7, so that the relative angle of the bearing support block 5 fully meets the operation of the assembler. A wear-resistant and anti-slip pad is provided on the side of the rotary locking block 19 near the connecting block 2 7, which improves the locking tightness of the rotary locking block 19.
[0016] The connecting part of the steering wheel component 1 is provided with a mounting rod 10 (such as... Figure 3As shown), the support block 5 is equipped with a fixing sleeve 13. Inside the fixing sleeve 13, a connecting sleeve 14 is rotatably connected to engage with the mounting rod 10. The assembler tightens the mounting rod 10 on the steering wheel component 1 to be assembled into the connecting sleeve 14, facilitating the subsequent sequential assembly of multiple components. Simultaneously, the mounting rod 10 is equipped with a locking disc 11, which has an adjustment hole 12. The side of the fixing sleeve 13 also has a positioning ring 15 that engages with the locking disc 11. The positioning ring 15 has an adjusting rod 16 that engages with the adjustment hole 12. After normal assembly, the mounting rod 10 is locked into the connecting sleeve 14, while the adjusting rod 16 engages with the adjustment hole 12, restricting the rotation of the support block 5. When it is necessary to rotate the support block 5 and the steering wheel component 1 under assembly, the assembler pulls out the mounting rod 10, allowing the mounting rod to move freely. The rod 10 slides a certain distance along the insertion sleeve 14. At this time, the adjusting hole 12 disengages from the adjusting rod 16. The assembler can then rotate the bearing block 5 and the steering wheel component 1 on it as needed. After the rotation is adjusted to the correct position, the rod continues to be inserted into the insertion sleeve 14. The adjusting rod 16 is simultaneously inserted into the adjusting hole 12, thereby completing the further rotation of the bearing block 5. A limit cap 17 is movably inserted into the adjusting rod 16, which can help the assembler achieve a stable locking effect on the adjusting rod 16 and the adjusting hole 12, ensuring the orderly assembly of the steering wheel component 1.
[0017] Considering the intelligent assembly requirements of the existing steering wheel component 1, a signal simulation control block 20 is also provided in the support block 5. The fixed sleeve 13 has an electrical signal pin 21 that communicates with the signal simulation control block 20. During the assembly line debugging process, the assembly personnel can pre-input the electrical signal control module into the signal control simulation block. When the mounting rod 10 is inserted, the electrical signal pin can synchronously realize the electrical signal output and communicate with the electronic control system in the steering wheel component 1. This facilitates the assembly and debugging of the electrical signal module path and meets the requirements of an efficient and complete steering wheel assembly process.
[0018] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
