Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
The application provides a can hidden steering wheel, sets up the position of former steering wheel on the instrument desk, is the touch display screen that is used for the operation in the middle of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is particularly suitable for automobiles with automatic driving functions, under the condition of automatic driving of the automobiles, the periphery of the steering wheel is folded downwards and hidden below the display screen, and the steering wheel is integrally contracted downwards, so that the touch display screen is embedded on an instrument desk, a driver can start an automatic driving mode by operating the touch screen, various switch keys are integrated on the screen, and various automobile functions such as the volume of sound equipment can be operated. When the automatic driving mode of the automobile breaks down, the steering wheel driving device is started to recover the steering wheel, and the steering wheel can be manually operated to drive the automobile in a traditional mode.
Examples
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a concealable steering wheel comprises a steering wheel body and a steering wheel shaft 4 which are connected with each other, wherein the steering wheel body comprises a central member 1, a plurality of first folding members 2 and a plurality of second folding members 3, the steering wheel shaft 4 is connected below the central member 1, and the first folding members 2 and the second folding members 3 are alternately arranged around the central member 1 in a rotating connection manner to form a radial shape; the steering wheel shaft 4 is a telescopic structure, and the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3 can be folded downwards, in this embodiment, the connecting structures 6 of the first folding member 2, the second folding member 3 and the central member 1 are all hinged structures.
The instrument desk in front of the steering wheel is provided with a cavity for accommodating the steering wheel, and when the steering wheel shaft 4 contracts, the steering wheel body descends into the cavity of the instrument desk and the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3 are folded downwards and folded. When the central member 1 is folded downwards, the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3 rotate downwards at different angles, so that the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3 can be staggered in a folded state and cannot be blocked mutually, but the folding angles of the first folding member and the second folding member are not smaller than 90 degrees, and the process that the central member 1 enters the cavity is not blocked.
In this embodiment, there are 4 first folding members 2 and 4 second folding members 3, wherein the outermost end of the rod-shaped main body of the second folding member 3 is provided with an arc-shaped structure, the first folding member 2 is rod-shaped, and the arc-shaped structures of the second folding members 3 on both sides of the outermost end of all the first folding members 2 are connected with each other, so that the outermost side of the steering wheel body is formed into a circular ring shape, which is the same as the shape of a conventional steering wheel.
The top of central component 1 is equipped with touch-sensitive screen 5, is the part of collection display screen and touch-sensitive screen integration, and touch-sensitive screen 5 is the liquid crystal touch-sensitive screen in this embodiment, and touch-sensitive screen 5 is connected the control system of car, can be in the in-process operation each item function of autopilot, has also practiced thrift the switch of various hardwire connections simultaneously, has practiced thrift the position of instrument desk for the car is more intelligent and modernization. After the steering wheel body descends into the cavity, the surface of the touch screen 5 and the surface of the instrument desk are located on the same plane, the size and the shape of the opening of the cavity on the surface of the instrument desk are the same as those of the touch screen 5, so that the touch screen 5 is just embedded into the instrument desk and is integrated with the instrument desk, and the steering wheel is more attractive.
The steering wheel body is equipped with the position of detaining that corresponds in the cavity of accomodating the steering wheel, and after the steering wheel body descends to the cavity, central component 2 rotatory angle of setting makes the steering wheel body lock in corresponding detain the position, has guaranteed the steady state of steering wheel, because adopt between central component 1 and the touch-sensitive screen 5 to rotate connection structure and connect, so touch-sensitive screen 5 keeps motionless when central component 1 is rotatory. In this embodiment, the ADAS system is disposed in the automobile, and the touch screen 5 is connected to the ADAS system of the automobile to serve as an operation panel of the ADAS system, and functions in the ADAS system can be controlled through the touch screen 5, for example, when an automatic driving mode is to be started, the function of automatic driving can be realized by directly clicking a relevant key of the ADAS system on the touch screen 5.
The extension and contraction of the steering wheel shaft 4, the rotation of the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3, and the rotation of the central member 1 are all realized by the existing transmission mechanism and various motors, including a rotary motor, a lifting motor and the like, wherein the motors are connected with a control module of a steering wheel, and the control module of the steering wheel is controlled by a control system of an automobile. Because the touch screen 5 is connected with a control system of the automobile, corresponding actions of the steering wheel can be realized by operating the touch screen 5 to send instructions to the control system.
The steering wheel keeps the traditional driving mode in the automobile, including an ADAS mode and a traditional mode. Under traditional driving mode, debug out the steering wheel of hidden state and can use, specific process is: after the central member 1 of the steering wheel body is unlocked by rotating a set angle in the direction opposite to the locking direction, the steering wheel is stretched to lift the steering wheel body and return to a normal position, and the first folding member 2 and the second folding member 3 rotate and extend upwards and are connected to form the circular periphery of the steering wheel body, so that the shape of the conventional steering wheel is restored. So that the driver can drive the car according to the conventional driving mode.
In this embodiment, the specific method for switching between two steering wheel modes is as follows:
1. when the ADAS mode is converted into the traditional mode, the steering wheel control module controls the steering wheel body to rotate by a set angle through the rotating motor to release the locking state, then controls the steering wheel shaft 4 to elongate through the lifting motor, when the steering wheel body extends out of the instrument panel cavity by a certain height and does not influence the extension of the folding component, the first folding component 2 and the second folding component 3 of the steering wheel body are folded upwards and opened, so that the steering wheel body is restored to the traditional steering wheel state, and a driver can directly operate the steering wheel to drive a vehicle;
2. when converting to the ADAS mode from traditional mode, the steering wheel control module control first folding member 2 and the folding member of second 3 fold downwards and steering wheel axle 4 descends, the folding member will be drawn in before steering wheel axle 4 descends to the cavity and finishes, touch-sensitive screen 5 stops descending when arriving with instrument desk plane horizontal position, control center member 1 rotation set angle makes the steering wheel body lock in corresponding knot position, accomplish the operation of accomodating of steering wheel, the driver accessible direct operation touch-sensitive screen 5 drives the vehicle this moment.
