The present invention relates to a steering linkage cluster device. More particularly, the present invention provides a steering interlocking cluster device, in which a cluster is linked together by tilting the steering by connecting a gear between a tilting rotation axis of the steering and a central rotation axis of the cluster.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional steering interlock cluster device, Figure 2 is a perspective view of a conventional cluster exposure structure state.

In general, since the body size of the motor vehicle driver varies, the steering angle or the position of the cluster is adjusted to suit the body size of the driver has been developed a lot of mounting angle switching device of the steering and the cluster for the driver to drive comfortably.

1 is a structure in which the steering and the cluster is integrally coupled and interlocked.

In more detail, the conventional steering interlocking cluster device includes a steering 10 used to change a direction of a vehicle, a support 22 provided at a lower end of the steering 10, and a rotation shaft provided at a lower end of the support 22. 20 and a connection member 30 provided at the support 22 adjacent to the rotation shaft 20, a cluster 42 fixed to the lower end of the connection member 30, and a crash pad covering the circumference of the cluster 42. 70 is provided.

At the time of shipment of the vehicle, the positions of the steering 10 and the cluster 42 are set on the basis of the driver of the standard height, and in FIG. 1, the steering 10 is the first position 11 and the cluster 42 is the first position. 4 positions 40.

However, when the driver's height is larger or smaller than the standard height, the tilting operation of vertically rotating the steering 10 about the rotation shaft 20 is performed.

In this case, when the driver 22 is rotated up and down about the rotation shaft 20 and the driver's height is large, the center position of the steering 10 is moved from the first position 11 to the second position 12. When the height of the driver is small, the center position of the steering 10 is moved from the first position 11 to the third position 14.

In addition, as the support 22 is rotated, the position of the cluster 42 connected to the support 22 by the connecting member 30 is also changed, and the steering 10 is moved from the first position 11 to the second position. Is moved to 12, the cluster 42 is moved from the fourth position 40 to the sixth position 60, and if the steering 10 is moved from the first position 11 to the third position 14, The cluster 42 is moved from the fourth position 40 to the fifth position 50.

Accordingly, the driver adjusts the steering 10 according to his physical condition, and accordingly the cluster 42 is adjusted so that the driver can see the contents of the instrument panel provided in the cluster 42.

However, since the position of the cluster 42 is distant and higher than the center position of the steering 10 when referring to the driver's eyes, the cluster 42 is referred to the steering axis 10 with respect to the rotation axis 20. There is a problem that too much movement for the driver if this is moved by the rotation angle.

Since the rotation distance of the cluster 42 is large, the distance between the cluster 42 and the crash pad 70 at the fourth position 40 is a, and the distance from the crash pad 70 at the sixth position 60 is b. As a result, the external appearance becomes poor, so that the structure of covering the crash pad 70 on the cluster 42 becomes difficult, so that the cluster 42 is exposed to the upper portion of the crash pad 70 as shown in FIG. 2.

However, even in the case of FIG. 2, when the steering 10 is lowered in the state of FIG. 2 (a), a gap 43 between the cluster 42 and the crash pad 70 occurs as shown in FIG. There is a problem of this vulnerability.

Therefore, the present invention has been invented to solve this problem, the cluster is adjusted together at the time of steering adjustment, but the amount of rotation of the cluster to be smaller than the amount of rotation of the steering is wrapped around the cluster with a crash pad and interlocking well into the driver's field of view The purpose is to provide a cluster device.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a steering, a first rotating shaft provided at the tilting center of the steering, a first gear provided at the first rotating shaft, a second gear engaged with the first gear, and the first gear. And a third gear meshing with the second gear, a third rotation shaft which is a center axis of the third gear, and a cluster connected to the third rotation shaft, wherein the first rotation shaft is rotated when the steering is rotated up and down, The amount of rotation of the first rotation shaft is transmitted to the third rotation shaft through the first gear, the second gear and the third gear, and the steering linkage cluster device, characterized in that the cluster is rotated up and down as the third rotation shaft is rotated To provide.

The cluster may be provided inside the crash pad, and the third rotation shaft may be provided with a first connection member rotatably connected to the crash pad.

More specifically, when the first gear 310 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the second gear 320 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, and the third gear 330 is rotated in the clockwise direction.

Therefore, since the rotation directions of the first gear 310 and the third gear 330 are the same by the second gear 320, the rotation direction of the cluster 400 is also the same as the rotation direction of the steering 100.

At this time, the third rotary shaft 340 is fixed to the center of the side of the cluster 400, the third gear 330 is rotated, the third rotary shaft 340 is rotated, the third rotary shaft 340 as the cluster is rotated 400 is also rotated around the third rotation shaft 340.
