Description
More specifically, the present invention relates to a steering wheel cover, and more particularly, to a steering wheel cover, more specifically, when connecting a cover connector and a magnetic connector using magnetism, the cover connector and the magnet connector are easily separated even when operated without separating the cover connector and the magnet connector, The present invention relates to a steering wheel cover using a magnet that can prevent a connector from being broken and prevent a safety accident.
In general, a steering wheel cover for an automobile is manufactured in the form of a ring so as to cover the entire grip portion of the steering wheel. In particular, the cover used for winter season is made of natural or artificial fur or warmth fabrics having a mother- The gripping feeling can be improved when the steering wheel is gripped and the cold feeling can be prevented from being transmitted from the gripping portion.
However, since the cover for winter season has a function of simply shutting off a part of the cold air from the grip portion before starting the vehicle in the winter when the temperature is low, or when the indoor temperature is low after starting, it is difficult for the driver to feel warmth , Which may cause the driver to not hold the handle properly and thus cause a car accident.
Particularly in cold regions, such as in polar regions such as Russia and Alaska, for example, general steering wheel covers are not able to withstand the cold, so the above problems are more likely to occur.
In order to compensate for the disadvantages of the cover for winter season, a heat insulating cover capable of generating heat by attaching a heat ray capable of generating heat to the inside of the cover is made. However, this cover is a center fascia side The connection line is exposed to the outside and the appearance is not good. In addition, when the steering wheel is turned, the connection line may be twisted or the cable may be easily detached from the cigar jack. Furthermore, in the process of twisting the connection line, the connection portion of the hot wire and the electric wire, which is one of the weakest connection portions, or the cigar jack portion may be damaged, so that not only the vandalism but also the collision caused by the abrupt driver may occur.
In the above-described
In the case of the steering wheel cover described above, a heat wire is embedded inside the cover, and an electric wire electrically connected to the heat wire is protruded to one side of the body to supply electric power to the heat wire, and a connector for insertion into the cigar jack is provided .
However, in the case of the above-mentioned steering wheel cover, if the driver does not know that the connector is inserted into the cigar jack and operates the steering wheel by grasping the steering wheel unintentionally, the steering wheel rotates and the electric wire is twisted or the electric wire is severed, There is a problem that a second accident such as a traffic accident may occur.
In order to solve such a problem, a power connection port is connected to the steering wheel cover and a connection plug is formed at the end of the electric cable connecting the cigar jack, so that the power connection port and the connection plug are coupled to each other .
However, in a system in which the above-described power connection port and the connection plug are coupled to each other, in order to release the coupling between the power connection port and the connection plug by recognizing that the driver forgets the steering wheel cover after heating the steering wheel cover to some extent, The wheel cover and the other hand must be dismantled in a state in which the connection plug is grasped, so that both hands are not free, thereby causing a safety accident such as a traffic accident.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic connector in which a cover connector and a magnet connector are connected by using magnetic force, Which is capable of preventing the steering wheel cover from being damaged.
In addition, even if the cover body is heated to some extent and the cover connector and the magnetic connector are not connected to each other, the power cable is pulled out of the cover connector when the steering wheel is rotated excessively, And it is an object of the present invention to provide a steering wheel cover which can prevent a safety accident by allowing the magnetic connector to be automatically dismounted and also to easily detach the magnetic connector with one hand if necessary.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a steering wheel, comprising: a ring formed to surround an outer circumferential surface of a steering wheel, a heating element disposed inside the ring, electrically connected to the heating element at one side, A cover body (10) to which a cover connector (11) having at least one of a cover member (16) And a magnetic connector (21) which is brought into contact with the cover connector (11) by magnetic force and has at least one of a magnetic body or a steel band (26) at one end to be attached to the cover connector (11) And a wire section (20) having a cigar jack connector (22) inserted into the cigar jack.

According to the steering wheel cover of the present invention, first, even if the cover connector and the magnetic connector are connected, the cover connector and the magnetic connector can be easily separated from each other, so that the cover connector and the magnetic connector are damaged, There is an effect that can be prevented in advance.
Second, since the driver can be notified of the abnormal state by a sensor such as a temperature sensor, a time sensor, and a notification means such as an LED lamp, a speaker, and a display, the driver can use the device safely.
Thirdly, a heating element can be provided only in a necessary portion of the steering wheel cover, and the heating time can be shortened and the heating can be rapidly performed.
