Description

方向盘和方向盘组件 技术领域
本发明涉及车辆的操纵机构，具体地，涉及方向盘和方向盘组件。
背景技术
车辆通常通过其前轮调节机动车辆的期望方向。车辆的驾驶员通过方向盘设定期望的方向。为此，使方向盘的轮缘旋转，使得前轮指向期望的方向。方向盘的轮缘通常位于车辆驾驶员胸部的前方，使得车辆驾驶员可以相对容易地抓住方向盘的轮缘。与此同时，方向盘的设置位置导致驾驶员的运动自由度受到限制，使得驾驶员不能或仅相对笨拙地在座椅内向侧面旋转。另外，驾驶员从车辆进出也不利地受此影响。
如今车辆的自动化程度越来越高，使得车辆可以自主地移动。相应地，针对车辆区分了不同的自动化级别。从对应于高度自动化的等级3开始，驾驶员不必一直监视用于控制车辆的各个系统。因此，驾驶员可以将其注意力转移到其感兴趣的事项或者进行休息。在这种情形下，期望方向盘轮缘被拆卸以为驾驶员提供更大的空间和更高的舒适度。

图5(a)-图5(c)示意性地示出根据本发明实施例的方向盘的安装和拆卸方法。
具体实施方式
以下将结合附图描述根据本发明的方向盘和方向盘组件的具体实施方式。下面的详细描述和附图用于示例性地说明本发明的原理，本发明不限于所描述的优选实施例，本发明描述的各个实施例既可以单独使用，也可以任意组合，本发明的保护范围由权利要求书限定。
此外，空间相关术语(诸如“上”、“下”、“左”和“右”等)用于描述附图所示的元件与另一个元件的相对位置关系。因此，空间相关术语可以应用到使用时与附图所示的方向不同的方向中。显然，虽然为了易于说明，所有这些空间相关术语指的是附图所示的方向，但是本领域技术人员能够理解可以使用与附图中所示的方向不同的方向。
图1示意性地示出根据本发明实施例的方向盘组件。以下参照图1描述根据本发明实施例的方向盘组件。
如图1所示，根据本发明实施例的方向盘组件1用于车辆的转向。该方向盘组件1包括方向盘10和转向柱20。当需要车辆转向时，驾驶员操作方向盘1以向方向盘1施加扭矩使其转动，之后扭矩经由转向柱20传递 给车辆的转向器，以使转向器转动，从而驱动转向拉杆机构，使得转向拉杆机构驱动车辆转向。而且，根据本发明实施例的方向盘10包括骨架100和安装台200，其中，安装台200被构造为安装到转向柱20，例如，安装台200上设置有用于与转向柱20配合的花键部206(参见图3)，该花键部206为内花键部并且与转向柱20的端部上设置的外花键部(未示出)配合以将安装台200和转向柱20安装在一起。并且，骨架100能够经由安装台200安装到转向柱20，以及，骨架100能够通过与安装台200分离而被拆卸离开转向柱20，以有利地为驾驶员提供更大的空间，这将在下文进行详细描述。
图2、图3和图4(a)-图4(b)分别示意性地示出根据本发明实施例的方向盘中的部分部件。以下分别参照图2、图3和图4(a)-图4(b)描述根据本发明实施例的方向盘中的部件。
图2示出了根据本发明实施例的方向盘10中的骨架100。需要说明的是，图2仅示出根据本发明实施例的方向盘10的一部分，并且，图2示出的骨架100可以理解为从图1的右下方观察到的骨架100。为了方便描述，将图2中骨架100的前侧定义为骨架100的第一侧，以及，将图2中骨架100的后侧定义为骨架100的第二侧，能够理解，第一侧和第二侧彼此相对，以及，骨架100的第一侧为图1中骨架100的右侧。结合图1能够理解，安装台200被安装在骨架100的第一侧。为此，方向盘100还包括锁止构件300，该锁止构件300用于将安装台200和骨架100锁止在一起。
在图2示出的示例性实施例中，锁止构件300与骨架100被构造为可分离的两个构件。具体地，骨架100在第一侧上设置有定位孔102，该定位孔102用于定位锁止构件300。此外，骨架100在第一侧上还设置有导向槽101，作为引导件的一部分，该导向槽101、特别是导向槽101的两个侧面用于在安装/或拆卸过程中，引导安装台200与骨架100之间的在第一平面内的相对移动。例如，该导向槽101被设置为燕尾槽，该燕尾槽被构造为在离开骨架100的方向上收窄，以及，上述第一平面可以相应地构造为燕尾槽的底面。能够理解，燕尾槽能够用于防止安装台200在相对于骨架100在第一平面内移动期间，在与第一平面垂直的第二平面内移动而 脱离骨架100，从而确保安装台200和骨架100沿着预定的安装/拆卸路径。作为一个应用场景，当根据本发明的方向盘组件安装到车辆中时，在需要拆卸方向盘的情形下，方向盘的骨架能够沿着预定的拆卸路径相对于转向柱以及固定在转向柱上的安装台两者移动，直到脱离转向柱，这有利地确保了方向盘的骨架的运动范围，以确保驾驶员的预定活动空间。
作为本发明的示例性实施例，骨架100在第二侧上集成有安全气囊的壳体400。相较于安全气囊的壳体与骨架为两个单独的构件并且通过连接件连接在一起，骨架集成有安全气囊的壳体能够有利地减小方向盘上设置的安全气囊与骨架之间的振动噪声。
图3示出了根据本发明实施例的方向盘10中的安装台200。如图3所示，安装台200包括基板201和设置于基板201上的凸台204。该基板201的相对侧面(即，图3中基板201的左侧面有侧面)被构造为导向面203，作为引导件的一部分，该导向面203被构造为沿着骨架100上的导向槽101、特别是分别沿着导向槽101的两个侧面移动，以引导安装台200相对于骨架100在第一平面内的相对移动。并且，能够从图3中清楚地看到，凸台204上设置有与转向柱20配合的花键部206。
安装台200的基板201上还设置有孔205，该孔205用于定位时钟弹簧。以及，图2中基板201的花键部206上侧的还设置有槽，该槽用作时钟弹簧线束端子的插接孔。此外，为了方便线束通过，基板201上还设置有缺口部207，该缺口部207与用作插接孔的槽在图3中一上一下布置，而且孔205以及锁止孔202在图3中分别一左一右布置，使得安装台200具有对称机构。这有利于安装台、以及由此方向盘的重量均匀地分布。
图4(a)-图4(b)分别示出了根据本发明实施例的方向盘10中的锁止构件300。如图4(a)-图4(b)所示，锁止构件300包括锁止柱301、弹性件302和固定件303。锁止柱301包括开口槽3011、斜面3012和凸缘3013，其中，凸缘3013和斜面3012被设置在锁止柱301的同一端处，开口槽3011设置在锁止柱301的另一端处。弹性件302(例如螺旋弹簧)围绕锁止柱301的周面布置，并且弹性件302的一端定位在锁止柱301的凸缘3013上，弹性件302的另一端在骨架100的定位孔102处定位在骨架 100的第一侧的侧面上。固定件303例如被构造为U形卡簧，其被构造为在骨架100的第二侧处定位在锁止柱301的开口槽3011中。因此，弹性件302和固定件303被设置在骨架100的相对两侧，以将锁止柱301定位在骨架100的定位孔102中。以及，斜面3012被构造为，在安装台200相对于骨架100在第一平面内移动期间，当安装台200移动到转向柱301处时，其将在转向柱301的斜面3012上移动。具体地，当需要将安装台200和骨架100安装在一起时(在此之前，锁止构件300已经安装到骨架100上，并且此时，锁止构件300的锁止柱301从骨架100的定位孔102中凸伸而露出一段长度)，在图4(b)所示的锁止柱301的放置方位中，安装台200从锁止柱301的左侧向右侧移动，当移动到锁止柱301时，安装台200在斜面3012上移动以将锁止柱301从当前第一位置压缩到第二位置(即，锁止柱301在安装台200的作用下在图2的向上方向移动)，直到锁止柱301与安装台200上的锁止孔202对准时，锁止柱301从第二位置恢复到第一位置，由此进入安装台200的锁止孔202中，从而锁止安装台200和骨架100继续发生在第一平面的相对移动。
图5(a)-图5(c)示意性地示出根据本发明实施例的方向盘的安装和拆卸方法。以下参照图5(a)-图5(c)描述如何安装和拆卸根据本发明实施例的方向盘。
需要说明的是，在图(a)-图5(c)的每一者中，左侧图示出骨架100的第一侧，以及，右侧图示出骨架100的第二侧。
首先，提供骨架100。图5(a)示出待安装的根据本发明的方向盘10的骨架100，如图5(a)的右侧图所示，在骨架100的第二侧上集成有安全气囊的壳体400，该壳体400的底部上设置有用于定位固定件303的槽103，以及，骨架100上设置的定位孔102穿过壳体400。此外，壳体400的侧壁上还设置有槽401，该槽401用于工具30穿过壳体400将骨架100和安装台200分开。
之后，将锁止构件300安装到骨架100上。图5(b)示出锁止构件300与骨架100已经安装在一起的示意图。如图5(b)的左侧图所示，弹性件302的一端定位在锁止柱301的凸缘3013上，弹性件302的另一端在 骨架100的定位孔102处定位在骨架100的第一侧的侧面上。如图5(b)的右侧图所示，固定件303在骨架100的第二侧处定位在壳体400的槽401中并且定位在锁止柱301的开口槽3011中。因此，弹性件302和固定件303被设置在骨架100的相对两侧，以将锁止柱301定位在骨架100的定位孔102中。
最后，将安装台300安装到骨架100上。图5(c)示出安装台200与骨架100已经安装在一起的示意图。如图5(c)的左侧图所示，安装台200相对于骨架100在引导件的引导下从上侧向下侧移动，当安装台200移动到转向柱301处时，其将在转向柱301的斜面3012上移动，以将锁止柱301从当前第一位置压缩到第二位置(即，锁止柱301在安装台200的作用下缩回到骨架100的定位孔102中)，直到锁止柱301与安装台200上的锁止孔202对准时，从第二位置恢复到第一位置，由此进入安装台200的锁止孔202中，从而锁止安装台200相对于骨架100在第一平面内移动。如图5(c)的右侧图所示，当需要拆卸方向盘时，将工具30伸入到固定件303的下侧，并且向工具30的下端施加向下的力，从而使得工具30的上端以及由此固定件303向上移动，直到锁止柱301缩回到骨架100的定位孔102中，此时，将骨架100相对于安装台200向下移动而离开安装台200，从而完成方向盘10的拆卸。
因此，本发明通过在方向盘中设置锁止构件，使得锁止构件包括设置在骨架上的锁止柱和设置安装台上的锁止孔，锁止柱被构造为：在安装台相对于骨架在第一平面内移动期间，先被安装台从第一位置压缩到第二位置，之后与锁止孔对准时从第二位置恢复到第一位置以插入锁止，因此，提供了能够以简单且便捷的方式被拆卸的方向盘。
需要说明的是，以上实施例以锁止构件与骨架被构造为可分离的两个构件进行了描述。但是本发明的方向盘不限于此，例如，锁止构件的锁止柱还可以设置为以可相对移动但是固定的方式设置在骨架上。
以及，以上实施例以锁止构件的锁止柱设置在骨架上、锁止构件的锁止孔设置在安装台进行了描述。但是本发明的方向盘不限于此，并且包括相反的设置，即，锁止构件的锁止孔设置在骨架上、锁止构件的锁止柱设 置在安装台，这同样能实现在安装台相对于骨架在第一平面内移动期间，锁止柱先被骨架从第一位置压缩到第二位置，之后与锁止孔对准时从所述第二位置恢复到所述第一位置以插入锁止孔，从而锁止安装台相对于骨架在第一平面内移动。
如前所述，尽管说明中已经参考附图对本发明的示例性实施例进行了说明，但是本发明不限于上述具体实施方式，本发明的保护范围应当由权利要求书及其等同含义来限定。
