Steering column mounting bracket and steering column assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of automobile steering equipment, in particular to a steering column mounting bracket and a steering column assembly including the steering column mountingbracket. The steering column mounting bracket includes a first bracket for connection with the vehicle body and a second bracket for connection with the steering column. The first bracket is providedwith a horizontal sliding groove, and the second bracket is provided with a horizontal sliding table; The horizontal sliding table can slide along the horizontal sliding groove, so that the second bracket drives the steering column to collapse horizontally toward the first bracket. In the event of a collision while the driver is driving, Driven by inertia, the driver collides with the steering wheel, The impact force is in the horizontal direction, which is the same as the collapse direction of the second bracket, so that the second bracket can be pushed to slide horizontally forward under the action of the force, thereby driving the steering column to slide horizontally forward, i.e., the horizontal collapse of the steering column is realized, so as to protect the driver from injury to the maximum extent.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile steering equipment, in particular to a steering column mounting bracket and a steering column assembly including the steering column mounting bracket. Background technique [0002] The steering column connects the steering wheel and the steering gear, which can transmit the torque of the steering wheel to the steering gear to realize the torque transmission function; at the same time, the steering column is also provided with a crumple energy-absorbing structure, which can collapse in the event of a collision to reduce the impact on the driver. s damage. [0003] However, the current steering column can only achieve axial collapse in the event of a collision, and the axial collapse direction is not in the same direction as the horizontal force when the driver collides, resulting in poor collapse performance and therefore protection for the driver. Poor performance. Summary of the invention [0004] T...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a steering column mounting bracket and a steering column assembly including the steering column mounting bracket, so as to solve the problem that the steering column in the prior art can only be collapsed in the axial direction, resulting in collision of the vehicle body. Technical issues with poor steering column collapse performance
