Abstract

PURPOSE: A steering wheel for vehicles is provided to protect safely a driver by deforming a rim in order to absorb impact energy and spreading to the remaining energy to a spoke and a hub. CONSTITUTION: A steering wheel for a vehicle is composed of a hub(200) in which a steering column is coupled at a bottom thereof, a rim(100) installed at an outside of the hub(200), and a spoke(300) for connecting the rim(100) and the hub(200). A hollow portion(110) is formed at an inside of the rim(100). A steel rod(400) is installed at the inside of the hollow portion(110). A hole is formed in a certain distance passing through the steel rod(400). If a body of a driver contacts to the rim(100) due to a collision of the vehicle, impact energy is absorbed by deforming the rim and spreading the remaining energy to the spoke and the hub.

Description

자동차용 스티어링휠{Vehicle steering wheel}Automotive steering wheel {Vehicle steering wheel}

본 발명은 자동차용 스티어링휠에 관한 것으로서, 더욱더 상세하게는 차량을 운행중 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 림에 접하는 경우에도, 상기 운전자의 신체가 부상당하는 것이 억제되도록 하는 자동차용 스티어링휠에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a steering wheel for an automobile, and more particularly, to a steering wheel for an automobile so that the driver's body is suppressed from being injured even when a collision accident or the like occurs while the vehicle is in contact with the rim. It is about.

일반적으로 자동차에는 차량을 운행하는 운전자가 차량의 진행방향을 운전자가 임으로 조작하여 변경해 가면서 운행이 이루어지도록 하는 스티어링휠이 설치되어 있다.In general, a steering wheel is installed in a vehicle to allow a driver to drive the vehicle while the driver changes the driving direction of the vehicle.

여기에서 종래 자동차용 스티어링휠은 도 1에 도시하고 있는 바와 같이, 저면에 스티어링컬럼이 결합되는 허브(200)와, 상기 허브(200)의 외측에 설치되는 림(100)과, 상기 림(100)과 허브(200)를 연결하는 스포크(300)로 구성되어 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional steering wheel for a vehicle includes a hub 200 having a steering column coupled to a bottom surface thereof, a rim 100 installed outside the hub 200, and the rim 100. ) And a spoke 300 that connects the hub 200.

이러한 종래 자동차용 스티어링휠은 차량을 운행하는 운전자가 림(100)을 손으로 잡은 상태에서 일측 및 타측으로 힘을 가하는 것에 의해 스포크(300)로 연결된 허브(200)가 일측 및 타측으로 회전하고, 상기 허브(200)가 일측 및 타측으로 회전하는 것에 의해 스티어링컬럼케이스(600)의 내부에 설치된 스티어링샤프트가 일측 및 타측으로 동시에 회전되면서 차량의 진행방향을 바꾸도록 하고 있다.The conventional steering wheel for a vehicle is a hub 200 connected to the spokes 300 by rotating the one side and the other side by applying a force to one side and the other side while the driver running the vehicle by holding the rim 100 by hand, As the hub 200 rotates to one side and the other side, the steering shaft installed inside the steering column case 600 is simultaneously rotated to one side and the other side to change the traveling direction of the vehicle.

그러나 이러한 종래 자동차용 스티어링휠은 차량을 운행중 차량을 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 전방으로 쏠리면서 스티어링휠의 림에 신체가 접하는 경우, 상기 림이 변형되지 않는 것에 의해 운전자의 신체가 크게 부상을 당하게 되는 문제점이 있었다.However, such a conventional steering wheel for a vehicle has a driver's body largely because the rim is not deformed when the driver's body is in contact with the rim of the steering wheel while the driver's body is moved forward while driving the vehicle. There was a problem of being injured.

본 발명의 목적은 상기 종래와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 저면에 스티어링컬럼이 결합되는 허브와, 상기 허브의 외측에 설치되는 림과, 상기 림과 허브를연결하는 스포크로 구성되어 지는 것에 있어서, 상기 림의 내부에 중공이 형성되고, 상기 중공의 내부에는 소정의 간격으로 통공이 관통되어 형성된 스틸봉을 설치하여, 차량을 운행중 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 림에 접하면, 상기 림이 변형되면서 충격에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여 차량을 운행하는 운전자의 신체가 부상당하는 것이 억제되도록 하는 자동차용 스티어링휠을 제공하는 데 있다.An object of the present invention, in order to solve the same problem as the conventional, in that the steering column is coupled to the hub, the rim is installed on the outside of the hub, and the rim and the spoke that connects the hub, A hollow is formed inside the rim, and a steel bar is formed through the through hole at a predetermined interval in the inside of the rim so that a collision accident, etc. occurs while driving the vehicle, and the driver's body contacts the rim. This deformation is to provide a steering wheel for the automobile to effectively absorb the impact energy to suppress the injury of the driver's body running the vehicle.

이하, 첨부된 도면에 의하여 본 발명의 그 기술적 구성을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the technical configuration of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

본 발명의 자동차용 스티어링휠도 도 2와 도 3에 도시하고 있는 바와 같이, 저면에 스티어링컬럼이 결합되는 허브(200)와, 상기 허브(200)의 외측에 설치되는 림(100)과, 상기 림(100)과 허브(200)를 연결하는 스포크(300)로 구성되어 지는 것은 종래와 같다. 단, 본 발명은 상기 림(100)의 내부에 중공(110)이 형성되고, 상기 중공(110)의 내부에는 소정의 간격(L)으로 통공이 관통되어 형성된 스틸봉(400)이 설치됨을 그 기술적 구성상의 기본 특징으로 한다.2 and 3, the steering wheel for automobiles of the present invention, the hub 200 is coupled to the steering column on the bottom, the rim 100 is provided on the outside of the hub 200, and Consisting of the spoke 300 to connect the rim 100 and the hub 200 is the same as the conventional. However, in the present invention, the hollow 110 is formed in the interior of the rim 100, and the inside of the hollow 110 is provided with a steel rod 400 formed by passing through holes at a predetermined interval (L). The basic features of the technical configuration.

이와 같이 구성되는 본 발명은 차량을 운행중 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 전방으로 쏠리면서 림(100)에 접하는 경우, 상기 림(100)이 운전자의 신체가 접하면서 발생된 충격하중에 의해 중공(110)의 내부에 설치된 스틸봉(400)의 통공을 중심으로 림(100)이 변형되면서 충격에너지를 흡수하고, 상기 림(100)이 변형되면서 흡수하고 남은 충격에너지는 림(100)에 설치된 스틸봉(400)을 통해 스포크(300)와 허브(200)로 폭넓게 전달되면서 충격에너지가 흡수 된다.According to the present invention configured as described above, when a collision accident or the like occurs while driving a vehicle and the driver's body is in contact with the rim 100 while being forward, the rim 100 is caused by the impact load generated while the driver's body is in contact with the rim 100. The rim 100 absorbs impact energy while the rim 100 is deformed around the through hole of the steel rod 400 installed inside the hollow 110, and the remaining impact energy is absorbed while the rim 100 is deformed to the rim 100. Shock energy is absorbed while being widely transmitted to the spoke 300 and the hub 200 through the installed steel bar 400.

따라서 이러한 본 발명은 차량을 운행중 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 전방으로 쏠려 림(100)에 접하는 경우에도, 상기 림(100)이 변형되면서 충격에너지를 효과적으로 흡수함과 동시에 폭넓게 분산시켜 차량을 운행하는 운전자의 상해치가 저감되도록 하는 효과가 있다.Therefore, in the present invention, even when a collision accident or the like occurs while driving a vehicle, the driver's body is pulled forward to come into contact with the rim 100, and the rim 100 is deformed while effectively absorbing the impact energy and dispersing the vehicle widely. There is an effect to reduce the injury value of the driver driving the.

이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 본 발명은 저면에 스티어링컬럼이 결합되는 허브와, 상기 허브의 외측에 설치되는 림과, 상기 림과 허브를 연결하는 스포크로 구성되어 지는 것에 있어서, 상기 림의 내부에 중공이 형성되고, 상기 중공의 내부에는 소정의 간격으로 통공이 관통되어 형성된 스틸봉이 설치되어, 차량을 운행중 충돌사고등이 발생하여 운전자의 신체가 전방으로 쏠려 림에 접하는 경우, 상기 림이 변형되면서 충격에너지를 효과적으로 흡수함과 동시에 폭넓게 분산시켜 차량을 운행하는 운전자의 상해치가 저감되도록 하는 매우 유용한 발명이다.As described above, the present invention comprises a hub having a steering column coupled to the bottom, a rim installed on the outside of the hub, and a spoke connecting the rim and the hub, wherein the hollow is formed inside the rim. And a steel rod formed through the through hole at a predetermined interval inside the hollow, and when an accident occurs while driving the vehicle and the driver's body is brought forward to come into contact with the rim, the rim is deformed and the impact energy is deformed. It is a very useful invention that effectively absorbs and at the same time dispersed widely to reduce the injury of the driver driving the vehicle.
