Abstract
In a quick removable position sensor installed onto a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, a transmission mechanism is sheathed onto a steering wheel axle, such that the transmission mechanism and the steering wheel axle can perform a turning movement, and an end of an angular sensor is connected to the steering wheel axle, and another end of the angular sensor is connected to the transmission mechanism, for receiving a turning signal generated and outputted by a turning of the transmission mechanism, and a casing is provided for covering the steering wheel axle, the transmission mechanism and the angular sensor, such that the components in the casing can perform the turning movement and receive the turning signal.
Claims4
A quick removable position sensor, installed onto a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, and comprising:
- a transmission mechanism, for performing a turning movement;
- an angular sensor, with an end coupled to the transmission mechanism, for receiving a turning signal outputted by a turning of the transmission mechanism;
- and
- a casing, for wrapping the transmission mechanism and the angular sensor, such that the components in the casing can perform the turning movement and receive the turning signal,
- wherein the transmission mechanism comprises a first transmission gear and a second transmission gear, and the first transmission gear comprises two semi-circular transmission gears, and a first snap portion and a second snap portion separately disposed on a side of the semi-circular transmission gears, and
- wherein the second transmission gear includes gear teeth formed at an external periphery of the second transmission gear and engaged with and stacked onto gear teeth formed at an external periphery of the first transmission gear respectively.
A quick removable position sensor, installed onto a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, and comprising:
- a steering wheel axle;
- a transmission mechanism, sheathed onto a steering wheel axle, such that the transmission mechanism and the steering wheel axle can perform a turning movement;
- an angular sensor, with an end coupled to the steering wheel axle, and another end coupled to the transmission mechanism, for receiving a turning signal outputted by a turning of the transmission mechanism;
- and
- a casing, for wrapping the steering wheel axle, the transmission mechanism and the angular sensor, such that the components in the casing can perform the turning movement and receive the turning signal,
- wherein the casing is comprised of a first casing and a second casing, and a first latch portion and a second latch portion are formed on external sides of the first casing and the second casing respectively, such that after the latch portions are latched, the casing is covered onto the steering wheel axle, the transmission mechanism and the angular sensor, and
- wherein the steering wheel axle further includes a first lug and a second lug extended from both sides of the steering wheel axle respectively, and a first locking hole and a second locking hole formed at the central positions of the lugs respectively.
