What is the phenomenon of steering wheel movement when driving on a straight road?
1 Answers
Turning the steering wheel is a rotational phenomenon, which involves rotation around a fixed point. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. When using a larger-diameter steering wheel for turning, the hand force required from the driver can be reduced. Composition of the steering wheel: 1. Frame: The frame is usually made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy, and some manufacturers are experimenting with cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. The frame is produced through die-casting. A few manufacturers still use steel sheet metal for the frame, resulting in a more complex structure. 2. Foam: The foam material is generated in a foaming machine, with the frame fixed in the foaming machine during production.
