What phenomenon does the movement of the steering wheel belong to?
1 Answers
The movement of a car's steering wheel involves both translation and rotation. Detailed analysis: When driving straight, the car's steering wheel undergoes translation. When turning the steering wheel, it rotates—meaning it rotates when being turned and translates when not being turned. Introduction to the steering wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. The earliest cars used a tiller for steering control. Function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines. 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. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and optimizes the placement of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.
