Where is the Steering Column Located in a Car?
1 Answers
Steering column is located on the car's steering wheel and serves as a device for the driver to control the direction. Below are relevant details: 1. Function of the steering column: The steering column is the component connecting the steering wheel and the steering gear in the steering system, primarily used to transmit torque. Through the steering column, the driver transfers torque to the steering gear, driving the steering gear to achieve steering. Common types of steering columns include hydraulic power steering columns, electro-hydraulic power steering columns, and electric power steering columns, with different systems for each type. 2. Safety protection device for the car's steering column: This is designed to prevent the steering wheel from dropping after a collision and to guide the collapse of the steering column during a collision, ensuring the position of the airbag at the moment of deployment. The solution involves installing bent-shaped protective plates on both sides and below the steering column, with their limiting direction aligned with that of the steering column.
