Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions, advantages and objects of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the present application.
The invention is further illustrated by the following figures and examples.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides an electronic steering column lock, which includes:
the driving unit is used for providing power for the execution unit;
the execution unit is used for transmitting power and executing unlocking and locking actions;
the control unit is used for sending and receiving a working instruction and controlling the on-off of the execution unit;
the fixing unit is used for supporting and locking the electronic steering column lock to enable the electronic steering column lock and the steering column to be fixedly connected into a whole;
the control unit is electrically connected with the execution unit and the driving unit.
Further, the driving unit is a micro motor 7.
Further, the execution unit includes:
the transmission gear 5 is used for transmitting power output by the micro motor 7; the transmission gear 5 is meshed with a worm 9 of the motor 7, has a self-locking function, and can prevent sudden locking in the unlocking state.
The screw rod and nut rotating structure is used for converting curvilinear motion into linear motion; the engagement of the screw rod 6 and the nut 8 has a self-locking function, and can prevent the direction from being locked suddenly in an unlocking state.
