STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Energy Absorbing Mechanism


      1. The energy absorbing mechanism mainly consists of a breakaway bracket, energy absorbing plate, No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly and column tube. The tilt steering gear with motor assembly is mounted on the instrument panel reinforcement assembly via a breakaway bracket. The tilt steering gear with motor assembly and the power steering link assembly are connected with a contractile No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly.

      2. When the power steering link assembly moves during a collision (primary collision), the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly contracts, thus helping reduce the possibility of the tilt steering gear with motor assembly and the steering wheel assembly protruding into the cabin.

      3. When a collision impact is transmitted to the steering wheel assembly (secondary collision), the steering wheel assembly and the driver's airbag help absorb the impact.

      4. The energy absorbing plate deforms, and the column tube contracts.
