Abstract: A steering wheel, including a cover, a safety airbag, and a frame, the safety airbag being accommodated in a space defined by the cover and the frame and being fixedly mounted on the frame, and the cover being connected to the frame in a suspended manner. The cover is a unitary structure, and is divided into a first functional region, a second functional region, and a third functional region. Surfaces of the first functional region and the third functional region are both provided with a touch film. At least three non-collinear force sensors are further provided in the space. Some of the force sensors are arranged to be opposite the first functional region, and the rest are arranged to be opposite the third functional region. A controller is further included. Also provided is a method for enabling a preset function in a vehicle by using a steering wheel.

Abstract: A steering wheel, including a steering wheel rim and a light-emitting assembly arranged on the steering wheel rim, wherein the light-emitting assembly includes a light source, a light guide member, and a light transmissive member, the light guide member including a light inlet portion, a light outlet portion, and an orientation portion provided between the light inlet portion and the light outlet portion. Light emitted by the light source enters the light inlet portion in a first direction, is oriented by the orientation portion, and then exits the steering wheel from the light outlet portion and the light transmissive member sequentially in a second direction. The first direction is different from the second direction, and the light transmissive member is configured to be annular and arranged in a radial direction of the steering wheel.

Abstract: A touch panel switch system, including an upper assembly, a lower assembly, and a suspension assembly. The upper assembly includes a top cover and an inner support. The top cover and the inner support are fixedly connected to each other. The lower assembly includes a housing and a bottom cover. The top cover and the housing are movably connected to each other. The housing is fixedly connected to the bottom cover. The suspension assembly is connected between the upper assembly and the lower assembly. The suspension assembly effects a trigger stroke in a Z direction. The trigger stroke is at micron scale. Also disclosed is a steering wheel. In the present invention, the trigger stroke is at micron scale, so that the touch panel switch system achieves both touch elasticity and rigidity. Therefore, when the touch panel switch system is triggered, a certain trigger feedback is provided.
