    • In accordance with the present invention, a vehicle steering column (10) is designed to provide a modular quick-connect to a vehicle electronic system (12) and a vehicle steering mechanism (14). A steering wheel (36) is connected to a clock spring (34) in a known manner thereby providing electronic communication with the steering wheel (36). An electronic conduit (36) extends along the length of the steering column (10) and is preferably constructed of a rigid material. The electronic conduit (26) includes a first end and a second end for providing electronic communication from the clock spring (34) to the vehicle electronic system at an end of the steering column (10) opposite the steering wheel (36). A first cylindrical extension (44) extends from the steering wheel (36) and connects the steering wheel (36) to the vehicle steering mechanism (14). The first cylindrical extension (44) contains a first end (86) configured as a male or female fitting. A second cylindrical extension (46) extends from the steering mechanism (14) for connection with the first cylindrical extension (44), whereby the second cylindrical extension includes a second end (90) formed as a male or female fitting, opposite and complementary to the fitting of the first end (86) of the first cylindrical extension (44). By mating the first end (86) with the second end (90), the first and second extensions (44) and (46) are mechanically coupled in a lock and key configuration. The electronic conduit (26) is fixed to the first cylindrical extension (44) whereby the second electronic connector (22) is longitudinally oriented along the first cylindrical extension (44) to provide simultaneous electronic and mechanical connection as the first cylindrical extension (44) is mated with the second cylindrical extension (46).
    • 根据本发明,车辆转向柱(10)被设计成提供与车辆电子系统(12)和车辆转向机构(14)的模块化快速连接。 方向盘(36)以已知的方式连接到时钟弹簧(34),从而提供与方向盘(36)的电子通信。 电子导管(36)沿着转向柱(10)的长度延伸,并且优选地由刚性材料制成。 电子导管(26)包括第一端和第二端,用于在转向柱(10)的与方向盘(36)相对的端部处提供从时钟弹簧(34)到车辆电子系统的电子通信。 第一圆柱形延伸部(44)从方向盘(36)延伸并将方向盘(36)连接到车辆转向机构(14)。 第一圆柱形延伸部(44)包含配置为阳型或阴型配件的第一端(86)。 第二圆柱形延伸部(46)从转向机构(14)延伸,用于与第一圆柱形延伸部(44)连接,由此第二圆柱形延伸部包括形成为阳或阴配件的第二端(90) 第一圆柱形延伸部(44)的第一端(86)的配合。 通过将第一端(86)与第二端(90)配合,第一和第二延伸部(44)和(46)以锁定和键配置机械耦合。 电子导管(26)固定到第一圆柱形延伸部(44),由此第二电子连接器(22)沿着第一圆柱形延伸部(44)纵向取向,以提供与第一圆柱形延伸部(44)同时的电子和机械连接, 与第二圆柱形延伸部(46)配合。
