Structure for mounting steering angle sensor for steering

Abstract

In a structure for mounting a steering angle sensor for a steering wheel for detecting a steering angle of a steering wheel, a fitting recessed portion 6 is provided in a side surface of a column ( 4 ) to which a steering-signal transmitting unit ( 3 ), a turn signal lever ( 1 ), and a wiper control switch lever ( 2 ) are attached, and a steering angle sensor ( 5 ) is inserted and fitted into the fitting recessed portion ( 6 ) from the side surface of the column ( 4 ).

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A structure for mounting a steering angle sensor for detecting a steering angle of a steering wheel, wherein 
 a fitting recessed portion is provided in a side surface of a column to which a steering-signal transmitting unit, a turn signal lever, and a wiper control switch lever are attached, and the steering angle sensor is inserted and fitted into the fitting recessed portion from the side surface of the column.    
     
     
         2 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a rotating disk linked to and integrally rotating with a rotating member of the steering-signal transmitting unit is provided on the column, and a subject detection portion formed in the rotating disk is inserted in a slit formed in a housing of the steering angle sensor.  
     
     
         3 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a rotating disk linked to and integrally rotating with a rotating member of the steering-signal transmitting unit is provided on a column, and a sensor portion projecting from a housing of the steering angle sensor is disposed on one of an upper side and a lower side of a subject detection portion formed in the rotating disk.  
     
     
         4 . A steering angle sensor mounting structure comprising: 
 a steering angle sensor for detecting a steering angle of a steering wheel;    a column to which a steering-signal transmitting unit is attached, the steering-signal transmitting unit including a rotating member rotating about an axis; and    a fitting recessed portion provided in a surface of the column through which the axis does not pass,    wherein the steering angle sensor is inserted and fitted into the fitting recessed portion, so that the steering angle sensor detects the steering angle through the rotating member.    
     
     
         5 . The steering angle sensor mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 the rotating member is provided with a rotating disk,    the steering angle sensor is provided with a slit, and    the rotating disk is inserted into the slit when the steering angle sensor is fitted to the column.    
     
     
         6 . The steering angle sensor mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 the rotating member is provided with a rotating disk,    the steering angle sensor is provided with a sensor portion projecting therefrom, and    the sensor portion is disposed on one of an upper side and a lower side of the rotating disk.    
     
     
         7 . The steering angle sensor mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 a turn signal lever and a wiper control switch lever are attached to surfaces of the column through which the axis does not pass, respectively.
