Abstract

According to the present embodiments, it is possible to provide a vehicle steering device including a lower column receiving an upper column and having a pair of distance brackets, an adjust bolt coupled to pass through the distance brackets, a fixed cam penetrated by the adjust bolt and slidably coupled to a plate bracket, a sleeve coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the adjust bolt and including includes a plurality of protrusions protruding radially from an outer surface thereof, and a lever assembly including a movable cam coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the sleeve and engaged with the fixed cam and a lever coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the sleeve, thereby reducing impact to the driver and preventing an abnormal operation of the airbag during vehicle collision.

Claims (13)

1 . A vehicle steering device, comprising:

a lower column receiving an upper column and having a pair of distance brackets;

an adjust bolt coupled to pass through the distance brackets;

a fixed cam penetrated by the adjust bolt and slidably coupled to a plate bracket;

a sleeve coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the adjust bolt; and

a lever assembly including a movable cam coupled to an outer surface of the sleeve and engaged with the fixed cam and a lever coupled to the outer surface of the sleeve

wherein the sleeve includes a plurality of protrusions protruding radially from the outer surface thereof, and the plurality of protrusions include a first protrusion supported on an inner surface of the movable cam and a second protrusion supported on an inner surface of the lever.

2 . The vehicle steering device of claim 1 , wherein the adjust bolt includes a large-diameter portion to which the sleeve is coupled and a small-diameter portion penetratingly coupled to the pair of distance brackets.

3 . The vehicle steering device of claim 2 , wherein the large-diameter portion of the adjust bolt has an outer surface having a positioning device curvature so that the outer surface of the large-diameter portion is not supported in a circumferential direction by the movable cam and the lever.

4 . The vehicle steering device of claim 1 , wherein the movable cam and the lever are coupled to the outer surface of the sleeve in a press-fit manner.

5 . The vehicle steering device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first protrusions are provided to be spaced apart in a circumferential direction.

6 . The vehicle steering device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second protrusions are provided to be spaced apart in a circumferential direction.

7 . The vehicle steering device of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve includes a cutoff formed in a longitudinal direction from one end to another end by being cut through an inner surface and the outer surface of the sleeve.
