The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034389A1) describes a quick-disassembly assembly for a steering wheel and a steering column. The assembly includes a steering wheel shaft, a connecting block, a guide slot, and a positioning block. When the steering wheel shaft is positioned in the guide slot with the positioning block, the steering wheel is connected to the steering column. Conversely, when the steering wheel shaft slides out from the guide slot, the steering wheel is separated from the steering column.

Additionally, the assembly features a sliding slot on the steering column, a sliding block on the connecting block, and a locking portion below the positioning block. The interaction of these components allows for easy disassembly and reassembly of the steering wheel from the steering column. Furthermore, the inclusion of a spring mechanism ensures proper alignment and movement of the steering wheel shaft during the disassembly process. The design also incorporates guide slots, guide slopes, and lock hooks to facilitate the smooth operation of separating and connecting the steering wheel to the steering column.
