Abstract
The disclosure relates to the technical field of steering columns, and specifically discloses a telescopic multifunctional steering column. An upper column is fixedly mounted inside a steering wheel. An outer surface of the upper column is sleeved with a lower column. In the disclosure, slidable connection is realized through a spline groove and a spline shaft, so that the steering column can extend and retract, which ensures stability and sliding smoothness of the column during the extension and retraction process. By connecting a pull bolt with a locking switch of a lifting rod through a wire rope, when the pull bolt is pulled up, a driver can adjust a length of the column according to his own needs, which improves driving flexibility and comfort. When the pull bolt retracts, the steering column is locked at a selected position.
