The present invention relates to a steering wheel which integrates a horn switch structure and a damper structure to secure space freedom inside the steering wheel, and improves horn operability by moving only an airbag cover without moving the entire airbag module during horn operation. According to the present invention, the steering wheel comprises: an airbag cover moving in a horn operation direction with respect to an airbag housing when a horn is operated; and a damper unit including a damper of an insulating material coupled to the airbag housing, a switch assembly coupled to the airbag housing in an insulating state via the damper and coupled to the steering wheel to be always energized, and a spring coupled to the airbag housing to be always energized and selectively energized with the switch assembly according to whether the switch assembly is in contact with the spring due to elastic deformation when the airbag cover moves in the horn operation direction.

    본 발명은 혼스위치 구조와 댐퍼 구조를 통합하여 스티어링휠 내부의 공간 자유도를 확보하는 한편, 혼 작동시 에어백모듈 전체가 움직이지 않고 에어백커버만 움직여 혼 작동성을 향상시키는 스티어링휠에 관한 것으로, 본 발명에서는, 혼 작동시, 에어백하우징에 대해 혼 작동방향으로 이동되는 에어백커버; 에어백하우징에 결합되는 절연재의 댐퍼와, 댐퍼를 매개로 에어백하우징에 절연상태로 결합되고 스티어링휠과 상시 통전되도록 결합되는 스위치조립체와, 에어백하우징과 상시 통전되도록 결합되고 에어백커버의 혼 작동방향 이동시 탄성 변형에 의한 스위치조립체와의 접촉 여부에 따라 스위치조립체와 선택적으로 통전되는 스프링으로 구성된 댐퍼유닛;을 포함하여 구성되는 스티어링휠이 소개된다.
