Height-adjustable automobile gear lever and height adjusting method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a height-adjustable automobile gear lever and a height adjusting method thereof. A shifting handle is connected with the gear lever; the gear lever is divided into an upper connecting rod and a lower connecting rod which are connected with each other; the shifting handle is connected with the upper connecting rod; long slots along the length direction are arranged on the upper connecting rod; a plurality of connecting holes along the length direction are arranged on the lower connecting rod; and a plurality of fasteners pass through the long slots and the connecting holes so as to detachably connect the upper connecting rod with the lower connecting rod. The height of the shifting handle in the height-adjustable automobile gear lever is adjustable; the shifting handle can be ascended or descended to a wanted position by different people according to the individual condition; the research and development costs for changing a seat or other structures in order to change a relative position of a driver and the shifting handle are greatly reduced; the structure of the gear lever is simple; the gear lever is easily produced; the height of the shifting handle is conveniently adjusted; and the conventional integrated gear lever is divided into upper and lower rods, so that the parts are conveniently exchanged and the generality is strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of automobiles, and relates to an automobile shift control device. More specifically, the invention relates to a variable-height automobile shift lever and a height adjustment method thereof. Background technique [0002] The shift mechanism in the car usually follows the principles of ergonomics. According to driving habits, the shift lever is generally arranged in front of the driver's right. Usually, the shift lever of a car is a non-adjustable integral structure. This structure may have the following problems: First, due to the differences in height and arm length of different drivers, a fixed-height shift lever may not be able to meet the requirements of different groups of people. demand, even by adjusting the front and rear positions of the seat, the ideal height requirement cannot be achieved; secondly, the easy completion of the shift process is of great significance to driving safety, and a shift lever in a ...

Problems solved by technology

Usually, the shift lever of a car is a non-adjustable integral structure. This structure may have the following problems: First, due to the differences in height and arm length of different drivers, a fixed-height shift lever may not be able to meet the requirements of different groups of people. demand, even by adjusting the front and rear positions of the seat, the ideal height requirement cannot be achieved; secondly, the easy completion of the shift process is of great significance to driving safety, and a shift lever in a suitable position is not likely to cause driver fatigue The driver can concentrate on the surrounding road conditions; again, the seat can only be adjusted forward and backward or at an angle. If a height-adjustable seat is designed to make up for the lack of changeable height of the shift lever, on the one hand, the design cost Relatively high, on the other hand, the driver's field of vision, leg position, etc. will also be affected
