Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle gear shifters, specifically to a motor gear shifting electronic control device and gear shift box. Background Technology

[0002] The gear shifting mechanism in an electric vehicle is a key component of the transmission system, responsible for switching the gear set from one gear to another, thereby enabling the vehicle to drive smoothly under different speed and load conditions. The gear shifting mechanism typically works in conjunction with the drive shaft and gear set in the gearbox, and its main function is to drive the gears along the drive shaft through mechanical or electronic control devices to achieve gear switching.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN221145225U mentions that common electric vehicle gear shifters use a separate locking piece inside the gear shifter housing to connect the gear lever to the gear shifter. During use, the locking piece moves within the gear shifter. Currently, most electric tricycle gear shifting mechanisms on the market use a rigid shift fork structure, meaning the gear set is switched by manually shifting the fork. Although the aforementioned utility model improves the electric vehicle gear shifter by integrally molding the gear lever locking piece inside the front and rear covers, increasing the gear shifter's lifespan, its shifting is still based on manual mechanical shifting. Its response speed is based on the delay caused by human operation. When the gear set is not fully aligned, gear engagement failure or jamming can easily occur. This mechanical shifting may lead to a momentary loss of power, affecting the continuity of driving and thus reducing driving safety.

[0004] Therefore, how to control gear shifting more precisely while improving response speed is a problem faced in this field. Utility Model Content

The extended ends of the torsion spring on both sides are respectively located in the slots on both sides of the actuating piece.

[0013] Furthermore, the shift fork structure is slidably sleeved on the shift shaft, which is fixedly arranged in the horizontal direction along the gear set; the end of the shift fork structure away from the electronic control drive module is provided with a bifurcated end with an annular profile, the shape of the bifurcated end matches the curvature of the gear sleeve provided on the gear set, and the bifurcated end is used to embed into the groove of the gear sleeve to drive the gear sleeve to move horizontally along the shift shaft.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] This utility model embodiment proposes a motor shifting electronic control device, including an electronic control drive module 1, a shift fork structure 2, and a switch module; the electronic control drive module 1 is connected to the shift fork structure 2 and drives the shift fork structure 2 to perform shifting operations; the shift fork structure 2 is used to drive the gear set 3 to switch gears; the switch module obtains the shifting command input by the user and outputs the shifting signal to the electronic control drive module 1.

[0024] The circuit diagram of the switching module of this utility model embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, in order to realize the switching of the three gears of the motor, the three-gear shift switch SK2 is used in this embodiment, and the electric control drive interface 4 used in this embodiment includes nine input interfaces numbered 1-9 to realize the functions of motor gear switching control signal input, status display, and drive current input.

[0025] Furthermore, a 12V DC power supply is output via power switch K to one end of the coil and one normally open end of relays D2 and D3, respectively. The other end X of the relay D2 coil is connected to the three contacts of shift switch SK2 as input terminals, and the other end Y of the relay D3 coil is connected to the three contacts of shift switch SK2 as input terminals. The normally closed end of relay D2 is grounded, and its common end is connected to interface 5 of the electronic control drive interface 4; the normally closed end of relay D3 is grounded, and its common end is connected to interface 6 of the electronic control drive interface. The output contacts of shift switch SK2 are connected to interfaces 4, 7, and 9 of the electronic control drive interface 4, and are used for inputting control signals. The electronic control drive module 1 drives the motor to switch between different gears according to the control signals received from different interfaces. The specific connection method is shown below:

[0026] First gear: Contacts X-4 and X-9 are connected to trigger relay D2. Interface 5 of the electronic control drive interface 4 receives the drive signal and controls the electronic control drive module 1 to enter the first gear state.

[0027] Second gear: Contacts Y-9 and Y-7 are connected to trigger relay D3. Interface 6 of the electronic control drive interface 4 receives the drive signal and controls the electronic control drive module 1 to enter the second gear state.

[0028] Third gear: Contacts Y-7 and X-4 are connected, simultaneously triggering relays D2 and D3. Interfaces 5 and 6 of the electronic control drive interface 4 receive the drive signal, controlling the electronic control drive module 1 to enter the third gear state.

[0029] The 12V DC power input signal is transmitted through a relay coil and shift switch SK2 to output a low-power signal as a control signal (the coil has high resistance, resulting in a small operating current). Meanwhile, the normally open contacts of the relay directly output a high-power drive signal. This isolation design, separating the drive and control signals, ensures both the accuracy of the control logic and the safe transmission of high-current drive current. Furthermore, interfaces 1, 3, and 8 of the electronic drive interface are each connected to a status indicator light for displaying the status of the three gear positions; interface 2 of the electronic drive interface 4 is grounded. Through the coordinated control of the switch module and the electronic drive module 1, manual mechanical shifting is replaced by electrical signal drive, reducing delays caused by manual operation and improving shift response speed.

[0030] The structural diagram of the electronically controlled drive module of this utility model embodiment is shown below. Figure 2As shown, the device includes a housing 5, a drive mechanism 6, and a control unit. A mounting post 7 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A rotatable actuating plate 8 is fitted onto the mounting post 7, and the actuating plate 8 is positioned close to one side of the housing 1. A torsion spring 9 is also fitted onto the mounting post 7, and the extended ends 10 on both sides of the torsion spring 9 abut against both sides of the shift fork structure 2. The drive mechanism 6 and the control unit are located inside the housing 1 and are used to drive the actuating plate to deflect around the mounting post 7 according to a control signal. The control unit is used to receive the control signal and control the drive mechanism 6. Further, an actuating piece 11 is provided at the end of the actuating plate 8 away from the mounting post 7. Slots are formed on both sides of the actuating piece 11, and the extended ends 10 on both sides of the torsion spring 9 are respectively located within the slots on both sides of the actuating piece 11.

[0031] The internal structure diagram of the electronically controlled drive module in this embodiment of the utility model is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 is connected to the drive shaft 13 through the transmission gear set 12. The drive shaft 13 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and a turntable 14 is sleeved on it. An actuating post 15 is eccentrically sleeved on the turntable 14. The actuating plate 8 is provided with a guide groove 16 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the actuating post 15. The actuating post 15 is slidably connected to the guide groove 16. The length of the guide groove 16 is equal to the diameter of the actuating post 15 rotating eccentrically around the center of the turntable 14.

[0032] The structural diagram of the motor shifting electronic control device of this utility model embodiment is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the shift fork structure 2 is slidably sleeved on the shift shaft 17, which is fixedly set along the horizontal direction of the gear set 3. The end of the shift fork structure 2 away from the housing 5 is provided with a forked end 18 with an annular profile. The shape of the forked end 18 matches the curvature of the gear sleeve 19 provided on the gear set 3 and is used to embed into the groove of the gear sleeve 19 to drive the gear sleeve 19 to move horizontally along the shift shaft 17.

[0033] A schematic diagram of the rotation of the toggle plate in this embodiment of the utility model is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when the electronically controlled drive module 1 performs a gear shifting operation, the drive mechanism 6 drives the transmission shaft 13 and its turntable 14 to rotate. The shifting column 15 rotates eccentrically clockwise or counterclockwise around the center of the turntable 14, causing the shifting plate 8 to deflect around the mounting column. The shifting plate 8 drives the torsion spring 9 to rotate, and the extension end 10 of the torsion spring 9 pushes the shift fork structure 2 to slide horizontally along the shift shaft 17, thereby causing the gear sleeve 19 to move horizontally and controlling the meshing of different gears in the gear set 3, thus realizing the switching of different gears. By driving the shift fork structure 2 to slide through the electronically controlled drive module 1, precise gear shifting is achieved, avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by gear misalignment, and improving the shifting response speed and the continuity of power transmission.

[0034] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a gear shift box is also provided, which includes the above-mentioned motor gear shifting electronic control device.
