Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing in the automotive industry, electronic shifters have become the main force in the market. The realization and conversion of each gear of the electronic shifter mainly depends on the structure and function of the gear signal structural components.

[0003] When the driver operates the shift lever to shift gears, the shift lever drives the gear signal structure to trigger and convert each gear signal. The gear signal structure drives the change of the Hall magnet according to different positions to trigger the corresponding gear, and outputs the position signal corresponding to each gear through CAN communication changes. The realization of each gear signal of the electronic shifter mainly comes from the gear signal structure. To ensure the accuracy of the signal, the gear signal structure is not allowed to be unstable, the gear shift is stuck, and the structural reliability fails during the shift process. If the above phenomenon occurs, the whole vehicle will be unable to drive.

[0032] In order to better understand the present invention, the content of the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the embodiments, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Implementation

[0033] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a vehicle gear position signal structure, which includes a circuit board 8, a rotating bracket 9, a slider 10, a sliding magnet, a fixed bracket 11 and a rotating magnet 12.

[0034] A rotating Hall sensor and a switch Hall sensor are provided on the circuit board 8. The rotating Hall sensor cooperates with the rotating magnet 12. When the rotating magnet 12 rotates, the rotating Hall sensor can sense the magnetic field deflection, thereby outputting a gear position signal. The switch Hall sensor is used to detect the position of the sliding magnet, thereby controlling the circuit board 8 to remain in the automatic gear circuit.

[0035] See also Figure 3 and Figure 1 , ears 113 are provided on both sides of the fixing bracket 11, and threaded holes are provided on the ears 113. The fixing bracket 11 is installed on the outer side of the circuit board 8 by self-tapping screws passing through the threaded holes of the ears. Two vertical slide rails 111 are provided at the upper end of the outer side surface of the fixing bracket 11, and a magnet mounting hole 112 is provided at the lower end of the outer side surface.

[0036] See also Figure 4 and Figure 1 The upper side of the slider 10 is provided with a limited slide groove 101, which is a through groove with a circular cross section and a width of the through groove opening smaller than the radius of the circle. A square through hole 104 is provided at the center of the slider 10, and the square through hole 104 is used to embed the sliding magnet. Elastic cantilevers 102 are provided on both sides of the slider 10, and the upper end of the elastic cantilever 102 is connected to the slider body, and the lower end is a free end. The elastic cantilever 102 is integrally injection molded with the slider body. Sliding legs 103 are provided below the elastic cantilever 102, and the sliding legs 103 are formed by protruding outwards from both sides of the slider. The slider 10 can be slidably inserted on the two vertical slide rails 111 of the fixed bracket 11 through the elastic cantilever 102 and the sliding legs 103. The elastic cantilever 102 is in pre-pressed contact with the vertical slide rails 111, so as to maintain the stability of the slider 10 during the sliding process and effectively suppress the noise generated by the sliding.

[0037] See also Figure 5 and Figure 1 The left side of the lower end of the rotating magnet 12 is provided with a first cylindrical protrusion 122, and the right side of the upper end of the rotating magnet 12 is provided with a second cylindrical protrusion 122. The rotating magnet 12 is rotatably arranged in the magnet mounting hole 112 of the fixed bracket 11 through the first cylindrical protrusion 122.

[0038] See also Figure 6 and Figure 2The rotating bracket 9 is in a herringbone shape, and a ball head structure 93 is provided at the head of the herringbone shape. A clamping arm 91 is provided on one side of the herringbone shape, and a clamping arm 91 is provided with a clamping groove 911; the other side is provided with a clamping arm 92, and a cylindrical protrusion 921 is provided at the bottom end of the two clamping arms 92. The two cylindrical protrusions 921 are opposite to each other and are formed by the inner side surfaces of the two clamping arms 92 protruding outward. The rotating bracket 9 can be rotatably clamped on the second cylindrical protrusion 121 of the rotating magnet 12 through its clamping groove 911, and the two cylindrical protrusions 921 of the clamping arm 92 can be rotatably inserted into the two round holes of the boss at the lower end of the shift lever 1, and the ball head structure 93 of the rotating bracket 9 can be slidably inserted into the limited sliding groove 101 of the slider 10.

[0039] When the driver shifts gears in the forward and backward directions, he shakes the shift lever 1 forward and backward, and the shift lever 1 drives the ball head 93 of the rotating bracket 9 to slide left and right in the limiting slide groove of the slider 10. At the same time, the slider 10 slides up and down in the two slide rails 111 of the fixed bracket 11, so that the clamping arm 91 of the rotating bracket 9 moves the rotating magnet 12, and the rotating magnet 12 rotates around the axis of the magnet mounting hole 1121. The shift lever switches between the +, M, and - manual gears, and the rotating Hall sensor senses the magnetic field deflection and outputs a gear position signal.

[0040] When the driver switches to the automatic gear, he shakes the shift lever back and forth, and the shift lever drives the rotating bracket 9 to swing back and forth. A rotating Hall sensor is provided on the circuit board 8, and the rotating Hall sensor can sense the deflection of the magnetic field, thereby outputting a gear signal to switch the shift lever among the R, N, P, and D gears; when the driver switches to the manual mode to the right perpendicular to the front and rear directions, the rotating bracket 9 drives the slider 10 to slide up and down in the two slide rails 111 of the fixed bracket 11, and the switch Hall sensor senses the sliding magnet, thereby keeping the control circuit board 8 on the manual gear circuit, so that the shift lever switches among the -, M, and + gears.

[0041] The present invention only needs to operate the shift lever, and the shift lever and the rotating bracket 9 can realize the rotation of the rotating magnet 12 and the sliding of the slider 10, thereby realizing the free switching of the manual gear and the automatic gear. The elastic cantilever buckle design on both sides of the slider of the present invention can effectively reduce the noise generated by the vibration impact caused by the rapid shifting. Compared with the tolerance clearance matching in the traditional assembly structure, it reduces the manufacturing difficulty and avoids sliding jamming, thereby ensuring the normal function of the product.

The top and middle part of the spherical inner wall 21 are connected to the circular outer wall 22 through a connecting rib 23. There are a number of lower openings evenly arranged below the center of the spherical inner wall 21, and the lower openings can cause the spherical inner wall 21 to deform. The top of the circular outer wall 22 is connected through a circular ring portion, and the outer circumference of the circular ring portion protrudes radially outward to form a blocking portion 222.

[0047] See also Fig.10 The shift pin 4 is in the shape of a stepped cylinder with a large center and small ends. The outer diameter of the middle large diameter cylindrical portion 41 is adapted to the large diameter circular hole of the stepped blind hole of the shift lever 1. The surface of the large diameter cylindrical portion 41 is provided with a plurality of elastic sheets 411. The outer side of the elastic sheet 411 is provided with an extrusion protrusion.

The deformable claw portion 43 is formed between the two side openings.

[0048] The shift spring 5 is a cylindrical helical spring.

[0049] See also Figure 8The ball cage bushing 2 is sleeved on the spherical protrusion of the shift lever 1 by opening the lower opening of the lower end of its spherical inner wall 21, and the lower opening of the outer wall of the ball cage bushing 2 is tightened to hold the spherical protrusion of the shift lever 1. The blocking portion 222 of the ball cage bushing 2 is stopped at the top of the upper shell 3, and the two positioning buckles 25 of the ball cage bushing 2 are engaged in the two bayonet holes of the upper shell 3 to limit the axial position of the ball cage bushing. The upper elastic buckle 26 and the lower elastic buckle 24 of the ball cage bushing 2 are tightly abutted against the inner side wall of the upper opening of the upper shell; the positioning columns at both ends of the spherical protrusion of the shift lever 1 pass through the ball cage bushing 2 and are inserted into the positioning groove of the upper shell 3; the spherical structure 42 of the head of the shift pin 4 slides with the shift tooth shape on the bottom surface of the tooth groove 7. The shift spring 5 is sleeved on the small diameter cylindrical part at the tail of the shift pin 4. The shift pin 4 and the shift spring 5 are installed in the shift lever 1. The three deformable claws 43 at the tail of the shift pin 4 extend into the small diameter circular hole of the stepped blind hole of the shift lever 1. The elastic sheet 411 on the outer wall of the shift pin tightly abuts against the inner wall of the large diameter circular hole of the stepped blind hole of the shift lever 1; the upper end of the shift spring 5 abuts against the shoulder of the medium diameter circular hole of the shift lever 1, and the lower end thereof abuts against the shift pin 4.

[0050] When the driver shifts gears, he shakes the shift lever 1, and the upper shell 3 squeezes the upper elastic buckle 26 of the ball cage bushing 2, which deforms and squeezes the lower elastic buckle 24 of the ball cage bushing 2. The lower elastic buckle 24 transmits the squeezing force to the spherical inner wall 21 through the connecting rib 23, so that the lower opening at the lower end of the spherical inner wall 21 tightens and hugs the spherical protrusion of the shift lever 1. The design of the deformable ball cage bushing can effectively reduce the free gap between the upper shell 3 and the shift lever 1, effectively avoiding the signal triggering anomaly caused by the gap and the noise caused by the movement of the mechanism, improving the smoothness of the shift, and thus obtaining good operating comfort. The core rotating mechanism of the shift lever 1 adopts a cross-axis universal joint structure, so that the shift lever 1 cannot produce self-rotation during the shaking process, ensuring the stability of the mechanism and improving the comfort of the shift operation.

[0051] The deformable elastic sheet design of the shift pin can effectively reduce the assembly gap and friction between the shift pin and the shift lever, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle's gear shifting; the spherical structure design of the shift pin head allows the shift pin to contact the spherical surface of the toothed groove, effectively reducing the jumpiness of the gear shifting process, reducing the noise generated during the gear shifting process, and ensuring gear shifting comfort.

[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
