Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts and assembly, and in particular to an automobile shift knob and an assembly device and process thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the gradual improvement of people's living standards, the popularity of automobiles has also increased. During driving, the gears of the transmission are switched to match the gears with the vehicle speed. Therefore, shifting gears is one of the main operating steps of a car. The driver switches gears by operating the shift lever. To improve the driver's convenience, the shift lever is equipped with a shift knob on the top. As a key component of driving operation, the shift knob's reliability is of paramount importance.

[0003] The design of a car's gear shift knob needs to take into account high standards such as shifting function, shifting comfort, and exquisite appearance. The relevant car's gear shift knob is usually composed of multiple parts, and the connection relationship between the parts is complex, making assembly difficult. It requires multiple operators and semi-automatic equipment to complete the task, which reduces the production and assembly efficiency of the car's gear shift knob. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the difficulty of assembling a car shift knob and improve the efficiency of assembling a car shift knob, the present application provides a car shift knob and an assembly device and process thereof.

[0005] The present application provides a car gear shift knob, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A car shift hand ball, comprising a ball head inner core, an inner button component, an elastic component, a fixing part and a sliding sleeve;

[0007] The inner button assembly is embedded in the inner core of the ball head and can be fixed to the inner core of the ball head by the fixing member;

[0008] The inner core of the ball head is provided with an accommodating cavity, the sliding sleeve is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and a trigger section is extended from one end of the inner button assembly, the trigger section extends into the accommodating cavity and abuts against the top of the sliding sleeve;

[0009] The elastic component includes a first elastic member and a second elastic member. The first elastic member is wound around the outer side wall of the ball head inner core, and the second elastic member is embedded between the end of the inner layer button component away from the trigger section and the ball head inner core.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the inner button assembly swings, the trigger section can swing just onto the sliding sleeve, and by pressing down the sliding sleeve, the inner rod of the shift lever can be pushed to complete the shift operation. The overall structure of the automobile shift knob is simple, and the connection method between the various parts is simple, making the whole easy to assemble, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the automobile shift knob. Among them, the first elastic member is located at the end of the shift knob close to the mounting frame, which increases the pull-out resistance of the shift knob and makes the shift knob less likely to be pulled out; the second elastic member fills the gap between the inner core of the ball head and the sliding sleeve, reducing the possibility of the inner button assembly and the inner rod of the shift lever colliding during the shift vibration, improving the operator's feel when shifting, and reducing the possibility of noise when the automobile shift knob shifts.

[0011] Optionally, a mounting hole is formed at one end of the inner button assembly away from the second elastic member, and a buffer pad is passed through the mounting hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the inner button assembly swings, the harder part of the inner core of the ball head will hit the buffer pad at the end of the inner button assembly, thereby absorbing the abnormal noise and vibration caused by the collision through the buffer pad, reducing the noise caused by shifting, and making the handball smoother and more comfortable during the gear shifting and unlocking process.

[0013] Furthermore, the present application also provides an automobile shift hand ball assembly device, which includes a moving mechanism, a first elastic member mounting mechanism, an inner button assembly mounting mechanism, a fixing member mounting mechanism, a sliding sleeve mounting mechanism, and an oil injection mechanism;

[0014] The moving mechanism includes a guide rail and a mounting block, and the mounting block is slidably arranged on the guide rail;

[0015] The first elastic member installation mechanism, the inner layer button assembly installation mechanism, the fixing member installation mechanism, the sliding sleeve installation mechanism and the oil injection mechanism are all arranged around the guide rail.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting block moves on the guide rail, the mounting mechanisms located on both sides and the end of the guide rail can assemble the inner core of the ball head on the mounting block, and complete the assembly of the first elastic part, oiling and sliding sleeve, inner button assembly and fixing parts in sequence. The entire assembly work is completed around the moving mechanism, which takes up little space; compared with traditional manual assembly, the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0017] Optionally, the automobile shift hand ball assembly device further comprises a locking mechanism for fixing the inner core of the ball head, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a clamping cylinder and a locking plate;

[0018] The clamping cylinder is embedded in the middle of the mounting block, and the locking plate is arranged at one end of the mounting block and fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder.

[0019] By employing this technical solution, the clamping cylinder can drive the locking plate toward or away from the mounting block. When the locking plate approaches the mounting block, one end of the ball head core is locked in place by the locking plate; when the locking plate moves away from the mounting block, the ball head core is released. This locking mechanism secures the ball head core, providing greater stability during assembly, ensuring that all components are accurately positioned during shift knob assembly and minimizing the possibility of misassembly.

[0020] Optionally, the automobile shift hand ball assembly device also includes a detection mechanism, which includes several sensors for detecting the first elastic part, the sliding sleeve, the inner button assembly, the fixing part and the second elastic part respectively, and a display capable of receiving signals sensed by several of the sensors.

[0021] By adopting this technical solution, several sensors are installed near the corresponding installation mechanisms. When the installation mechanisms complete the assembly of the ball head inner core, the sensors can detect whether each component is successfully assembled in the corresponding position of the ball head inner core. At the same time, the sensor detection signal is transmitted to the display. If the detection is correct, the assembly sequence is automatically carried out. If there is any missing or incorrect assembly, the display will indicate the problematic workstation, and the indicator light will flash as an alarm, causing the entire system to stop.

[0022] Optionally, the first elastic member installation mechanism includes a first feeding member capable of transporting the first elastic member, a stopper, and a downward driving assembly, wherein the stopper is fixedly connected to the first feeding member and can limit the first feeding member;

[0023] The downward pressing driving assembly is arranged above the stopper, and the downward pressing driving assembly includes a first downward pressing driving member and a pushing member, and the pushing member is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first downward pressing driving member;

[0024] A vertical strip groove for the pushing member to pass through is provided on the side of the stop block away from the first feeding member in the vertical direction, and a horizontal strip groove is provided on the side of the stop block close to the first feeding member, and the vertical strip groove is connected to the horizontal strip groove; the end of the first feeding member is embedded between the top wall and the bottom wall of the horizontal strip groove.

[0025] By adopting this technical solution, when the mounting block moves to the first elastic member mounting mechanism, the end of the first feed member is located in the horizontal strip groove of the stopper. Because the horizontal strip groove is connected to the vertical strip groove, the first elastic member on the first feed member can enter the vertical strip groove through the horizontal strip groove. At the same time, driven by the first downward driving member, the pusher can be inserted into the vertical strip groove of the stopper, pressing the first elastic member located in the vertical strip groove onto the inner core of the ball head. The entire process is completed automatically by the machine, improving the production and assembly efficiency of the automotive gear shift knob.

[0026] Optionally, the oil filling mechanism includes a first horizontal driving member, an oil filling valve and an oil filling pipe, and the oil filling pipe is connected to the end of the oil filling valve;

[0027] The oil filling valve is arranged above the first horizontal driving member and can move toward the guide rail under the drive of the first horizontal driving member.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting block moves to the sleeve mounting mechanism, under the drive of the first horizontal driving member, the oil filling valve and the oil filling pipe move as a whole toward the mounting block, and the oil filling valve fills oil to the side wall of the ball head inner core accommodating cavity through the oil filling pipe to reduce the resistance when shifting gears and improve the service life of the gear shift inner rod.

[0029] Optionally, the sliding sleeve mounting mechanism includes a second feeding member and a second horizontal driving member, and the second horizontal driving member is connected to one end of the second feeding member and can drive the second feeding member to move.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting block moves to the sleeve mounting mechanism, the sleeve is placed at the end of the second feeding member away from the second horizontal driving member. Under the drive of the second horizontal driving member, the second feeding member moves the sleeve into the accommodating cavity of the ball head inner core. The entire process is automatically completed by the machine, thereby improving the production and assembly efficiency of the automobile gear shift hand ball.

[0031] Optionally, the inner button mounting mechanism includes a mounting plate, a second push-down driving member and a clamping assembly, and one end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second push-down driving member;

[0032] The clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder, a first clamping piece and a second clamping piece, the clamping cylinder and the first clamping piece are fixed on the mounting plate, and the end of the second clamping piece is connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder;

[0033] The second clamping piece is arranged opposite to the first clamping piece and can be moved closer to or away from the first clamping piece under the drive of the clamping cylinder.

[0034] With this technical solution, when the mounting block moves to the inner button mounting mechanism, the clamping cylinder drives the second clamping plate toward the first clamping plate, clamping the inner button assembly. Driven by the second downward-actuating member, the mounting plate as a whole moves downward, thus mounting the inner button assembly onto the ball head core on the mounting block. This entire process is automated, improving the production and assembly efficiency of automotive shift knobs.

[0035] Optionally, the fixing member installation mechanism includes a vibrating screen, a third feeding member, a third horizontal driving member and a feeding driving member;

[0036] The third feeding member is embedded in one end of the vibrating screen, the output end of the third horizontal driving member is connected to the end of the third feeding member, and the feed driving member is arranged at the other end of the vibrating screen and can drive the fixing member to move toward the third feeding member;

[0037] A feed trough for movement of the fixing member is provided on the upper surface of the vibrating screen; the feed trough is communicated with the interior of the third feeding member.

[0038] By adopting this technical solution, when the mounting block moves near the fixture mounting mechanism, the fixture is placed in the chute on the vibrating screen. Driven by the feed drive, the fixture follows the chute into the third feeder. Driven by the third horizontal drive, the fixture is then inserted from the third feeder into the connection between the ball head inner core and the inner button assembly on the mounting block. The entire process is completed automatically by the machine, improving the production and assembly efficiency of automotive shift knobs.

[0039] On the other hand, the present application also provides a process for assembling a car shift knob, wherein the process uses the above-mentioned car shift knob assembly device to assemble the above-mentioned car shift knob, and the process comprises the following steps:

[0040] S1: The mounting block moves to the vicinity of the first elastic member mounting mechanism to complete the assembly and testing of the first elastic member;

[0041] S2: The mounting block moves to the vicinity of the oil filling mechanism. After the oil filling inside the ball head core is completed, the equipment stops moving.

[0042] S3: Place the second elastic member into the inner core of the ball head;

[0043] S4: The mounting block moves to one end of the guide rail close to the sleeve mounting mechanism, and the second elastic member is inspected and the sleeve is assembled and inspected in sequence;

[0044] S5: Apply oil to the end of the inner button assembly, and complete the assembly and inspection of the inner button assembly and the fixing parts in sequence.

[0045] By adopting this technical solution, the entire assembly device sequentially completes the assembly and testing of the first elastic member, oiling, and assembly and testing of the second elastic member, the sliding sleeve, the inner button assembly, and the fixing member. Only one operator is required to operate the control component to control the entire assembly process, simplifying the control method and reducing production and processing costs. The related detection components reduce the possibility of incorrect assembly or missing assembly, thereby improving the production and assembly efficiency of automobile shift knobs.

[0046] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0047] 1. The various parts of the shift knob in this application are mostly connected in an embedded manner, and the connection relationship is simple, which reduces the difficulty of producing and assembling the automobile shift knob, thereby improving the production and assembly efficiency of the automobile shift knob.

[0048] 2. The first elastic member can increase the anti-pullout force of the shift hand ball, making the shift hand ball not easily pulled out; the second elastic member fills the gap between the inner core of the ball head and the sliding sleeve, reducing the possibility of collision between the inner button assembly and the inner rod of the shift lever during gear shifting vibration, improving the operator's feel when shifting gears, and reducing the possibility of noise when the car shift hand ball shifts gears; the buffer pad absorbs abnormal noise and vibration caused by collision, reduces the noise during gear shifting, and makes the hand ball smoother and more comfortable during the gear shifting and unlocking process.

[0049] 3. The shift hand ball assembly device in this application can complete the assembly of the first elastic part, oiling and sliding sleeve, inner button assembly and fixing parts in sequence. The entire assembly work is completed around the moving mechanism and occupies a small space. Compared with traditional pure manual assembly, the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0050] 4. Sensors detect whether each component is successfully assembled in its corresponding position within the ball head core. If no problems are detected, assembly proceeds automatically according to the correct sequence. If any components are missing or incorrectly assembled, the display indicates the problematic workstation, and an indicator light flashes to sound an alarm, causing the entire assembly to stop. This reduces the possibility of incorrect or missing components.

[0051] 5. During actual production and assembly, only one operator is required to control the control components to achieve control of the entire assembly process. The control method is simple and reduces production and processing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0068] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application discloses a car shift hand ball, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a handball body 1, which includes a ball head inner core 11, an inner layer button assembly 12, a sliding sleeve 13, an elastic assembly 14, a fixing member 15 and a button key 16. The inner layer button assembly 12 is embedded in the ball head inner core 11 and is fixedly connected to the ball head inner core 11 through the fixing member 15. The button key 16 is arranged on the outside of the ball head inner core 11 near the inner layer button assembly 12. The button key 16 is detachably connected to the inner layer button assembly 12. The sliding sleeve 13 is embedded in the ball head inner core 11 and abuts against the inner layer button assembly 12; the elastic assembly 14 includes a first elastic member 141 and a second elastic member 142. The first elastic member 141 is arranged on the outer side wall of the ball head inner core 11, and the second elastic member 142 is embedded between the ball head inner core 11 and one end of the inner layer button assembly 12.

[0070] refer to Figure 2 The ball head inner core 11 defines an accommodating cavity 111. The sliding sleeve 13 is embedded within this cavity 111, and its bottom portion is capable of connecting with the inner rod of the shift lever to enable the shifting process. A trigger segment 121 extends from the end of the inner button assembly 12, away from the second elastic member 142. This trigger segment 121 extends into the accommodating cavity 111 and abuts the top of the sliding sleeve 13. When the trigger button 16 causes the inner button assembly 12 to swing, the trigger segment 121 swings onto the sliding sleeve 13. Pressing the sliding sleeve 13 downward pushes the inner rod of the shift lever, thereby depressing the inner rod of the shift lever.

[0071] refer to Figure 2 The first elastic member 141 is a U-shaped spring bar, which is embedded in the outer wall of the ball head inner core 11 to increase the pull-out resistance of the shift handle ball, making it difficult for the shift handle ball to be pulled out. The second elastic member 142 is a spring sheet, which is embedded between the ball head inner core 11 and the end of the inner button assembly 12 to fill the gap between the inner button assembly 12 and the sliding sleeve 13, thereby reducing the possibility of the inner button assembly 12 colliding with the inner rod of the shift lever during gear shift vibration. The end of the inner button assembly 12 away from the second elastic member 142 is provided with a mounting hole 122, and a buffer pad 17 is inserted into the mounting hole 122 to reduce noise during gear shifting. The fixing member 15 in this embodiment is a pin, and the end of the inner button assembly 12 close to the second elastic member 142 is fixedly connected to the ball head inner core 11 through a pin.

[0072] The working principle of a car shift hand ball in an embodiment of the present application is: when shifting gears, pressing the button key 16 causes the inner button assembly 12 to swing and press down the sliding sleeve 13, further pushing the inner rod of the shift lever to realize the downward pressing action of the shift lever.

The oil filling valve 52 is disposed above the first horizontal driving member 51. Preferably, the first horizontal driving member 51 is a pneumatic cylinder; in other embodiments, a motor may also be used as the driving member. The end of the oil filling pipe 53 is connected to the oil filling valve 52. During actual assembly, the first horizontal driving member 51 can drive the oil filling valve 52 and the oil filling pipe 53 toward the mounting block 22 to fill the interior of the ball head inner core 11 with oil.

Preferably, the second horizontal driving member 62 in this embodiment is also a cylinder. The output end of the second horizontal driving member 62 is connected to the end of the second feeding member 61 and can drive the second feeding member 61 to move. A placement groove 611 is provided at one end of the second feeding member 61 away from the second horizontal driving member 62. Figure 2 and Figure 6 During actual assembly, the sliding sleeve 13 is located in the placement groove 611 and the assembly is completed under the drive of the second horizontal driving member 62.

[0082] refer to Figure 7 The mounting mechanism of the inner button assembly 12 includes a mounting plate 71, a second downward-pressing driving member 72 and a clamping assembly 73. Preferably, the second downward-pressing driving member 72 is also a cylinder. One end of the mounting plate 71 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, and the clamping assembly 73 is arranged at the other end of the mounting plate 71. The clamping assembly 73 includes a clamping cylinder 731, a first clamping piece 732 and a second clamping piece 733. The clamping cylinder 731 and the first clamping piece 732 are both fixed on the mounting plate 71 and the first clamping piece 732 is arranged below the clamping cylinder 731. The second clamping piece 733 is arranged between the output end of the clamping cylinder 731 and the first clamping piece 732, and the second clamping piece 733 is arranged opposite to the first clamping piece 732. The second clamping piece 733 has two parallel bosses 7331 on the side close to the output end of the clamping cylinder 731, and the output end of the second clamping cylinder 731 is fixedly connected to the bosses 7331 by screws; the second clamping piece 733 is rotatably connected to the first clamping piece 732 on the side away from the output end of the clamping cylinder 731 through a rotating shaft.

[0083] During actual assembly, the inner button assembly 12 is placed between the first clamping piece 732 and the second clamping piece 733. The clamping cylinder 731 presses down to drive the output end to move downward and exerts a downward force on the boss 7331. Since the second clamping piece 733 is rotatably connected to the first clamping piece 732, the end of the second clamping piece 733 away from the boss 7331 moves closer to the first clamping piece 732, thereby clamping the inner button assembly 12. When the second downward-pressing driving member 72 drives the entire assembly to move downward, so that the inner button assembly 12 is installed inside the ball head inner core 11, the clamping cylinder 731 drives the output end to move upward, so that the second clamping piece 733 is separated from the first clamping piece 732, thereby loosening the inner button assembly 12.

[0092] S4: Then, one of the control components 10 is pressed with one hand, and the mounting block 22 continues to move to the end of the guide rail 21 close to the sliding sleeve mounting mechanism 6, and the inspection of the second elastic member 142 and the assembly and inspection of the sliding sleeve 13 are completed in sequence;

[0093] S5: Apply oil to the end of the inner button assembly 12 near the second elastic member 142 to prevent abnormal noise when it contacts the second elastic member 142. Then, the assembly and testing of the sliding sleeve 13, the inner button assembly 12, and the fixing member 15 are completed in sequence, thus completing the second assembly process;

[0094] S6: After assembly, check whether the inner button assembly 12 is flexible in rotation, and apply grease to the inclined surface of the sliding sleeve 13 with a slap pen, and then proceed to the next process.

[0095] In addition, during the entire assembly process, sensors 91 near each installation mechanism automatically detect whether any parts are missing or installed incorrectly; if there is no problem during the detection, the parts are automatically assembled in sequence. If there is any missing or incorrect installation, the sensor 91 transmits the relevant signal to the controller of the car shift hand ball, and displays the work station with the problem through the display 92. At the same time, the indicator light flashes to alarm and stops the equipment.

[0096] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
