[0034] In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, and the meaning of "several" is one or more.
[0035] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] As Figures 1-6 shown, a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle frame 100, a cab, a shifter 300, an upper vehicle pedal 200, a transmission 400, and a selector and shifter cable assembly 500.
[0037] The cab is pivotally mounted on the vehicle frame 100. The boarding pedal 200 includes a main body section and a stepping section. The main body section is located below the cab and connected to the cab. The stepping section projects from the left or right side of the cab. The shifter 300 is installed inside the cab. The transmission 400 is installed on the vehicle frame 100 and located behind the cab. The shift selector cable assembly 500 includes a first section 530, a second section 540, and a third section 550. One end of the first section 530 is connected to the shifter 300 and extends out of the cab from the front side of the cab. One end of the second section 540 is connected to the other end of the first section 530 and extends in the direction of the boarding pedal 200. Both ends of the third section 550 are respectively connected to the other end of the second section 540 and the transmission 400.
[0038] Specifically, the shift selector cable assembly 500 includes a shift selection cable 510 and a shift cable 520, and the shift selection cable 510 and the shift cable 520 can be arranged side by side. That is to say, one end of the shift selection cable 510 is connected to the shifter 300 and the other end is connected to the transmission 400. One end of the shift cable 520 is connected to the shifter 300 and the other end is connected to the transmission 400. The shift selection cable 510 includes a first section 530, a second section 540, and a third section 550. The shift cable 520 also includes a first section 530, a second section 540, and a third section 550. And the first section 530 of the shift selection cable 510 is arranged side by side with the first section 530 of the shift cable 520, the second section 540 of the shift selection cable 510 is arranged side by side with the second section 540 of the shift cable 520, and the third section 550 of the shift selection cable 510 is arranged side by side with the third section 550 of the shift cable 520. Among them, the vehicle can be a truck with a flat cab.
[0039] For the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, by pivotally mounting the cab on the vehicle frame 100, installing the shifter 300 inside the cab, installing the transmission 400 on the vehicle frame 100 and located behind the cab, and connecting one end of the first section 530 of the shift selector cable assembly 500 to the shifter 300 and extending out of the cab from the front side of the cab, it can be understood that the cab can generally be pivoted forward relative to the vehicle frame 100. That is to say, the pivot axis of the cab is generally at a position close to the front side of the cab. With such a setting, the part of the first section 530 of the shift selector cable assembly 500 extending out of the cab can be closer to the pivot axis of the cab. When the cab is pivoted relative to the vehicle frame 100, the rotation amplitude of the part of the shift selector cable assembly 500 close to the pivot axis of the cab can be smaller, thereby reducing the follow-up range of the first section 530, and further reducing the overall follow-up range of the shift selector cable assembly 500, making the floating range of the shift selector cable assembly 500 in the up and down direction smaller.
[0040] In addition, the boarding pedal 200 includes a main body section and a stepping section. The main body section is located below the cab and connected to the cab. The stepping section is exposed from the left or right side of the cab. One end of the second section 540 is connected to the other end of the first section 530 and extends in the direction of the boarding pedal 200. Specifically, the distance that the second section 540 extends in the direction of the boarding pedal 200 can be determined according to different vehicle models, which can not only meet the follow-up requirements of the second section 540 but also avoid the second section 540 being too long.
[0041] It should be noted that the boarding pedal 200 is generally provided on at least one of the left and right sides of the cab. According to the different vehicle models in different countries, the position of the driver's seat is either on the left side of the cab or on the right side of the cab. The second section 540 of the shift cable assembly 500 can extend in the direction of the boarding pedal 200 on the driver's side. Of course, when avoiding component interference, the second section 540 of the shift cable assembly 500 can also extend in the direction of the boarding pedal 200 on the co-driver's side. For example, if the driver's seat is on the left side of the cab, the second section 540 of the shift cable assembly 500 extends from the first section 530 to the position of the boarding pedal 200 to the left.
[0042] With this setting, the shift cable assembly 500 can be spaced apart from the engine cooling module, preventing the engine cooling module from occupying the space of the shift cable assembly 500 and enabling the second section 540 to be in a relatively spacious space. When the cab rotates relative to the vehicle frame 100, even if the second section 540 of the shift cable assembly 500 rotates, the second section 540 will not interfere with the positions of other components. That is to say, there is enough space on the layout path of the shift cable assembly 500 to meet the requirement of its movement as the cab rotates.
[0043] Moreover, since the second section 540 extends in the direction of the boarding pedal 200, that is, the second section 540 extends in the left-right direction, the dimension of the second section 540 in the left-right direction can be relatively long. When the cab rotates relative to the vehicle frame 100 along its rotation axis, the second section 540 will also rotate relative to the rotation axis of the cab. At the same time, the second section 540 itself will have a certain torsion, and part of the up-and-down floating of the shift cable 520 itself is absorbed by the torsion of the second section 540 itself, further reducing the follow-up range of the shift cable assembly 500 and making it less likely to have dynamic interference with other components, which is convenient for layout.
[0044] It should be noted that in order to improve driving comfort, vehicles in the related art generally adopt front and rear four-airbag shock absorption. When the vehicle passes through a bumpy road surface, the cab will also float up and down, which will drive the shift soft shaft assembly 500 to float up and down. According to the arrangement method of the embodiments of the present invention, the floating space of the second section 540 near the boarding pedal 200 is larger, which can normally meet the follow-up requirements of the second section 540 during vehicle driving.
[0045] In this way, the soft shaft arrangement space of the vehicle according to the embodiments of the present invention is larger, which can meet the follow-up requirements of the shift soft shaft assembly 500 and avoid interference between the shift soft shaft 520 and other components.
[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a part of the second section 540 is arranged in a stacked manner with the boarding pedal 200 in the vertical direction. Specifically, a part of the second section 540 can be arranged above the boarding pedal 200 and arranged in a stacked manner with the boarding pedal 200.
[0047] In this way, on the one hand, it avoids position interference between the second section 540 and the boarding pedal 200 in the horizontal direction, and the stacked arrangement can reduce the arrangement space between the second section 540 and the boarding pedal 200, improving space utilization. On the other hand, the space above the boarding pedal 200 is more spacious, and there is enough space for the shift soft shaft assembly 500 to follow up, further avoiding dynamic interference between the shift soft shaft assembly 500 and other components.
[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cab includes a front wall panel 600 and a hinge shaft 700.
[0049] The front wall panel 600 is provided with a shift through hole 610 penetrating it in the front-rear direction. The first section 530 extends out of the cab from the shift through hole 610. The hinge shaft 700 is located in front of the front wall panel 600 and is connected to the vehicle frame 100. The cab rotates relative to the vehicle frame 100 around the hinge shaft 700.
[0050] Specifically, the rotation axis 700 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. By providing a shift through-hole 610 on the front bulkhead 600 and allowing the first section 530 to pass through the shift through-hole 610, the first section 530 can be closer to the rotation axis 700. When the cab rotates relative to the vehicle frame 100 about the rotation axis 700, the rotation amplitude of the first section 530 can be smaller, further reducing the follow-up range of the shift control cable assembly 500 in the up-down direction and facilitating the layout of the shift control cable assembly 500. Moreover, after the first section 530 passes through the shift through-hole 610, one end of the second section 540 connected to the first section 530 can be fixed to the front bulkhead 600, making the fixation of the shift control cable assembly 500 more reliable, preventing the second section 540 from shaking, and further reducing the follow-up range of the second section 540 when the cab rotates about the rotation axis 700.
[0051] In addition, by extending the first section 530 forward out of the cab through the shift through-hole 610 of the front bulkhead 600 and then extending the second section 540 in the direction closer to the boarding pedal 200, it is possible to prevent the second section 540 from directly extending in the direction of the boarding pedal 200 and interfering with other components (such as the intercooler), facilitating the layout of the shift control cable assembly 500.
[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-4 shown, the vehicle further includes a first mounting bracket 800 and a second mounting bracket 810.
[0053] The first mounting bracket 800 is mounted on the front bulkhead 600 and connected to the shift control cable assembly 500. The second mounting bracket 810 is mounted on the front bulkhead 600 and connected to the shift control cable assembly 500. The second mounting bracket 810 is located on the side of the first mounting bracket 800 closer to the boarding pedal 200. Among them, the first mounting bracket 800 is located between the shift through-hole 610 and the second mounting bracket 810 in the left-right direction, and the first mounting bracket 800 is located between the shift through-hole 610 and the second mounting bracket 810 in the up-down direction.
[0054] That is to say, the first mounting bracket 800 can be mounted on the part of the front bulkhead 600 close to the shift through-hole 610, and the second mounting bracket 810 can be mounted on the side of the front bulkhead 600 close to the boarding pedal 200 and located on the lower side of the front bulkhead 600.
[0055] In this way, the first mounting bracket 800 can fix the part of the second section 540 between the second mounting bracket 810 and the shift through hole 610, preventing the shift control cable assembly 500 in this part from shifting. The second mounting bracket 810 can fix the part of the second section 540 between the first mounting bracket 800 and the vehicle entry pedal 200, so as to prevent the shift control cable assembly 500 in this part from shifting, further improving the fixing reliability of the shift control cable assembly 500. Moreover, the part of the second section 540 fixed by the first mounting bracket 800 and the second mounting bracket 810 does not shake, the fixing of the second section 540 is more stable, the floating length of the second section 540 is smaller, and the follow-up range of the second section 540 is further reduced.
[0056] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the lower edge of the front wall panel 600 includes a first horizontal section 620, a second horizontal section 630, and an inclined section 640.
[0057] The first horizontal section 620 extends in the left-right direction, the first mounting bracket 800 is mounted on the first horizontal section 620, the second horizontal section 630 extends in the left-right direction and is lower than the first horizontal section 620. The second horizontal section 630 is located on the side of the first horizontal section 620 close to the vehicle entry pedal 200. One end of the inclined section 640 is connected to one end of the first horizontal section 620 close to the vehicle entry pedal 200, and the other end of the inclined section 640 is connected to the end of the second horizontal section 630 far from the vehicle entry pedal 200. Among them, the second mounting bracket 810 is connected to at least one of the second horizontal section 630 and the inclined section 640.
[0058] That is to say, the first horizontal section 620 is closer to the shifter 300 than the second horizontal section 630 in the up-and-down direction. One end of the first section 530 is connected to the shifter 300. After extending from the shifter 300, the first section 530 can be first fixed to the floor of the cab through the fourth mounting bracket 830, making the fixation of the first section 530 more reliable. The shifting through-hole 610 can be provided directly above the first horizontal section 620 to facilitate the first section 530 to pass through the cab from the shifting through-hole 610. Moreover, the first mounting bracket 800 can stably fix the second section 540 to the first horizontal section 620. Furthermore, the second horizontal section 630 and the inclined section 640 are closer to the boarding pedal 200 than the first horizontal section 620 in the left-and-right direction. The second section 540 is fixed to the second horizontal section 630 or the inclined section 640 through the second mounting bracket 810. In this way, the second section 540 can be closer to the boarding pedal 200, and the floating range of the shift cable assembly 500 is larger. Moreover, the main floating part of the second section 540 is a section extending from the second mounting bracket 810 to the boarding pedal 200. By making the distance between the second mounting bracket 810 and the boarding pedal 200 relatively close, the length of the second section 540 that can float in the up-and-down direction can be shortened, further reducing the floating amplitude of the second section 540 in the up-and-down direction.
[0059] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the second section 540 includes a transverse section 541 and a first longitudinal section 542.
[0060] One end of the transverse section 541 is respectively connected to the other end of the first section 530 and the first mounting bracket 800. The transverse section 541 extends in the left-and-right direction. One end of the first longitudinal section 542 is respectively connected to the other end of the transverse section 541 and the second mounting bracket 810. The first longitudinal section 542 extends in the front-and-back direction. The third section 550 is respectively connected to the other end of the first longitudinal section 542 and the vehicle frame 100.
[0061] Specifically, the horizontal section 541 can follow the movement of the cab during flipping, the first longitudinal section 542 can float up and down, the horizontal section 541 can extend along the left-right direction of the vehicle and extend from the shifting through-hole 610 towards the vehicle boarding pedal 200. The horizontal section 541 gradually slopes downwards. In this way, when observed from above the frame 100, the horizontal section 541 can be approximately parallel to the flipping axis 700, and when observed from the front to the rear of the frame 100, the horizontal section 541 is inclined relative to the flipping axis 700. The distance between the end of the horizontal section 541 close to the vehicle boarding pedal 200 and the flipping axis is less than the distance between the end of the horizontal section 541 close to the shifting through-hole 610 and the flipping axis 700. In this way, the length of the horizontal section 541 extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle can be longer, and when the horizontal section 541 follows the cab to flip around the flipping axis 700, the flipping amplitude of the end of the horizontal section 541 close to the shifting through-hole 610 is greater than the flipping amplitude of the end of the horizontal section 541 close to the vehicle boarding pedal 200, resulting in the horizontal section 541 itself twisting, which can absorb a certain amount of deformation of the shift control cable assembly 500, making the up-and-down floating amplitude of the first longitudinal section 542 smaller.
[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-3 shown, the vehicle further includes a steering oil tank 110 and a third mounting bracket 820.
[0063] The steering oil tank 110 is mounted on the frame 100 and is located above the main section of the vehicle boarding pedal 200. The third mounting bracket 820 is mounted on the steering oil tank 110 and is connected to the third section 550.
[0064] For example, the steering oil tank 110 is closer to the second mounting bracket 810 relative to the frame 100. By fixing one end of the third section 550 close to the frame 100 to the steering oil tank 110, in this way, the third section 550 can have more fixing fulcrums, and the distance between the second mounting bracket 810 and the third mounting bracket 820 can be shorter, which can improve the fixing reliability of the third section 550 while reducing the length of the third section 550, thereby restricting the length of the third section 550. That is to say, the part of the shift control cable assembly 500 located between the second mounting bracket 810 and the third mounting bracket 820 will float, further avoiding dynamic interference between the shift control cable assembly 500 and other components, and the layout is more reasonable.
[0065] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the third section 550 includes a second longitudinal section 551 and a transition section 552.
[0066] One end of the second longitudinal section 551 is connected to the transmission 400 and mounted on the vehicle frame 100. The second longitudinal section 551 extends in the front-rear direction. Both ends of the transition section 552 are respectively connected to the other end of the first longitudinal section 542 and the other end of the second longitudinal section 551. The transition section 552 is connected to the third mounting bracket 820.
[0067] That is to say, the third section 550 is fixed to the vehicle frame 100. The second longitudinal section 551 can be fixed to the vehicle frame 100 through the fifth mounting bracket 840 and the sixth mounting bracket 850, or fixed and connected to the vehicle frame 100 through more mounting brackets. The transition section 552 can extend both in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction of the vehicle frame 100, which is convenient for both ends of the transition section 552 to be respectively connected to the second longitudinal section 551 and the second section 540. After the third mounting bracket 820 fixes the connection between the transition section 552 and the second section 540, when the second section 540 floats, it will not drive the transition section 552 to float, so that the transition section 552 can remain stationary.
[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the vehicle further includes a sleeve 553.
[0069] The sleeve 553 is sleeved on the transition section 552. One end of the sleeve 553 extends to the connection of the second longitudinal section 551 with the vehicle frame 100, and the other end of the sleeve 553 extends to the first longitudinal section 542.
[0070] When the transverse section 541 of the second section 540 follows the flipping of the cab and the first longitudinal section 542 floats up and down, due to the change in the position of the second section 540, although the transition section 552 is fixed by the third mounting bracket 820 and will not float accordingly, when the second section 540 floats, it will pull the transition section 552. By providing the sleeve 553, the transition section 552 can be fixed to the third mounting bracket 820 through the sleeve 553, and the transition section 552 can axially move relative to the sleeve 553. In this way, when the second section 540 pulls the transition section 552 when floating, the transition section 552 can move relative to the sleeve 553, thereby avoiding excessive pulling force between the second section 540 and the transition section 552 and reducing the damage probability of the shift cable assembly 500.
[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the transmission 400 includes a transmission main body 410 and a shift rocker arm 420.
[0072] The transmission main body 410 is installed on the vehicle frame 100. One end of the shift rocker arm 420 is rotatably installed on the transmission main body 410. The other end of the shift rocker arm 420 is provided with a first mounting hole 421 and a second mounting hole 422 at intervals along its length direction. The shift and select cable assembly 500 is selectively connected to one of the first mounting hole 421 and the second mounting hole 422.
[0073] For example, the first mounting hole 421 can be provided on the side of the second mounting hole 422 facing away from the transmission main body 410. That is to say, the mounting radius when the shift and select cable assembly 500 is connected to the first mounting hole 421 is greater than the mounting radius when the shift and select cable assembly 500 is connected to the second mounting hole 422. In this way, when the shift and select cable assembly 500 is connected to the second mounting hole 422, the shift and select cable assembly 500 can move a smaller distance in the front-rear direction to pull the shift rocker arm 420 to rotate a larger angle.
[0074] Moreover, during the initial production of the vehicle, the shift and select cable assembly 500 is connected to the first mounting hole 421. After the transmission 400 has been used for a long time, due to internal wear, the neutral travel of the shifter 300 during shifting will also increase accordingly. At this time, the shift and select cable assembly 500 can be separated from the first mounting hole 421 and then connected to the second mounting hole 422, so that the shift and select cable assembly 500 can move a smaller distance in the front-rear direction to pull the shift rocker arm 420 to rotate a larger angle, thereby compensating for the neutral travel during shifting and improving the operation feel, providing a better user experience.
