[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic shifter and a car with adjustable shifting experience, which can solve the problem in the related art that the shifter is difficult to meet the shifting feel requirements of different groups of people.

[0035] In the related art, through the coordination of the curved surface of the bullet head and the curved surface block, when the driver changes gears, the contact between the bullet head and the curved surface block gives the driver a special shifting feel of the current gear, so that the driver can identify the current gear through the feedback of the feel, so that the driver does not have to lower his head to check the current gear, thereby improving the safety of the driving process. However, different drivers have different requirements for the shifting feel, and the existing electronic shifter is difficult to meet the requirements of various drivers for the shifting feel.

[0036] The present application provides an electronic shifter and a car with adjustable shifting experience. The electronic shifter and the car with adjustable shifting experience of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0037] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides an electronic shifter with adjustable shifting experience, which may include: a bullet head 1; a curved block 2, wherein the curved block 2 is provided with a plurality of shifting structures 21 with different structures; an adjusting mechanism 3, wherein the adjusting mechanism 3 can adjust the position of the curved block 2 to switch the corresponding shifting structure 21 to match the bullet head 1. The present invention is based on the existing structure of the bullet head 1 and the curved block 2, and can utilize the cooperation of the bullet head 1 and the curved block 2 during the shifting process to provide feedback to the driver on the shifting feel, so that the driver can determine whether the shifting operation is correct during driving. By arranging a plurality of shifting structures 21 with different structures on the curved block 2, and adjusting the position of the curved block 2 by the adjusting mechanism 3, the corresponding shifting structure 21 is switched to match the bullet head 1, thereby providing the driver with a different driving experience. In this embodiment, the shift structures 21 not only have different shifting feel, but also have shift structures 21 with different shifting forms on the curved surface block 2. For example, some shift structures 21 can satisfy three-point shifting, and some shift structures 21 can satisfy five-point shifting. By switching the shift structures 21, different driving experiences can be brought to the driver.

[0038] In this embodiment, different shifting structures 21 are switched by linear translation of the curved surface block 2. In other embodiments, different shifting structures 21 may be switched by rotational translation, such as by setting a rotatable adjustment mechanism 3 on the side of the curved surface block 2, and rotating the curved surface block 2 in a plane through the adjustment mechanism 3, thereby switching the corresponding shifting structure 21; different shifting structures 21 may also be switched by flipping the curved surface block 2, such as setting different shifting structures 21 on different sides of the curved surface block 2, and flipping the curved surface block 2 through the adjustment mechanism 3 of the flippable curved surface block 2, thereby switching different shifting structures 21. There are many kinds of adjustment mechanisms 3 that can switch the shifting structure 21, and they are not limited to the adjustment mechanisms 3 that move linearly.

[0039] In this embodiment, the curved block 2 satisfies different shifting feels by setting shift structures 21 of different shapes. In other embodiments, different shifting feels can also be satisfied by setting shift structures 21 of different materials. The shift structures 21 of different softness and hardness can be used to provide the driver with a variety of shifting feel options.

[0040] See also Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, in some optional embodiments, the electronic shifter further includes a locking mechanism 4, and the locking mechanism 4 can unlock or lock the position of the curved block 2. That is, the curved block 2 can be locked by the locking mechanism 4 to avoid hand feel deviation or even shift failure caused by the position offset of the curved block 2 during driving. Among them, the locking of the curved block 2 can be achieved by clamping, or by blocking. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 4 locks the curved block 2 by manual pressing. In other embodiments, the locking and unlocking of the curved block 2 can also be controlled by electric means, such as pre-storing a locking program on the vehicle's IVI (In-Vehicle Information, vehicle-mounted host), and by transmitting the locking or unlocking instruction to the IVI, the IVI recognizes the instruction and controls the locking mechanism 4 to lock or unlock the curved block 2, thereby expanding the scope of implementation of the unlocking or locking operation. At the same time, IVI can also be used to control the adjustment mechanism 3. When the shifting structure 21 needs to be replaced, the command can be directly input to IVI. When IVI receives the change command, it first controls the locking mechanism 4 to unlock, and then controls the adjustment mechanism 3 to switch the corresponding shifting structure 21 to match the bullet head 1. After the switching is completed, the curved block 2 is locked by controlling the locking mechanism 4 to complete the entire switching process. Compared with operating the locking mechanism 4 and the adjustment mechanism 3 separately, the switching efficiency is improved.

[0041] See also Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the curved block 2 is provided with a limiting structure 22 corresponding to the shift structure 21; the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking pin 41 that can be inserted into or removed from the limiting structure 22, and the locking pin 41 can be inserted into the limiting structure 22 to lock the curved block 2, and the locking pin 41 can be removed from the limiting structure 22 to unlock the curved block 2. The locking of the curved block 2 is achieved by inserting the locking pin 41 into the limiting structure 22, which has a better locking effect than pressing. In this embodiment, the limiting structure 22 can be a hole-shaped structure or a groove-shaped structure. By inserting the locking pin 41 into the limiting structure 22, the side wall of the locking pin 41 and the side of the curved block 2 are used to avoid the movement of the curved block 2, so as to achieve the locking effect. By providing a limiting structure 22 corresponding to the shift structure 21 on the curved block 2, and inserting the locking pin 41 into the corresponding limiting structure 22, the corresponding shift structure 21 can be adapted to the bullet head 1.

[0042] See also Figure 7As shown, in some optional embodiments, the end of the locking pin 41 away from the curved block 2 is connected to the first elastic body 412, and the top of the locking pin 41 is provided with a first guide slope 411; the locking mechanism 4 also includes an unlocking member 42, and the unlocking member 42 is connected to a second elastic body 422, and the unlocking member 42 is provided with a second guide slope 421; when the unlocking member 42 is pressed, the second guide slope 421 is in contact with the first guide slope 411, and the unlocking member 42 drives the locking pin 41 to move out of the limiting structure 22; when the unlocking member 42 is released, the second elastic body 422 drives the unlocking member 42 away from the locking pin 41, and the first elastic body 412 drives the locking pin 41 to move toward the curved block 2. That is to say, the locking pin 41 can be unlocked by pressing the unlocking member 42, and when the unlocking member 42 is released, the unlocking member 42 will be driven away from the locking pin 41 by the second elastic body 422, and the locking pin 41 without the restriction of the unlocking member 42 will be driven close to the curved block 2 by the first elastic body 412, so as to lock the curved block 2. It can ensure that the curved block 2 is in a locked state without the action of external force, and the curved block 2 will be unlocked only when it is necessary to switch to a different shifting structure 21 under the pressure of the unlocking member 42. Compared with the locking mechanism 4 that remains unlocked after unlocking, this embodiment provides a locking mechanism 4 that automatically locks after unlocking, which improves the stability of the locking of the curved block 2 and avoids the unlocking of the curved block 2 due to forgetting to lock.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first elastic body 412 and the second elastic body 422 are both springs. In other embodiments, the first elastic body 412 and the second elastic body 422 may also be other elastic structures such as rubber.

[0044] In this embodiment, the locking pin 41 is driven to unlock by cooperating with the first guide bevel 411 and the second guide bevel 421. Compared with linearly pushing the locking pin 41 to disengage from the limiting structure 22, the moving directions of the unlocking member 42 and the locking pin 41 can be staggered, which is convenient for arrangement in a narrow space.

[0045] In this embodiment, locking pins 41 are provided on opposite sides of the curved block 2 to make the locking of the curved block 2 more stable. In other embodiments, the curved block 2 can be locked by one locking pin 41 or another number of locking pins 41 according to the size of the layout space.

[0046] In this embodiment, an unlocking button 43 is provided on the unlocking member 42. By pressing the unlocking button 43, the unlocking member 42 is driven to overcome the second elastic body 422 and move toward the locking pin 41. In other embodiments, the unlocking member 42 can be pressed by mechanical or electronic devices to unlock the unlocking member 42.

[0047] See also Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, a lifting mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the curved block 2, and the lifting mechanism 5 can adjust the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1. In other words, the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1 can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism 5, and then the pressing force of the spring at the bullet head 1 during the gear shifting process can be adjusted to achieve the adjustment of the feedback force of the gear shifting process. When the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1 increases, the feedback force during the gear shifting process will decrease, and when the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1 decreases, the feedback force during the gear shifting process will increase.

[0048] In this embodiment, the magnetic field generated by the energized coil 52 is used to drive the magnet 51 fixedly connected to the curved block 2 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1. In other embodiments, the position of the curved block 2 can also be adjusted by a telescopic mechanism or other spacing adjustment mechanism, such as setting a cylinder to drive the movement of the curved block 2, or setting two matching wedge blocks, and adjusting the position of one of the wedge blocks to adjust the height of the other wedge block, thereby adjusting the spacing between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the curved block 2 is arranged at the bottom of the bullet head 1, and the lifting mechanism 5 is arranged below the curved block 2. In other embodiments, if the curved block 2 is located above or in front of the bullet head 1, the lifting mechanism 5 can be arranged above or in front of the curved block 2, so that the lifting mechanism 5 is located on the side of the curved block 2 away from the bullet head 1 to meet the adjustment of the position of the curved block 2. The lifting mechanism 5 and the bullet head 1 can also be arranged on the same side of the curved block 2, as long as the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1 can be adjusted.

[0050] See also Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a magnet 51 and an energized coil 52, the magnet 51 is fixed to the side of the curved block 2 away from the bullet head 1, and the energized coil 52 is located on the side of the magnet 51 away from the curved block 2. That is to say, the position of the magnet 51 is adjusted by the magnetic field generated by the energized coil 52 to adjust the distance between the curved block 2 and the bullet head 1 to meet the adjustment of the hand feel. Among them, the moving direction of the magnet 51 can be adjusted by adjusting the direction of the current in the energized coil 52, and the moving distance of the magnet 51 can also be adjusted by adjusting the current size in the energized coil 52. In this embodiment, the current in the energized coil 52 can be controlled by IVI, and the shifting structure 21 of the electronic shifter is recorded by the memory function of IVI. After the vehicle is powered on, the electronic shifter is restored to the last used shifting structure 21 through IVI.

[0051] In this embodiment, the curved block 2 wraps the magnet 51, and uses a magnetic resistance structure to isolate the Hall device used to detect the shifting operation of the bullet head 1, thereby reducing the influence of the magnetic field on the spring and the Hall device of the bullet head 1. It is preferred that the spring inside the electronic shifter is a non-magnetic spring to weaken the influence of the magnetic field generated by the energized coil 52 on the spring.

[0052] Lieutenant General Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the energized coil 52 is connected in series with a variable resistor 53. That is, the current in the energized coil 52 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance of the variable resistor 53, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the energized coil 52.

[0053] See also Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the curved block 2 is provided with at least one three-point shift structure 21 and at least one five-point shift structure 21. In this embodiment, the curved block 2 is provided with three shift structures 21, wherein the shift structure 21 of the AA section is a three-point shift structure 21, and the shift structures 21 of the BB and CC sections are both five-point shift structures 21. In other words, the position of the curved block 2 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 3 to switch the electronic shifter between a three-point shifter and a five-point shifter. To meet different shifting forms. In this embodiment, the curved block 2 includes two shifting forms of shifting structures 21. In other embodiments, if the shifting structure 21 has more forms, more shifting forms of shifting structures 21 can also be provided on the curved block 2.

[0054] See also Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a rack 32 and a gear 31 connected to the driving device, the gear 31 is meshed with the rack 32, and the rack 32 is connected to the curved block 2; when the driving device drives the gear 31 to rotate, the rack 32 can drive the curved block 2 to move. In other words, the movement of the rack 32 is driven by the rotation of the gear 31, so as to realize the movement of the curved block 2 and complete the switching of the shifting structure 21 on the curved block 2. In this embodiment, a limit groove 33 adapted to the curved block 2 is provided in the electronic shifter, and the moving direction of the curved block 2 is limited by the limit groove 33. The positioning of the moving direction of the curved block 2 is realized. The driving device can be a rotating driving component such as a motor or hydraulic motor provided by the electronic shifter.

[0055] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a car, which includes the above-mentioned electronic shifter. By installing an electronic shifter with an adjustable position of the curved block 2 on the car, the driver can adjust the position of the curved block 2 with the help of the adjustment mechanism 3 according to his or her preference for the shift feel, and adapt the corresponding shift structure 21 to the bullet head 1. Meet the needs of different groups of people for the shift feel. And a shift structure 21 with different shift forms can be set on the curved block 2 to achieve the shift form of switching the electronic shifter. The electronic shifter can be connected to the IVI of the vehicle, and two soft switches, a shift form selection switch and a shift feel adjustment switch, are added to the IVI of the vehicle. The electronic shifter is adjusted by the soft switch, and the commonly used mode is recorded with the help of the memory function of the IVI, so as to quickly switch to the shift mode corresponding to the driver. For example, the commonly used shift form of the owner A and the lifting distance of the lifting mechanism are recorded in the A shift mode, which is convenient for the owner A to quickly adjust to the familiar shift mode after other drivers change. The familiar shifting pattern data can also be transmitted to other vehicles with the help of IVI, so that the owner A can quickly adjust to the familiar shifting mode when driving other vehicles for the first time, thereby improving the experience of the electronic shifter.

[0056] The principle of an electronic shifter and a car with adjustable shifting experience provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0057] By setting a plurality of shift structures 21 with different structures on the curved block 2, when the driver needs to switch to a different shift mode, the position of the curved block 2 is adjusted by means of the adjustment mechanism 3, so that the corresponding shift structure 21 is switched to match the bullet head 1. The shift experience can be adjusted, and the shift structure 21 with different shift modes can be set on the curved block 2. Switching the shift structure 21 can not only adjust the shift feel, but also adjust the shift mode, so that the electronic shifter can meet the driving needs of various drivers.
