DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and are therefore only used as examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0032] In the first aspect, the magnetic shift paddle switch in this embodiment has a structure as follows: Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a paddle 2 and a handle 3; the paddle 2 and the handle 3 are both rotatably mounted on the housing 1 and can rotate relative to each other; a first switch 4 and a second switch 5 corresponding to the paddle 2 and the handle 3 are fixed in the housing 1, wherein one of the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 is an upshift switch and the other is a downshift switch. When installed and used, the upshift switch and the downshift switch are connected to the gear control system of the motorcycle. When the upshift switch is triggered, the vehicle is accelerated, and when the downshift switch is triggered, the vehicle is decelerated. In terms of switch selection, the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 can adopt various types of switches, such as micro switches, touch switches, etc., to meet the needs of different users.

[0033] More specifically, a first suction structure is provided between the paddle 2 and the housing 1, and a second suction structure is provided between the paddle 2 and the handle 3; Figure 4 As shown, in the normal state, the paddle 2 and the housing 1 are kept relatively still by the suction force of the first suction structure, and the paddle 2 and the handle 3 are kept relatively still by the suction force of the second suction structure. At this time, the handle 3 is in the initial position and can rotate in two directions, and the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 are not triggered. In this state, the handle 3 can be kept in the current position because of the first suction structure and the second suction structure, thereby avoiding malfunction; when an external force is applied to push the handle 3 to rotate in the first direction, the paddle 2 is driven to overcome the suction force of the first suction structure to rotate to trigger the first switch 4 (see Figure 5 When the push force on the dial handle 3 is removed, the paddle 2 can rotate and reset under the suction force of the first suction structure, and the paddle 2 drives the dial handle 3 to rotate to the initial position; when an external force is applied to push the dial handle 3 to rotate in the second direction, the dial handle 3 overcomes the suction force of the second suction structure to trigger the second switch 5 (see Figure 6 In the state shown in the figure, after the thrust applied to the handle 3 is removed, the handle 3 rotates and returns to the initial position under the suction of the second suction structure; the first direction is opposite to the second direction, Figure 4 The direction B indicates the first direction, and the direction C indicates the second direction. In the solution of this embodiment, the upshift switch and the downshift switch are integrated together, and the overall structure is compact and easy to install. The upshift switch and the downshift switch can be controlled by the handle 3, and the upshift and downshift can be operated with one hand, which improves the convenience and safety of operation control. The setting of the first suction structure and the second suction structure not only simplifies the complexity of the structure, but also improves the stability and reliability of the function, and has good practicality.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first attraction structure includes a magnetic component 1 6 and a magnetic component 2 7 respectively arranged on the plectrum 2 and the shell seat 1, and the magnetic component 1 6 and the magnetic component 2 7 are both magnets; as a modified implementation scheme, one of the magnetic component 1 6 and the magnetic component 2 7 is a magnet, and the other is an iron block; through the suction force between the magnetic component 1 6 and the magnetic component 2 7, a detachable connection between the plectrum 2 and the shell seat 1 is achieved.

[0035] Similarly, the second attraction structure in this embodiment includes a magnetic component three 8 and a magnetic component four 9 respectively arranged on the paddle 2 and the handle 3, and the magnetic component three 8 and the magnetic component four 9 are both magnets; as a modified implementation scheme, one of the magnetic component three 8 and the magnetic component four 9 adopts a magnet, and the other adopts an iron block; through the suction force between the magnetic component three 8 and the magnetic component four 9, a detachable connection between the paddle 2 and the handle 3 is achieved.

[0036] Furthermore, the paddle 2 and the handle 3 are coaxially arranged on the shell base 1 through the shaft connection structure 11, which facilitates the installation of the paddle 2 and the handle 3; and by coaxially arranging the paddle 2 and the handle 3, it is ensured that the paddle 2 and the handle 3 can move around the same rotation axis, thereby achieving more precise and consistent operation.

[0037] Combination Figures 4 to 6 and Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the paddle 2 includes a first mounting portion 21, and a blocking portion 22 and a first contact and pressure portion 23 respectively arranged on both sides of the first mounting portion 21. The shell base 1 is provided with a positioning portion 12, and the first contact and pressure portion 23 is located between the positioning portion 12 and the first switch 4. The first suction structure is arranged between the positioning portion 12 and the first contact and pressure portion 23. The dial handle 3 includes an operating handle 31 extending from the shell base 1, a second mounting portion 32 extending into the shell base 1, and a second contact and pressure portion 33 arranged between the operating handle 31 and the second mounting portion 32. The operating handle 31 extends from the shell base 1 to facilitate the driver to control the dial handle 3. The first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 32 are connected by the shaft connection structure 11. Connected to the housing base 1, the second contact and pressure portion 33 is between the resisting portion 22 and the second switch 5, and the second suction structure is arranged between the second contact and pressure portion 3 and the resisting portion 22. Under normal conditions, the first contact and pressure portion 23 is in contact with the positioning portion 12 under the suction of the first suction structure, and the second contact and pressure portion 33 is in contact with the resisting portion 22 under the suction of the second suction structure. During operation, when the handle 3 rotates in the first direction, the second contact and pressure portion 33 pushes the resisting portion 22 and drives the paddle 2 to rotate, so that the first contact and pressure portion 23 triggers the first switch 4; conversely, when the handle 3 rotates in the second direction, the second contact and pressure portion 33 is separated from the resisting portion 22, and the second switch 5 is triggered accordingly. This design not only improves the response speed and accuracy of the switch, but also enhances the convenience of operation, providing users with a better use experience.

[0038] In practical operation, the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 can be directly fixed on the housing base 1; however, sometimes the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 are not convenient to be directly installed on the housing base 1 due to space limitations or position interference. In order to adapt to the installation of the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 in the housing base 1, in another embodiment, a fixing frame 10 is fixed in the housing base 1, such as Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the fixing frame 10 is provided with a first mounting groove 101, a second mounting groove 102 and a wiring channel 103, the wiring channel 103 is communicated with the first mounting groove 101 and the second mounting groove 102, and the wiring channel 103 has a wire outlet 104 communicated with the outside, thereby forming a smooth wire laying path, the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 are respectively fixed in the first mounting groove 101 and the second mounting groove 102, the wires connected to the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 are laid in the wiring channel 103 and led out through the wire outlet 104, during assembly, the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 can be first installed on the fixing frame 10, and then the fixing frame 10 can be installed in the shell base 1, to ensure the stable installation of the first switch 4 and the second switch 5, and the setting of the wiring channel 103 further optimizes the layout of the wires, so that the wires connecting the first switch 4 and the second switch 5 can be arranged in the wiring channel 103 in an orderly manner, avoiding the risk of wire clutter and interference.

[0039] In order to facilitate fast and reliable fixation of the first switch 4 and the second switch 5, buckles are provided at the first installation groove 101 and the second installation groove 102. The first switch 4 and the second switch 5 are respectively installed in the first installation groove 101 and the second clamping groove 102 and fixed by the buckles.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the shaft connection structure 11 includes a first positioning shaft 111 provided on the shell base 1, a second positioning shaft 112 provided on the fixing frame 10, and a sleeve 113. The first positioning shaft 111 and the second positioning shaft 112 are arranged oppositely and coaxially, and the sleeve 113 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first positioning shaft 111 and the second positioning shaft 112. The first mounting portion 21 is provided with two opposite mounting plates 211, and the mounting plates 211 are provided with a first mounting shaft hole 212 sleeved with the sleeve 113. The second mounting portion 32 extends between the two mounting plates 211, and the second mounting portion 32 is provided with a second mounting shaft hole 321 sleeved with the sleeve 113. The setting of the sleeve 113 provides effective support for the paddle 2 and the handle 3, and also reduces friction to extend the service life, so that the paddle 2 and the handle 3 can be efficiently and stably coaxially rotated on the shell base 1.

[0041] The present embodiment also provides a motorcycle, on which is installed the magnetic shift paddle switch of any of the above embodiments. The magnetic shift paddle switch is installed on the handlebar of the motorcycle, so that the driver can perform shift operations nearby while driving, thereby improving the convenience of shifting operation and improving driving safety.

[0042] For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. However, these obvious changes or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
