[0015] Working principle: When using the car simulator, the cover will be opened by the action of the electric telescopic rod, and then the gear base will be moved to the hand side of the user of the car simulator under the transmission of the electric guide rail. The position can be adjusted according to the user's habits. When using the car simulator to shift gears, the slide bar can be moved downward by pressing the pressure head connected to the slide bar, stretching the spring. At this time, the bottom end of the slide bar is against the two limit heads of the limit gear handle and force is applied to it, so that it is separated from the gear handle. The slide bar is reset under the pull of the spring reset. At this time, the gear handle can be pulled to shift gears. When the gear handle is moved to a specific shift position, the limit head at that position will be moved first. The gear handle that moves to this point is squeezed and retracted into the clamping seat, and the spring connected to it is compressed. When the gear handle is completely inserted into the two clamping seats, the spring resets the limit head along the limit hole on the gear handle and bounces into the interior of the gear handle, thereby fixing the gear handle, and the structure including the ball shaft and the ball sleeve connected to the bottom side of the gear handle is displaced, and the trigger magnet connected to the ball sleeve is displaced to another activation magnet and magnetically attracted to it, thereby causing the magnetic induction trigger in the signal sending box connected to the activation magnet to send a signal to the signal sending system, thereby transmitting the gear switching command to the car simulator body, and adjusting the gear of the simulated car simulated by the car simulator body. After the use of the car simulator is completed, the gear base together with the connecting structure including the gear handle returns to the interior of the shell under the conveyance of the electric guide rail 1, and the disinfectant is sprayed to the adjacent gear handle through the disinfectant nozzle, and then the electric guide rail 2 drives the structure including the connecting cleaning cylinder and the cleaning belt body to move downward, and the cleaning cylinder is sleeved on the outer periphery of the gear handle, and the cleaning cotton block is close to the outer wall of the gear handle, and the cleaning belt body is against the top side of the gear base, and then the motor is started, and the motor transmits the worm through two meshing bevel gears. The left end of the worm meshes with the turbine connected to the cleaning cylinder, so that the cleaning cylinder cooperates with the cleaning cotton block and the disinfectant sprayed on the surface of the gear handle to clean and disinfect the gear handle, and the right end of the worm drives the transmission roller through two pulleys connected by belts, so that the transmission roller drives the cleaning belt body to move, so that the cleaning belt body cleans foreign matter and dust on the top side surface of the gear base.

[0016] The present invention provides a manual automatic gear switching device for a car driving simulator, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the present invention, after the equipment is used, the automatic cleaning function of the cleaning cylinder and the cleaning brush can clean and disinfect the used gear handle in time after the car simulator is used, so as to maintain the hygiene of the equipment and reduce the spread of germs, so as to ensure that subsequent users will not reduce their desire to use the car simulator due to abnormal hygiene and health factors.

[0017] 2. The present invention, through the design of the ball sleeve and the ball shaft, can achieve a certain degree of angular deviation when the gear handle is moved for shifting, so as to avoid excessive stiffness when pulling the gear shift, and the gear base and the gear handle can be customized, thereby improving the user experience of the car simulator.

[0018] 3. In the present invention, the design of the dustproof telescopic film not only prevents dust and foreign matter from entering the interior of the gear base and protects the internal mechanical structure from damage, but also its pleated surface can expand and contract with the movement of the gear handle to ensure a continuous protective effect.

The gear base 1 can be conveyed to different positions together with the gear handle 4 according to the needs of users to match the user's usage habits and improve the user's experience. The inner wall of the gear base 1 is fixedly connected with a plate frame 6, a limit plate 7, and a bottom plate 8 from top to bottom in sequence. The top sides of the gear base 1, the plate frame 6 and the limit plate 7 all begin to have gear grooves. The gear groove connected to the plate frame 6 is fixed to the position of the gear handle 4 after shifting by a limit buckle, and the gear handle 4 is released by a release rod to shift gears. A dustproof telescopic film 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the top gear groove, and the dustproof telescopic film 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the gear handle 4. The surface of the dustproof telescopic film 5 is wrinkled and can be telescoped following the displacement of the gear handle 4 to prevent external foreign matter from entering the interior of the gear base 1.

At this time, the bottom end of the slide bar 11 is against the two limit heads 10 of the limit gear handle 4 and a force is applied to it, so that it is disengaged from the gear handle 4. The slide bar 11 is reset under the pull of the spring reset. At this time, the gear handle 4 can be pulled to shift gears. When the gear handle is moved to a specific shifting position, the limit head 10 at this position will first be squeezed by the gear handle 4 moved here, thereby shrinking into the clamping seat 9 and compressing the spring connected thereto. When the gear handle 4 is completely stuck in the two clamping seats 9, the spring reset will cause the limit head 10 to bounce into the interior of the gear handle 4 along the limit hole on the gear handle 4, thereby fixing the gear handle 4.
