[0019] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the shift handle quick disassembly mechanism of this embodiment includes a shift handle upper rod 1 and a shift handle lower rod 2. One end of the shift handle upper rod 1 is detachably connected to one end of the shift handle lower rod 2 through a quick disassembly component 3.

[0021] The shift handle quick disassembly mechanism of the present embodiment has a split-type structure, comprising an upper shift handle rod 1 and a lower shift handle rod 2. The lower end of the lower shift handle rod 2 is connected to the shifter shaft inside the control box, and its upper end extends out of the control box. The lower end of the upper shift handle rod 1 and the upper end of the lower shift handle rod 2 are connected by a quick disassembly assembly 3, enabling quick and convenient disassembly and assembly. When building a berth or other similar needs, it is necessary to limit the height of the shift handle, that is, if the shift handle is too high, it will affect the berth's laying effect. The upper shift handle rod 1 can be quickly removed by the quick disassembly assembly 3. After removing the berth, it is necessary to restore the shift handle to its original height. The upper shift handle rod 1 can be assembled with the lower shift handle rod 2 by the quick disassembly assembly 3. Overall, the structural design is reasonable and ingenious, enabling quick disassembly and assembly of the upper and lower shift handle rods, making operation very convenient. The shift handle can be changed in length by quick insertion and removal.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the shift handle upper rod 1 is provided with a socket 11 , one end of the shift handle lower rod 2 is inserted into the socket 11 , and the two are assembled through a quick disassembly assembly 3 .

[0023] In the above embodiment, the upper shift handle rod 1 and the lower shift handle rod 2 adopt a plug-in assembly structure without threaded connection, and the disassembly and assembly of the two are convenient and quick.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned quick disassembly and assembly component 3 includes a circular knurled sleeve 31, an elastic member 32, a plurality of balls 33 and a limit member 34. The outer surface of one end of the above-mentioned shift handle upper rod 1 is coaxially provided with a first annular groove 12, and the wall surface of the above-mentioned first annular groove 12 is coaxially provided with a second annular groove 13 with a diameter smaller than it. The above-mentioned second annular groove 13 extends to one end portion of the above-mentioned shift handle upper rod 1, one end of the above-mentioned knurled sleeve 31 is sleeved on the wall surface of the above-mentioned first annular groove 12, and the inner surface of the other end of the above-mentioned knurled sleeve 31 is protrudingly provided with an annular limit portion 311, and the above-mentioned limit portion 311 is embedded in the above-mentioned second annular groove 13, the above-mentioned elastic member 32 is connected between the end wall of the above-mentioned first annular groove 12 and one end wall of the limit portion 311, and a capacity is defined between the inner surface of the other end of the above-mentioned knurled sleeve 31 and the other end wall of the above-mentioned limit portion 311. The receiving groove 312, the above-mentioned limiting member 34 is embedded in the wall surface of the above-mentioned second annular groove 13 near the end of one end of the above-mentioned shift handle upper rod 1, and contacts and cooperates with the end of the above-mentioned limiting portion 311. The side wall of the above-mentioned second annular groove 13 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of ball holes 131 penetrating its side wall, and the multiple above-mentioned balls 33 are installed in the above-mentioned ball holes 131 one by one. The outer surface of one end of the above-mentioned shift handle lower rod 2 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of engaging grooves 21 that engage with the above-mentioned balls 33 one by one. The above-mentioned knurled sleeve 31 is used to move to the end wall of the above-mentioned first annular groove 12 under the action of external force, and compress the above-mentioned elastic member 32, and separate the above-mentioned limiting portion 311 from the above-mentioned balls 33, or after the external force is removed, the above-mentioned limiting portion 311 is pushed to move to the inner wall surface and contact the above-mentioned balls 33 under the elastic force of the above-mentioned elastic member 32.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the structure after the upper lever 1 of the shift handle and the lower lever 2 of the shift handle are assembled and combined is as follows: Figure 3As shown, in this state, one end of the shift handle lower rod 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 11 at one end of the shift handle upper rod 1, and at the same time, the ball 33 located in the ball hole 131 partially extends from the inner hole of the ball hole 131 and is embedded in the fitting groove 21 on the outer surface of one end of the shift handle lower rod 2. At the same time, the part of the ball 33 located at the outer hole of the ball hole 131 is against the inner surface of the limiting portion 311. At the same time, the elastic member 32 is in an extended state, and the elastic force acts on the end wall of one end of the limiting portion 311, so that the other end wall of the limiting portion 311 is against the limiting member 34, thereby maintaining the state of the ball 33 being well embedded in the fitting groove 21, that is, the shift handle upper rod 1 and the shift handle lower rod 2 are connected through the knurled sleeve 3 1 The limiting ball 33 is well fitted into the fitting groove 21, thereby achieving a stable assembly between the upper rod 1 of the shift handle and the lower rod 2 of the shift handle. When the lower rod 2 of the shift handle needs to be removed, an external force acts on the knurled sleeve 31, causing the knurled sleeve 31 to move toward the other end of the lower rod 1 of the shift handle and compress the elastic member 32. The limiting portion 311 will move along the surface of the ball 33 with the movement of the knurled sleeve 31 until the accommodating groove 312 moves to the current position of the ball 33. At this time, the limiting portion 311 is separated from the ball 33 and no longer applies an inward squeezing force (restriction) to the ball 33. Therefore, the ball 33 is "released", and one end of the lower rod 2 of the shift handle can be pulled out of the socket 11 at one end of the upper rod 1 of the shift handle. In other words, the entire removal process only requires an external force to move the knurled sleeve 31. After removal, the external force is removed, the elastic member 32 returns to its original state, and the elastic force drives the knurled sleeve 31 to move back to its original position (such as Figure 5 (as shown) until the other end wall of the stopper 311 again abuts against the stopper 34. During installation, similar external force is applied to move the knurled sleeve 31 toward the other end of the shift handle upper rod 1, compressing the elastic member 32. Once fully inserted, the knurled sleeve 31 is released. The elastic force of the elastic member 32 causes the knurled sleeve 31 to naturally return to its original position, allowing the stopper 311 to "compress" the ball 33 again, ensuring a secure fit within the engagement groove 21. The overall structural design is highly ingenious, making assembly and disassembly extremely simple and quick.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fitting groove 21 is a hemispherical groove adapted to the shape of the ball 33 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the distance between the inner wall of the receiving groove 312 and the second annular groove 13 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 33. This design prevents the ball 33 from falling out of the receiving groove 312 and always keeps a part of it in the ball hole 131.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the inner opening of the ball hole 131 (a circular hole) is narrowed in a trumpet shape, and the diameter of the inner opening (circular) of the ball hole 131 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 33 .

[0029] In the above embodiment, the narrowing setting of the inner opening of the ball hole 131 prevents the ball 33 from falling out of the inner opening of the ball hole 131. That is to say, even after the upper rod 1 of the shift handle is removed, the ball 33 will always be in the ball hole 131 and move in the ball hole 131, and will not fall out of the ball hole 131 from the inside or outside.

[0030] In this embodiment, the stopper 34 is an unclosed annular member and is coaxially distributed with the second annular groove 13. During installation, the unclosed portion of the stopper 34 (i.e., an open ring) is opened by external force and snapped into the second annular groove 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, the elastic member 32 is a spring of an appropriate type and is sleeved in the second annular groove 13 .

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned socket 11 includes a coaxially arranged first positioning hole and a second combining hole, the diameter of the above-mentioned second combining hole is larger than the diameter of the above-mentioned first positioning hole, and the above-mentioned second combining hole extends to one end portion of the above-mentioned shift handle upper rod 1, and the corresponding one end portion of the above-mentioned shift handle lower rod 2 is coaxially provided with a first positioning column (represented by c in the figure) with a diameter smaller than the first positioning column, the above-mentioned first positioning column is inserted into the above-mentioned first positioning hole, and one end of the above-mentioned shift handle lower rod 2 is inserted into the above-mentioned second combining hole, and there is a conical transition between the above-mentioned first positioning column and one end portion of the above-mentioned shift handle lower rod 2.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the "stepped" structural design of the socket 11 makes it small inside and large outside (that is, the diameter is small at the deep end and large at the hole mouth). Combined with the design of the first positioning column at one end of the lower rod 2 of the shift handle, during the process of inserting one end of the lower rod 2 of the shift handle into the socket 11, since the diameter of the first positioning column is smaller than the diameter of the second combining hole, the first positioning column can easily enter the second combining hole, and the insertion is faster and more convenient.

[0034] In this embodiment, the other end wall of the stopper 311 is configured as a tapered surface. Before the knurled sleeve 31 is released, this tapered surface contacts the ball 33 partially within the receiving groove 312. When the knurled sleeve 31 is released, the elastic force of the elastic member 32 acts on the end wall of the stopper 311, causing the ball 33 to move relative to the tapered surface until it abuts (or contacts) the inner surface of the stopper 311. This tapered surface design facilitates the relative rolling of the ball 33 along its surface without causing any obstruction.
