[0018] The driving positions of drivers in left-hand drive vehicles and right-hand drive vehicles are different, so the positions of corresponding buttons on the handball of the shift controller also need to be changed when in use. The positions of buttons in the existing electronic shift controller handball are fixed, and the handball can only be applied to left-hand drive vehicles or right-hand drive vehicles. In addition, individual drivers cannot change the positions of buttons according to their own needs due to different personal habits. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a handball capable of adjusting the positions of unlocking buttons and P-gear buttons to meet the individual needs of drivers or the requirements of left-hand drive vehicles and right-hand drive vehicles for the positions of buttons on the handball.

[0019] As Figures 1-7As shown, the embodiment provides a hand ball of electronic gear shifter for vehicle, which comprises a hand ball framework 1, a control board assembly 2, an unlocking button assembly 7, a P-gear button assembly 6 and an outer decorative cover, the outer decorative cover is detachably installed on the hand ball framework 1; the control board assembly 2 is installed on the hand ball framework 1 and comprises a main control board 21, a vice control board 22 and a flexible button plate 23, the main control board 21 is horizontally arranged, the vice control board 22 is vertically arranged, and the main control board 21 and the vice control board 22 are connected through a plug wire; the flexible button plate 23 is arranged on the main control board 21, and after being bent downward on the left and right sides, forms button touch plates 231 and is located outside the vice control board 22; a plurality of trigger air bags 232 are arranged on each button touch plate 231; the outer decorative cover comprises an upper cover assembly 3, a lower cover assembly 5 and a side wall decorative plate 4 arranged between the upper cover assembly 3 and the lower cover assembly 5, the side wall decorative plate 4 is in U shape; the hand ball framework 1 is composed of an assembly seat 11 and a gear lever assembly sleeve 19 arranged at the lower end of the assembly seat 11, left and right installation grooves 12 and 13 for assembling the button touch plates 231 and the vice control board 22 are symmetrically arranged on the assembly seat 11, first and second key grooves 14 and 15 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right side surfaces of the assembly seat 11; one end of the unlocking button assembly 7 and the P-gear button assembly 6 is movably sleeved on one side of the side wall decorative plate 4, and the other end is arranged in the first and second key grooves 14 and 15 respectively and in contact with the trigger air bags 232 on the flexible button plate 23; the trigger air bags 232 can be elastically deformed after the unlocking button assembly 7 or the P-gear button assembly 6 is pressed, contact and communicate with the contact on the vice control board 22, and after the pressing is finished, elastically deform, return to the initial position and disconnect with the vice control board 22. In this way, by arranging the key grooves and the installation grooves on the hand ball framework 1 as left-right symmetrical structure, and arranging the unlocking button assembly 7, the P-gear button assembly 6 and the side wall decorative plate 4 as detachable structure, when the car needs to be exported to a country using right-hand drive car, the unlocking button assembly 7, the P-gear button assembly 6 and the side wall decorative plate 4 can be directly installed after being reversed, so as to realize the reversing of the unlocking button and the P-gear button and meet the demand of right-hand drive car. At the same time, since the left and right installation grooves 12 and 13 are symmetrically arranged on the hand ball framework 1, when the button assembly is reversed, the vice control board 22 in the control board assembly 2 can also be reversed to the same side of the two button assemblies as needed, meeting the demand of button triggering. The setting can mirror rotate and assemble the unlocking button, the P-gear button, the side wall decorative plate 4 and the control board assembly 2 according to the used environment, so as to meet the use demand of left-hand drive car to right-hand drive car, without the need of opening mold again for right-hand drive car, effectively saving development cost, and also meeting the direction selection of domestic drivers for the buttons on the hand ball for self-upgrading and switching.The flexible key plate 23 in the control panel assembly 2 has two key touch plates 231, which are symmetrically arranged left and right and each has a plurality of trigger air bags 232 in contact with the key assembly. When the key assembly or the P-gear key assembly 6 is pressed, the trigger air bags 232 are pushed to move to the sub-control panel 22 and contact the contact on the sub-control panel 22 to realize conduction. At the same time, due to the resilience of the trigger air bags 232, after the pressing is completed and no external force is applied, the trigger air bags 232 will return to the original position under the rebounding effect and promote the unlocking key assembly 7 or the P-gear key assembly 6 to return to the original position. This setting can meet the requirement that the sub-control panel 22 has trigger air bags 232 corresponding to the key assembly on different sides to realize the conduction triggering of the unlocking or P-gear signal.

In this way, the trigger air bags 232 are in the shape of a round cap and thus contact the key assembly in a surface-to-surface manner, which can quickly deform after receiving external force. The nickel particle inside the trigger air bag 232 can correspond to the gold plating on the sub-control panel 22. When the nickel particle contacts the gold plating, the signal conduction can be realized.
