[0024] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiment. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 , combined with a specific embodiment, the following is described: a multifunctional automobile combination switch described in the utility model, which integrates drive mode selection, power mode switching and multi-gear slow speed mode selection, includes a handle 11 and a base 10; the handle 11 is connected to the base 10, the base 10 is connected to the steering column of the car and is located on the right side of the steering wheel; the handle 11 and the base 10 constitute a multi-gear slow speed selection switch, and the multi-gear slow speed selection switch is provided with an off gear, a constant speed gear, a slow speed first gear, a slow speed second gear, a slow speed third gear and a slow speed fourth gear; an E / P mode switching button 1 is provided at the front end of the handle 11, an A / M mode switching knob 4 is provided in the middle of the handle 11, and an plus / minus gear knob 2 located between the E / P mode switching button 1 and the A / M mode switching knob 4 is provided on the handle 11.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The multi-speed deceleration selection switch is composed of six functional gears, including the off gear (i.e., the OFF gear), the constant speed gear, the first deceleration gear, the second deceleration gear, the third deceleration gear, and the fourth deceleration gear. The initial gear position of the handle 11 is at the off gear.

[0027] The constant speed gear function is realized: the driver manipulates the handle 11 to move down 6° to the next gear position, driving the retarder to work and realizing the constant speed driving of the vehicle. After the function is realized, the gear lever is turned back to the OFF gear to turn off the function, and it can also be further turned down to the retarding gear 1 to increase the braking force by 25%.

[0028] The function of slowing down the first gear is realized: when the handle 11 is placed in the constant speed gear, the driver manipulates the handle 11 to move it down 6° to the next gear position, driving the retarder to increase the braking force by 25% to achieve vehicle deceleration. After the function is realized, the lever is turned back to the OFF gear to turn off the function, or it can be further turned down to the slowing down first gear to increase the braking force by 25%;

[0029] The second-gear deceleration function is realized: when the handle 11 is placed in the first-gear deceleration, the driver manipulates the handle 11 to move it downward by 6° to a gear position, driving the retarder to increase the braking force to 50%, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.

[0030] The third-gear slow-down function is realized: when the handle 11 is placed in the second-gear slow-down, the driver manipulates the handle 11 to move it downward by 6° to a gear position, driving the retarder to increase the braking force to 75%, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.

[0031] The fourth-gear slow-down function is realized: when the handle 11 is placed in the third-gear slow-down, the driver manipulates the handle 11 to move 6° downward to a gear position, driving the retarder to work for full braking to achieve vehicle deceleration.

[0032] Specifically, the E / P mode switch button 1 is a self-returning button, and the E-economic mode and the P-power mode can be switched by pressing the handle 11 horizontally. When the vehicle enters the economic mode, the engine will reduce fuel injection and reduce the speed, and cooperate with the high gear of the gearbox to improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. When the vehicle enters the power mode, the engine can exert the maximum power output, the gearbox delays upshifting and downshifts in advance, so that the vehicle has good acceleration and power.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The A / M mode switch knob 4 is a self-returning knob. By rotating the handle 11 longitudinally, the two driving modes A-automatic mode and M-manual mode can be switched. When the vehicle enters the automatic mode, the AMT will automatically select the gear according to the vehicle's operating conditions, and the driver can also intervene. When the vehicle enters the manual mode, the driver operates the gear increase or decrease in the manual mode.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The gear knob 2 is a self-returning knob. When the A / M mode switch knob 4 is rotated to switch to the M-manual mode, the gear of the transmission can be increased by one gear by rotating the handle 11 upward by 25°, and the gear of the transmission can be decreased by one gear by rotating the handle 11 downward by 25°.

[0035] In one of the embodiments, the handle 11 is provided with an identification ring 3 located between the A / M mode switching knob 4 and the plus / minus gear knob 2 .

[0036] In one embodiment, the handle 11 includes a handle upper cover 5 and a handle lower cover 7, and the handle upper cover 5 and the handle lower cover 7 constitute a handle housing. A dust cover 6 is provided at the connection between the handle 11 and the base 10. The dust cover 6 is an umbrella-shaped structure and is integrally connected to the handle housing. The dust cover 6 can not only reduce dust particles from entering the gap between the handle 11 and the base 10, but also reduce the friction of the handle 11 during the operation and transformation, which significantly increases the durability of the use function of the combination switch and prolongs its service life.

[0037] In one embodiment, the base 10 includes a mounting shell 9 and a mounting cover 8 for closing the mounting shell 9, and the mounting shell 9 and the mounting cover 8 constitute the base shell. The base 10 is a structure of upper and lower layers, the upper layer of the base 10 is provided with a gear mechanism, and the lower layer of the base 10 is arranged with an electrical circuit. The gear mechanism includes a planetary gear set and a relay arranged on the upper layer, and the planetary gear set cooperates with the handle 11 to operate, so that the handle 11 is in a corresponding functional state, and the relay can convert the handle 11 operation into an electrical signal, and the signal is output by the pin of the base 10. The electrical circuit includes a wiring harness circuit board arranged on the lower layer, and the wiring harness circuit board can turn on and off the switch power supply through an external circuit, thereby controlling the switch of the functional signal, and the operating mechanism can output the corresponding functional signal through the relay.

[0038] The wiring harness signals of the combination switch are all positive voltage control mode, which simplifies the wiring harness layout, and the wiring harness signal output end is concentrated at the bottom of the base 10. The wiper function wiring harness and the light function wiring harness are plugged into the pins of the base 10, which can facilitate subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby improving the efficiency of wiring harness troubleshooting and reducing labor costs.

[0039] In one embodiment, the power harness in the direction of the handle 11 is connected to the lower side of the base 10 through a braided sleeve. The power harness is not related to the mechanical connection structure of the handle 11. Due to the protection of the braided sleeve, the power harness has good elasticity and extensibility at a reserved length, which reduces the friction of the harness at the connection when the handle 11 is operated.
