Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gear shifters, and more specifically to a gear shifter with a guiding and positioning function. Background Art

[0002] In a knob-type shifter, the user rotates the knob assembly to a different gear position, and shifting is achieved by identifying the current position of the knob assembly. In the document with publication number CN108343735A, a knob-type shifter is proposed. When the knob-type shifter needs to be operated, the knob is located inside the cavity of the shell, and is not easily touched by mistake to cause misoperation. When the knob-type shifter needs to be operated to switch gears, the driving mechanism drives the knob to move out of the shell, which is convenient for the user to operate the button. The above-mentioned shifter is always inside the cavity of the shell during use. During the shifting process, the driving mechanism is used to push the knob out of the cavity, but the driving mechanism needs a certain amount of time to push the knob, resulting in the driving mechanism being difficult to react quickly to push the knob out during the driving of the car, which is very likely to cause traffic accidents and has low safety. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a downward bending bar and an inner moving bar installed at the rear end of the downward bending bar, and balls are movably installed on both sides of one end of the inner moving bar, and the outer surface of the ball contacts the inner wall of the T-shaped moving groove.

[0009] Preferably, compression springs B are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the downward bending strip, and the bottom ends of the compression springs B are connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the fixed tube.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a circular hole plate and an insertion rod installed at the bottom end of the circular hole plate, a limiting circular plate is installed at the bottom end of the insertion rod, and the limiting circular plate is arranged inside the inverted T-shaped pressure hole, and the top end of the compression spring A is installed at the bottom end of the limiting circular plate.

[0011] Preferably, a knob is movably mounted on the top of the circular hole plate, an outer connecting ring is mounted on the outer surface of the knob, and an L-shaped pressure strip is mounted on the outer surface of the outer connecting ring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) The utility model provides a shifter with a guiding and positioning function. When shifting gears, a finger is inserted into the interior of a fixed tube, and the finger drives the knob to rotate inside the fixed tube. At this time, the L-shaped pressure strip moves at the top end of the downward pressure bent strip. After the shifting gears are completed, the knob is pressed down, the circular hole plate moves down inside the fixed tube, the insertion rod and the limit circular plate move down inside the inverted T-shaped pressure hole, and the compression spring A is deformed by the pressure. At this time, the L-shaped pressure strip presses down the downward pressure bent strip, and the compression spring B contracts. The downward pressure bent strip presses the voice player when it moves down, and the voice player generates voice. The sound is transmitted through the dustproof net, so that the driver can know the gear shifting of the car through voice.

[0015] (2) The utility model provides a shifter with a guiding and positioning function. After pressing, the compression spring B and the compression spring A will push up the lower pressure bending bar and the limiting circular plate, and the rotating mechanism will move up as a whole and remain inside the fixed tube, thereby preventing the driver from accidentally touching the shifter while driving. When the lower pressure bending bar moves up and down, the inner moving bar drives the ball to move up and down inside the T-shaped shifting groove, thereby limiting the moving position of the lower pressure bending bar and preventing the lower pressure bending bar from being misplaced when it moves down.

A T-shaped shifting groove 117 is opened on the inner wall of the fixed tube 111 and above the voice player 116, and the position where the voice player 116 is set is on the outer side of the inverted T-shaped pressure hole 114. The adjustment mechanism 12 includes a downward bending strip 121 and an inner moving strip 123 installed at the rear end of the downward bending strip 121, and a ball bearing 1 is movably installed on both sides of one end of the inner moving strip 123. 24, and the outer surface of the ball 124 contacts the inner wall of the T-shaped displacement groove 117, compression springs B122 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the downward pressure bending strip 121, and the bottom end of the compression spring B122 is connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the fixed tube 111, the rotating mechanism 13 includes a circular hole plate 131 and a plug rod 132 installed at the bottom end of the circular hole plate 131, a limiting circular plate 133 is installed at the bottom end of the plug rod 132, and the limiting circular plate 133 is arranged inside the inverted T-shaped pressure hole 114, and the top end of the compression spring A115 is installed at the bottom end of the limiting circular plate 133, a knob 134 is movably installed at the top end of the circular hole plate 131, an outer connecting ring 135 is installed on the outer surface of the knob 134, and an L-shaped pressure strip 136 is installed on the outer surface of the outer connecting ring 135.

[0026] In this embodiment: when shifting gears, insert a finger into the interior of the fixed tube 111, and the finger drives the knob 134 to rotate inside the fixed tube 111.
