Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle lock components, and in particular to an intelligent vehicle lock on a motorcycle and an electric vehicle and a gear cover structure thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electric vehicles and motorcycles have become an important part of urban transportation, and their increasing number has also brought about the demand for safety and convenience. As a key component to improve the safety of electric vehicles and motorcycles, smart locks have received widespread attention and rapid development in recent years. At present, the smart locks for electric vehicles and motorcycles on the market have made certain progress in terms of safety and convenience, but there are still some problems and shortcomings: some smart locks are complicated to operate during the unlocking process, and the user experience is not good; existing smart locks may lack an effective anti-theft system trigger mechanism and cannot respond in time to unauthorized operations; the electronic components of smart locks are sensitive to water and dust, and the existing design may not provide adequate protection; the knobs and buttons in the existing technology cannot be linked, and may not be flexible enough during operation, and smooth gear shifting and lock operation cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of at least one of the above problems, the present invention proposes a gear cover structure and an intelligent car lock, which can link a knob and a button to achieve smooth gear shifting of the lock, and pressing the button causes the knob to move axially to trigger a micro switch to wake up the electronic anti-theft system to achieve intelligent unlocking.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: The utility model provides a gear cover structure, including: a cover body, a knob, a button and a micro switch.

[0005] The knob includes a knob cover and a knob seat. The knob seat and the cover body rotate in a circumferential direction. The knob cover and the knob seat lock in a circumferential direction and slide in an axial direction. The button and the knob seat are connected to form an interlocking structure. The micro switch is located at the bottom of the cover body. When the button is pressed down to link the knob seat to move axially, the knob seat triggers the micro switch to wake up the electronic anti-theft system for unlocking.

[0006] Since the knob seat and the cover body rotate in circumferential direction, the knob cover and the knob seat are locked in circumferential direction. By rotating the knob cover, the knob seat can be driven to rotate relative to the cover body, and the gear position can be freely adjusted and switched. The button and the knob seat are connected to form an interlocking structure, and the knob cover and the knob seat slide axially. When the button is pressed, the knob seat moves axially, and the knob seat contacts the micro switch, which triggers the micro switch to wake up the electronic anti-theft system for unlocking.

[0007] Specifically, the micro switch has an operating button extending into the interior of the cover body, the knob seat has a circular ring portion, the operating button is opposite to the ring portion of the knob seat, when the button is pressed to link the rotating seat to move axially, the ring portion of the rotating seat will contact the operating button, thereby triggering the micro switch. When the knob cover is turned to adjust the gear position, the ring portion of the knob seat and the operating button are always opposite.

[0008] In some embodiments of the utility model, the knob seat is provided with a limiting groove arranged along its axial direction, and the knob cover is provided with a first limiting block arranged along its axial direction, and the first limiting block is slidably matched in the limiting groove. The limiting groove is arranged along the axial direction of the knob cover, and the knob seat realizes axial sliding fit by moving the first limiting block in the limiting groove, and the first limiting block is arranged in the limiting groove to form a circumferential locking and limiting structure.

[0009] In some embodiments of the utility model, the knob seat is provided with an elastic arm, and the knob cover is provided with a second stopper arranged along its axial direction, and the two second stoppers are arranged parallel to each other and at intervals. The elastic arm is an inclined structure, the second stopper is a slope, and the top of the slope is located on the side away from the button, and the second stopper is also provided with a stopper groove for stopping the elastic arm at a position close to the top of the slope.

[0010] The slope structure of the second limit block can guide the elastic arm to move or slide in a specific direction. Specifically, when the button is pressed down, the elastic arm of the knob seat moves along the slope of the second limit block until it moves to the stop groove and can no longer be pressed down. The inclined elastic arm can disperse and absorb energy more effectively when moving, and the movement is smoother.

[0011] However, it is not limited to this. In addition to the above-mentioned second limit block which can be a strip-shaped slope structure, the second limit block can also be a block-shaped slope structure, that is, two second limit blocks are connected to form a block-shaped integrated structure, which can also realize the axial movement guidance of the elastic arm. However, this block-shaped slope structure may result in a large contact area between the elastic arm and the second limit block, and a large friction resistance. The utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the side of the limit slot close to the button is a gradually expanding structure. When the button is pressed, this structure can assist the first limit block of the knob seat to enter the limit slot quickly, smoothly and accurately.

[0013] In some embodiments of the utility model, the cover body is provided with an annular groove, and the knob seat is provided with an annular portion, which is located in the annular groove and rotates in a circumferential direction. The annular groove is designed to cooperate with the annular portion to position or lock the component to prevent it from moving in an undesirable direction. The cover body and the knob seat rotate in a circumferential direction (i.e., in the direction of a circular trajectory) to freely adjust and switch the gear position.

[0014] In some embodiments of the utility model, the button is provided with a positioning column and a first convex part, the knob seat is provided with a positioning hole and a positioning groove, the positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole, and the first convex part is located in the positioning groove. The button and the knob seat are positioned between the positioning column and the positioning hole, and then further locked by the first convex part and the positioning groove, so that the button and the knob seat can form a stable interlocking structure.

[0015] In some embodiments of the utility model, the gear cover structure also includes a reset spring, the knob seat is provided with a connecting column for connecting to the smart car lock, the reset spring is sleeved on the connecting column, and the two ends of the reset spring respectively abut against the knob seat and the cover body.

[0016] When the button is pressed, the button drives the knob seat to move and exerts pressure on the reset spring, which elastically deforms under the force; when the reset spring is no longer under force, the reset spring loses force and drives the knob seat to reset, thereby resetting the button.

[0017] In some embodiments of the utility model, the button is provided with a socket, and a push door is movably connected to the socket, and the shape of the push door is adapted to the socket. When the push door is opened, the socket is opened, and the key can be inserted to start the smart car lock; when closed, the push door covers the socket to play a waterproof and dustproof role, which can effectively protect the electronic components inside the smart car lock.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the push door is provided with a rotating shaft and a second protrusion, the rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the button, and when the push door is closed, the second protrusion is at the same height as the button.

[0019] In order to facilitate the automatic opening of the push door as the key is inserted, the push door is usually set as a pivoting structure that rotates inwards, but because of this, the height of the push door will be slightly lower than the height of the key, resulting in the easy accumulation of water and dust in this concave area, which may enter the smart car lock as the key is inserted, affecting the internal electronic components. In this application, a second convex portion is provided on the push door, so that the push door can be at the same height as the key when closed, which can be waterproof and dustproof, thereby effectively preventing water or dust and other debris from entering the interior, and the appearance is also more beautiful.

[0020] The utility model also provides an intelligent car lock, including the gear cover structure in the above embodiment, the knob and the button are linked to realize smooth gear shifting of the lock, and pressing the button causes the knob to move axially to trigger the micro switch to wake up the electronic anti-theft system to realize intelligent unlocking.

[0021] In some embodiments of the utility model, the smart car lock also includes a solenoid valve. The existing solenoid valve and the gear cover are fastened by bolts, which makes disassembly and assembly more troublesome. In the present application, the solenoid valve and the cover body are positioned by positioning pins, which is easy to assemble and disassemble. Specifically, the housing of the solenoid valve and the bottom of the cover body are correspondingly provided with through holes, and the positioning pins are inserted into the through holes of the solenoid valve and the cover body for quick positioning. Among them, a positioning convex ring is provided in the middle of the positioning pin. When the positioning pin is inserted into the solenoid valve and the cover body, the positioning convex ring is located between the solenoid valve and the cover body. The positioning convex ring can limit the axial movement of the positioning pin, and the positioning structure is reliable.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: the gear cover structure provided by the present utility model includes: a cover body, a knob, a button and a micro switch. Among them, the knob includes a knob cover and a knob seat, and the button is connected to the knob seat to form an interlocking structure. Pressing the button will cause the knob seat to move axially, and the knob seat will contact the micro switch and trigger the micro switch, quickly waking up the electronic anti-theft system and unlocking the smart car lock. The button is connected to the knob seat to form an interlocking structure, so that the knob and the button are linked to achieve smooth gear shifting and lock operation. The knob can move axially to trigger the micro switch, and can be automatically reset by the internal reset spring. The door design of the button at the jack position not only plays a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, but also is convenient to open when needed, ensuring the beauty and practicality of the product.

[0038] The present invention will be described in detail and completely below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a gear cover structure, including: a cover body 1, a knob 2, a button 3 and a micro switch 4.

[0040] The knob 2 includes a knob cover 21 and a knob seat 22. The knob seat 22 and the cover body 1 are circumferentially rotated and locked together. Rotating the knob cover 21 can drive the knob seat 22 to rotate relative to the cover body 1, thereby freely adjusting and switching the gear position.

[0041] The button 3 is connected with the knob seat 22 to form an interlocking structure, and because the knob cover 21 and the knob seat 22 are axially slidable, the micro switch 4 is located at the bottom of the cover body 1. When the button 3 is pressed, the knob seat 22 moves axially, and the knob seat 22 contacts the micro switch 4, thereby triggering the micro switch 4 to wake up the electronic anti-theft system for unlocking.

[0042] The micro switch 4 has an operating button 41 extending into the cover body 1 . The operating button is opposite to the knob seat 22 . When the button 3 is pressed down to link the rotating seat to move axially, the rotating seat will contact the operating button 41 , thereby triggering the micro switch 4 .

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the knob seat 22 is provided with a limit groove 221 arranged along its axial direction, and the knob cover 21 is provided with a first limit block 211 arranged along its axial direction. The knob seat 22 moves in the limit groove 221 through the first limit block 211 to achieve axial sliding fit. At the same time, the first limit block 211 is arranged in the limit groove 221 to form a circumferential locking and limiting structure. The knob seat 22 and the knob cover 21 are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction.

[0044] Since the axial sliding matching structure between the limiting groove 221 and the first limiting block 211 may cause a jam, the present application provides an elastic arm 222 inclined toward the direction of the knob cover 21 on the knob seat 22, and the knob cover 21 is provided with a second limiting block 212 arranged along its axial direction, and the two second limiting blocks 212 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The second limiting block 212 is a slope, and the top of the slope 212a is located on the side away from the button 3. The second limiting block 212 is also provided with a stop groove 212b for stopping the elastic arm 222 at a position close to the top of the slope 212a. When the button 3 is pressed down, the elastic arm 222 of the knob seat 22 moves along the inclined surface of the second limiting block 212 until the elastic arm 222 moves to the stop groove 212b and is stuck, and cannot be pressed down further. The contact surface of the elastic arm 222 entering and exiting the stop groove 212b is designed as an inclined surface, so that the elastic arm 222 and the second limiting block 212 cooperate smoothly. There may be three groups of sliding fit structures formed between the elastic arms 222 and the two second limit blocks 212 , and they are evenly arranged along the circumference of the knob seat 22 , so that the sliding fit structures are stable and the force is more evenly applied.

[0045] The side of the limiting groove 221 close to the button 3 is a gradually expanding structure. The gradually expanding trumpet-shaped structure can assist the first limiting block 211 of the knob seat 22 to quickly find its position and smoothly enter the limiting groove 221 .

[0046] The cover body 1 is provided with an annular groove 11, and the knob seat 22 is provided with an annular portion 223. The annular portion 223 is located in the annular groove 11 and is rotatably matched in the circumferential direction, so as to freely adjust and switch the gear position.

The button 3 is also provided with a first convex portion 32, the knob seat 22 is provided with a positioning groove 225 corresponding to the first convex portion 32, and the first convex portion 32 is located in the positioning groove 225. Among them, the positioning column 31 and the first convex portion 32 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the button 3 and the knob seat 22 can form a stable interlocking structure through two position locking.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the gear cover structure also includes a reset spring 5, and the knob seat 22 is provided with a connecting column 226 for connecting with the smart car lock. The reset spring 5 is sleeved on the connecting column 226, and the two ends of the reset spring 5 are respectively against the knob seat 22 and the cover body 1. When the button 3 is pressed down, the button 3 moves axially with the knob seat 22, which will exert pressure on the reset spring 5, and the reset spring 5 will be elastically deformed under the force; after the force is removed, the reset spring 5 loses its force and returns to its original state, which will drive the knob seat 22 to reset, thereby realizing the reset of the button 3.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the button 3 is provided with a socket 33, and the button 3 is movably connected to a push door 6 at the socket 33. The push door 6 is provided with a rotating shaft 61 and a second protrusion 62. The rotating shaft 61 is pivoted to the button 3. When the push door 6 is closed, the second protrusion 62 is at the same height as the button 3. In order to facilitate the automatic opening of the push door 6 as the key is inserted, the push door 6 is usually set as a pivoting structure that rotates inward, but because of this, the height of the push door 6 will be slightly lower than the height of the button 3, causing this concave part to easily accumulate water and dust, which may enter the smart car lock as the key is inserted, affecting the internal electronic components. In the present application, a second protrusion 62 is provided on the push door 6, so that the push door 6 can be at the same height as the button 3 when closed, which can be waterproof and dustproof, thereby effectively preventing water accumulation or debris such as dust from entering the interior, and the appearance is also more beautiful.
