Description

Technical Field

[0002] When the speed and gear of a car are not coordinated, the gear needs to be shifted, or when the car is parked or not started, the gear needs to be engaged. Therefore, the gear shifting mechanism is one of the mechanisms that must be used when the car is driving.

[0003] The mainstream equipment of racing cars or sports cars is still manual shifters. In manual shifters, the lower end of the gear lever is universally connected to a fixed base frame through a ball and socket structure, so that different gears can be switched by swinging the gear lever in the left-right direction or the front-back direction. However, the ball and socket structure has a high degree of freedom, which may cause the switching direction to be skewed when the driver swings the gear lever, and is not conducive to the driver's accurate perception, which can easily lead to gear shift errors.
