Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a paddle shift switch. Background Art

[0002] Paddle shifting is a quick way to shift gears, which can greatly improve driving operability. The paddle shifters are generally located behind the steering wheel. When operating the paddle shifters, the driver generally only needs to push the gear into D, S or manual mode. With the paddle shifters, the driver can complete the up and down gear operations without taking his hands off the steering wheel. The existing paddle shift switch realizes shifting by cooperating with magnets and Hall sensors, and its shifting feel is poor, which reduces the user's operating feel. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a paddle shift switch which is comfortable to push and has a good operating feel.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided: a paddle shift switch, comprising a mounting seat, in which a moment switch is mounted, and a mounting opening is provided at one end of the mounting seat; the paddle shift switch also comprises a paddle body and a reset mechanism for resetting the paddle body, the paddle body comprising a rotating seat pivotally connected to the mounting opening, a paddle connected to a side of the rotating seat opposite to the mounting seat, and a paddle tongue arranged toward the rotating seat and located below the moment switch contact, a fixing column is provided on one side of the paddle tongue, a mounting hole is provided on the fixing column, the reset mechanism comprises a reset spring located in the mounting hole and a push rod abutting against the reset spring, an arc groove matching with the push rod is provided in the mounting opening, and the arc groove is opened relative to the swinging direction of the paddle body.

[0005] In the above structure, the moment switch is electrically connected to the circuit board to achieve signal transmission. The user controls the rotating seat by turning the paddle to drive the tongue to swing relative to the pivot point of the mounting seat, so that the tongue pushes the moment switch to achieve the gear change. While the paddle body is swinging, the push rod slides relative to the inner wall of the arc groove, and through the elastic force of the reset spring, it plays a damping role when the user shifts gears through the paddle, thereby increasing the user's feel during operation and improving the comfort of operation of the utility model. After the user shifts the paddle to complete the gear shift, the push rod is reset through the inner wall of the arc groove and the elastic force of the reset spring to facilitate the user's next operation. By setting a rotating seat, the paddle body can be pivotally connected with the mounting seat, and the tongue can be used to control the start of the moment switch, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model.

[0006] The utility model is further configured such that extension parts are extended outwardly on two opposite sides of the installation opening, and the extension parts are pivotally connected with the rotating seat through a pin shaft. The two sides of the end of the installation opening relative to the swing direction of the paddle body are respectively a limit surface and a give way surface, and the give way surface is arranged on the inner side relative to the limit surface. The paddle body provides a rotation space through the give way surface to realize the start of the driving moment switch.

[0007] In the above structure, the rotation stroke of the paddle body can be limited by the limiting surface and the giving surface, and the paddle body can only be moved in one direction in the initial state, which improves the convenience of operation of the utility model. The initial state of the paddle body can be limited by setting the limiting surface, and the giving surface can facilitate the paddle body to be limited after it rotates to the right position, that is, after the control switch sends a signal, which improves the reliability of the utility model.

[0008] The utility model is further configured that the end of the push rod is in the shape of a bullet head, and a positioning groove adapted to the end of the push rod is opened in the center of the arc groove.

[0009] The above structure can facilitate the displacement of the ejector rod along the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, and can facilitate the positioning groove to limit the ejector rod, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a receiving groove is provided at one end of the mounting seat opposite to the mounting opening, a sealing cover adapted thereto is provided at the receiving groove, a mounting column is provided on the side of the sealing cover facing the paddle body, a connecting port adapted thereto is provided in the receiving groove, and a mounting groove for installing a moment switch is provided at the end of the mounting column.

[0011] In the above structure, the installation column can be provided to facilitate the installation of the moment switch and the coordination between the moment switch and the tongue, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model and the coordination efficiency between the tongue and the moment switch.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that the inner end of the communication port is provided with a convex ridge abutting against the inching switch.

[0013] The above structure can improve the stability of the inching switch, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model.

[0014] The utility model is further configured that a protrusion is provided on one side of the cover, and a bayonet matched with the protrusion is provided on the end of the mounting seat.

[0015] In the above structure, the cooperation between the bayonet and the protrusion can improve the stability of the structure between the cover and the mounting seat, and can facilitate the positioning and installation of the cover, thereby improving the reliability and installation convenience of the utility model.

[0016] The utility model is further configured that the outer wall of the installation column is provided with a reinforcing rib which is integrally arranged with the sealing cover.

[0017] The above structure can improve the structural strength of the mounting column, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model.

[0018] The utility model is further configured that a connecting column is provided in the mounting seat, a connecting hole is provided in the axial direction of the connecting column, and a positioning hole corresponding to the connecting hole is provided on the sealing cover.

[0019] In the above structure, the cover is connected and fixed to the mounting seat by screws passing through the positioning holes and being screwed into the connecting holes of the connecting pillars, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and disassembly of the utility model.

[0020] The utility model is further configured that two connecting columns are provided, and the two connecting columns are diagonally arranged.

[0021] By adopting the above structure, the structural strength of the mounting seat can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability of the utility model.

While the paddle body 3 is swinging, the push rod 42 slides and cooperates with the inner wall of the arc groove 111, and through the elastic force of the reset spring 41, it plays a damping role when the user shifts gears through the paddle 32, thereby increasing the user's hand feel during operation and improving the comfort of operation of the utility model. After the user toggles the paddle 32 to complete the gear shift, the push rod 42 is reset through the inner wall of the arc groove 111 and the elastic force of the reset spring 41, so as to facilitate the user's next operation.
