Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear shifting, in particular to an electronic knob gear shifting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are nearly 100 models of vehicles in China that use electronic knob shift control mechanisms, but their appearance and structure are highly similar, all of which are cylindrical, and most of the outer cylindrical surfaces have various patterns and protrusions to increase the friction with the fingers. However, the shift mechanism involves the driving safety of the car, so most of them have a large rotational damping force, which requires the fingers to apply a large rotational torque to the shift mechanism when shifting gears. Therefore, in order to prevent the fingers from slipping, the driver's fingers need to pinch the outer cylindrical surface of the knob shift mechanism to achieve the shifting action. After multiple shifts, the driver's hands are prone to fatigue, and when the driver's fingers pinch the outer cylindrical surface of the knob shift control mechanism, the pattern protrusions on the outer cylindrical surface will embed into the driver's fingers, making the fingers uncomfortable.

[0003] At the same time, the outer cylindrical surface of traditional electronic knob control mechanisms mostly has various patterned protrusions, and dust, sweat, etc. often accumulate between the protrusions. Moreover, due to the dense protrusions, they are extremely difficult to clean. At the same time, the traditional electronic knob shift control mechanism is cylindrical, and the ring finger and little finger often cannot exert force, and it is easy to accidentally touch other buttons. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an electronic knob shift control mechanism, which can not only reduce the local force on the driver's fingers and facilitate the driver's shift operation, but also avoid the disadvantages of traditional shift mechanisms such as easy residue of dust and sweat, and reduce the possibility of misoperation.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides an electronic knob shift control mechanism, including an outer cylindrical shell, a plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed operating components are provided on the outside of the outer cylindrical shell, the outer side of the operating components is smoothly arranged without sharp protrusions, and a P gear operating button is provided on the surface of the outer cylindrical shell.

[0006] Preferably, the operating assembly includes a vertical plate, and the vertical plate includes a first vertical surface and a second vertical surface.

[0007] Preferably, the vertical plate further includes an upper curved surface and a lower curved surface, and the first vertical surface is connected to the second vertical surface via the upper curved surface and the lower curved surface.

[0008] Preferably, the number of the vertical plates is six.

[0009] Preferably, the outer cylindrical shell includes a first plane and a second plane.

[0010] Preferably, a P-shaped groove is provided on the surface of the P gear operation button.

[0011] Therefore, the utility model adopts the above-mentioned electronic knob shift control mechanism, and there are six vertical plates evenly distributed outside the cylindrical surface. The vertical plates can facilitate the driver's finger rotation shift, which changes the previous method of only being able to shift by pinching the outer cylindrical surface.

[0012] The driver can place different fingers between different vertical plates according to his own habits, and can rely on any one or more fingers including the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger to achieve gear shifting operations.

[0013] There are no pattern protrusions on the outer cylindrical surface and the vertical plate surface, avoiding the disadvantages of traditional structure pattern protrusions that are easy to retain dust, sweat, etc. At the same time, there are no sharp corners on the outer cylindrical surface and the vertical plate, which can reduce the local force on the driver's fingers and facilitate the driver's shifting operation.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model provides an electronic knob shift control mechanism, including an outer cylindrical shell 1, a P gear operation button 2 is provided on the surface of the outer cylindrical shell 1, and a P-shaped groove is provided on the surface of the P gear operation button 2, which is more recognizable and convenient for the driver to operate. The parking gear can be engaged through the P gear operation button 2 to achieve parking of the car.

[0023] The outer cylindrical shell 1 is made of ABS material, and includes a first plane 3 and a second plane 4. The surfaces of the first plane 3 and the second plane 4 are both chrome-plated. The chrome-plating makes the outer cylindrical shell 1 more beautiful and convenient to clean.

[0024] A plurality of operating components evenly distributed around the circumference are arranged on the outer side of the outer cylindrical housing 1. The outer cylindrical housing 1 and the operating components are integrally injection molded, which can effectively improve the overall strength of the shift operating mechanism at a limited manufacturing cost. The outer side of the operating component is smoothly arranged without sharp corners and protrusions, which can reduce the local force on the driver's fingers and facilitate the driver's shifting operation.

[0025] The operating assembly includes a vertical plate 7, and the number of vertical plates 7 is six. The vertical plate 7 includes a first vertical surface 5 and a second vertical surface 6. The outer surfaces of the first vertical surface 5 and the second vertical surface 6 are both provided with PVC wear-resistant leather. When the driver performs a gear shift operation, his fingers contact the first vertical surface 5 and the second vertical surface 6. The PVC wear-resistant leather on the outer surfaces of the first vertical surface 5 and the second vertical surface 6 can improve the wear resistance of the vertical plate 7, and at the same time can effectively improve the friction force, so that the driver can perform the gear shift operation conveniently.

[0026] The driver can realize the gear shifting operation by rotating the vertical plate 7 clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the outer cylindrical housing 1 together. The electronic knob gear shifting operation mechanism can realize the switching of five gears, namely R gear, N gear, D gear and P gear.

[0027] After the car is started, the initial state is P gear. Press the P gear operation button 2 to switch the gear to N gear. At this time, if the outer cylindrical shell 1 is rotated counterclockwise, the gear can be switched to R gear, and the driver can control the accelerator pedal to reverse; if it is rotated clockwise one gear, the gear can be switched to D gear, and the driver can control the accelerator pedal to drive the vehicle forward, thereby meeting the driver's normal driving needs.

[0028] The vertical plate 7 also includes an upper curved surface 8 and a lower curved surface 9. The first vertical surface 5 and the second vertical surface 6 are connected by the upper curved surface 8 and the lower curved surface 9. The upper curved surface 8 and the lower curved surface 9 are both chrome-plated. The chrome plating makes the vertical plate 7 more beautiful. At the same time, when the driver performs a gear shift operation, the fingers will be in close contact with the upper curved surface 8 and the lower curved surface 9 of the vertical plate 7. The chrome plating can effectively improve the wear resistance of the upper curved surface 8 and the lower curved surface 9 of the vertical plate 7. If there is dust or stains on the upper curved surface 8 and the lower curved surface 9, they can be cleaned with a wet cloth, which is convenient to clean.

[0029] Therefore, the utility model adopts the above-mentioned electronic knob shift control mechanism, which can not only reduce the local force on the driver's fingers and facilitate the driver's shifting operation, but also avoid the disadvantages of traditional shifting mechanisms such as dust and sweat residue, and reduce the possibility of misoperation.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the utility model with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
