Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shift paddles, in particular to a shift paddle. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of automobile technology, driving experience has become the focus of common concern for automobile manufacturers and consumers. As a common configuration in modern high-performance cars, paddle shifters provide drivers with a more direct and convenient way to shift gears. However, the traditional paddle shifter design has limitations in some aspects, which restrict the driver's operating experience and safety.
[0003] Traditional shift paddles are usually fixed on the steering wheel, and their position and angle cannot be adjusted. This design may cause operational inconvenience for drivers of different heights, hand lengths or driving habits. For example, some drivers may feel that the position of the paddles is too high or too low, resulting in unnecessary adjustment of the hand position when shifting gears, which distracts driving attention and increases driving risks. In addition, traditional shift paddles usually need to rely on specific clamps or screws when installed. These installation methods not only increase manufacturing and installation costs, but also make the position of the paddles difficult to adjust once installed. This not only limits the customization of the car, but also makes repairs and replacements more difficult. Utility Model Content
