Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive steering column switches, and particularly to a gear seat on an automotive steering column switch. Background Art
[0002] There are two forms of gear lever arrangements for automobiles: floor shift and steering column shift. When the automotive gear lever is located at the lower right of the steering wheel, it is called a steering column shift.
[0003] In the prior art, the gear arrangements of the steering column shift are usually on the same axis (X-axis). When shifting gears, it is necessary to move the handle left or right from the initial gear position (home position) to reach the neutral gear (N gear), reverse gear (R gear), and drive gear (D gear). From the initial gear position H, gently moving the handle left or right can reach the first neutral gear N1 and the second neutral gear N2. Moving the handle left from the initial gear position H to the end can switch the gear to the drive gear D, and moving the handle right to the end can switch to the reverse gear R. Since there is no clear operation feedback when switching between the first neutral gear N1 and the second neutral gear N2, with a slightly greater force, it is easy to switch to the drive gear D or the reverse gear R, resulting in misoperation and affecting the driving experience and driving safety. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a gear seat on an automotive steering column switch, which can prevent misoperation during the manual operation of the steering column shift and improve the smoothness and comfort during the manual operation.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model: A gear seat on an automotive steering column switch includes a seat body. The seat body is provided with a first gear slot, a second gear slot arranged along the Y-axis direction, and a third gear slot and a fourth gear slot arranged along the X-axis direction. The first gear slot is located at the upper end of the second gear slot, and the third gear slot and the fourth gear slot are respectively located on both sides of the second gear slot. The first gear slot is provided with a first positioning groove, the second gear slot is provided with a second positioning groove, the third gear slot is provided with a third positioning groove, and the fourth gear slot is provided with a fourth positioning groove. A first arc transition surface is arranged between the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove, a second arc transition surface is arranged between the third positioning groove and the second positioning groove, and a third arc transition surface is arranged between the fourth positioning groove and the second positioning groove.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, after the handle is moved from the initial position H to the neutral gear N, the operations of the reverse gear R or the drive gear D can be carried out. In this way, misoperation can be prevented. When shifted to the neutral gear N, it can automatically reset to the initial position H. After being shifted to the neutral gear N and then simultaneously shifted to the reverse gear R or the drive gear D, it can self-reset to the initial position H. Positioning grooves are arranged in each gear slot, and adjacent positioning grooves are connected by arc transition surfaces, which can improve the gear clarity. The arc transition surfaces can improve the smoothness and comfort during the operation.
[0007] Further setting of the present utility model: The seat body is provided with a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion. The first recessed portion is located at the upper end of the second recessed portion. The two recessed portions are arranged in an inverted T shape. The depth of the second recessed portion is shallower than that of the first recessed portion. The first gear position groove and the first arc transition surface are arranged in the first recessed portion. The second gear position groove, the third gear position groove, the fourth gear position groove, the second arc transition surface and the third arc transition surface are arranged in the second recessed portion. The depths of the third gear position groove and the fourth gear position groove are shallower than that of the second gear position groove.
[0008] With the above further setting, when the end of the gear position pin is located in the third gear position groove or the fourth gear position groove or the second gear position groove, it can automatically return to the first gear position groove along the arc transition surface under the action of the spring.
[0009] Still further setting of the present utility model: The first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are arranged along the X-axis direction, and the third positioning groove and the fourth positioning groove are arranged along the Y-axis direction.
[0010] With the above still further setting, the gear position clarity is more obvious, and there can be a more obvious operation feedback to avoid misoperation.
[0011] Even further setting of the present utility model: The seat body is provided with an extension portion. The extension portion is provided with a first positioning surface, a second positioning surface and a third positioning surface. The first positioning surface corresponds to the first gear position groove, the second positioning surface corresponds to the third gear position groove, and the third positioning surface corresponds to the fourth gear position groove.
[0012] With the above even further setting, when the handle is in the positioning groove, it is in limit fit with the corresponding positioning surface, reducing the shaking amount of the long cantilever of the handle and improving the stability of signal output. Description of the Drawings
