[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] The present utility model is a gear position simulator for a manual transmission vehicle. Please refer to Figure 1-6, including a frame 1, a baffle rod 2, a rotating seat 3, a first connecting shaft 4, a second connecting shaft 5, a swinging member 6, a pin 7 and a driving device 8. The rotating seat 3 is rotatably arranged in the frame 1 through the first connecting shaft 4. A through groove 9 is provided at the center of the rotating seat 3. The second connecting shaft 5 is arranged in the through groove 9, and the first connecting shaft 4 is vertically arranged with the second connecting shaft 5. The baffle rod 2 is rotatably arranged on the second connecting shaft 5. A gear groove 10 is provided at the bottom end of the frame 1. One end of the baffle rod 2 extends into the gear groove 10. In this embodiment, the baffle rod 2 can be fixed in the frame 1 by the first connecting shaft 4 and the second connecting shaft 5, so as to ensure that the baffle rod 2 can swing in any direction of front, back, left, right, and right in the gear groove 10 (that is, one end of the baffle rod 2 extending into the gear groove 10 can reciprocate between the various gears of the gear groove 10); secondly, the swinging member 6 is arranged on the rotating seat 3. On the moving seat 3, there is also a clamping hole 11 on the swinging member 6, and the driving device 8 is arranged on the frame 1. The driving end of the driving device 8 is connected to the ejector pin 7. In actual use, the driving device 8 is connected to the clutch in the car simulator, and the driving device 8 is controlled by the clutch. In use, when it is necessary to step on the clutch to engage the gear, the clutch sends a signal to the driving device 8. At this time, the driving device 8 drives the ejector pin 7 to move away from the swinging member 6, and releases the restriction of the ejector pin 7 on the swinging member 6, so that the trainee can operate the gear lever 2 to change the gear. When the gear lever 2 moves to the gear position in the gear slot 10, the rotating seat 3 drives the swinging member 6 to swing, so that the clamping hole 11 corresponding to the gear position on the swinging member 6 is aligned with the ejector pin 7. At this time, the trainee releases the clutch, and the clutch drives the ejector pin 7 to pass through the clamping hole 11 again through the driving device 8, so as to complete the gear engaging action. In this embodiment, the gear simulator and the clutch are linked and coordinated through the swinging member 6, the ejector pin 7 and the driving device 8, which greatly increases the user experience of the gear simulator.

[0033] In this embodiment, it also includes a fixed seat 12, a first slide bar 13 and a slider 14. The fixed seat 12 is arranged on the frame 1, the first slide bar 13 and the driving device 8 are arranged on the fixed seat 12, the slider 14 is slidably arranged on the first slide bar 13, the ejector pin 7 is arranged on the slider 14, the driving end of the driving device 8 is connected to the slider 14, and the driving device 8 drives the ejector pin 7 to move through the slider 14. In this embodiment, the movement trajectory of the slider 14 is limited by the first slide bar 13, so that the slider 14 and the ejector pin 7 can only slide along the direction of the first slide bar 13, which greatly increases the stability of the ejector pin 7 during movement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the driving device 8 is an electromagnet telescopic driving device 8. Generally, the electromagnet telescopic driving device 8 consists of an electromagnet driving device 8 and a push rod (i.e., the driving end of the driving device 8). Utilizing the magnetostrictive principle, the magnitude of the electromagnetic force is controlled by controlling the magnitude of the current in the coil within the electromagnet driving device 8, thereby driving the push rod to generate a corresponding displacement. More preferably, based on the electromagnet telescopic driving device 8 serving as the driving device 8, a first spring member 15 is further included in this embodiment. The first spring member 15 is sleeved on the first sliding rod 13. During use, when the driving device 8 drives the thimble 7 away from the swinging member 6, at this time, the slider 14 presses the first spring member 15. And since there is no contact transmission between the electromagnet driving device 8 and the push rod in the electromagnet telescopic driving device 8, when the thimble 7 is inserted into the card hole 11 again, it is not necessary for the electromagnet driving device 8 to do work on the push rod, and the compressed first spring member 15 can push the slider 14 to move.

[0035] In this embodiment, two first sliding rods 13 are provided on the fixed seat 12, and the slider 14 is slidably connected to both first sliding rods 13 at the same time. The stability of the movement of the thimble 7 is further enhanced by the two first sliding rods 13.

[0036] In this embodiment, a damper 16 is further included. The damper 16 is disposed on the side wall of the rotating seat 3. When the shift lever 2 moves to the gear position in the gear slot 10, the movement of the shift lever 2 is hindered by the damper 16, making the feel of the trainee when practicing gear shifting more realistic.

[0037] Specifically, the damper 16 includes a snap member 17 and an elastic thimble 18. The snap member 17 is disposed on the outer side wall of the rotating seat 3. One side surface of the snap member 17 away from the rotating seat 3 is arc-shaped, and the arc is centered on the axis of the second connecting shaft 5. Multiple groups of card slots 19 are further provided on the side surface of the snap member 17 away from the rotating seat 3. The multiple groups of card slots 19 are circumferentially distributed along the arc. The elastic thimble 18 is disposed on the frame 1. When the shift lever 2 moves to the gear position in the gear slot 10, the elastic thimble 18 is placed in the card slot 19 and is snap-connected to the snap member 17.

[0038] In this embodiment, the gear simulator further includes two sets of connecting members 20, a push rod 21 and a second spring member 22. The two sets of connecting members 20 are arranged at the bottom end of the rotating seat 3 and are oppositely arranged on both sides of the gear lever 2. The connecting member 20 is provided with a through hole, and the push rod 21 is slidably arranged on the connecting member 20 through the through hole. A push block 23 is further provided at one end of the push rod 21 facing the gear lever 2. The push rod 21 contacts the gear lever 2 through the push block 23. The second spring member 22 is sleeved on the push rod 21. One end of the second spring member 22 contacts the connecting member 20, and the other end abuts against the push block 23. When the gear lever 2 rotates around the second connecting shaft 5, the gear lever 2 pushes the push rod 21 to press the second spring member 22 through the push block 23. After the trainee releases the gear lever 2, the second spring member 22 pushes the gear lever 2 to automatically return to the vertical state through the push block 23, that is, by enabling the gear lever 2 to automatically return to the neutral position, thereby making the gear simulator more realistic.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gear simulator further includes a limit block 24. The limit block 24 is arranged at one end of the push rod 21 away from the gear lever 2, and the limit block 24 can effectively prevent the push rod 21 from disengaging from the connecting member 20 during use.

[0040] In this embodiment, the gear simulator further includes a ball shaft 25. The ball shaft 25 is arranged on the gear lever 2, and the gear lever 2 contacts the push block 23 through the ball shaft 25, so that the gear lever 2 can more easily push the push block 23 to move during the swinging process.

[0041] The above only discloses several specific embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes that can be thought of by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
