One end of the plurality of self-tapping screws 20 is threadedly connected to the surface cover 37. A movable seat 21 is provided in the second middle shell 27, and a middle shell gear 22 is fixedly sleeved on the screw shaft 13. A plug seat 25 is provided on the second middle shell 27, and a small screw 26 is provided between the plug seat 25 and the second middle shell 27. Two symmetrical magnet seats 23 are provided in the plug seat 25, and strong magnets 24 are provided in the two magnet seats 23. An electronic board 42 is placed on the second middle shell 27, an electronic shading plate 41 is provided on the electronic board 42, and a silicone pad 29 is placed on the electronic board 42. The silicone pad 29 can protect the electronic board 42, and a circular hole is provided on the silicone pad 29, and a shaft sleeve 40 is provided in the circular hole.

[0034] In this embodiment, a middle shell 39 is provided on the electronic board 42, and a plurality of self-tapping screws 28 are threadedly connected between the middle shell 39 and the electronic board 42. A light guide cover 38 is sleeved on the middle shell 39, and a light guide seat 30 is inserted into the light guide cover 38 on the middle shell 39. A plurality of light guide strips 31 are provided on the light guide seat 30. A decorative piece 32 is provided on the top of the light guide seat 30 and on the plurality of light guide strips 31. The plurality of light guide strips 31 are used for brightening effect. A surface cover 37 is located on the middle shell 39, and a circular hole is opened on the surface cover 37.

[0036] The implementation principle of a vehicle shift knob switch according to the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, the operator pulls the protective cover 45 through the protruding pull rod 46 to rotate with the rotating rod 44 as the fulcrum and away from the knob key 36. At the same time, the operator presses the knob key 36 to start the motor 8 through the solenoid valve 4. The output shaft of the motor 8 drives the gear 2 6 to rotate. Since the gear 2 6 and the gear 1 14 are meshed and connected with the transmission chain 15, the gear 14 and the gear 2 6 rotate at the same time. The gear 14 drives the screw shaft 13 to rotate, and the screw shaft 13 drives the shaft core 10 to rotate, and drives the middle shell gear 22 to rotate. At the same time, the two strong magnets 24 are displaced to achieve the effect of shifting. When multiple light guide strips 31 are lit, the outer ring of the knob key 36 can be illuminated, making it easier to find the knob key 36 at night. When the gear shift is not in use, the bald pull rod 46 can be pulled to drive the protective cover 45 to rotate with the rotating rod 44 as the fulcrum, and the protective cover 45 is horizontally located on the cover 37, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the knob key 36 and avoiding accidental contact and causing inevitable accidents. The entire device is connected to a power supply and a main control button, which is controlled by the main control button. Since the equipment matched with the control button is a commonly used equipment and belongs to the existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be repeated here.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The rest of the embodiment 2 is the same as the embodiment 1, except that: a positive magnet 47 is provided at one end of the bottom of the protective cover 45, and a negative magnet 48 is provided on the surface cover 37. The positive magnet 47 cooperates with the negative magnet 48. When the protective cover 45 is horizontally located on the surface cover 37, the positive magnet 47 and the negative magnet 48 can be used to attract each other to achieve the effect of fixing the protective cover 45. This application includes all the structural shapes, sizes and materials of the embodiment 1. In order to meet the specific usage conditions, they can all be selected and adjusted. The accompanying drawings are all schematic structural diagrams, and the specific actual sizes can be appropriately adjusted.

[0039] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of this embodiment, but the protection scope of this embodiment is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of this embodiment within the technical scope disclosed in this embodiment, and they should be covered by the protection scope of this embodiment.
