Traditional motorcycles mostly use foot-operated gear shifting. While this design fulfills functional requirements to some extent, it also has drawbacks: such as inconvenience. Foot-operated shifting requires the driver to frequently lift their foot to shift gears while riding, which is particularly difficult in traffic jams or complex road conditions, increasing the driver's workload. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic shift switch and a motorcycle using the same, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] The magnetic shift switch structure of this utility model embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the magnetic shift switch is preferably installed on the vehicle near the handle for easy operation by the driver. It includes a mounting base 1, switch bodies 2, and levers 3. Two switch bodies 2 are fixed to the mounting base 1. In practical applications, the switch bodies 2 can be connected to the vehicle's gear control system. The two switch bodies 2 correspond to the upshift switch and downshift switch, respectively. That is, when the upshift switch is triggered, it controls the vehicle to upshift; when the downshift switch is triggered, it controls the vehicle to downshift. The switch bodies 2 can adopt microswitches, tactile switches, or other switch structures. The selection of switch bodies 2 can vary depending on actual needs. The switch bodies 2 can be fixed by screws, clips, etc., to ensure they do not loosen during operation. Two levers 3 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 for controlling... Two switch bodies 2 are constructed. Each lever 3 has an operating handle 30, which the driver can manually operate to control the rotation of the lever 3. The two levers 3 are equipped with corresponding magnetic structures, and the mounting base 1 is equipped with a limiting structure. In the normal state (i.e., when the switch is not operated), the magnetic attraction of the two levers 3 keeps them relatively stationary, and the limiting structure limits the levers 3 to prevent them from rotating relative to the mounting base 1 in the normal state, thereby ensuring structural stability and improving performance. When an external force is applied to the lever 3 to overcome the magnetic attraction and rotate relative to the mounting base 1, the corresponding switch body 2 is triggered, thereby realizing gear switching control. After the external force applied to the lever 3 is removed, the lever 3 returns to its original position.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion 11 on the mounting base 1 and a stop 31 on the lever 3. In normal operation, the stop 31s of the two levers 3 are close to each other and stop on both sides of the limiting protrusion 11. That is, in normal operation, under the attraction of the magnetic structure, the stop 31s on the two levers clamp the limiting protrusion 11 from both sides, thereby limiting the lever 3 to prevent it from shaking in normal operation by means of the limiting protrusion 11. Moreover, by means of the limiting protrusion 11 and the stop 31, the reverse rotation of the lever 3 can be restricted, so that when one lever 3 is rotated, the other lever 3 will not be rotated, thus ensuring the reliability of operation.

[0026] In the scheme shown in the attached figure, the movement of the lever 3 is transmitted to the switch body 2 for triggering via the transmission rod 4. Specifically, this scheme provides two transmission rods 4, which are movably mounted on the mounting base 1 and correspond to the positions of the two switch bodies 2 respectively. Each transmission rod 4 has a driving end 41 and an actuating end 42. The lever 3 is provided with a driving part 32 corresponding to the position of the driving end 41. The actuating end 42 extends close to the switch body 2. When the lever 3 rotates, the driving part 32 pushes the driving end 41, thereby moving the transmission rod 4, and triggering the switch body 2 through the actuating end 42. In practical applications, the transmission rod 4 can be mounted on the mounting base 1 in a linear movement manner or in a axial rotation manner.

[0027] In specific implementation, the reset power of the transmission rod 4 can be provided by the switch body 2; it can also be additionally set as a spring 5 that provides elastic force to each transmission rod 4. One end of the spring 5 is connected to the transmission rod 4, and the other end is connected to the mounting base 1. The elastic force of the spring 5 acts on the transmission rod 4, so that the driving end 41 of the transmission rod 4 keeps moving towards the driving part 32. In this way, after the pressure of the lever 3 on the transmission rod 4 is removed, the transmission rod 3 can quickly and effectively reset under the elastic force of the spring 5, and further transmit the reset elastic force to the lever 3 through the transmission rod 3.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the magnetic attraction structure includes a magnetic attraction component 6 and a magnetic attraction component 7 respectively fixed on the two levers 3. The attraction between the magnetic attraction component 6 and the magnetic attraction component 7 keeps the two levers 3 relatively stationary, ensuring stability during use. In a specific implementation, both the magnetic attraction component 6 and the magnetic attraction component 7 can be magnets with good magnetism to enhance the attraction effect. Alternatively, one of the magnetic attraction component 6 and the magnetic attraction component 7 can be a magnet, while the other can be an iron block. The levers 3 are limited by the attraction between the magnet and the iron block.

[0029] To facilitate the installation of magnetic component 6 and magnetic component 7 on the lever 3, positioning grooves 33 are provided on the two levers 3. The magnetic component 6 and magnetic component 7 are embedded in the corresponding positioning grooves 33 for installation, which improves the convenience of assembly and ensures that the installation positions of the magnetic component 6 and magnetic component 7 are precise.

[0030] To simplify the installation structure of the lever 3, a mounting part 34 is provided in the middle of the lever 3. The mounting parts 34 on the two levers 3 are coaxially rotatable. In this way, the mounting shaft is set at the same position on the mounting base 1 to form a mounting limit for the two levers 3, thereby facilitating the assembly of the shift switch and the internal layout of the switch.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The scheme in this embodiment is basically the same as that in embodiment 1. The difference is that the transmission rod 4 is not set in this embodiment. The switch body 2 is directly triggered by the lever 3. That is, when the lever 3 rotates, its driving part 32 triggers the switch body 2.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] This embodiment relates to a motorcycle equipped with a gear shift switch. The gear shift switch is a magnetic gear shift switch as described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 above. The magnetic gear shift switch is installed near the handlebars, which facilitates the driver's operation of the gear shift switch while driving, improving the convenience of operation and enhancing driving safety.

[0035] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
