[0039] Based on the above embodiment, Figure 5 a disassembly view of the light emitting assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 a schematic view of the light guide strip and the first PCB provided by the embodiment of the present application, asFigure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the light guide strip 8 is a spiral structure formed by a spiral line.

The design of the light-transmitting hole 701 allows the light from the LED 6 to directly enter the light inlet 801 of the light guide strip 8, reducing light loss when entering the light guide strip 8. The first PCB 4 can be fixed to the circular cavity of the main reflector bowl 7 using bolts. The light guide strip 8 is sandwiched between the secondary reflector bowl 9 and the primary reflector bowl 7. The contoured positioning surface 901 inside the secondary reflector bowl 9 mates with the light guide strip 8 to ensure the precise position of the light guide strip 8 during assembly.

The serrated reflective structure 802 on the inner side of the light guide strip 8 can reflect light to the outer side of the light guide strip 8, making it easier for light to escape from the surface of the light guide strip 8 to the light-emitting ring 10, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of light reflection provided for an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the main reflector 7 and the secondary reflector 9 can be made of white reflective material to reflect light to the outside. Of course, the light guide strip 8 can also be made without full-circle illumination.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, this application provides a method for fixing the handle sleeve 2 and the electronic components inside the handle sleeve 2 to the pocket shift body 1. Figure 8 This is an assembly diagram of the various parts and the main body of the shifter provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 This is an assembly diagram of a first PCB provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below.

[0042] The number of the positioning columns 12 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, Figure 9 As shown, two positioning columns 12 are arranged on the end face of the handle cover body 1, and correspondingly, two positioning grooves are arranged in the handle cover 2. The auxiliary reflector bowl 9, the light guide strip 8, the main reflector bowl 7, the first PCB 4 and the silica gel button 11 are sequentially sleeved on the positioning column 12, then the positioning column 12 is inserted into the positioning groove of the handle cover 2, and finally the screw 13 is threadedly connected with the screw hole 1201 on the positioning column 12 to lock the handle cover 2 and press the parts in the handle cover 2.
[0043] Based on the above embodiment, the inner wall of the handle cover 2 is provided with a limiting step 15 used for limiting the silica gel button 11, the first PCB 4, the main reflector bowl 7, the light guide strip 8 and the auxiliary reflector bowl 9 on the end face of the handle cover body 1.

[0044] Based on the above embodiment, the edge of the end face of the handle cover body 1 is provided with a limiting edge 16 extending along the axial direction of the positioning column 12, the limiting edge 16 and the positioning column 12 form a groove, and the groove is used for accommodating the auxiliary reflector bowl 9.

[0045] Based on the above embodiment, the bottom surface of the handle cover 2 and the top surface of the limiting edge 16 respectively abut the two sides of the light-emitting ring 10. By abutting the bottom surface of the handle cover 2 and the top surface of the limiting edge 16 to the two sides of the light-emitting ring 10 respectively, the light-emitting ring 10 is firmly fixed in the preset position, ensuring that it will not shift or shake during use.
[0046] Based on the above embodiment, the handle sleeve 2 is provided with an anti-skid part 201 on the outer peripheral surface, and the surface of the anti-skid part 201 is provided with anti-skid patterns. The anti-skid patterns are usually designed with curved surfaces or flexible materials (such as silica gel), which can better fit the contour of the hand and reduce the fatigue caused by holding. The anti-skid patterns significantly increase the friction between the handle and the hand by increasing the roughness of the surface of the handle sleeve 2, thereby effectively preventing the hand from slipping during operation, especially in wet or vibrating environments.

The electronic switch 5 and the LED 6 are integrated on the same PCB, reducing the number of components and the space occupied. The electronic parking brake function is realized through the button 3 and the electronic switch 5. The button 3 is inserted into the guide cavity of the handle sleeve 2 and is in sliding connection with the guide cavity. The pressing action of the button 3 triggers the electronic switch 5 on the front surface of the first PCB 4, thereby enabling or releasing the electronic parking brake. The button 3 and the electronic switch 5 are integrated inside the handle sleeve 2, avoiding additional space occupation. The ambient light function is realized through the LED 6, the reflector bowl, the light guide strip 8, and the light emitting ring 10. When the electronic parking brake is started, the first PCB 4 controls the LED 6 to light up. Through compact optical design, the reflector bowl, the light guide strip 8, and the light emitting ring 10 are integrated on the back side of the first PCB 4, fully utilizing the internal space of the handle sleeve 2 and avoiding additional volume increase. Based on this, the electronic parking brake function and the ambient light function are integrated on the smaller size gear shifter, improving the operation convenience.
