Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paddle shifter technology, specifically a paddle shifter that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Paddle shifters are quick-shifting devices installed on a car's steering wheel. Their main function is to allow the driver to shift gears more quickly while maintaining focus on the vehicle and road conditions.

[0003] Currently, most paddle shifters on the market still use the traditional method of directly fixing them to the steering wheel or gear shift lever. This installation method has several problems in practical application. First, drivers often need to go through several complicated steps during installation, including but not limited to disassembling parts from the steering wheel or gear shift lever, accurately aligning the installation position, and using special tools for tightening. These cumbersome steps are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increase the error rate during installation. In addition, insufficient stability after installation is also a significant problem with existing paddle shifters. Because some paddle shifters are not designed to fully consider the vibration and impact factors during vehicle operation, they are prone to loosening or falling off after installation. This not only affects the normal use of the paddle shifters, but may also pose a potential threat to driving safety. Therefore, this utility model provides a paddle shifter that is easy to install.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 ,

[0024] Example 1: An easy-to-install paddle shifter includes a paddle shifter 1 and a connecting cylinder 2. The paddle shifter 1 is the main operating component used to manually switch the gears of a vehicle. The connecting cylinder 2 connects the paddle shifter 1 and other components, and plays a role in transmitting force and maintaining structural stability.

[0025] A connecting cylinder 2 is provided on one side of the shift paddle 1, and a connecting mechanism 3 is provided on the other end of the connecting cylinder 2. A mounting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting mechanism 3 by bolts. The connecting mechanism 3 is used to connect the shift paddle 1 and the mounting cylinder 4 to ensure that the shift paddle can be firmly fixed on the vehicle. The mounting cylinder 4 is the main connecting component between the shift paddle and the vehicle installation position. The shift paddle is installed through a sliding connection. A metal rod 5 is provided on the other end of the mounting cylinder 4, and a mounting groove 6 is provided on the outside of the mounting cylinder 4. The metal rod 5 passes through one side of the mounting groove 6 to convert the movement of the paddle into a shift signal and transmit it to the vehicle's transmission system.

[0026] It should be noted that key components such as the shift paddle 1, connecting cylinder 2, and mounting cylinder 4 are made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite materials. This improves the durability of the shift paddles and reduces the overall weight. At the same time, it ensures that all components can withstand vibrations and temperature changes during vehicle operation. In addition, the shift paddles, mounting cylinder 4, and other components undergo surface treatment, including anodizing and spraying with a wear-resistant coating, to improve their corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

[0027] In this embodiment, the top and bottom sides of the mounting cylinder 4 are provided with fixing plates 7, and the sides of the fixing plates 7 are provided with arc-shaped connecting brackets 8. The fixing plates 7 are used to enhance the structural strength of the mounting cylinder 4 and serve as the mounting base for the connecting brackets 8. The front and rear ends of the connecting brackets 8 are provided with fixing bolts 9. The arc-shaped design of the connecting brackets 8 allows them to better fit the shape of the steering wheel or gear shift lever. The gear shift paddles are firmly fixed to the vehicle by the fixing bolts 9. The fixing bolts 9 are used to fix the connecting brackets 8 to the vehicle to ensure that the gear shift paddles will not loosen or fall off.

[0028] In this embodiment, sliding grooves 10 are provided on the top and bottom sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 6 to guide the sliding of the mounting cylinder 4, ensuring a smooth and accurate installation process. The mounting cylinder 4 is slidably connected to the sliding grooves 10. A first telescopic column 11 is provided between the side of the mounting cylinder 4 facing the mounting groove 6 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 6. The first telescopic column 11 forms a certain elastic connection with the inner wall of the mounting groove 6, improving the stability and buffering capacity after installation. The first telescopic column 11 is located at the top and bottom of one side of the mounting cylinder 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, pads 12 are provided at the connection between the top and bottom sides of the mounting cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 6. The pads 12 serve to buffer and reduce friction. A stabilizing block 13 is provided at the other end of the pads 12. The stabilizing block 13 is used to connect other components.

[0030] Example 2: The system also includes connecting blocks 14. Connecting blocks 14 are provided on both sides of the stabilizing block 13 facing the inner wall of the mounting groove 6, and at corresponding positions on the inner wall of the mounting groove 6. The connecting blocks 14 are arranged in relative positions, and a spring fixing seat 15 is installed between each pair of connecting blocks 14. A buffer spring 16 is installed between each pair of spring fixing seats 15. The spring fixing seat 15 is used to fix the buffer spring 16, ensuring that it will not shift during operation. The buffer spring 16 is used to absorb and buffer the vibration and impact of the shift paddle during operation. Second telescopic columns 17 are provided on both sides between each pair of connecting blocks 14. The second telescopic columns 17 are located on both sides of the buffer spring 16, providing additional support and stability. The connecting blocks 14 are used to install the spring fixing seats 15 and the buffer spring 16.

[0031] It should be noted that the connecting block 14 is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant and elastic material, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. These materials ensure that the connecting block maintains its shape stability during long-term use and effectively resists vibration and impact. The spring fixing seat 15 is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy to prevent the spring from shifting during operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 6 is provided with a pin 18 at one end facing the mounting cylinder 4. The pin 18 is used to cooperate with the slot 19 on the mounting cylinder 4 to achieve quick fixation. The mounting cylinder 4 is provided with a corresponding slot 19 on the side facing the pin 18. The slot 19 corresponds to the pin 18. The cooperation between the two enables the quick installation and fixation of the shift paddle.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows:

[0034] The easy-to-install paddle shifters are slidably connected to the mounting slot 6 by the mounting cylinder 4 and quickly fixed by the pin 18, greatly simplifying the installation process. At the same time, the design of the buffer spring 16 and the second telescopic column 17 on the first telescopic column 11 and the stabilizing block 13 between the mounting cylinder 4 and the mounting slot 6 not only improves the stability after installation, but also effectively buffers the vibration and impact during operation. The setting of the connecting bracket 8 and the fixing bolt 9 on the mounting slot 6 further ensures the stable connection between the paddle shifters and the steering wheel or shift lever, avoiding the risk of loosening and falling off.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
