Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The first end of the gear shifting lever is arranged in the through hole and extends to the outside of the shell. The gear shifting lever is hinged to the shell through a pin shaft extending in the left-right direction. The magnet is installed on the first end of the gear shifting lever and located outside the shell. The PCB board is fixed on the whole vehicle and located below the magnet.

[0045] In one aspect, the present application discloses a shift device. The shift device is suitable for being assembled on a whole vehicle.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the shift device comprises a shell 1, a shift lever 2, a connecting piece 3, a PCB board 4, a pin shaft 5 and a magnet 6. The shell 1 is provided with a first rotating shaft 11. The first rotating shaft 11 is suitable for being hinged on the whole vehicle.

The side plate of the connecting piece 3 is provided with a sliding groove 32. The side plate of the connecting piece 3 is slidingly connected with the shift lever 2 through the sliding groove 32.

[0050] In the embodiment, the working principle of the shifting device is as follows:

[0051] The shell 1 can swing left and right around the first rotating shaft 11, so that the shifting rod 2 and the connecting piece 3 can swing left and right.

[0052] The shifting rod 2 can swing up and down around the pin shaft 5, so that the connecting piece 3 swings up and down under the cooperation of the sliding groove 32 and the shifting rod 2. The through hole 12 is suitable for limiting the up-down swing amplitude of the shifting rod 2.

[0053] As described above, through the cooperation of the sliding groove 32 and the shifting rod 2, the magnet 6 can effectively amplify the movement trajectory of the first end of the shifting rod 2, that is, when the shifting rod 2 swings up and down, the magnet 6 can effectively amplify the displacement change of the first end of the shifting rod 2 in the vertical direction through the connecting piece 3, thereby amplifying the recognition angle of the device, so that the movement of the magnet 6 can more effectively feedback the swing situation of the shifting rod 2, so that the recognition of the device is more accurate.

[0054] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the sliding groove 32 is located between the second rotating shaft 31 and the pin shaft 5 to slide and limit the shifting rod 2. Specifically, the side plate of the connecting piece 3 extends into the through hole 12. The left and right sides of the shifting rod 2 are provided with sliding protrusions 21 which cooperate with the sliding groove 32. The sliding groove 32 is suitable for sliding and limiting the sliding protrusions 21.

[0056] Further, please refer to Figure 3And Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the housing 1 is provided with an exposure hole 13. The exposure hole 13 is adapted to expose the sliding protrusion 21, so that the worker can overhaul the connection between the sliding groove 32 and the sliding protrusion 21.

[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 4 And Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the connecting piece 3 is provided with a mounting groove 33. The mounting groove 33 is located at the end of the connecting piece 3 away from the shift lever 2. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 33 is provided on the connecting portion of the connecting piece 3. The mounting groove 33 has an open end and a closed end. The open end of the mounting groove 33 is in communication with the inner cavity of the connecting piece 3, that is, the upper end of the mounting groove 33 is the open end. The inner wall of the mounting groove 33 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 34.
