Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, an electric tricycle mechanical neutral gear recognition device includes a detachable shift fork shaft cover 2 mounted on a gearbox 1. A rocker arm mounting seat 3 is provided on the shift fork shaft cover 2, and a pin hole 31 is provided on the rocker arm mounting seat 3. A pin 4 is inserted into the pin hole 31. The outer diameter of the bottom of the pin 4 is larger than the diameter of the pin hole 31. The top of the pin 4 passes through the pin hole 31 and is provided with a limit ring 5, which is secured to the upper end face of the rocker arm mounting seat 3. A limit hole is provided on the upper part of the pin 4, and a limit pin 6 is inserted into the limit hole to prevent the pin 4 from falling off. The device also includes a high / low gear rocker arm 7 and a high / low gear shift fork shaft 8. The shift fork shaft cover 2 is provided with a through hole for the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8 to pass through. One end of the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8... The high / low gear shift fork shaft 8 passes through the through hole and is located inside the gearbox 1, with the other end located outside the gearbox 1. A magnetic steel groove is provided on the upper end of the side of the gearbox 1, and a magnet 9 is embedded in the magnetic steel groove. The height of the part of the magnet 9 protruding from the magnetic steel groove is 1mm. A groove is provided on the lower end of the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8 located outside the gearbox 1. The middle part of the high / low gear rocker arm 7 is sleeved on the pin shaft 4. One end is connected to the shift cable, and the shift cable is connected to the gear shift knob. The other end is hemispherical and is engaged in the groove of the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8. A mounting bracket 10 is also provided on the side cover of the shift fork shaft. A magnetic switch 11 is installed on the mounting bracket 10 by a nut. In the neutral state, the magnetic switch 11 is located directly above the magnet 9.

[0020] After the vehicle is started, the driver indirectly controls the high / low gear rocker arm 7 by operating the gear shift knob to select high gear, neutral, or low gear. This is achieved by moving the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8 inwards or outwards through the gearbox 1, controlling the gearbox 1 to switch between high, neutral, and low gears. The driver can also engage neutral by operating the gear shift knob. When the magnet 9 is directly below the magnetic switch 11, the magnetic switch 11 recognizes the magnetic signal from the magnet 9, activates, identifies neutral, and transmits this information to the motor controller to reduce the current speed and control the active damping force, ensuring the motor can stop while idling and preventing gearbox 1 from grinding. When the high / low gear rocker arm 7 is moved, causing the high / low gear shift fork shaft 8 to move outwards or inwards through the gearbox 1, the magnet 9 follows suit. At this time, the magnet 9 and the magnetic switch 11 are misaligned, the magnetic switch 11 cannot recognize the magnetic signal, and the magnetic switch 11 does not activate, indicating a non-neutral state.

[0021] The above provides a detailed description of the mechanical neutral gear recognition device for electric tricycles provided by this utility model. The description of the specific embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the premise of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
