Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and specifically relates to an anti-pinch gear shift lever. Background Technology
[0002] The gear shift lever, also known as a gear lever or gear shift paddle, is used to operate the car's transmission and switch between different gears.
[0003] Traditional gear shift levers often neglect anti-pinch features in their design, which may cause drivers to pinch their fingers during gear shifting due to improper operation or unexpected situations. This not only causes physical pain to the driver but may also affect driving safety. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a gear shift handle that prevents hand pinching.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an anti-pinch shift handle, comprising a handle body, a shift housing for mounting a shift lever, and a handle shell mounted on the shift housing, characterized in that the top of the shift housing has a shift seat, and the shift seat is hollow, a pressing component for pressing the shift lever is installed inside the shift seat, the pressing component is connected to the shift seat through a bracket, a pressing button is provided on the pressing component, an anti-pinch unit is connected to one end of the pressing button, a locking block and a fixing block are respectively provided at both ends of the anti-pinch unit, an elastic protective pad for protection is provided between the locking block and the fixing block, the fixing block is bolted to the pressing button, and the locking block is L-shaped and connected to the shift housing.
[0006] In the aforementioned anti-pinch shift handle, the latching block consists of a support part and a latching part. The latching part is provided with a latching bracket with a latching ball, and the latching bracket is made of elastic material. A slot for installing the latching bracket is provided on the shift housing, and symmetrical latching blocks for fixing the latching bracket are provided on the inner wall of the slot.
[0007] In the aforementioned anti-pinch shift handle, the elastic protective pad, the snap-fit block, and the fixing block are integrated into a single connected structure.
[0008] In the aforementioned anti-pinch shift handle, the elastic protective pad is made of a material with high elasticity and good tensile properties.
[0009] Working principle: When the driver operates the gear shift lever, the button is pushed upwards by an external force. Under normal circumstances, the button moves the anti-pinch unit together to achieve the gear shifting operation. If the driver's finger is accidentally caught between the button and the gear shift housing, the elastic protective pad will be squeezed first. Due to its good elasticity and cushioning properties, the elastic protective pad can deform elastically to absorb some of the pressure, thereby reducing injury to the finger.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this anti-pinch shift lever can effectively reduce the injury to fingers when they are pinched through the cushioning effect of the elastic protective pad, thus improving driving safety. The anti-pinch unit has a reasonable structural design, and the connection between the locking block and the shift housing is firm, easy to assemble and disassemble, and convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0014] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0015] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this anti-pinch shift lever includes a lever body 1, a shift housing 2 for mounting the shift lever, and a lever shell 3 mounted on the shift housing 2. The shift housing 2 has a shift seat 4 on top, and the shift seat 4 is hollow. A pressing component 5 for pressing the shift lever is installed inside the shift seat 4. The pressing component 5 is connected to the shift seat 4 via a bracket 6. A pressing button 7 is provided on the pressing component 5. An anti-pinch unit is connected to one end of the pressing button 7. A locking block 8 and a fixing block 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the anti-pinch unit. An elastic protective pad 10 for protection is provided between the locking block 8 and the fixing block 9. The fixing block 9 is bolted to the pressing button 7. The locking block 8 is L-shaped and connected to the shift housing 2. One end of the elastic protective pad 10 is fixed to the locking block 8, and the other end is connected to the fixing block 9. The fixing block 9 is bolted to the pressing button 7, so that the elastic protective pad 10 is firmly clamped between the locking block 8 and the fixing block 9.
[0016] To elaborate further, the snap-fit block 8 consists of a support part 11 and a snap-fit part 12. The support part 11 provides stable support for the elastic protective pad 10 to prevent it from moving randomly during stretching. The snap-fit part 12 has a snap-fit bracket 13 with a snap-fit ball, and the snap-fit bracket 13 is made of elastic material. A slot 14 for installing the snap-fit bracket 13 is provided on the shift housing 2. The inner wall of the slot 14 has symmetrically provided snap-fit blocks 15 to facilitate fixing the snap-fit bracket 13. Align the snap-fit bracket 13 on the snap-fit block 8 with the slot 14 on the shift housing 2 and press it down to make the snap-fit ball snap into the snap-fit block 15, thus fixing the snap-fit block 8. When disassembly is required, only a certain external force needs to be applied, and the snap-fit ball can be released from the snap-fit block 15, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.
[0017] To elaborate further, the elastic protective pad 10, the snap-fit block 8, and the fixing block 9 form an integrated connection structure.
[0018] To elaborate further, the elastic protective pad 10 is made of a material with high elasticity and good tensile properties.
[0019] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0020] Although this document frequently uses terms such as handle body 1, shift housing 2, handle shell 3, shift seat 4, pressing assembly 5, bracket 6, pressing button 7, snap-fit block 8, fixing block 9, elastic protective pad 10, support part 11, snap-fit part 12, snap-fit bracket 13, slot 14, and snap-fit block 15, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
