Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, it relates to a quick-release gear shift lever. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of car control, the gear shift lever is mainly divided into two categories: mechanical and electronic. These are adapted to different car models and driving needs. Mechanical gears transmit operation through direct or remote mechanical connections. Common straight-line gears (such as those in Honda models) are intuitive and cost-effective, while serpentine gears (such as those in Toyota and Jaguar) reduce the risk of accidental operation with their zigzag trajectory. Manual gears retain precise mechanical feedback and are favored by driving enthusiasts. They often have self-locking steel balls and springs to fix the gear position. Electronic gears rely on drive-by-wire technology, replacing mechanical linkages with motors, resulting in more flexible designs. Rotary knobs (Land Rover and Jaguar) save space in the center console and offer a strong sense of ceremony, while push-button gears (Lincoln and Honda Avancier) require the brake pedal to activate, preventing accidental activation. Electronic column shifters (Mercedes-Benz and Tesla) are compact and convenient, while paddle shifters (Ferrari and Volkswagen GTI) support fingertip control and are suitable for track scenarios.

[0003] Existing application number: CN202320214526.4 A clutch and shift lever interlocking mechanism relates to the field of gearbox clutch and shifting technology. It includes a shift lever, a shift limit frame, a shift execution component, and a clutch execution component. The shift lever is placed within the shift limit frame, and the shift execution component is disposed along the lower end of the shift limit frame. The shift lever is connected to the shift execution component, and the clutch execution component is disposed along the outer side of the shift execution component. One end of the clutch execution component is connected to the lower end of the shift lever. The shift lever, shift execution component, and clutch execution component form a linkage structure. By integrating the clutch and shift lever, the position of the lever can be restricted. When the shift is not completed, the clutch cannot engage; when the clutch is engaged, the lever cannot shift. This achieves clutch and shift interlocking, ensuring that the clutch must be disengaged before shifting, thereby preventing operator error and damage to the gearbox.

[0004] Based on the above, when using existing gear shift levers, due to differences in drivers' driving habits and height / body type, and since gear shift levers are generally fixed structures with plug-in connections, the comfort level varies for drivers of different body types, affecting the practical effect of the gear shift levers. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a quick-connect gear shift lever, which solves the problem that existing gear shift levers, due to differences in drivers' driving habits and body types, and the fact that most gear shift levers are generally fixed structures with plug-in connections, result in varying levels of comfort for drivers of different body types, thus affecting the practical effectiveness of the gear shift lever.

[0006] The purpose and function of this utility model's quick-release gear shift lever are achieved through the following specific technical means: A quick-release gear shift lever includes a shift linkage, a lever body, a shift guide slider, a grip, grip protrusions, an operation adjustment mechanism, and an operation auxiliary mechanism. The lever body is inserted into the upper outer periphery of the shift linkage, and a slot structure is formed at the lower inner end of the lever body. The shift guide slider is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lever body. The grip is fixedly connected to the upper part of the shift guide slider. Multiple sets of grip protrusions are provided, and each set of grip protrusions is fixedly connected to the upper part of the grip, forming a honeycomb-shaped raised structure. The operation adjustment mechanism is located inside the lever body. The operation auxiliary mechanism is located inside the shift guide slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the operation adjustment mechanism includes: a foolproof limit block; the foolproof limit block is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the shift linkage.

[0008] Furthermore, the operation adjustment mechanism also includes: an adjustment drive screw and an adjustment drive slider; the adjustment drive screw is rotatably connected to the upper inner side of the shift linkage; the adjustment drive slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the shift linkage, and the adjustment drive slider is threadedly connected to the adjustment drive screw.

[0009] Furthermore, the operating adjustment mechanism also includes: an adjusting pin and an adjusting connecting spring; the adjusting pin is slidably connected to the inner side of the adjusting drive slider, and the adjusting pin is inserted into the slot of the operating rod body; the adjusting connecting spring is fixedly connected to the front end of the adjusting pin, and the front end of the adjusting connecting spring is fixedly connected to the adjusting drive slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the operating auxiliary mechanism includes: a damping guide slider, a damping connecting screw, a compression spring, and a damping ball; the damping guide slider is slidably connected to the inside right side of the shift guide slider; the damping connecting screw is threadedly connected to the inside right side of the shift guide slider, and the left end of the damping connecting screw is rotatably connected to the damping guide slider; the compression spring is fixedly connected to the left side of the damping guide slider; and the damping ball is fixedly connected to the left end of the compression spring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes an adjustment mechanism with a foolproof limit block to determine the installation direction of the control lever body. The foolproof limit block is then inserted into the control lever body to prevent reverse installation. Next, the adjustment drive screw is rotated, causing the adjustment drive slider to move up and down. Once the slider is in the appropriate position, the adjustment pin is moved inward, inserting the control lever body downward into the outer side of the shift linkage, aligning the slot of the control lever body with the adjustment pin. Under the action of the adjustment connecting spring, the adjustment pin is inserted into the slot of the control lever body, achieving rapid installation of the control lever body. Simultaneously, the height of the control lever body is adjustable, making the entire control lever suitable for users of different body types and driving habits, thus improving the overall comfort and range of applications of the control lever.

[0013] This invention utilizes an auxiliary operating mechanism. When the driver presses the heating button, the heating element is activated, emitting heat to heat the grip, thus improving driver comfort when operating the control lever. Simultaneously, the damping ball, in conjunction with the center console cover, provides a certain degree of damping during operation, enhancing the user's driving experience. Rotating the damping connecting screw causes the damping guide slider to move to the left, compressing the compression spring and thus adjusting the damping force. Attached Figure Description
