Description

The present invention relates to devices for helping novice drivers, in particular, when driving cars equipped with manual gearboxes.

Designed for use in all types of vehicles with a manual gearbox.

Known prompter gear shift (PPP) [RF Patent No. 2480351, IPC V60K 23/02, F16D 23/12, publ. BI No. 2, 04/27/2013]. The PPP contains an expansion tank connected by a pipeline, a master cylinder and a clutch slave cylinder, a power electromagnetic drive, a relay for switching on a power electromagnetic drive, a switch on the gear change lever. The PPP additionally comprises a main cylinder and a switch of the gear change device, wherein the additional main cylinder is connected by a pipeline to the supply fitting of the main cylinder, the rod of the main cylinder is attached to the clutch pedal, and the rod of the additional main cylinder is attached to the power electromagnetic drive, the switch on the gear change lever is configured to closing the power supply circuit of the relay for switching on the power electromagnetic drive through the limit switch on the clutch pedal and the gear shift assistant switch installed next to the gear shift lever.

The disadvantage of this PPP is the complexity of the design and the complexity of installation on the car.

The closest to the present invention is the PPP installed on LADA KALINA cars with a manual gearbox [https://carmanuals.ru/lada-kalina-cross/fankciya-podskazchika-pereklyucheniya-peredach]. The PPP contains a computing unit, an information screen, a sound prompt system, a sound prompt system switch.

The disadvantage of this PPP is the inability to adjust to the required modes, the impossibility of removing the PPP and placing it on other vehicles.

The objective of the invention is to create a gearshift hint that provides the ability to adjust to the necessary modes (speed selection for each gear shift, rotational speed selection for each gear shift), the possibility of removing the PPP and placing it on other cars, motorcycles and other vehicles.

The task is achieved by the fact that a gearshift hint is proposed, containing a computing unit, an information screen, a sound prompt system, a sound prompt system switch.

Distinctive features of the proposed invention is that the gear shift prompter is equipped with a setting device, a mount, a gear engaged sensor placed in a separate housing and attached to the gear lever, a socket for connecting to external devices and a wireless communication device.

In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of the PPP.

The gearshift prompter contains an information screen 1, a sound prompt system 2, a sound prompt switch 3. The prompter is equipped with a setting device 4, a mount 5, a gear engaged sensor 6 having a mount 7 to the gear lever located in a separate housing, a socket 8 for connecting to external devices and a wireless communication device 9. Information processing is carried out in the computing unit 10.

The gearshift prompt works as follows.

The gearshift prompter is installed in the interior of the vehicle or on a motorcycle using mount 5. The prompter can be installed in any car (or other vehicle) by novice drivers and removed from it after acquiring the necessary skills. Through the socket for connecting to external devices 7, the PPP can be connected to a DVR, on-board computer, smartphone or other devices that transmit information about vehicle speed or engine speed to provide prompts when switching.

To determine the gear that is currently engaged, the gear engaged sensor 6 is used, located in a separate housing and having a mount 7 to the gear lever. This sensor transmits information to the computing unit 10, which displays information about the included transmission to the information screen 1 and to the sound prompt system 2.

The PPP is equipped with a setting device 4, with the help of which the engine speed or the vehicle speed are adjusted, at which each gear shift is signaled.

When using PPP, the driver at the beginning of the movement (with 1st gear engaged) information about the 1st gear is displayed on the information screen 1. When accelerating, reaching the set values of the engine speed, for example, 2500 rpm, the sound prompt 2 informs about the need for switching. Then the process is repeated.

Turning on and off the sound prompt system is carried out using the switch of the sound prompt system 3.

The proposed PPP provides the ability to adjust to the required modes (selection of speed for switching each gear, selection of rotational speed for switching each gear), the possibility of removing the PPP and placing it on other cars, motorcycles and other vehicles.

Claims (1)
