Abstract

DC60 (11/07/56) This gear shift lever locking mechanism, activated by a solenoid, is an anti-theft device that uses a remote control to activate the solenoid, causing the locking pin to move and lock the gear shift lever. A control box processes the commands received from the remote control. A unique feature is the coordinated operation of the mechanical parts when activated by the solenoid for locking and unlocking. It can also operate in conjunction with the key for unlocking.

1. The mechanism for locking the gear shift lever of a car, which is activated by a solenoid, is an anti-theft device designed with a mechanism that can be used in conjunction with a solenoid and an electrical system. The solenoid's main function is to convert electrical energy into energy to move the locking pin to the locking position. It consists of the following main components: a locking mechanism, which locks or unlocks the gear shift lever when the locking mechanism controls the locking pin to lock or unlock the locking shaft; an electrical system, which acts as a connector between the remote control device and the locking mechanism to receive command signals and control the solenoid's operation; and a release mechanism, in case the electrical or solenoid system is unusable. It has a special characteristic: The locking mechanism consists of: a) a solenoid (1), which is the device that activates the mechanism to lock and unlock the gear shift lever of the car when it receives a command from the control box (2a). The end of the shaft (1a) is fabricated with a notch (1b) for fitting into the first locking pin (3) and is fabricated with... (1c) A hole is made for inserting a pin to force the first locking pin (3) into contact with the shaft (1a) of the solenoid. b) The first locking pin (3) is fabricated in the shape of an L, with the base fabricated in the shape of a hole (3a) for threading into the pin (41a) of the right pipe cover (41), and the body is fabricated to have a pin (3b) protruding in the opposite direction to act as a locking mechanism for the second locking pin (31). In addition, the end of the body is fabricated in the shape of a hole (3c) for threading a pin to force one end of the first locking pin (3) into contact with the shaft (1a) of the solenoid. c) The second locking pin (31) is designed to have a pin (31c) protruding from the body to act as a locking mechanism for the locking groove (5b) of the locking shaft (5), where the pin (31c) is threaded into the groove. (33c) of the locking pin support (33), on the opposite side to the pin (31c), is fabricated to have a notch (31a) to accommodate the spring (32) for assembly. On the same side as the notch (31a), a pin (31e) is fabricated to protrude to accommodate the assembly into the notch (33e) of the locking pin support (33). One end (31b) is fabricated to have a beveled cross-section to accommodate the position of the pin (3b) of the first locking pin (3), and also to serve to enable locking when the first locking pin (3) moves to lock. In addition, the end (31d) is fabricated to be bent to correspond to the position of the pin (7b) of the padlock (7), to act to force the second locking pin (31) to move to unlock when the padlock (7) is triggered to unlock by the padlock in the event that the solenoid (1) or control box (2a) Cannot be used normally. d) Spring (32) is used to help the second locking pin (31) lock in any condition, even if the position of the pin (31c) is not aligned with the position of the locking groove (5b), and also to help keep the locking pin (31c) firmly in the locking groove (5a). One end of the spring (32) is fitted into the notch (31a) of the second locking pin (31) and the other end is fitted into the notch (33a) of the locking pin support (33). In addition, the spring (32) prevents the second locking pin (31) from locking itself when subjected to external force. e) The locking pin support (33) is fabricated to have a groove that corresponds to the second locking pin (31), i.e., it is provided with a notch (33a) to accommodate the assembly of the spring (32). (33b) to accommodate the assembly of the second locking pin (31) to hold it in the specified position; a notch (33c) to accommodate the threading of the second locking pin (31c) (31); and a notch (33e) to allow the second locking pin (31) to move in and out precisely. f) The right tube cap (41) is provided to close the open end (6a) of one side of the housing (6), which is fabricated to be the size and shape of the cross-section of the housing (6). In addition, the body is provided with a protruding pin (41a) to accommodate the threading of the hole (3a) of the first locking pin (31). g) The left tube cap (42) is provided to close the open end (6b) of the other side of the housing (6) to hold the locking mechanism housing. and the internal electrical circuitry is enclosed to prevent damage to the components. On the other side, the size and shape of the enclosure tube (6) are made up to the same dimensions and shape as the cross-section of the enclosure tube (6). The enclosure tube (6) is fabricated to be a two-sided open box (6a), (6b) to enclose the mechanical components and electrical circuitry to prevent damage. One side of the body is fabricated to have a hole (6c) to accommodate the assembly into the body (7a) of the padlock (7), and on the opposite side of the hole (6c) is fabricated to have a square groove (6e) to accommodate the threading of the locking pin (7c) of the padlock (7) to lock and prevent the removal of the screw cover (9) from the screw (10) to remove the mounting bracket (8) from the vehicle. On the same side as the hole (6e) is fabricated to have a groove (6d) to allow the locking pin (5) to pass through into the enclosure (6). In addition, the opening of the groove (6d) is provided with a mechanism to prevent the locking pin (5) from making noise from striking other parts while the vehicle is in motion. (8) The mounting bracket, which is provided with a hole (8e) at the end (8a) for the passage of a screw (10) to mount the bracket to the vehicle, and the body (8b) is welded to the enclosure tube (6). It is also fabricated with a two-level groove (8d) to accommodate the insertion (9d) of the screw cover (9) into the first level and lock into the aforementioned pin (9d) at the second level. (9) The screw cover (9) is designed to be shaped to match the mounting bracket (8), which is provided with an end (9a) to cover the head of the screw (10) to prevent unauthorized removal of the screw, and the body (9b) is folded up at an angle to the enclosure tube (6). It is also fabricated with a groove (9c) of rectangular cross-section to accommodate the insertion of the locking pin (7c) of the padlock (7). When the locking pin (7c) passes through the groove (9c) and the padlock is turned, it locks. This allows the locking bolt (7c) to be forced against the groove (9c) to lock the screw cover (9) in place. The electrical system consists of a control box (2a) for processing and controlling the operation of all connected electrical devices. A lymphoid (1) is connected to a DC inverter (2b), the other end of which is connected to signal e and signal d of the control box (2a), respectively, and signal g of the control box (2a) is connected to ground. In addition, the control box (2a) is connected to the positive (+) power supply to power the circuit from the vehicle battery through signal a. A fuse (2d) is used to protect the control box (2a) from damage if it is subjected to excessive current. This fuse (2d) is connected in series between the battery and the control box (2a). Signal b of the control box (2a) is connected to the iG terminal of the vehicle's ignition switch (2c) to monitor the operating status. The car's control box (2a) is designed to prevent the solenoid from being used. It consists of a lock (7) in the body (7a) which is fabricated to be the size and shape of the hole (6c) of the enclosure (6). The center is fabricated to have a locking pin (7b) to activate the end (31d) of a second locking pin (31) to move, causing the pin (31c) to move out of the locking groove (5b) of the locking shaft (5) to unlock. At the end, a locking pin (7c) is provided to be threaded through the locking groove (9c) of the screw cover (9) to lock the part in place, preventing the thief from removing the locking device.
