Gear lock and its system

The present invention relates to a gear shifting lock and a system thereof, and more particularly to a gear shifting gear and system thereof that can be used to sense a vehicle gearshift lever in the event of a failure.

Please refer to the contents of the manual of the Republic of China New Patent No. M467588. The novel patent specification discloses a "hidden gearshift lever lock", which specifically records that the pivoting actuating swing arm drives the connecting member through the hidden shift lever lock, and the traction latch quickly and surely performs the locking and unlocking. Actions.

Specifically, the "hidden gearshift lever lock" of the new patent No. M467588 discloses that the hooking lever on the swing arm in the structure is rotated clockwise to a locking sensor; or is the hook on the swing arm The lever is rotated counterclockwise to an unlocking sensor, and the action of locking and unlocking is quickly and surely performed on the gearshift lever.

However, there is still room for improvement in such a design. For example, if the driver wants to lock the gearshift lever, although the hooking lever on the swing arm can rotate clockwise, but the hooking bar cannot reliably interfere with the locking sensor, then such a hidden type The gearshift lever lock is likely to present a potential risk of failure in the next gear shift. Similarly, if the driver wants to unlock the gearshift lever, although the hooking lever on the swing arm can rotate counterclockwise, but the hooking bar cannot reliably interfere with the unlocking sensor, then such a "hidden gearshift lever lock" It is also possible that a potential risk of failure will occur at the next gear.

In another example, if the shift lever is discharged to the P position when driving temporarily, then the car engine is started and the P gear is stuck to the D position. In the current related technical field, driving in such a dilemma can only helplessly wait for road rescue on the roadside. As a result, driving also wastes a lot of time waiting for road rescue.

The present invention will be explained below through several embodiments and several drawings. However, the embodiments and the structural shapes and dimensions shown in the drawings are only used to explain the creation, and are not intended to limit the creation of the creation. It can be implemented in any particular environment, application or special manner as described in the embodiments.

Please refer to Figure 1, which is a circuit block diagram of the creation of the gear lock. The gear lock 1 of the present invention is used to sense whether a car gear lever 17 actually performs one of the actions of unlocking and unlocking. The gear lock 1 includes a driving device 11 , a switch 13 and a sensing module 15 .

The driving device 11 may be a stepping motor, but is not limited thereto. The driving device 11 is configured to receive an instruction 121 and output a switching signal 123 according to the instruction 121. The switch 13 is configured to receive the switching signal 123 to determine one of the actions of locking and unlocking the car gear lever 17. The sensing module 15 is configured to sense whether the switch 13 is indeed Perform a lock and unlock one of the actions.

The technical feature of the present invention is that the sensing module 15 senses the actuating behavior between the switch 13 and the car gear lever 17 to decide to lock or unlock the car gear lever 17. When the gear lock 1 of the present invention is described in detail, the hook type and the lock sensor and the unlock sensor disclosed in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 can be referred to the "hidden gear shift lever lock" of the new patent No. M467588. Correspondence between the two.

In the first act of actuation, if the driving device 11 in the gear lock 1 receives the command 121 for locking the gearshift lever, the sensing module 15 senses the switch 13 (corresponding to the "hidden gearshift lever" of the M467588 The hook of the lock has positively resisted the lock sensor, that is, the changeover switch 13 has positively locked the car gear lever 17.

In the second act of actuation, if the driving device 11 in the gear lock 1 receives the command 121 for unlocking the gearshift lever, the sensing module 15 senses that the switch 13 has positively interfered with the unlocking sensor, that is, The changeover switch 13 has surely unlocked the car gearshift lever 17.

In the third act, if the command 121 received by the driving device 11 in the gear lock 1 further includes a forced locking command, the command feature is that the driving device 11 receives the unlocking signal for 3 seconds, and then receives the locking signal. Then, the changeover switch 13 forces the changeover switch 13 to lock the vehicle shift lever 17.

In the fourth act, if the driving module 11 in the gear lock 1 performs the locking or unlocking process, the sensing module 15 senses that the switch 13 does not perform the locking and unlocking one of the actions. Enter a "repair mode" to match the steam The truck lever 17 is unlocked. In other words, regardless of whether the hook is rotated clockwise but does not reliably interfere with the lock sensor, or rotates counterclockwise but does not reliably interfere with the unlock sensor, it will be classified into the fourth act. This means that the gear lock 1 may be at risk of potential failure. Therefore, in such a case, the gear lock 1 will enter the "rework mode" to forcibly unlock.

Please refer to Figure 2 again, which is a schematic diagram of the creation of the gear lock system. The gear lock system includes a remote control device 21 and a gear lock 1 . The remote control device 21 is configured to send an instruction to the gearshift lock 1. The specific embodiment of the gear lock 1 has been described in detail above and will not be described herein.

The remote control device 21 includes a motor drive module 211, a microprocessor 213, a power manager 215, and a vehicle power supply signal module 217. The motor drive module 211 is configured to send a command 121 to determine one of the actions of locking and unlocking the car gear lever 17. The vehicle power supply signal module 217 includes a power output 217a and an ON/OFF signal 埠 217b. The power manager 215 is electrically connected between the power output port 217a and the microprocessor 213, and the ON/OFF signal 埠 217b can send an ON or OFF signal to the microprocessor 213. The microprocessor 213 further receives a control signal 151 from the sensing module 15. The microprocessor 213 receives the control signal 151 and refers to the power output 埠 217a and the ON/OFF signal 埠 217b included in the vehicular power supply signal module 217, and then transmits a processing signal 2131 to the motor driver 211, and the motor driver 211 according to the processing signal 2131 sends an instruction 121.

Figure 3A is a schematic diagram of the first stage of the creation of the gear shift lock into the "rework mode". Since the "rework mode" is a specially designed solution for forcibly unlocking the lock gear 1 in case of abnormality or failure, Let the driver temporarily arrange the gear and enter the factory for repair as soon as possible.

The "repair mode" includes a torque value 311 and a rotational speed 313. The torque value 311 has a relationship with the rotational speed 313, and each set of torque values 311 and rotational speed 313 is planned as a unit. In this embodiment, it is planned as three units A, B, and C. Units A, B, C are then further planned into a group 31. It should be noted that, in the case of abnormal or faulty gear shifting gear and its system, the torque value 311 and the rotational speed 313 are executed by the driving device 11.

Regarding the first stage of the "rework mode", the torque value 311 in the unit A is set to 70% of the torque generated by the full-force drive unit 11 (the driving system is driven by the stepping motor) (hereinafter referred to as 70% of the torque). And the rotational speed 313 is set to 50% of the rotational speed (hereinafter referred to as 50% speed) generated when the full-force drive device 11 (the present invention is driven by a stepping motor). Similarly, the torque value 311 in the unit B is set to 50% and the rotational speed 313 is set to 64% speed; the torque value 311 in the unit C is set to 30% and the rotational speed 313 is set to 90% speed. . Finally, units A, B, and C are further planned into a group 31. The execution time of each of the units A, B, and C is 0.1 second.

The group 31 thus repeated and continuously executed 10 times for a total of 3 seconds. If the first stage of the "rework mode" is completed, the unlocking cannot be forced, so the drive unit 11 is abandoned and waits for 0.5 seconds to enter the second stage of the "rework mode". If the first stage of the "Rework Mode" completes the forced unlocking, the driver can temporarily shift gears and enter the factory for repair as soon as possible.

Figure 3B shows the second step of the creative gear lock entering the "rework mode" Schematic diagram of the segment. Regarding the second phase of the "rework mode", its planning is roughly the same as the first phase. The only difference is that the torque value 311 in the unit A at this time is set to 90% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set to 30% speed; the torque value 311 of the unit B is set to 70% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set. The speed is 50%; and the torque value 311 of the unit C is set to 50% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set to 64% of the speed. The second stage of the "rework mode" increases the torque and decreases the rotational speed of the units A, B, and C corresponding to the first stage, respectively.

The group 31 thus repeated and continuously executed 10 times for a total of 3 seconds. If the second stage of the "rework mode" is completed, the unlocking cannot be forced, so the drive unit 11 is abandoned and waits for 0.5 seconds to enter the third stage of the "rework mode". If the second stage of the "Rework Mode" completes the forced unlocking, the driver can temporarily shift gears and enter the factory for repair as soon as possible.

Figure 3C is a schematic diagram of the third stage of the creation of the gear shift lock into the "rework mode". Regarding the third stage of the "rework mode", its planning is roughly the same as the first stage. The only difference is that the torque value 311 in the unit A at this time is set to 100% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set to 13% speed; the torque value 311 of the unit B is set to 90% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set. The speed is 30%; and the torque value 311 of the unit C is set to 70% of the torque and the rotational speed 313 is set to 50% of the speed. The third stage of the "rework mode" increases the torque and decreases the rotational speed of the units A, B, and C corresponding to the second stage, respectively.

If the third stage of the "Rework Mode" is still unable to be unlocked, return to the first stage of the "Rework Mode".

Any of the above values are used to illustrate the purpose of this creation. Any changes made are not in the spirit of this creation.

In summary, the present invention can forcibly unlock the gear for driving an opportunity to enter the factory to repair the car gear and its system in the event of a failure by sensing a car gear. In this way, it can solve the dilemma caused by the risk of potential failure in driving or when the gearshift lever is stuck.
