Abstract
Shift lever unit for transforming the tilting movements of a shift lever (1) in electrical control signals, in particular for controlling a gearbox, with a shift lever, a rotating element (30, 3′) which is rotated by the tilting movements of the shift lever (1) and a sensor (32, 41) detecting the angular position of the rotating element (30, 3′) and transforming it into electrical signals.
Claims18
A shift lever unit for transforming the tilting movements of a shift lever into electrical control signals, in particular for controlling a gearbox, comprising:
- a) a shift lever mounted by a bearing in a housing for tilting movements;
- b) a rotating element arranged above the bearing and interacting with the shift lever such that the tilting movements of the shift lever effect rotation of the rotating element, the rotating element being a rotatably arranged disk and the shift lever extending through a slit in the disk so that a tilting of the shift lever causes a rotation of the disk;
- and
- c) a sensor detecting the angular position of the rotating element and transforming it into electrical signals.

- a) a shift lever mounted by a bearing in a housing for tilting movements;
- b) a rotating element arranged above the bearing and interacting with the shift lever such that the tilting movements of the shift lever effect rotation of the rotating element, the rotating element being a rotatably arranged hemisphere and the shift lever extending through a slit in the hemisphere so that a tilting of the shift lever causes a rotation of the hemisphere;
- and
- c) a sensor detecting the angular position of the rotating element and transforming it into electrical signals.
