Abstract
A gear position locking mechanism of a vehicle is presented. The vehicle has a gear lever unit and a gear box. The gear box is provided with a gear position sensor. The gear position locking mechanism of the vehicle includes a driving unit and a rocker arm. After receiving a target position signal sensed by the gear position sensor, the driving unit drives the rocker arm to automatically lock the gear lever unit, so that a gear lever of the gear lever unit cannot be shifted by hand. As the rocker arm is provided to prevent a gear position from being directly shifted by hand, the structural design inside the gear lever unit or the gear box does not need to be changed.
