Vehicle two-power-source dual driving assembly
The present disclosure discloses a vehicle two-power-source dual driving assembly, wherein, the vehicle two-power-source dual driving assembly comprises two sets of driving units that are symmetrically arranged, the two sets of driving units connect to a same set of vehicle axle half shafts, each of the sets of driving units is provided with a power source and an automatic transmission, and each of the automatic transmissions connects to one of the vehicle axle half shafts. The automatic transmission is provided therein with an input shaft, an intermediate shaft and an output shaft that are parallel, the input shaft, the intermediate shaft and the output shaft are provided thereon with multistage gears with different transmission ratios, the power source connects to the input shaft, and the output shaft connects to a left half shaft or a right half shaft of the vehicle axle half shaft. The present disclosure can realize transmission of two speed ratios, with flexible transmission modes, which shortens the axial size of the driving assembly, which cannot only satisfy the acceleration capability and climbing ability of the vehicle but also satisfy the demand on high vehicle speed.
Park lock with dog clutch and ball ramp
Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle park lock. In one example, the park lock may be configured with a first portion having a first set of teeth and a second portion having a second set of teeth configured to engage with the first set of teeth. The first portion may be coupled to a rotating part of the vehicle while the second portion may be coupled to a stationary part of the vehicle. The second portion may include actuating devices to actuate the sliding of the second set of teeth, the actuating devices including a motion source, elastic elements, and one or more ramps.
AXLE DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY
An axle disconnect assembly, including: a housing and a clutch a shaft with first splines; a sleeve including second splines non-rotatably connected to the first splines, and axially extending teeth; a shift lever including at least one pivot pin, a first end connected to the sleeve, and a second end; and an actuation assembly including an actuation shaft engaged with the second end of the shift lever, and an actuator. In a connect mode, the teeth are non-rotatably connected to a power output. In a disconnect mode, the sleeve is rotatable with respect to the power output. To shift from the disconnect mode to the connect mode: the actuator rotates the actuator shaft; the actuator shaft pivots the shift lever around an axis of the at least one pivot pin; and the first end of the shift lever displaces the sleeve, with respect to the shaft, in an axial direction.
SHIFTING DEVICE
A shifting device (1) for the powertrain of a motor vehicle, including a control shaft (10) for adjusting a control element (9), the control shaft (10) has a first sub-section (15) which can be driven by an actuator (36) and a second sub-section (16) which is designed to adjust the control element (9). The first sub-section (15) is rotatably mounted relative to the second sub-section (16). A spring element (11), via which a torque of the first sub-section (15) can be transmitted to the second sub-section (16), is provided between the two sub-sections (15, 16).

Clutch device
A prime mover includes a stator fixed to the housing and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator. The prime mover outputs torque by being supplied with electric power. A speed reducer reduces the torque of the prime mover and outputs the reduced torque. A rotational translation unit includes a rotation portion that rotates relative to the housing upon receiving the torque from the speed reducer, and a translation portion that moves relative to the housing in an axial direction. A clutch allows torque transmission in an engaged state, and interrupts the torque transmission in a disengaged state. A state changing unit changes the state of the clutch by receiving a force along the axial direction from the translation portion. Cogging torque generated between the rotor and the stator is set to such a magnitude that the rotor is stoppable at any rotation position relative to the stator.
