Method of mitigating overshoot in transmission shift selector
09816605 · 2017-11-14 · ·

The present disclosure relates to various shift selector assemblies having a shift gate with a plurality of indentations corresponding to transmission shift selections. At least one of the indentations is configured to have a flexible depth so as to selectively restrict and accept a pawl pin, thereby mitigating shift position overshoot.

Shifting device for vehicle

A shifting device for a vehicle includes a rotary operating member and a base member. The rotary operating member includes a rotary shaft. The base member has a bearing surface around a bearing hole. The rotary shaft is fitted in the bearing hole, and the bearing surface receives an outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. A pair of flat surfaces are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. The pair of flat surfaces are configured such that one flat surface of the pair of flat surfaces is located between a pair of circumferential end edges of the bearing surface, within a predetermined rotating angle range of the rotary operating member.

System, method, and apparatus for operating a high efficiency, high output transmission

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets controls the shift actuator with actuating and opposing pulses, and interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

GEARSHIFT DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A SELECTOR LEVER POSITION IN A GEARSHIFT DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION

The disclosure relates to a shifting device for a vehicle transmission. The shifting device comprises a gearshift lever for selecting a transmission setting of the vehicle transmission, wherein the gearshift lever can move along at least one first shift gate and one second shift gate, a marking element mechanically coupled to the gearshift lever, having at least one first marking line dedicated to the first shift gate and one second marking line dedicated to the second shift gate, a guide assembly, which is configured to guide the marking element along the first marking line to a detection position when the gearshift lever is moved along the first shift gate, and to move the marking element along the second marking line to the detection position when the gearshift lever is moved along the second shift gate, and lastly, a detection device, which is disposed at the detection position and is configured to create a movement signal representing a movement of the first marking line and/or the second marking line in relation to the detection position, in order to determine a position of the gearshift lever in the first shift gate and/or the second shift gate.

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION RANGE SELECTION SYSTEM INCLUDING A BEZEL WITH LOCATING FEATURES

A transmission shifter assembly includes a shifter and a shifter bezel. The shifter includes a shifter body and a shifter handle movably coupled to the shifter body. The shifter bezel includes a bezel body and defines a handle opening extending through the bezel body. The handle opening is sized to partially receive the shifter handle. The shifter handle extends through the handle opening. The transmission shifter assembly further includes a plurality of locating features, such as shock absorbers, interconnecting the shifter bezel and the shifter body in order to align the shifter bezel relative to the shifter.

Control device for a crawler vehicle

A control device for a crawler vehicle, comprising a control lever activated by an operator about a fulcrum and having a free end, the control lever being displaceable along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a proximal position closer to the operator and a distal position further from the operator in order to control a main clutch of the vehicle, the control device further comprising a support element suitable for being fixed to a body of the vehicle in order to support an operator's hand when the hand acts on the control lever, wherein the control lever has an intermediate portion interposed between the free end and the fulcrum, the intermediate portion being so shaped as to partially embrace the support element in the proximal position.
