A dial shift lever device for a vehicle may be provided that includes: a dial knob which is rotatable from a predetermined reference position by a user's operation for changing a shift stage; a button driving part which comprises a plurality of buttons disposed circumferentially in a receiving recess formed in a lower portion of the dial knob and generates a signal for selecting the shift stage as at least one of the plurality of buttons is pressed by rotation of the dial knob; and a guide assembly which is coupled to the lower portion of the dial knob and locks the rotation of the dial knob or releases the lock of the rotation of the dial knob.

Provided are an actuator and a vehicle transmission including the same. The actuator includes a magnet gear unit which transmits a driving force and a driving unit which drives the magnet gear unit. The magnet gear unit includes a first magnet, a second magnet disposed outside the first magnet to face the first magnet, and a pawl member inserted in parallel between the first magnet and the second magnet. The driving unit includes a circular rotor on a central axis, and any one of the first magnet, the second magnet or the pawl member is mounted to the rotor; a third magnet mounted along a circumference of the rotor: and a stator including an annular core having a plurality of protrusions that face the third magnet and coils connected to the protrusions.

A gearbox system for a vehicle includes an automated manual gearbox; a gearbox control device which controls the gearbox; a monostable toggle switch which is movable by a user in two deflection directions to select a plurality of driving ranges of the gearbox control device, and a visual device which displays graphically a gearshift diagram with driving ranges selectable by the monostable toggle switch. The gearbox control device has a further driving range which cannot be selected by the monostable toggle switch but can be exited by moving the monostable toggle switch. The visual device has at least one display to display a symbol indicating at least one deflection direction by which the further driving range can be exited. The gearbox control device may control the at least one display such that the symbol is only displayed when the further driving range is selected.

In a shift device, when a switch is operated, a moving portion, a first lock plate, a second lock plate and a third lock plate are moved toward a vehicle front side, and placement of the first lock plate, the second lock plate and the third lock plate at a return path is cancelled. Therefore, if the switch is operated when a lever is placed at other than a P position, due to a guide pin being moved along the return path toward an upper side by urging force of a return spring, the guide pin is returned to a vehicle front side end of a first lateral path, and the lever is returned to the P position. Due thereto, the lever can easily return to the P position from other than the P position.

An input device includes: an operating unit that is operated by a user; a detent pin that is displaceable along with an operation of the operating unit; a columnar detent member where a spiral groove about a predetermined axis A is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the detent member that is contact with the detent pin; and a motor (rotary driving part) that rotates the detent member about axis A.

An operating device includes: an operation member capable of being tilted from an operation reference position; a support body supporting the operation member such that the operation member can be tilted first and second movable members each supported by the support body so as to rotate in conjunction with the tilting operation of the operation member; a first magnetic member formed of a magnetic material and provided to the first movable member; a second magnetic member fanned from a magnetic, material and provided to the second movable member; and a permanent magnet supported by the support body so as to face the first and second magnetic members in a first direction while the operation member is positioned at the operation reference position. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member do not overlap each other seen from the first direction.

A control device for a vehicle including (i) a power transmission device, (ii) a shift operation device that is to be operated by a driver of the vehicle to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device, and (iii) a switching device for switching the shift position of the power transmission device through actuation of an actuator. The control device is configured, upon occurrence of a momentary interruption of a control-device electric-power source that is supplied with an electric power from a vehicle electric-power source, to not perform an initial position learning process for setting a reference position of the actuator, until a shift switching operation for switching the shift position of the power transmission device is performed by a driver of the vehicle.

Disclosure relates to a vehicle gear knob replacing a transmission structure including an R button, a D button, and an N button, with a gear rod method or a rotary jog/shuttle method, the vehicle gear knob including: a lower support including a pair of first grooves to which the R button and the D button are guided, respectively, and a second groove to which the N button is guided; an upper support provided above the lower support and blocking the R button, the D button, and the N button from being exposed; a press operation part coupled to the upper support and operating the N button by a pressing force; and a grip part provided above the press operation part and selectively operating the R button or the D button by using the lever principle, if a driver grips the grip part and applies force thereto.

An operation lever is rotatable in a vertical rotation direction about a vertical rotation shaft and rotatable in a front-rear rotation direction about a front-rear rotation shaft non-parallel to the vertical rotation shaft. An urging portion urges the operation lever to move to a predetermined initial position. A neutral cam portion rotates following a rotation of the operation lever in the vertical rotation direction; a forward/backward cam portion rotates following a rotation of the operation lever in the front-rear rotation direction; a neutral switch portion is pressed by the neutral cam portion and detects the pressing in a state where the neutral cam portion is rotated to a neutral pressing position; and a forward/backward switch portion is pressed by the forward/backward cam portion and detects the pressing in a state where the forward/backward cam portion is rotated to a forward pressing position or a backward pressing position.

A vehicle shifter including a shift lever; a bracket that moves in response to the shift lever, and includes a neutral lock notch, a first outer surface and a second outer surface on either side of the neutral lock notch; a solenoid actuator movable between a first position and a second position; a blocker coupled to the solenoid actuator that moves the blocker between a neutral lock release position and a neutral lock position, the blocker including a neutral lock hook that, when in the neutral lock position, moves along the first and second outer surfaces and that selectively falls into the neutral lock notch to selectively prevent shifting out of the neutral position; and a toggle cam coupled to the bracket including a catch for engaging the neutral lock hook so as to prevent the neutral lock hook from sliding into the neutral lock notch.
