GEAR SHIFT CALIBRATION
In some implementations, a controller may cause a gearbox coupled to a rotor to shift between a first gear ratio and a second gear ratio one or more times. The controller may obtain a first set of position data that identifies respective first positions of a gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the first gear ratio, and a second set of position data that identifies respective second positions of the gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the second gear ratio. The controller may determine a first calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the first gear ratio based on the first set of position data and a second calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the second gear ratio based on the second set of position data.
Methods and system for engine control during gear shifting in a hybrid electric vehicle
Methods and systems are provided for controlling engine operation in response to a request to shift a transmission gear. In one example, a method may include maintaining operating conditions of an engine and redirecting electric power generated via the engine from a traction motor to a battery in response to a request to shift a transmission while the driveline is operating in a series mode. In this way engine efficiency may be improved and a time frame for shifting a transmission gear may be reduced responsive to a gear shift request while the powertrain is operating in series mode.
Gear Shifting Apparatus, Electric Drive System, and New Energy Vehicle
A gear shifting apparatus in a new energy vehicle includes a primary power transmission unit, a secondary power transmission unit, an intermediate shaft, an intermediate shaft gear, a first clutch unit, a second clutch unit, and a third clutch unit. The intermediate shaft gear is fixedly sleeved on the intermediate shaft, and the first clutch unit is disposed between the intermediate shaft and the primary power transmission unit. The second clutch unit is disposed between the intermediate shaft and the secondary power transmission unit. The third clutch unit is disposed between the primary power transmission unit and the intermediate shaft gear.
REVERSE GEAR SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
A system and method for operating the same includes a drive sprocket assembly, a clutch lever, a user interface generating a reverse signal at a user interface, a wheel speed sensor generating a wheel speed signal, a transmission position sensor generating a transmission position signal and a vehicle control module receiving the reverse signal, the wheel speed signal and the transmission position signal. The vehicle control module engages a reverse gear at a drive sprocket in response to the reverse signal, the wheel speed and transmission gear position and controls the drive sprocket assembly in response to the clutch lever.
Gear selection and shifting actuating mechanism and method
An actuating mechanism includes a gear shifting motor, a first transmission gear, second transmission gears, gear shifting screws, a push block, a shift fork, a shift block and a linear driving device. An output shaft of the gear shifting motor is provided thereon with the first transmission gear engaged with the second transmission gears; the second transmissions gears are fixedly connected to the gear shifting screws; the gear shifting screws are in screw thread connection with the push block provided thereon with a through hole; one end of the shift block is connected to the linear driving device, and the other end is aligned with a groove on the shift fork after inserting into the through hole. The linear driving device corresponding to a shift position drives the shift block; the gear shifting motor drives the first transmission gear; and the second transmission gears drive the gear shifting screws.

METHOD FOR HYSTERESIS COMPENSATION IN AN ACTUATOR AND A SELECTOR FORK THAT IS ADJUSTABLY BY THIS ACTUATOR
A method for hysteresis compensation in an actuator and a selector fork that is adjustable by this actuator and guides a sliding sleeve, by means of a state machine, wherein the selector fork is moved by means of the actuator from a first shift position (xDecoup), namely a neutral position, into at least one second shift position (xCoup), namely a gear position, and vice versa, wherein the position of the actuator (phiAtr, phiCoup, phiDecoup), in the event of a shift request into the neutral position (xDecoup) or into the gear position (xCoup), is corrected on the basis of stored mechanical backlash (phiBL) between the actuator and the selector fork and of a sign (+1, 0, −1) generated by the state machine and associated with the particular shift request.
