Automatic gear-shifting device
A gear-shifting device is disclosed. The device comprises a first motor having a first rotor. The first rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise, creating a wobbling action. The device further comprises a compound planetary transmission, comprising a transmission ring attached to a ring gear. The compound planetary transmission receives power from the first rotor. The device further comprises a second motor having a second rotor. The second rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise. The device further comprises a shift assembly, comprising a drum, a cap, and a pinion gear. The pinion gear receives power from the second rotor. The drum locks with the pinion gear such that the drum rotates with the pinion gear. The transmission ring is attached to the drum, such that the transmission ring moves laterally as the drum rotates. The ring gear locks and unlocks with the cap as the drum rotates. The wobbling action enables the locking.
METHOD AND CONTROL APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A POSITIVE SHIFT ELEMENT OF A TRANSMISSION OF A VEHICLE, TRANSMISSION AND VEHICLE
Disclosed is a method for operating an interlocking shifting element of a transmission of a vehicle, the interlocking shifting element having shifting element halves which can be moved relative to one another when opening and closing the interlocking shifting element. An electric actuator is arranged to about the relative movement between the shifting element halves when the interlocking shifting element is opened and/or closed. After recognizing a tooth-on-tooth position in the interlocking shifting element, a target torque to be applied at the transmission input is determined as a function of an electric current strength through the electric actuator of the interlocking shifting element, where the target torque is sufficient to resolve the tooth-on-tooth position in the interlocking shifting element.
