TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY FOR A POWERTRAIN OF A VEHICLE
A transmission assembly for a powertrain of a vehicle, includes, a control device and a transmission housing for housing a transmission, the control device mountable to the transmission housing and including a transmission mounting surface adapted to face the transmission housing, the transmission housing including a control device mounting surface adapted to face the control device, one of the transmission mounting surface and the control device mounting surface including a groove including at least a first and a second step deeper than the first step, and the other of the transmission mounting surface and the control device mounting surface including an outwardly extending guiding member configured to be received in the groove, configured so that the outwardly extending guiding member can slide in the first step until it reaches the second step, whereafter the transmission mounting surface can be moved towards the control device mounting surface or vice versa.
DRIVE DEVICE
A drive device includes: an actuator rotating, around a rotation axis, a shift drum having a lead groove formed on an outer peripheral surface; and an angle correction unit correcting a detection value of a rotation angle sensor that detects a rotation angle of the shift drum. The angle correction unit calculates the rotation angle of the shift drum at a reference position as a learning angle based on a correspondence between a displacement amount of a first engaging portion and a change amount of the rotation angle of the shift drum per a predetermined time of rotation of the shift drum at a predetermined speed. Then, the angle correction unit corrects the detection value of the rotation angle sensor based on an amount of deviation between the learning angle and a design angle.
GEAR MULTIPLYING APPARATUS
There is provided a gearbox apparatus in which the number of gears selectable by a user to drive a drive shaft is greater than the number of gears physically connected to the drive shaft of the gearbox. This apparatus can be controlled remotely by a wireless signal emitting or receiving electronic device, which includes a smart phone, desktop computer, a signal tower, and the like
Transmission with shift drum, angular sensor outputting rotation of shift drum as output value and control unit correcting output value
A transmission includes a shift drum, an angular sensor, and a control unit. The control unit has reference values of the output values at a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle of the shift drum. The control unit is configured to obtain the output values at the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle as a first output value and a second output value, respectively. The control unit is configured to correct the output value output between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle based on a difference between the first output value and the reference value at the first rotation angle and a difference between the second output value and the reference value at the second rotation angle.
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.
Methods and systems for an actuation system
Methods and systems are provided for an actuation system for a driveline shifting member in a transmission system of a vehicle. In one example, a system may include an actuator coupled to a lever arm via one or more parallel axis gears, and a shaft connecting the lever arm to a driveline shifting member, the lever arm driven via a rolling element housed within a slot in the lever arm aligned with a center of a parallel axis gear of the one or more parallel axis gears.
Shifting device
A speed change device for shifting the gear of a transmission. The transmission includes a first shifter shaft, a first shifter element associated to the first shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the first shifter shaft for actuating a first set of gears. It further comprises a second shifter shaft and a second shifter element associated to the second shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the second shifter shaft for actuating a second set of gears. One of said first and second shifter shafts is hollow and the other of said first and second shifter shafts is partly arranged coaxially inside the hollow shaft.
Actuation mechanism
An actuation mechanism for use in a vehicle. The actuation mechanism includes one or more motors having an output shaft with a sun gear. At least a portion of the sun gear is drivingly connected to at least a portion of one or more planetary gears. The one or more planetary gears are drivingly connected to at least a portion of a carrier, a fixed non-rotating ring gear and an output gear. The disclosure further relates to a method of operating an actuation mechanism that is drivingly connected to at least a portion of a vehicle parking mechanism. The method includes providing an actuation mechanism, providing a parking mechanism and one or more sensors that are operably configured to collect an amount of data to be analyzed. Based on the data analyzed, one or more failures within the parking mechanism may be determined and an alert may be sent.
TRANSMISSION WITH 1 AXIS SHIFT MECHANISM
A transmission including a one-axis shift mechanism is provided. The transmission including a one-axis shift mechanism includes a transmission including a shift mechanism in which a shift fork is slidably coupled to a shift rail, and the shift fork includes a sleeve that allows the shift fork to be meshed with a gear portion coupled to an input shaft, the transmission including a motor, a first shift gear which is connected to the motor and moves according to rotation of the motor, a second shift gear arranged at one end of the shift rail and secured to the first shift gear, and a sliding pin arranged at the other end of the shift rail and configured to slide the shift fork by contacting a sliding protrusion arranged around an insertion hole of the shift fork, into which the shift rail is inserted.
