A parking lock for a transmission of a motor vehicle may include a park gear rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an actuation device adjustable into a locking position and an unlocking position radially relative to the axis of rotation. In the unlocking position, rotating of the park gear may be possible, and in the locking position, rotating of the park gear may be prevented by way of positive locking. The actuation device may include a shifting drum and a locking lever, wherein the shifting drum may be rotatable about a guiding axis that is radial relative to the axis of rotation. The locking lever, by way of a guide track formed in the shifting drum, may interact with the guide track so that when the shifting drum is rotated, the locking lever may be guidable by the guide track radially relative to the axis of rotation and parallel to the guiding axis, and thereby the actuation device may be adjustable into the locking position and into the unlocking position.

Methods and systems for a gear mechanism that includes one or more actuators operable to activate or deactivate in order to drive or be driven by sequential engagement with one or more cam features incorporated within an interior of a ring gear.

An automotive synchronizer slider assembly includes a slider body with two connecting grooves symmetrically arranged thereon. The slider body has a top, a bottom, and a middle. A first boss and a second boss are provided on the top of the slider body. The first boss and the second boss have mounting grooves for a steel ball, and the first boss has provided on a top thereof two or more clips. Pressure plates are provided at the bottom of the slider body. A mounting part has a top and a bottom, and a spring mounting hole positioned between the top and the bottom. The top of the mounting part is connected to the second boss, and the bottom of the mounting part has a hole therein. A steel ball is mounted in the mounting grooves and retained in the slider body by the two clips. A fastening spring having a top and a bottom is mounted in the spring mounting hole. The bottom of the fastening spring abuts the bottom of the mounting part proximate the hole therein, and the top of the fastening spring abuts the steel ball.

In order to achieve a simple and miniaturized structure, there is provided an interlock mechanism including a shaft disposed to be movable in an axial direction and rotatable in a rotation direction, an interlock member disposed coaxially with an outer peripheral side of the shaft so as to be rotatable integrally with the shaft in the rotation direction and immovable in the axial direction, and configured to include a first main body portion, a second main body portion, and a connection pin, a first fork from which a fork head protrudes, and a second fork from which a fork head protrudes. A first engagement target portion engaging with the fork head is cut out in the first main body portion of the interlock member. A second engagement target portion engaging with the fork head is cut out in the second main body portion of the interlock member.

An actuator assembly that includes a frame, an output member, a latch and a spring. The output member is movable along an axis relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. The latch has a first latch member, which is movable along the axis, and a second latch member that is coupled to the output member. The second latch member is configured to engage the first latch member to retain the actuator output member in the first position. The spring exerts a force on the actuator output member when the second latch member engages the first latch member to retain the actuator output member in the first position. The force is configured to urge the actuator output member toward the second position when the second latch member is disengaged from the first latch member.

Disclosed are a common control apparatus for parking and a clutch, an operating method thereof, and a vehicle. The common control apparatus for parking and a clutch comprises a parking mechanism, a clutch mechanism, and a motor; the parking mechanism comprises a positioning plate, a rotating drum connected to the positioning plate, a cam groove formed on the rotating drum, an elastic positioner, and positioning grooves; the positioning plate rotates under the driving of the motor; the elastic positioner interacts with the positioning grooves; the rotating drum can rotate to positions corresponding to parking lock, parking disengagement, clutch engagement, and clutch disengagement; the clutch mechanism comprises a clutch shifting fork assembly and a shifting fork driving cam; the cam groove comprises a straight groove and an engagement rotation groove; and when the shifting fork driving cam is located in the engagement rotation groove, the engagement rotation groove is engaged with the shifting fork driving cam to drive the clutch shifting fork assembly to move axially. The present invention simultaneously controls the disengagement and engagement of the parking mechanism and the clutch by means of one motor, and the apparatus has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, low cost, and high efficiency.

A driving apparatus includes a rotary electric machine configured to output rotation in a first direction and rotation in a second direction, a fluid pump and an actuator that are configured to operate with the output of the rotary electric machine as power, and a one-way clutch provided between the rotary electric machine and the actuator. The fluid pump is configured to intake and discharge a fluid when at least the rotation in the first direction is input. The one-way clutch is configured to block the rotation in the first direction and transmit the rotation in the second direction. The actuator includes a shift drum configured to rotate in one direction in response to the rotation in the second direction transmitted via the one-way clutch, and a shift fork engaged with the shift drum. The shift fork has a plurality of operating states including at least a first state and a second state, and alternately transitions between the first state and the second state in response to the rotation of the shift drum in the one direction.

An interrocker assembly for a transmission includes at least two shift forks for actuating gears in the transmission, each of the at least two shift forks being pivotal and having an end offset relative to each other, at least two actuators cooperating with the at least two shift forks, one of the at least two actuators cooperating with one of the at least two shift forks, and an interrocker being pivotally movable and cooperating with each of the at least two shift forks to securely prevent two gears from being engaged at the same time.

A manual transmission includes: a shift selection shaft (20); a shift inner lever (32) including an arm portion (32b) provided on an outer side of a tubular portion (32a) so as to project outwardly in a radial direction; an interlock plate (34) including a projection (34b) provided on an outer side of a boss portion (34a) so as to project outwardly in the radial direction; and a reverse shift arm (41) supported by a transmission case (C) via a bracket (42) in a pivoting manner.
