A rotating electrical machine and an input member are placed on a first axis, a counter gear mechanism is placed on a second axis, and a differential gear mechanism is placed on a third axis. The input member, the counter gear mechanism, and the differential gear mechanism have portions placed on an axial first side with respect to the rotating electrical machine. A pump portion is placed on the opposite side of an imaginary plane passing through the first axis and the third axis from the second axis, and is placed at a location that overlaps at least one of the rotating electrical machine and the differential gear mechanism in an axial view. The pump portion is placed on the axial first side with respect to the rotating electrical machine.

An actuator includes a control part, a first rotation sensor, and a second rotation sensor able to detect rotation of an output shaft. The control part performs a first rotation angle acquisition control for acquiring a target rotation angle of the output shaft when a movable part is moved from the second position to the first position as a first rotation angle. The first rotation angle is a rotation angle of the output shaft that is closer to the second position side than when the movable part abuts the first wall part. In the first rotation angle acquisition control, the control part causes the movable part abuts the first wall part, acquires a rotation angle of the output shaft when the movable part has abutted the first wall part, and calculates the first rotation angle based on the rotation angle of the output shaft that has been acquired.

A rotation restriction control device comprises a selection unit that selects a rotation restriction state, on the basis of a road surface when parking a vehicle traveling on the road surface, and a control unit that controls a rotation restriction state of a restriction mechanism in accordance with a selection result from the selection unit when parking the vehicle.

A parking mechanism includes an actuator having a manual shaft rotating around the first axis, a flange provided on an outer periphery of the manual shaft, a cam rod having a coupling portion coupled to the flange and a rod body moveable along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis with a movement of the flange, a coil spring attached to the rod body, a cam that is attached to the rod body and moves along the second axis by motion of the rod body transmitting via the coil spring, a pawl member having a meshing portion and operating with a movement of the cam, and a parking gear having a tooth portion with which the meshing portion meshes. The self-holding torque of the actuator is larger than the torque applied to the manual shaft at the time of maximum compression of the coil spring.

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including valley parts corresponding to a shift position; a positioning member provided to establish the shift position in a state of being fitted into any one of the valley parts; a motor including a rotor and a stator and driving the shift switching member; a speed reduction mechanism section rotating the shift switching member in a state in which a rotation speed transmitted from the motor is reduced; a rotor rotational angle sensor detecting a rotational angle of the rotor; and an output shaft rotational angle sensor detecting a rotational angle of the shift switching member. The shift device detects the number of rotations of the motor based on association between output values of the output shaft rotational angle sensor and the rotor rotational angle sensor.

A number of variations may include a product comprising an output shaft having a radial flange comprising a plurality of teeth; a range shifter operatively connected to the output shaft constructed and arranged to selectively shift a vehicle between a low range, high range, and neutral mode; a mode shifter operatively connected to the output shaft constructed and arranged to shift the vehicle between a four-wheel and two-wheel drive mode; a dual drive gear operatively attached to the output shaft between the range shifter and the mode shifter constructed and arranged so that rotation of the dual drive gear drives the range shifter and the mode shifter; and at least one plunger radially displaced around the output shaft which is actuated by the dual drive gear to engage a slot between the plurality of teeth on the output shaft to prevent rotation of the shaft during a range shift.

A device including a housing, a powertrain device, a lock, and a carrier, wherein the powertrain device is arranged at least in sections in the housing, wherein the lock includes a housing element, wherein the housing includes a recess, wherein the lock is at least partially arranged in the recess and connected to the housing, wherein the lock is configured as a mechanical lock for controlled locking of the powertrain device, wherein the carrier is connected to the housing and is arranged at least in sections on an outside of the lock such that a removal of the locking device is only possible after removal of the carrier, and wherein the carrier is configured so as to enable a fastening of the device.

A hybrid transmission system with a multi-speed gearbox. The multi-speed gearbox is configured to rotationally couple a prime mover and an electric machine to different gear ratios during a hybrid drive mode. The multi-speed gearbox includes an electric drive interface gear positioned coaxial to a first primary shaft and a second primary shaft and idly mounted, free to spin, to the second primary shaft and an output shaft that includes an output shaft gear which is fixedly coupled thereto meshes with a gear on a secondary shaft.

In response to driver selection of PARK, a vehicle transmission is commanded to momentarily select and hold NEUTRAL before PARK, while a vehicle wheel brake is applied. Such an arrangement avoids trapping torque in the driveline, and thus can obviate pawl ‘thump’ when PARK is next disengaged.

The invention relates to a parking brake for a motor vehicle, including a pivotable locking mechanism for applying a retaining force to a parking brake gear. The locking mechanism can lock into the parking brake gear by means of an axially movable first actuation unit. According to the invention, the first actuation unit is designed as a spring-loaded cam follower. The invention also relates to an operating method for locking and unlocking the parking brake.
