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.

The present invention provides a rotary shaft assembly applied to a novel clutch system that ensures a 100% torque transmission rate between an engine and a transmission in a vehicle system and can be commonly applied to conventional manual transmission vehicles and automatic vehicles. The rotary shaft assembly converts linear motion of one member to rotary motion of another member, using a combination of a protrusion and an inclined guide slot.

A dual-shaft clutch varying speed device includes a drive unit, an input shaft, an output shaft, a housing, at least an odd-numbered clutch unit and at least an even-numbered clutch unit. The input shaft having an input gear is coupled with the drive unit. The output shaft, having an end thereof penetrate through the input shaft and the drive unit, has at least an odd-numbered output gear and at least an even-numbered output gear. The housing has a housing gear. The at least one odd-numbered clutch unit being furnished at the inner part of the housing has an odd-numbered clutch shaft and an odd-numbered clutch gear which is meshed with the odd-numbered output gear. The at least one odd-numbered clutch unit has an even-numbered clutch shaft and an even-numbered clutch gear which is meshed with the even-numbered output gear.

A one-way ratchet overrunning clutch includes first and second concentric races, the first race having pockets configured to contain pawls, each pocket including a boss having an exterior convex surface defining an arc of about 180. Each pawl is supported on one boss, and is adapted to ratchet about the boss to selectively lock the races together. Each pawl has a J-shaped body including a pair of legs joined by a hook portion that with one of the legs defines a concave surface. The concave surface is configured to partially engage a complementary exterior convex surface of a corresponding boss, and the concave surface defines an arc ranging from 90 to at least 150 adapted to circumscribe an identical range of the convex surface of the corresponding boss. The interactive convex and concave surfaces of respective pawl and boss elements provide an effective pawl retention system under centrifugal forces.

A driving device including a drive shaft and a first engaging member. The drive shaft rotates around a first axis. The first engaging member is disposed on the first axis to rotate integrally with the drive shaft. The power transmission mechanism includes a second engaging member, a propeller shaft, a piston, and a reduction gear. The second engaging member is disposed on the first axis engageable with/disengageable from the first engaging member. The propeller shaft is rotatable integrally with the second engaging member around the first axis. The piston reciprocates the second engaging member between a first position and a second position along a direction of the first axis. The reduction gear is joined to the other end side of the propeller shaft to decelerate the rotation of the propeller shaft. The reduction gear causes an output shaft joined to an object to rotate around a second axis.
