MANUAL TRANSMISSION LOCK FOR PARKING ASSISTANCE
20230043711 · 2023-02-09 ·

A gearshift lock for a gearbox includes a gearshift cylinder and a pawl wheel with a toothing. The gearshift lock includes a rotatably positioned pawl, and the pawl engages in the toothing of the pawl wheel in a locked position, and is disengaged from the pawl wheel in a freewheeling position. The pawl is pretensioned by a spring element in the direction of the locked position, and an engagement element is connected to the pawl. The engagement element holds the pawl in the freewheeling position by directly interacting with the gearshift cylinder against the effect of the spring element when the gearshift cylinder takes up a rotational position in a freewheeling rotational range, and the pawl can be released from the gearshift cylinder into a locked position by the engagement element when the gearshift cylinder takes up a rotational position in a locked rotational range.

SHIFTER ASSEMBLY INCLUDING DISPLAY AND ACTUATION FOR DRIVER CONTROL
20180003294 · 2018-01-04 ·

A shifter assembly for a vehicle that includes a shift lever connected to a shifter in communication with the vehicle and a transmission. A display is positioned on the shift lever indicating data of the vehicle or transmission. A start button is positioned on the shift lever and is linked with an ignition of the vehicle.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION WITH CREEPER MODE SELECTION
20180010684 · 2018-01-11 ·

A mechanical creeper mode selection system for a transmission of a work vehicle is provided, in which the transmission includes one or more range modes having one or more range mode shift mechanisms each driven by an electrohydraulic circuit. The system includes a creeper mode selection lever movable by an operator to select a creeper gear range. The system also includes a sensor that observes a position of the creeper mode selection lever and generates sensor signals based thereon. The system includes a controller that processes the sensor data to determine a movement of the creeper mode selection lever and outputs one or more control signals to the electrohydraulic circuit to position the one or more range mode shift mechanisms in a range neutral mode based on the movement of the creeper mode selection lever.

Steering wheel mounted display assembly retaining upright orientation regardless of rotated position

A steering wheel mounted visual display including a housing incorporated at a location defined within a circumference of the steering wheel and having a graphical display output. Upon rotation of the steering wheel, the display adjusts to remain in an upright orientation. The housing further includes a main lower housing and an assemble-able upper housing sandwiching a display component providing the graphical display output. The display component further includes a stationary inner component, a display support and a PCB component cooperating for auto-updating the graphical display output in response to rotation of the steering wheel.

Transmission selector for vehicles

The disclosure provides a transmission selector for a vehicle. The transmission selector for a vehicle includes: a transmission selector element including a first switch and a second switch, and a control circuit. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a first threshold, the control circuit switches the current gear to D in response to the selection operation received by the first switch, and the control circuit switches the current gear to R in response to the selection operation received by the second switch. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than the first threshold and the vehicle meets the specified conditions, the control circuit controls the vehicle to switch the current gear in response to a long-press operation whose execution of the selection operation received by the first switch or the second switch reaches a first specified time.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SHIFT MECHANISM FOR VEHICLE

A system and method of controlling a shift mechanism for a vehicle, includes a shift determination unit configured to determine information on a shifting stage of the vehicle according to an operation of the shift mechanism; and a control unit configured to receive the information on the shifting stage from the shift determination unit and to transmit a signal such that vibration is generated in the shift mechanism when the shifting stage switched by operation of the shift mechanism is a drivable shifting stage, wherein when a driver operates the shift mechanism to switch a shifting stage to a drivable shifting stage, a signal according to the corresponding shifting stage is transmitted to enable the driver to recognize the switched shifting stage and thus to prevent erroneous operation, ensuring driving safety.

Jamming protection apparatus of shift lever for vehicle
11506282 · 2022-11-22 · ·

An embodiment method of operating a vehicle comprises detecting a first position of a shift lever, determining whether the first position of the shift lever is in a normal state or an abnormal state, and, in response to the first position of the shift lever being in the abnormal state, moving a detent portion of a housing relative to a contact portion of the shift lever in accordance with pre-stored position data.

VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PARKING THEREOF
20220356943 · 2022-11-10 · ·

In a vehicle including a shift-by-wire (SBW) transmission which may be parked in the neutral gear position of the transmission, method for controlling parking thereof includes determining whether the vehicle is in a situation in which neutral parking is required according to sensor information, when the vehicle is stopped, outputting first information configured to get a confirmation on whether a driver intends to perform the neutral parking from the driver, when the controller concludes that the vehicle is in the situation in which the neutral parking is required and when a park (P) gear position is input or an ignition of the vehicle is turned off, and controlling the SBW transmission to shift to a neutral (N) gear position, when there is an agreement input as a response to the first information.

VEHICLE PARK-LOCK CONTROL METHOD AND PARK-LOCK CONTROL DEVICE

A vehicle park lock control method is presented with range positions including a P-range position and an N-range position in each of which a driving force is prevented from being transmitted to a driving wheel of a vehicle. A park lock mechanism is activated when in the P-range position. An operator is allowed to select whether or not to cause the park lock mechanism to be activated in response to key-off operation when in the N-range position. In response to continuous shifting of a range selector to one or more specific ones of the range positions, the park lock mechanism is prevented from being activated in response to key-off operation when in the N-range position.
