Abstract:
An automatic park lock for an off road or recreational utility vehicle includes a shift interlock solenoid with a spring biased plunger engaging and locking an operator shift lever in the park position. A cam surface on the operator shift lever slopes between a first end and a second end, and has a groove to lock the plunger to the park position. A controller energizes the shift interlock solenoid to retract the plunger when a plurality of operating parameters are satisfied.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention is to provide a shift apparatus that performs switching of shift ranges of a vehicle, the shift apparatus including: an operation member; a shift control section; and a regulation mechanism, wherein the shift control section is configured to select a second range when the operation member moves from a first position to a second position before being regulated by the regulation mechanism, and the shift control section is configured to select a first range when that a shift mechanism is in a shift restriction state and the operation member moves from the first position to the second position before being regulated by the regulation mechanism, and to allow an operation control section to execute the regulation by the regulation mechanism.
Abstract:
A shifter assembly having a housing supporting a detent locking wheel with a biasing return spring. A plunger housing subassembly is rotatably supported within the locking wheel and operating in response to an external input to be rotated between each of Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive gear shift positions. An electric motor is supported by the housing and is linked to a lock lever, an extending portion of the lock lever engaging the locking wheel. A PCB board is integrated into the housing and is communicable with at least one external sensor associated with a driver exit condition. Upon a triggering of the exit condition with the shifter in other than a Park position, the motor being energized to retract the lock lever to permit the return spring to rotate the wheel to the Park position.
Abstract:
An integrated apparatus for implementing shift lock and shift lock release functions of an automatic transmission vehicle includes a shift lock solenoid having a plunger capable of moving forward and backward; a shift lock release lever forcibly moving the plunger backward by coming into contact with the plunger when moving toward the shift lock solenoid; and a casing coupling the shift lock solenoid and shift lock release lever to be integrally modularized.
Abstract:
A transmission shifting assistance device, in particular for a motorcycle, is provided. The transmission shifting assistance device, which allows shifting when the clutch is closed, includes a housing, a piston arranged in the housing, and at least one pressure spring provided in the housing. The piston may be moved relative to the housing by compressing at least one pressure spring. Furthermore, transmission shifting assistance device further includes a locking device separate from the at least one pressure spring. The locking device fixes the piston in a neutral position relative to the housing below a predetermined unlocking force exerted on the piston or the housing.
Abstract:
A method for operating a multi-stable shift-by wire selector control system of a motor vehicle transmission. The multi-stable shift-by wire selector control system includes a multi-stable selector which is operable by the driver of the vehicle to select a respective one of the operating modes of the transmission, an arrangement of illuminated labels indicating the selector mode and an indexing mechanism for maintaining the immobilization of the selector in its different positions.
Abstract:
A shift control apparatus includes a charging state detecting unit that detects a charging state, a shift lever that is held at a predetermined reference position, a limiting member that validates an operation of the shift lever located at the reference position when the limiting member is operated and a controller that validates a shift operation of the shift lever from the reference position to a predetermined operation position when the charging state of a vehicle is not detected and an operating amount of the limiting member is equal to or larger than a first changing condition amount and validates the operation of the shift lever from the reference position to the predetermined operation position when the charging state of the vehicle is detected and the operating amount of the limiting member is equal to or larger than a second changing condition amount.
Abstract:
A manual gear shifter assembly includes a shifter housing, a shift lever pivotally mounted to the shifter housing displaceable in a select direction to move between at least a first shift gate and a second shift gate, and in at least one shift direction for shifting the gears of the transmission, a shift cable coupled to the shift lever and the transmission, a blocker mounted in the shifter housing and operatively cooperating with the shift lever, a select lever pivotally mounted to the shifter housing with the select lever cooperating with the shift lever to allow displacement of the shift lever in the select direction to move between the shift gates, and a solenoid disposed in the shifter housing and cooperating with the blocker to physically block the displacement of the shift lever into a predetermined gear for inhibiting shifting of the transmission during a predetermined condition.
Abstract:
The present disclosure creates a magnetic device for locking a gear shift lever of a vehicle in a predetermined position, wherein the magnetic device has a coil, a tie component, which is or can be movably supported in the coil, and a spring, which is disposed outside the coil, wherein the spring is designed to push the tie component out of the coil.
Abstract:
Disclosed therein is an automatic transmission lever assembly having a shift-lock cam having an electromagnet. The automatic transmission lever assembly includes: a base bracket fixed to a frame of a vehicle; a rod; a rotating member joined to a lower end of the rod, the rotating member rotating on a predetermined shaft according to a movement of the rod for changing a transmission mode and having a locking portion formed at a position corresponding to a shift-lock; a shift-lock cam having a permanent magnet, the shift-lock cam being caught to the locking portion at a shift-lock position and being rotatable on the shaft; and an electromagnet provided at a position facing the permanent magnet, wherein when a brake signal is transferred, electric current flows to the electromagnet, so that the shift-lock cam is operated in a direction to be released from the locking portion.
