Single motor transmission shifting mechanism for a motor vehicle transmission
View Patent ↗A single motor transmission shifting mechanism with exactly one electric motor for generating drive motions for selecting, and for generating drive motions for shifting gears of a motor vehicle transmission device, and with a threaded spindle for switching from a mode, in which selection motions can be effectuated, into a mode, in which shifting motions can be effectuated, and with a shifting shaft, which can be moved in axial direction for selecting, and which can be rotated around its longitudinal axis for shifting, wherein all components, transferring the drive load for shifting from the electric motor to the shifting shaft during shifting operation, maintain their axial position relative to the longitudinal axis of the threaded spindle during this shifting operation.
1. A single motor transmission shifting mechanism comprising:
exactly one electric motor ( 16 ) for generating drive motions for selecting and for generating drive motions for shifting gears of a motor vehicle transmission device;
a threaded spindle for switching from a mode in which selection motions can be effectuated, into a mode in which shifting motions can be effectuated; and,
a shifting shaft, which can be moved in axial direction for selecting, and which can be rotated around its longitudinal axis for shifting;
wherein all components, transferring the drive load for shifting from the electric motor to the shifting shaft during shifting operation, maintain their axial position relative to the longitudinal axis of the threaded spindle during this shifting operation.
2. The single motor transmission shifting mechanism recited in claim 1 , wherein a connection tube ( 32 ) with a thread is provided, engaging with its thread into the thread of the threaded spindle, and coupled with two gears ( 108 , 110 ) in a solid manner.
3. The single motor transmission shifting mechanism recited in claim 2 , wherein the relative axial position of the connection tube ( 32 ), seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the threaded spindle ( 20 ), can be changed relative to the threaded spindle ( 20 ) through a rotation of the threaded spindle ( 20 ), driven by the electric motor ( 16 ).
4. The single motor transmission shifting mechanism recited in claim 3 , wherein a holding mechanism is provided, through which the axial relative position of the connection tube ( 32 ), seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the threaded spindle ( 20 ), relative to the threaded spindle ( 20 ), is maintained during a pivoting motion of the shifting shaft ( 66 ), around the longitudinal axis of this shifting shaft ( 66 ), driven by the electric motor ( 16 ), for shifting a gear.
