Abstract

A vehicular transmission, includes: an input shaft; a drive gear, fixed to the input shaft; an output shaft; a driven gear, brought in mesh with the drive gear, and provided at the output shaft; a hub configured to rotate along with the output shaft; a sleeve configured to rotate integrally with the hub, and configured to slide in an axial direction so as to connect the driven gear to the output shaft to drive; a parking gear, integrally formed with the sleeve; a claw member, provided at a vicinity of an outer periphery of the parking gear engageably with and disengageably from the parking gear; and a sleeve restricting member, provided with the claw member, and configured to restrict the sleeve from a movement in the axial direction when the claw member is moved in a direction of being engaged with the parking gear.

Claims (38)

1. A vehicular transmission, comprising:

an input shaft inputted with a drive force from a side of an engine;

a drive gear fixed to the input shaft and rotated along with the input shaft;

an output shaft provided in parallel with the input shaft;

a bearing for rotatably supporting a shaft end of the output shaft;

a driven gear brought in mesh with the drive gear and provided rotatably the output shaft;

a hub fixed to the output shaft contiguous to the driven gear on a side of the shaft end of the output shaft and rotated along with the output shaft;

a sleeve arranged on an outer peripheral side of the hub, rotated normally integrally with the hub, and connecting the driven gear to the output shaft to drive by being moved to slide in an axial direction;

a parking gear integrally formed with the sleeve; and

a claw member arranged at a vicinity of an outer periphery of the parking gear engageably with and disengageably from the parking gear,

wherein the claw member is provided with a sleeve restricting member that engages with the sleeve at a position other than the parking gear for restricting the sleeve from being moved in the axial direction when the claw member is moved in a direction of being engaged with the parking gear.

2. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , wherein

the sleeve restricting member is formed to project to a side of the parking gear more than a front end of the claw member engaged with the parking gear.

3. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , wherein

the sleeve restricting member is made of a sheet metal.

4. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , wherein

the sleeve restricting member includes a guide portion for moving the parking gear to a position of engaging with the claw member.

5. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , wherein:

the parking gear is formed integrally with the shaft end portion of the sleeve; and

the parking gear and the bearing provided at the shaft end of the output shaft are arranged to overlap each other in the axial direction.

6. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an input mechanism including a first input shaft including respective drive gears of one speed change stage group of predetermined two groups divided from speed change stages, and a second input shaft including respective drive gears of other speed change group and provided pivotably around an axis core of the first input shaft at a surrounding of the first input shaft, and clutches respectively provided at one end portions of the first and the second input shafts for transmitting a drive force from a side of an engine to either of the first and the second input shafts; and

an output mechanism including first and second output shafts arranged in parallel with the first and the second input shafts and including a synchronizing mechanism of engaging driven gears brought in mesh with the drive gears of the first and the second input shafts with the first or the second output shaft, wherein

the sleeve is provided at the synchronizing mechanism engaged with the output shaft of a shorter one of the first and the second output shafts.

7. The vehicular transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is provided with a shift fork groove for sliding the sleeve in the axial direction, and the sleeve restricting member engages with a surface that defines the shift fork groove.

8. A vehicular transmission, comprising:

an input shaft inputted with a drive force from a side of an engine;

a drive gear fixed to the input shaft and rotated along with the input shaft;

an output shaft provided in parallel with the input shaft;

a bearing for rotatably supporting a shaft end of the output shaft;

a driven gear brought in mesh with the drive gear and provided rotatably at the output shaft;

a hub fixed to the output shaft contiguous to the driven gear on a side of the shaft end of the output shaft and rotated along with the output shaft;

a sleeve arranged on an outer peripheral side of the hub, rotated normally integrally with the hub, and connecting the driven gear to the output shaft to drive by being moved to slide in an axial direction;

a parking gear integrally formed with the sleeve; and

a claw member arranged at a vicinity of an outer periphery of the parking gear engageably with and disengageably from the parking gear,

wherein the claw member is provided with a sleeve restricting member for restricting the sleeve from being moved in the axial direction when the claw member is moved in a direction of being engaged with the parking gear, and

wherein the sleeve restricting member is formed to project to a side of the parking gear more than a front end of the claw member engaged with the parking gear.

9. The vehicular transmission according to claim 8 wherein the sleeve restricting member is made of a sheet metal.
