Abstract

A gear shifting assembly of a transmission, a transmission, and an automobile. The present disclosure aims to address the problem of complicated structure existing in a gear shifting assembly or the like. To this end, the gear shifting assembly of a transmission according to the present disclosure includes a P-gear mechanism and a forward-gear mechanism, wherein the gear shifting assembly further includes a drive mechanism and a shifting mechanism, and the shifting mechanism is configured to be capable of switching the drive mechanism so that the P-gear mechanism or the forward-gear mechanism is in an operational state. By employing the common drive mechanism, the gear-shifting function of forward gears and the function of parking at the P-gear can be realized without interference, and on the basis of function integration, elements are saved so that the gear shifting assembly is made more compact in structure.

Claims (16)

1. A gear shifting assembly of a transmission, comprising a P-gear mechanism and a forward-gear mechanism, wherein the gear shifting assembly further comprises a drive mechanism and a shifting mechanism,

wherein a power output end of the drive mechanism is connected with a transmission shaft, and the shifting mechanism comprises a P-gear cam and a gear shifting cam each disposed on the transmission shaft,

wherein the curved surface of the contour of the P-gear cam comprises a first P-gear curved surface segment and a second P-gear curved surface segment distributed in a circumferential direction of the transmission shaft, and the curved surface of the contour of the gear shifting cam comprises a first gear-shifting curved surface segment and a second gear-shifting curved surface segment distributed in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft,

wherein the first gear-shifting curved surface segment has curvatures inconsistent in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft, and an extension range thereof corresponds in circumferential manner to an operational rotation angle of the gear shifting cam; the first P-gear curved surface segment has curvatures consistent in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft, and an extension range thereof corresponds to a non-operational rotation angle of the P-gear cam, wherein a moving path of the P-gear cam is in the first P-gear curved surface segment while a moving path of the gear shifting cam is in the first gear-shifting curved surface segment,

wherein the second gear-shifting curved surface segment has curvatures consistent in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft, and an extension range thereof corresponds to a non-operational rotation angle of the gear shifting cam; the second P-gear curved surface segment has curvatures inconsistent in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft, and an extension range thereof corresponds to an operational rotation angle of the P-gear cam, wherein a moving path of the gear shifting cam is in the second gear-shifting curved surface segment and always corresponds to a position of a lowest gear when a moving path of the P-gear cam is in the second P-gear curved surface segment,

wherein the power output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the transmission shaft via a reduction gear set, the P-gear cam is disposed in a middle portion of a gear disc of a driven gear of the reduction gear set and forms a moving path groove with the driven gear,

wherein the P-gear cam and the driven gear of the reduction gear are of a one-piece structure.

2. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the gear shifting cam has an operational rotation angle ranging from 0 to 180°, and the P-gear cam has an operational rotation angle ranging from 0 to −180°.

3. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the forward-gear mechanism comprises a shift fork,

wherein one end of the shift fork is slidably disposed in a cam groove of the gear shifting cam, such that the transmission can be at different forward gears as the shift fork slides when a moving path of the gear shifting cam is in the first gear-shifting curved surface segment.

4. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the P-gear mechanism comprises a P-gear link and a P-gear assembly, wherein one end of the P-gear link is slidably disposed in the moving path groove, and the other end of the P-gear link is connected to the P-gear assembly, such that the P-gear assembly can be in a disengaged state from or an engaged state with a P-gear disc of the automobile as the P-gear link swings when the moving path of the P-gear cam is in the first P-gear curved surface segment or the second P-gear curved surface segment.

5. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the gear shifting cam is disposed on the transmission shaft in such a manner as to be movable within a set range in an axial direction of the transmission shaft.

6. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 5 , wherein two ends of the gear shifting cam are respectively provided with an elastic assembly, the elastic assemblies are fixed to the transmission shaft, and the elastic assemblies have a set pre-tightening force in the axial direction of the transmission shaft so that the gear shifting cam is always fixed to the transmission shaft when the gear shifting cam moves to any position within the set range in the axial direction of the transmission shaft.

7. The gear shifting assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the elastic assembly comprises a spring seat and a spring mounted on the spring seat, an inner side of the spring seat abuts a cam shaft of the gear shifting cam, an outer side of the spring seat is fixed to the transmission shaft by a stop ring, and the spring has a set pre-tightening force in the axial direction of the transmission shaft.

8. The transmission according to claim 1 .

9. An automobile, comprising the transmission according to claim 8 .
