The invention discloses a novel parking braking mechanism of a dual clutch automatic transmission (DCT). The novel parking braking mechanism is characterized in that a gear-shafting arm, a push arm, a sector plate and a gear-position sensor are arranged on a gear-shifting shaft, one end of a pull rod is arranged on the push arm, the other end of the pull rod is overlapped inside a fixator hole, a parking gear is arranged on an intermediate shaft of the transmission, and a parking pawl rotates around a parking shaft; and a plate spring is composed of a spring piece, a pin shaft and a casing pipe, and the casing pipe rolls in a groove of the sector plate on a pin shaft in a sleeved manner. The novel parking braking mechanism disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple and compact structure, light weight, low cost, strong parking bearing capacity, accuracy in gear-shifting positioning, low gear-shifting force, and good hand feel, can be used for realizing five PRNDS (Parking, Reverse, Null, Drive, Sports) gear positions including a parking gear, a reverse gear, a null gear, a drive gear and a sport gear, and can be used for guaranteeing the reliable parking at the P gear.
