Gear selection and parking lock system

Abstract

The invention relates to a gear selection and parking lock system (1) for a motor vehicle. At least one gear selection device (2) is provided for engaging and / or disengaging transmission gears and / orfor selecting at least one driving program, and at least one parking lock device (3), in particular an electrically actuatable parking lock device, is provided for implementing a transmission / parkinglock mode. The gear selection device (2) has at least one gear selection lever unit (2a) with at least one gear selection lever (4), and the parking lock device (3) has at least one mechanical lockingdevice (3a) and at least one electromechanical actuator (3b) which actuates the mechanical locking device (3a). The electromechanical actuator (3b) is arranged and / or provided so as to substantiallyadjoin and / or lie next to the gear selection lever unit (2a) and / or substantially adjacent thereto. The assembly, the cost, and / or the noise is reduced in that the gear selection lever unit (2a) and the electromechanical actuator (3b) are arranged and / or provided in a common housing (7), or the actuator (3b) is arranged in a separate housing (7a) and the gear selection lever unit (2a) is arrangeddirectly on the separate housing (7a) of the actuator (3b). Additionally, the housing (7a, 7b) is designed such that the housing (7 or 7a) can be arranged in and / or can be integrated into the region of the center console (8) of the motor vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gear selection and parking lock system for a motor vehicle according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] In motor vehicles, in particular for driver assistance systems such as "Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA)" or for "Fully Automatic Entry and / or Exit of Parking Spaces (PILO-Park)", parking is required for the transmission of the motor vehicle The locking is automatically hooked out and in. Various systems are known for this in the prior art. Firstly, there are transmissions, namely motor vehicle transmissions with integrated automated parking lock, which are especially recently developed transmissions, in particular corresponding automatic transmissions. In particular, however, older transmissions known from the prior art have an externally arranged parking lock actuating mechanism which is arranged and / or arranged in particular on the outside of the transmission housing. Here, ther...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] All gear selection and parking lock systems known in the prior art basically have in common their arrangement and / or their construction, especially in the case of a locking device actuated via an electromechanical actuator. Very cumbersome and very costly when on the outside of the transmission housing

In particular, the arrangement and wiring of the electromechanical actuator in the engine compartment or its electrical connection to the control unit and / or to the gear selector unit is difficult, structurally cumbersome and expensive

Even in the generic prior art leading to the present invention (US 8,437,930 B2), in which the gear selection lever unit is arranged adjacent to the electromechanical actuator, this structure is very cumbersome and also difficult to integrate into the vehicle interior middle

Finally, due to the arrangement of the actuators, the noise in the passenger compartment also increases when the actuators are actuated accordingly

The gear selection and parking lock systems known from the prior art are therefore not yet optimally configured
