Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a guide device with axial limit, a parking mechanism and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Modern cars are using electronics more and more widely, and with the help of high technology, automatic transmission models have been simplified. In order to allow automatic transmission models to limit the movement of the vehicle through gears like manual models, a P gear is set in the automatic transmission. The P gear mainly uses the pawl and ratchet in the parking mechanism as a locking mechanism and locking gear. The cooperation of the pawl and ratchet can directly fix the transmission output shaft connected to the wheel, and the wheel can be locked through the half shaft.

[0003] There are many types of transmissions and parking mechanisms on the market. For parking mechanisms with the same structure, the fixing forms of guide blocks are also varied. The main guide block fixing forms are mainly the following:

[0004] (1) The guide block is made into a special-shaped piece, positioned through the housing hole, and fixed to the housing by two bolts;

[0005] (2) The guide plate is made by stamping, and the housing hole groove is positioned and fixed to the housing by two bolts;

[0006] (3) The guide block of the rotating body is positioned through the housing hole, and the axial displacement of the guide block is limited by a pressure plate and two bolts;

[0007] (4) The guide block of the rotating body is positioned by the housing hole and the axial movement is limited by the interference fit between the housing hole and the outer circle of the guide block.

[0008] According to the overall layout of the transmission, the guide block is fixed in type (4). The advantage of this method is that it has low space requirements. The disadvantage is that the strength and rigidity of the housing have a great influence on the tightening force of the guide block.

[0043] The parking bracket 11 is installed on the housing by a bolt and two positioning pins. The rotary shaft 4 is supported by the transmission housing hole, the clutch housing hole and the parking bracket 11. Depending on the application, the parking bracket 11 can support the rotary shaft 4 or not. The rotary shaft 4 is axially limited by the parking bracket 11 and the bottom of the transmission housing hole. The parking fork 6 is sleeved on the rotary shaft 4 to play a supporting role.

The rotating shaft 4 is axially limited by the parking bracket 11 and the bottom of the transmission housing hole. The parking fork 6 is mounted on the rotating shaft 4 to play a supporting role. The anti-rotation pin 62 on the parking fork 6 is inserted in the anti-rotation pin assembly hole of the parking bracket 11 to play an anti-rotation role. Under the action of the rotating shaft 4 and the parking bracket 11, the parking fork moves axially to achieve the P gear engagement and disengagement. The parking pawl 5 is mounted on the rotating shaft 4, and the axial displacement is limited by the housing end face and the parking bracket 11. The guide block 2 is pressed into the housing hole by interference fit, and the limiting part 3 presses the guide block 2 to play an axial limiting role.

[0065] 2) The parking fork 6 is provided with an actuator 61, and the parking pawl 5 is provided with a guide sleeve for the actuator 61 to pass through. The guide sleeve is a structure that is recessed inward and has a U-shaped surface. The parking fork 6 is slidably connected to the parking pawl 5 through the cooperation of the guide sleeve and the actuator 61, and the actuator 61 can slide stably along the guide sleeve.

[0066] 3) When the P gear is engaged, the parking fork 6 moves axially, and the actuator 61 is guided and limited by the first guide portion 21 of the guide block 2, inserted into the slot in the middle of the guide block 2, and during the movement, the parking pawl 5 slides relative to the guide sleeve of the parking fork 6, and is guided by the second guide portion 22 of the guide block 2. The parking pawl 5 rotates relative to the rotary shaft 4 in a direction away from the guide block 2, thereby achieving the engagement of the gear; when the P gear is disengaged, the actuator 61 moves away from the guide block, and the parking pawl 5 is guided by the pawl torsion spring 7 and the second guide portion 22 of the guide block 2, so that it rotates in a direction close to the guide block 2 and returns to its original position, thereby achieving the disengagement of the P gear.

[0067] According to the above specific embodiments, the present application has the following technical effects:

[0068] 1) The guide device and parking mechanism with axial limit provided in this specification have a simple structure. By optimizing the original parking mechanism bracket structure, the limit part of the parking bracket presses the guide block to limit the axial displacement of the guide block, ensuring that the guide block does not interfere with the parking pawl, thereby avoiding the risk of failure of the pawl parking function;

[0069] 2) By optimizing the bracket structure of the original parking mechanism, the same part can realize two functions, avoiding the need to add a new pressure plate, bolts, or bolt holes to the housing, thereby achieving the goal of minimizing the cost of modification under the premise of modification;

[0070] 3) Since there are no new parts, there is no impact on the assembly process, existing production lines, and production equipment. For existing parking mechanisms, existing space layouts, and existing test problems, the changes and impacts are minimal, and the mass production reliability is high.
