27 results about "Manual transmission" patented technology

A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, a standard transmission or colloquially in some countries (e.g. the United States) as a stick shift, is a type of transmission used in motor vehicle applications. It uses a driver-operated clutch, usually engaged and disengaged by a foot pedal or hand lever, for regulating torque transfer from the engine to the transmission; and a gear selector that can be operated by hand or foot.

Battery electric vehicle

PendingUS20260184197A1Driver/operatorAutomatic control
The battery electric vehicle includes a processor, and a shifter. The processor switches, according to operation by a driver of the battery electric vehicle, between an automatic control mode of performing traveling as an ordinary battery electric vehicle and a manual operation mode of performing traveling so as to simulate an engine vehicle equipped with a manual transmission by accepting virtual gear shifting operation through the shifter. When the processor determines that a state of the battery electric vehicle is a state in which switching from the automatic control mode to the manual operation mode is inappropriate, the processor rejects a request of the driver for switching from the automatic control mode to the manual operation mode. When the processor has rejected the switching request, the processor notifies the driver that the switching request has been rejected.

AMT transmission shift speed control method and vehicle

This invention discloses a shift speed control method and vehicle for an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) gearbox, relating to the field of vehicle transmission technology. The shift speed control method for the AMT gearbox includes the following steps: When the AMT gearbox shifts and adjusts speed, the motor executes a speed response mode, calculates the real-time speed difference at the sliding sleeve end, and determines whether the real-time speed difference at the sliding sleeve end is within the speed difference setting range. If yes, the speed adjustment is considered complete; otherwise, the speed adjustment is considered a failure, and the number of speed adjustment failures is accumulated. It is then determined whether the accumulated number of speed adjustment failures exceeds a failure limit. If so, the initial value of the speed difference setting range is adjusted based on the accumulated number of speed adjustment failures, and the adjusted speed difference setting range is the adjusted value of the speed difference setting range. If the adjusted value of the speed difference setting range exceeds the speed difference limit, the motor's speed response mode is switched to a torque response mode. This shift speed control method for the AMT gearbox improves the success rate of shift speed adjustment.
