Automatic gear shifting mechanism for vehicle

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic gear change operating device for a vehicle which can avoid the deterioration of durability by wear while reducing operation noises when a shift lever is tilted from an automatic mode to a manual mode, and at the same time, which can expand the application configuration. This automatic gear change operating device for a vehicle has the shift lever 1 which is supported in such a manner that the shift lever 1 can be rocked in the longitudinal direction and can be tilted in the lateral direction to a bracket 2. The automatic gear change operating device for the vehicle is equipped with a pivot shaft 4 which can rock the shift lever 1 in the longitudinal direction, and at the same time, for which an opening section K2 for passing the shift lever 1 is formed, a supporting pin 6 which is arranged in the opening section K2 of the pivot shaft 4 and can tilt the shift lever 1 in the lateral direction to the bracket 2, and a protuberance section 7 for regulating the tilting range by coming into contact with the shift lever 1 which tilts with the supporting pin 6 as a spindle, and a recess 11. Those are provided in the opening section K2 of the pivot shaft 4.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic transmission operating device for a vehicle which can set an automatic mode and a manual mode arbitrarily. Background technique [0002] The automatic transmission operating device of an automobile is configured such that a shift lever protrudes from a bracket fixed to a vehicle body, and a desired operation of an automatic transmission of an automobile can be performed by swinging the shift lever forward and backward. Also, in such an automatic transmission operating device, when the shift lever is in the forward range (D range), the shift lever can be tilted leftward or rightward, and the transmission can be manually operated from this state to the rearward direction. [0003] For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, during normal automatic transmission operation (automatic mode), the automatic transmission can be placed in the park position (P) by swinging the shift lever in the forward and rearwa...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned conventional automatic transmission operating device for vehicles, when the shift lever is operated to tilt from the automatic mode to the manual mode, the operating sound becomes louder due to the sliding between the shift lever and the bracket or the cover plate. , the problem of rapid deterioration of durability due to wear due to sliding resistance

In addition, it is necessary to provide a door slot or a part of the bracket that slides relative to a part of the shift lever.

There is a problem that the applicable form of the automatic transmission operating device with two modes of automatic mode and manual mode is limited

[0008] In addition, as the bulletin Figure 7 As shown, in the structure in which the vicinity of one end of the pivot shaft is inserted through the cylindrical part formed in the wire frame, the width direction dimension of the swing and tilt mechanism becomes large due to the lengthwise dimension of the pivot shaft and the thickness dimension of the wire frame. , causing the overall device to become larger

And, as the communiqué Figure 11 As shown, in the double structure in which the pivot covers the cylindrical portion extending from the thread stand, it is necessary to form a cutout for avoiding interference with the thread stand on the pivot, so the installation position of the thread stand is limited, and the design is free small size problem
