Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects solved by the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a shift-by-wire actuator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a transmission member 11 and an actuator housing 10, where the actuator housing 10 includes a box 13 having an opening on one side and a sealing cover 12 for sealing and covering the opening of the box 13, so that a sealing space is formed between the box 13 and the sealing cover 12.
The transmission part 11 comprises a motor 111, a speed reducer 128, a synchronizer, a matched screw rod 122 and screw rod nut 121, a slide block 120, a push rod 113 and a ball bowl connecting rod 117. The motor 111, the reducer 128, the synchronizer, the matched screw rod 122 and screw nut 121, the slider 120 and the push rod 113 of the transmission part 11 are arranged in the sealed space formed between the box body 13 and the sealing cover 12, and the outer end of the push rod 113 extends out of the actuator shell 10. Therefore, the shift-by-wire actuator has better sealing performance.
The motor 111 here is a dc brushless permanent magnet motor, which is square in shape, and outputs a certain rotational speed and torque by controlling power output through a shift controller. When the model is selected, the motor is required to have the advantages of small volume, high temperature resistance, high humidity resistance and vibration resistance. In addition, the motor 111 is provided with three Hall sensors, and the accurate control of the motor 1/6 circles can be realized.
In this embodiment, the motor 111 is fixed to the actuator housing 10 by the motor bracket 112.
The screw 122 is preferably a ball screw. The lead screw 122 is engaged with the lead screw nut 121 to convert the rotational motion into a linear motion. The ball screw and the screw nut have the advantages of small friction, high efficiency, low noise, large self-locking torque and the like.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the slider 120 includes two parts, namely a slider body 1201 and a metal frame 1202, which are fixedly connected together, the metal frame 1202 is disposed at an interval from the actuator housing 10, the slider body 1201 is fixed on the lead screw nut 121 through a stud, and one side surface of the slider body 1201 is in sliding contact with an inner side surface of the actuator housing 10 to limit the relative rotation between the lead screw nut 121 and the lead screw 122, so that when the lead screw 122 rotates, the lead screw nut 121 can only move linearly.
The slider body 1201 is made of engineering plastics with good lubricating property and wear resistance, such as POM (polyoxymethylene), so that the frictional resistance between the slider body 1201 and the actuator housing 10 is reduced, and the wear of the slider is reduced. In addition, because the strength of the engineering plastic is not enough, the metal framework 1202 is arranged to enhance the connection strength of the sliding block 120 and the push rod 113.
As shown in fig. 2, one end of the push rod 113 is fixed to the metal frame 1202. The other end is connected with one end of the ball bowl connecting rod 117 through a ball pin 116 in a ball hinge mode. As shown in fig. 3, the other end of the ball-and-socket link 117 is connected to the outer end of the shift rocker arm 41 of the automatic transmission 4 by a ball pin ball joint.
Because the space arrangement of the push rod 113 and the shifting rocker arm 41 is irregular (not in the same plane range), both ends of the ball bowl connecting rod 117 connecting the push rod 113 and the shifting rocker arm 41 are designed to be in a ball hinge mode. Thus, the ball-bowl linkage 117 can always push the outer end of the shifting rocker arm 41 in a tangential direction, thereby driving the outer end of the shifting rocker arm 41 to rotate around the inner end thereof.
As shown in fig. 2, a P-gear position detection microswitch 119 is arranged on the actuator housing, the P-gear position detection microswitch 119 is located on the stroke of the slider 120, the metal framework 1202 is provided with a protrusion 12021, the protrusion 12021 is just opposite to the P-gear position detection microswitch 119, and the P-gear position detection microswitch 119 sends out a P-gear position signal when contacting with the protrusion 12021. Because the gear shifting actuator has certain efficiency loss during transmission, and meanwhile, the gear shifting rocker arm and the gear shifting actuator at the transmission end have certain accumulated errors in the manufacturing process, position calibration is required in the cyclic gear shifting process, and therefore, a P gear position detection microswitch is set in the P gear position and used for calibrating the P gear starting position.
As shown in fig. 2, the actuator housing 10 is provided with a first support 123 and a second support 118, the first support 123 and the second support 118 are respectively press-fitted with a first rolling bearing and a second rolling bearing (not shown), two ends of the screw rod 122 respectively penetrate through inner rings of the first rolling bearing and the second rolling bearing, and the second support 118 is provided with a thrust bearing (not shown) that abuts against an end face of one end of the screw rod 122 that penetrates through the inner ring of the second rolling bearing. Thus, the two ends of the screw rod 122 realize axial and radial positioning, and the self-rotating function of the screw rod can be satisfied. As a result, both ends of the spindle 122 are rotatably supported on the actuator housing 10.
As shown in fig. 2, the actuator housing 10 is provided with a wire harness connector 126, and the P-position detection microswitch 119 and the motor 111 are connected to the wire harness connector 16 by a wire harness. Of course, three hall sensors in the motor are also connected to the wire harness plug by the wire harness. The harness plug 126 is provided with a socket so that, as shown in fig. 3, the shift control 3 can be connected directly to the shift-by-wire actuator 1 via a plug-in harness. The wire harness plug-in piece 126 enables the wire harness inside the drive-by-wire shifter to be regular in direction. Moreover, the electrical signal of the shift-by-wire actuator 1 is received and transmitted through the wire harness plug-in connector 126, so that the platform universality of the shift-by-wire actuator 1 is further improved.
As shown in fig. 2, the input end of the speed reducer 128 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 111, and the output end is connected to a synchronizer. The output end of the reducer 128 forms a reducer output shaft (not shown) coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 111, and the reducer output shaft is spaced parallel to the screw 122; the synchronizer is arranged between the output shaft of the speed reducer and the screw rod 122, and can transmit the rotation of the output shaft of the speed reducer to the screw rod 122 so as to drive the screw rod 122 to rotate.
Due to the limited space, the motor 111, the reducer 128 and the lead screw 122 are difficult to be arranged on the same straight line, so that the rotation motion on one axis is transmitted to the other parallel axis by means of a synchronization device.
As shown in fig. 2, the synchronizing device is a synchronous belt-synchronous belt pulley set, the synchronous belt-synchronous belt pulley set comprises a main belt pulley 127, an auxiliary belt pulley 124 and a synchronous belt 125 connecting the main belt pulley 127 and the auxiliary belt pulley 124, the outer end of the output shaft of the speed reducer is connected with the central position of the main belt pulley 127 through a shaft hole and a locking screw, and the outer end of the screw rod 122 is connected with the central position of the auxiliary belt pulley 125 through a shaft hole and a locking screw. In addition, since the shift controller precisely controls the gear position according to the number of rotation turns of the motor 111, the synchronous belt-synchronous pulley set is required to have a high efficiency, so that a ladder-shaped tooth synchronous belt/synchronous pulley set which is commonly used in engineering is selected. In addition, the synchronous belt can weaken vibration transmission generated by the motor and the speed reducer, and the NVH performance is improved.
In this embodiment, the speed reducer 128 is a planetary gear speed reducer, a sun gear of the planetary gear speed reducer is connected to an output shaft of the motor 111, a ring gear of the planetary gear speed reducer is relatively fixed to a housing of the motor 111, and an inner end of an output shaft of the speed reducer is connected to a planet carrier of the planetary gear speed reducer. The planet wheel speed reducer is small in size, can provide a large reduction ratio, and is small in transmission torque. Since the torque transmission on the gear shift actuator itself is relatively small, it is appropriate to use a planetary gear reducer here. The reducer 128 serves to reduce the speed and increase the torque.
As shown in fig. 2, a sliding sleeve 114 is slidably sleeved on the push rod 113, the sliding sleeve 114 is fixed in a circular hole formed in the actuator housing 10, and the push rod 113 is radially positioned by the sliding sleeve 114. In addition, a dustproof sleeve 115 is sleeved on the push rod 113 at a position between the sliding sleeve 114 and the bowl connecting rod 117.

The gear shifting controller 3 is installed on the shift-by-wire device 2, is composed of 1 PCB circuit board and can be independently detached from the shift-by-wire device 2.
The shift controller 3 converts the received electric signal into a control signal and sends the control signal to the motor 111 of the shift actuator 1, so as to control the rotation speed and torque output of the motor 111.
The shift-by-wire actuator 1 converts the rotation of the motor 111 into the linear motion of the lead screw 122 after the rotation is decelerated and torque-increased by the speed reducer 128 and the synchronizer, and linearly pushes the push rod 113 through the slider 120 fixedly connected with the lead screw nut 121, and the push rod 113 pushes the ball cup connecting rod 117 to move, so as to drive the shift rocker arm 41 of the automatic transmission of the automobile, which is connected with the ball cup connecting rod 117 through a ball hinge, to move to a corresponding gear, thereby completing one-time gear shifting.
