  As shown in FIG. 3, a parking mechanism 20 is provided on the first shaft 10 of the vehicle automatic transmission having the above-described configuration. The parking mechanism 20 includes a parking gear 21, a parking pole 22, a return spring 23, a support plate 24 (see FIG. 1), and a parking rod 25 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the parking gear 21 is integrally coupled to the outer peripheral portion of the first shaft 10 of the vehicle automatic transmission. One end of the parking pole 22 is pivotally supported by the case body 3 and disposed. Further, a meshing claw 22a meshing with the parking gear 21 is formed at the other end of the parking pole 22 so as to protrude toward a surface (front surface) facing the parking gear 21, and a surface (back surface) facing the front surface. A convex portion 22b that is pressed toward the center of the parking gear 21 by a cam groove 25a, which will be described later, of the parking rod 25 is formed. The return spring 23 functions to urge the parking pole 22 in a direction to release the engagement between the parking gear 21 and the engagement pawl 22 a of the parking pole 22.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the support plate 24 is substantially U-shaped and has an engaging convex portion 24 a at one end of the U-shape. The engaging projection 24a is configured to engage with a guide hole 4b provided in the manual plate 4 of the detent structure 1 shown in FIG. 1 and to be movable in the guide hole 4b. That is, the support plate 24 is pivotally supported by the case main body 3 so as to be rotatable, and the engaging convex portion 24 a is inserted into the guide hole 4 b of the manual plate 4 and disposed inside the case main body 3. The guide hole 4b here is a circumferential hole extending in the circumferential direction, and one end of the circumferential hole is formed to extend in the radial direction toward the center. Due to the guide hole 4b, when the range position of the manual plate 4 is 1, 2, N range, D range, or R range, the engagement convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 is in the circumferential direction of the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4. While the support plate 24 is rotatable at a portion extending to the support plate 24, when the range position of the manual plate 4 is in the P range, the engagement convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 is provided with the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4. The support plate 24 is prohibited from rotating at a portion extending in the radial direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the parking rod 25 has a cam portion 25a whose diameter increases toward the tip at one end thereof. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the parking rod 25 is disposed so as to be opposed to the parking gear 21 via a parking pole 22 and supported by the case body 3 so as to be movable back and forth in the axial direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the other end of the parking rod 25 is attached to the other end of the support plate 24 so that the parking rod 25 can move forward and backward in the axial direction of the parking rod 25 according to the rotation of the support plate 24. Connected.

  Next, the operation of the detent structure 1 and the parking mechanism 20 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, when the range position of the manual plate 4 is set to the P range in accordance with the driver's operation of the control lever, the detent structure 1 and the parking mechanism 20 are shown in FIG. The state shown in a) is obtained. That is, when the range position of the control lever is switched from a range other than the P range to the P range, the manual plate 4 is detented until the cam groove 4a corresponding to the P range and the engaging portion 6a of the detent spring 6 are engaged. It rotates against the elastic force of the spring 6. Along with this rotation, the engagement convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 engaged with the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4 extends in the radial direction from the portion extending in the circumferential direction of the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4. Guided to move to the part. When the support plate 24 is rotated in accordance with the guide and the engaging convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 is located at a portion extending in the radial direction of the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4, the engaging convex portion 24a is guided to the guide hole. The support plate 24 is prohibited from rotating by abutting against the wall of the portion 4b extending in the radial direction.

  As the support plate 24 rotates, the parking rod 25 connected to the support plate 24 moves below the automatic transmission shown in FIG. As a result, the cam portion 25a of the parking rod 25 and the convex portion 22b on the back surface of the parking pole 22 come into contact with each other, and the parking pole 22 is pressed toward the parking gear 21 as the cam portion 25a expands. Thereby, the meshing teeth 22a of the parking pole 22 and the parking gear 21 mesh with each other, the rotation of the parking gear 21 is locked, and the rotation of the first shaft 10 of the automatic transmission is also locked. As a result, even when torque is input from the wheel side (not shown) of the vehicle, the stopped state of the vehicle is maintained by the locking of the first shaft 10.

  When the range position of the control lever is switched from the P range to another range according to the driver's operation of the control lever, the manual plate 4 has the cam groove 4a and the detent spring 6 corresponding to the switched range position. It rotates against the elastic force of the detent spring 6 until it engages with the engaging portion 6a. Along with this, the engagement convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 moves from the portion extending in the radial direction of the guide hole 4b of the manual plate 4 to the portion extending in the circumferential direction, and the rotation of the support plate 24 in the P range is performed. Movement prohibition is lifted. As a result, the parking pole 22 of the parking mechanism 20 shown in FIG. 3 is released from the vehicle stop state by the parking mechanism 20 in accordance with the urging of the return spring 23 in the meshing release direction from the parking gear 21, and the parking rod 25 is In FIG. 1, the parking pole 22 is released from being pressed by the cam portion 25 a of the parking rod 25.

  When the range position of the manual plate 4 is set to a range position other than the P range, the rotation state of the manual plate 4 and the support plate 24 and the engagement of the support plate 24 in the guide groove 4b of the manual plate 4 are performed. The engagement state of the convex portion 24a is, for example, the state shown in FIG. 4B when the range position of the manual plate 4 is set to the N range, and the state shown in FIG. Become. As shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, when the range position of the manual plate 4 is set to a range other than the P range, the engagement convex portion 24a of the support plate 24 is as described above. Since the support plate 24 is located at a portion extending in the radial direction of the guide groove 4b and is movable at a portion extending in the radial direction of the guide groove 4b, the support plate 24 is in a rotatable state.

  In this embodiment, when the range position of the manual plate 4 is switched, the configuration shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is adopted. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the manual plate 4 is connected to one end portion of the manual shaft 5 so as to be integrally rotatable, and the select plate 30 is integrally rotatable to the other end portion of the manual shaft 5. Connected to As shown in FIG. 6 for the P range, the N range, and the 1 range, the select plate 30 is moved to the rotation position corresponding to the switched range according to the shift position switching operation by a control lever (not shown). It is configured to rotate. Here, the select plate 30 is connected to a control lever (not shown) provided in a driver's cab operated by a vehicle driver via a member such as a wire (not shown).

  With such a configuration, as the select plate 30 and the manual shaft 5 are rotated so as to be in the rotation position corresponding to the range position switched by the range lever switching operation of the control lever, the manual plate 4 is controlled by the control lever. It rotates until the engaging part 6a of the detent spring 6 engages with the cam groove 4a corresponding to the range position switched by. When the manual plate 4 is rotated, the detent spring 6 of the detent structure 1 elastically biases the engaging portion 6 a toward the manual plate 4. As the manual plate 4 rotates, the engaging portion 6a of the detent spring 6 can be engaged with the cam groove 4a corresponding to the rotational position of the manual plate 4 among the plurality of cam grooves 4a. .

  As shown in FIG. 5, the manual plate 4 is provided with a hooking portion 4c protruding from the plate surface. By engaging the engaging portion 4c with a manual valve (not shown) incorporated in the control valve body, the manual plate 4 is rotated to a position corresponding to the range according to the range position switched by the control lever. Accordingly, the manual valve moves forward and backward so as to be in a position corresponding to the range position.

  Therefore, in the detent structure 1 for the automatic transmission for a vehicle according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the vehicle rotates according to the range position switching operation of the control lever (not shown) by the driver, and the outer peripheral portion. Along with the rotation of the manual plate 4 provided with a plurality of cam grooves 4a, the manual plate 4 is brought into engagement with the cam groove 4a corresponding to the rotation position of the manual plate 4 among the plurality of cam grooves 4a. The detent spring 6 that elastically biases the engaging portion 6a toward the seat is seated and fixed on the mating surface 3a on the outer surface of the case body 3 of the automatic transmission where the side cover 2 is mounted. The engaging portion 6 b is inserted into the case body 3.

  According to the detent structure 1 of the automatic transmission of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the detent spring 6 is disposed outside the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 and is fastened with bolts or the like from the mounting direction of the side cover 7. The detent spring 6 can be assembled with the member 9. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide a space occupied by the detent spring 6 inside the case body 3 of the transmission case 2, there is no limitation due to the arrangement of the detent spring 6 in the layout or the like when configuring the control valve circuit. The space inside the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 can be used effectively. Further, after assembling parts such as a transmission mechanism and a control valve unit inside the case body 3 of the transmission case 2, the detent spring 6 is fixed to the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 by a fastening member 9 such as a bolt. In addition, on the outer surface of the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 on the mating surface 3a on which the side cover 7 is mounted, no member that obstructs the fixing of the detent spring 6 is attached. Therefore, the detent spring 6 can be easily fixed to the transmission case 2 and the assembling property of the detent spring 6 can be improved. Further, even when the detent spring 6 is replaced, the detent spring 7 can be easily attached and detached by removing the side cover 7 from the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 (corresponding to claim 1). .

  In addition, the detent spring 6 is seated and fixed on the mating surface 3 a on which the side cover 7 is mounted on the outer surface of the case main body 3 of the transmission case 2, and the engaging portion 6 a of the detent spring 6 becomes the transmission case 2. According to the present configuration that is inserted into the case body 3, the problem of deterioration of the assembly of the control valve unit described above when the detent spring 6 is fixed to the control valve body is solved. And the assembly of the control valve unit can be improved (corresponding to claim 1).

  In addition, according to this configuration, the mating surface 3a on which the side cover 7 is mounted and the seating surface of the detent spring 6 on the outer surface of the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 can be made the same surface. The seating surface of the detent spring 6 can be processed simultaneously with the processing of the mating surface 3 a of the case body 3 of the case 2 with the side cover 7. Therefore, it is not necessary to process only the seating surface of the detent spring 6 when the transmission case 2 is attached to the inside of the case main body 3 or the control valve body, and the number of man-hours can be reduced.

  In the detent structure 1 of the automatic transmission for a vehicle according to the present embodiment, the engaging portion 6a of the detent spring 6 is inserted into the lubricating oil hole 3b provided in the case body 3 of the transmission case 2. The Moreover, as described above, the lubricating oil hole 3b is obtained by diverting the lubricating oil hole provided to return the oil flowing into the side cover 7 attached to the case body 3 to the oil pan (not shown). . According to such a configuration, it is possible to save time for newly securing the installation space for the detent spring 6 and to more effectively utilize the space in the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 (corresponding to claim 2). ).

  Thus, according to the detent structure 1 of the present embodiment, the space inside the case body 3 of the transmission case 2 can be effectively utilized, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved. Therefore, the parking mechanism 20 can be provided on the first shaft 10 of the automatic transmission to which driving force from an engine (not shown) included in the vehicle is input. With this configuration, the effects described below can be obtained.

That is, the input load from the wheel side when the vehicle is stopped is P, the gear ratio (primary reduction ratio) between the first shaft and the second shaft is r ₁ (r ₁ > 1), and between the second shaft and the third shaft. The gear ratio (secondary reduction ratio) is r ₂ (r ₂ > 1), the load input to the parking mechanism with respect to the input from the wheel (not shown) when the vehicle is stopped, and the parking mechanism is applied to the first shaft 10. If P ₁ is provided, and P ₂ is provided for the parking mechanism on the second shaft,
P ₂ ∝P / r ₂
P ₁ ∝P ₂ / r ₁ = P / r ₂ / r ₁
It can be expressed as. Here, since r ₁ > 1 and r ₂ > 1, it is P ₁ <P ₂ . For this reason, the load that the parking mechanism receives from the wheel (not shown) side is smaller in the configuration in which the parking mechanism is provided on the first shaft 10 than in the configuration in which the parking mechanism is provided on the second shaft of the automatic transmission. This is advantageous because the parking mechanism can be reduced in weight and size (corresponding to claim 3).

  As described above, based on the illustrated example, the detent structure of the automatic transmission for a vehicle according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, but is within the scope of the configuration described in the claims. Of course, it can be changed appropriately.
