{ADJUSTING DEVICE FOR TGS-CABLE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a transmission cable adjusting device for a transmission for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a transmission cable adjusting device for a transmission for a vehicle, which comprises a first rod having an insertion portion formed with insertion teeth and a second rod having a guide slot formed with guide teeth, And more particularly, to a variable speed cable adjusting device that can accurately and efficiently adjust the speed of a transmission cable.

Generally, a transmission is a device that transmits power generated by an engine to a driving wheel by changing a rotational force and a speed so as to be suitable for a driving state of the vehicle, and is classified into a manual transmission and an automatic transmission.

The driver who operates the vehicle can change the speed change stage of the manual transmission or the automatic transmission to the desired speed change stage by operating the shift lever mounted on the console surface or the handle around the driver's seat.

The manual transmission is operated in such a manner that when a driver selects a gear corresponding to the running condition of the vehicle using a shift lever, the driver transmits a desired motion to the transmission through a cable or a rod. In the automatic transmission, when the driver moves the shift lever, The driver operates the inhibitor switch to transmit the desired motion to the transmission.

1 is an exemplary view schematically showing the operation of a vehicle equipped with a conventional manual transmission.

1, when the driver operates the knob 1 'of the shift lever to shift the vehicle, the transmission cable 2 connected to the lower end of the shift lever 1 is moved and the transmission side lever 4 is moved, So that the transmission 3 changes the gear position of the vehicle to the gear position selected by the driver.

In this case, when assembling the transmission cable 2 to the shift lever 1, a slight assembly error may occur depending on the position where the engine is installed, so that the length of the transmission cable must be adjusted, and the bracket 5 and the transmission side lever 4 The gear neutralization can be smoothly performed only when the distance between the gears is constant.

A shift cable adjusting device 6 composed of a ball joint or an adjusting nut is provided between the bracket 5 and the transmission side lever 4 and the operator rotates the shift cable adjusting device 6 by one turn Adjust the gap between the bracket (5) and the transmission side lever (4).

However, the conventional shift cable adjusting device takes a long time to adjust the variable speed cable, and the work process is also complicated, resulting in poor workability and difficulty in fine adjustment.

In addition, in the conventional shift cable adjusting device, there is a problem that the ball joint or adjustment nut is released due to the vibration of the vehicle body, the length of the variable transmission cable is variable, and thus a large number of neutral adjustment failures are generated.

As described above, the gear insertion / coupling-related claim due to the misalignment of the conventional variable speed cable adjusting device frequently occurs at a rate of 1.41% as of 2013, and therefore, there is a growing need for an improved variable speed cable adjusting device.
