Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manoeuvring arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a gear control is provided with a control lever, which is pivotally anchored into a control bracket. This one must be anchored into a fixed part of the vehicle so that a high degree of stability and also a well defined positioning with minimiz ⁇ ing of tolerances is secured.
- Known gear control is provided with e.g. a three-di ensionally formed bracket of injection moulded plastic, which gives rise to high tooling costs.
- An alternative known solution is where the bracket is made in form-pressed sheet which implies a great deal of welding and fitting work as well as high tooling costs.
- the object of the present invention is to produce a manoeuvring arrangement which can be anchored with a good stability and well defined positioning.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a manoeuvring arrang ⁇ ement according to the invention in the form of a gear control as viewed from the left-hand side in a vehicle
- Fig. 2 shows the gear control, viewed from the right-hand side
- Fig. 3 shows an X-ray picture of the gear control in the park position
- Fig. 4 shows a section through the gear control along line IV-IV in Fig. 3,
- Fig. 5 shows an X-ray picture of the gear control in another gear position
- Fig. 6 shows a section through the gear control along line VI-VI in Fig. 5,
- FFiiggss 77,, 88 & 9 show various views of parts of a manoeuvring latch included in the gear control
- Figs 10 & 11 show a side view and a plan view respect ⁇ ively of an alternative embodiment, of a manoeuvring bracket included in the gear control.
- the manoeuvring arrangement is shown in the drawings in the form of a gear control of an automatic gearbox in a motor vehicle and presents two main parts, namely a manoeuvring lever 1 and a manoeuvring bracket 2, see for example Fig. 1 and 2.
- the manoeuvring lever 1 is pivotally attached with the manoeuvring bracket 2 via a pivot joint 3, whereby the pivot axis of the manoeuvring lever is defined relative to the manoeuvring bracket.
- a transmission 4 is coupled to the manoeuvring lever at an attachment point 5 positioned at a distance from the pivot joint 3, whereby the pivoting movement of the manoeuvring lever 1 is transposed into a reciprocal longitudinal movement of the transmission 4.
- this is formed as a wire 6, the casing of which is fixed in a flange 8 of the manoeuvring bracket 2.
- the transmission is formed as a link system where, instead, a link arm is fixed in a correspon ⁇ ding attachment point 5 in the lever. In this way no attachment for the transmission in the form of a flange 8 is required.
- the manoeuvring bracket 2 basically consists of an arched bracket 1' which is manufactured as an extruded profile of for instance metal, such as aluminium or an alloy thereof. By extrusion the profile can be provided with a plurality of functions at relatively low cost by choice of the profile shape.
- the manoeuvring bracket 2 is prepared by cutting the continually produced profile in straight cut sections so that two planar, substantially parallel sides 9, 10 are obtained.
- a separate pivot bracket 11 is also included in the manoeuvring bracket 2, for the pivotal attachment of the manoeuvring lever to a base, for example a fixed piece of the vehicle.
- the pivot bracket 11, as shown for example in Fig. 1 and 4, is similarly advantageously produced as an extruded profile and presents two fastening flanges 12 and two bearing supports 13, each with its own through hole 14, through which extends a pivot shaft 15 in the form of a nut and bolt.
- the pivot bracket 11 can, in certain applica ⁇ tions, advant. ,-ously even be manufactured from sheet metal.
- the fastening flanges 12 are provided with through- holes 16 for receiving fastening screws (not shown) .
- the pivot shaft also extends through two through-holes 17 in the manoeuvring lever 1 which, in the shown example, is formed as a tube with a round or rec ⁇ tangular cross section for example.
- the position of the pivotal joint 3 of the manoeuvring lever 1 relative to the manoeuvring bracket 2 is determined by means of an arm 18 formed in the profile, said arm having a through-hole 19, through which the pivot shaft 15 extends and is positioned with well-defined tolerance concerning the position of the pivotal centre of the manoeuvring lever relative to the manoeuvring bracket 2.
- the sideways position along the pivotal shaft 15 is also defined, which is primarily due to the fact that the opposed walls 20, 21 of the manoeuvring lever 1 are made to project downwardly on respective sides of the arm 18.
- two flanged bearing sleeves 22 are provided, said bearing sleeves 22 being of a material with good wear resistance and low friction, which additionally ensures a well-defined, play-free pivot for the manoeuvring lever.
- the arched bracket 2 - is formed with a fastening portion 23 in the form of a flange which is provided with a through-hole for accepting a screw (not shown) .
- the fastening portion presents a support surface 24 on its lower side, said support surface being planar for contact against a planar surface of a fixed part of the vehicle.
- a groove 25 is formed in the profile for defining the centre of the through-hole, whereby the positioning in the vehicle can be defined with great precision.
- the arched bracket 2' can be produced with a limited, space-saving width, which in the shown example is less than the width of the manoeuvring lever 1, which in the example as shown is arranged as a tube having for example round or squared cross section.
- the position of the pivoted joint 3 of the control lever 1 relative to the control bracket 2 is determined by means of an arm 18 shaped in the profile and having a through hole 19, through which the pivot shaft 15 extends and is positioned having well defined tolerances concerning the position of the pivot centre of the control lever relative to the control bracket 2. Also the position sidewardly along the pivot shaft 15 is defined and this occurs primarily by the fact that the opposite walls 20, 21 of the control lever 1 are brought to project with a well fitting on each side of the lever 18. In the shown example two-flange provided bearing bushes 22 are arranged having a material with good wearing strengths and low friction. This further secures a well defined play free pivot point for the control lever.
- the arched racket 2 - is because of its profile shape, shaped with an attachment portion 23 in the shape of a flange which is provided with through hole for passing through a screw not shown.
- the attachment portion has on its underside a support surface 24 which is for example plane for lying against a plane surface of a fixed portion of the vehicle.
- In the profile groove 25 is shaped for the definition of the centre for the through hole and in this way the positioning in the vehicle can be defined with high accuracy.
- the arched bracket 2* can be manufactured having a limited, space saving width, in the shown example less than the width of the control lever 1 and still achieve a steady fixation of the control lever as well as the control bracket.
- the gear control having a three-point fastening with triangularly orientated fastening points, whereby the fastening portion 23 of the arched bracket forms a symmet- rically-centrally placed attachment point, whilst both of the attachment points 16 of the pivot bracket are displaced sideways on respective sides of an imaginary symmetrically- centrally vertical plane through the arched bracket 2 * , at right angles to the pivot shaft 15.
- the arched bracket 2* is thus supported directly against the base with only one attachment point, whilst other contact with the base occurs via the pivot bracket.
- a distinct space 26 is thus main ⁇ tained from the base at one end of the arched bracket 2 * , whereby play and vibrational noise is avoided.
- the gear control is arranged, in a manner known per se, to determine the different gear positions of the automatic gearbox by selection of the pivotal location of the manoeuvring lever 1, and by actuation of said automatic gearbox via the transmission 4.
- the gear control is arranged in a standard manner to adopt six different gear positions, namely park position P, reverse position R, neutral position N, normal drive position D and two special drive positions 3 and L.
- the gear control is provided with a releasable manoeuvring latch 27, 28 in order to prevent unintentional manoeuvring from certain gear positions to certain other gear positions, both for reasons of safety and in order to protect the gearbox.
- the manoeuvring latch presents a first latch portion 27 belonging to the manoeuvring lever and a second latch portion 28 belonging to the manoeuvring bracket.
- the manoeuvring lever 1 is, in the shown example, as most clearly seen from Fig. 4 and 4, provided with a continuous hollow space extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of the manoeuvring lever, which is achieved by the lever presenting two openings 29, 30 facing each other and being positioned in the wall of the tubular manoeuvring lever.
- the arched bracket 2 - is additionally arranged to extend through said hollow space in the manoeuvring lever which is movable over an angular sector between two end positions so that the various gear posi- tions of the gear control are covered.
- the first latch portion 27 belonging to the manoeuvring lever 1 is formed by a unit in the manoeuvring lever which is movable by the driver, said unit being arranged to cooperate with the other fixedly attached latch portion 28 in the manoeuvring bracket 2 and, depending on the manoeuvring position and the form of the latch part 28, to permit and to block manoeuvring movements of the lever 1.
- the construction of the movable latch portion 28 will be described in more detail below.
- the latch portion 28 belonging to the manoeuvring bracket 2 has been achieved simply due to the fact that the arched bracket 2' , over the part which lies within the movement sector of the manoeuvring lever, is profiled with a plurality of radially extending latching edges 31-35. These are so arranged that, as standard, the manoeuvring lever 1 is blocked against movements in certain directions i.e. from certain latched positions to certain other latched positions, but permits movement in the opposite direction. However, complete latching is present in the P-position.
- the latching can however be released by means of a release mechanism 36 in the form of a push-button 36' arranged on the gear lever knob 37 and which is biased into an end position by means of a spring 38, by means of which push ⁇ button the latch part 27 is movable.
- the manoeuvring latch is however locked in the P-position under certain condi ⁇ tions by means of an adjustable lock 39, the construction of which will be described in more detail below.
- the adjustable lock 39 movement out of the P-position can for example be prevented if the vehicle's hand or foot brake are not activated and the ignition key is not in the ignition position, which is a factor giving rise to increased safety.
- the gear control 1 is additionally provided with a position indexing system which ensures that the gear lever distinctly adopts and maintains chosen gear positions.
- This function is also achieved by profiling the manoeuvring bracket with a number of tracks 40, one track for each gear position, whilst an indexing mechanism in the form of a spring-biased element is arranged in the gear lever, said element being arranged to project into the respective track and maintain the gear lever in the chosen position.
- the tracks are so formed together with the spring-biased element that they do not produce any blocking against movement between the various gear positions.
- the spring-biased element is arranged in the shown example in a manner which will be described in more detail below.
- the latching portion 27 of the manoeuvring latch which belongs to the manoeuvring lever 1 forms, together with the indexing mechanism, a combined unit with a' construction which is best shown in Fig. 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
- the latch portion 27 is formed by a latch hook element which is guided and moveable in tracks 41, 42 in the manoeuvring lever, said latch hook element having two legs 43, 44 and a transverse piece 45.
- the latch hook element is U-shaped but can of course also be rectangular or of a different form wherein two legs are fixedly connected to each other.
- the legs 43, 44 form between them a space 45' , into which the manoeuvring bracket is intended to project.
- At least the inwardly facing edge 46 of one of the legs 44 forms a latching edge for cooperation with the latching part 28 of the manoeuvring bracket 2, i.e. the fixed latching edges 31-35 which, in the first embodiment, are arranged on the lower side of the bracket.
- the mechan ⁇ ism 47 for positional indexing is integrated with the movable latch portion 27 in that this is provided with a recess 48.
- An indexing element 49 is movable in this so that a pin 50 is pressed against the arched bracket 2* by the action of a spring 51, on the side where the index track 40 is arranged, i.e. on the upper side of the manoeuvring bracket 2 in the first embodiment.
- the spring 51 is constrained between a piece 52 fixedly arranged in the manoeuvring lever, said piece being provided with a continuous channel 53 through which the manoeuvring rod 54 extends and is movable.
- the latch hook element 27 is biased by the spring 38 via the rod 54 so as to lie with its latching edge 46 in contact with the manoeuvring bracket 2, with a force which extends in the longitudinal direction of the manoeuvring lever.
- the manoeuvring rod 54 is, in the shown example, provided at its lower end with a neck portion 55, whilst the latch hook element 27 is formed with an open channel 56 formed transversely in a corresponding manner towards the free ends of the legs 43, 44, said channel 56 being formed in both legs 43, 44 so that when mounting the manoeuvring rod's end with a sideways movement (see the arrow 57) this can be introduced into the channel and maintained there under the action of a spring-biased tongue 58.
- the latch portion 27 can be turned so that the manoeuvring rod 54 can be fixed to either of the two legs 43, 44, whereby one and the same latch portion can be used for two different types of gear control.
- the latch hook element 27 is formed with an open channel 56 formed transversely in a corresponding manner towards the free ends of the legs 43, 44, said channel 56 being formed in both legs 43, 44 so that when mounting the manoeuvring rod's end with a sideways movement (see the arrow 57
- the latch part can alternatively be arranged on the upper side of the arched bracket, whilst the positional indexing, i.e. the track 40, can be arranged on the lower side of the bracket as shown in the alternative embodiment in Fig. 10.
- the movable latch part 27 is in an upper position when the manoeuvring lever 2 is in the P- position, whereby the release button 36' is in an outer position.
- Corresponding positions are also adopted in the N and D-positions, whilst in the R and L-positions the release mechanism and thereby also the latch portion 27 are made to adopt an intermediate position (not shown) by pressing in the button 36'.
- the button 36' In order to leave the P- position and to take up the special driving position , the button 36' has to be pressed in completely, whereby the latch portion 27 is made to adopt the lower position shown in Fig. 5 and 6.
- Fig. 10 shows the arched bracket 2 - completely separately and in an alternative embodiment with the latch portion 28 on the upper side of the profile and the index track 40 on the lower side.
- two upright portions 59, 60 are clearly visible, said portions forming abutment surfaces with their surfaces 61, 62 which face each other and define end positions for the manoeuvring lever 1 by abutment against these walls above both openings 29, 30 of the lever.
- the basic shape of the profile is clearly shown as a central, substantially semi-circular arch-shaped portion 63, of which the segment between the abutment portions 59, 60 presents the latch portion 28 of the manoeuvring bracket 2 on the one side of the profile, whilst the index track over the same segment is arranged on the opposite side of the profile.
- the release mechanism 36 and therewith also the movable latch portion 27 have to be spring-biased in a direction downwardly towards the manoeuvring bracket 2, whilst the release button 36' is formed for a lifting movement in order to lift the latch portion past the actual latching edges.
- Fig. 10 also shows four fastening holes 64, 65, 66, 67 for the releasable lock 39.
- the manoeuvring bracket 2 consists of a profile which is cut transversely to the profile direction with its two planar, mutually parallel side surfaces 9, 10, where practically all the functions of the bracket are thus achieved by a particular form of the profile.
- the side surfaces 9, 10, however, have a function as abutment surfaces for the manoeuvring lever upon heavy sideways lever loading and also as a fastening surface for the release lock 39.
- the construction of the release lock 39 is best seen from Fig. 2, 3 and 5, to which reference is made in the follow ⁇ ing.
- the release lock is formed as an electromagnet with a coil 68 wound on a middle leg 69 of a stamped, firm piece of sheet 72 of magnetisable material provided with three legs 69, 70, 71. This is fixedly screwed to fastening holes 64, 65 in the arched bracket 2'.
- the release lock 39 also includes a movable piece of sheet 73, positioned in the same plane as the firm piece of sheet, said piece of sheet 73 being of a magnetisable material.
- the movable piece of sheet When a voltage is applied to the coil of the electro-magnet, i.e. when the vehicle's foot or handbrake is applied and the ignition lock is in the ignition position, the movable piece of sheet is attracted towards the electro-magnet, by means of which the locking part 80 is moved out of the way and the latch part 27 can be released by pressing down the release button so that the latch part 27 is led with its latching edge 46 to a position below the fixed latching edge 31 on the latching part 28.
- the movable piece of sheet 73 extends outside the lever 1 just like the latch part 27 with both its legs 43, 44.
- Fig. 12 and 13 show an alternative embodiment of a gear control where the manoeuvring bracket 102 may similarly be formed as a cut piece of an extruded profile with a plurality of functions laid into the shape of the profile.
- the manoeuvring lever 101 can also be formed as a cut piece of an extruded profile in order to form the frame of the manoeuvring lever, said frame then being covered with a sleeve or side pieces as well as being provided with a manoeuvring knob 137 with a release button 136'.
- the manoeuvring bracket 102 is formed with a shaft 115 built into the profile shape, said shaft being supported by an arm 118.
- the manoeuvring lever 101 is formed with a cylindrical, downwardly-open recess 119, whereby the manoeuvring lever is allowed to perform a pivotal movement within its predetermined angular sector, which is required for movement between the different gear positions.
- the shaft portion 115 projects into a hollow space 185 with concave, wall portions 186, 187 which are basically cylindrically sleeve-shaped. More particularly one of the wall portions 186 is arranged on one side of the arm 118 and supports the fixed latching portion 128 of the manoeuvring latch belonging to the manoeuvring bracket.
- the latch portion 127 of the manoeuvring latch belonging to the manoeuvring lever 101 is movably attached in a movable holding part 188 in a hollow space 185 facing the wall portion 186.
- the latch part 127 is formed more particularly by a latch hook element which is radially adjustable relative to the shaft of the pivot portion 103. This is arranged to block the manoeuvring lever 101 against pivoting in certain positions and certain directions by cooperating with the latching edges 131 of the latching portion 128, which are formed in the wall portion 186.
- the second wall portion 187 of the hollow space 185 takes up the track 140 included in the mechanism for positional indexing, i.e. one track for each gear position.
- the manoeuvring lever 101 is provided with a second holding part 189 which supports the indexing element 191 which is spring-biased by means of a compression spring 190, said indexing element in the shown embodiment being formed as a ball or a cylinder. This is formed to define and guide the gear lever into the correct gear position but not to block the gear changing movement of the gear lever.
- the present invention involves a multiple point anchoring of the control device and consequently the control lever by the fact that the control bracket consists of two separate bracket members, one of the bracket members carrying the control latch and part of the pivot joint for the lever and at least one attachment point.
- the other bracket member forms a pivot bracket for the lever with at least two attachment points, said pivot bracket being connected to the first bracket member over the pivot shaft of the lever, each attachment point being provided to be attached to a base, possible over a common attachment plate and together positioning the pivot shaft for the control lever.
- the first bracket member namely the arched bracket 2* takes up the forces acting on the lever in longitudinal direction, that is to say along the normal plane of motion for the lever and positions the lever indexes.
- the second bracket member namely the joint bracket 11, takes up the side forces acting the lever, that is to say tendencies to movements transversely to said normal plane of motions.
- the arched bracket is connected to devote bracket over the pivot shaft and achieves indirectly an extra support against the base.
- the arched bracket needs therefore one single own attach ⁇ ment member which simplifies mounting and still results in a high degree stability.
- the attachment point for the arch bracket is positioned of the other side of the pivot bracket, that is to say that the space is missing. Then the other attachment member 23 can be deleted as a hole and the arch can end at the end stop 60. The attachment member 23 can however per se be kept in order to give increased stability.
- the arch bracket 2' as well as the pivot bracket can be formed and produced in a different way, for example be manufactured in plastics or sheet metal.
