Gear shifting apparatus for multi-speed transmission for electric vehicles

A gear shifting apparatus for a multi-speed transmission for an electric vehicle, comprising:

• a shifting unit configured to control gear shifting by a torque of an actuator;
• and
• a parking unit including a parking sprag and configured to control engagement and disengagement of the parking sprag by the torque of the actuator,
• wherein the actuator comprises a control motor configured to transmit a driving torque to driven gears of the shifting unit and the parking unit through a drive gear externally gear-meshed with the driven gears,
• wherein the shifting unit comprises:
• a fork slider slidably mounted on a fork rail;
• a shift fork integrally formed with the fork slider and configured to activate the gear shifting;
• a finger drum connected to a first driven gear externally engaged with the drive gear, and having a finger end on an exterior circumference of the finger drum;
• and
• a shift lug configured to rotate about a centrally positioned lug shaft, and including two lug ends having a different length from each other, wherein the shift lug is configured to interact with the finger end to support or release the finger end along a rotation direction of the finger drum, and includes a coupler end coupled with a pocket portion formed at the fork slider.
