Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a transmission using a button and a knob includes a first shift part that receives a selection command of a first shift range by a linear motion, a second shift part that receives a selection command of a second shift range by a rotational motion, and a substrate that transmits a shift control signal corresponding to the selection command inputted via either the first shift part or the second shift part. Each of the first shift part and the second shift part includes a contact part configured to contact the substrate while linearly moving in response to the first shift part or the second shift part being activated.
Claims13
An apparatus for controlling a transmission, comprising:
- a first shift part that receives a selection command of a first shift range by a linear motion;
- a second shift part that receives a selection command of a second shift range by a rotational motion;
- and
- a substrate that transmits a shift control signal corresponding to the selection command inputted via either the first shift part or the second shift part,
- wherein each of the first shift part and the second shift part comprises a contact part configured to contact the substrate while linearly moving in response to the first shift part or the second shift part being activated,
- wherein the first shift part comprises:
- a button to receive the selection command of the first shift range;
- and
- a first contact part holder including a first contact part configured to linearly move in response to the button being pressed so as to be in contact with a first terminal provided on the substrate, and
- wherein the second shift part comprises a knob to receive the selection command of the second shift range,
- wherein the first shift part comprises a button separation prevention part to prevent the button from being separated,
- wherein the button and the button separation prevention part are coupled to each other with at least a portion of the knob disposed therebetween, and
- wherein the button separation prevention part comprises a shock-absorbing part to alleviate an impact with the knob when the button returns to its default position by an elastic part.
An apparatus for controlling a transmission, comprising:
- a first shift part that receives a selection command of a first shift range by a linear motion;
- a second shift part that receives a selection command of a second shift range by a rotational motion;
- and
- a substrate that transmits a shift control signal corresponding to the selection command inputted via either the first shift part or the second shift part,
- wherein each of the first shift part and the second shift part comprises a contact part configured to contact the substrate while linearly moving in response to the first shift part or the second shift part being activated, and
- wherein the second shift part comprises:
- a knob to receive the selection command of the second shift range;
- a pinion that is rotated as the knob is rotated;
- and
- a second contact part holder connected to the pinion to linearly move as the pinion is rotated.
