Abstract
A gear-change selector module has a pipeline module including a plurality of pipes for providing a working fluid, and a gear-change selector housing having a plurality of channels which are each assigned to one of the pipes. The pipes are coupled to the channels via a respective plug-in connection. Each plug-in connection has a seal. Viewed in the plug-in direction, the seals are arranged at different levels.
Claims21
A gear-change selector module comprising:
- a pipeline module comprising a plurality of pipes for providing a working fluid, exteriors of the plurality of pipes being mechanically linked together to form the pipeline module;
- and
- a gear-change selector housing having a plurality of hydraulic cylinders with pistons which are displaceable in an axial direction, and a plurality of channels which are each assigned to one of the pipes,
- wherein each of the pipes includes a first portion perpendicular to the axial direction, and a second portion disposed at a non-zero angle with respect to the first portion,
- wherein the second portions of the pipes are coupled to the channels via a respective plug-in connection,
- wherein each plug-in connection has a seal, and
- wherein when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a plug-in direction, the seals are arranged at different levels in the plug-in direction, the plug-in direction being along the second portion of the pipes.
