US 2011/0079101 A1 · ACTUATING APPARATUS FOR ACTUATING AT LEAST ONE SHIFT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY THEREOF

Abstract

An actuating apparatus for actuating a shifting mechanism in a transmission to shift a gear wheel on a hollow shaft with an actuator module that is at least partially positioned within the hollow shaft and which comprises an actuator which can be connected with a coupling element of the shift mechanism which radially, inwardly extends into the inner diameter of the hollow shaft. The enclosure of the actuator module has at least an axially extending assembly passageway which guides the coupling element, during axial insertion of the actuator module into the hollow shaft. A method for the assembly and disassembly of an actuator module, with at least one actuator of an actuating apparatus for inside actuation of a shift mechanism on the hollow shaft. The actuator module is axially inserted into the hollow shaft and rotated via an assembly guide.

An actuating apparatus for actuating at least one shift mechanism of a transmission for shifting at least one gear wheel on a hollow shaft (2) with at least one actuator module (1) that is at least partially positioned in the hollow shaft (2) and which comprises at least one actuator (4, 5) for internal actuation which is operationally connectable with at least one coupling element (10, 11, 11′) that extends radially inward to an inner diameter of the hollow shaft (2);

and
the actuator module (1) having at least one axial assembly guide as an open passageway for the coupling element (10, 11, 11′) when the actuator module (1) is axially inserted into the hollow shaft (2).

A method for assembly and disassembly of an actuator module (1) with at least one actuator (4, 5) of an actuating apparatus for internal activation of at least one shifting mechanism in a hollow shaft (2), the at least one actuator module (1) being at least partially positioned in the hollow shaft (2) and being operationally connectable with at least one coupling element (10, 11, 11′) that extends radially inward to an inner diameter of the hollow shaft (2), the actuator module (1) having at least one axial assembly guide as an open passageway for the coupling element (10, 11, 11′) when the actuator module (1) is axially inserted into the hollow shaft (2), and the method comprising the steps of:

inserting the actuator module (1) axial along the at least one assembly guide in the hollow shaft (2);
and
rotationally moving the actuator module (1) to achieve the operational connection between the respective coupling element (10;
11, 11′) and accommodation areas (6, 7) of the actuator (4, 5) which are assigned to the at least one coupling element (10;
11, 11′).
