Abstract
An actuating device for transmitting shift commands to an automatic gearbox of a motor vehicle. The actuating device comprises a selector lever which is movable in a selector lane between an automatic shift lane and a sequential shift lane, a shift carriage for transmitting the shift commands to a gearbox transmission element, a separating device for separating the force transmission between the selector lever and the shift carriage, and a locking device for blocking the selector lever in at least one selector lever position. The locking device is set up to block the shift carriage. The shift carriage can be blocked not only in the shift-lock positions but also in the position of the shift carriage which corresponds to the selector lane position of the selector lever.

An actuating device for transmitting a shift command to an automatic transmission of a vehicle, the actuating device comprises a movable selector lever (6) positioned in a selector lane (5), between an automatic shift lane (3) and a sequential shift lane (4), a shift carrier (9) for transmitting the shift command to a transmission transmitting element (7), a separating device (8, 11) for separating the transmitted force between the selector lever (6) and the shift carrier (9), an actuating lock device (12) for locking the selector lever (6) in at least one selector lever position, and the lock device (12) enables locking of the shift carrier (9) when shift carrier (9) is positioned in at least the selector lane (5) of the selector lever (6).
An actuating device for transmitting a shift command to an automatic transmission of a vehicle, the actuating device comprises:
- a movable selector lever (6) being movable within one of an automatic shift lane (3) and a sequential shift lane (4) via a selector lane (5) located between the automatic shift lane (3) and the sequential shift lane (4),
- a shift carrier (9) for transmitting the shift command to a transmission transmitting element (7),
- a separating device (8, 11) for separating the transmitted force between the selector lever (6) and the shift carrier (9), and
- an actuating lock device (12) for locking the selector lever (6) in at least one selector lever position, and when shift carrier (9) is positioned in at least one of the selector lane (5) and the sequential shift lane (4), the lock device (12) enables locking of the shift carrier (9) so that a shifting of the transmission is carried out electronically.
An actuating device for shifting an automatic transmission of a vehicle, the actuating device comprising:
- a selector lever (6) being shiftable, via a selector lane (5), between an automatic shift lane (3) and a sequential shift lane (4);
- a shift carriage (9) for transmitting shifting force from the selector lever (6) to a transmission linkage element (7), and the shift carriage (9) being coupled to an H-shaped channel (11);
- a gate pin (8) being coupled to the selector lever (6) and being accommodated within the H-shaped channel such that shifting the selector lever (6) controls movement of the gate pin (8) within the H-shaped channel (11), and the transmission of the shifting force from the selector lever (6) to the transmission linkage element (7) being interrupted when the gate pin (8) is moved from a center position of the H-shaped channel (11) to facilitate electronic shifting of the transmission;
- and
- a lock device (12) being actuatable to lock movement of the shift carriage (9), and the lock device (12) locking movement of the shift carriage (9) at least when the selector lever (6) is moved into the selector lane (5).
