US 2018/0079428 A1 · ACTUATING DEVICE

Abstract

An actuating device for shifting stages of a transmission, wherein a displaceable actuator for the manual selection of a shift stage (or driving mode) is provided, which can be adjusted into a plurality of positions. At least some or each of the positions can be assigned necessary conditions for the engagement of a shift stage assigned to the position. If the actuator is displaced into a position for which the conditions necessary for the same are not fulfilled, the associated shift stage is not engaged in the transmission and corresponding first signaling is carried out. Fulfillment of the necessary conditions of the associated shift stage following the displacement of the actuator into the position assigned to the shift stage or following the displacement in the direction of the associated position for the associated shift stage leads to the shift stage in the transmission being engaged.

An actuating device for shifting shift stages of a transmission or engaging a driving mode of a transmission of a motor vehicle, wherein a displaceable actuating means for the manual selection of a shift stage or driving mode is provided, which can be adjusted into a plurality of positions, wherein at least some or each of the positions can be assigned necessary conditions for the engagement of the shift stage or driving mode assigned to the position,

wherein, if the actuating means is displaced into position or in the direction of a position for which the conditions necessary for the same are not fulfilled, the associated shift stage or driving mode is not engaged in the transmission and a corresponding first signaling is carried out,
wherein the fulfillment of the necessary conditions of the associated shift stage or driving mode following tie displacement of the actuating means into the position assigned to the shift stage or driving mode or following the displacement in the direction of the associated position for the associated shift stage or driving mode leads to the shift stage or driving mode in the transmission being engaged.

A method for operating a transmission having an actuating device or shifting shift stages of a transmission or for engaging a driving mode of a transmission of a motor vehicle, and a displaceable actuating means for manual selection of a shift stage or driving mode and which can be adjusted into a plurality of positions, wherein at least some or each of the positions can be assigned necessary conditions for the engagement of the shift stage or driving mode assigned to the position, wherein the method comprises:

if the actuating means is displaced into a position or in the direction of a position for which the conditions necessary for the same are not fulfilled, the associated shift stage or driving mode is not engaged in the transmission and corresponding first signaling is carried out, and
fulfillment of the necessary conditions of the associated shift stage or driving mode following the displacement of the actuating means into the position assigned to the shift stage or driving mode or following the displacement in the direction of the associated position for the associated shift stage or driving mode leads to the shift stage or driving mode in the transmission being engaged.
