Shift-by-wire shifting device having mechanical parking lock actuation

An actuation device for selecting gear settings of a shift-by-wire gear shifting transmission, the actuation device comprising:

• an actuation element that can move along a shifting path between a parking brake setting and a driving gear setting,
• a mechanical transference device for mechanically actuating the parking brake, and
• a coupling device disposed between the actuation element and the mechanical transference device,
• wherein the coupling device is configured for the selective actuation of the mechanical transference device only when the actuation element moves into or out of the parking brake setting,
• wherein the coupling device comprises a substantially prismatic bearing guide having a notch and a two-part coupling carriage supported in a displaceable manner along the bearing guide, the two-part coupling carriage comprising an actuation-side carriage part and a transference-device-side carriage part,
• wherein the actuation-side carriage part and the transference-device-side carriage part overlap one another in the coupled position at an overlap section in an axial plane of the bearing guide,
• wherein a locking element is disposed in the transference-device-side carriage part in the overlapping section, at a right angle to the bearing guide, supported in a moveable manner, and spaced apart from the bearing guide and the notch,
• wherein the locking element can move perpendicular to the bearing guide between a first relative position and a non-self-limiting second relative position, wherein when the locking element is in the first relative position, the actuation-side carriage part and the transference-device-side carriage part are coupled together by an engagement of the locking element in both parts of the two-part coupling carriage and when the locking element is in the non-self-limiting second relative position, by moving the two-part coupling carriage along the bearing guide so that the locking element is over the notch, the engagement of the locking element with the actuation-side carriage part is released.
