GEAR SHIFTING METHOD AND GEAR SHIFTING ARRANGEMENT FOR A TRANSMISSION

摘要

The invention relates to a gear shifting method for a transmission having two degrees of freedom and a gear shifting arrangement for implementing the inventive gear shifting method. Shiftable transmissions are normally shifted with setting elements that are often energetically and functionally overdimensioned. The new solution disclosed in the invention makes it possible to shift gears in a reliable manner while requiring little energy. A passive shifting member is used in the inventive solution, by means of which at least two motion curves or positions of the drive elements of the transmission can be shifted by placing the gear shifting member is a release or blocking state. The passive gear shifting member makes it possible to reduce the gear shifting operation to a purely shifting process and prevents superfluous movements of the setting elements, thereby enabling a gear shifting operation that is reliable and requires little energy. The invention can be used in all sorts of transmission with guidance, transmission and clutch functions.
