Vehicular gear change aided by electronically controlled motor - utilises memorised characteristics in determn. of motor operations involving esp. manifold derivs. or time integrals

摘要

The gear lever (2) is movable in two orthogonal planes for selection and engagement respectively of a particular ratio by translation and rotation of a shaft (3) coupled to clutches (4). Additional torque for the rotation is exerted by a belt drive (6) from an electric motor (5) subject to an electronic controller (7). Logic operations are performed on inputs (8-11) w.r.t. stored characteristics for desired or limit values of motor speed, torque and direction. Significant values are displayed (14) to the driver. ADVANTAGE - Auxiliary power is generated almost noiselessly and is easily adjusted to meet any requirements.
