Abstract

Disclosed herein is a shift device of a dual clutch transmission capable of simplifying a configuration of a shift control mechanism of the transmission and contributing to saving costs by sharing odd-stage and even-stage select mechanisms and individually including an odd-stage shift mechanism and an even-stage shift mechanism. The shift device of a dual clutch transmission includes: a select guide block (20) moving in a straight direction by a driving of the select motor (10); a pair of control shafts (50) and (60) each shaft moving in a select direction by the straight movement of the select guide block; and a pair of odd-stage and even-stage shift motors (30) and (40) each providing a shaft rotating force to the pair of control shafts (50) and (60) in a shift direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shift device of a dual clutch transmission, comprising:
a select motor;
a select guide block moving in a straight direction by a driving of the select motor;
a pair of odd-stage and even-stage control shafts arranged parallel to one another and at opposite sides of the select guide block, each shaft moving in an axial select direction by the straight movement of the select guide block;
a pair of odd-stage and even-stage shift motors each providing a shaft rotating force to the pair of control shafts in a shift direction; and
a lead screw rotating by the select motor to provide a straight moving force to the select guide block, said select guide block having internal threads mating with external threads of the lead screw;
wherein the lead screw is configured to interlock with the select motor through a reducer,
wherein the select guide block is provided with a pair of guide grooves for providing a shaft moving force to the pair of control shafts, respectively, in the select direction and the guide grooves are formed on opposing side surfaces of the select guide block, the grooves facing and engaged with the control shafts and
wherein each guide groove continuously forms a flat surface and an inclined surface having a multi-stage structure to adjust a shaft moving displacement of the pair of control shafts in the select direction as determined by a straight moving distance of the select guide block.

2. The shift device of claim 1 , wherein the pair of control shafts is each provided with select fingers inserted into the guide grooves of the select guide block.

3. The shift device of claim 2 , wherein the select finger has an idle roller provided with an outer circumferential surface thereof to reduce a friction resistance with the guide groove.

4. The shift device of claim 1 , wherein the pair of shift motors is each provided with lead screws, wherein the lead screws are each provided with nut screws individually tooth-engaged therewith, wherein the pair of control shafts is each provided with select fingers for individually interlocking with the select guide block and shift fingers for individually interlocking with the nut screws, and wherein the nut screws individually include shift rugs for interlocking with the shift fingers.

5. The shift device of claim 4 , wherein the shift rug is configured to interlock the shift finger over a shaft moving displacement in the select direction of the pair of control shafts.

6. The shift device of claim 1 , wherein the pair of shift motors is each provided with lead screws, wherein the lead screws are each provided with nut screws individually tooth-engaged therewith, wherein the pair of control shafts is each provided with select fingers for individually interlocking with the select guide block and shift sector gears for interlocking with the nut screws, and wherein the nut screws include shift rack gears individually tooth-engaged with the shift sector gears, respectively.

7. The shift device of claim 6 , wherein the shift rack gear remains tooth-engaged with the shift sector gears, respectively, over the shaft moving displacement of the pair of control shafts in the select direction.
