Abstract

An apparatus for moving a shift rail of a transmission may include a control shaft provided to be moved in a direction perpendicular to a plurality of shift rails by an actuator, a plurality of rollers protruding from one selected among a corresponding one of the shift rails and the control shaft, the rollers being formed on one of facing sides of the shift rail and the control shaft, and a cam protruding in an S-shaped form from a remaining one selected among the corresponding shift rail and the control shaft, on which no roller is formed, the cam being provided to selectively move the shift rails in an axial direction by moving while coming into contact at opposite sides thereof with the rollers depending on a distance by which the control shaft is moved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus for moving a shift rail of a transmission, the apparatus including:
a control shaft provided to be moved in a direction perpendicular to a plurality of shift rails by an actuator;
a plurality of rollers protruding from one selected among a corresponding one of the shift rails and the control shaft, the rollers being formed on one of facing sides of the shift rail and the control shaft; and
a cam protruding in an S-shaped form from a remaining one selected among the corresponding shift rail and the control shaft, on which no roller is formed, the cam being provided to selectively move the shift rails in an axial direction by moving while coming into contact at opposite sides thereof with the rollers depending on a distance by which the control shaft is moved,
wherein the rollers are formed on a corresponding one of the shift rails to be arrange side by side in the axial direction,
wherein the cam is formed in the S-shaped form in the axial direction along a center axis of the control shaft and is provided to pass across a gap between the rollers formed on each shift rail, and
wherein the cam is shorter than a distance between adjacent different shift rails of the plurality of shift rails.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shift rails are moved to a first side when a first side of the cam contacts with the rollers and are moved to an opposite side when a remaining side of the cam contacts with the rollers, while the control shaft is moved.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cam has opposite end portions having a curved shape.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cam is provided to continuously contact at opposite sides thereof with different rollers of the plurality of rollers when moving between the plurality of rollers.
