Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When a synchronizing sleeve that is driven by an actuator in response to gear shift request is stroked from a release position to an engagement position, a differential rotation speed between an input rotation and an output rotation is calculated at stroke positions after a synchronization completion position; and when the said differential rotation speed is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, a damage determination index is calculated based on the said differential rotation speed. Further, when a cumulative value of the damage determination index accumulated for each gear position becomes equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, the engagement operation of the gear position corresponding to the said cumulative value is disabled. This makes it possible to effectively determine the degree of damage when a gear whine occurs to a synchronized engaging device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A control unit for synchronous engaging device, comprising: an input shaft of a transmission; one or more input gears on the input shaft to transmit rotation of the input shaft; an output shaft in parallel with the input shaft; one or more output gears on the output shaft to engage with each of the one or more input gears; a synchronous engaging device having a sleeve movable between an engaging position and a release position where said engaging pos…
