Abstract

An actuation device especially for actuating a transmission for selecting a gear step and engaging and disengaging the selected gear step and/or for actuating at least one clutch. The actuation device includes at least one rotatable roll element that has guide tracks, into each of which a contact element of a selector fork engages to move the selector fork in order to select and engage or disengage a gear step of a transmission, and an actuation region for a clutch actuation means for actuating the at least one clutch.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a friction clutch; and,
an actuating device for actuating a transmission to select a transmission ratio and to engage or disengage the selected transmission ratio and to actuate the friction clutch, the actuating device, comprising:
at least one rotary cylinder element;
guide tracks formed in the at least one rotary cylinder element;
shift forks, each with a contact element engaging in the respective guide tracks to displace the shift forks in order to select and engage or disengage the transmission ratio of the transmission; and,
an actuating region for a clutch actuating means for actuating the friction clutch.

2. The actuating device recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one cylinder element is rotatable in a first direction of rotation and in a second direction of rotation counter to the first direction of rotation.

3. The actuating device recited in claim 1 , wherein the guide tracks of the at least one cylinder element are arranged on an outer circumference of the cylinder element.

4. The actuating device recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one cylinder element is hollow and the actuating region is formed on an inner circumference of the at least one cylinder element.

5. The actuating device recited in claim 1 , wherein the guide tracks have junctions and the junctions are passed through as a function of a direction of rotation.

6. The actuating device recited claim 5 , wherein upon the passing of a junction in a first direction of rotation, a change is made from one guide track to another guide track.

7. The actuating device recited in claim 5 , wherein upon the passing of a junction in a second direction of rotation, no change is made from one guide track to another.

8. The actuating device recited in claim 1 , wherein the actuating region has ramp regions arranged to lock the clutch actuating means against the ramp region and to entrain it in the rotation upon a rotation of the actuating region in a first direction of rotation and to rotate the clutch actuating means relative to the ramp region and not to entrain it in the rotation upon a rotation of the actuating region in a second direction of rotation.

9. A transmission with a plurality of transmission ratios and at least one clutch, comprising at least one actuating device as recited in claim 1 .

10. The transmission recited in claim 9 , wherein two actuating devices are provided to select a transmission ratio and to engage or disengage the selected transmission ratio and to actuate two clutches.

11. The transmission recited in claim 9 , wherein the transmission is a double clutch transmission.

12. An actuating device for actuating a transmission to select a transmission ratio and to engage or disengage the selected transmission ratio and to actuate at least one clutch, comprising:
at least one rotary cylinder element;
guide tracks formed in the at least one rotary cylinder element;
a shift fork with a contact element engaging in the respective guide tracks to displace the shift fork in order to select and engage or disengage the transmission ratio of the transmission; and,
an actuating region for a clutch actuating means for actuating the at least one clutch;
wherein the at least one cylinder element is hollow and the actuating region is formed on an inner circumference of the at least one cylinder element.
