Abstract

A shifting device for a motor vehicle transmission includes several transmission shafts which each are rotatable about a transmission axis, a synchronizer ring which is firmly connected with a transmission shaft, a first disk carrier, a plurality of first disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the first disk carrier, a second disk carrier which is axially shiftable relative to the first disk carrier and in circumferential direction can be coupled with the synchronizer ring both frictionally and positively, a plurality of second disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the second disk carrier and form a multidisk clutch with the first disks, and an actuating body for axially pressurizing the second disk carrier, wherein the actuating body and the second disk carrier are rotatable relative to each other in circumferential direction and substantially are firmly connected with each other in axial direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shifting device for a motor vehicle transmission, comprising
several transmission shafts which each are rotatable about a transmission axis,
a synchronizer ring which is firmly connected with a transmission shaft,
a first disk carrier,
a plurality of first disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the first disk carrier,
a second disk carrier which is axially shiftable relative to the first disk carrier and can be coupled with the synchronizer ring both frictionally and positively in a circumferential direction,
a plurality of second disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the second disk carrier and form a multidisk clutch with the first disks,
an actuating body for axially pressurizing the second disk carrier,
wherein the actuating body and the second disk carrier are rotatable relative to each other in the circumferential direction and are substantially firmly connected with each other in an axial direction, and
further comprising a friction ring which is axially shiftably and in the circumferential direction positively connected with the second disk carrier and includes a cone surface for frictional coupling with the synchronizer ring,
wherein the friction ring and the second disk carrier are rotatable relative to each other in the circumferential direction to a limited extent and include blocking surfaces associated to each other, which enable or block an axial relative displacement between the friction ring and the second disk carrier depending on a synchronizing torque between the friction ring and the synchronizer ring.

2. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first disk carrier forms a transmission housing or is firmly connected with a transmission housing.

3. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first disk carrier is substantially non-rotatably connected with a further transmission shaft.

4. The shifting device according to claim 1 , characterized by a form-fit ring which is firmly connected with the second disk carrier and includes form-fit elements for the positive coupling with the synchronizer ring.

5. The shifting device according to claim 4 , wherein the synchronizer ring includes form-fit elements which can be brought in engagement with the form-fit elements of the form-fit ring by axial relative displacement, in order to couple the synchronizer ring and the form-fit ring in the circumferential direction.

6. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the synchronizer ring includes a cone surface which can be brought in contact with the cone surface of the friction ring by axial relative displacement, in order to couple the synchronizer ring and the friction ring in the circumferential direction.

7. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second disk carrier or a component firmly connected with the second disk carrier forms an axial stop for the friction ring, which in a starting position of the actuating body defines a ventilating position of the friction ring.

8. The shifting device according to claim 7 , wherein a friction ring spring element is provided, which axially urges the friction ring into its ventilating position.

9. The shifting device according to claim 8 , wherein the friction ring spring element on the one hand supports on the second disk carrier and on the other hand on the friction ring.

10. The shifting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bearing ring firmly connected with the second disk carrier, which is mounted on the actuating body firmly in the axial direction and slidingly in the circumferential direction.

11. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating body is axially shiftable between a starting position, in which the transmission shaft and the first disk carrier are decoupled in the circumferential direction and the multidisk clutch is open, and a coupling position in which the transmission shaft and the first disk carrier are positively connected in the circumferential direction and the multidisk clutch is closed.

12. The shifting device according to claim 11 , wherein an actuating body spring element is provided, which axially urges the actuating body into the starting position.

13. The shifting device according to claim 12 , wherein the actuating body spring element on the one hand supports on the first disk carrier and on the other hand on the actuating body.

14. The shifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first disk carrier or a component firmly connected with the first disk carrier includes a cylinder portion and the actuating body is designed as a piston, wherein the piston is axially shiftably guided in the cylinder portion.

15. The shifting device according to claim 14 , wherein the cylinder portion and the piston define a pressurizable chamber for the axial displacement of the piston.
