Abstract
A vehicle transmission detent assembly is provided that includes a housing having a bore. A movable shift rail is supported by the housing and includes a recess at least partially aligned with the bore. A detent is at least partially arranged within the bore and engages the recess. A biasing member generates a force on the detent and urges the detent into engagement with the recess. An adjustment member threadingly received within a portion of the housing coacts with the biasing member. Upon manipulation of the adjustment member, the biasing member may be moved between a plurality of compressive states in which each of the states generates a different force on the detent. In this manner, the biasing spring may be compressed or uncompressed to provide a desired shift feel.
Description
- This invention relates to a detent assembly for a transmission, and more particularly, the invention relates to an adjustable detent assembly for varying the shift feel of the shift lever.
- Manual transmissions typically include a shift lever that may be manipulated by a vehicle operator to shift the transmission between gears. Heavy vehicles incorporate numerous powertrain configurations and numerous body configurations having different cabs. For example, different transmissions may be used in combination with various engines. Similarly, due to different cab configurations and the arrangement of the interior within the cab, the location of the shift lever must be tailored to place the shift lever sufficiently near the vehicle operator. Commonly, shift levers are bent for a particular configuration so that the shift lever is within reach of the vehicle operator.
- Detent assemblies are used to provide feedback or a shift feel to the vehicle operator so that the vehicle operator can tell through shift resistance the location of the shift lever in the shift pattern. Once the shift lever and shift mechanism are located in a desired position, the detent assembly retains the shift lever and shift mechanism in that position until acted on by the vehicle operator. Typically, the detent assembly is associated with a shift rail that is manipulated by the shift lever throughout the shift pattern.
- A standard detent assembly that has a fixed distance between the rail centerline and the biasing member's axial constraint may not be sufficient for all transmission applications. That is, a particular powertrain or vehicle configuration may necessitate different force characteristics than those provided by the standard detent assembly. For example, a shift lever bent in a particular shape reduce the ability of the detent assembly to maintain the positioning of the shift lever and shift mechanism. Also, a vehicle operator may desire a different shift feel than that provided by the standard detent assembly. Due to the shift lever configuration and/or driver preference. Therefore, what is needed is an adjustable detent assembly that may be tailored to a particular vehicle configuration or operator preference.
- The present invention provides a vehicle transmission detent assembly including a housing having a bore. A movable shift rail is supported by the housing and includes a recess at least partially aligned with the bore. A detent is at least partially arranged within the bore and engages the recess. A biasing member generates a force on the detent and urges the detent into engagement with the recess. An adjustment member threadingly received within a portion of the housing coacts with the biasing member. Upon manipulation of the adjustment member, the biasing member may be moved between a plurality of compressive states in which each of the states generates a different force on the detent. In this manner the biasing spring may be compressed or uncompressed to provide a desired shift feel.
- Accordingly, the above invention provides an adjustable detent assembly that may be tailored to a particular vehicle configuration or operator preference.

- A
vehicle transmission 10 is shown schematically in FIG. 1. Thetransmission 10 includes ashift lever 12 bent to a desired shape for a particular vehicle configuration. Theshift lever 12 extends into the vehicle cab to an area that may be easily reached by a vehicle operator. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, thetransmission 10 includes atransmission housing 14 that supports a movable shift member such as ashift rail 16. It is to be understood that atransmission housing 14 may include multiple components fastened together and may be formed and assembled by any suitable process. Theshift rail 16 supports ashift fork 17 that manipulates shift collars and clutches to engage and disengage the gears within the transmission to achieve a desired gear ratio. Theshift rail 16 includes arecess 18 that may include aprofile 20 defining a plurality ofshift positions shift lever 12 is moved to manipulate theshift rail 16 and shiftfork 17 to shift the transmission gears.Adjustable detent assembly 23 cooperates with therecess 18 to provide a shift feel and feedback to the vehicle operator as the shift rail moves between theshift positions recess 18 may include one or more pockets. Furthermore, thedetent assembly 23 retains theshift rail 16 in the selected position so that the desired gear ratio may be maintained until the vehicle operator selects another gear. While thedetent assembly 23 of the present invention is described engaging a shift rail supporting a shift fork, it is to be understood that the adjustable detent assembly of the present invention may be used with any movable shift member within the transmission. - The
housing 14 includes abore 24 aligned with a portion of therecess 18. Adetent 26 is at least partially disposed within thebore 24 and extends from thebore 24 to engage therecess 18. A resilient member such as acoil spring 28 is arranged within thebore 24 to urge thedetent 26 into engagement with therecess 18 and generate a force profile on theshift rail 16 as theshift lever 12 moves theshift rail 16 through theshift positions transmission 10 is assembled. However, the present invention utilizes anadjustment member 36 to achieve different compressive states with thespring 28 to apply a desired force on the detent 26, and in turn, theshift rail 16. In one embodiment, aplate 32 is secured to ahousing boss 30 by afastener 34. A portion of theplate 32 threadingly receives a threaded portion of theadjustment member 36. Theadjustment member 36 may be either loosened or tightened to uncompress or compress thespring 28 and achieve a desired force profile on theshift rail 16. The hole in theplate 32 receiving theadjustment member 36 may be sufficiently small such that if theadjustment member 36 is removed thespring 28 will be retained within thebore 24. In this manner, the vehicle operator will not lose shift feel if theadjustment member 36 is inadvertently removed. - Referring to FIGS.3A-3C, the
adjustment member 36 may be arranged transverse to thebore 24 within a threadedhole 38. Theadjustment member 36 may include atapered end 40 that co-acts with aplunger 42 extending from thebore 24 into the threadedhole 38. Theplunger 42 may include aflange 46 that retains theplunger 42 within anarrow portion 44 of thebore 24 if theadjustment member 36 is removed. Rotation of theadjustment member 36 will compress or uncompress thespring 28. - A liquid bonding agent such as Loctite® may be used to secure the
adjustment member 36 within the threadedhole 38. Alternatively, alock washer 48 andwasher 49 arrangement may be arranged between ahead 47 of theadjustment member 36 and thehousing 14 to maintain theadjustment member 36 in a desired position once the desired detent force has been achieved, as shown in FIG. 4. - A
bushing 50 may be arranged within thebore 24, as shown in FIG. 5. Theadjustment member 36 may include ashoulder 52 that is received in an interference relationship within thebushing 50. The interference fit maintains theadjustment member 36 in the desired position once the desired detent force has been achieved. - Alternatively, a
lock nut 54 may be secured to the threaded portion of theadjustment member 36 extending from thehousing 14. Once theadjustment member 36 has been adjusted to the desired position, thelock nut 54 may be tightened against thehousing 14 to maintain theadjustment member 36 in the desired position. - The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology that has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. For example, combinations of features of the various embodiments may be employed. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
