    摘要: A control device for a power transmission mechanism includes a controller. The power transmission mechanism includes an engagement mechanism and an operation mechanism including a movable member and a guide member. The guide member includes a plurality of guide areas being configured to move relative to the movable member to guide the movable member to an engaging position or to a disengaging position. The controller is configured to switch, when determining that a predetermined condition related to traveling of the vehicle is satisfied, a contact guide area that is in contact with the movable member to guide the movable member to the engaging position or to the disengaging position, from a first guide area to a second guide area that are included in the plurality of guide areas.

    摘要: A shifting mechanism in which an inclination of a sleeve with respect to a shift fork is reduced while maintaining a clearance between the shift fork and the sleeve. In the shifting mechanism, an engagement groove is formed entirely around a shift sleeve, and a cutout is formed on the engagement groove. A first diameter of the shift sleeve between predetermined sites of the bottom of the engagement groove within the cutouts is shorter than a second diameter of the shift sleeve between predetermined sites of the bottom of the engagement groove. A straight-line distance between the engagement ridges formed on both ends of the shift fork is longer than the first diameter but shorter than the second diameter.

    摘要: A power transmission unit that can prevent unintentional disengagement of a clutch. A first set of teeth formed on an outer circumferential surface of a first rotary member is engaged with a third set of teeth formed on an inner circumferential surface of a second rotary member. A second set of teeth formed on an inner circumferential surface of the first rotary member is meshed with a fourth set of teeth formed on an outer circumferential surface of a third rotary member. A center of engagement between the first set of teeth and the third set of teeth is situated at a point withdrawn from a center of engagement between the second set of teeth and the fourth set of teeth in the direction to disengage the first set of teeth from the third set of teeth.

    摘要: A battery electric vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a shifter, a mode selector, and a control device. The mode selector selects either an EV mode or an MT mode as a control mode for an electric motor according to a mode selection operation by a driver. When the SOC of a battery is within a predetermined range, the control device controls the electric motor in the control mode selected by the mode selector. When the SOC is out of the predetermined range, the control device controls the electric motor in the EV mode regardless of the control mode selected by the mode selector.
