Latest Patents
One of Takeyama's latest patents is an automatic speed-change apparatus for a gear transmission. This invention incorporates a select mechanism for executing select operations and a change speed mechanism for executing change speed operations. The change speed mechanism features a change speed motor capable of controlling both forward and backward rotation. It includes a single or multiple intermediate shaft gear mechanisms that reduce and transmit the speed of the rotation from the speed change motor. Each mechanism consists of a large diameter gear, a small diameter gear, and an intermediate shaft, which is parallel to a select and change speed pull-rod. Additionally, a change speed sensor is provided on the outer end of the pull-rod to detect the operating angle in the rotation direction.
Another notable patent by Takeyama is also an automatic speed-change apparatus for a gear transmission. The objective of this invention is to provide a compact speed-change apparatus that performs automatic gear shifting in conventional gear transmissions. This apparatus includes a select mechanism with a select motor that can rotate forward and backward, gears for transmitting the motor's rotation, and a select-shift sleeve connected to the gear transmission. The shift mechanism comprises a shift motor, a gear rotated by the shift motor, and a swing gear that meshes with the gear and swings on an intermediate shaft as a fulcrum.
