A shift/tilt locking apparatus for shift lever of automatic transmission may include a shift knob, a main shaft slidably and rotatably disposed in a housing such that shift knob is slidable; a crossbar having shift knob at the upper end to tilt; a shift restriction device that allows shift knob to slide by selectively restricting sliding of main shaft; and a tilting restriction device controlling shift knob to tilt by selectively restricting the tilting of shift knob by using a third solenoid, which is controlled by a shift mode determining step that determines a shift mode by checking the position of shift knob and a lever locking step that restricts/releases shift knob by selectively operating first solenoid to third solenoid.

Shift/tilt locking apparatus and method for shift lever of automatic transmission

An integrated control shift lever device according to an exemplary embodiment provides M mode of +/&#x2212; to feel a dynamic shift manipulation feeling together with automatic mode of P (parking), R (reverse), N (neutral), and D (driving) as a basic function and further provides integrated modeto provide to engine control unit the electrical signal generated by positional change of automatic lever to control the engine, suspension device, or the steering device in addition to the transmission by driver's simple manipulation, thereby significantly improving convenience and in particular, further improving performance, quality, and merchantability of an automobile when the integrated control shift lever device may be applied to a vehicle.

Integrated control shift lever device

An ignition control type auto lever device may disclose shift mode control signals for P(parking)-R(rear)-N(neutral)-D(drive) that are generated by movement of an auto lever according to a gate pattern, another mode control signal that is generated by movement of the auto lever to a section behind the D(drive), and electric signals generated by at least one or more different operations of the auto lever at a section positioned ahead of the P(parking) position that are sent to a PIC (Personal Identification Card) system.

Ignition control type auto lever device

A shifting apparatus capable of selecting any one of plural shift ranges according to a driver's manipulation intention and allowing the driver to additionally express his/her consecutive manipulation intention in a specific shift range may include: a main shaft, a shifting lever installed to slide in a straight line and pivot along the main shaft, and a gate plate limiting a reciprocation path of the shifting lever such that the shifting lever reciprocates on a single path while sliding in a straight line and pivoting along the main shaft. The gate plate may include a gate pattern having a plurality of shift ranges arranged in a line on the reciprocation path and formed in such a manner that a specific shift range among the plurality of shift ranges is discriminated from the other shift ranges.
