What is a Manual-Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual-automatic transmission is a gear-shifting method that combines manual and automatic shifting in automobiles. Below is relevant information: 1. Working principle of manual-automatic transmission: Structurally, it mainly consists of a conventional gearbox (same as manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic gear-shifting mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The electronically controlled clutch automatically engages, disengages, or partially engages the clutch as needed. During operation, the transmission ECU controls a stepper motor to push the clutch fork, thereby engaging or disengaging the clutch. The automatic gear-shifting mechanism automatically selects the appropriate gear as required. 2. Advantages: Automatic transmission significantly reduces the impact of manual shifting on the vehicle's drivetrain, thereby extending the vehicle's service life and improving ride comfort. It can select the appropriate gear based on road conditions, ensuring the engine operates under optimal conditions. For cars frequently navigating complex road conditions, it eliminates the need for drivers to depress the clutch for frequent gear changes, thus reducing driver fatigue.
