  • Patent number: 11168788
    Abstract: A parking lock module has a housing, in which, for the actuation of a parking lock, a positioning member is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. The positioning member is selectively fixable in a position relative to the housing with an arresting device, which has a detent element interacting with the positioning member. The detent element is movable with an actuator between arresting and release positions. A sensor arrangement with a position detector, which is positionally fixed relative to the housing, and a position encoder, which, for the detection of the respective position, is operatively connected to the positioning member or to the detent element. The electromagnetic actuator is activatable with a circuit board attached to the housing and bears the position detector of the sensor arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10883598
    Abstract: A parking lock module has a housing, in which, for the actuation of a parking lock, a positioning member movable from a locking position into an unlocking position and vice versa. The positioning member is selectively fixable relative to the housing with an arresting device, which has a detent contour fixed to the positioning member and has a detent element on the housing. The detent element is movable from an arresting position into a release position, and vice versa. The detent element is preloaded into the arresting position with a spring and is actively movable into the release position with a fluidic actuator with a pressurizable effective surface. The detent element can be formed as a piston guided displaceably along a feed axis and which forms the pressurizable effective surface of the fluidic actuator.
