  • Patent number: 12092211
    Abstract: Provided is an axially-limited guide device applied in a parking mechanism. The parking mechanism includes a parking pawl and a parking shift fork that is axially movable. The guide device includes a parking bracket assembly and a guide block. The guide block is configured to be slidably engaged with an execution member at an end of the parking shift fork to allow for a relative rotation of the parking pawl and a rotary shaft. The parking bracket assembly is configured to axially limit the parking pawl and guide the parking shift fork. The parking bracket assembly includes a limiting portion abutting against the guide block. The limiting portion is configured to limit an axial movement of the guide block when the execution member at the end of the parking shift fork is axially disengaged from the guide block. Also provided are a parking mechanism and an automobile.

  • Patent number: 11502688
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal isolation and conversion circuit and a control apparatus. The signal isolation and conversion circuit comprises a pulse signal generating circuit and an optical coupling complementary isolation circuit connected with the pulse signal generating circuit; the pulse signal generating circuit is used for receiving an input signal and converting the input signal into a pulse signal; the optical coupling complementary isolation circuit comprises at least two photocouplers, and the at least two photocouplers are switched on or off according to the pulse signal so as to transmit the pulse signal to the output end of the signal isolation and conversion circuit. By arranging the optical coupling complementary isolation circuit, the problems of transmission delay, transmission signal distortion and light attenuation and temperature drift of the light-emitting diode in the optocoupler are effectively solved, the timeliness of isolation signal transmission is improved.
