  • Patent number: 10234023
    Abstract: An apparatus for electronically controllable transmission is provided to shift gears by moving a shift lever and sensing the magnetic flux density of a magnet, which moves based on the rotation of the shift lever, using a three-dimensional (3D) hall sensor. The apparatus includes a shift lever having one end connected to a magnet and shifting gears by moving the shift lever and a shift lever body connected to the shift lever and allows the shift lever to move around shift axis or select axis. A sensor unit is mounted fixedly intersecting the shift axis and select axis within the shift lever body and senses the movement of the magnet around an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis as the magnet moves. The sensor unit is mounted at a tilted angle to provide at least two of three output signals with linearity.
