BUTTON OPERATED GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM

Abstract

Gear shifting mechanism plays an important role in conservation of fuel and energy. This all can be achieved by pneumatic button operated gear shifting mechanism. This study is focused on pneumatic system and its design for gear shifting mechanism. There are different methods of button operated gear shifting mechanism but study compares the methods that are used in pneumatic button operated gear shifting which is operated by pneumatic system in which air as working fluid and another one is electro-magnetic button operated gear shifting which works on the principle of electro-magnet. This project is developed for the users to change the gear in electronic manner. The main parts are Gear mechanism, gear changing buttons, microcontroller unit, gear motor etc. The gear changing lever in the vehicle is connected with the Gear motor. When the gear changing key is pressed in the key panel, the microcontroller senses the signal and controls the gear changing motor through driver and relay mechanism. To step up the gear from neutral, the gear changing motor rotates in forward direction and to step down the gear, the motor rotates in reverse direction. The gear can be changed by pressing the key again and again while pressing the clutch lever. This mechanism is very easy to change the gear.
