[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown in Figure 10 , a full-time transfer case includes a transfer case housing 1, an oil pump, a power input shaft 2, an input sun gear 201, an input sun gear hub 201.1, a plurality of input planet gears 202, an input planet carrier 203, an input planet gear hub 203.1, an input ring gear 204, a rear output shaft 3, a rear output gear hub 301, a high / low speed shift sleeve 401, a high / low speed shift fork 402, a shift guide shaft 403, a front output shaft 5, a driving sprocket 501, a driven sprocket 502, a transmission chain 503, and a magnet block 101.

[0043] It further includes a differential housing 6 with one end open, a differential planet carrier 601 rotatably connected to the driving sprocket 501, a differential sun gear 602 capable of driving the driving sprocket 501, a differential ring gear 603 located inside the differential housing 6, a mating gear hub 604 located inside the differential housing 6, and a plurality of differential planet gears 605 meshing with the differential ring gear 603. The differential housing 6 is rotatably connected to the rear output shaft 3. The differential planet carrier 601 is relatively fixed to the differential housing 6. The differential ring gear 603 drives the rear output shaft 3 through the mating gear hub 604. The differential planet gears 605 mesh with the differential sun gear 602. A planet gear shaft rotatably mating with the differential planet carrier 601 is provided on the differential planet gears 605. A front side gear hub 6.1 and a rear side gear hub 6.2 are provided on the differential housing 6. The input sun gear hub 201.1, the input planet gear hub 203.1, the rear output gear hub 301, and the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing are all adapted to the high / low speed shift sleeve 401;

[0044] It further includes a differential shift sleeve 404, a differential shift fork 405, and a sprocket gear hub 501.1 capable of driving the driving sprocket 501 to rotate. The open end of the differential housing 6 faces the sprocket gear hub 501.1, and there is a separation gap 404a between the open end of the differential housing 6 and the sprocket gear hub 501.1. The rear side gear hub 6.2 of the housing and the sprocket gear hub 501.1 are both adapted to the differential shift sleeve 404.

[0045] Prior art supplement: The rear output shaft 3 and the power input shaft 2 are coaxially arranged. The input sun gear 201 is fixed on the power input shaft 2. The input sun gear hub 201.1 is fixed on the input sun gear 201. The input planet gear 202 meshes with the input sun gear hub 201.1. The input planet gear 202 meshes with the input ring gear 204. The input planet gear 202 is rotatably connected to the input planet carrier 203. The input planet gear hub 203.1 is fixed on the input planet gear 202. The rear output gear hub 301 is fixed on the rear output shaft 3. The high and low speed shift sleeve 401 is driven by the high and low speed shift fork 402. The high and low speed shift sleeve 401 is slidably connected to the shift guide shaft 403. The driving sprocket 501 is coaxially sleeved on the rear output shaft 3. The driving sprocket 501 is rotatably connected to the rear output shaft 3. The driven sprocket 502 is coaxially fixed on the front output shaft 5. The transmission chain 503 is closed at both ends and bypasses the driving sprocket 501 and the driven sprocket 502. The transmission chain 503 cooperates with the driving sprocket 501. The transmission chain 503 cooperates with the driven sprocket 502. The differential shift sleeve 404 is driven by the differential shift fork 405. The differential shift sleeve 404 is slidably connected to the shift guide shaft 403. The magnet block 101 is located at the inner bottom of the transfer case 1.

[0046] The oil pump can be various conventional oil pumps such as a rotor pump, a gear pump, a vane pump, etc. Setting an oil pump on a transmission and a transfer case also belongs to the prior art. When the internal structure of the transfer case 1 works, some iron filings will be generated due to long-term friction and impact. The lubricating oil can carry away the generated iron filings, and when the lubricating oil passes through the magnet block 101, the magnet block 101 can adsorb the iron filings, thereby reducing the influence of the iron filings on gear wear, bearing wear, wear of seal ring structures, etc. When shifting gears, the high and low speed shift fork can drive the high and low speed shift sleeve to move, and the differential shift fork can drive the differential shift sleeve to move.

[0047] When the present invention works, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, at this time the present invention is in the 2H gear (two-wheel drive high-speed gear). The high and low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high and low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the rear output gear hub 301, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket hub 501.1. The power transmission route is the power input shaft 2, the input sun gear 201, the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high and low speed shift sleeve 401, the rear output gear hub 301, and the rear output shaft 3. The 2H gear is relatively fuel-efficient.

[0048] After the present invention is switched from the 2H gear to the 4A gear (four-wheel drive high-speed torque automatic distribution gear), as Figure 2 、 Figure 9As shown, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket gear hub 501.1. The power transmission route is the power input shaft 2, the input sun gear 201, the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401, the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, the differential housing 6, the differential planet carrier 601, and each planet gear shaft (differential planet gear 605). After that, the power is divided into two paths. One path of power is transmitted from the differential planet gear 605 to the differential ring gear 603, and then from the differential ring gear 603 to the rear output shaft 3 through the mating gear hub 604. The other path of power is transmitted from the differential planet gear 605 to the differential sun gear 602, and then from the differential sun gear 602 to the front output shaft 5 through the driving sprocket 501, the drive chain 503, and the driven sprocket 502.

[0049] When the present invention is in the 4A gear, under normal driving conditions, there is no rotational speed difference between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, that is, there is no rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5, which is manifested as no relative rotation between the differential ring gear 603 and the differential sun gear 602. When the differential planet gear 605 moves with the differential planet carrier 601, it only makes a revolution around the axis of the rear output shaft 3, and the differential planet gear 605 itself does not rotate. When the vehicle turns (or the vehicle is in other conditions that cause the rotational speeds of the front and rear wheels to be inconsistent), the rotational speeds of the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are different, that is, there is a rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5. Since the rear output shaft 3 is linked with the mating gear hub 604 and the differential ring gear 603, and the front output shaft 5 is linked with the driven sprocket 502, the drive chain 503, the driving sprocket 501, and the differential sun gear 602, there will be a situation where the rotational speeds of the differential ring gear 603 and the differential sun gear 602 are inconsistent, and the differential planet gear 605 thus starts to rotate. In this way, the output torque ratio between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5 can be automatically distributed according to their rotational speeds.

[0050] After the present invention is switched from the 4A gear to the 4H gear (constant four-wheel drive high-speed torque ratio gear), as Figure 8 、 Figure 9As shown, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket hub 501.1. The power transmission route is the power input shaft 2, the input sun gear 201, the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401, the front side hub 6.1 of the housing, the differential housing 6. Then the power is divided into two paths. One path of power is transmitted from the differential housing 6 to the rear output shaft 3 through the differential planet carrier 601, each planet gear shaft (differential planet gear 605), and the differential ring gear 603. The other path of power is transmitted from the differential housing 6 to the front output shaft 5 through the rear side hub 6.2 of the housing, the differential shift fork 405, the link hub, the driving sprocket 501, the drive chain 503, and the driven sprocket 502.

[0051] When the present invention is in the 4H gear, there is no rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the differential housing 6, and there is no rotational speed difference between the front output shaft 5 and the differential housing 6. Therefore, the output torque ratio between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5 is constant.

[0052] After the present invention is switched from the 4H gear to the 4L gear (constant four-wheel drive low-speed torque ratio gear), as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input planet gear hub 203.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket hub 501.1. The power transmission route is the power input shaft 2, the input sun gear 201, the input planet gear 202, the input planet carrier 203, the input planet gear hub 203.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401, the front side hub 6.1 of the housing, the differential housing 6. Then the power is divided into two paths. One path of power is transmitted from the differential housing 6 to the rear output shaft 3 through the differential planet carrier 601, each planet gear shaft (differential planet gear 605), and the differential ring gear 603. The other path of power is transmitted from the differential housing 6 to the front output shaft 5 through the rear side hub 6.2 of the housing, the differential shift fork 405, the link hub, the driving sprocket 501, the drive chain 503, and the driven sprocket 502.

[0053] When the present invention is in the 4L gear, there is no rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the differential housing 6, and there is no rotational speed difference between the front output shaft 5 and the differential housing 6. Therefore, the output torque ratio between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5 is constant.

[0054] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, an oil pumping port 1a is provided at the bottom of the transfer case housing 1. A filter screen 102 is provided at the oil pumping port 1a, and a magnet block 101 is located beside the oil pumping port 1a. The liquid inlet end of the oil pump is connected to the oil pumping port 1a through a tubing. An inner shaft hole 2a is provided on the power input shaft 2. A shaft sleeve 302 that is rotationally and sealingly matched with the inner shaft hole 2a is sleeved on the rear output shaft 3. A bowl-shaped oil blocking plug piece 205 is provided in the inner shaft hole 2a. An oil inlet cavity 2b is jointly formed by the inner wall of the inner shaft hole 2a, the shaft sleeve 302, the outer side wall of the rear output shaft 3, and the bowl-shaped oil blocking plug piece 205. An axial oil passage 3a is connected to the oil inlet cavity 2b, and the liquid outlet end of the oil pump is connected to the oil inlet cavity 2b.

[0055] The shaft sleeve 302 is rotationally and sealingly matched with the inner shaft hole 2a through a plurality of oil blocking sealing rings provided on the shaft sleeve 302, and the oil blocking sealing rings are relatively fixed to the shaft sleeve 302. The lubricating oil at the inner bottom of the transfer case housing 1 reaches the oil inlet cavity 2b through the oil pumping port 1a (filter screen 102), the tubing, the liquid inlet end of the oil pump, and the liquid outlet end of the oil pump, and then can be supplied to the axial oil passage 3a. The magnet block 101 can adsorb the iron filings in the lubricating oil flowing near the magnet block 101. The magnet block 101 is arranged beside the oil pumping port 1a, which can better play the adsorption role (the lubricating oil will continuously flow through the oil pumping port 1a).

[0056] As Figure 1 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, it further includes a shift motor, a shift rotating shaft 406 driven by the shift motor, and a shift cam 407 provided on the shift rotating shaft 406. The high and low speed shift fork 402 includes a high and low speed fork head 402.1, and the differential shift fork 405 includes a differential fork head 405.1. The shift cam 407 is provided with a first circumferential flat groove 407.1, a first spiral inclined guide groove, a second circumferential flat groove 407.2, a second spiral inclined guide groove, and a third circumferential flat groove 407.3 that are adapted to and continuously arranged with the high and low speed fork head 402.1. The shift cam 407 is provided with a first flat contact end face 407a, a spiral inclined face 407b, and a second flat contact end face 407c that are adapted to and continuously arranged with the differential fork head 405.1. The differential shift gear sleeve 404 is always combined with the rear side gear hub 6.2 of the housing. A return spring 403.1 that presses the differential fork head 405.1 against the first flat contact end face 407a, the spiral inclined face 407b, or the second flat contact end face 407c is provided on the shift guide shaft 403;

[0057] When the high and low speed fork head 402.1 is in the first circumferential flat groove 407.1 and the differential fork head 405.1 is pressed against the first flat contact end face 407a: the high and low speed shift gear sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high and low speed shift gear sleeve 401 is combined with the rear output gear hub 301, and the differential shift gear sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket gear hub 501.1;

[0058] When the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is within the second circumferential flat groove 407.2 and the differential fork head 405.1 presses on the first flat contact end face 407a: The high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket gear hub 501.1;

[0059] When the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is within the second circumferential flat groove 407.2 and the differential fork head 405.1 presses on the second flat contact end face 407c: The high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket gear hub 501.1;

[0060] When the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is within the third circumferential flat groove 407.3 and the differential fork head 405.1 presses on the second flat contact end face 407c: The high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input planetary gear hub 203.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket gear hub 501.1.

[0061] The shift motor realizes "one machine with dual control" through the cooperation between the shift cam 407 and the high-low speed fork head 402.1 and the cooperation between the shift cam 407 and the differential fork head 405.1. That is, there is one shift motor shift cam 407, and the shift cam 407 can drive the high-low speed shift fork 402 (high-low speed fork head 402.1) and the differential shift fork 405 (differential fork head 405.1). Specific descriptions are as follows.

[0062] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, when the present invention is in the 2H gear (two-wheel drive high-speed gear), the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is within the first circumferential flat groove 407.1 and the differential fork head 405.1 presses on the first flat contact end face 407a. The high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the rear output gear hub 301, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket gear hub 501.1.

[0063] When the present invention is in the 2H gear, the shift cam 407 rotates by a certain angle, and the high-low speed fork head 402.1 reaches the second circumferential flat groove 407.2 after passing through the first spiral inclined guide groove (the high-low speed shift fork 402 moves a certain distance towards the sprocket gear hub 501.1). During the above process, the first flat contact end face 407a is always in contact with the differential fork head 405.1, so the differential fork head 405.1 will not be pushed. At this time, as Figure 2 、 Figure 9As shown in the figure, the present invention is in the 4A gear (four-wheel drive high-speed torque automatic distribution gear), the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket gear hub 501.1.

[0064] When the present invention is in the 4A gear, the shift cam 407 continues to rotate a certain angle, and the differential fork head 405.1 reaches the second flat contact end face 407c after passing through the spiral inclined plane 407b (the differential shift fork 405 moves a certain distance towards the sprocket gear hub 501.1). During the above process, the second flat contact end face 407c always contacts the high-low speed fork head, so the differential fork head 405.1 will not be pushed. At this time, as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 shown, the present invention is in the 4H gear (four-wheel drive high-speed torque ratio constant gear), the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is in the second circumferential flat groove 407.2 and the differential fork head 405.1 is pressed on the second flat contact end face 407c, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input sun gear hub 201.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket gear hub 501.1.

[0065] When the present invention is in the 4H gear, the shift cam 407 continues to rotate a certain angle, and the high-low speed fork head 402.1 reaches the third circumferential flat groove 407.3 after passing through the second spiral inclined guide groove (the high-low speed shift fork 402 moves a certain distance towards the sprocket gear hub 501.1). During the above process, the second flat contact end face 407c always contacts the differential fork head 405.1, so the differential fork head 405.1 will not be pushed. At this time, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 shown, the present invention is in the 4L gear (four-wheel drive low-speed torque ratio constant gear), the high-low speed fork head 402.1 is in the third circumferential flat groove 407.3 and the differential fork head 405.1 is pressed on the second flat contact end face 407c, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the input planet gear hub 203.1, the high-low speed shift sleeve 401 is combined with the front side gear hub 6.1 of the housing, and the differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket gear hub 501.1.

[0066] As Figure 1 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 shown, the output end of the shift motor drives the shift rotating shaft 406 through a torsion spring 408. The torsion spring 408 is sleeved on the shift rotating shaft 406. One end of the torsion spring 408 is relatively fixed to the output end of the shift motor, and the other end of the torsion spring 408 is relatively fixed to the shift rotating shaft 406.

[0067] After the shift motor drives the coil spring 408, the coil spring 408 can drive the shift cam 407 to rotate. If the high-low speed shift gear sleeve 401 or the differential shift gear sleeve 404 fails to directly engage with the target (input sun gear hub 201.1, rear output gear hub 301, sprocket gear hub 501.1, etc.), the coil spring 408 can maintain the power storage state until the high-low speed shift gear sleeve 401 or the differential shift gear sleeve 404 engages with the target. In this way, the shift motor can be protected to prevent the shift motor from getting stuck.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the driving sprocket 501, the shift shaft 406 and the driven sprocket 502 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the input sun gear hub 201.1, the rear output gear hub 301, the input planetary gear hub 203.1, the housing front gear hub 6.1, the housing rear gear hub 6.2, the sprocket gear hub 501.1 and the transmission chain 503 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the power input shaft 2.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the rear output shaft 3 is provided with a first needle bearing 303, a second needle bearing 304 and a terminal ball bearing 305, the first needle bearing 303 cooperates with the rear output shaft 3, the second needle bearing 304 cooperates with the rear output shaft 3, the terminal ball bearing 305 cooperates with the rear output shaft 3, the first needle bearing 303 cooperates with the driving sprocket 501, the second needle bearing 304 cooperates with the driving sprocket 501, the terminal ball bearing 305 cooperates with the transfer case 1, the number of the oil supply holes 3b is three, and the three oil supply holes 3b are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3, among the three oil supply holes 3b: the outlet of the oil supply hole 3b adjacent to the power input shaft 2 is toward the first needle bearing 303, the outlet of the oil supply hole 3b away from the power input shaft 2 is toward the terminal ball bearing 305, and the outlet of the remaining oil supply hole 3b is toward the second needle bearing 304.

[0070] The driving sprocket 501 has many functions to perform. For example, a sprocket hub 501.1 is provided thereon, and it is to cooperate with the differential planet carrier 601 (which can be through bearing cooperation), cooperate with the differential sun gear 602, etc. The first needle bearing 303 and the second needle bearing 304 are used to cooperate with the inner hole of the driving sprocket 501, which can ensure the stability of it and related structures during operation. The end ball bearing 305 can assist in ensuring the relative stability between the transfer case housing 1 and the rear output shaft 3. Three oil supply holes 3b are used to supply oil to the first needle bearing 303, the second needle bearing 304, and the end ball bearing 305, which can not only ensure the lubrication effect between the first needle bearing 303, the second needle bearing 304, the end ball bearing 305 and the structures cooperating with them, reduce the generation of metal chips, but also play the role of heat dissipation and temperature reduction to prevent local overheating. In addition, after the lubricating oil reaches the first needle bearing 303, the second needle bearing 304, or the end ball bearing 305, it will also flow out laterally along the outer wall of the rear output shaft 3 to lubricate and dissipate heat from other surrounding structures.

[0071] As Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the mating hub 604 includes a hub body 604.1 and a hub extension 604.2, the differential ring gear 603 includes a ring gear body 603.1 and a ring gear hub 603.2, the hub body 604.1 is slidably connected to the ring gear hub 603.2, the hub body 604.1 is slidably connected to the rear output shaft 3, the differential sun gear 602 is slidably connected to the driving sprocket 501, the planet gear shaft is slidably mated with the differential planet carrier 601, the differential ring gear 603 is a helical ring gear, the differential planet gear 605 is a helical gear, the differential sun gear 602 is a helical gear, the differential housing 6 is provided with a housing limit projection 6.3, the differential planet carrier 601 is provided with a planet carrier limit projection 601.1, the differential housing 6 is internally provided with a first clutch disc ring 606 sleeved on the housing limit projection 6.3, a second clutch disc ring 607 sleeved on the hub extension 604.2, a third clutch disc ring 608 sleeved on the driving sprocket 501, and a fourth clutch disc ring 609 sleeved outside the planet carrier limit projection 601.1. The differential housing has a housing friction surface 6a for contacting the first clutch disc ring 606. The housing friction surface 6a, the first clutch disc ring 606, the ring gear hub 603.2, the fourth clutch disc ring 609, the differential planet gear 605, and the third clutch disc ring 608 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3. The differential planet carrier 601 has a planet carrier friction surface 601a for contacting the third clutch disc ring 608. The housing friction surface 6a, the first clutch disc ring 606, the hub body 604.1, the second clutch disc ring 607, the differential sun gear 602, the third clutch disc ring 608, and the planet carrier friction surface 601a are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3.

[0072] As previously mentioned, when the present invention is in the 4A gear position, if there is no rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5, the differential planetary gear 605 itself will not rotate. Usually, there is a little clearance in the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3 for the first clutch disc ring 606, the second clutch disc ring 607, the third clutch disc ring 608, and the fourth clutch disc ring 609. If there is a rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5, the differential planetary gear 605 itself will rotate. When the differential planetary gear 605 starts to rotate, due to "the differential ring gear 603 is a helical ring gear, the differential planetary gear 605 is a helical gear, and the differential sun gear 602 is a helical gear", and "the hub body 604.1 is slidably connected to the ring gear hub 603.2, the hub body 604.1 is slidably connected to the rear output shaft 3, the differential sun gear 602 is slidably connected to the driving sprocket 501, and the planetary gear shaft is slidably engaged with the differential planet carrier 601", the differential ring gear 603, the differential planetary gear 605, and the differential sun gear 602 will inevitably be subjected to axial forces. Taking Figure 7 the perspective in

[0073] as an example, for instance, if the differential planetary gear 605 is subjected to an axial force to the left, then the differential planetary gear 605 will be pressed against and rubbed with the fourth clutch disc ring 609, and the differential planetary gear 605 will thus decelerate. Another example is that if the differential sun gear 602 is subjected to an axial force to the right, then the differential sun gear 602 will be pressed against and rubbed with the third clutch disc ring 608, and the differential sun gear 602 will thus decelerate. Yet another example is that if the differential ring gear 603 is subjected to an axial force to the left, then the ring gear hub 603.2 will be pressed against and rubbed with the first clutch disc ring 606, and the differential ring gear 603 will thus decelerate. The same applies to other situations. Therefore, when the differential planetary gear 605 rotates, one or more of the first clutch disc ring 606, the second clutch disc ring 607, the third clutch disc ring 608, and the fourth clutch disc ring 609 can play a role in frictional deceleration. That is, when there is a rotational speed difference between the rear output shaft 3 and the front output shaft 5 and the differential planetary gear 605 starts to rotate, the clutch disc rings will automatically perform frictional deceleration on the differential planetary gear 605, the differential ring gear 603, and the differential sun gear 602 (there is a meshing relationship among the differential planetary gear 605, the differential ring gear 603, and the differential sun gear 602. If one decelerates, the other two will also decelerate), thereby quickly reducing the rotational speed of the output shaft with a relatively higher speed, ensuring more reasonable utilization of the output torque (because the output shaft with a relatively higher speed is the slipping output shaft. If its rotational speed is not restricted, then the power or the output torque will be wasted on this slipping output shaft. However, if its rotational speed can be quickly reduced to make it as consistent as possible with the other output shaft, then more power or output torque can be ensured to be distributed to the non-slipping output shaft).

[0073] It should also be noted that the first clutch disc ring is sleeved on the outer housing limit protrusion, but the first clutch disc ring and the outer housing limit protrusion do not have to be rotationally engaged. As long as it is "sleeved on the outside", that is, there is an allowable clearance (play) between the first clutch disc ring and the outer housing limit protrusion. Similarly, there is an allowable play between the second clutch disc ring and the tooth hub extension section, between the third clutch disc ring and the driving sprocket, and between the fourth clutch disc ring and the planetary carrier limit protrusion.

[0074] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, as Figure 15 、 Figure 16 shown,

[0075] The differential housing 6 and the rear output shaft 3 are rotationally connected through a housing needle bearing 6.4. The differential planetary carrier 601 and the driving sprocket 501 are rotationally connected through a planetary carrier needle bearing 6.5. The rear output shaft 3 includes a reduced diameter shaft neck section 3.1. The first needle bearing 303, the second needle bearing 304, the outer side wall of the reduced diameter shaft neck section 3.1 and the inner side wall of the driving sprocket 501 jointly enclose an oil storage chamber 3c. A large oil supply hole 3d communicating with the shaft oil passage 3a is provided on the power input shaft 2. The large oil supply hole communicates with the oil storage chamber 3c. The tooth hub 501.1 of the sprocket is provided with a main oil passage 501.1a inside the tooth hub, a number of tooth hub oil inlet passages 501.1b communicating with the main oil passage 501.1a inside the tooth hub, and a plurality of tooth hub oil injection holes 501.1c evenly distributed along the circumference of the tooth hub 501.1 of the sprocket. The tooth hub oil injection holes 501.1c communicate with the main oil passage 501.1a inside the tooth hub. The driving sprocket 501 is provided with a number of sprocket oil passages 501a corresponding one-to-one to the tooth hub oil inlet passages 501.1b and used to communicate with the corresponding tooth hub oil inlet passages 501.1b. The sprocket oil passages 501a communicate with the oil storage chamber 3c. The space between the differential ring gear 603 and the differential sun gear 602 is a planetary ring passage 603a. The oil outlet end of the tooth hub oil injection hole 501.1c faces the planetary ring passage 603a.

[0076] The tooth hub 501.1 of the sprocket is slidably connected to the driving sprocket 501. The driving sprocket 501 is provided with a front stop body 501.2 for limiting the tooth hub 501.1, a number of rear stop blocks 501.3 for limiting the tooth hub 501.1, and a tooth hub spring 501.4 for pressing the tooth hub 501.1 against the front stop body 501.2. The tooth hub 501.1 of the sprocket is provided with a tooth hub ring 501.5 that can be pushed by the differential shift sleeve 404;

[0077] When the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the tooth hub 501.1 of the sprocket: The tooth hub 501.1 contacts the front stop body 501.2. The differential shift fork 405, the front stop body 501.2, the tooth hub ring 501.5, and the rear stop blocks 501.3 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3. The tooth hub oil inlet passages 501.1b are aligned and communicated with the corresponding sprocket oil passages 501a;

[0078] When the differential shift sleeve 404 abuts against the hub ring 501.5 and the sprocket hub 501.1 contacts the stop block 501.3: The differential shift sleeve 404 is combined with the sprocket hub 501.1. One end of the hub oil inlet passage 501.1b adjacent to the driving sprocket 501 is blocked by the driving sprocket 501, and one end of the sprocket oil passage 501a adjacent to the sprocket hub 501.1 is blocked by the sprocket hub 501.1.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the present invention is in the 2H gear, 4H gear or 4L gear, the differential shift fork 405 is combined with the sprocket hub 501.1. At this time, the differential planet gear 605 does not rotate by itself. Therefore, the frictional force between the differential planet gear 605 and the differential sun gear 602 is small (even none), the wear is very small, and the heat generation is very little. The frictional force between the differential planet gear 605 and the differential ring gear 603 is small (even none), the wear is very small, and the heat generation is very little. At this time, almost no lubrication is required inside the differential housing 6. The lubricating oil lifted upward by the moving structures (such as the driven sprocket 502, the shift cam 407, the lower part of the transmission chain 503, etc.) below the transmission housing is sufficient to lubricate the upper structures inside the differential housing 6.

[0080] When the present invention is in the 2H gear, 4H gear or 4L gear, the differential shift sleeve 404 abuts against the hub ring 501.5 and the sprocket hub 501.1 contacts the stop block 501.3. One end of the hub oil inlet passage 501.1b adjacent to the driving sprocket 501 is blocked by the driving sprocket 501, and one end of the sprocket oil passage 501a adjacent to the sprocket hub 501.1 is blocked by the sprocket hub 501.1. After the lubricating oil sucked by the oil pump enters the shaft oil passage 3a, there are two directions. One direction of the lubricating oil is to supply oil to the first needle roller bearing 303, the second needle roller bearing 304 and the end ball bearing 305 through three oil supply holes 3b, which can not only ensure the lubrication effect between the first needle roller bearing 303, the second needle roller bearing 304, the end ball bearing 305 and the structures cooperating with them, reduce the generation of metal chips, but also play the role of heat dissipation and temperature reduction to prevent local overheating. In addition, after the lubricating oil reaches the first needle roller bearing 303, the second needle roller bearing 304 or the end ball bearing 305, it will also flow out laterally along the outer wall of the rear output shaft 3 to lubricate and dissipate heat for other surrounding structures; Another direction of the lubricating oil is to enter the oil storage cavity 3c through the large oil supply hole 3d, then enter the gap between the sprocket hub 501.1 and the driving sprocket 501 through the sprocket oil passage 501a, and then flow out laterally along the outer wall of the driving sprocket 501 to lubricate and dissipate heat for other surrounding structures.

[0081] When the present invention is in the 4A gear position, the differential planetary gear 605 rotates frequently, and the first clutch disc ring 606, the second clutch disc ring 607, the third clutch disc ring 608, and the fourth clutch disc ring 609 also frequently play a frictional role. Therefore, the heat generated inside the differential housing 6 is very large (overheating of gears and clutch discs can easily lead to functional attenuation or even rapid damage), and relatively more iron filings are generated (there are many gears inside the differential housing 6, and it is particularly afraid of a large amount of iron filings because iron filings can easily damage the surfaces of gears and clutch discs). When the present invention is in the 4A gear position, the differential shift sleeve 404 is separated from the sprocket hub 501.1, and the sprocket hub 501.1 contacts the front stop body 501.2. The differential shift fork 405, the front stop body 501.2, the hub ring 501.5, and the rear stop block 501.3 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rear output shaft 3. The hub oil inlet passage 501.1b is aligned and communicated with the corresponding sprocket oil passage 501a. After the lubricating oil sucked by the oil pump enters the shaft oil passage 3a, a large amount of it will enter the oil storage chamber 3c through the large oil supply hole 3d, then enter the main oil passage 501.1a inside the hub through the sprocket oil passage 501a and the hub oil inlet passage 501.1b, and then rush into the planetary ring passage 603a at a relatively high flow rate through each hub oil flushing hole 501.1c. After passing through the planetary ring passage 603a, it rushes into the differential housing 6. In this way, not only can the lubrication effect on the moving structures inside the differential housing 6 be greatly enhanced and the heat dissipation effect on the inside of the differential housing 6 be significantly improved, but also the generated iron filings can be washed away in time. The iron filings will leave the inside of the differential housing 6 along with the lubricating oil through the planetary ring passage 603a and the separation gap 404a (at this time, it is exactly the state where the differential shift sleeve 404 does not block the separation gap 404a) and fall to the bottom inside the transmission housing. Since the lubricating oil in the shaft oil passage 3a will be quickly and abundantly supplied to the oil storage chamber 3c at this time, the oil pumping efficiency at the oil pumping port 1a is greatly increased (the flow rate per unit time is greatly increased), which is more conducive to the falling lubricating oil passing through the oil pumping port 1a. Before flowing through the oil pumping port 1a, since the magnet block 101 is beside the oil pumping port 1a, the iron filings in the lubricating oil can be adsorbed more efficiently and quickly.

[0082] Two more points need to be explained:

[0083] First, since "the first needle roller bearing 303, the second needle roller bearing 304, the outer side wall of the shrinkage shaft neck section 3.1, and the inner side wall of the driving sprocket 501 jointly enclose an oil storage chamber 3c", a small part of the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 3c will also be directly supplied to the first needle roller bearing 303 and the second needle roller bearing 304 (the needle roller bearings themselves are not fully sealed parts). Compared with the situation where there is only the oil supply small hole 3b, the lubrication and cooling effects on the first needle roller bearing 303 and the second needle roller bearing 304 can be improved.

[0084] Second, when the present invention is in the 2H gear, 4H gear or 4L gear, the amount of oil entering the gap between the sprocket hub 501.1 and the driving sprocket 501 from the sprocket oil passage 501a will not be too large (the back pressure is relatively large, so the oil pumping efficiency of the oil pump is relatively low. As a result, there is more oil at the lower part of the transmission, which is more conducive to the movement structure at the lower part of the transmission housing to stir and lift up the lubricating oil), and at this time, the separation gap 404a is blocked by the differential shift sleeve 404 (but not sealed), and the lifted lubricating oil will not easily enter the differential housing 6 (the lubricating effect will not be wasted, and iron filings will not enter the differential housing 6. At this time, the lifted lubricating oil can go to other structures that require lubrication and heat dissipation more, or quickly fall, which is more conducive to the movement structure at the lower part of the transmission housing to lift up the lubricating oil).

[0085] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil rushes into the planetary ring passage 603a at a relatively high flow rate through each hub oil injection hole 501.1c (the liquid flow rushes into the planetary ring passage 603a), and after passing through the planetary ring passage 603a, it rushes into the differential housing 6. The differential planet carrier 601 has a certain interference with the liquid flow. It can be designed as "the differential planet carrier 601 includes a planet carrier base cooperating with the planet carrier needle bearing 6.5 and three arm rods corresponding to the planetary gear shafts one by one, and the planetary gear shafts are rotationally matched with the corresponding arm rods". In this way, the blockage of the liquid flow can be minimized (only the arm rods will affect the liquid flow), ensuring a high efficiency of the liquid flow rushing into the differential housing 6, and further improving the lubrication, cooling and heat dissipation, and iron filings removal effects inside the differential housing 6.

[0086] The embodiments of the present invention have been introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principles and implementation manners of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
