[0013] The right end of the de-shifting lever 10 of the present invention is provided with a rotating handle 24, and the rotating handle 24 is fixedly connected to the de-shifting lever 10 to facilitate the rotation of the de-shifting lever.

[0014] When the present invention is used, the fixed housing 15 is fixed on the frame of the loader, and the gear ring 16 is connected to the wheel. Figure 1 During normal travel, the brake transmission shaft drives the first connecting shaft 6 to rotate, the first connecting shaft 6 drives the second connecting shaft 8 to rotate through the coupling sleeve 7, the second connecting shaft 8 drives the secondary planetary gear 22 to rotate, the secondary planetary gear 22 drives the ring gear 16 to rotate, at the same time, the secondary planetary gear 22 drives the sun gear 3 to rotate, the sun gear 3 drives the primary planetary gear 21 to rotate, the primary planetary gear 21 drives the ring gear to rotate, and the ring gear drives the wheels to rotate, so that the loader can travel normally. When the loader fails to move, Figure 2, manually turn the rotating handle 24 to make the disengaging screw 12 move left, and the left end of the disengaging screw 12 pushes the disengaging rod 10 to move axially to the left, and the disengaging rod 10 pushes the coupling sleeve 7 to squeeze the spring 9 to move axially to the left, until the left end of the coupling sleeve 7 abuts against the right end of the inner wall of the first connecting groove 17 of the first connecting shaft 6. At this time, the coupling sleeve 7 can no longer move to the left, and the second sliding groove at the right end of the coupling sleeve 7 is disengaged from the second sliding block on the second connecting shaft 8. Rotate the locking nut 14, and the locking nut 14 abuts against the screw support 11 to lock the position of the disengaging screw 12. At this time, the inner wall of the second connecting groove 20 at the right end of the coupling sleeve 7 and the outer wall of the left end of the second connecting shaft can rotate circumferentially, and the coupling sleeve 7 cannot drive the second connecting shaft 8 to rotate. The coupling sleeve 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 are disengaged and disconnected, that is, the first connecting shaft 6 rotates and cannot drive the second connecting shaft 8 to rotate. The second connecting shaft 8 is in a free state, the planetary gear is in a free state, and the ring gear 16 drives the wheel to be in a free state, which can be directly dragged to quickly evacuate the loader from the scene. When it is necessary to restore the transmission between the first connecting shaft 6 and the second connecting shaft 8, the rotating handle 24 is rotated in the opposite direction, the disengaging screw 12 moves axially to the right, and the disengaging rod 10 moves axially to the right under the action of the rebound force of the spring 9, and the second sliding groove of the coupling sleeve 7 cooperates with the second sliding block of the second connecting shaft 8 through the guide section. The second connecting shaft 8 of the coupling sleeve 7 is slidably connected through the second sliding block and the second sliding groove. After the position is suitable, the rotating handle 24 is stopped, and the locking nut 14 is rotated. The locking nut 14 abuts against the screw support 11 to lock the position of the disengaging screw 12. The retaining ring 13 can prevent the disengaging screw 12 from sliding out of the screw support 11. The structure of the present invention is ingenious, and solves the problem in the prior art that when the loader fails and cannot walk by itself, if the whole vehicle has no electricity, the parking brake cannot be released. The present invention directly disengages the first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft inside the reducer, so that the wheels are in a free rotation state, which is convenient for the loader to evacuate quickly, easy to operate, and efficient.

[0015] The present invention has the advantages of novel structure, rapid release of brakes, rapid evacuation of the loader, convenient operation, safety and high efficiency, etc. due to the adoption of the above structure.
