[0005] The planetary gear speed change mechanism comprises a sun gear, a plurality of planetary gears, a planet carrier, a ring gear and a speed change actuator.

[0006] The transmission gear is a helical gear or a herringbone gear.

[0007] Annular retaining rings are arranged on both sides of the fixed gear.

[0008] The technical (working) principle of the present invention is: starting the driving device, the input shaft transmits the rotational speed and torque, the planetary gear speed change mechanism is used to realize stepless speed change, the speed change shaft outputs the changed rotational speed and torque, which are transmitted to the transmission shaft by the transmission gear set, the shift fork is controlled by the shift mechanism to realize the axial movement of the sliding gear, the meshing state of the gear set is changed to realize high gear and low gear, and stepless speed regulation can be realized in different gears.
