It toggles the intermediate transmission gear to change the input / output speed ratio. The shift fork is mainly used for the clutch, and in an automobile, a separating fork is also required to control the release bearing on the automotive transmission for speed regulation. For example, the utility model patent with the publication number CN221097419U discloses a separating fork for a forklift transmission, which includes an arc-shaped fork body, a fork body part, and a fork head part. The fork body part includes a connecting sleeve, a fulcrum block, and a docking head.
