Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical devices, in particular to an automobile shift fork. Background Art

[0002] The car shift fork is an important part of the gearbox for shifting. The shift fork is connected to the gear lever. When the driver manipulates the gear lever, the shift fork will move, thereby changing the position of the gear to achieve the switch between different gears. By turning the middle gear wheel or other related gears, the shift fork changes the speed ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft to adapt to different driving conditions. In the forward gear, the shift fork acts on the synchronizer ring to achieve the engagement and separation of each forward gear. In the reverse gear, since the reverse gear usually has no synchronizer, the shift fork directly acts on the reverse gear to achieve the gear engagement.

[0003] The publication number is: CN106286820A, which discloses a reverse gear fork for an automobile. It belongs to the field of transmission parts design technology, including a shift fork and a shift fork shaft hole. The outer contour of the shift fork is arc-shaped, and its interior is also arc-shaped. The lower part is designed to be two parallel side surfaces on the left and right. The top of the shift fork is processed with a shift fork shaft hole, which is sleeved on the shift fork shaft. The shift fork can rotate around the shift fork shaft. When the automobile is switched to reverse gear, the shift fork is sleeved into the two end surfaces of the gear. The position of the gear can be changed by rotating the shift fork, so that the reverse gears are meshed with each other to achieve reverse gear. The reverse gear fork for an automobile disclosed in the present invention has good strength and installation stability of the shift fork, is convenient to take out molds, saves labor, has low processing cost, can meet transmission requirements, and is not easy to cause gear damage when shifting gears. The automobile shift fork pin, as an important connecting part with other components, has the problems of severe wear and large loss. After wear, the entire automobile shift fork needs to be replaced, and the replacement cost is high. Therefore, this technology still has a certain room for modification. Summary of the invention
