[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the utility model more clear, the technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of the specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with the technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions that the utility model can be implemented, so they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect that the utility model can produce and the purpose that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the utility model. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantial change of the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a three-speed shift assembly, including a fork shaft 100 and a shift plate 200, wherein the fork shaft 100 is provided with a plurality of shift forks 300 slidably connected along its axial direction; the shift plate 200 is provided with a plurality of strip grooves 210, and the shift forks 300 are slidably connected in the strip grooves 210, so as to drive the shift forks 300 to slide axially along the fork shaft 100 through the shift plate 200, and drive the shift forks 300 to push the synchronizer to slide axially.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, by setting a strip groove 210 on the shift plate 200, under the action of manual or automatic external force, the shift plate 200 is rotated in the horizontal direction so that the strip groove 210 drives the shift fork 300 to move to achieve shifting, thereby making the overall structure compact, reducing space occupancy, and avoiding excessive axial activity distance caused by driving the shift fork 300 in an axial spacing manner.

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the shift plate 200 is provided with two strip-shaped grooves 210; the shift fork shaft 100 is provided with two shift forks 300, which are staggered and slidably connected in a strip-shaped groove 210 one by one, wherein the two strip-shaped grooves 210 have different shapes to achieve different moving distances, and the staggered shift forks 300 can balance the distribution of force, reduce the unbalanced force on the shift fork shaft 100, reduce vibration and noise, improve the stability and reliability of the transmission system, and at the same time achieve smoother and more stable shifting action, and reduce the occurrence of misoperation and gear shifting.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the shift plate 200 rotates in the horizontal direction, the shift fork 300 can move axially along the shift fork shaft 100 under the action of the strip groove 210, so as to drive the shift fork 300 to move in the same direction with it, so that the shift fork 300 can push the synchronizer's gear sleeve to move in the same direction, thereby combining with the corresponding gear ring on the transmission gear set to achieve the purpose of fast shifting, while reducing the transmission gap therebetween, which can make the shifting smoother.

[0036] In this embodiment, by providing two strip grooves 210 and two shift forks 300, it is possible to transform the three gear positions of normal, boost and acceleration. Specifically, each strip groove 210 has three shift nodes, which correspond to the three gear positions of normal, boost and acceleration respectively. When the shift plate 200 is rotated in the horizontal direction (i.e., rotated within the angle range corresponding to the shift interval), the shift fork 300 will move axially along the shift fork shaft 100 under the action of the strip groove 210, and be located at a shift node, while driving the synchronizer to move to complete the gear shifting work.

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, in order to make the fork shaft 100 slide more smoothly and reduce vibration and noise, the fork 300 includes a cylindrical head 310, and the head 310 is slidably connected in the strip groove 210. At the same time, when the cylindrical head 310 slides in the groove, the pressure can be more evenly distributed on the contact surface, reducing the possibility of local stress concentration, reducing the wear of the contact surface, extending the service life of the components, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0038] like Figure 1-2As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, in order to install the fork 300 on the fork shaft 100, the fork 300 is slidably arranged on the fork shaft 100 through the sleeve 320, and the head 310 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 320 to form a whole, so that when the head 310 moves, the fork 300 also moves axially on the fork shaft 100.

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a shift lever 400 for driving the shift plate 200 to rotate in the horizontal direction is further provided on one side of the shift plate 200, so that the shift plate 200 is rotated by the shift lever 400, and the shift fork 300 is driven to slide axially along the shift fork shaft 100; when shifting is required, the shift plate 200 is rotated in its circumferential direction by rotating the shift lever 400 to achieve angle change for shifting.

[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a straight slot 220 is opened through the shift plate 200, and one end of the shift lever 400 is clamped in the straight slot 220 to facilitate the installation and removal of the shift lever 400. At the same time, in order to facilitate the rotation of the shift lever 400, a shift plate 500 is provided on the shift lever 400.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the shift lever 400 is provided with a shift block 600, and a plurality of shift slots 610 are formed on the shift block 600. A stopper 700 for limiting the rotation of the shift block 600 is also provided on one side of the shift block 600. One end of the stopper 700 is elastically pressed in a shift slot 610. In the embodiment, there are three shift slots 610, which correspond to the three gears of normal, boost and acceleration respectively, and each shift slot 610 corresponds to 35 degrees.

[0042] When shifting gears, under the action of manual or automatic external force, the shift block 600 rotates with the rotation of the shift plate 500 under the action of the shift lever 400, and the shift block 600 will slide relative to the limit member 700. The limit member 700 can slide into the previous or next gear slot 610 to shift gears, and at the same time, it can also prevent the shift plate 500 from changing gears when it is accidentally hit by external force. In addition, in order to facilitate the return of the shift plate 500, the limit member 700 is driven by a spring to make it close to or away from the gear slot 610, giving the shift block 600 a certain clamping force limit, thereby preventing the shift lever 400 from rotating at will and ensuring the accurate position of the gear slot 610.

[0043] A rear-mounted gearbox is also provided in this embodiment, wherein the rear-mounted gearbox includes the above-mentioned three-speed shift assembly. Since all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments are adopted in this embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, and thus they are not described one by one here.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
