[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 8 A gearbox structure for directional rotation includes a gearbox seat 1, an input shaft 2, an output shaft 3 and a gear shaft 4 are arranged on the gearbox seat 1, a power gear 5 is arranged on the input shaft 2, a first transmission gear 6 and a first ratchet mechanism 7 meshing with the power gear 5 are arranged on the output shaft 3, a second transmission gear 8 meshing with the power gear 5 and a second ratchet mechanism 9 meshing with the first transmission gear 6 are arranged on the gear shaft 4, the rotation directions of the first ratchet mechanism 7 and the second ratchet mechanism 9 are completely opposite, and the ratchet mechanisms of opposite rotation directions make one of them in a stopped working state and the other in a slipping non-working state during the input transmission process to ensure the directional output of the output shaft 3, when the input shaft 2 is clockwise input, if it meshes with the power gear 5 The first ratchet mechanism 7 is engaged to stop the rotation, that is, the output shaft 3 directly outputs counterclockwise. When the input shaft 2 is counterclockwise input, the first ratchet mechanism 7 meshing with the power gear 5 is in a non-working state of slipping, and the second transmission gear 8 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates clockwise, directly driving the second ratchet mechanism 9 to a clockwise non-rotating working state. Since the second ratchet mechanism 9 is meshed with the first transmission gear 6 for transmission, the first transmission gear 6 will be controlled to rotate counterclockwise to achieve indirect counterclockwise output of the output shaft 3. In other words, no matter whether the input end is clockwise or counterclockwise, the output direction of the output end can be all clockwise or all counterclockwise. The key lies in the cooperation of the two ratchet mechanisms with different rotation directions, which fully meets the use requirements of directional transmission output. The structure is simple, easy to install, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and the cost of a pure mechanical transmission gearbox is greatly reduced compared to a private service control structure.

[0027] The first ratchet mechanism 7 is a left-handed ratchet mechanism 7a, which includes a left-handed ratchet 7a1 and a left-handed pawl 7a2 that cooperate with each other. The left-handed ratchet 7a1 is clearance-fitted with the output shaft 3, and the left-handed pawl 7a2 and the first transmission gear 6 are interference-fitted with the output shaft 3.

[0028] The second ratchet mechanism 9 is a right-handed ratchet mechanism 9b, which includes a right-handed ratchet 9b1 and a right-handed pawl 9b2 that cooperate with each other. The right-handed ratchet 9b1 is clearance-fitted with the gear shaft 4, and the right-handed pawl 9b2 and the second transmission gear 8 are both interference-fitted with the gear shaft 4.

[0029] Example 1: The above is an implementation method of always maintaining clockwise output

[0030] Specifically: when the input shaft 2 drives the power gear 5 to rotate clockwise, since the power gear 5 and the second transmission gear 8 are in a meshing state, the gear shaft 4 and the right-handed pawl 9b2 are forced to rotate counterclockwise; since the right-handed pawl 9b2 rotates counterclockwise, it and the right-handed ratchet 9b1 are in a stopped working state, thereby forcing the right-handed ratchet 8 to rotate counterclockwise together, and due to the meshing action, the first transmission gear 6 is also driven to rotate clockwise. Since the first transmission gear 6 and the output shaft 3 are interference fit, this action indirectly realizes the clockwise rotation of the output shaft 3; when the input shaft 2 drives the power gear 5 to rotate clockwise, the left-handed ratchet 7a1 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates counterclockwise, and at this time the left-handed ratchet 7a1 and the left-handed pawl 7a2 are in a slipping and non-working state. Since the left-handed ratchet 7a1 and the output shaft 3 are in a clearance fit, they do not interfere with any movement of the output transmission shaft. At this point, the movements of all components with a clockwise input direction are completed.

[0031] When the input shaft 2 drives the power gear 5 to rotate counterclockwise, the left-handed ratchet 7a1 meshed with the power gear 5 rotates clockwise, and at this time the left-handed ratchet 7a1 and the left-handed pawl 7a2 are in a non-rotating working state, so the left-handed pawl 7a2 drives the output shaft 3 and the first transmission gear 6 to rotate clockwise together, and this action directly realizes the clockwise rotation of the output shaft 3; the first transmission gear 6 rotates clockwise and drives the right-handed ratchet 9b1 meshed with it to rotate counterclockwise together. Since the right-handed ratchet 9b1 and the right-handed pawl 9b2 are in a non-working state when rotating counterclockwise, they do not interfere with any action of the right-handed pawl 9b2 and its related parts; when the input shaft 1 drives the power gear 5 to rotate counterclockwise, the second transmission gear 8 meshed with it will drive the gear shaft 4 and the right-handed pawl 9b2 to rotate clockwise together. Since the right-handed ratchet 9b1 and the right-handed pawl 9b2 are in a slipping motion at this time, their corresponding actions are invalid and do not affect any action of the output shaft 3.

[0032] The first ratchet mechanism 7 is a right-handed ratchet mechanism 7A, which includes a right-handed ratchet 7A1 and a right-handed pawl 7A2 that cooperate with each other. The right-handed ratchet 7A1 is clearance-fitted with the output shaft 3, and the right-handed pawl 7A2 and the first transmission gear 6 are interference-fitted with the output shaft 3.

[0033] The second ratchet mechanism 9 is a left-handed ratchet mechanism 9B, which includes a left-handed ratchet 9B1 and a left-handed pawl 9B2 that cooperate with each other. The left-handed ratchet 9B1 is clearance-fitted with the gear shaft 4, and the left-handed pawl 9B2 and the second transmission gear 8 are both interference-fitted with the gear shaft 4.

[0034] Embodiment 2: The above is an implementation method of always maintaining counterclockwise output

[0035] Specifically: when the input shaft 2 drives the power gear 5 to rotate clockwise, the right-handed ratchet 7A1 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates counterclockwise, and at this time the right-handed ratchet 7A1 and the right-handed ratchet pawl 7A2 are in a stopped working state, thereby driving the output shaft 4 and the first transmission gear 6 to rotate counterclockwise, and this action directly realizes the counterclockwise rotation of the output shaft 3; since the first transmission gear 6 is meshed with the left-handed ratchet 9B1, the left-handed ratchet 9B1 rotates clockwise, and at this time the left-handed ratchet 9B1 and the left-handed ratchet 9B2 are in a slipping and non-working state, and thus do not interfere with any movement of the gear shaft 4, and the second transmission gear 8 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates counterclockwise, and the gear shaft 4 and the left-handed ratchet 9B2 rotate counterclockwise together with the second transmission gear 8, and the left-handed ratchet 9B1 and the left-handed ratchet pawl 9B2 do not affect each other, and at this point, the movements of all components with a clockwise input direction are all completed.

[0036] When the input shaft 2 drives the power gear 5 to rotate counterclockwise, the right-handed ratchet 7A1 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates clockwise, and at this time the right-handed ratchet 7A1 and the right-handed ratchet pawl 7A2 slip and are in a non-working state. Since the right-handed ratchet 7A1 and the output shaft 3 are in clearance fit, they do not interfere with any movement of the output shaft 3, and the second transmission gear 8 meshing with the power gear 5 rotates clockwise, and the gear shaft 4 and the left-handed ratchet pawl 9B2 rotate clockwise with the second transmission gear 8. At this time, the left-handed ratchet 9B1 and the left-handed ratchet pawl 9B2 are in a stopped working state. Since the left-handed ratchet 9B1 is meshed and transmitted with the first transmission gear 6, the first transmission gear 6 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, thereby indirectly realizing the counterclockwise rotation of the output shaft 3.

[0037] Specifically: the ratchet mechanism can also be Figure 8 In the form of expression shown, the same technical effect can be achieved by replacing the ratchet and pawl mechanism of the above embodiment with different ratchet wheels 100 and pawls 101.

[0038] The gear box seat 1 is provided with three groups of installation positioning holes 11 correspondingly at the front and rear, and the installation positioning holes 11 ensure the stable assembly of the input shaft 2, the output shaft 3 and the gear shaft 4.

[0039] A partition plate 12 for abutting against the power gear 5 is provided on one side of the gear box seat 1 , and the partition plate 12 ensures the stability of the transmission of the power gear 5 .

[0040] An output gear 31 is disposed at the end of the output shaft 3 .
