[0002] As the production of pure electric vehicles continues to increase, the reliability of pure electric vehicles is also receiving more and more attention. Since the shifting of new energy transmissions is controlled by TCU, not manual transmissions, once the control command is wrong, there is a possibility of shifting into double gear.
[0003] To resolve this issue, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The traditional solution is to reserve interlocking grooves on the upper cover or the transmission housing, and to achieve interlocking between the various fork shafts by installing steel balls and springs; interlocking slots are processed on the transmission housing, and interlocking is achieved by adding self-locking steel balls and interlocking limit pins. The sizes of the first steel ball and the second steel ball are not completely consistent, and the sizes of the first interlocking limit pin and the second interlocking limit pin are inconsistent. There is a possibility of misassembly during the assembly process in the workshop: if the first steel ball and the second steel ball are installed incorrectly, there is a possibility that the transmission will be engaged in two gears (i.e., double gear) in the case of overshoot in the gear shifting operation. At this time, the transmission is at risk of serious damage and there is a safety hazard. The interlocking between the various fork shafts is achieved by installing steel balls and springs. This solution has some problems: 1. There is a possibility of misassembly of steel balls and springs; 2. There is a problem with the service life of the springs. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the fork frame is provided with a first fork shaft hole and a second fork shaft hole, and the first fork shaft hole and the second fork shaft hole respectively fix the first fork shaft and the second fork shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the inner diameter of the first shift fork shaft hole is the same as the shaft diameter of the first shift fork shaft.
