[0028] As a further explanation of this embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 1 The first-gear piston 10 includes a piston component 19 located at the rear and a piston component 20 located at the front. The outer diameter of the piston component 19 is larger than the outer diameter of the piston component 20.

[0030] As a further explanation of this embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 1 The first elastic component 13 and the second elastic component 18 are both installed on the inner side of the box body 1, and an end cover 27 is provided on the rear side of the box body 1. The front part of the first elastic component 13 is connected to the first-gear piston 10, the front part of the second elastic component 18 is connected to the second support block 22, and the rear parts of the first elastic component 13 and the second elastic component 18 are both connected to the end cover 27. Preferably, the first elastic component 13 and the second elastic component 18 are both disc springs.

[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0032] When neither the first-gear oil passage 12 nor the second-gear oil passage 15 flows with oil, the first elastic component 13 pushes the first-gear piston 10 forward, and the first-gear piston 10 pushes the first-gear clutch 6 forward to engage, and the housing 1 and the ring gear 3 are locked; at the same time, the second elastic component 18 pushes the second support block 22 forward, and the second support block 22 pushes the second-gear piston 23 forward, and the second-gear piston 23 pushes the second-gear clutch 7 forward to engage, and the sun gear 2 and the ring gear 3 are locked, so that the entire planetary gear is locked with the housing 1 and is in a braking state.

[0033] When the first gear oil passage 12 is filled with oil and the second gear oil passage 15 is not filled with oil, the first gear clutch 6 is engaged by pushing the first gear piston 10 forward, so that the ring gear 3 and the housing 1 are locked, and the first gear piston 10 pushes the second support block 22 backward. Since the return spring 17 is compressed by the second support block 22 in the braking state, the second support block 22 moves backward. The elastic potential energy accumulated in the return spring 17 causes the second gear piston 23 to move backward, and the second gear clutch 7 is released. The sun gear 2 can rotate relative to the ring gear 3, and drive the planetary gear 4 to rotate, and the planetary carrier 5 is output, which is in the 1st gear deceleration state.

[0034] When the second gear oil passage 15 is filled with oil and the first gear oil passage 12 is not filled with oil, the first gear clutch 6 is released by pushing the first gear piston 10 backward, and the ring gear 3 can rotate relative to the housing 1; at the same time, the second elastic component 18 pushes the second gear piston 23 forward by pushing the second support block 22, so that the second gear clutch 7 is locked, the sun gear 2 and the ring gear 3 are locked synchronously, and the planetary carrier 5 is driven to output through the planetary gear 4. The output speed of the planetary gear 4 is equal to the input speed of the sun gear 2, and it is in the second gear state.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
