[0031] The first collecting tank 1 is provided on the inner wall of the transfer case, corresponding to the input shaft gear; the second collecting tank 2 is provided on the inner wall of the transfer case, corresponding to the intermediate shaft gear; the third collecting tank 3 is provided on the inner wall of the transfer case, corresponding to the output shaft gear; the internal liquid channel includes an input liquid channel 401, an intermediate liquid channel 402 and an output liquid channel 403; one end of the input liquid channel 401 is connected to the liquid outlet 8, and the other end is connected to the first collecting tank 1; one end of the intermediate liquid channel 402 is connected to the first collecting tank 1, and the other end is connected to the second collecting tank 2; one end of the output liquid channel 403 is connected to the second collecting tank 2, and the other end is connected to the third collecting tank 3; the storage chamber 12 is provided at the bottom of the transfer case, and is connected to the third collecting tank 3;

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the lubricating liquid cooling mechanism includes a first cooling pipeline 501, a second cooling pipeline 502 and a cold row 503, the lubricating liquid driving device 14 is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet 8, the liquid inlet is provided with a check valve 6, and the liquid outlet 8 is provided with a relief valve 7; one end of the return pipeline 13 is connected to the storage chamber 12, and the other end is connected to the liquid inlet; one end of the first cooling pipeline 501 is connected to the liquid inlet, and the other end is connected to the cold row 503; one end of the second cooling pipeline 502 is connected to the cold row 503, and the other end is connected to the liquid outlet 8; specifically:
