[0006] Technical Solution

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is:

[0008] An integrated speed reducer comprises a shell, which is provided with a threaded hole, a pressure groove, a bearing mounting groove and a gear selection shaft hole; a parking system assembly comprises a bearing, a support plate, a pressure block, a push rod, a gear selection shaft and a P gear block, the gear selection shaft is clamped with the gear selection shaft hole through a bushing, the bearing is clamped with the bearing mounting groove, the bearing is installed on the gear selection shaft, the support plate is provided with a through hole matching the threaded hole, the pressure block is clamped with the pressure groove; a P gear is clamped with the P gear block; a differential assembly is connected to the parking system assembly through an intermediate shaft.

[0009] The housing is the outer frame of the entire system, which is used to house all the internal components, providing a solid shell to protect the internal components from external factors. The accurate installation and positioning of the internal components are ensured by setting features such as threaded holes, pressure grooves, bearing mounting grooves and gear selector shaft holes. The parking system assembly includes bearings, support plates, pressure blocks, push rods, gear selector shafts and P-blocks. Bearings: provide support for the gear selector shaft to ensure smooth rotation of the gear selector shaft. Support plates: fixed by through holes that match the threaded holes on the housing to maintain the stability of the entire system. Pressure blocks: engage with the pressure grooves to fix the position of the support plates and ensure the rigidity of the entire structure. Push rods: used to push the P-block when needed to achieve the parking function. Gear selector shaft: engages with the gear selector shaft hole through a bushing to ensure precise fit. P-block: used to fix the P-block gear to achieve the parking function. The P-block gear is engaged with the P-block block. When the vehicle enters the P-block, the P-block gear will engage with a fixed point in the transmission system to prevent the vehicle from moving. Through precise engagement, the P gear is ensured to firmly fix the vehicle in the parking state. The differential assembly is connected to the parking system assembly through an intermediate shaft, distributing torque to the wheels on the left and right sides and allowing them to rotate at different speeds. Through integrated design, the volume and weight of the entire system are reduced, improving the vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency. Integrating multiple components in a single housing reduces the required space and simplifies the installation and maintenance process. Reducing the number of parts simplifies the production process, thereby reducing costs. Fewer moving parts means fewer wear points, which reduces the possibility of failure.
