Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile transmission system structure, in particular to a rear drive axle system of an all-terrain vehicle. Background Art
[0002] All-terrain vehicles are vehicles that can travel on any terrain and can move freely on terrain that is difficult for ordinary vehicles to maneuver. In my country, they are commonly known as beach buggies or farmer's carts. This type of vehicle has wide tires that can increase the contact area with the ground, generate greater friction and reduce the pressure of the vehicle on the ground, making it easy to travel on beaches, riverbeds, forest roads, streams, and harsh desert terrains.
[0003] The rear axle is a component of the power transmission system of rear-wheel drive vehicles. It consists of two half-bridges that can implement half-bridge differential movement. At the same time, it is also a device used to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels. The transmission of a car is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can change the transmission ratio of the output shaft and the input shaft in a fixed or step-by-step manner (to achieve variable transmission ratio transmission). The speed reducer of a car is to reduce the speed of the power from the transmission to increase the torque, and drive the drive axle through a pair of conical or cylindrical gears. This component can provide the vehicle with a stronger power output and ensure the stability and performance of the vehicle (reduce the engine speed and achieve fixed transmission ratio transmission).
[0004] The rear axle, transmission, reducer and other components together form the rear drive axle system of the car, which is installed on the chassis. On the one hand, because all-terrain vehicles often travel on rough roads, the working conditions are worse than those of ordinary cars, so the vehicles often have to bear greater torque; on the other hand, because the chassis space of all-terrain vehicles is smaller, the requirements for the size of each component are higher; based on the above two aspects, all-terrain vehicles need a rear drive axle system that is smaller in structure than ordinary cars and can withstand greater torque.

[0008] Optionally, the differential includes a differential bevel gear and a differential plate gear, the differential bevel gear is connected to one end of the reduction shaft, and the differential plate gear is meshed with the differential bevel gear.
[0009] Optionally, the transmission ratio of the high gear is in the range of greater than 22 and less than 24; the transmission ratio of the low gear is greater than 11 and less than 12.

[0011] Optionally, the parking brake is a disc brake.
[0012] Optionally, the other end of the reduction shaft is also connected to the front axle via a universal joint.
[0013] Optionally, the differential is installed in a differential case.
[0014] As described above, the rear drive axle system of an all-terrain vehicle of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The rear drive axle system of the all-terrain vehicle is connected to a parking brake through one end of a transmission output shaft, and a fifth gear is installed on the transmission output shaft; one end of the reduction shaft of the reducer is connected to the rear axle through a differential, and a reduction gear is connected to the reduction shaft, and the reduction gear is meshed with the fifth gear. The transmission and the reducer are installed in an integrated box, and the rear axle, the transmission, the parking brake and the reducer are integrated together to form a rear drive axle system. Compared with the original design, space is saved, and the entire rear drive axle system can be more easily installed and arranged on the frame than scattered parts; at the same time, the rear drive axle system with a compact structure has a reduction shaft and a transmission output shaft shorter than the design of the prior art, so it can withstand greater torque per unit area; that is, a rear drive axle system with a smaller structure than that of an ordinary car and a greater torque can be provided.
[0016] 2. The rear drive axle system of the all-terrain vehicle is designed to have a first gear, a synchronizer and a third gear connected to the transmission input shaft, and a second gear and a fourth gear connected to the transmission output shaft, thereby realizing free switching of the three gears of the all-terrain vehicle, namely, high gear, neutral gear and low gear.

[0018] 4. The rear drive axle system of this all-terrain vehicle is designed with a disc brake through the parking brake. Because all-terrain vehicles often travel on rugged roads, the heat generated by the wheels during braking is higher than that of ordinary cars. Therefore, compared with the use of drum brakes, disc brakes can achieve better heat dissipation effects during braking.

The entire rear drive axle system can be more easily installed and arranged on the frame than the scattered parts; at the same time, the compact rear drive axle system has a shorter length of the reduction shaft 21 and the speed change output shaft 18 inside the system than the design of the prior art, so it can withstand a larger torque per unit area; that is, it provides a rear drive axle system that is more compact than an ordinary car and can withstand a larger torque.
[0028] In another embodiment, the power mechanism of the all-terrain vehicle uses an electric motor, which drives the speed change input shaft 17 to rotate. Compared with the use of an oil engine, the motor drive mode is more conducive to keeping the vehicle clean and hygienic, and the energy cost is also lower.
[0029] In another embodiment, see Figure 1, the first gear 11, the synchronizer 16 and the third gear 13 are connected to the speed change input shaft 17, and the second gear 12 and the fourth gear 14 are also connected to the speed change output shaft 18; through this scheme, the present embodiment realizes the free switching of the three gears of the all-terrain vehicle, namely, the high gear, the neutral gear and the low gear; that is, when the transmission 1 is in the high gear, under the action of the synchronizer 16, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are meshed, and the third gear 13 and the fourth gear 14 are disengaged; when the transmission 1 is in the low gear, under the action of the synchronizer 16, the third gear 13 and the fourth gear 14 are meshed, and the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are disengaged; when the transmission 1 is in the neutral gear, under the action of the synchronizer 16, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are disengaged, and the third gear 13 and the fourth gear 14 are disengaged.

The technicians can also appropriately change the number of teeth of one or some gears to fine-tune the transmission ratio, which will not be repeated here.
[0032] In another embodiment, see Figure 2The parking brake 4 is a disc brake. Because all-terrain vehicles often travel on rough roads, the heat generated by the wheels during braking is higher than that of ordinary cars. Therefore, compared with drum brakes, disc brakes can achieve better heat dissipation effect during braking.
[0033] In another embodiment, see Figure 2 One end of the reduction shaft 21 is connected to the rear axle by the differential 3, and the other end of the reduction shaft 21 is connected to the front axle by the universal joint 5.

[0034] In other embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the differential 3 is installed in the differential case 7, which makes it easier to install the differential 3 on the vehicle frame.

The design integrates the rear axle, the transmission 1, the parking brake and the reducer 2 to form a rear drive axle system. Compared with the original design, it saves space, and the entire rear drive axle system can be more easily installed and arranged on the frame than the scattered parts; at the same time, the structure The compact rear drive axle system has a shorter length of the reduction shaft 21 and the speed output shaft 18 than the prior art design, so it can withstand greater torque per unit area; that is, it provides a rear drive axle system that is smaller in structure than ordinary cars and can withstand greater torque; at the same time, one end of the reduction shaft 21 is connected to the rear axle by the differential 3, and the other end of the reduction shaft 21 is connected to the front axle by the universal joint 5, so that the front axle and the rear axle of the all-terrain vehicle are connected as one.
