[0015] Example 1

[0016] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an engine built-in differential mechanism includes a main shaft 1, an output shaft 2, a secondary shaft 3, an intermediate shaft 8 and a differential assembly 10, a speed change mechanism 11 is arranged between the main shaft 1 and the output shaft 2, a reverse gear 6, a forward gear 4 and a shift block 5 are arranged on the secondary shaft 3, and the shift block 5 is located between the reverse gear 6 and the forward gear 4, the secondary shaft 3 and the output shaft 2 are an integrated structure, the intermediate gears are provided with a bridge gear 7 and an intermediate shaft gear 9, the forward gear 4 and the intermediate shaft gear 9 are not directly meshed, and the differential assembly 10 meshes with the forward gear 4 and the intermediate shaft gear 9 at the same time, and the bridge gear 7 is directly meshed with the reverse gear 6.

[0017] The forward gear 4, the reverse gear 6 and the shift block 5 are connected to the countershaft 3 via splines.

[0018] The intermediate shaft gear 9 and the bridge gear 7 are press-fitted and fixed on the intermediate shaft 8 .

[0019] An annular groove 12 is provided in the middle of the shift block 5, connecting splines 13 are provided on both sides of the shift block 5, and connecting grooves for the connecting splines 13 to cooperate with are provided on the reverse gear teeth 6 and the forward gear teeth 4.
