Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of power systems, and in particular to an engine. Background Art

[0002] The engine sucks in air through the air inlet, causing the air to mix with atomized fuel to form a fuel-air mixture. In the traditional intake passage, due to the air flow, turbulence is generated at the passage opening, resulting in an impact on the air intake volume of the intake passage. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an engine with good air intake effect in its intake passage.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An engine, which includes a cylinder head and an intake manifold, and the intake manifold is connected to the cylinder head; the cylinder head includes an intake passage and a combustion chamber, the intake passage has a first end and a second end arranged oppositely, the intake passage is communicated with the intake manifold through the first end, the intake passage is communicated with the combustion chamber through the second end, the first end surrounds to form an air inlet of the intake passage, and the first end forms a taper angle that expands outward with the central axis of the air inlet as the center.

[0006] Further, the inner wall of the first end is a continuous and smooth surface.

[0007] Further, define a projection plane perpendicular to the length direction of the cylinder head, define the projection of the central axis of the air inlet along the left-right direction of the cylinder head on the projection plane as the first projection line, and define the projection of the inner wall of the first end along the left-right direction of the cylinder head on the projection plane as the second projection line. The included angle range between the first projection line and the second projection line is 5° to 15°.

[0008] Further, the included angle range between the first projection line and the second projection line is 7° to 13°

[0009] Further, the intake passage further includes an airway main body, the airway main body is located between the first end and the second end, and an arc chamfer is provided at the part where the inner wall of the first end is connected to the inner wall of the airway main body.

[0010] Further, the length range of the first end extending along the axial direction of the air inlet is 1 mm to 3 mm.

[0011] Further, the length range of the first end extending along the axial direction of the air inlet is 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the engine also includes a seat ring, which is arranged between the intake manifold and the cylinder head. The seat ring passes through from the intake manifold to the cylinder head to form an air supply passage. The intake passage is connected to the space of the intake manifold through the air supply passage, and the aperture of the air supply passage decreases from the cylinder head to the intake manifold.

[0013] Furthermore, the aperture of one end of the air delivery passage toward the cylinder head is greater than or equal to the aperture of the air intake port.

[0014] Furthermore, the cylinder head also includes an exhaust channel, which is connected to the combustion chamber. The end of the exhaust channel away from the combustion chamber is surrounded by an exhaust port, and the end of the exhaust channel away from the combustion chamber forms a cone angle that expands outward with the central axis of the exhaust port as the center.

[0015] The engine enlarges the first end of the air intake port on the cylinder head to form a cone angle that expands outward with the central axis of the air intake port as the center, thereby increasing the air intake volume of the intake channel and improving the turbulence at the air intake port without affecting the connection between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides an engine 100, which can be used as a power supply device for vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles. In the embodiment of the present application, the engine 100 belongs to a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, which can convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and output power externally. The engine 100 includes a housing 10, and the housing 10 constitutes the main frame of the engine 100. The housing 10 includes an oil pan 11, a crankcase 12, a cylinder block 13, a cylinder head 14, and a cylinder head cover 15 that are connected in sequence from bottom to top.

[0031] To clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions as shown in Figure 2 are also provided as the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions of the cylinder head 14.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the engine 100 further includes an intake and exhaust system 20. The intake and exhaust system 20 includes an intake manifold 21. The intake manifold 21 is connected to the cylinder head 14. The cylinder head 14 includes an intake passage 141 and a combustion chamber 142 for burning the fuel-air mixture. The intake manifold 21 communicates with the intake passage 141 and distributes air and the fuel-air mixture as evenly as possible into each intake passage 141 to ensure that the combustion efficiency in each combustion chamber 142 is basically the same, making the power output of the engine 100 more stable.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, as an implementation manner, the intake passage 141 has a first end 1411 and a second end 1412 which are oppositely arranged. The first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 communicates with the air passage of the intake manifold 21 (see Figure 1 ). The second end 1412 of the intake passage 141 communicates with the combustion chamber 142. The first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 forms an intake port 1411a around it, and the first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 forms a taper angle that expands outward with the central axis of the intake port 1411a as the center. Thereby, the intake air volume of the engine 100 is increased, and the air flow turbulence at the intake port 1411a is improved.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the end face of the cylinder head 14 connected to the intake manifold 21 is defined as a manifold mounting surface 143. During the initial machining process, the first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 is processed by a machining tool such as a cutting tool or a grinding wheel, so that an included angle is formed between the inner wall of the first end 1411 and the manifold mounting surface 143, that is, the aperture of the first end 1411 gradually expands in the direction from the intake passage 141 to the intake manifold 21.

[0035] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, as an implementation, a projection plane 101 perpendicular to the left-right direction of the cylinder head 14 is defined. The projection of the central axis of the air inlet 1411a in the left-right direction of the cylinder head 14 on the projection plane 101 is defined as the first projection line 102, and the projection of the inner wall of the first end 1411 in the left-right direction of the cylinder head 14 on the projection plane 101 is defined as the second projection line 103. The included angle α between the first projection line 102 and the second projection line 103 ranges from 5° to 15°. Further, the included angle α between the first projection line 102 and the second projection line 103 ranges from 7° to 13°. More preferably, the included angle α between the first projection line 102 and the second projection line 103 is equal to 10°. It should be noted that since the included angle α between the first projection line 102 and the second projection line 103 determines the aperture of the first end 1411, if the included angle α is too small, it is limited to increase the aperture of the first end 1411, and the increase in the intake air volume in the intake passage 141 is small. If the included angle α is too large, the aperture of the first end 1411 will be too large, affecting the assembly of the intake manifold 21 and the cylinder head 14, and may cause poor sealing at the air inlet 1411a. Through the above settings, while ensuring the stability and convenience of the assembly of the intake manifold 21 and the cylinder head 14, the intake air volume in the intake passage 141 is increased as much as possible, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the engine 100.

[0036] Specifically, the intake passage 141 includes an airway main body 1413 that constitutes the basic shape of the intake passage 141. The airway main body 1413 is located between the first end 1411 and the second end 1412. An arc-shaped chamfer is provided at the part where the inner wall of the airway main body 1413 is connected to the inner wall of the first end 1411. According to the foregoing, since the first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 is machined to form a taper that expands outward with the central axis of the air inlet 1411a as the center, in the initial machining stage, the intersection range between the first end 1411 of the intake passage 141 and the airway main body 1413 is a fold angle of 0° to 180°. In order to avoid the influence of this fold angle on the intake air volume in the intake passage 141, the fold angle is further machined into an arc-shaped chamfer, thereby avoiding the first end 1411 from generating turbulent flow on the gas when the gas enters the intake passage 141 and improving the intake air volume in the intake passage 141.

[0037] As an implementation, the length L1 of the first end 1411 extending along the axial direction of the air inlet 1411a ranges from 1 mm to 3 mm. Further, the length of the first end 1411 extending along the axial direction of the air inlet 1411a ranges from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm. More preferably, the length of the first end 1411 extending along the axial direction of the air inlet 1411a is equal to 2 mm. It should be noted that the length of the first end 1411 extending along the axial direction of the air inlet 1411a and the aperture diameter of the first end 1411 directly affect the air intake volume of the air intake passage 141. And when the length of the first end 1411 extending along the axial direction of the air inlet 1411a is too large, in order to meet the above requirements for the angle α between the first projection line 102 and the second projection line 103, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the aperture diameter of the first end 1411, and the increase in the aperture diameter of the first end 1411 may also affect the assembly of the intake manifold 21. Therefore, through the above settings, while ensuring the stability and convenience of the assembly of the intake manifold 21 and the cylinder head 14, the air intake volume in the air intake passage 141 is increased as much as possible, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the engine 100.

[0038] As Figure 5 shown, as an implementation, the intake and exhaust system 20 further includes a seat ring 22. The seat ring 22 is disposed between the intake manifold 21 and the cylinder head 14. The seat ring 22 is penetrated in the direction from the intake manifold 21 to the cylinder head 14 to form an air delivery passage 221. The air intake passage 141 is spatially communicated with the intake manifold 21 through the air delivery passage 221. The aperture diameter of the air delivery passage 221 decreases in the direction from the cylinder head 14 to the intake manifold 21.

[0039] Since the air outlet of the intake manifold 21 or the pipe for outputting gas of the intake manifold 21 is a standard part, in order to avoid the non-correspondence between the air outlet of the intake manifold 21 and the air inlet 1411a of the cylinder head 14, the seat ring 22 between the intake manifold 21 and the cylinder head 14 can effectively ensure the air flow transmission between the two, and avoid problems such as air leakage and reduction of gas flow rate.

[0040] Further, the aperture diameter of the end of the air delivery passage 221 facing the cylinder head 14 is greater than or equal to the aperture diameter of the air inlet 1411a, so as to avoid the possibility of the seat ring 22 disturbing the gas at the air inlet 1411a.

[0041] As Figure 3As shown, as an alternative implementation, the cylinder head 14 further includes an exhaust passage 144. The exhaust passage 144 is disposed opposite to the intake passage 141 and faces the front and rear sides of the cylinder head 14 respectively. One end of the exhaust passage 144 communicates with the combustion chamber 142, and the exhaust gas in the combustion chamber 142 is discharged from the engine 100 through the exhaust passage 144. The end of the exhaust passage 144 facing away from the combustion chamber 142 forms an exhaust port for discharging the exhaust gas from the engine 100, and the end of the exhaust passage 144 facing away from the combustion chamber 142 forms a taper angle that expands outward with the central axis of the exhaust port as the center. Thereby, when the exhaust gas is discharged from the engine 100, turbulence is avoided at the exhaust port, and thus the exhaust effect is improved.

[0042] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the engine 100 further includes a transmission mechanism 30. The transmission mechanism 30 is installed in the crankcase 12. The transmission mechanism 30 is used to change the transmission ratio of the engine 100 to meet the traction requirements of the vehicle under different driving conditions, so that the engine 100 operates under favorable working conditions as much as possible and meets the possible driving speed requirements. The transmission mechanism 30 is also used to achieve reverse driving to meet the needs of the vehicle for reverse driving. The transmission mechanism 30 is also used to interrupt the power transmission of the engine 100. When the engine 100 starts, idles, the vehicle shifts gears or needs to stop for power output, the power transmission from the engine 100 to the drive wheels is interrupted.

[0043] As an implementation, the crankcase 12 includes an upper crankcase 121 and a lower crankcase 122 (as Figure 1 shown). An installation space 124 for installing the transmission mechanism 30 is formed between the upper crankcase 121 and the lower crankcase 122. The transmission mechanism 30 includes a shift hub 31, shift forks 32 and shift fork shafts 33. The shift hub 31, shift forks 32 and shift fork shafts 33 are all located in the installation space 124, and the shift hub 31 and the shift fork shafts 33 are both installed on the crankcase 12.

[0044] Specifically, the shift hub 31 is installed on the upper crankcase 121 and is fixedly connected to the upper crankcase 121. The shift hub 31 can rotate relative to the upper crankcase 121 along its circumferential direction. One end of the shift hub 31 is provided with a positioning star wheel 34 connected to the shift hub 31. The positioning star wheel 34 is fixedly connected to the shift hub 31 so that the positioning star wheel 34 rotates synchronously with the shift hub 31.

[0045] A plurality of grooves 311 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the shift hub 31. The shift forks 32 are disposed below the shift hub 31, and one end of each shift fork 32 is embedded in the grooves 311. The shift forks 32 are in clearance fit with the grooves 311 so that the shift forks 32 can move relative to the shift hub 31. By driving the positioning star wheel 34 to rotate the shift hub 31, the shift forks 32 move along the extending direction of the grooves 311.

[0046] The shift fork shaft 33 is installed in the upper housing 121 and fixedly connected to the upper housing 121. The shift fork shaft 33 passes through the shift fork 32 and has a clearance fit with the shift fork 32. A reference line 105 parallel to the axis of the shift hub 31 is defined, and the axis of the shift fork shaft 33 is substantially parallel to the reference line 105.

[0047] The speed change mechanism 30 further includes a speed change gear assembly 35. The speed change gear assembly 35 is installed in the lower housing 122, and one end of the shift fork 32 facing away from the shift hub 31 is clamped with some gears in the speed change gear assembly 35. When the shift hub 31 rotates, the shift fork 32 moves under the restriction of the groove 311 and drives some gears in the speed change gear assembly 35 to translate along the direction of the reference line 105.

[0048] The speed change mechanism 30 further includes a power transmission assembly 36. The power transmission assembly 36 is arranged between the upper housing 121 and the lower housing 122 and is rotatably connected to the crankcase 12. The power transmission assembly 36 extends substantially along the direction of the reference line 105. The power transmission assembly 36 is in transmission connection with the crankshaft (not shown in the figure) of the engine 100. The speed change gear assembly 35 is arranged on the power transmission assembly 36. Under the action of the crankshaft, the power transmission assembly 36 and the speed change gear assembly 35 connected to the power transmission assembly 36 are driven to rotate. Among them, the speed change gear assembly 35 includes a shift gear 351 and a free gear 352. The free gear 352 has a clearance fit with the power transmission assembly 36. The shift gear 351 is splined to the power transmission assembly 36, and the shift gear 351 has a movable degree of freedom to move along the direction of the reference line 105. One end of the shift fork 32 facing away from the shift hub 31 is clamped with the shift gear 351. When the positioning star wheel 34 drives the shift hub 31 to rotate, the shift fork 32 moves under the restriction of the groove 311, and then drives the shift gear 351 to move along the direction of the reference line 105. The shift gear 351 meshes with the corresponding free gear 352 to realize gear selection.

[0049] As Figure 8 shown, specifically, the number of the shift forks 32 is set to several, and at least part of the shift forks 32 have limit members 321 at one end facing away from the speed change gear assembly 35. The shift fork 32 includes a first shift fork 322 and a second shift fork 323. The first shift fork 322 is provided with a limit member 321. The first shift fork 322 abuts against the shift hub 31 through the limit member 321, so that the first shift fork 322 is inclined in a set direction. Among them, the limit member 321 is configured as a protrusion extending from the first shift fork 322 to the shift hub 31 direction. It should be noted that one end of the shift fork 32 facing away from the speed change gear assembly 35 is embedded in the groove 311, and the limit member 321 is located outside the groove 311 and abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the shift hub 31.

[0050] Further, the second shift fork 323 does not have a limiting member 321. When the second shift fork 323 is connected to the shift hub 31, the second shift fork 323 is naturally suspended on the shift fork shaft 33. It should be noted that since the second shift fork 323 is not provided with the same limiting member 321 as the first shift fork 322, when the second shift fork 323 is fixed at the installation position through the shift fork shaft 33, the second shift fork 323 is naturally suspended downward under the influence of gravity.

[0051] As Figure 9 shown, the shift fork shaft 33 includes a first shift fork shaft 331 and a second shift fork shaft 332. The first shift fork 322 and the second shift fork 323 are respectively suspended on the first shift fork shaft 331 and the second shift fork shaft 332. The power transmission assembly 36 includes a power input shaft 361 and a power output shaft 362 that extend substantially along the direction of the reference line 105 (see Figure 7 ), both of which are installed in the crankcase 12 and can rotate relative to the crankcase 12 along their circumferences. The power input shaft 361 is connected to the crankshaft. The power input shaft 361 is drivingly connected to the power output shaft 362 through a speed change gear assembly 35 to achieve power transmission. The power output shaft 362 transmits the power outside the engine 100 to achieve power transmission to the drive wheels. The first shift fork shaft 331 is located obliquely above the power output shaft 362, and the second shift fork shaft 332 is located directly above the power input shaft 361.

[0052] In the example of the present application, the axial direction of the first shift fork shaft 331 is substantially parallel to the left - right direction of the cylinder head 14, that is, the reference line 105 is parallel to the left - right direction of the cylinder head 14. Therefore, the projection of the axis of the first shift fork shaft 331 along the direction of the reference line 105 on the projection plane 101 is defined as the first projection point, and the projection of the axis of the power output shaft 362 along the direction of the reference line 105 on the projection plane 101 is defined as the second projection point. The extension direction from the first projection point to the second projection point is the set direction 105.

[0053] It should be noted that during the assembly process of the crankcase 12, the shift hub 31, the shift fork 32, and the shift fork shaft 33 are installed on the upper housing 121. The speed change gear assembly 35 is arranged on the power transmission assembly 36, and the power transmission assembly 36 is installed on the lower housing 122. Since the first shift fork shaft 331 is located obliquely above the power output shaft 362, during the process of closing the case, in order to prevent the first shift fork 322 from being naturally suspended downward under the influence of gravity, resulting in the need to manually adjust the inclination direction of the first shift fork 322, the extension direction of the first shift fork 322 is changed through the limiting member 321, so that the first shift fork 322 extends along the set direction and can be engaged with a part of the speed change gear assembly 35 installed on the power output shaft 362.

[0054] With the above settings, the overall assembly efficiency of the engine 100 is improved, and there is no need to manually adjust the extension direction of the first fork 322 during the casing assembly process, thereby enhancing the safety during the production process of the engine 100.

[0055] Since the gears of the transmission gear assembly 35 have certain dimensional requirements to meet the strength and transmission ratio of the transmission gear assembly 35, the interval between the power input shaft 361 and the power output shaft 362 is greater than the interval between the first fork shaft 331 and the second fork shaft 332. Therefore, in order to provide a more reasonable layout space for the fork shaft 33, by providing a limiting member 321 on the first fork 322 that abuts against the shift hub 31, there is no need to manually adjust the inclination of the first fork 322 in a set direction during the casing assembly process, making the casing assembly of the upper casing 121 and the lower casing 122 more convenient and safer. As an alternative implementation, when the first fork shaft 331 is located obliquely above the power output shaft 362 and the second fork shaft 332 is simultaneously located obliquely above the power input shaft 361, limiting members 321 can be provided on both the first fork 322 and the second fork 323 to change their respective extension directions, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the engine 100.

[0056] As Figure 9 shown, as an implementation, elastic members 37 are provided at both ends of the first fork shaft 331 and both ends of the second fork shaft 332. The first fork shaft 331 and the second fork shaft 332 are in contact with the inner wall of the crankcase 12 through the elastic members 37. The elastic members 37 absorb the vibration transmitted from the crankcase 12 to the fork shaft 33, solving the problem of unsmooth gear shifting of the vehicle.

[0057] Specifically, an assembly gap 1211 is formed between both ends of the first fork shaft 331 and both ends of the second fork shaft 332 and the inner wall of the crankcase 12, and at least a part of the elastic member 37 is located in the assembly gap 1211. Through the reserved assembly gap 1211, the fork shaft 33 has the possibility of moving in a direction parallel to the reference line 105, thereby eliminating the influence caused by the vibration of the engine 100.

[0058] More specifically, a receiving groove 333 that is recessed inward is formed at the end of the fork shaft 33, and at least a part of the elastic member 37 is provided in the receiving groove 333. Thereby, it is avoided that the elastic member 37 falls off from between the fork shaft 33 and the inner wall of the upper casing 121 along the assembly gap 1211.

[0059] It should be noted that the ends of the fork shaft 33 refer to both ends of the fork shaft 33, and the ends of the fork shaft 33 being recessed inward means that both ends of the fork shaft 33 are recessed toward the center point of the fork shaft 33.

[0060] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, as an implementation, the speed change mechanism 30 further includes a positioning rocker arm assembly 38. The positioning rocker arm assembly 38 is fixedly installed on the upper crankcase 12, and the positioning rocker arm assembly 38 and the positioning star wheel 34 are installed on the same side of the shift hub 31. The positioning rocker arm assembly 38 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the positioning star wheel 34. When the speed change mechanism 30 is in any gear position, the rotation of the positioning star wheel 34 is restricted by the positioning rocker arm assembly 38 to prevent the speed change mechanism 30 from being out of gear or failing to engage gears.

[0061] The positioning rocker arm assembly 38 includes a rocker arm 381 and a bearing 382 provided at one end of the rocker arm 381. The bearing 382 is rotatably connected to the rocker arm 381. When the positioning star wheel 34 rotates, the shift hub 31 rotates synchronously with the positioning star wheel 34, and the meshing relationship between the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 is adjusted through the shift fork 32 to achieve gear shifting. At the same time, the bearing 382 moves along the outer peripheral surface of the positioning star wheel 34 as the positioning star wheel 34 rotates, and applies a continuous force to the positioning star wheel 34 to ensure the stability of the shift hub 31.

[0062] It should be noted that in the related art, generally a roller formed by stamping is provided to abut against the positioning star wheel 34. However, due to the relatively rough outer peripheral surface of the roller formed by stamping, the frictional resistance between the two is large when the positioning star wheel 34 rotates, which easily causes wear on the outer peripheral surface of the positioning star wheel 34, and for the user experience, the gear shifting is not smooth enough. It can be understood that since the outer peripheral surface of the bearing 382 is smoother and the frictional force of the bearing 382 during rolling is smaller, replacing the roller formed by stamping with the bearing 382 reduces the wear between the bearing 382 and the positioning star wheel 34 and makes the gear shifting smoother.

[0063] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, as an implementation, the shift fork 32 is clamped with the shift gear 351. The shift fork 32 is used to drive the shift gear 351 to move along the direction of the reference line 105, so that the shift gear 351 meshes with or disengages from the free gear 352. The shift gear 351 has a pawl 3511 extending in the direction towards the free gear 352, and the free gear 352 has a meshing groove 3521 cooperating with the pawl 3511. It should be noted that the free gear 352 also has a pawl structure 2522 that is basically the same as the pawl 3511. The pawl structures 2522 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the free gear 352, and a meshing groove 3521 for the pawl 3511 to insert is formed between two adjacent pawl structures 2522. When the shift fork 32 drives the shift gear 351 to move along the direction of the reference line 105 until the pawl 3511 is inserted into the meshing groove 3521, the shift gear 351 meshes with the free gear 352, and the two rotate synchronously.

[0064] The shift gear 351 includes a first state and a second state. The first state is the stage before the shift gear 351 engages with the free gear 352, that is, the stage before the shift gear 351 moves axially along the power transmission assembly 36 until the pawl 3511 is embedded in the engagement slot 3521. The second state is the state where the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 are in complete engagement and rotate synchronously. When the shift gear 351 is in the first state, the contact area between the pawl 3511 and the engagement slot 3521 is defined as the first area. When the shift gear 351 is in the second state, the contact area between the pawl 3511 and the engagement slot 3521 is defined as the second area, and the second area is larger than the first area. By increasing the contact area between the two, the frictional force between the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 is increased to ensure the stability of the engagement between the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352, and to prevent the problem of gear disengagement in the transmission mechanism 30 during the user's driving of the vehicle.

[0065] Specifically, the shift gear 351 includes a gear body 3512 and a pawl 3511 integrally formed with the gear body 3512. The pawl 3511 is in an inverted conical shape, that is, the pawl 3511 has a first end 3511a and a second end 3511b arranged oppositely. The first end 3511a of the pawl 3511 is connected to the gear body 3512, and the second end 3511b of the pawl 3511 can be embedded in the engagement slot 3521 and abuts against one side end face of the engagement slot 3521 (this end face can be the side face of any one of the two pawl structures 3522 constituting the engagement slot 3521, specifically depending on the rotation direction of the shift gear 351). The width of the first end 3511a of the pawl 3511 is smaller than the width of the second end 3511b of the pawl 3511. By providing the inverted conical pawl 3511, a larger contact area is formed between the pawl 3511 and the engagement slot 3521 when the shift gear 351 is in the second state.

[0066] Furthermore, the pawls 3511 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the shift gear 351. By providing a plurality of pawls 3511 and engagement slots 3521, the stability of the engagement between the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 is improved.

[0067] As an implementation, the inverted conical pawl 3511 has an inclined side wall 3511c, and the cone angle formed by the side wall 3511c ranges from 89° to 90°. Further, the cone angle formed by the side wall 3511c ranges from 89.2° to 89.7°. More preferably, the cone angle formed by the side wall 3511c is equal to 89.5°. Through the above settings, it is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the contact area between the pawl 3511 and the engagement groove 3521 is too small, resulting in insufficient frictional force, and prevent the problem of gear disengagement in the transmission mechanism 30. In addition, it is also possible to avoid the problem that it is difficult to separate the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 due to too large a cone angle.

[0068] It should be noted that for conventional vehicles, by setting a cone angle in the range of 89° to 90°, the stability when the shift gear 351 and the free gear 352 are engaged can be improved. However, for racing vehicles, since their engines 100 maintain a high rotational speed and need to quickly complete gear shifting in a high-speed environment, the requirement for gear stability is higher. For the engine 100 of the above-mentioned racing vehicles, the pawl 3511 of the shift gear 351 can be set with a larger cone angle, such as in the range of 86° to 89°, so as to ensure the stability of the transmission system.

[0069] Further, the engagement groove 3521 has an inner wall extending along the axial direction of the power transmission component 36, and the extending direction of the inner wall of the engagement groove 3521 is substantially parallel to the extending direction of the reference line 105. Therefore, by only machining the side wall 3511c of the pawl 3511, the frictional force between the pawl 3511 and the engagement groove 3521 can be increased, and the machining difficulty can be reduced.

[0070] Exemplarily, the pawl 3511 is formed by machining.

[0071] It should be understood that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this application.
