[0024] The technical solutions in the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a shifting structure, which is located on the side of the box body 7 and is connected to the fork 3, and includes:
[0026] A drive shaft 2 is rotatably arranged in the box body 7 and is provided with a driving block 201. A chute 202 is formed at one end of the driving block 201 away from the drive shaft 2. The fork 3 is provided with a driving rod 301, and the driving rod 301 is slidably clamped in the chute 202;
[0027] A shift piece 1 is arranged at one end of the drive shaft 2 away from the driving block 201, and has a first connecting part 101 and a second connecting part 102 distributed on both sides of the drive shaft 2. When the first connecting part 101 or the second connecting part 102 rotates around the drive shaft 2 as the axis, it drives the driving block 201 to swing around the drive shaft 2 as the axis, so as to drive the fork 3 to displace.
[0028] In the embodiment of the present utility model, taking Figure 1 , Figure 2 as an example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 are constant speed gears. In the initial state, the fork 3 and the synchronizer connected to the fork 3 are in the neutral position, that is, Figure 2 the middle of the shaft body, and taking the vehicle's shift cable is connected to the first connecting part 101 of the shift piece 1 as an example. When the shift cable is pulled by the shift lever, the shift piece 1 rotates clockwise, and drives the connected drive shaft 2 to rotate clockwise, so that the driving block 201 swings clockwise, and the fork 3 drives the synchronizer to move from neutral to the constant speed gear, that is, Figure 1 , Figure 2In the shown state, when returning to the neutral position, the shift cable is pushed by the shift lever, causing the shift piece 1 to rotate counterclockwise. As a result, the shift fork 3 drives the synchronizer to move from the constant speed gear to the neutral gear. During subsequent use, the shift cable can be pushed by the shift lever again to make the shift piece 1 continue to rotate counterclockwise, and the shift fork 3 drives the synchronizer to move from the neutral gear to the power boost gear, that is Figure 3 , Figure 4 display the gear position.
[0029] Since the positions of the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 102 are opposite, when the vehicle's shift cable is connected to the second connecting portion 102, when the shift cable is pulled by the shift lever, the shift cable pulls the shift piece 1 and makes the shift piece 1 rotate counterclockwise. When the shift cable is pushed by the shift lever, the shift piece 1 rotates clockwise. Applying the same-direction force to the shift piece 1 when the shift cable is connected to the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 102 will cause the rotation direction of the shift piece 1 to be opposite and also cause the gear position to change. When the installation orientation of the transmission changes, the vehicle's shift cable can be selected to be installed on the first connecting portion 101 or the second connecting portion 102 to ensure that when applying the same-direction force, the shifted gear positions are the same, reducing operation errors caused by different layouts, improving the user experience of the operator, and also being able to adapt to the already customized gear operation instructions of the vehicle, making it more suitable for the operation of the operator.
[0030] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the shift piece 1 is provided with a mounting sleeve 103 located between the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 102. The mounting sleeve 103 is sleeved on the end of the drive shaft 2, and a pin 6 is inserted through the mounting sleeve 103, and the pin 6 penetrates through the drive shaft 2; the mounting sleeve 103 is sleeved on the end of the drive shaft 2 and fixed by the pin 6, which can ensure that the shift piece 1 is firmly installed on the drive shaft 2, preventing unnecessary loosening or misalignment during its operation. Moreover, the pin 6 makes the installation and disassembly of the shift piece 1 simpler and faster, facilitating rapid assembly on the production assembly line and also being convenient for later maintenance.
[0031] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, a limiting portion 601 is fixedly provided at the end of the pin 6, and a limiting ring 602 is provided at the other end, and both the limiting ring 602 and the limiting portion 601 abut against the mounting sleeve 103; the limiting portion 601 and the limiting ring 602 can effectively prevent the pin 6 from falling out of the mounting sleeve 103, ensuring that the pin 6 is always in the correct position and avoiding shift failure or other mechanical failures caused by the pin 6 falling out. Among them, the limiting ring 602 can be engaged with the end of the pin 6 in a threaded manner.
[0032] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, a through hole is formed at one end of the bolt 6 close to the limit ring 602, and an elastic retaining pin 603 is inserted through the through hole. The elastic retaining pin 603 abuts against the limit ring 602. To further facilitate the installation of the limit ring 602, when the limit ring 602 is sleeved on the end of the bolt 6, the elastic retaining pin 603 can be directly inserted through the through hole of the bolt 6. Relying on the elastic force of the elastic retaining pin 603, the limit ring 602 can be made to abut against the mounting sleeve 103, ensuring the stability of the installation of the bolt 6.
[0033] Based on the above solution, as Figure 1 shown, it further includes a fixing plate 5. The fixing plate 5 is arranged on the side surface of the box body 7 and is provided with a limit plate 502. One end of the limit plate 502 is bent outward to form a first bent portion 504, and two limit grooves 501 corresponding to the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 102 are formed in the first bent portion 504. When the shift cable is connected to the first connecting portion 101 or the second connecting portion 102, the shift cable is inserted into the corresponding limit groove 501, so that the shift cable can only move along a predetermined path, ensuring the accurate execution of the shifting operation.
[0034] As Figure 1 shown, a support plate 503 is arranged on the side of the fixing plate 5 away from the limit plate 502. One end of the support plate 503 is bent outward to form a second bent portion 505. A limit rod 4 is inserted through the second bent portion 505. An extrusion portion 104 is arranged on the side of the shift piece 1 away from the first connecting portion 101. One end of the limit rod 4 is movably connected to the extrusion portion 104, and an extrusion spring 401 is sleeved on the limit rod 4. The extrusion spring 401 abuts between the second bent portion 505 and the extrusion portion 104. With the cooperation of the limit rod 4 and the extrusion spring 401, after the shifting operation of the shift piece 1 is completed, the shift piece 1 can always be subjected to the extrusion force of the extrusion spring 401, ensuring stability.
[0035] Moreover, a plurality of bolts pass through the fixing plate 5, and the plurality of bolts are threadedly connected to the box body 7. With the arrangement of the plurality of bolts, it can be ensured that the fixing plate 5 is firmly installed on the box body 7, facilitating assembly.

The specific structure of the shifting structure refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since this transmission adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be elaborated one by one here.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
