However, the connection stability between the shift fork and the coupling sleeve is poor, the shift fork and the coupling sleeve are easy to separate, and there is a lack of effective limiting structure to strengthen the strength between the shift fork and the coupling sleeve.
[0003] According to a disclosed fork limiting structure and fork assembly (Announcement No.: CN216279338U), the above application includes a fork and a coupling sleeve, a sliding hole is opened at the top of the fork, a plurality of first trapezoidal blocks are equidistantly arranged on the annular inner wall at the bottom of the fork, a first limiting groove is formed between the first trapezoidal blocks, a plurality of bolts are screwed on both sides of the fork, a plurality of second trapezoidal blocks are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall at the top of the coupling sleeve, a second limiting groove is formed between the second trapezoidal blocks.
[0004] However, during actual use of the above-mentioned shift fork limiting structure, the bolts will gradually loosen due to long-term vibration, which will cause the connection between the shift fork and the coupling sleeve to loosen, making the gear shifting operation unstable, causing relative movement between components, increasing wear and shortening the service life; in view of this, we propose a shift fork limiting structure.

Specific implementation manner
[0024] As Figures 1-6 shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a shift fork limiting structure, including a shift fork shaft 1, a shift block 2 is slidably connected to the side wall of the shift fork shaft 1, a fixed sleeve 3 is slidably connected to the side wall of the shift fork shaft 1, a reverse shift fork 6 is slidably connected to the side wall of the shift fork shaft 1, a shift fork 4 is slidably connected to the side wall of the shift fork shaft 1, and a limiting component is arranged on the inner wall of the shift fork 4. The limiting component includes a trapezoidal block 1 7, a card slot 8, a trapezoidal block 2 9, a bolt 10, a cross slot 11, a turntable 12, a pin 13, a movable block 14, a spring 15, and an arc chamfer 16.
[0025] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the trapezoidal block 1 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shift fork 4, a card slot 8 is opened on the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 1 7, a bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the shift fork 4, a cross slot 11 is opened on the end surface of the bolt 10, and an arc chamfer 16 is opened on the end surface of the bolt 10.
[0026] Meanwhile, the trapezoidal block two 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the engaging sleeve 5. A number of groups of the trapezoidal block one 7 and the trapezoidal block two 9 are provided, and a number of groups of the trapezoidal block one 7 and the trapezoidal block two 9 are engaged with each other, improving the connection strength between the shift fork 4 and the engaging sleeve 5. The inner wall of the trapezoidal block two 9 is rotatably connected with a turntable 12, and a plug pin 13 is fixedly connected to the end face of the turntable 12. The bolt 10 is sleeved with the trapezoidal block two 9, and the cross groove 11 is inserted with the plug pin 13. The plug pin 13 is provided with a large-diameter end and a small-diameter end. The small-diameter end is arranged at one end close to the bolt 10, and the large-diameter end is arranged at one end close to the turntable 12. The bolt 10 moves towards the trapezoidal block two 9, and then pushes the bolt 10 to expand towards both sides, improving the friction between the bolt 10 and the trapezoidal block two 9. The inner wall of the trapezoidal block two 9 is slidably connected with a movable block 14, and a spring 15 is sleeved on the side wall of the movable block 14. The movable block 14 is inserted into the clamping groove 8. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the trapezoidal block two 9, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the movable block 14. The trapezoidal block two 9 is movably connected with the bolt 10, and the spring 15 elastically pulls the movable block 14 to move towards the inside of the trapezoidal block two 9 through elasticity.
[0027] In addition, the trapezoidal block one 7 and the trapezoidal block two 9 are inserted together, and then the shift fork 4 and the engaging sleeve 5 are connected.

[0028] Furthermore, the bolt 10 moves towards the inside of the trapezoidal block two 9, so that the plug pin 13 is inserted into the cross groove 11. As the bolt 10 rotates, the length of the plug pin 13 inserted into the cross groove 11 becomes longer and longer, and then pushes the bolt 10 to expand towards both sides, improving the friction between the bolt 10 and the trapezoidal block two 9, having a better self-locking effect, reducing looseness caused by vibration, and improving connection stability.
[0029] In addition, an arc chamfer 16 is provided on the end face of the bolt 10.

[0030] In the present utility model, during use, the first trapezoidal block 7 and the second trapezoidal block 9 are plugged together. The shift fork 4 is connected to the engaging sleeve 5. Rotate the bolt 10. The bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the shift fork 4. The bolt 10 pushes the movable block 14 to both sides, causing the movable block 14 to insert into the card slot 8, and the pin 13 to insert into the cross slot 11, and then push the bolt 10 to expand to both sides.

However, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
