Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: an electric drive axle transmission structure, including a first intermediate shaft 3, a second intermediate shaft 4, and a third intermediate shaft 5;

[0020] The first intermediate shaft 3: A third gear 9 is provided at its left end. It further includes a motor 1, which is located outside the first intermediate shaft 3. The input end of the motor 1 is electrically connected to the output end of an external control switch. A motor shaft 2 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 1. A first gear 7 is provided at the left end of the motor shaft 2. A second gear 8 is provided at the left end of the first intermediate shaft 3. The second gear 8 is meshed with the first gear 7. When regulating the drive of the electric drive axle, the motor 1 is started through the external control switch to drive the motor shaft 2 to rotate. The motor shaft 2 drives the first gear 7 to rotate. The first gear 7 drives the second gear 8 to drive the first intermediate shaft 3 to rotate through meshing connection. The first intermediate shaft 3 drives the third gear 9 to rotate. The third gear 9 drives the fourth gear 10 to drive the second intermediate shaft 4 to rotate through meshing connection, providing power for the drive of the electric drive axle;

[0021] The second intermediate shaft 4: A fourth gear 10 is provided at its left end. The fourth gear 10 is meshed with the third gear 9. A fifth gear 11 and a sixth gear 12 are respectively installed in the middle of the second intermediate shaft 4. Both the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 are rotationally connected to the second intermediate shaft 4 through bearings. A shifting mechanism is slidably connected in a guiding groove on the outside of the second intermediate shaft 4. The shifting mechanism is cooperatively installed with the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12. By different tooth number ratios between the eighth gear 14 and the fifth gear 11 and between the ninth gear 15 and the sixth gear 12, the output speed of the output shaft 6 of the differential is regulated through the shifting mechanism, and the output speed of the electric drive axle drive is regulated through the tooth number ratio;

[0022] The third intermediate shaft 5: gears eight 14 and gears nine 15 are respectively provided on a part thereof. Gear eight 14 is fitted and installed with gear five 11, and gear nine 15 is fitted and installed with gear six 12. It further includes a differential output shaft 6. The differential output shaft 6 is located outside the first intermediate shaft 3. A gear ten 16 is provided at the left end of the differential output shaft 6, and a gear seven 13 is provided at the left end of the third intermediate shaft 5. Gear seven 13 is meshed and connected with gear ten 16. The tooth number ratio between gear eight 14 and gear five 11 is different from the tooth number ratio between gear nine 15 and gear six 12. The first intermediate shaft 3, the second intermediate shaft 4 and the third intermediate shaft 5 are parallelly distributed. The second intermediate shaft 4 drives the shift mechanism to rotate synchronously through the guide groove. In the first gear position, the shift mechanism is toggled to slide along the guide groove and dock with gear six 12, so that gear six 12 rotates. Gear six 12 drives gear nine 15 to rotate through meshing connection. Gear nine 15 drives gear seven 13 to rotate through the third intermediate shaft 5. Gear 13 drives the differential output shaft 6 to rotate through meshing connection with gear ten 10. In the second gear position, the shift mechanism is toggled to slide along the guide groove and dock with gear five 11, so that gear five 11 rotates. Gear five 11 drives gear eight 14 to rotate through meshing connection, and thus the differential output shaft 6 rotates through the same principle. The use of double-row stepped gears between the first intermediate shaft 3, the second intermediate shaft 4 and the third intermediate shaft 5 can increase the transmission stages, improve the compactness of the transmission system, and achieve a larger speed ratio on the premise of minimizing the occupied axial space. This device can improve the integration of the electric drive axle, make full use of the space. The use of double-row stepped gears can increase the transmission stages, improve the compactness of the transmission system, and achieve a larger speed ratio on the premise of minimizing the occupied axial space. The use of a parallel shaft system for transmission has a simple structure and relatively low production and maintenance costs.

[0023] The working principle of a drive axle transmission structure provided by the present utility model is as follows: When adjusting and controlling the drive axle transmission, the motor 1 is started through an external control switch to drive the motor shaft 2 to rotate. The motor shaft 2 drives the first gear 7 to rotate. The first gear 7 drives the second gear 8 to rotate through meshing connection, and the second gear 8 drives the first intermediate shaft 3 to rotate. The first intermediate shaft 3 drives the third gear 9 to rotate. The third gear 9 drives the fourth gear 10 to rotate through meshing connection, and the fourth gear 10 drives the second intermediate shaft 4 to rotate. The second intermediate shaft 4 drives the shift mechanism to rotate synchronously through the guide groove. In the first gear position, the shift mechanism is toggled to slide along the guide groove and dock with the sixth gear 12, so that the sixth gear 12 rotates. The sixth gear 12 drives the ninth gear 15 to rotate through meshing connection. The ninth gear 15 drives the seventh gear 13 to rotate through the third intermediate shaft 5. The gear 13 drives the differential output shaft 6 to rotate through meshing connection with the tenth gear 10. In the second gear position, the shift mechanism is toggled to slide along the guide groove and dock with the fifth gear 11, so that the fifth gear 11 rotates. The fifth gear 11 drives the eighth gear 14 to rotate through meshing connection, and thus the differential output shaft 6 rotates through the same principle. By setting different tooth number ratios between the eighth gear 14 and the fifth gear 11 and between the ninth gear 15 and the sixth gear 12, the output speed of the differential output shaft 6 can be adjusted through the shift mechanism. Double-connecting stepped gears are adopted between the first intermediate shaft 3, the second intermediate shaft 4, and the third intermediate shaft 5, which can increase the transmission stage number and improve the compactness of the transmission system while minimizing the occupied axial space, achieving a larger speed ratio.

[0024] It should be noted that the motor 1 disclosed in the above embodiments can adopt Y80M1-2, and the external control switch is provided with a control button corresponding to the motor 1 for controlling its switch.
