[0018] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment includes an outer housing 1, a housing end cover 2 and a differential assembly 3. The housing end cover 2 is sealingly connected to one side of the outer housing 1. The differential assembly 3 is installed inside the outer housing 1. A circular driving shaft hole 11 is provided at the front end of the outer housing 1. Left convex body 12 and right convex body 13 are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the outer housing 1. Through left driven hole 121 and right driven hole 131 are respectively provided in the left convex body 12 and the right convex body 13. The active protection housing 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the outer housing 1. The active protection housing 4 is in a through shape and covers the outside of the driving shaft hole 11. The input shaft 41 is fixed inside the active protection housing 4. The input shaft 41 passes through the driving shaft hole 11 and is meshed with the differential assembly 3. The active protection housing 4 plays a role in protecting the input shaft 41. Left clamping plate 14 and right clamping plate 15 are arranged on the outside of the outer housing 1. The left clamping plate 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the left convex body 12, the outer housing 1 and the outside left side of the active protection housing 4 respectively. The right clamping plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outside right side of the outer housing 1 and the active protection housing 4 respectively. The left clamping plate 14 and the right clamping plate 15 play a role in clamping and supporting the active protection housing 4.
[0019] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the left driven protection housing 5 and the right driven protection housing 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the left convex body 12 and the right convex body 13 outside the left driven shaft hole and the right driven shaft hole. The left driven protection housing 5 and the right driven protection housing 6 are also in a through cylindrical shape. The left driven protection housing 5 and the right driven protection housing 6 cover the outside of the left driven shaft hole and the right driven shaft hole.
