DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] A twelve-speed gearbox structure for commercial vehicles, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , which includes a main box part 100 and a sub-box part 200;

[0021] The main gearbox part 100 includes a main gearbox housing 101, a main gearbox shaft 1 (not shown in the figure, belonging to the existing mature technology), a main gearbox intermediate shaft 102, a main gearbox shaft 2 103, and corresponding transmission gears on each shaft group. The main gearbox shaft 1, the main gearbox intermediate shaft 102, and the main gearbox shaft 2 103 are arranged in parallel at different positions.

[0022] The auxiliary box part 200 includes an auxiliary box housing 201, an auxiliary box intermediate shaft 202, an auxiliary box output shaft 203, and an auxiliary box synchronizer 204. The auxiliary box intermediate shaft 202 and the auxiliary box output shaft 203 are arranged in parallel at different positions;

[0023] The main box part 100 and the auxiliary box part 200 are both provided with a connecting shell 1, and the connecting shell 1 is shared;

[0024] The auxiliary box output shaft 203 is sleeved with a first bearing 3 at a through position corresponding to the outer end plate 2 of the auxiliary box housing 201. The outer end of the auxiliary box output shaft 203 exposed to the auxiliary box part 200 is fixedly connected with an output flange 4. The inner end of the auxiliary box output shaft 203 is sleeved with an auxiliary box synchronizer 204. The auxiliary box output shaft 203 and the main box second shaft 103 are coaxially arranged in sequence. The main box second shaft 103 is located in the main box housing 101 and protrudes toward one end of the auxiliary box housing 201. The main box second shaft 103 penetrates into the inner cavity of the auxiliary box housing to form an outer convex end 5. The main box second shaft 103 corresponds to the connection housing 1 position of the main box housing 101 and the auxiliary box housing 201 and is sleeved with a second bearing 6. The outer convex end 5 of the main box second shaft 103 is The annular surface is fixed with a first transmission tooth 7, the end surface of the outer convex end 5 of the main box second shaft 103 is convex to form a shaft head part 8, and the inner end surface of the auxiliary box output shaft 203 is concave to form a shaft head groove 9. The needle roller bearing 10 is installed in the corresponding bearing mounting groove of the annular frame 11. The annular frame 11 is sleeved on the outer ring of the shaft head part 8. The shaft head part 8 is sleeved with a limiting retaining ring 12 corresponding to the outer end of the corresponding annular frame 11. The shaft head part 8 is provided with an embedded groove at the outer ring position corresponding to the limiting retaining ring 12, which ensures that the position of the limiting retaining ring is stable and reliable; the outer ring of the shaft head part 8 is surrounded by a needle roller bearing 10 and then inserted into the shaft head groove 9, and the outer periphery of the needle roller bearing 10 is arranged close to the annular wall of the shaft head groove 9.

[0025] In specific implementation, the limiting snap ring 12 is in close contact with the end face of the annular frame 11 facing the output flange 4, and the other end face of the annular frame 11 is in close contact with the inner end limiting stop protrusion 81 of the shaft head part 8, ensuring that the annular frame 11 will not deviate axially.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the auxiliary box output shaft 203 is sleeved with a freely rotating second transmission tooth 13 at the end portion close to the output flange 4 of the auxiliary box synchronizer 204, and a third transmission tooth 14 is fixedly sleeved on the auxiliary box intermediate shaft 202. The third transmission tooth 14 is meshed and connected to the second transmission tooth 13, and the inner end of the auxiliary box intermediate shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the main box intermediate shaft 102.

[0027] In specific implementation, corresponding first meshing teeth 15 are respectively provided at both axial ends of the auxiliary box synchronizer 204, the second meshing teeth 16 are integrated on the first transmission teeth 7, and the third meshing teeth 17 are integrated on the second transmission teeth. The auxiliary box synchronizer 204 has three states: the first meshing teeth 15 are engaged with the second meshing teeth 16, and the output flange 4 outputs power in high gear; the first meshing teeth 15 are engaged with the third meshing teeth 17, and the output flange 4 outputs power in low gear. The first transmission teeth 15, the second meshing teeth 16, and the third meshing teeth 17 are not engaged, and the auxiliary box synchronizer 204 is in neutral state.

[0028] The auxiliary box synchronizer 204 has two gears, high gear and low gear. When shifting to low gear (output flange 4 end), the auxiliary box output shaft 203 itself has a certain guiding role; when shifting to high gear, the added needle roller bearing 10 can be used to help position the auxiliary box synchronizer 204 and play a guiding role; and the limit ring 12 can prevent the annular frame 11 corresponding to the needle roller bearing 10 from axially jumping.

[0029] Its working principle is as follows: an outward-convex shaft head part is added to the second shaft of the main box, a shaft head groove is added to the inner end of the output shaft of the auxiliary box, a needle roller bearing is arranged on the outer ring of the shaft head, and a needle roller bearing is arranged around the outer ring of the shaft head part and then inserted into the shaft head groove. Through the axial assembly of the two main shafts and the axial assembly of the output shaft of the auxiliary box, the needle roller bearing arranged on the ring is reliably positioned in the axial position of the bearing groove, and the needle roller bearing arranged on the ring completes another point of reliable support for the output shaft of the auxiliary box, and cooperates with the first bearing to make the output shaft of the auxiliary box have two-point positioning, and the setting of the needle roller bearing arranged on the ring does not affect the two-point positioning of the two main shafts. When the auxiliary box synchronizer moves axially along the output shaft of the auxiliary box to shift gears, the output shaft of the auxiliary box is reliably supported regardless of the axial position of the auxiliary box synchronizer on the output shaft of the auxiliary box, thereby improving the operating life of the auxiliary box synchronizer and ensuring long-term, stable and reliable operation of the entire gearbox.
