[0002] Agricultural vehicles have been widely adopted and promoted in rural areas, effectively liberating labor, improving production efficiency, and accelerating agricultural modernization. In the past, agricultural vehicles were mainly low-powered and had small load capacities, so many of their structures were relatively simple to save costs.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent application number CN201420517824.1 discloses the EQ245-2 pneumatic transfer case, which includes a housing and an input gear shaft, an intermediate gear shaft and an intermediate constant mesh gear on the housing, a front drive output shaft and a high speed gear and a front drive release sleeve on the shaft, a rear drive output shaft and a low speed gear and a sliding gear sleeve on the shaft.

The front drive output shaft is provided with a front drive shift fork, which is fixed to the front drive shift shaft by bolts. The front drive shift shaft is mounted on the front drive cylinder sleeve by a piston disc and is fastened by bolts.

[0004] However, in the use of existing pneumatic transfer cases, the high and low speed adjustment ends are usually directly connected to the output shaft, which makes it inconvenient to perform transition shifts, easily causes the bearings to lack lubrication, and the structure is relatively non-compact, requiring a large space, and the overall system integration is relatively poor.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model optimizes the shifting structure by integrating a high-speed gear, a bushing, a low-speed gear, and a drive gear from left to right on the outer surface of the shaft. A transmission internal gear paddle is located on the outer surface of the bushing.

The upper and lower sides of the shifting structure 7 are respectively connected to the input shaft main body 3 and the output shaft main body 4 on the left and right sides of the interior of the housing 1.

[0021] With the cooperation of the input shaft body 3 and the shifting structure 7, a high gear or a low gear can be formed to transmit the force to the output shaft body 4, thereby causing the rear drive shaft body 6 to move through the output shaft body 4. Under the action of the front drive control structure 8, the front drive shaft body 5 is connected or disconnected from the output shaft body 4, thus realizing four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive functions. Moreover, the various components form a compact overall structure, saving space and improving the integration of the overall system.

[0022] The shifting structure 7 includes a rotating shaft 71 connected to the left and right sides of the housing 1, a high-speed gear 72, a bushing 73, a low-speed gear 74 and a drive gear 75 arranged from left to right on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 71, and a transmission internal gear paddle 76 that slides on the outer surface of the bushing 73. The bushing 73 and the drive gear 75 rotate coaxially with the rotating shaft 71. The top sides of the high-speed gear 72 and the low-speed gear 74 are connected to the input shaft body 3, and the bottom side of the drive gear 75 is connected to the output shaft body 4. When the transmission internal gear paddle 76 is on the left side, it meshes with the high-speed gear 72. When the transmission internal gear paddle 76 is on the right side, it meshes with the low-speed gear 74. The high and low speed movements of the rotating shaft 71 and the drive gear 75 are realized by the movement of the position of the transmission internal gear paddle 76.

The input shaft body 3 has a large gear and a small gear on its left and right sides, respectively. The bottom of the large gear meshes with the high-speed gear 72, and the bottom of the small gear meshes with the low-speed gear 74. The output shaft body 4 has a large gear and a small gear on its outer surface. A driven gear is provided on the right side of the bushing 73, and the top side of the driven gear meshes with the drive gear 75. The outer surface of the bushing 73 is provided with protruding teeth, and the protruding teeth mesh with the inner side of the transmission internal gear pawl 76, so that the transmission internal gear pawl 76 can drive the bushing 73 to move when it rotates. A spring 731 is provided inside the bushing 73, and a steel ball 732 is connected to the bottom end of the spring 731. The side of the steel ball 732 away from the spring 731 contacts the transmission internal gear pawl 76, which plays a limiting role and ensures the stability of the transmission internal gear pawl 76 after it moves, thus ensuring the dynamic balance effect to a certain extent.

The internal gear 83 is slidably located on the left side of the outer surface of the output shaft body 4, and the right side of the internal gear 83 meshes with the output shaft body 4 for transmission. When the internal gear 83 is located on the left side, the left side of the internal gear 83 meshes with the front drive shaft body 5 for transmission. The lateral position of the internal gear 83 is controlled by the front drive cylinder 81 to achieve four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive function.

[0025] During operation, the input shaft body 3 rotates to drive the high-speed gear 72 and low-speed gear 74 respectively. The high and low gear cylinders actuate to change the position of the transmission internal gear paddle 76 on the surface of the bushing 73. When the transmission internal gear paddle 76 is on the left side, it meshes with the high-speed gear 72 to achieve high-speed operation of the rotating shaft 71 and the drive gear 75. The meshing between the drive gear 75 and the driven gear on the outer surface of the output shaft body 4 drives the rear drive shaft body 4. The body 6 or the front drive shaft body 5 and the rear drive shaft body 6 can move to achieve high-speed two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive functions; when the transmission internal gear paddle 76 is on the right side, it meshes with the low-speed gear 74 to achieve low-speed movement of the shaft 71 and the drive gear 75, and through the meshing between the drive gear 75 and the driven gear on the outer surface of the output shaft body 4, the output shaft body 4 drives the rear drive shaft body 6 or the front drive shaft body 5 and the rear drive shaft body 6 to move to achieve low-speed two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive functions.
