AI Technical Summary
Existing left and right steering devices are complex in structure, difficult to manufacture, and difficult to achieve efficient switching between straight-line movement and left and right steering functions in walking machinery and vehicles.
The steering device employs a combination of internal and external spur gears with full meshing and disengagement. Power transmission and steering control are achieved through a bevel gear shaft, driven bevel gear, intermediate transmission shaft, internal and external spur gears, and shift fork structure. Elastic retaining rings and needle roller bearings ensure stable gear meshing and disengagement.
It achieves a compact and easy-to-manufacture steering device that can efficiently switch between straight-line travel and left and right steering functions of mobile machinery and vehicles.

The left yoke drives the left spur cylindrical gear to slide rightwards on the external spline section of the left half shaft to make the left spur cylindrical gear and the left internal spur cylindrical gear fully engaged, the left yoke drives the left spur cylindrical gear to slide leftwards on the external spline section of the left half shaft to make the left spur cylindrical gear and the left internal spur cylindrical gear disengaged, the right yoke drives the right spur cylindrical gear to slide leftwards on the external spline section of the right half shaft to make the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear fully engaged, and the right yoke drives the right spur cylindrical gear to slide rightwards on the external spline section of the right half shaft to make the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear disengaged. When the left spur cylindrical gear and the left internal spur cylindrical gear and the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear are simultaneously in full tooth engagement, the left half shaft and the right half shaft can simultaneously output power. When the left spur cylindrical gear and the left internal spur cylindrical gear are disengaged, while the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear are still in full tooth engagement, the right half shaft outputs power. When the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear are disengaged, while the left spur cylindrical gear and the left internal spur cylindrical gear are still in full tooth engagement, the left half shaft outputs power. The number of teeth and the module of the left spur cylindrical gear, the left internal spur cylindrical gear, the right spur cylindrical gear and the right internal spur cylindrical gear are the same.

[0006] (V) Specific Implementation Methods: such as Figure 1 As shown, manipulating the left shift fork lever (14) causes the left shift fork (13) to move the left spur gear (15) to the right on the outer spline section of the left half-shaft (11) until it fully meshes with the left inner spur gear (12). Manipulating the right shift fork lever (10) causes the right shift fork (9) to move the right spur gear (8) to the left on the outer spline section of the right half-shaft (5) until it fully meshes with the right inner spur gear (7). Power is transmitted through the bevel gear shaft (2) and the driven bevel gear. The gear (3) and intermediate drive shaft (4) transmit power to the left, through the left internal spur gear (12), left spur gear (15), and left half-shaft (11), to achieve power output to the left; the power is transmitted to the right, through the right internal spur gear (7), right spur gear (8), and right half-shaft (5), to achieve power output to the right. At this time, the power output of the left half-shaft (11) and the power output of the right half-shaft (5) are achieved simultaneously. When the right internal spur gear (7) and the right spur gear (8) are in full gear meshing, the left shift fork lever (14) is manipulated to make the left shift fork (13) move the left spur gear (15) to slide to the left on the outer spline section of the left half-shaft (11) until it disengages from the left internal spur gear (12). At this time, the left half-shaft (11) will stop power output. When the left internal spur gear (12) and the left spur gear (15) are in full mesh, the right shift fork lever (10) is manipulated to cause the right shift fork (9) to move the right spur gear (8) to slide to the right on the outer spline section of the right half-shaft (5) until it disengages from the right internal spur gear (7). At this time, the right half-shaft (5) will stop power output. This steering device has a compact structure, strong innovation, and high practicality. It is easy to manufacture and can be installed on mobile machinery or vehicles, enabling the mobile machinery or vehicles to travel in a straight line and turn left and right.
