Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the central drive box for a four-speed heavy-duty truck with an electromagnetic slow-speed single motor provided by this utility model.

[0020] The electromagnetic retarder single-motor four-speed heavy truck central drive box includes a motor 1, a transmission gear set 2, a planetary gear set 3, and an output shaft 4 connected in sequence. The transmission gear set 2 is equipped with a first shifting mechanism 5, the planetary gear set 3 is equipped with a second shifting mechanism 6, and the output shaft 4 is equipped with an electromagnetic retarder 7.

[0021] The transmission gear set 2 includes an input shaft 21, an input gear 22, two intermediate shafts 23, two front intermediate gears 24, two rear intermediate gears 25, and a connecting shaft 26.

[0022] The input shaft 21 is connected to the motor 1 and is equipped with input gears 22.

[0023] Two intermediate shafts 23 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the input shaft 21, with bearings at both ends, and a front intermediate tooth 24 and a rear intermediate tooth 25 are respectively provided near the ends. The front intermediate tooth 24 meshes with the input tooth 22, and the rear intermediate tooth 25 is connected to the connecting shaft 26 through the first shifting mechanism 5.

[0024] The connecting shaft 26 is coaxial with the input shaft 21.

[0025] The first shifting mechanism 5 includes a first shifting spline 51, a first shifting tooth 52, and a first sliding sleeve 53. The first shifting spline 51 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 26, and the first shifting tooth 52 is movably mounted on the connecting shaft 26. The input tooth 22 has a spline on the side near the first shifting spline 51, and the first shifting tooth 52 also has a spline on the side near the first shifting spline 51.

[0026] The first sliding sleeve 53 engages adjacent splines, thereby connecting the input tooth 22 with the first shift spline 51, or connecting the first shift tooth 52 with the first shift spline 51.

[0027] When the first shift gear 52 is connected to the first shift spline 51, it is in a low gear position, which is recorded as the previous gear. The power is output to the connecting shaft 26 after being reduced in speed by the intermediate shaft 23.

[0028] When the input gear 22 is connected to the first shift spline 51, it is in the high gear position, which is recorded as the first two gears, and the power is directly output to the connecting shaft 26.

[0029] One end of the connecting shaft 26 is provided with a first shift spline 51, the middle section is provided with a bearing, and the other end is connected to the sun gear of the planetary gear set 3. The planet carrier of the planetary gear set 3 is connected to the output shaft 4. The output shaft 4 is coaxial with the connecting shaft 26 and extends away from the connecting shaft 26. After passing through the second shift mechanism 6, the output shaft 4 is provided with a bearing and is connected to the electromagnetic retarder 7.

[0030] The second shifting mechanism 6 includes a gear ring spline 63. The gear ring of the planetary gear set 3 is retracted and connected to the output shaft 4 via a bearing, and the gear ring spline 63 is provided on the outer side of the connection position.

The second shifting spline 61 and the fixed spline 62 are respectively disposed on both sides of the gear ring spline 63.

[0032] The output shaft 4 is coaxial with the connecting shaft 26 and extends away from the connecting shaft 26.

[0033] The adjacent splines are engaged by the second sliding sleeve 64, thereby connecting the gear ring spline 63 to the fixed spline 62, or connecting the gear ring spline 63 to the second shift spline 61.

[0034] When the gear ring spline 63 is connected to the fixed spline 62, it is in the low gear position, which is recorded as the next gear. The power is output to the output shaft 4 after being reduced by the planetary gear set 3.

[0035] When the gear ring spline 63 is connected to the second shift spline 61, it is in the high gear position, which is called the second gear. The planetary gear set 3 rotates as a whole, and the power is directly output to the output shaft 4.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
