Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular relates to a shuttle shift fork. Background Technology

[0002] The gear shift fork is a key component of a car's transmission, responsible for switching between different gears through driver input. Traditional gear shift forks are mostly simple rod-shaped or plate-shaped structures, connecting the shift shaft and the shift mechanism to complete gear changes. With the continuous advancement of automotive technology, the requirements for the precision, strength, and durability of gear shift forks are becoming increasingly stringent. Although existing gear shift forks meet basic shifting needs to a certain extent, some shortcomings still exist in practical applications. Especially under high-load, high-frequency shifting operations, the structural strength of traditional gear shift forks often cannot withstand the load, easily leading to deformation, breakage, and other malfunctions, seriously affecting the reliability and service life of the transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The second protrusion is spaced apart from the first protrusion along the axial direction of the body portion, and the second protrusion protrudes from the surface of the body portion and the protrusion direction is parallel to the first protrusion.

[0008] A first extension arm is connected to the body portion and extends away from the second protrusion along the central axis of the first protrusion portion. The end of the first extension arm away from the body portion forms a cylindrical first mounting portion.

[0009] The second extension arm is connected to the body portion and extends away from the first protrusion along the central axis of the second protrusion. The end of the second extension arm away from the body portion forms a second mounting portion coaxially disposed with the first mounting portion.

[0010] Optionally, the first extension arm includes a first extension segment and a second extension segment connected end to end;

[0011] The main body is connected to the first extension, the first mounting portion is formed on the second extension, and an arched notch is recessed on the second extension and spaced apart from the first mounting portion.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The present application will now describe a shuttle-type shift fork according to an embodiment. This shuttle-type shift fork includes a body portion 101, a first protrusion 102, a second protrusion 103, a first extension arm 104, and a second extension arm 105. Wherein:

[0031] The main body 101 is cylindrical; a first protrusion 102 protrudes radially from the surface of the main body 101; a second protrusion 103 is spaced apart from the first protrusion 102 along the axial direction of the main body 101, and the second protrusion 103 protrudes from the surface of the main body 101 and the protrusion direction is parallel to the first protrusion 102; a first extension arm 104 is connected to the main body 101 and extends away from the second protrusion 103 along the central axis of the first protrusion 102, and the end of the first extension arm 104 away from the main body 101 forms a cylindrical first mounting portion 141; a second extension arm 105 is connected to the main body 101 and extends away from the first protrusion 102 along the central axis of the second protrusion 103, and the end of the second extension arm 105 away from the main body 101 forms a second mounting portion 151 coaxially arranged with the first mounting portion 141. In this embodiment, the main body 101, the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103 are respectively used to process through holes along their own axial direction. In this way, when the main body 101 is installed in place, the fasteners used to fix the main body 101 can lock the main body 101 through the through holes processed on the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103.

[0032] According to the structure provided in this embodiment, in the spindle-shaped shift fork provided in this embodiment, the second extension arm 105 extending away from the first protrusion 102 can cooperate with the first extension arm 104 extending away from the second protrusion 103 and the body portion 101 to form the basic structure of the spindle-shaped shift fork. Since the ends of the first extension arm 104 and the second extension arm 105 connected to the body portion 101 are respectively located on the central axis of the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103, and since the extending directions of the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103 are parallel to each other, the spindle-shaped shift fork provided in this embodiment can be subjected to force more evenly during operation, thereby giving it better structural strength and a longer service life, which is far superior to the prior art.

[0033] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4The first extension arm 104 includes a first extension segment 142 and a second extension segment 143 connected end to end; the body portion 101 is connected to the first extension segment 142, and a first mounting portion 141 is formed on the second extension segment 143, with an arched notch 144 recessed on the second extension segment 143 and spaced apart from the first mounting portion 141. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the arched notch 144 formed on the second extension segment 143 can not only be used to avoid other mechanical parts, but also eliminate the concentrated stress on the first extension arm 104, thereby giving the first extension arm 104 better structural strength. This is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the shuttle shift fork in this embodiment.

[0034] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The second extension arm 105 includes a third extension segment 152 and a fourth extension segment 153 connected end to end; the main body 101 is connected to the third extension segment 152, and the second mounting portion 151 is formed on the fourth extension segment 153. The third extension segment 152 and the first extension segment 142 are symmetrically arranged about the axial center plane of the main body 101. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the symmetrically arranged third extension segment 152 and first extension segment 142 can make the spindle-shaped shift fork provided in this embodiment more evenly stressed during operation, which is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the spindle-shaped shift fork in this embodiment.

[0035] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 A third mounting portion 154 is formed on the second extension arm 105. The third mounting portion 154 is connected to the second mounting portion 151, and the surface of the third mounting portion 154 facing away from the main body 101 is arc-shaped. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the third mounting portion 154 formed on the second extension arm 105 can serve as a limiting structure for the shuttle shift fork in this embodiment, and can also serve as a detection object for the target position sensor, allowing the operator to quickly obtain the position information of the shuttle shift fork, thus having a good usage effect. In addition, since the surface of the third mounting portion 154 facing away from the main body 101 is arc-shaped, the third mounting portion 154 can have better structural strength, which is also conducive to further improving the structural strength of the shuttle shift fork in this embodiment.

[0036] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The cross-sectional area of ​​the third mounting portion 154 gradually decreases in the radial direction of the second mounting portion 151. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the gradually decreasing cross-sectional area of ​​the third mounting portion 154 in the radial direction of the second mounting portion 151 allows the shuttle shift fork provided in this embodiment to have better steering flexibility, thereby significantly extending its service life.

[0037] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The axial directions of the first mounting portion 141 and the second mounting portion 151 are both parallel to the axial direction of the main body portion 101. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, setting the axial directions of the first mounting portion 141 and the second mounting portion 151 to be parallel to the axial direction of the main body portion 101 can make the spindle shift fork in this embodiment more balanced in terms of force during operation, which is also conducive to further improving the structural strength of the spindle shift fork in this embodiment.

[0038] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 Both the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103 are cylindrical. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the cylindrical first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 103 can form a more stable connection with the body portion 101, which is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the shuttle shift fork in this embodiment.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
