[0020] The input shaft body 3 includes a main shaft 31 that runs through the left side of the gearbox body 1. A second shaft 32 is inserted and rotated inside the right side of the main shaft 31. The second shaft 32 runs through the connection between the gearbox body 1 and the housing 2.

The intermediate gear 4 transmits power to the intermediate shaft 5 through the progressively smaller design of the first to the fourth gear. When the first double-gear 33 and the second double-gear 34 move axially along the second shaft 32, they mesh with the second, third and fourth gears of the intermediate gear 4 respectively, forming a multi-stage gear ratio.

[0024] Inside the housing 2, the low-speed gear 35 and high-speed gear 36 of the dual shaft 32 are switched by the high-low gear sliding sleeve 37, respectively driving the first intermediate gear 6 and the second intermediate gear 7, which in turn drive the drive gear 9 to rotate. The front drive separation sleeve 12 moves axially under the action of the pneumatic actuator, so that the front drive output shaft 11 engages or disengages with the drive gear 9 to switch between four-wheel drive mode and rear drive mode. The rear drive output shaft 10 is always linked with the drive gear 9 to ensure continuous output of rear drive force.
