AI Technical Summary
In existing five-speed manual transmissions for commercial vehicles, the intermediate shaft is usually assembled using an interference fit or welding process, which results in low assembly efficiency or high cost, and poses risks of slippage and slippage.
It adopts an integral intermediate shaft design, with the central main gear, central third gear, central second gear, central first gear, and central reverse gear being integrally machined with the shaft body. It combines oblique gear shaping and gear hobbing into one piece, uses spline grooves and spline holes for connection, and is equipped with tapered bearings to avoid additional fixing measures such as welding.
It improves the strength and service life of the intermediate shaft, avoids slippage and uneven movement, enhances shifting smoothness and comfort, and reduces labor costs and deformation risk.

Abstract
Claims
1. An integral intermediate shaft anti-slip mechanism, comprising: Shaft (1); Its characteristic is that it further includes: The shaft (1) is equipped with a central main tooth (2), a central third tooth (3), and a central second tooth (4). The central main tooth (2), central third tooth (3), and central second tooth (4) are integrally designed with the shaft (1). The central second tooth (4) is located on the side of the central third tooth (3) away from the central main tooth (2). The shaft (1) is also provided with a central first tooth (5) and a central back tooth (6) on the side away from the central second tooth (4). The shaft (1) adopts a stepped shaft design as a whole. The diameter is increased in the shaft segments corresponding to heavy-duty gears such as the central main tooth (2) and the central third tooth (3). The shaft shoulder transition of the shaft (1) has a large fillet to reduce stress concentration.
2. The integral intermediate shaft anti-movement mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The main tooth (2), the third tooth (3), and the second tooth (4) are all machined using a slanted tooth-cutting process, and a machining groove is left between the third tooth (3) and the second tooth (4) for deburring after tooth cutting.
3. A one-piece intermediate shaft anti-backlash mechanism according to claim 2, wherein: The middle tooth (5) and the middle back tooth (6) are integrally formed by hobbing. The shaft (1) has a clearance groove on the side wall of the middle back tooth (6) away from the middle second tooth (4) for hobbing cutting.
4. A one-piece intermediate shaft anti- tramp mechanism according to claim 3, characterized in that: The shaft (1) has a central fifth tooth (7) on the side of the central back tooth (6) away from the central second tooth (4). The central fifth tooth (7) is connected to the shaft (1) through a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a spline groove (1001) and a spline hole (1002) respectively opened on the shaft (1) and the central fifth tooth (7). The spline groove (1001) and the spline hole (1002) are matched and arranged.
5. A one-piece intermediate shaft anti- tramp mechanism according to claim 4, characterized in that: The shaft (1) is provided with a fixing component for fixing the center five teeth (7). The fixing component includes a fixing hole (1101) opened on the bottom side wall of the shaft (1) near the spline groove (1001). An elastic retaining ring (1102) is provided in the fixing hole (1101).
6. A one-piece intermediate shaft anti-backlash mechanism as set forth in claim 5, wherein: The two ends of the shaft (1) assembly are respectively press-fitted with a first tapered bearing (8) and a second tapered bearing (9) for connection with the transmission assembly housing.
