[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it reduces the ease of shifting while ensuring the reliability of shifting.

[0010] Preferably, the method further includes a front axle engagement mechanism, which includes a front axle engagement sleeve and a front axle shift fork for driving its movement. A front output shaft is mounted on one side of the output shaft in the gearbox housing.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a two-speed transfer case for large off-road vehicles. By incorporating a pressure lubrication oil pump at the rear end of the input shaft and drilling through the central oil passage of the input shaft, the front and rear bearings of the input shaft, which experience the most severe lubrication conditions, are forcibly lubricated by the oil pump, resulting in more reliable lubrication and improved gear bearing life. Furthermore, the intermediate shaft high-speed gear, intermediate shaft low-speed gear, input shaft high-speed gear, and input shaft low-speed gear all utilize helical high-gear with high overlap and large helix angle, resulting in a compact structure, smooth meshing, low noise, and smooth transmission, while reducing the weight of the transmission.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution for a two-speed transfer case for a large off-road vehicle: a two-speed transfer case for a large off-road vehicle includes a gearbox housing 1, a top cover 2 at the top of the gearbox housing 1, an input shaft 3 at the upper end of the gearbox housing 1, an intermediate shaft 4 below the input shaft 3, an output shaft 5 below the intermediate shaft 4, a high gear 6 and a low gear 7 on the intermediate shaft 4, a high gear 8 and a low gear 9 on the input shaft 3, an output gear 10 on the output shaft 5, and a high / low gear engagement sleeve 27 between the high gear 8 and the low gear 9 on the input shaft 3;

[0024] The rear end of the input shaft 3 is equipped with a built-in pressure lubricating oil pump, and a central oil passage is drilled in the center of the input shaft 3. The outlet of the pressure lubricating oil pump is connected to the central oil passage.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a gear shifting mechanism, which includes a gear shifting cylinder 11, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a shift fork shaft 12, a shift fork 13 mounted on the shift fork shaft 12, and the bottom of the shift fork 13 mounted on a high / low gear engagement sleeve 27.

[0026] In this embodiment, a shifting mechanism is provided. To ensure the accuracy of power transmission, this mechanism is controlled by a shifting cylinder 11. When the transfer case is in neutral, the high / low gear engagement sleeve 27 is in the neutral position. Under the action of the shifting cylinder 11, the shift fork shaft 12 drives the shift fork 13, causing the high / low gear engagement sleeve 27 to move to the left and engage with the high gear 8 on the input shaft, completing the high gear shift. Similarly, under the action of the shifting cylinder 11, the shift fork shaft 12 drives the shift fork 13, causing the high / low gear engagement sleeve 27 to move to the right and engage with the low gear 9 on the input shaft, completing the high gear shift.

[0027] Typically, the shift cylinder 11 has three air passage interfaces, which correspond to the three gears of the transfer case: neutral 11a, high gear 11b, and low gear 11c.

[0028] In this embodiment, the shift cylinder 11 is provided with three air passage interfaces; the three gears of the transfer case, neutral, high gear and low gear, are controlled by three connectors, neutral interface 11a, high gear interface 11b and low gear 11c respectively. The shift cylinder 11 is used for shifting, which not only reduces the ease of shifting but also ensures the reliability of shifting.

[0029] Specifically, it also includes a front axle engagement mechanism, which includes a front axle engagement sleeve 16 and a front axle shift fork 14 that drives its movement. A front output shaft 15 is mounted on one side of the output shaft 5 in the gearbox housing 1. The front axle engagement sleeve 16 is fitted on the front output shaft 15, and the front axle shift fork 14 is mounted on the front axle engagement sleeve 16. The front axle engagement sleeve 16 is used to engage the front output shaft 15 with the output shaft 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, a front axle engagement mechanism is provided, which includes a front axle engagement sleeve 16 and a front axle shift fork 14 that drives its movement. When the rear wheel slips, the front axle engagement sleeve 16 can engage the front output shaft 15 and the output shaft 5, connecting the second power output end of the transfer case. Power is output through the front output shaft 15, ensuring that the off-road vehicle can pass smoothly.

[0031] In addition, the pressure lubricating oil pump includes an oil pump housing 19, an oil pump drive gear 20, an oil pump gear ring 21, and an oil pump cover 22.

[0032] In this embodiment, by providing a pressure lubricating oil pump, the gears and bearings can be forcibly lubricated, which can increase the service life of the gears and bearings by 2-3 times. Due to the use of the oil pump, the lubrication conditions are improved, and the size of the gears and bearings can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight and volume of the entire device.

[0033] In addition, the bearings supporting the input shaft 3, intermediate shaft 4 and output shaft 5 are tapered roller bearings.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bearings supporting the input shaft 3, intermediate shaft 4 and output shaft 5 are tapered roller bearings. The bearings adopt a full tapered bearing design, which reduces the wheelbase of the transmission and improves the meshing performance of the gears.

[0035] It should be noted that the intermediate shaft high gear 6, intermediate shaft low gear 7, input shaft high gear 8, and input shaft low gear 9 are all helical gears with large overlap and large helix angle.

[0036] In this embodiment, the intermediate shaft high gear 6, intermediate shaft low gear 7, input shaft high gear 8, and input shaft low gear 9 all adopt helical high gears with large overlap and large helix angle, resulting in a compact structure, smooth meshing, low noise, smooth transmission, and reduced transmission weight.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
