Drive block 4 is anti-torsion set relative to drive motor 1. The fork 5 is provided on the outer surface of the drive block 4.

[0018] As can be seen in this embodiment, a driver 3 is provided on one side of the drive motor 1. The driver 3 includes a drive spindle 2 and a drive block 4. The drive spindle 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 1 to realize direct power transmission. The drive block 4 is coupled to the drive spindle 2 and can move linearly along the drive spindle 2. At the same time, the drive block 4 is anti-torsion set relative to the drive motor 1 to ensure that the drive block 4 only moves axially and in a precise direction. A shift fork 5 is mounted on the outer surface of the drive block 4. The linear movement of the drive block 4 drives the shift fork 5 to move, thereby realizing the engagement and disengagement of the clutch.

[0019] Example 2: This embodiment provides a clutch shift fork shaft, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0020] The drive block 4 is cylindrical and is sleeved on the outer surface of the drive spindle 2. The drive block 4 is connected to the drive motor to prevent torsion through a limiting component.

[0021] As can be seen from this embodiment, the drive block 4 is made of wear-resistant cast iron or engineering plastic (PEEK reinforced material). The drive block 4 is preferably cylindrical and is sleeved on the outer surface of the drive spindle 2. The drive block 4 forms an anti-torsion connection with the drive motor 1 through the limiting component. The structure is compact and easy to assemble.

[0022] Example 3: This embodiment provides a clutch shift fork shaft, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0023] The drive block 4 is provided with an internal thread 6, and the drive spindle 2 is provided with an external thread 7.

The drive block 4 achieves coupling transmission with the drive spindle 2 through the rolling of the ball 8 in the internal thread 6 and the external thread 7. In order to prevent the ball 8 from falling off or getting stuck, a ball circulation channel (not shown) is opened on the inner wall of the drive block 4. The channel cross-section is semi-circular, and the channel diameter is slightly larger than the ball diameter to ensure that the ball 8 can circulate smoothly. This structure adopts the ball screw transmission principle to convert the rotational motion of the drive spindle 2 into the linear motion of the drive block 4. The frictional resistance is small, the transmission efficiency is high, and the wear is small, effectively extending the service life.

Several limiting strips 10 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the connecting ring 9 to form an anti-torsion guide structure. The limiting ring 11 is fixedly set on the outer wall of the drive block 4 near the connecting ring 9 and moves synchronously with the drive block 4. Several limiting grooves 12 are evenly opened on the circumference of the limiting ring 11 and are adapted to the limiting strips 10 one by one. The limiting strips 10 are embedded in the limiting grooves 12 to restrict the rotational movement of the drive block 4 and only allow it to move linearly along the axial direction.

[0029] Shift fork 5 includes: Arm 13; The shift fork arm 15 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the arm body 13. A shift fork shaft seat 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the arm body 13; A fixing component is provided between the shift fork shaft seat 14 and the drive block 4.

[0030] As can be seen from this embodiment, the arm body 13 is the main structure of the shift fork 5, which is used to transmit driving force. The shift fork arms 15 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the arm body 13 for cooperating with the clutch actuator. The shift fork shaft seat 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the arm body 13 for connecting the shift fork 5 and the drive block 4.

The first sleeve plate 16 and the second sleeve plate 17 are sleeved on the outer wall of the drive block 4.

[0033] As can be seen from this embodiment, the shift fork shaft seat 14 is composed of a first sleeve plate 16, a second sleeve plate 17 and a connecting plate 18.

[0036] As can be seen in this embodiment, the fixing hole 19 is opened on the connecting plate 18 and extends into the drive block 4, providing an installation channel for the fixing bolt 20. The fixing bolt 20 is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 19. An anti-loosening washer is provided between the fixing bolt 20 and the connecting plate 18. The anti-loosening washer is a spring washer. The initial fixing of the shift fork shaft seat 14 and the drive block 4 is achieved by tightening the fixing bolt 20. The elastic plate 21 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 18 and has a certain elastic deformation capability. The limiting plate 22 is fixedly set on the side of the two elastic plates 21 that are close to each other. The deformation of the elastic plate 21 drives the limiting plate 22 to move synchronously. The limiting opening 23 is opened at both ends of the drive block 4 and is adapted to the limiting plate 22. During assembly, the limiting plate 22 is embedded in the limiting opening 23 under the elastic force of the elastic plate 21, forming a secondary limiting fixation. This fixing component, through the double fixing structure of "bolt fixing + elastic limiting", ensures that the shift fork 5 and the drive block 4 are firmly connected, avoids loosening or displacement during high-frequency operation, and improves transmission accuracy and structural reliability.

[0037] Example 8: This embodiment provides a clutch shift fork shaft, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0038] The outer surfaces of the arm body 13, the shift fork arm 15, and the shift fork shaft seat 14 are all coated with an anti-rust layer.

[0039] As can be seen from this embodiment, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and service life of the shift fork 5, the outer surfaces of the arm body 13, the shift fork arm 15 and the shift fork shaft seat 14 are all coated with an anti-rust layer. The anti-rust layer can be made of materials such as zinc plating, chrome plating or anti-corrosion coating, which can effectively resist the corrosion of the external environment.

[0040] Working principle: After the drive motor 1 starts, its output end drives the drive spindle 2 to rotate synchronously. Since the drive block 4 forms an anti-torsion constraint with the drive motor 1 through the limiting component, the rotational motion of the drive spindle 2 is converted into linear motion of the drive block 4 along the axial direction of the drive spindle 2 through the rolling transmission of the balls 8 between the internal thread 6 and the external thread 7. The drive block 4 drives the shift fork 5 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously and linearly. The shift fork 5 drives the clutch actuator through the shift fork arm 15, thereby realizing the engagement and disengagement of the clutch.
