Transmission method and device for free wheel of differential mechanism

When a differential half shaft 11 on one side is not stressed due to slipping or suspension, and rotation of a differential shell 1 serves as input to drive a first planetary gear 12 and a second planetary gear 3 to revolve, the first planetary gear 12 and the second planetary gear 3 drive an inner gear ring 5 on a half shaft on the other side to rotate in the same direction. Due to the fact that the first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 are fixedly connected and coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the inner gear ring 5 is far larger than that of the half shaft bevel gear 13, the differential mechanism shell 1 rotates to enable the inner gear ring 5, the first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 on the other side to rotate, and the first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 are driven to rotate. The first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 are evenly distributed, force generated by locking of the inner gear ring 5 only pushes the second planet bevel gear 7 to rotate, and the direction of the force at the meshing position of the first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 is the same as the rotating direction of the differential shell 1, so that the first planet bevel gear 8 and the second planet bevel gear 7 are in a locked state, and then the differential shell 1 is released. Therefore, the defect of a single cantilever of a free wheel in a free wheel type antiskid differential mechanism is overcome, and the whole structure is more durable.
