Abstract

A transmission structure of a gearbox of an electrically actuated car includes two front wheels, two rear wheels, and two gearboxes, wherein one gearbox is mounted between the two front wheels, and the other gearbox is mounted between the rear wheels. The transmission structure also includes a motor mounted between the two gearboxes. The motor has a power shaft having two distal ends each connected to a differential gear of each of the two gearboxes by means of a coupler, so as to form a four-wheel transmission mechanism.

Claims

1. A transmission structure of a gearbox of an electrically actuated car comprising:

two front wheels (21), two rear wheels (22), and two-gearboxes (23), one gearbox (23) mounted between said two front wheels (21), and the other gearbox (23) mounted between said rear wheels (22);

wherein,

said transmission structure further comprises a motor (24) mounted between said two gearboxes (23), said motor (24) has a power shaft (25) having two distal ends each connected to a differential gear (27) of each of said two gearboxes (23) by means of a coupler (26), so as to form a four-wheel transmission mechanism; and

said gearbox (23) includes a worm (31) having one end pivotally provided with a first gear (32) having a first inner ratchet tooth (37), and a second gear (33) having a second inner ratchet tooth (38), said first gear (32) has a number of teeth greater than that of said second gear (33), said one end of said worm (31) is provided with an outer ratchet tooth (34), a clutch gear (36) is slidably mounted on said one end of said worm (31) and is provided with a third inner ratchet tooth (39) meshing with said outer ratchet tooth (34) of said worm (31), said clutch gear (36) is driven by a handle (35) to move on said one end of said worm (31) to a first position where said clutch gear (36) meshes with said first inner ratchet tooth (37) of said first gear (32) having a relatively greater number of teeth, so that said worm (31) is rotated at a relatively lower rotational speed, and a second position where said clutch gear (36) meshes with said second inner ratchet tooth (38) of said second gear (33) having a relatively smaller number of teeth, so that said worm (31) is rotated at a relatively higher rotational speed, a first transmission gear (40) is secured on said power shaft (25) of said motor (24) to rotate therewith and meshes with said first gear (32) for rotating said first gear (32), a second transmission gear (41) is secured on said power shaft (25) of said motor (24) to rotate therewith and meshes with said second gear (33) for rotating said second gear (33).
