Background
In the field of vehicle design, reducing the turning radius of the vehicle as much as possible is an important aspect for improving the performance of the vehicle, after several generations of efforts are made, special mechanisms and operating modes are developed at present to enable the vehicle to realize the in-situ steering function, the running performance of the vehicle is greatly improved, but some structures are too complex to popularize, and some structures still have a large performance improving space.
Fig. 1 shows a vehicle main driver with left and right half shafts capable of rotating in opposite directions, which is disclosed in patent CN101559714a, and provides a vehicle main driver with left and right half shafts capable of rotating in opposite directions, and the vehicle main driver mainly comprises a driving gear, a driven gear, a differential mechanism, a differential case, a main driver housing, a tooth type sleeve, left and right half shafts, an actuating mechanism and the like, wherein planetary gears in the differential mechanism can realize that the left and right half shafts are transmitted to left and right driving wheels in a mode of identical angular speeds but opposite directions, so that approximate or complete in-situ steering of a vehicle is realized. In the scheme, if the rotation direction of the driving gear is not changed, the in-situ steering of one direction of the vehicle can only be realized, and the in-situ steering of the opposite direction requires a manual control mechanism to change the rotation direction of the driving gear, so that the control mode is inconvenient, and misoperation is easy to occur.
Fig. 2 shows a vehicle main driver disclosed in patent CN204055355U, which is an improved design based on patent CN101559714a, and replaces the mechanical mechanism of the scheme of fig. 1 with two sets of electromagnetic clutches to realize switching of driving modes, but the problem in the patent of fig. 1 is still not solved, and the vehicle main driver can only realize in-situ steering in one direction when the rotation direction of the driving gear is not changed.
As shown in fig. 3, a drive axle for a straight-running locking type left-right reverse crawler vehicle disclosed in patent CN104787116B mainly comprises a transmission, a drive axle housing, left-right brakes, left-right driving wheels, a forward-reverse differential, a straight-running locking shaft and other components. The differential mechanism can realize the differential steering of the left and right tracks of the vehicle and the forward and reverse steering of the left and right tracks by operating the left brake shifting fork or the right brake shifting fork, and the differential mechanism is forcedly locked in normal operation, so that the differential mechanism has no differential function, is suitable for vehicles with track chassis, and is not suitable for road vehicles running at high speed.
In summary, the existing vehicle main transmission has the following defects:
(1) The reverse rotation of the unilateral output shaft can only be realized when the rotation direction of the drive bevel gear is unchanged, namely the vehicle can only realize the in-situ steering in one direction, the in-situ steering in the opposite direction is realized by changing the rotation direction of the drive bevel gear, the operation mode is inconvenient, misoperation is easy to occur, and the driver does not have a differential function during in-situ steering.
(2) The differential speed function is not provided, and the differential speed control device is only suitable for a transmission system of a crawler chassis and cannot be suitable for road vehicles running at high speed.

When the left and right in-situ steering modes are switched, the power input of the drive bevel gear 101 is only required to be cut off temporarily, so that the drive bevel gear is kept still, the steering is not required to be changed, and the switching of the left and right in-situ steering modes is realized only through the linkage control of the middle separation shifting fork and the locking shifting fork of the left and right commutator assemblies, so that the mode switching is convenient and flexible.
