Abstract:
A gearbox structure of a beach cycle comprising:a gearbox for transmitting a power of an engine through a CVT gear shift to a power shaft which is fitted with a propeller shaft, said power shaft and said propeller shaft directly meshing with each other through a reduction gear and change gears mounted on a gear shift shaft, and through steering gears mounted on a steering shaft, said change gears including a backward used change gear, and a forward used change gear, said propeller shaft provided with a forward used drive gear meshing with said forward used change gear, said gear shift shaft having an outer periphery formed with outer splines, a first clutch slidably mounted on said outer splines of said gear shift shaft, said first clutch formed with locking blocks engaged with locking blocks formed on said change gears, so that said first clutch can be shifted by a gear shift device into a neutral position, a reverse gear position and a forward gear position, said gear shift device including a gear lever which rotates a sector-shaped gear which meshes and rotates a gear shift cam shaft which is formed with a first slot having a track variation for driving a first gear shift drive fork which drives and shifts said first clutch to said neutral position, said reverse gear position, and said forward gear position, said gearbox provided with a positioning spring, and a positioning ball, said gear shift cam shaft formed with positioning recesses each mating with a respective gear position and each co-operating with said positioning spring, and said positioning ball, so that said gear shift cam shaft can be rotated to a correct gear position; wherein, said gear shift shaft is provided with a force increase used change gear, said propeller shaft is provided with a force increase used drive gear meshing with said force increase used change gear, said gear shift cam shaft is formed with a second slot having a track variation for driving a second gear shift drive fork which drives and shifts a second clutch to a force increase gear position where said second clutch meshes with and rotates said force increase used change gear which meshes with and rotates said force increase used drive gear, so that said power of said engine is transmitted through said reduction gear and said force increase used change gear of said gear shift shaft to said force increase used drive gear of said propeller shaft.
