DRUM-TYPE TRANSMISSION DEVICE
A parking lock mechanism of the drum-type transmission device comprises a parking gear that is provided on the transmission shaft, a parking operation arm which is selectively operated between a lock position engaging with the parking gear and an unlock position away from the parking gear, a parking release spring for urging the operation arm toward the unlock position, and a parking pushing member which is positioned at a lock position by pushing the operation arm according to the rotation of the drum member from the shift position or the neutral position to the parking position. One end of the transmission operation shaft is located near the operation arm. At one end of the shift operation shaft, there is provided an arm restraining portion that can urge the operation arm toward the unlock position when the drum member is moved from the parking position to the shift position or the neutral position.
PARKING BRAKE ACTUATION SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A parking brake actuation system mounted to a tail shaft of a vehicle's transmission is operably connected to a brake assembly of the vehicle having brake pads housed within a brake drum. The parking brake actuation system includes a mounting bracket coupled to the tail shaft of the vehicle's transmission, an actuator coupled to the mounting bracket, and a bell crank coupled to the tail shaft of the vehicle's transmission and the actuator, and also connected to an engagement cam by a linkage assembly. Actuation of the actuator to a retracted position permits rotational movement of the bell crank to transfer through the linkage assembly to engage the pair of brake pads with the brake drum. Actuation of the actuator to an extended position permits rotational movement of the bell crank to transfer through the linkage assembly to disengage the pair of brake pads from the brake drum.

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing is operationally coupled to the shift actuator and a linear clutch actuator. The linear clutch actuator is a self-adjusting actuator, and the transmission includes a self-adjusting clutch.
Electric drive axle assembly and vehicle having the same
An electric drive axle assembly and a vehicle having the same are provided. The electric drive axle assembly includes: an electric powertrain, an axle housing assembly, and a central parking module. The electric powertrain includes a power motor, a transmission and a differential with an input end and two output ends; and the power motor is connected to the input end of the differential through the transmission. The axle housing assembly includes an axle housing component and two half axles; the two half axles and the differential are disposed in the axle housing component; the two half axles are connected to the two output ends of the differential respectively; and the electric powertrain is installed on the axle housing component. The central parking module is installed on the axle housing component and used for braking the input end of the differential.

Handcart
A handcart may include a chassis unit and a container unit configured to be detachably attached to the chassis unit. The chassis unit may include a front wheel unit rotatably supporting a front wheel; a rear wheel unit rotatably supporting a rear wheel; a chassis frame extending in a front-rear direction and supporting the front and rear wheel units; and a prime mover configured to rotate at least one of the front wheel and the rear wheel as a drive wheel. The container unit may be selected from a group including at least a first container unit and a second container unit. The first container unit may include a first container and a first container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the first container. The second container unit may include a second container and a second container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the second container.
