Abstract
A disconnect module for engaging/disengaging a first shaft with a first component includes a connecting shaft arranged coaxially with the first shaft, one end of which is rotatably supported on the first shaft, and the other end connected to the first component, and a sliding sleeve on outer sides of the first shaft and the connecting shaft. The sliding sleeve is rotatably connected to the first shaft and can reciprocate axially by an axial distance to engage/disengage from the connecting shaft and includes a circumferential groove open to the outside. The module also includes a motor, a speed reducer connected to the motor and including an output shaft, and a drive block connected to the output shaft and extending into the circumferential groove and driven by the speed reducer to rotate, thereby driving the sliding sleeve to reciprocate axially. A mechanical position-limiting mechanism is provided on the output shaft.
