Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a crawler tractor. Background Art
[0002] Tractors can be divided into wheel type and crawler type according to the walking mode. Crawler type can be divided into full crawler and half crawler. Both types of tractors can be used in agriculture and animal husbandry for ploughing, sowing, intertillage, weeding, harvesting, transportation and other uses. Crawler type tractors are different from wheeled tractors. They are supported on the ground by a winding ring crawler track. The crawler track contacts the ground, the spurs are inserted into the soil, and the driving parts are not grounded. Under the action of driving torque, the driving wheel continuously rolls up the crawler track from the rear through the meshing between the gear teeth on the driving wheel and the track plate pin. The grounded part of the crawler track gives the ground a backward force, and the crawler track also gives a forward reaction force accordingly. The reaction force is the driving force that pushes the tractor forward. Compared with wheeled tractors, crawler tractors have a relatively small ground pressure, and are particularly suitable for soft ground and wasteland during operation. However, there are still some shortcomings in its use, as follows:
[0003] Traditional semi-track tractors are wheeled tractors with the rear axle removed and replaced with crawler tractors. However, the replacement operation requires professional technicians, and the replacement operation is relatively complicated, resulting in high replacement costs. At the same time, crawler tractors directly composed of crawlers cannot be transported over long distances due to the limitations of crawler transmission. They need an additional transport vehicle for transportation during operation, and they cannot run on hard ground for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause large-scale damage to the crawler, thereby increasing maintenance costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figure 1-6 A crawler tractor comprises a rear support shaft 1, a front support shaft 5, a power shaft 16, a gearbox 17, a diesel engine 18, a front wheel 19 and a fuselage, the front end of the power shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the gearbox 17, the front end of the gearbox 17 is fixedly connected to the diesel engine 18, the diesel engine 18 is fixedly mounted on the fuselage, the front wheel 19 is movably connected to the fuselage, the two ends of the rear support shaft 1 are movably sleeved with the rear support wheel 2, the two ends of the rear support shaft 1 and the outer side of the rear support wheel 2 are movably sleeved with a fixed connecting rod 3, the top of the fixed connecting rod 3 is movably connected with a driving shaft 4, the two ends of the rear support shaft 1 and the inner side of the rear support wheel 2 are movably sleeved with a rear conversion hydraulic rod 7, the top of the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 is movably sleeved with a middle shaft 9, the two ends of the front support shaft 5 are movably sleeved with There is a front supporting wheel 6, and another fixed connecting rod 3 is movably sleeved at both ends of the driving shaft 4 and located on the outside of the front supporting wheel 6, and the top of the other fixed connecting rod 3 is movably connected to the driving shaft 4, and a front conversion hydraulic rod 8 is movably sleeved at both ends of the front supporting shaft 5 and located on the inside of the front supporting wheel 6, and the top of the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 is movably connected to the middle shaft 9, and a transmission track wheel 10 is fixedly sleeved at both ends of the driving shaft 4, and a crawler track 11 is movably clamped at the top of the transmission track wheel 10, and the crawler track 11 is movably connected to the bottom of the rear supporting wheel 2 and the front supporting shaft 5 respectively, and a conversion device 13 is movably sleeved in the middle of the driving shaft 4 and the middle shaft 9 respectively, and a helical gear 14 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the power shaft 16, and the conversion device 13 is meshed with the helical gear 14, and rubber wheels 15 are fixedly installed at both ends of the middle shaft 9.
[0022] Among them, the rear support shaft 1 and the front support shaft 5, the rear support wheel 2 and the front support wheel 6, the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 have the same specifications and are symmetrically distributed with the middle axis 9 as the center. The rotation angle of the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 is 0-30 degrees. Through the extension and shortening of the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8, and with the cooperation of the fixed connecting rod 3, the angle between the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 is changed, so that the rear support wheel 2 and the front support wheel 6 are expanded to both sides and the height of the middle axis 9 is gradually reduced, so that the contact area between the crawler 11 and the bottom surface is gradually increased, thereby increasing the carrying capacity of the tractor and improving the tractor's towing ability. When the lowering height of the middle axis 9 reaches the limit, the rubber wheel 15 contacts the ground, and the crawler 11 gradually separates from the ground, thereby increasing the long-distance transportation capacity of the tractor and reducing transportation costs.
[0023] Among them, a limit block is fixedly installed on the right end of the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7, and the limit block is arc-shaped. When the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 rotate to a horizontal position, the limit blocks on the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 fit together and press against each other to prevent the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 from excessive rotation, causing the crawler 11 to contact the central axis 9, causing a safety hazard, thereby increasing the safety of the device.
[0024] Among them, the driving track wheel 10 includes a protection wheel 101 and a power transmission wheel 102. The protection wheel 101 is fixedly installed at both ends of the driving shaft 4. The driving shaft 4 has two groups, and each group has two. The power transmission wheel 102 is fixedly installed on the driving shaft 4 and is located in the middle of the protection wheel 101. The power transmission wheel 102 is engaged with the track 11. The power transmission wheel 102 drives the track 11 to rotate through the power transmission of the central shaft 9, providing the main power for the tractor to work and move. At the same time, the protection wheel 101 effectively provides support to prevent the track 11 from getting stuck with the power transmission wheel 102 when the shape of the track 11 changes, thereby increasing the safety of the device.
[0025] Among them, the conversion device 13 includes a transmission gear 131, a connecting ring 132 and a control hydraulic rod 133. The transmission gear 131 is movably sleeved on the driving shaft 4, the transmission gear 131 is meshed with the bevel gear 14, the transmission gear 131 is movably connected with the connecting ring 132, the connecting ring 132 is located on the right side of the transmission gear 131, and the control hydraulic rod 133 is fixedly installed on the body. The left end of the control hydraulic rod 133 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 132, and the extension and retraction of the control hydraulic rod 133 are controlled, so that the transmission gear 131 and the bevel gear 14 can be meshed and switched, thereby changing the power transmission of the tractor so that it has multiple operating modes.
[0026] Working principle: first, the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 are extended to spread the bottom of the crawler 11 to both sides until the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 are in a horizontal state. With the cooperation of the fixed connecting rod 3, the height of the middle shaft 9 is lowered, and the rubber wheel 15 is in contact with the ground, and the crawler 11 is separated from the bottom surface. At the same time, the control hydraulic rod 133 is used to disengage the transmission gear 131 on the middle shaft 9 from the bevel gear 14, and the transmission gear 131 on the driving shaft 4 is meshed with the bevel gear 14, so that the power transmitted by the diesel engine 18 is transmitted to the rubber wheel 15, and the tractor is transported over long distances to the work site. After reaching the location, the extension rods of the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 are retracted, so that the height of the middle shaft 9 rises, and the rubber wheel 15 is separated from the ground, and then the two conversion devices 13 are operated at the same time, so that the transmission gear 131 on the driving shaft 4 is separated from the bevel gear 14, and the transmission gear 131 on the middle shaft 9 is meshed with the bevel gear 14, and the power is transmitted to the transmission crawler wheel 10, which drives the crawler 11 to transmit and start working. When the tractor is working on a slippery ground and sinks into the ground, or the drag force is insufficient, the rear conversion hydraulic rod 7 and the front conversion hydraulic rod 8 are partially extended, so that the rubber wheel 15 and the crawler 11 contact the ground at the same time, thereby increasing the contact area with the bottom surface, and increasing the bearing capacity and reaction force.
