[0036] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] To solve the problem of poor steering flexibility of the current crawler walking mechanism, the present invention provides a walking steering control mechanism. Refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the walking steering control mechanism includes an intermediate shaft 1, a fixed disk 2, a moving disk 3, a walking input unit 4, a steering input unit 5, a walking output swing arm 6, and a fixed rod 7. Among them, the walking input unit 4 is connected to the fixed disk 2, and drives the fixed disk 2 to move in the up and down directions through the walking input unit 4. The steering input unit 5 is connected to the intermediate shaft 1, and drives the intermediate shaft 1 to rotate through the steering input unit 5. The fixed disk 2 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1. The fixed disk 2 includes a semi-circular lower fixed disk 21. The moving disk 3 is of a semi-circular structure, is combined with the lower fixed disk 21 to form a circle, and is rotatably connected to the lower fixed disk 21. One end of the fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the moving disk 3. The number of the walking output swing arms 6 is two, the two walking output swing arms 6 are arranged oppositely in the horizontal direction, and are both slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3. When the intermediate shaft 1 is in the original position, the two walking output swing arms 6 are respectively located at both ends of the lower fixed disk 21.

[0038] In the present application, the intermediate shaft 1 being in the original position specifically means that the intermediate shaft 1 is not rotated, that is, the walking steering control mechanism does not perform a steering operation.

[0039] In this application, it is preferred that the moving disk 3 is connected to the lower fixed disk 21 through a rotating shaft. Specifically, at the connection between the moving disk 3 and the lower fixed disk 21, mating connection holes are provided. By inserting the rotating shaft into the connection holes of the two in sequence, the two can rotate around the rotating shaft, realizing their rotational connection.

[0040] Specifically, the walking input unit 4 in this application is connected to the walking operation lever of the agricultural machine. When the driver pushes the walking operation lever, the walking input unit 4 drives the fixed disk 2 to move up and down. Since the intermediate shaft 1 is in its original position at this time, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the two walking output arms 6 are respectively located at both ends of the lower fixed disk 21, that is, the two walking output arms 6 are respectively located at the positions where the lower fixed disks 21 at both ends are joined with the moving disk 3. Also, since the moving disk 3 is rotationally connected to the lower fixed disk 21, at this time, when the fixed disk 2 moves up and down, it drives the intermediate shaft 1 and the lower fixed disk 21 to move up and down simultaneously. The end of the moving disk 3 joined with the lower fixed disk 21 also moves up and down, driving the symmetrically distributed walking output arms 6 at both ends to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the two walking output arms 6, the power output of two corresponding hydraulic motors is controlled to drive the two crawlers on both sides of the agricultural machine to rotate, realizing the machine's walking.

[0041] At this time, since one end of the fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1 and the other end is rotationally connected to the moving disk 3, and at the same time the moving disk 3 is also rotationally connected to the lower fixed disk 21, when the intermediate shaft 1 moves up and down, the end of the moving disk 3 connected to the lower fixed disk 21 moves up and down simultaneously, while the other end, that is, the end of the moving disk 3 far from the intermediate shaft 1, deflects, causing the moving disk 3 to form an inclined structure, that is, the height of the end of the moving disk 3 connected to the lower fixed disk 21 is different from the end far from the intermediate shaft 1.

[0042] The steering input unit 5 is connected to the steering operation lever of the agricultural machine. When the driver pushes the steering operation lever, the steering input unit 5 drives the intermediate shaft 1 to rotate. At this time, the intermediate shaft 1 deviates from its original position, and at the same time the intermediate shaft 1 drives the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 to rotate synchronously. Since the two walking output arms 6 are oppositely arranged at both ends of the lower fixed disk 21, and the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 are both semi-circular, at this time, one of the two walking output arms 6 is slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21, and the other is slidably connected to the moving disk 3. For the walking output arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21, since the lower fixed disk 21 is in a horizontal state, the state of this walking output arm 6 remains unchanged. For the walking output arm 6 slidably connected to the moving disk 3, since the moving disk 3 has a certain inclination angle, the height of this walking output arm 6 changes as the moving disk 3 rotates. Therefore, this walking output arm 6 swings, and as the swing angle of the steering operation lever increases in sequence, the swing trend of this walking output arm 6 is to gradually return to zero from the existing angle and then gradually increase in the reverse direction.

[0043] For example, assume the traveling speed of the agricultural machine is v1. When the steering operation lever swings at a small angle α1, the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 maintains the traveling speed of v1, and the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the moving disk 3 starts to decelerate. At this time, the agricultural machine performs differential steering with a relatively large turning radius. When the swinging angle of the steering operation lever increases to a certain larger angle α2, the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 maintains the traveling speed of v1, and the speed of the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the moving disk 3 is 0. At this time, the agricultural machine performs braking steering with a relatively small turning radius. When the swinging angle of the steering operation lever continues to increase to a certain even larger angle α3, the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 maintains the traveling speed of v1, and the speed of the crawler corresponding to the steering output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the moving disk 3 is -v1. At this time, the agricultural machine performs in-place steering with a turning radius of 0.

[0044] When the agricultural machine is in a stopped state, at this time both the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 are in a horizontal state, and the swinging angles of both walking output swing arms 6 are 0, and the agricultural machine stops moving. By controlling the steering operation lever, the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 rotate. Since both the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 are in a horizontal state, the heights of both walking output swing arms 6 do not change, and the swinging angles do not change either. The agricultural machine will neither move nor turn, so that when the agricultural machine is parked without turning off the engine, the steering operation lever cannot control the steering, preventing the danger caused by misoperation.

[0045] The walking steering control mechanism provided by the present invention has a simple structure and is convenient to operate. By using the semi-circular lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 to control the motion states of the two walking output swing arms 6, stepless change of the turning radius of the agricultural machine is realized. By changing the swinging angle of the operating steering lever, differential steering, braking steering, and in-place steering can be achieved, thereby expanding the application range of the agricultural machine and improving the flexibility of the steering operation.

[0046] The fixed disk 2 in this application further includes an upper fixed disk 22. The upper fixed disk 22 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1, and the lower end of the upper fixed disk 22 is fixedly connected to the lower fixed disk 21.

[0047] This application preferably uses the upper fixed disk 22 in a disk-shaped structure. The disk-shaped upper fixed disk 22 is sleeved outside the intermediate shaft 1 and fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1; see Figure 3As shown, the upper fixed disk 22 is located above the lower fixed disk 21, and the lower end of the upper fixed disk 22 is fixedly connected to the lower fixed disk 21. Specifically, in this application, it is preferred that the upper fixed disk 22 and the lower fixed disk 21 are fixedly connected through a connecting plate 23, so that the lower fixed disk 21 is connected to the intermediate shaft 1 through the upper fixed disk 22, enabling the lower fixed disk 21 to move up and down and rotate with the intermediate shaft 1. Furthermore, while the lower fixed disk 21 moves up and down and rotates with the intermediate shaft 1, the movement form of the walking output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 is controlled.

[0048] The connection manner between the upper fixed disk 22, the connecting plate 23, and the lower fixed disk 21 can be welding, threaded connection, fastener connection, etc. To improve the structural strength of the fixed disk 2, this application preferably makes the fixed disk 2 an integral structure, that is, the upper fixed disk 22, the connecting plate 23, and the lower fixed disk 21 are an integral structure.

[0049] Furthermore, in this application, the walking input unit 4 is connected to the upper fixed disk 22, so as to drive the upper fixed disk 22 to move up and down through the walking input unit 4, and then drive the intermediate shaft 1 and the lower fixed disk 21 to move up and down through the upper fixed disk 22.

[0050] The walking input unit 4 in this application includes a walking input swing arm 41, a walking input shaft 42, and a driving swing arm 43 connected in sequence. The walking input swing arm 41 is connected to the walking operation rod of the agricultural machine, and the driving swing arm 43 is connected to the upper fixed disk 22. When the driver pushes the walking operation rod, it drives the walking input swing arm 41 to swing. While the walking input swing arm 41 swings, it drives the walking input shaft 42 to rotate, and then drives the end of the driving swing arm 43 connected to the upper fixed disk 22 to move up and down through the rotation of the walking input shaft 42, thereby realizing driving the upper fixed disk 22 to move up and down through the walking input unit 4.

[0051] Furthermore, this application preferably makes the driving swing arm 43 slidably connected to the upper fixed disk 22, so as to avoid the position of the driving swing arm 43 from changing through the relative sliding between the driving swing arm 43 and the upper fixed disk 22 when the intermediate shaft 1 rotates, and further avoid the position of the walking input unit 4 from changing with the rotation of the intermediate shaft 1.

[0052] To achieve the sliding connection between the driving swing arm 43 and the upper fixed disk 22, this application preferably sets a third chute 221 on the outer side of the upper fixed disk 22. The driving swing arm 43 is connected to the upper fixed disk 22 through a first connecting shaft 44 and a first bearing 45. Specifically, one end of the first connecting shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the driving swing arm 43, and the other end is connected to the first bearing 45. At the same time, the first bearing 45 is arranged in the third chute 221, so as to avoid the position of the driving swing arm 43 from changing through the sliding of the first bearing 45 in the third chute 221 when the upper fixed disk 22 rotates.

[0053] Furthermore, in the present application, it is preferred that the first bearing 45 is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0054] The fixed rod 7 in the present application can be in a plate-like structure or a rod-like structure; specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, in the present application, it is preferred that one end of the fixed rod 7 is connected to the intermediate shaft 1 through a spline, and the other end is rotatably connected to the moving disk 3 through a bearing structure 71; specifically, a connecting ring 72 is provided at one end of the fixed rod 7 close to the intermediate shaft 1, and the connecting ring 72 is sleeved outside the intermediate shaft 1 and connected to the intermediate shaft 1 through a spline, so that when the intermediate shaft 1 moves up and down, the connecting ring 72 moves up and down synchronously with the intermediate shaft 1.

[0055] Furthermore, the bearing structure 71 in the present application includes a second connecting shaft 711 and a second bearing 712, and the second bearing 712 is connected to the second connecting shaft 711; the fixed rod 7 is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 711; an installation groove 31 is provided in the moving disk 3, and the second bearing 712 is installed in the installation groove 31.

[0056] Specifically, an installation hole is provided at one end of the fixed rod 7 close to the moving disk 3. By inserting the second connecting shaft 711 into the installation hole and the second bearing 712 in sequence, and at the same time installing the second bearing 712 in the installation groove 31, when the intermediate shaft 1 moves in the up and down direction, the end of the moving disk 3 connected to the lower fixed disk 21 moves up and down synchronously. At the same time, through the rotation of the second bearing 712, the height of the end of the moving disk 3 far from the intermediate shaft 1 remains unchanged, so that the moving disk 3 presents an inclined structure.

[0057] Furthermore, in the present application, it is preferred that the number of installation holes on the fixed rod 7 is two, so that when connecting, the second bearing 712 is located between the two installation holes to improve the stability of the installation structure; in the present application, a retaining ring is further provided on the second connecting shaft 711 to prevent the second connecting shaft 711 from coming out and further improve the reliability of the structure.

[0058] In the present invention, by fixedly connecting one end of the fixed rod 7 to the intermediate shaft 1 and rotatably connecting the other end to the moving disk 3, when the intermediate shaft 1 moves in the up and down direction, the moving disk 3 deflects and presents an inclined structure. Then, when the intermediate shaft 1 rotates, the walking output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the moving disk 3 swings. And as the swing angle of the steering operation lever increases in sequence, the swing trend of the walking output swing arm 6 is that it gradually returns to zero from the existing angle, and then gradually increases in the reverse direction. At the same time, since the lower fixed disk 21 is in the horizontal direction, the walking state of the other walking output swing arm 6 slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 remains unchanged. Therefore, the driver can control the steering mode by controlling the swing angle of the steering operation lever, improving the steering flexibility of the agricultural machinery.

[0059] To achieve the sliding connection of the walking steering output swing arm 6 with the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, a first sliding groove 211 is provided on the outer side of the lower fixed disk 21, and a second sliding groove 32 is provided on the outer side of the moving disk 3; the first sliding groove 211 communicates with the second sliding groove 32; the two walking output swing arms 6 are respectively slidably connected to the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3 through the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 32.

[0060] Specifically, preferably, the shapes and sizes of the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 32 are the same; further, a spherical slider 61 is provided at one end of the walking output swing arm 6 connected to the lower fixed disk 21 and the moving disk 3, and the slider 61 is adapted to the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 32, that is, when the intermediate shaft 1 rotates, the slider 61 can slide in the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 32; at the same time, the slider 61 in the present application is connected to the walking output swing arm 6 through a third bearing; and preferably, the third bearing is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0061] To reduce the difficulty of steering operation, preferably, the steering input unit 5 is connected to the intermediate shaft 1 through a gear structure 51.

[0062] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the steering input unit 5 includes a steering input swing arm 52; the gear structure 51 includes a first gear 511 and a second gear 512 that mesh with each other, wherein the first gear 511 is connected to the intermediate shaft 1, one end of the steering input swing arm 52 is connected to the steering operation lever of the agricultural machine, and the other end is connected to the second gear 512; when the driver pushes the steering operation lever, the steering input swing arm 52 drives the intermediate shaft 1 to rotate through the mutually meshing first gear 511 and second gear 512.

[0063] In addition, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the walking steering control mechanism provided in the present application further includes a box body 9, wherein the intermediate shaft 1, the fixed disk 2, the moving disk 3, the walking input unit 4, the walking output swing arm 6 and the fixed rod 7 are all arranged in the box body 9, and the intermediate shaft 1, the walking input unit 4 and the walking output swing arm 6 are all connected to the box body 1 through bearings.

[0064] To achieve automatic reset after steering, the walking steering control mechanism provided in the present application further includes a reset structure 8; refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the reset structure 8 is connected to the steering input unit 5 so that after the steering is completed, the input unit 5 can be reset through the reset structure 8, and then the intermediate shaft 1 connected to the steering input unit 5 can return to its original position. At the same time, the two walking output swing arms 6 return to the position where the lower fixed disk 21 is connected to the moving disk 3 to achieve reset.

[0065] Specifically, the reset structure 8 includes a reset spring. One end of the reset spring is connected to the box body 9, and the other end is connected to the steering input unit 5. When the steering input unit 5 rotates, the reset spring deforms. When the force on the steering input unit 5 is released, the reset spring returns to its original length under the action of elastic force. At this time, driven by the reset spring, the steering input unit 5 is reset, and then the intermediate shaft 1 is reset.
