Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tractors, and in particular to a tractor with a serialized hood and a cab and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When designing tractors, there are significant differences in the designs of hoods and cabs for models with different horsepower platforms. The lack of top-level planning leads to repeated designs of tractors with different horsepower platforms, and the commonality of parts on each platform is poor, which is not conducive to reducing parts costs.

[0003] Tractor hoods are complex structures and are often molded, resulting in high product value and long design and development cycles. Existing tractor hood designs lack a unified plan for hoods on different platforms, resulting in significant variations in hood form and an inability to universally apply structural solutions. This results in a long design and development cycle for each tractor model, high investment costs, and low development efficiency.

[0004] The tractor cab has many related assemblies and many factors that affect changes. The existing tractor products have poor universal design, low universality of the cab subsystems, subassemblies, and parts, and non-universal tooling and fixtures. This leads to repeated design and repeated investment in tractor cabs for different platforms, and low efficiency in cab design, development, production, and assembly.

[0005] Most of the existing technologies are structural designs of tractor hoods, cabs and other systems, focusing on the structural design and innovation of a single specific model system and components, and lacking design methods and structural design solutions for a series of tractor hoods and cabs.

[0006] The existing tractor hoods and cabs have the following shortcomings: (1) Existing tractor hoods and cabs only involve the structural design of a specific single product, lacking a top-level planning design for a series of tractors and no series structural design scheme. (2) Due to the differences in engine structures of products on different platforms, the existing tractor hood structural design is only targeted at specific models. The hood structural schemes of tractors on different platforms are inconsistent, resulting in low design efficiency. (3) Existing tractor cabs have poor cross-platform universality and a lot of repeated designs. Summary of the Invention

These are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and do not require that the present invention be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. The terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the description of the present invention refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] like Figures 1 to 33 As shown, the present invention discloses a tractor with a serialized hood and cab, and the corresponding model of the hood and cab is configured according to the model of the tractor; the hood includes a hood body and a front face that are detachably connected, and the hood body includes a top cover 1 and side panels 1 2 and 3 welded to both sides of the top cover 1; the cab includes a left side panel assembly 18 and a right side panel assembly 20, and the rear ends of the left side panel assembly 18 and the right side panel assembly 20 are both provided with variable straight sections, and the variable straight sections of the left side panel assembly 18 and the variable straight sections of the right side panel assembly 20 are connected; the front ends of the left side panel assembly 18 and the right side panel assembly 20 are connected by multiple front cross beams 19, and the middle part of one of the front cross beams 19 is provided with fixed installation sections 19, 21 for installing an instrument panel 24.

[0076] The hood designed in this application includes a detachably connected hood body and a hood front face. By molding hood bodies and hood front faces of different sizes, it can match engines of different sizes; the cab adopts a pillar-form design concept, and cabs of different widths can be produced through variable straight sections at the rear ends of the left side panel assembly and the right side panel assembly. The fixed installation section designed on the front crossbeam can adapt to the installation of the instrument panel, so that the cab can adapt to different models of tractors; the hood and cab of this application can be configured on different models of tractors, realizing the universality of the hood and cab and improving design efficiency.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, the design and structure of the hood are as follows: Based on market research information, competitive benchmarking information and product market positioning, the hood structure block form is determined in combination with the tractor family modeling, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hood structure of the present invention is divided into a top cover 1, a side panel 1 2, a side panel 2 3, a side mesh panel 1 4, a side mesh panel 2 5, a lampshade 6, a front mesh panel 7, and a side panel connecting plate 8.

[0078] According to the system layout plan, combined with the changes in the peripheral parts of the hood of the series tractor, the size changes of each part of the hood are determined, such as Figure 4As shown, the main dimensional changes of the top cover 1 are width and length, the dimensional changes of side panels 1 2 and 2 3 are length and height, the dimensional changes of the front mesh panel 7 are height and width, and the dimensional changes of the side panel connecting panel 8 are width. Based on the dimensional changes of each component, a universal and modular structural design strategy for the hood was developed to guide the detailed design of the hood structure of specific models.

[0079] According to the functional requirements of the tractor hood, a preliminary hood structure plan is formulated. The hood needs to meet the tractor engine protection, maintenance functions (rotate to open), and air intake sealing functions. Based on the above tractor hood functional requirements, the hood back structure is designed as follows Figure 5 As shown, the hood top cover includes rear reinforcement ribs 9, and the hood rotation axis mounting structure 15 is welded to the top cover rear reinforcement ribs 9. The main function of the top cover rear reinforcement ribs 9 is to increase the structural strength of the hood top cover rear and ensure the strength and stability of the hood during the hood opening and rotation process.

[0080] It also includes a middle reinforcement rib 10 on the hood top cover, and a gas spring mounting bracket 13 for opening the hood is welded to the middle reinforcement rib 10 on the top cover. The main function of the middle reinforcement rib 10 on the top cover is to increase the strength of the middle part of the hood top cover and ensure the strength of the welding position of the gas spring mounting bracket 13.

[0081] The hood also includes front ribs 11, which primarily increase the strength of the front hood top cover and serve as a location for attaching the front hood sealing sponge. Side panel front ribs 12, which are the front ribs of side panels 1 and 2, 3, primarily increase the structural strength of the front hood side panels and provide mounting interfaces for the sealing strips on both sides of the front hood. Component 14, the rear hood side panel reinforcement ribs, primarily increase the structural strength of the rear hood side panels and, together with component 9, form the rear hood reinforcement ring, ensuring the overall structural strength of the rear end of the hood.

[0082] Figure 6 The various blocks and structural combinations of the hood are displayed, providing a structural basis for the detailed design of the hood structure of subsequent specific tractor models.

[0083] Figure 7 This is a detailed structural design scheme for the hood of a medium-horsepower tractor. The structure includes all the basic structural forms mentioned above, and adds specific detailed structures. The tractor ridge mark 1.3 is set at the center of the top surface of the top cover 1 to provide the driver with a centering reference. The mesh panel 1.2 on the top of the hood is set at the front of the top cover to increase the air intake area at the front of the hood and ensure the air intake and heat dissipation efficiency. The rear mesh panel 3.1 of the side panel is set at the rear end of the side panel to meet the side heat dissipation requirements; the front mesh panel 3.2 of the side panel is set at the front end of the side panel to increase the front air intake area; the hood lock rod opening 3.3 also serves as a fixing hole for the hood electrophoresis. In some embodiments, it also includes a brand logo 6.1 and a decorative bright strip 6.2.

[0084] Figure 8 The detailed structure of the hood top cover 1 is shown in FIG. The top cover rear reinforcement rib 9, the top cover middle reinforcement rib 10 and the top cover front reinforcement rib 11 are fixed by welding + gluing. Figure 9 The middle hood rotating shaft mounting structure 15 is welded and fixed to the reinforcement rib 9 at the rear of the top cover; Figure 10 The mounting bracket 13 for the central hood opening gas spring is welded to the central reinforcement rib 10 of the top cover. The central reinforcement rib 10 of the top cover is designed with double mounting holes. The fixing holes can be replaced according to the actual installation status to facilitate gas spring adjustment. The central reinforcement rib 10 of the top cover and the front reinforcement rib 11 of the top cover have similar structures and have different installation direction requirements. Figure 11 As shown, the top cover middle reinforcement rib 10 is added with error-proofing features 10.1, such as a central circular groove and different forms of glue grooves on both sides for distinguishing the top cover middle reinforcement rib 10 of the component; Figure 11 The correct orientation of the parts, with the adhesive groove pointing toward the front of the vehicle, facilitates identification and prevents incorrect assembly. The anti-error feature 10.1 and the angled adhesive groove design allow for quick installation of the top cover center reinforcement rib 10 and the top cover front reinforcement rib 11.

[0085] Figure 12 The hood is a structure that matches the top cover and the side panels. The top cover and the side panels are welded together by flanging the edges of the matching positions. The rear of the hood is welded to the top cover rear reinforcement rib 9 and the side panel rear reinforcement rib 14 through the connector 17 (see the detailed diagram). Figure 15 ), a reinforcement ring is formed at the rear end of the hood to ensure the strength of the rear end of the hood.

[0086] Specifically, connector 17 comprises an integrally formed upper and lower connecting portion, with connecting plates on either side. During connection, the top cover 1 is aligned with the flanges of the side panels, and the flanges are weakened at the joint to ensure secure installation of connector 17. The upper connecting portion is welded to the top cover's rear reinforcement rib 9, and the lower connecting portion is welded to the side panel reinforcement rib 14, achieving a complete connection.

[0087] The upper end of the gas spring mounting bracket 13 is welded to the middle reinforcement rib 10 of the top cover, and the lower end is welded to the side plate of the hood to strengthen the connection strength between the two parts. The hood top seal 11.1 is pasted on the front reinforcement rib 11 of the top cover and the hood side seal 12.2 and the lower sealing strip 8.1 (see Figure 7 ) form the front hood sealing ring to ensure the front hood sealing performance. Top seal 11.1 adopts a sealing sponge design, and side seal 12.2 can be in the form of a sealing strip.

[0088] The reinforcement 12.1 is a reinforcement for the front rib 12 of the hood side panel, which strengthens the sealing strip installation flange rigidity, avoids deformation, and ensures the sealing effect of the sealing strip. The front mesh panel 3.2 of the hood side panel is fixed to the side panel through the gluing process, eliminating the mounting bracket and simplifying the fixing structure. The matching structure is shown in Figure 13 The rear mesh panel 3.1 of the hood side panel is fixed by gluing and screws 3.4, simplifying the fixing structure. The screws 3.4 ensure that the mesh panel fits the hood side panel. See the structural form for details. Figure 14 .

[0089] like Figure 16 The front face of the hood is composed of the side mesh panel 1 4, the side mesh panel 2 5, the lampshade 6 and the front mesh panel 7. The side mesh panel 1 4, the side mesh panel 2 5 and the front mesh panel 7 are connected and fixed by screws to form an integral mesh panel. The lampshade 6 is also fixed to the assembly by screws to form an integral body. The integral body is welded to the fixing brackets on the hood side panel 1 2, the side panel 2 3 and the top cover 1 ( Figure 12 、 Figure 17 ) is fixed to the hood with screws. Specifically, side mesh panel 1 (4) is connected to the mesh panel fixing bracket welded to the front of top cover (1) and the mesh panel fixing bracket welded to the front of side panel 2 (3) via screws. Side mesh panel 2 (5) is connected to the mesh panel fixing bracket welded to the front of top cover (1) and the mesh panel fixing bracket welded to the front of side panel 1 (2) via screws. The top end of front mesh panel 7 is connected to the mesh panel fixing bracket welded to the front of top cover (1) via screws.

[0090] Figure 17 The left and right fixing brackets 6.4 and 6.5 are fixed to the connection position of the side mesh panel 1 4 and the side mesh panel 2 5 and the front mesh panel 7, serving as the fixing structure of the middle fixing bracket 6.3 of the lens headlight. The middle fixing bracket 6.3 is fixed to the front mesh panel 7 at the middle position through the connecting bracket 6.6. Figure 19 The middle fixed bracket 6.3, the left fixed bracket 6.4 and the right fixed bracket 6.5 form a "W" structure. This structural form can effectively enhance the overall strength and ensure the stability of the lens headlight fixed on the middle fixed bracket 6.3.

[0091] In some embodiments, the brand logo 6.1 (the mounting surface is a curved surface) is composed of three similar trapezoidal blocks. Since the three parts are not interchangeable but have similar shapes and are easily misinstalled, the present invention has designed an anti-misinstallation structure. Each module is designed with a mounting structure of a different shape and matching mounting holes to ensure the independence of each structure, completely avoid misinstallation, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0092] The series tractor design method is used, according to the planned hood structure form, after completing a hood design, other model hoods of the series tractor can be quickly designed according to the hood structure scheme, and the design efficiency is improved.The invention shows the design structure of the medium-power tractor hood in detail, and another small-power tractor hood is completed based on the structure, Figure 21 For the comparison of the two tractor hoods.

[0093] The cab structure and design process of the invention are as follows: similarly, based on market research information, competitor benchmarking information and product market positioning, the invention determines the structure form of the series tractor cab as a six-column form and performs module division, as shown in Figure 22 , including a left side wall assembly 18, a right side wall assembly 20, a front cross beam 19, a rear cross beam 21, a lower side connecting beam one 22 and a lower side connecting beam two 23.

[0094] Based on the previous series tractor arrangement scheme, the functional requirements and change forms of the cab of each platform tractor are determined, and a cab modularization generalization strategy is developed. Figure 23 The cab skeleton modularization strategy of the invention is shown, the cab left side wall assembly 18 and the cab right side wall assembly 20 are used as series cab skeleton general modules, the door interface and the side wall mounting interface remain unchanged, so that the cab left and right side wall interfaces are consistent, and the different platform cab skeleton bending pipe mold, welding tooling and cab door, side window and other components are all general.

[0095] As shown in Figure 23 , the change between different platforms of the cab is the width direction change, the cab skeleton left side wall assembly 18 and the right side wall assembly 20 are provided with variable parts at the rear to adapt to the width change of the cab, the variable part is designed as a straight section, the length change of this part does not affect the bending pipe mold, welding tooling and clamp, only the length of the profile needs to be changed, so as to ensure the consistency of the related interfaces and realize the generalization.

[0096] The front cross beam one 19.1 and the front cross beam two 19.2 are the front cross beams of the cab, the front cross beam one 19.1 is connected to the upper part of the front end of the left side wall assembly 18 and the right side wall assembly 20, the front cross beam two 19.2 is connected to the lower part of the middle of the front end of the left side wall assembly 18 and the right side wall assembly 20, and the length needs to be adjusted according to the width change of the cab skeleton, in order to ensure the generalization of the instrument desk interface, the unchanged installation section 19.21 of the front cross beam 19.2 is designed, that is, the width direction change of the front cross beam 19.2 keeps the area unchanged, reducing the influence of the width change of the cross beam on the instrument desk.

[0097] Based on the generalization requirement, the invention designs a general instrument desk for the cab, which can match different configuration requirements. Figure 24-26As shown in the figure, the same platform tractor is available in two configurations: a cab and a convertible. The instrument panel in the cab configuration has a rectangular crossbeam, while the instrument panel in the convertible configuration has a round crossbeam, resulting in inconsistent matching interfaces. To ensure universal instrument panels and reduce mold investment, two interface inserts were designed into the instrument panel injection mold, allowing the production of both interface instrument panels using one mold.

[0098] Figure 27 The middle part 25 is the outer roof of the cab. Due to the change in cab width, in order to ensure the consistency and versatility of the outer roof structure, the outer roof structure is designed to ensure that the middle part has the same structure, and the width of the two sides varies to adapt to the change in cab width. Figure 27 As shown, according to different configurations, a universal installation structure is designed in the middle of the outer top, which can match the two configurations of air conditioner and heater. The structural dimensions here remain unchanged, realizing the universality of the inspection cover 26. Figure 28 In order to match the two states of air conditioning and no air conditioning, an air conditioning pipe sealing sleeve 25.1 is designed.
