Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery, and particularly relates to a tractor and a lift for a tractor. Background Art

[0002] In order to lift, lower or maintain the position of the implements suspended behind the tractor, the intelligence, stability, high efficiency and low cost of the lift, which is part of the tractor components, are relatively important requirements. The existing electronically controlled lift generally controls the reciprocating motion of the hydraulic cylinder through an electronically controlled valve by an electronic controller, so as to control the lifting, lowering and maintaining the position of the lifting arm of the farm implement. However, the existing electronically controlled lifts are either too costly or their stability and efficiency do not meet the requirements of tractor use, and they are prone to become the short board of the tractor operation efficiency. Therefore, on the basis of ensuring high stability and high efficiency, a lift with relatively low cost has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

However, its stability and efficiency need to be improved. The Chinese invention patent application publication text CN113446281A discloses a lift distributor for a tractor. By specifically setting the inside of the distributor, a stable connection between the oil supply pipeline and the oil port is achieved without increasing the space of the distributor.

[0038] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0039] 1. By specifically setting the distributor and pulling the spool of the distributor by the motor, the movement speed of the lifter under different loads can be controlled at a lower cost, different weight implements can be adapted, different lifting and lowering speeds can be achieved, and it has a high level of intelligence. The lifter also has a floating function, that is, when the spool of the distributor moves to the floating position, the hydraulic oil can freely flow in and out of the oil cylinder, and the position of the oil cylinder follows the external load. At the same time, by defining the size of the one-way spool, a higher tolerance for the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil is ensured.

[0040] 2. By specifically setting the structure of the hydraulic lock, especially the specific cooperation setting of the ejector rod with the seal body, check valve seat, and check valve core, the present invention can effectively maintain the lifter and the implement in the current position. At the same time, it reduces the force required to open the check valve, indirectly reducing the power requirement for the lifting motor. Based on the fact that the traditional check valve can only allow oil to flow in one direction, the switching between one-way oil flow and two-way oil flow can be achieved at a relatively low cost.

[0041] 3. The present invention is provided with a distributor spool composed of a plurality of large cylindrical surfaces and a plurality of small cylindrical surfaces. Combining the cooperation of the lifter rising oil port, oil inlet, lifter descending oil port, and oil return port with the position of the long through hole, the working state is switched through mechanical settings, and the flow control is achieved through the adjustment of the sealing surface ratio. It is not sensitive to the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil, greatly improving the reliability of the electric control lifter.

[0042] 4. By reasonably setting a pressure buffer port at a specific position on the distributor spool and specifically setting its dimensional ratio, the pressure change is relatively gentle, reducing the impact of pressure and flow changes on the device. It also makes the operation of the implement more stable, thereby not only improving the overall system life but also reducing the waste of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. caused by the jitter of the implement. At the same time, it reduces the probability of mis-sowing and mis-spreading, improves the operation quality, and makes the lifter of the present invention more suitable for the use of tractors.

[0043] 5. By setting a push-pull flexible shaft, the protection of components with high environmental requirements can be achieved, and different system layouts can also be adapted, reducing costs. More importantly, by setting the size of the push-pull flexible shaft (the proportional relationship between the flexible shaft size and the driving power), the stiffness and strength of the overall device are ensured, improving the performance and reliability of the system.

[0044] 6. By setting the structure of the sensor, the requirement for the machining accuracy of the lifting arm is reduced, and the robustness and reliability of the system are improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the distributor valve core moves axially and the contact position between the ejector rod and the distributor valve core is on the conical surface, the ejector rod is driven by the conical surface of the valve core to move axially, pushing the seal body to separate from the through-hole step, and hydraulic oil can flow through the axial through-hole of the one-way valve core. When the distributor valve core continues to move axially and the contact position between the ejector rod and the distributor valve core is on the first large cylindrical surface, while the end of the small-diameter ejector rod end abuts against the seal body, the shaft step of the ejector rod also abuts against the one-way valve core, pushing the seal body to separate from the through-hole step and at the same time pushing the sealing surface between the one-way valve core and the one-way valve seat to separate, and hydraulic oil can flow through the axial through-hole in the one-way valve core and can also flow through the one-way valve seat.

[0059] As Figure 3-6 shown, the rising oil port, the oil inlet port, the falling oil port, and the oil return port in the distributor valve seat are sequentially communicated with the long through-hole. Among them, a oil return cavity connected to the oil return port is arranged in the valve seat in the opposite direction of the oil return port relative to the rising oil port; As Figure 7 shown, the distributor valve core includes 5 sealed large cylindrical surfaces. Among them, the first sealed large cylindrical surface moves between the oil return cavity and the rising oil port, the second sealed large cylindrical surface moves between the oil inlet port and the falling oil port, and the third sealed large cylindrical surface moves between the falling oil port and the oil return port; As Figure 3 shown, when the contact position between the ejector rod and the distributor valve core is at the upper end of the conical small cylindrical surface, the first large cylindrical surface abuts against the oil return cavity, the second large cylindrical surface disconnects the oil passage between the oil inlet port and the falling oil port, the oil inlet port is communicated with the rising oil port, and the falling oil port is communicated with the oil return port; As Figure 4 shown, when the distributor valve core moves axially so that the contact position between the ejector rod and the distributor valve core is at the lower end of the conical small cylindrical surface, the first large cylindrical surface abuts against the oil return cavity, the second large cylindrical surface abuts against the oil inlet port, the oil inlet port does not admit oil, the rising oil port is independent, and the falling oil port is independent; As Figure 5 shown, when the distributor valve core moves axially so that the contact position between the ejector rod and the distributor valve core is at the upper end of the conical large cylindrical surface, the first large cylindrical surface does not abut against the oil return cavity, the second large cylindrical surface is located between the oil inlet port and the rising oil port and disconnects the oil passage between the oil inlet port and the rising oil port, so that the oil inlet port is communicated with the falling oil port, and the oil return port is communicated with the rising oil port; As Figure 6As shown, when the axial movement of the dispenser spool causes the contact position between the ejector rod and the dispenser spool to be at the lower end of the large cylindrical surface of the conical surface, the first large cylindrical surface does not abut against the oil return cavity, the second large cylindrical surface is located between the oil inlet and the rising oil port to disconnect the oil passage between the oil inlet and the rising oil port, and the third large cylindrical surface is located between the oil inlet and the lowering oil port to disconnect the oil passage between the oil inlet and the lowering oil port, so that the rising oil port is communicated with the lowering oil port through the oil return cavity and the oil return port.

[0060] The hydraulic pump drives hydraulic oil to flow into the dispenser through the oil inlet. The dispenser spool axially moves to distribute the hydraulic oil to the rising oil port and / or the lowering oil port, driving the lifting cylinder to perform actions of extending, retracting, floating or maintaining position; then the lifting cylinder performs actions of lifting, lowering, being controlled by the implement or maintaining the first lifting arm end of the lifting arm component. The second lifting arm end drives the lifting rod, the lifting rod drives the lower pull rod, and the upper pull rod is also connected to the implement, thereby driving the implement suspended on the lower pull rod to perform actions of lifting, lowering, floating or maintaining position.

[0061] The position sensor is an angle sensor, and the angle sensor is arranged on the lifting arm component and the lower pull rod, and the measurement range of the angle sensor is at least 10°.

[0062] The controller group includes 1 controller. The controller group receives the signal of the angle sensor to obtain the current position of the lift and compares it with the difference from the target position of the lift, drives the lift motor, and directly or indirectly moves the dispenser spool to the required position through the reduction mechanism and the linear reciprocating mechanism, and then pushes the lifting cylinder to act, pushing the lifting arm component to drive the implement to the target position.

[0063] The sealing surface between the one-way spool and the one-way valve seat is a conical surface, and the small end surface of the conical surface of the one-way spool faces the direction of the dispenser spool; the sealing body is a sphere, and the elastic reset element is a helical spring; the distance between the through-hole step and the small cylindrical surface of the dispenser spool is equal to the length of the ejector rod.

[0064] As Figure 7 shown, 4 pressure buffer ports symmetrically distributed with the axis of rotation of the large cylindrical surface as the axis of symmetry are arranged at the edges of the 5 large cylindrical surfaces; the pressure buffer ports form notches at the edges of the large cylindrical surfaces, and the projected arc length L of the notches on the circle formed at the edge of the small cylindrical surface is 6.77 mm, satisfying L > D × P / 8000, where P is the rated maximum total power of the drive, which is 117.6 KW; the surface hardness of the large cylindrical surface is greater than HRC55.

[0065] The rated power Pd of the lift motor is 60 W, satisfying Pd > P / 6000, where the rated maximum total power P of the drive is 117.6 KW.

[0066] The driving machine in this embodiment is an internal combustion engine.

[0067] The speed reduction mechanism is more than one set of gear speed reduction mechanisms, the total speed reduction ratio i1 of the speed reduction mechanism is 10, the linear reciprocating mechanism is a lead screw mechanism, the conversion rate i2 of the linear reciprocating mechanism is 2 mm / r, and the conversion rate of the linear reciprocating mechanism is the ratio between linear motion and rotation. The i1 and i2 satisfy 0.006 mm / r < < 42 mm / r; A distributor arm is connected to one end of the distributor spool. The linear reciprocating mechanism is connected to the distributor through a push-pull flexible shaft and the distributor arm. The diameter Dsa of the flexible shaft is 3.2 mm, satisfying Dsa > P / 100.

[0068] The motor in this embodiment is connected to the lead screw through a speed reduction gear set. The lead screw is sleeved on the nut in a manner that can axially move relative to each other. The nut abuts against one end of the push-pull flexible shaft. The distributor arm is a sheet-like structure. One end of the distributor arm is connected to the push-pull flexible shaft through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the distributor spool through a pin shaft.

[0069] The sensor further includes a stroke measurement mechanism. The stroke measurement mechanism is an angle sensor and a linear displacement sensor. The angle sensor is a resistive angle sensor; the linear displacement sensor is a linear potentiometer.

[0070] The stroke measurement mechanism can be directly implemented on the lifting motor, that is, a stepper motor or a servo motor is used as the lifting motor, and the number of rotation turns is calculated in the controller group to obtain the axial movement stroke of the distributor.

[0071] The stroke measurement mechanism either integrates a resolver, or a rotary encoder, or a Hall sensor, or an optical sensor, or a magnetoelectric sensor on the lifting motor to measure the number of revolutions or rotational speed of the motor. After integrating with the working time, the number of revolutions of the motor is obtained, and then the axial movement stroke of the distributor is obtained.

[0072] The stroke measurement mechanism can also be connected to the rotary speed reduction mechanism. A Hall sensor or a magnetoelectric sensor is used to measure the number of teeth of the gear or signal ring passing through the sensor, so as to calculate the number of revolutions of the rotary speed reduction device, and then the axial movement stroke of the distributor is obtained.

[0073] The stroke measurement mechanism can also be connected to the linear reciprocating mechanism, using a grating or a linear potentiometer.

[0074] The stroke measurement mechanism can also use an angle sensor. An angle sensor swing arm is arranged between the linear reciprocating mechanism and the distributor. The effective length of the angle sensor swing arm is greater than 5 mm. The effective length is the distance between the rotation center of the angle sensor and the end of the angle sensor swing arm.

[0075] The angle sensor is arranged between the linear reciprocating mechanism and the distributor through an angle sensor swing arm. The effective length of the angle sensor swing arm is 52 mm, and the effective length is the distance between the rotation center of the angle sensor and the end of the angle sensor swing arm.

[0076] There are also 2 limit position detection mechanisms arranged on the linear reciprocating mechanism, and the limit position detection mechanism is a touch switch.

[0077] The controller cooperates with the stroke measurement mechanism to calibrate the lifting speed of the distributor. Specifically in this embodiment, the lifting motor is driven, and the controller makes the distributor valve core move axially to the required position, and the oil fluid with a specific flow rate flows into or out of the two lifting oil cylinders, so as to push the lifting arm component of the lifter to the target position. The controller group receives the signals of the position sensors, obtains the distance between the current position of the lifter and the target position of the lifter, sets the moving speed of the lifter oil cylinder, and obtains the relationship between the lifting speed and the position of the distributor valve core according to the input signal of the stroke measurement mechanism.

[0078] The lifting rod in this embodiment has a nut and screw structure. The nut is threadedly connected to the screw. The screw end of the lifting rod is connected to the distributor arm through a pin shaft, and the nut end of the lifting rod is connected to the lower pull rod through a pin shaft.

[0079] The maximum displacement S of the hydraulic pump in this embodiment is 45 ml / r, satisfying S > P / 8, where P is the rated maximum total power of the driving machine, and the unit is KW.
