[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a bevel tooth 6 is installed on one side of the control gear 531, and the two are arranged as an integral whole, and the direction adjustment gear 532 is arranged in a conical shape. The bevel tooth 6 is meshed and connected with the direction adjustment gear 532, which is used to change the rotation direction of the second gear plate 4, and a linkage gear 7 is arranged at a relative position of the control gear 531, and the linkage gear 7 is meshed and connected with the direction adjustment gear 532. In order to achieve the opposite rotation direction of the second gear plate 4 and the first gear plate 3, the device will be provided with a direction adjustment gear 532, and the direction adjustment gear 532 is arranged in a conical shape so as to mesh with the bevel tooth 6. At the same time, one end of the linkage gear 7 is also arranged in a conical shape. In this shape, the linkage gear 7 can be meshed and connected with the direction adjustment gear 532, so that the two gear plates can rotate in opposite directions. In addition, the gear meshing connection is adopted, which effectively replaces the belt drive method, reduces useless work, improves work efficiency, and is easy to use.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surfaces of the first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2 are respectively provided with spline grooves 8 for connecting to external rolling wheels. The first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2 are symmetrically arranged. The device is respectively provided with spline grooves 8 on the first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2. The spline grooves 8 are used to clamp the splines, so that when the rolling wheels are installed, the rolling wheels can be controlled to be stably connected through the restriction of the splines.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a spline shaft 9 is provided at the inner side of the driving wheel 51 and is clamped together with the spline shaft 9. A toothed disc group 10 is clamped at one end of the spline shaft 9 for connecting to a driving device in the mechanical device. In order to ensure the stable use of the driving wheel 51, the driving wheel 51 will be installed on the spline shaft 9. In actual use, the spline shaft 9 can be rotatably installed inside a box with a special direction control. The driving wheel 51 can be driven to rotate by an external driving device, and the spline shaft 9 can also be driven to rotate, which is convenient for use.

[0035] A connecting shaft 11 is provided inside the first gear 521. The first gear 521 corresponds to the positions of the first gear plate 3 and the second gear plate 4, and is meshed and connected with the first gear plate 3 and the second gear plate 4. A second gear 12 is provided between the control gear 531 and the interlocking gear 7. A through hole 13 is provided on one side of the second gear 12, and the direction adjusting gear 532 is rotatably installed inside the through hole 13, so as to stably drive the control gear 531 and the interlocking gear 7 to rotate.

The linkage shaft 142 is arranged above the control gear 531 and the linkage gear 7, and the brake wheel 143 is fixedly mounted on one end of the linkage shaft 142.

[0037] In actual use, the brake wheel 143 will cause movement wear after long-term use, which will reduce the position use effect of the brake wheel 143. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the brake wheel 143, the brake wheel 143 will be set outside the direction control box to facilitate the maintenance of the brake wheel 143, which is easy to operate. There is no need to disassemble a large number of parts to find the brake wheel 143 for maintenance, which saves time and is easy to operate.

[0038] When the machine is turned, the device will control the first gear 521 to move and change the correspondence between the first gear 521 and the gear plate. For example, when the machine turns right, the first gear 521 will be controlled to correspond to the position of the first gear plate 3, and vice versa, it will correspond to the position of the second gear plate 4, so as to drive the gear plate to rotate. In order to facilitate the control of the movement of the first gear 521, a gear groove 15 is set on the inner wall of the cylinder 52 and used in conjunction with the first gear 521. The sleeve 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the first gear 521. The sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 11 and is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 11 for easy use.

[0039] Specifically, the working process or working principle of a fixed-axis wheel mechanical on-the-spot steering device is as follows: when the harvester makes a U-turn on the spot, the moving wheel on one side will be braked first, and then the moving wheel on the other side will be controlled to move, thereby driving the mechanical U-turn. Although this operation can achieve a mechanical U-turn, in actual operation, the track on one side will rub on the spot, causing certain wear and tear on the track, and the moving wheel needs to be tightly braked by the braking device to achieve the on-the-spot U-turn, which increases the wear and tear of the braking device and causes excessive wear and consumption of the components, affecting the use. Therefore, the present invention is designed to solve this problem.

[0040] The present invention can control the crawler harvester to turn, and the front and rear wheels can rotate together, one side rotates forward and the other side rotates backward, so that turning on the spot can be achieved, the wear of the crawler track on the ground is reduced, and when turning, there is no need to brake, which reduces the wear on the braking equipment and is easy to use. In specific operation, the device is installed on the crawler harvester and is used to control the moving direction of the harvester. The ends of the first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2 on the device are respectively equipped with rolling wheels. By driving the first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2 to rotate, the rolling wheels on the first transmission shaft 1 and the second transmission shaft 2 can be controlled to rotate, so as to control the movement of the machine.

[0041] When the machine needs to be turned, the personnel can control the movement of the direction rod, and the movement of the direction rod will drive the lever inside the machine to move. For example, when the machine turns to the right, the direction rod is controlled to move, and the driving wheel 51 is meshed and connected with the transmission gear 511, and the transmission gear 511 is controlled to rotate continuously. At the same time, the first gear 521 is pushed to move inside the cylinder 52 under the push of the lever, so that the first gear 521 is separated from the second gear plate 4. In this case, the first gear 521 cannot drive the second gear plate 4 to rotate.

[0042] Although the first gear 521 cannot mesh with the second gear plate 4 for transmission, the first gear 521 will mesh with the first gear plate 3, and the first gear plate 3 will be driven to rotate through the first gear 521. The rotation of the first gear plate 3 will also drive the control gear 531 to rotate. The control gear 531 is arranged at a position outside the first transmission shaft 1, and a conical tooth 6 is installed on one side surface of the control gear 531. By meshing and rotating the conical tooth 6 with the direction adjusting gear 532, the rotation direction of the second gear plate 4 will be changed through the direction adjusting gear 532, so that the rotation directions of the first gear plate 3 and the second gear plate 4 are opposite, thereby controlling one scroll wheel to rotate forward and the other to rotate reversely, so as to realize the U-turn of the machine, which is convenient for use.

[0043] The device is connected to the linkage gear 7 through the meshing connection of the direction adjusting gear 532. When the linkage gear 7 rotates, the second gear plate 4 is also driven to rotate. Due to the setting of the direction adjusting gear 532, the rotation direction of the second gear plate 4 will be changed, effectively replacing the existing belt transmission method and improving work efficiency. The device sets two direction adjusting gears 532. The two direction adjusting gears 532 are meshed and transmitted with a control gear 531 and a linkage gear 7, which can share the driving force of the direction adjusting gear 532, thereby stably driving the second gear plate 4.

[0044] The device can turn the harvester on the spot and control the rotation direction of the rolling wheel through the above method, which can reduce the wear on the crawler track. At the same time, there is no need to control the brake when turning the harvester, which reduces the wear on the brake equipment, extends the service life of the brake equipment, and is easy to use.

[0045] When the device is installed, the brake wheel 143 is arranged outside the direction control box, so that the brake wheel 143 can be repaired and operated easily. There is no need to disassemble a large number of parts to find the brake wheel 143 for repair, which saves time and is easy to operate.
