[0060] Embodiment two

[0061] The embodiment discloses a working method of a transmission system for a tractor, and comprises the following contents.

[0062] The first PTO mode is a traditional PTO mode: in this mode, the first synchronizer SY1 is combined with the first shaft S1. At this time, part of the engine input power is transmitted to the second shaft SY2 through the continuously variable transmission, the second synchronizer can select high and low gears, and the second synchronizer is directly combined with the second shaft S2 when the second synchronizer is in the low gear, part of the engine input power is directly transmitted to the front axle structure and the rear axle structure through the second shaft S2-second synchronizer SY2-fourth shaft S4, and the second synchronizer is combined with the fourth gear when the second synchronizer is in the high gear, and part of the engine input power is transmitted to the front axle structure and the rear axle structure through the second shaft S2-first gear pair Z2-Z1-second gear pair Z3-Z4-second synchronizer SY2-fourth shaft S4.

[0063] In the first PTO mode, another part of the engine power and the rotation speed is transmitted to the PTO clutch CPTO and the third synchronizer SY3 through the first synchronizer SY1 and the third shaft, the third synchronizer SY3 can select different PTO gears, and is transmitted to the PTO output end through the third synchronizer SY3-seventh gear Z7-eighth gear Z8 or transmitted to the PTO output end through the third synchronizer SY3-ninth gear Z9-tenth gear Z10. In this mode, the rotation speed of the PTO output end is positively related to the rotation speed of the engine and is irrelevant to the vehicle speed (the rotation speed of the front axle and the rear axle determines the vehicle speed).

[0064] The ground speed PTO mode (in this mode, the rotation speed of the PTO output end is positively related to the walking vehicle speed of the tractor): in this mode, the first synchronizer SY1 is combined with the first gear Z1. At this time, the engine input power is transmitted to the second synchronizer SY2 through the continuously variable transmission, the second synchronizer can select high and low gears, and the second synchronizer is directly combined with the second shaft S2 when the second synchronizer is in the low gear, part of the engine input power is directly transmitted to the front axle and the rear axle structure through the second shaft S2-second synchronizer SY2-fourth shaft S4; another part of the engine input power and the rotation speed is transmitted to the third synchronizer SY3 through the second gear Z2-first gear Z1-first synchronizer SY1-third shaft S3-PTO clutch CPTO.

[0065] The second synchronizer SY2 is combined with the fourth gear Z4 in the high gear, and a part of the engine input power is transmitted to the front axle and rear axle structure via the second shaft S2-the first gear pair Z2-Z1-the second gear pair Z3-Z4-the second synchronizer SY2-the fourth shaft S4, and another part of the engine input power is transmitted CPTO to the third synchronizer SY3 via the second shaft S2-the first gear pair Z2-Z1-the first synchronizer SY1-the third shaft S3-the PTO clutch.

[0066] The third synchronizer SY3 can select different PTO gears, and is transmitted to the PTO output via the third synchronizer SY3-the seventh gear Z7-the eighth gear Z8 or is transmitted to the PTO output via the third synchronizer SY3-the ninth gear Z9-the tenth gear Z10. In this mode, the PTO rotation speed is irrelevant to the engine rotation speed, and is related to the vehicle speed (the front axle and rear axle rotation speed), and the transmission ratio can be calculated by the gear number ratio, which is not described here again.

[0067] The PTO reverse mode: in the above ground speed PTO mode, the second shaft S2 is in the reverse state (because the second shaft is the output shaft of the continuously variable transmission) by the continuously variable transmission, and at the same time, the second synchronizer SY2 is in the intermediate neutral position, the first synchronizer SY1 is combined with the first gear Z1, and the engine input power and rotation speed are transmitted to the third synchronizer SY3 via the second shaft S2-the second gear Z2-the first gear Z1-the first synchronizer SY1-the third shaft S3-the PTO clutch CPTO, at this time, the PTO output end is reversely rotated. In this mode, the PTO output end is reversed, which can be used for special working conditions such as reversing agricultural implements, for example, a baler can clear the jammed weeds by reversing.

[0068] The PTO neutral mode: in this mode, the first synchronizer SY1 is in the intermediate neutral position, and the PTO has no power and rotation speed output. In this mode, the PTO drag power and other useless work can be reduced to the maximum extent, which helps to improve the overall transmission efficiency of the transmission system.

[0069] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
