[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The end of the first power output shaft serves as the power source for the agricultural machine accessories, and the second power output shaft serves as the power source for the forward and reverse movement of the entire two-wheel tractor. The first power output shaft is designed to rotate in the middle of the first drive gear, and the second power output shaft is designed to rotate inside the right side of the first power output shaft. The first clutch gear and the second clutch gear respectively control the rotation of the first and second power output shafts. Through the clever layout design, the left side of the first drive gear can serve as the driving force for the first clutch gear, and the right side of the first drive gear can also serve as the driving force for the second clutch gear. The entire structure is highly integrated, maximizing the utilization of the power source and improving transmission efficiency.

[0018] 2. When the second clutch gear is in the forward gear position, the interior of the second clutch gear is meshed with the first drive gear. The annular boss will push the entire third limit steel ball through the steel ball boss to overcome the elastic force of the third limit spring and slide to the left. The pressure relief diversion hole and the bottom of the second pressure relief oil circuit are no longer in a conductive state, and the middle area with the largest diameter of the third limit steel ball will block the hydraulic oil from flowing out of the third pressure relief oil circuit outlet. The hydraulic oil flowing down the second pressure relief oil circuit will remain in the area between the right side of the third limit steel ball and the sealing film, but it cannot flow out to the outside. The entire oil circuit is in a pressure-maintaining state, and each second limit steel ball will be stuck in the gap between adjacent second steel ball limit plates. Through this design, the first power output shaft can automatically rotate when in the forward gear, which improves the degree of automation during tractor operation.

[0019] 3. The rotation of the second PTO shaft changes as the second clutch gear slides left and right. During rotation, the first, second, and third speed gears all rotate simultaneously. The speed transmission gear, combined with different speed gears, can produce different speeds. The entire transmission structure is highly integrated, reducing manufacturing costs for enterprises.

[0020] 4. By designing two first limiting annular grooves, the first clutch gear and the first power output shaft can be in either an engaged or disengaged state. After the axial displacement of the first clutch gear, the first clamping assembly can lock the position of the first clutch gear relative to the first drive gear. This locking does not completely lock the first clutch gear, but rather provides a preliminary limit on the sliding position of the first clutch gear. The user can not only use the maximum sliding range of the first clutch gear to determine the engagement state, but also use the first rocker arm to sense the torque changes of the first limiting steel ball, thereby determining whether the first clutch gear is stuck in the engaged gear or disengaged gear. This is more convenient for users and optimizes human-computer interaction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a power transmission assembly inside a tractor rear axle includes a transmission housing 1, a first power input shaft 2 disposed inside the transmission housing 1, and a first drive gear 4 connected to the left end of the first power input shaft 2. A first power output shaft 5 is rotatably disposed inside the first drive gear 4.

[0034] The first driving gear 4 also rotates simultaneously during the rotation of the first power input shaft 2. The first driving gear 4 cannot directly drive the first power output shaft 5 to rotate during the rotation.

[0035] A first clutch gear 6 is axially slidably mounted on one end surface of the first power output shaft 5. The first power output shaft 5 rotates as the first clutch gear 6 rotates. Axial displacement of the first clutch gear 6 enables engagement or disengagement with the first drive gear 4. The end of the first power output shaft 5, which is adjacent to the exterior of the transmission housing 1, is transmission-connected to the interior of the farming accessory.

[0036] exist Figure 3 In the example, the first clutch gear 6 is disengaged from the first drive gear 4. The first drive gear 4 cannot simultaneously rotate the first clutch gear 6. When the first clutch gear 6 slides rightward until it engages with the first drive gear 4, the first drive gear 4 can rotate with the first clutch gear 6. This allows the first clutch gear 6 to simultaneously rotate the first power output shaft 5. At this point, the transmission system for the external farming accessories is connected to the end of the first power output shaft 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 :exist Figure 6 The first clutch gear 6 is removed from the surface of the first power output shaft 5. The interior of the first clutch gear 6 is spline-connected to the surface of the first power output shaft 5. The surface of the first clutch gear 6 is provided with first gear teeth 61 and a first annular transmission groove 62. The interior of the first drive gear 4 is provided with a tooth groove adapted to the first gear teeth 61. In this way, the first clutch gear 6 slides rightward until it is inside the first drive gear 4. The first gear teeth 61 can engage with the internal tooth groove of the first drive gear 4, realizing transmission between the first drive gear 4 and the first clutch gear 6.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, a first push block 63 is provided inside the first annular transmission groove 62, and the end of the first push block 63 is hingedly connected to the external first rocker arm 66. The first push block 63 can push the first clutch gear 6 to engage or disengage with the inside of the first driving gear 4.

[0039] The user rotates the bottom of the first rocker arm 66, thereby changing the position of the end of the first rocker arm 66. However, the hinged connection between the end of the first rocker arm 66 and the end of the first push block 63 ensures that the first push block 63 is always retained within the first annular transmission groove 62. During rotation, the first rocker arm 66 drives the first push block 63 to push the entire first clutch gear 6 to slide along the left surface of the first power output shaft 5.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 The first clutch gear 6 is in a disengaged state from the first drive gear 4. After the first clutch gear 6 separates from the interior of the first drive gear 4 during its sliding process, it is necessary to limit the relative position of the first clutch gear 6. A first clamping assembly 51 is provided within the first power output shaft 5. After the first clutch gear 6 is axially displaced, the first clamping assembly 51 can lock the position of the first clutch gear 6 relative to the first drive gear 4. However, this locking does not firmly lock the first clutch gear 6, but rather provides a preliminary limit to the sliding position of the first clutch gear 6.

[0041] The first clamping assembly 51 includes a first limiting spring 511 and a first limiting steel ball 512. A first limiting through hole 513 is provided inside the first power output shaft 5. The center line of the first limiting through hole 513 is perpendicular to the axis of the first power output shaft 5. A first limiting spring 511 is provided inside the first limiting through hole 513. First limiting steel balls 512 are provided at both ends of the first limiting spring 511. Several first limiting annular grooves 64 are provided inside the first clutch gear 6. Several first steel ball limiting plates 65 are provided on the top of at least one of the first limiting annular grooves 64. The first limiting steel ball 512 can slide relative to the first limiting annular groove 64, and the first limiting steel ball 512 can be stuck in the gap between adjacent first steel ball limiting plates 65.

[0042] The two first limiting annular grooves 64 represent the two states of engagement and disengagement between the first clutch gear 6 and the first power output shaft 5, respectively. After the first limiting steel ball 512 is locked within the first limiting annular groove 64, the elastic force generated by the first limiting spring 511 forces the first limiting steel ball 512 to fit within the first limiting annular groove 64. At this point, the first clutch gear 6 is initially locked relative to the first drive gear 4. When the first push block 63 pushes the first clutch gear 6 again, the internal teeth of the first clutch gear 6 compress the first limiting steel ball 512 toward the interior of the first limiting through hole 513. This process continuously compresses the first limiting spring 511, causing it to deform, thereby increasing the friction between the first limiting steel ball 512 and the interior of the first clutch gear 6. The user uses the first rocker arm 66 to sense the changes in the friction of the first limiting steel ball 512, thereby determining whether the first clutch gear 6 is stuck in the engaged or disengaged gear position.

[0043] It should be noted that when the first clutch gear 6 is in meshing state with the interior of the first drive gear 4, the first limiting steel ball 512 will be stuck in the gap between the adjacent first steel ball limiting plates 65, and the entire first clutch gear 6 cannot rotate relative to the first drive gear 4. The fit between the first clutch gear 6 and the first drive gear 4 is higher, and the torque is greater.

[0044] When the first clutch gear 6 is in a separated state from the interior of the first drive gear 4 , the entire first clutch gear 6 can rotate relative to the first drive gear 4 .

[0045] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 . A second power output shaft 10 is rotatably provided on the surface of the other end of the first power output shaft 5. The first power output shaft 5 cannot directly drive the first power output shaft 5 to rotate during the rotation process. The surface of the second power output shaft 10 is also provided with a second clutch gear 9 that can slide axially. The second clutch gear 9 is also driven to slide by means of a slider and a rocker arm. The axial displacement of the second clutch gear 9 can achieve engagement or disengagement with the first drive gear 4.

[0046] The internal spline of the second clutch gear 9 is connected to the surface of the second power output shaft 10. One side of the first drive gear 4 is provided with a spline tooth 41 adapted to the inside of the second clutch gear 9. The surface of the second clutch gear 9 is provided with a second gear tooth 91. The interior of the transmission housing 1 is rotatably provided with a reverse gear 11. The first power input shaft 2 is always engaged with the reverse gear 11. The sliding of the second clutch gear 9 can engage or disengage with the first drive gear 4 and the reverse gear 11.

[0047] The second clutch gear 9 has three states on the surface of the second power output shaft 10, namely reverse gear, forward gear and neutral gear.

[0048] Reverse gear: Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the second gear teeth 91 of the second clutch gear 9 mesh with the reverse gear 11. Since the first power input shaft 2 is always meshed with the reverse gear 11, the first power input shaft 2 will drive the reverse gear 11 during rotation, which in turn drives the second clutch gear 9. The second clutch gear 9 also drives the second power output shaft 10. Due to the additional speed change of the reverse gear 11, the rotation direction of the second power output shaft 10 is different from that of the forward gear.

[0049] Neutral: In Figure 5 Based on the diagram shown in , the second clutch gear 9 is shifted to the right until the second gear teeth 91 of the second clutch gear 9 are separated from the reverse gear 11. At this point, the first drive gear 4 cannot directly transmit power to the second clutch gear 9. The entire second power output shaft 10 is then in a stationary state.

[0050] Forward gear: Figure 5 On the basis shown in , the second clutch gear 9 is shifted to the right until the interior of the second clutch gear 9 is engaged with the spline teeth 41 of the first drive gear 4. Then the first drive gear 4 will directly drive the second clutch gear 9 to rotate, and the entire second power output shaft 10 is in a rotating state.

[0051] In this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 The first power output shaft 5 is further provided with a second clamping assembly 52 , and the second clutch gear 9 is engaged with the interior of the first drive gear 4 to drive the second clamping assembly 52 so that the first drive gear 4 and the first power output shaft 5 rotate simultaneously.

[0052] The second clamping assembly 52 includes a first bearing 521, a second limiting spring 522 and a second limiting steel ball 523. The hydraulic cavity 529 between the surface of the first power output shaft 5 and the interior of the first driving gear 4 is sealed by the first bearing 521. The interior of the first power output shaft 5 is also provided with a first oil circuit 53. The surface of the first power output shaft 5 is provided with a second limiting through hole 55. The interior of the second limiting through hole 55 is provided with a second limiting spring 522. The two ends of the second limiting spring 522 are connected to the second limiting steel ball 523. The interior of the first oil circuit 53 is also provided with a first pressure relief oil circuit 54. The interior of the first driving gear 4 is provided with a second pressure relief oil circuit 42 and a third pressure relief oil circuit 43. The center lines of the second pressure relief oil circuit 42 and the third pressure relief oil circuit 43 are perpendicular to each other. The interior of the third pressure relief oil circuit 43 is provided with a third limiting spring 524. The end of the third limiting spring 524 is provided with a third limiting steel ball 525. The position change of the third limiting steel ball 525 can block the third pressure relief oil circuit 43.

[0053] The first oil passage 53 is connected to an external oil pump, while the third pressure relief oil passage 43 is connected to the interior of the entire transmission housing 1, which is soaked in oil. The second limit spring 522 always pulls the second limit steel ball 523 to slide into the interior of the first oil passage 53.

[0054] An external oil pump delivers hydraulic oil to the interior of the first oil circuit 53, whereupon the hydraulic oil flows through the first pressure relief oil circuit 54, the second pressure relief oil circuit 42, and the third pressure relief oil circuit 43 into the interior of the transmission housing 1. When the third pressure relief oil circuit 43 is unable to discharge the hydraulic oil, the interior of the entire oil circuit is in a pressure-maintaining state, and the hydraulic oil pushes up each second limiting steel ball 523, causing the second limiting steel ball 523 to be firmly stuck inside the first drive gear 4. The first drive gear 4 can directly drive the first power output shaft 5 to rotate. Even when the first clutch gear 6 is separated from the interior of the first drive gear 4, the first power output shaft 5 can still rotate.

[0055] To further ensure that the second clutch gear 9 is in the forward gear position, the third limiting steel ball 525 can block the third pressure relief oil passage 43. The surface of the third limiting steel ball 525 near the first drive gear 4 is provided with a sealing film 526 and a steel ball boss 527. The side of the second clutch gear 9 is provided with an annular boss 92 that can fit against the steel ball boss 527. The interior of the third limiting steel ball 525 is provided with a pressure relief guide hole 528. The inner diameter of the pressure relief guide hole 528 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second pressure relief oil passage 42. The top of the pressure relief guide hole 528 is connected to the second pressure relief oil passage 42, and the side of the pressure relief guide hole 528 is connected to the interior of the third pressure relief oil passage 43. The interior of the first drive gear 4 is also provided with a second limiting annular groove 44. The top of the second limiting annular groove 44 is provided with a plurality of second steel ball limiting plates 45. The second limiting steel ball 523 can be stuck in the gap between adjacent second steel ball limiting plates 45.

[0056] like Figure 8 When the second clutch gear 9 is in neutral, the third limiting spring 524 pushes the third limiting steel ball 525 to the right, establishing a connection between the pressure relief guide hole 528 and the bottom of the second pressure relief oil passage 42, allowing hydraulic oil to flow normally from the interior of the third pressure relief oil passage 43. The second limiting spring 522 constantly pulls the second limiting steel ball 523 to slide into the interior of the first oil passage 53. When the first clutch gear 6 is separated from the interior of the first drive gear 4, the first power output shaft 5 cannot rotate.

[0057] When the second clutch gear 9 is in the forward gear position, the interior of the second clutch gear 9 is meshed with the first drive gear 4. The annular boss 92 will push the entire third limiting steel ball 525 to slide to the left under the elastic force of the third limiting spring 524 through the steel ball boss 527. Gradually, the pressure relief guide hole 528 and the bottom of the second pressure relief oil circuit 42 are no longer in a conductive state, and the middle area with the largest diameter of the third limiting steel ball 525 will block the hydraulic oil from flowing out of the outlet of the third pressure relief oil circuit 43. The hydraulic oil flowing down the second pressure relief oil circuit 42 will remain in the area between the right side of the third limiting steel ball 525 and the sealing film 526, but it cannot flow out to the outside. The entire oil circuit is in a pressure-maintaining state, and each second limiting steel ball 523 will be stuck in the gap between adjacent second steel ball limiting plates 45.

[0058] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6The first power input shaft 2 has a wheel drive mechanism 3 rotatably mounted on its surface. A speed change gear 7 is axially slidably mounted on the surface of the wheel drive mechanism 3. The wheel drive mechanism 3 rotates as the speed change gear 7 rotates. The second power output shaft 10 has a plurality of speed change mechanisms 8 mounted on its surface that transmit power to the speed change gear 7.

[0059] The speed change mechanism 8 includes a first speed change gear 81, a second speed change gear 82 and a third speed change gear 83. The first speed change gear 81, the second speed change gear 82 and the third speed change gear 83 are all fixedly connected to the surface of the second power output shaft 10. The surface of the first worm 31 is rotatably provided with a worm drive gear 34. The worm drive gear 34 is always in meshing state with the third speed change gear 83. The sliding of the speed change transmission gear 7 can be engaged or disengaged with the first speed change gear 81 and the second speed change gear 82. The sliding of the speed change transmission gear 7 can also be stuck or disengaged inside the worm drive gear 34.

[0060] The rotation of the second power output shaft 10 changes as the second clutch gear 9 slides left and right. During the rotation of the second power output shaft 10, the first speed gear 81, the second speed gear 82, and the third speed gear 83 all rotate simultaneously. The speed transmission gear 7 can be combined with different speed gears to produce different speeds.

[0061] The surface of the speed-changing transmission gear 7 is provided with a second annular transmission groove 71, a first transmission gear tooth 72 and a second transmission gear tooth 73, and the side of the speed-changing transmission gear 7 is provided with a speed-changing transmission boss 74. The first transmission gear tooth 72 is adapted to the first speed-changing gear 81, and the second transmission gear tooth 73 is adapted to the second speed-changing gear 82. The speed-changing transmission boss 74 can be stuck inside the worm drive gear 34.

[0062] The interior of the second annular transmission groove 71 is also driven to slide by a push block and rocker arm. During the sliding process, the speed change transmission gear 7 is constantly engaged with the speed change mechanism 8. The first transmission gear teeth 72 and the second transmission gear teeth 73 are adapted to fit the first speed change gear 81 and the second speed change gear 82, respectively. The speed change transmission gear 7 can also slide until the speed change transmission boss 74 is engaged with the interior of the worm drive gear 34.

[0063] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9The wheel drive mechanism 3 includes a first worm 31, a first worm wheel 32, and a first bevel gear 33. The first worm 31 is rotatably provided on the surface of the first power output shaft 5. The internal spline of the speed change transmission gear 7 is connected to the surface of the first worm 31. The end of the first worm 31 is connected to the first worm wheel 32. The first worm wheel 32 is internally connected to a plurality of first bevel gears 33. At least two of the first bevel gears 33 are internally connected to the wheel drive shaft 35.

[0064] The worm drive gear 34 cannot directly drive the first worm 31 when it rotates. After the speed change gear 7 is stuck inside the worm drive gear 34, the third speed change gear 83 transmits power to the worm drive gear 34, and the worm drive gear 34 transmits the power to the speed change gear 7. Finally, the speed change gear 7 drives the entire first worm 31 to rotate.

[0065] Regardless of the gear position of the speed change transmission gear 7, the speed change transmission gear 7 rotates and simultaneously drives the first worm 31 to rotate. The rotation of the first worm 31 drives the first worm wheel 32 to rotate, and the first worm wheel 32 drives the first bevel gear 33 inside to rotate. Ultimately, the first bevel gear 33 drives each wheel drive shaft 35 to rotate.

[0066] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.
