[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a transmission shaft of a fertilizer spreader with an overload protection function, including an output shaft 1, a connection and prompting mechanism 7 and a shearing sleeve 14. A friction bushing 2 is fixed on the outer side of the output shaft 1. The outer side of the output shaft 1 is rotatably connected to a compression flange 3 through a bearing 4. One end of the output shaft 1 is fixed with a square block 5, and one side of the compression flange 3 is fixed with a first friction plate 6.
[0026] The connection and prompting mechanism 7 includes a connection flange 701. One side of the connection flange 701 is fixed with a second friction plate 702. The friction bushing 2 is clamped between the first friction plate 6 and the second friction plate 702. A first groove 703 is opened on one side of the connection flange 701. A ferrule 704 is rotatably connected in the first groove 703. The ferrule 704 is snap-connected to the outer side of the square block 5. A screw 8 passes through the compression flange 3 and the connection flange 701. The other side of the connection flange 701 is connected to a fixed sleeve 12 through a first universal joint 11. A transmission shaft 13 is fixed between the fixed sleeve 12 and the shearing sleeve 14 through a fixed bolt 15. One side of the shearing sleeve 14 is fixed with a connection sleeve 18 through a shearing bolt 19. One side of the connection sleeve 18 is connected to an input shaft 21 through a second universal joint 20.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, a first rotating shaft 705 is fixed to one side of the ferrule 704, and an extrusion disk 707 is fixed to the outer side of the first rotating shaft 705, a second groove 706 is opened in the connecting flange 701, and the extrusion disk 707 is rotatably connected in the second groove 706. When the ferrule 704 rotates in the first groove 703, the first rotating shaft 705 and the extrusion disk 707 rotate together with the ferrule 704.
[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a movable rod 708 is slidably connected in the first groove 703, and the movable rod 708 is connected to the connecting flange 701 through a first spring 709, a knocking block 710 is fixed at one end of the movable rod 708, and a hollow cylinder 711 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting flange 701. When the friction sleeve 2, the first friction plate 6 and the second friction plate 702 are worn to affect the friction effect, the connecting flange 701 rotates relative to the output shaft 1, and the ferrule 704 rotates in the first groove 703. The rotation of the ferrule 704 drives the first rotating shaft 705 and the extrusion disk 707 to rotate. When the extrusion disk 707 squeezes the movable rod 708, the movable rod 708 moves to the right. When the extrusion disk 707 releases the squeezing of the movable rod 708, the movable rod 708 automatically rebounds under the action of the first spring 709, and the knocking block 710 automatically rebounds and knocks the hollow cylinder 711 to make a sound, which conveniently serves as a wear prompt.
[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a screw rod 712 is fixed at one end of the first rotating shaft 705, and a movable sleeve 713 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw rod 712, a limiting ring 714 is fixed in the connecting flange 701, and the movable sleeve 713 passes through the limiting ring 714 and is connected to the first piston 715. When the first rotating shaft 705 rotates to drive the screw rod 712 to rotate, the movable sleeve 713 can move to the left under the limiting action of the screw rod 712 and the limiting ring 714, thereby driving the first piston 715 to move to the left.
[0030] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an oil pipe 716 is fixed in the connecting flange 701, and the first piston 715 is slidably connected in the head end of the oil pipe 716. A second spring 717 is fixed to the inner bottom of the first piston 715, and a stop block is fixed at one end of the second spring 717. The second spring 717 supports the stop block. When the first piston 715 moves to the left to the bottom, the stop block resists the first piston 715 and the movable sleeve 713 to prevent the movable sleeve 713 from completely disengaging from the screw rod 712.
[0031] In this embodiment,Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a second piston 718 is slidably connected inside the end of the oil pipe 716, and a tip rod 719 is fixed to the top of the second piston 718. The tip rod 719 penetrates through the top of the oil pipe 716. The oil pipe 716 stores hydraulic oil. When the first piston 715 moves leftward, the second piston 718 moves upward under the action of oil pressure, thereby driving the tip rod 719 to move upward. The tip rod 719 extends out of the oil pipe 716, which is convenient for indicating that the output shaft 1 and the connecting flange 701 have rotated relative to each other.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one side of the connecting flange 701 is connected to the gasket through a third spring 10. One end of the screw rod 8 is threadedly connected with a nut 9. After connecting the pressing flange 3 and the knocking block 710 together by using the screw rod 8, the nut 9 can be tightened, which is convenient for playing a role in connection and fixation.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a second rotating shaft 16 is fixed to one side of the shear sleeve 14. The connecting sleeve 18 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second rotating shaft 16. After the shear bolt 19 is broken, the shear sleeve 14 and the connecting sleeve 18 can rotate relative to each other, and the second rotating shaft 16 rotates inside the connecting sleeve 18.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , ball bearings 17 are movably connected to the outside of the second rotating shaft 16, and the ball bearings 17 are circumferentially and evenly distributed on the second rotating shaft 16. When the second rotating shaft 16 rotates inside the connecting sleeve 18, the ball bearings 17 roll, which is convenient for reducing the friction between the second rotating shaft 16 and the connecting sleeve 18.
[0035] The usage method and advantages of the present invention: The drive shaft of the fertilizer spreader with an overload protection function works as follows:
[0036] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure: First, use the screw 8 and the nut 9 to fix the pressing flange 3 and the connecting flange 701 together, then use the shear bolt 19 to fix the shear sleeve 14 and the connecting sleeve 18 together. The input shaft 21 is connected to the driving device of the tractor, and the output shaft 1 is connected to the conveyor belt and the spreading mechanism. The tractor transmits power to the conveyor belt and the spreading mechanism through this device. The fertilizer in the fertilizer tank is output from the discharge port of the fertilizer tank driven by the lower conveyor belt and is spread by the spreading mechanism. When the friction bush 2, the first friction plate 6, and the second friction plate 702 are severely worn and the frictional force decreases, the output shaft 1 rotates relative to the connecting flange 701, and the ferrule 704 rotates in the first groove 703, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 705 and the pressing disk 707 to rotate. The pressing disk 707 first squeezes the movable rod 708 and the knocking block 710 to move to the right. When the pressing disk 707 releases the extrusion of the movable rod 708, the movable rod 708 and the knocking block 710 automatically bounce off and knock on the hollow cylinder 711 to make a sound for prompting. At the same time, the lead screw 712 rotates, the moving sleeve 713 and the first piston 715 move to the left, the second piston 718 and the prompting rod 719 move upward, and the prompting rod 719 extends out of the oil pipe 716 to prompt that the output shaft 1 has rotated relative to the connecting flange 701. When the fertilizer remaining in the fertilizer tank is caked on the conveyor belt after being placed for a long time, and sundries such as iron blocks and branches mixed in the manure jam the moving parts of the fertilizer spreader, the shear bolt 19 automatically breaks, and the connecting sleeve 18 and the shear sleeve 14 can rotate relative to each other, which is convenient for overload protection and can avoid forcibly outputting power to the drive shaft 13 to damage the tractor and the fertilizer spreader.
[0037] In summary, the drive shaft of the fertilizer spreader with overload protection function achieves the purpose of relative rotation prompt and overload protection, meeting people's usage requirements.
