Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mid-mounted gearboxes, and in particular relates to an oil-leakage-proof mid-mounted gearbox for agricultural machinery. Background Art
[0002] Mid-mounted gearboxes are widely used in various agricultural machinery such as rotary tillers, and are responsible for transmitting the power of the tractor engine to the working end such as the rotary tiller shaft.
[0003] The output shaft and the housing of the existing mid-mounted gearbox are sealed by a traditional oil seal. The traditional oil seal is an exposed skeleton type oil seal with a secondary lip. Since the rotary tiller shaft and other objects connected to the output end of the agricultural machinery mid-mounted gearbox are often bumped and subjected to unstable force during operation, the sealing part is very easy to wear. Once worn, oil leakage will occur.
[0004] In addition, the splines on the splined disc sleeves on both sides of the traditional mid-mounted gearbox are not lubricated for maintenance, are most prone to wear, and have a short service life. Usually, after two or three years of operation without oil maintenance, the splines are basically worn out and cannot be used, so they need to be replaced with new parts. In addition, since a certain distance needs to be left at the outer end of the output shaft for the splined sleeve to connect to the disc, the connecting disc end is far away from the casing, and the distance between the rotary blades on both sides is large after installation, resulting in missed tillage during rotary tillage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention provides an oil-leakage-proof mid-mounted gearbox for agricultural machinery, which adopts a floating ring oil seal structure to seal between the output shaft and the housing to avoid wear of the sealing parts.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An oil-leakage-proof mid-mounted gearbox for agricultural machinery includes a housing, the front top of the housing is connected to an input shaft, the input shaft is connected to a small bevel gear inside the housing, the small bevel gear meshes with a large bevel gear, the large bevel gear is coaxially connected to a small gear, the small gear meshes with an intermediate gear, the intermediate gear meshes with an output gear, the output gear is sleeved on the output shaft, and both ends of the output shaft respectively pass through output holes on the left and right sides of the housing, and the output shaft and the output hole are sealed by a floating ring oil seal structure.
[0008] Preferably, the output shaft is divided into two left and right half shafts, one end of the two half shafts located inside the shell is key-connected to the output gear, and one end of the two half shafts located outside the shell is connected to the knife shaft connecting plate, and the half shafts and the knife shaft connecting plate are made as one piece.
[0009] Preferably, the floating ring oil seal structure includes: floating seal ring 1 and floating seal ring 2 which are sleeved on the outer circumference of the output shaft, ring recess 1 formed by the depression in the hole wall at the outer end of the output hole, ring recess 2 on the inner wall of the convex ring on the inner side surface of the cutter shaft connecting plate, and two rubber rings padded between ring recess 1 and floating seal ring 1 and between ring recess 2 and floating seal ring 2; the outer port diameter of ring recess 1 is large and the inner port diameter is small, while the inner port diameter of ring recess 2 is large and the outer port diameter is small.
[0010] Preferably, the inner end of the annular protrusion continues to extend toward the outer shell to form an insert ring, and the outer end surface of the output port has an annular slot, and the insert ring is located in the annular slot.
[0011] Preferably, the half shaft is rotatably connected to the output hole via a bearing, and an annular groove is provided on the inner side of the bearing of the half shaft, and a retaining ring is provided in the annular groove to prevent the half shaft from falling out.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The present invention improves the sealing structure of the output shaft of the mid-mounted gearbox and designs a floating ring oil seal structure for sealing, which effectively prevents wear of the output shaft and the housing at the sealing position, prevents oil leakage, increases the service life of accessories, and extends the maintenance cycle;
[0014] In order to achieve the above effects, the output shaft is improved into the form of two half-shafts. The outer end of the half-shaft is made into an integral part of the cutter shaft connecting plate, which makes assembly more convenient and the structure more stable. The spline connection between the output shaft and the cutter shaft connecting plate is eliminated, reducing the accident rate. The structure is more compact and will not miss plowing.
