Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gearboxes, in particular to a universal traction gearbox. BACKGROUND

[0002] In agricultural production, the treatment of crop straw such as corn straw is an important link. These straws can not only be used as feed and fuel, but also can be recycled through methods such as returning to the field, so efficient collection and bundling of the straws is crucial. As a key device for completing this work, the performance of the straw bundling machine directly affects the efficiency and cost of straw treatment.

[0003] The universal traction gearbox, as a mechanical device capable of achieving multidirectional power transmission, has a wide range of applications in the transmission system of traditional straw bundling machines. It has a small radius of rotation, does not require a wide-angle transmission shaft, reduces the overall production cost of the straw bundling machine, improves the operating efficiency of the straw bundling machine, and is also a split structure, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The traditional universal traction gearbox is usually composed of two rotatingly connected gearboxes, and power transmission is achieved through a female shaft arranged at the rotating axis position. The female shaft is fixed with bevel gears at the internal positions of the two gearboxes. At the same time, a male shaft is arranged on each of the two gearboxes, and the male shaft is fixed with a gear meshing with the bevel gear at one end and penetrates the gearbox and connects the rotating input end and the rotating output end to achieve universal transmission of power. For example, a speed-adjusting traction gearbox for agricultural machinery disclosed in patent CN117329274B includes a gearbox, an input shaft, an output shaft, and a rotating shaft arranged on the gearbox. The gearbox includes a speed-adjusting gearbox and a rotating gearbox, and the rotating gearbox freely rotates around the speed-adjusting gearbox with the rotating shaft as the center of rotation.

[0004] However, the existing universal traction gearbox still has some deficiencies in actual operation. On the one hand, the lubricating oil in the gearbox may increase in impurities and decrease in performance after long-term use, which may cause increased gear wear, reduced transmission efficiency, and even equipment failure. However, the current gearbox lacks an effective oil detection mechanism, making it difficult to monitor the oil condition in real time and perform timely maintenance. On the other hand, in low-temperature environments, the viscosity of the lubricating oil increases significantly, and the flowability decreases, which not only affects the suction and spraying effect of the oil, leading to insufficient lubrication of the gears, but also increases the resistance of power transmission, further reducing the operating efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the existing gearbox usually lacks reliable liquid level detection devices, and cannot accurately determine the remaining amount of oil, which may cause equipment damage due to insufficient oil.

[0064] Specifically, when the male shaft 2 passes through the wall of a gear box 1, it passes through two bearings 12 and an oil seal 11 from inside to outside in sequence.

[0066] The composite detection unit 52 is provided with a rotating wheel 521, which is attached to the friction sheet 51, and the rotating shaft of the rotating wheel 521 is fixed to the rotary encoder, when the gear boxes 1 rotate relative to each other, the friction sheet 51 drives the rotating wheel 521 to rotate, and the rotary encoder is used to detect the rotation angle of the friction sheet 51, so as to detect the rotation angle of the two gear boxes 1.

[0068] It should be noted that when the level detects that the gear box 1 is in a horizontal state, no matter what angle the two gear boxes 1 rotate to, the two lubricating oil levels can be directly detected by the floating ring 43 in the two oil detection devices 4; when the level detects that the gear box 1 is in an inclined state, the inclination angle of the composite vertical pipe 42 of the gear box 1 provided with the level can be analyzed according to the horizontal inclination angle of the gear box 1, and the true total amount of lubricating oil can be analyzed in combination with the liquid level detected by the floating ring 43; and for the gear box 1 without the level, the inclination angle of the gear box 1 without the level can be determined according to the inclination angle of the gear box 1 provided with the level and the relative rotation angle of the two gear boxes 1, and the true total amount of lubricating oil can be analyzed in combination with the liquid level detected by the floating ring 43.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the oil detection device 4 is arranged at a corner position in the gear box 1, the oil detection device 4 comprises a tank wall 41, a partition plate 411 is arranged in the tank wall 41, the partition plate 411 divides the tank wall 41 into upper and lower two parts, a composite vertical pipe 42 and a floating ring 43 are arranged in the lower half of the tank wall 41, a heating device 422, a detection tank 44 and an oil pump 45 are arranged in the upper half of the tank wall 41, a liquid passage hole 412 is arranged on the lower half of the tank wall 41, a liquid injection pipe 46 passes through the upper half of the tank wall 41, and the tank wall 41 wraps the floating ring 43 in the lower half to prevent the floating ring 43 from moving and damaging the internal structure of the gear box 1 when the gear rotates.

[0074] It should be noted that the moisture sensor 442 realizes water content detection based on a capacitive sensing principle. Two parallel electrode plates are arranged inside the sensor to form a capacitor structure. When high-viscosity lubricating oil flows into the sensor cavity, the lubricating oil acts as the medium of the capacitor. Since there is a significant difference in the dielectric constant between water and lubricating oil, the dielectric constant of the mixed medium will change when water is mixed into the lubricating oil. The higher the water content, the greater the dielectric constant of the mixed medium. According to the formula C=εS / 4πkd, where ε is the dielectric constant, S is the area of the electrode plate, and d is the distance between the electrode plates, the capacitance value will increase accordingly. The built-in detection circuit of the sensor monitors the capacitance value in real time, converts it into an electrical signal through a signal processing module, and then converts the electrical signal into an accurate water content value through a calibration algorithm. Finally, the value is output to a display terminal or a control system, so as to realize accurate detection of the water content in high-viscosity lubricating oil.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, an ultraviolet sterilization assembly is arranged in the detection tank 44 to kill and prevent the spread of microorganisms in the detection tank 44 to contaminate the lubricating oil in the gear box 1.
