[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 This application will be described in further detail.
[0029] This application discloses a wet clutch shifting device for differential drive of a tracked tractor, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the steering device includes a rear transmission housing 1, a housing 2, an input shaft 3, a reversing mechanism, a forward rotation mechanism, a limiting push mechanism, a hydraulic drive mechanism, and a reverse gear mechanism. There are two rear transmission housings 1, symmetrically mounted on both sides of the rear end of the transmission housing assembly 4. There are also two housings 2, symmetrically rotatably mounted inside the two rear transmission housings 1. There are two input shafts 3, with their rear ends extending into the interiors of the two rear transmission housings 1 and rotatably connected to the two housings 2. The front ends of the two input shafts 3 extend into the interior of the transmission housing assembly 4 and are connected to each other via a connecting assembly.
[0030] Specifically, the connecting assembly includes a spline sleeve 5 and clamping strips. The spline sleeve 5 is generally cylindrical, and several clamping strips are evenly installed on the inner wall of the spline sleeve 5. Several clamping grooves are formed on the outer front ends of both input shafts 3, and these grooves engage with the clamping strips, thereby fixing the front ends of the two input shafts 3 together via the spline sleeve 5. Simultaneously, one of the input shafts 3 cooperates with the output end of the transmission housing assembly 4, allowing the output end of the transmission housing assembly 4 to drive the input shaft 3 to rotate. Under the action of the structure formed by the spline sleeve 5, clamping strips, and clamping grooves, both input shafts 3 rotate simultaneously.
[0031] Additionally, refer to Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, two reversing mechanisms are provided, one inside the front end of each of the two housings 2 and the other between the shafts of the two input shafts 3. By providing the reversing mechanisms, the input shafts 3 and housings 2 can achieve the effect of reversing the power output. Specifically, the reversing mechanism includes a retracting friction plate 21, a retracting clutch gear 31, and a retracting baffle 22. The housing 2 has a retraction cavity 23 at its front inner side. Several retraction friction plates 21 are provided, slidably mounted inside the retraction cavity 23. A retraction clutch gear 31 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the input shaft 3 via a deep groove ball bearing, and simultaneously meshes with the retraction friction plates 21. Several retraction baffles 22 are provided, slidably mounted inside the retraction cavity 23, and abut against the retraction friction plates 21. Specifically, the retraction friction plates 21 and the retraction baffles 22 are spaced apart from each other, and are arranged around the outer side of the input shaft 3.
[0032] At the same time, refer to Figures 3-7In this embodiment, two forward rotation mechanisms are provided, which are respectively located between the inner rear ends of the two housings 2 and the shafts of the two input shafts 3. By setting the forward rotation mechanisms, the forward rotation power output effect of the input shafts 3 and housings 2 can be achieved. Specifically, the forward rotation mechanism includes a forward friction plate 24, a forward clutch gear 32, and a forward baffle 25. The housing 2 has a forward cavity 26 located on the inner rear end. Several forward friction plates 24 are provided, slidably mounted inside the forward cavity 26. A forward clutch gear 32 is mounted on the outer rear end of the input shaft 3 and meshes with the forward friction plates 24. Several forward baffles 25 are provided, slidably mounted inside the forward cavity 26 and abutting against the forward friction plates 24. Specifically, the forward friction plates 24 and the forward baffles 25 are spaced apart and arranged around the outer side of the input shaft 3.
[0033] Better, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 In this embodiment, three openings 27 are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of both ends of the housing 2. These openings 27 are respectively connected to the forward cavity 26 and the backward cavity 23. Three baffle protrusion groups 28 are provided on the outer sides of the backward baffles 22 and the forward baffles 25. These baffle protrusion groups 28 extend into the openings 27. Specifically, each baffle protrusion group 28 is provided with two baffle protrusions, and the two baffle protrusions abut against the two sides of the opening 27 respectively, so as to effectively limit the backward baffles 22 and the forward baffles 25.
[0034] More specifically, when the forward end baffles 25 and the forward end friction plates 24 are fully clamped together, the forward end baffles 25 and the forward end friction plates 24 do not rotate relative to each other. Since the forward end friction plates 24 are engaged with the forward end clutch gear 32, when the input shaft 3 rotates, it drives the forward end clutch gear 32 to rotate. The forward end clutch gear 32 then drives the forward end baffles 25 and the forward end friction plates 24 to rotate simultaneously. At this time, since the baffle protrusion group 28 and the inner side of the opening 27 on the housing 2 mutually limit and abut against each other, the forward end baffles 25 drive the entire housing 2 to rotate.
[0035] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In this embodiment, two limiting and pushing mechanisms are provided, each located inside one of the two housings 2, and each limiting and pushing mechanism cooperates with a reversing mechanism and a forward rotating mechanism, respectively. Specifically, the limiting and pushing mechanism includes a retracting pushing ring plate 29, a forward pushing ring plate 210, a limiting plate 211, a limiting member 212, and a fixing clamp 213. The retracting pushing ring plate 29 is slidably installed inside the retracting end cavity 23 of the housing 2, with one side of the retracting pushing ring plate 29 abutting against the retracting end friction plate 21 located at the rearmost end, and the other side abutting against the inner side of the housing 2; the forward pushing ring plate 210 is slidably installed inside the forward end cavity 26 of the housing 2, with one side of the forward pushing ring plate 210 abutting against the forward end friction plate 24 located at the foremost end, and the other side abutting against the inner side of the housing 2.
[0036] Meanwhile, six limiting plates 211 are provided, three of which are installed on the outer side of the retracting push ring plate 29, and the other three are installed on the outer side of the forward push ring plate 210. These limiting plates 211 cooperate with the openings 27 to extend out of the housing 2 along the openings 27. Three limiting members 212 are provided, installed between the limiting plates 211. These limiting members 212 are all bolt and nut mating structures, which securely install corresponding limiting plates 211, thereby connecting the retracting push ring plate 29 and the forward push ring plate 210.
[0037] Clamping grooves 214 are provided on the inner walls of the forward cavity 26 and the rear cavity 23 of the housing 2. Two clamping clamps 213 are provided, and the two clamping clamps 213 are respectively installed in the two clamping grooves 214. The clamping clamp 213 at the front end abuts against the rearmost rear end baffle 22, and the clamping clamp 213 at the rear end abuts against the forward end baffle 25 at the rear end. In this way, by using the rearward pushing ring plate 29 and one clamping clamp 213, the rear end friction plates 21 and the rear end baffle 22, which are designed to be spaced apart, can be limited and clamped. By using the forward pushing ring plate 210 and another clamping clamp 213, the forward end friction plates 24 and the forward end baffle 25, which are designed to be spaced apart, can be limited and clamped.
[0038] Secondly, refer to Figures 3-5In this embodiment, two hydraulic drive mechanisms are provided, each installed between the middle of the two housings 2 and the middle of the two input shafts 3, and each hydraulic drive mechanism cooperates with two limiting push mechanisms. Specifically, the hydraulic drive mechanism includes a piston 215 and a butterfly spring 216. The piston 215 is installed on the inner wall of the rearward end cavity 23 of the housing 2, and is connected to the hydraulic oil supply device in the tractor body. The output end of the piston 215 abuts against the side of the rearward push ring plate 29 facing the forward push ring plate 210. Several butterfly springs 216 are provided, and these butterfly springs 216 are slidably installed in the forward end cavity 26 of the housing 2. The rightmost butterfly spring 216 abuts against the side of the forward push ring plate 210 facing the rearward push ring plate 29. Thus, these butterfly springs 216 are designed to be stacked on the left and right to provide sufficient elastic extension.
[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, a hydraulic circuit device is also included. This device includes a fixed flange 217 mounted on the end of the housing 2. A hydraulic oil inlet 218 is provided within the fixed flange 217. The hydraulic oil inlet 218 is connected to the output end of a hydraulic oil supply system installed inside the tractor, thereby injecting hydraulic oil into the hydraulic oil inlet 218. An input shaft inlet 34 is provided within the input shaft 3, communicating with the hydraulic oil inlet 218. A hydraulic oil outlet 219 is also provided within the housing 2. The two ends of 219 are respectively connected to the input shaft oil inlet 34 and the retracting end cavity 23. The front end of the input shaft oil inlet 34 is closed and the rear end is equipped with a ball expansion plug 35 to seal the rear end of the input shaft oil inlet 34. Hydraulic oil enters from the hydraulic oil inlet 218 and then enters the hydraulic oil outlet 219 along the input shaft oil inlet 34. At the same time, the hydraulic oil enters the retracting end cavity 23 from the hydraulic oil outlet 219 and pushes the piston 215 outward, thereby starting the piston 215.
[0040] Finally, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 8In this embodiment, two reverse gear mechanisms are provided, each mounted on the rear side of one of the two housings 2, and each of the two reverse gear mechanisms cooperates with the rear ends of the two input shafts 3. Specifically, the reverse gear mechanism includes a reverse gear carrier 6, a first fixed shaft 61, a double gear sleeve 62, a second fixed shaft 63, a reverse gear 64, an intermediate shaft 7, a linkage gear assembly, and a planetary reduction assembly. The reverse gear carrier 6 is mounted on the rear side of the housing 2; several first fixed shafts 61 are provided, each mounted inside the reverse gear carrier 6; several double gear sleeves 62 are provided, each including a sleeve rotatably mounted on the first fixed shaft 61 and two gears mounted on the outer side of the sleeve.
[0041] Several fixed shafts 63 are provided, and these fixed shafts 63 are respectively installed inside the reverse gear carrier 6; several reverse gears 64 are provided, and these reverse gears 64 are rotatably mounted on the fixed shafts 63, and these reverse gears 64 respectively mesh with the gears at the rear end of the double gear sleeves 62. Specifically, the reverse gears 64 and the double gear sleeves 62 are designed to be spaced apart from each other.
[0042] Meanwhile, the intermediate shaft 7 is rotatably mounted at the rear end of the input shaft 3; the linkage gear assembly is located between the front end of the intermediate shaft 7 and the rear end of the forward clutch gear 32, and the linkage gear assembly respectively cooperates with the double gear sleeve 62 and the reverse gear 64. Specifically, in this embodiment, the linkage gear assembly includes a first linkage gear 33 and a second linkage gear 71. A connecting sleeve is installed at the rear end of the forward clutch gear 32, and the connecting sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the input shaft 3. The first linkage gear 33 is mounted on the outer side of the rear end of the connecting sleeve, so that the forward clutch gear 32, the connecting sleeve, and the first linkage gear 33 form a double gear structure, and the first linkage gear 33 simultaneously meshes with the gears at the front end of the double gear sleeve 62; the second linkage gear 71 is mounted on the front end of the intermediate shaft 7, and the second linkage gear 71 simultaneously meshes with the reverse gear 64.
[0043] When the input shaft 3 drives the forward clutch gear 32 to rotate clockwise, the forward clutch gear 32 simultaneously drives the first linkage gear 33 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the first linkage gear 33 simultaneously drives the double gear sets 62 to rotate counterclockwise. The double gear sets 62 then drive the reverse gears 64 to rotate clockwise. Then, the reverse gears 64 simultaneously drive the second linkage gear 71 to rotate counterclockwise. Finally, the second linkage gear 71 drives the intermediate shaft 7 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing the reverse deceleration output process of the intermediate shaft 7.
[0044] More specifically, when the retracting friction plate 21 and the retracting baffle 22 are disengaged from each other, a 1.3mm gap is provided between the foremost retracting baffle 22 and the fixing clamp 213 located in the retracting cavity 23. This gap is the movement distance when the retracting friction plate 21 and the retracting baffle 22 are fully engaged with each other. When hydraulic oil enters, it pushes the piston 215 outward, causing the piston 215 to drive the retracting push ring plate 29 to move. This causes the retracting push ring plate 29 to drive the forward push ring plate 210 to press the disc spring 216 forward and overcome the elastic force of the disc spring 216. This causes the forward end friction plate 24 and the forward end baffle 25 to disengage from each other. When the forward end friction plate 24 is completely disengaged from friction, the retracting end friction plate 21 and the retracting end baffle 22 engage with each other to press the gap to the bottom. As oil continues to enter, the retracting push ring plate 29 continues to move to press the retracting end friction plate 21. This process can successively realize the reverse half-clutch and the fully reverse state.
[0045] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 9 In this embodiment, the planetary reduction assembly is installed between the rear end of the intermediate shaft 7 and the rear side of the rear transmission housing 1, and the output end of the planetary reduction assembly cooperates with the track assembly, thereby achieving an effective deceleration effect on the forward and reverse power output of the track assembly.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the planetary reduction assembly includes a gear reducer 8, a reduction ring gear 81, an output shaft 9, a planetary carrier 91, a gear shaft 92, a planetary gear 93, and an output gear 94. The gear reducer 8 is mounted on the rear side of the rear transmission housing 1; the reduction ring gear 81 is mounted in the middle of the gear reducer 8; the front end of the output shaft 9 is mounted on the rear end of the intermediate shaft 7, and the track assembly includes a drive wheel 95 mounted on the rear end of the output shaft 9; the planetary carrier 91 is rotatably mounted on the shaft of the output shaft 9, and the planetary carrier 91 is located inside the reduction ring gear 81.
[0047] The gear shaft 92 is provided with three shafts, each mounted inside the planetary carrier 91. Three planetary gears 93 are rotatably mounted on the three gear shafts 92, and each planetary gear 93 meshes with the reduction ring gear 81. The output gear 94 is mounted on the front end of the output shaft 9, and simultaneously meshes with the planetary gears 93. This structure, with its gear reducer 8, reduction ring gear 81, output shaft 9, planetary carrier 91, gear shaft 92, planetary gears 93, and output gear 94 working together, effectively reduces the speed of both forward and reverse rotation power output of the track assembly.
[0048] In summary, the solution proposed in this application, through the coordinated structure of the rear transmission housing 1, housing 2, input shaft 3, reversing mechanism, forward rotation mechanism, limit pushing mechanism, hydraulic drive mechanism, and reverse gear mechanism, not only achieves a smooth and stable steering operation during use, but also facilitates operation and adjustment, thereby improving the comfort of steering operation, and can also achieve multiple steering effects. At the same time, the structure of this device is relatively simple and compact, with a long service life and no need for frequent replacement, resulting in high work efficiency and low maintenance costs.
[0049] When forward rotation is required, the oil pressure is zero, the piston 215 stops, and the disc springs 216 compress the forward push ring plate 210 according to their own elastic force. This causes the forward push ring plate 210 to compress the spaced-apart forward end friction plates 24 and forward end baffles 25, making them fully engaged. This ensures that the forward end friction plates 24 and forward end baffles 25 are clamped together with no relative rotation. Simultaneously, the forward end friction plates 24 mesh with the forward end clutch gear 32, and the power from the input shaft 3 drives the forward end clutch gear 32 to rotate. This causes the forward end clutch gear 32 to drive the forward end friction plates 24 and forward end baffles 25 to rotate, thus causing the baffles on the forward end baffles 25 to... The cam assembly 28 drives the entire housing 2 to rotate. Since the reverse gear carrier 6 is installed on the rear side of the housing 2, the housing 2 drives the reverse gear carrier 6 to rotate at the same speed. Since the first linkage gear 33 meshes with the gear at the front end of the double gear set 62, and the gear at the rear end of the double gear set 62 meshes with the reverse gear 64, and the reverse gear 64 meshes with the second linkage gear 71, when the reverse gear carrier 6 rotates at the same speed, the first linkage gear 33, the double gear set 62, the reverse gear 64, and the second linkage gear 71 are in a relatively stationary state. This enables the forward rotation power output of the input shaft 3 to be transmitted to the intermediate shaft 7 at the same speed, so that the intermediate shaft 7 can also achieve a forward rotation power output state. Finally, the intermediate shaft 7 achieves forward rotation deceleration through the planetary reduction assembly.
[0050] When forward half-clutch power output is required, the oil pressure is increased, and piston 215 starts. The output end of piston 215 drives the retracting push ring plate 29 to move. At this time, the retracting push ring plate 29 drives the forward push ring plate 210 to press the disc spring 216 forward, overcoming part of the pressure of the disc spring 216. This causes the forward friction plates 24 and the forward baffles 25 to not be completely engaged, so that the forward friction plates 24 and the forward baffles 25 rotate relative to each other. At this time, the entire housing 2 can still be driven. When the input shaft 3 rotates, the housing 2 drives the reverse gear carrier 6 to rotate. However, due to the relative rotation of the forward friction plate 24 and the forward baffle 25, the reverse gear carrier 6 and the housing 2 rotate at different speeds with the input shaft 3. In this way, when the input shaft 3 outputs power, the forward rotation power output of the input shaft 3 can be transmitted to the intermediate shaft 7, so that the intermediate shaft 7 can also achieve a forward rotation power output state. However, at this time, the input shaft 3 and the intermediate shaft 7 rotate at different speeds. Finally, the intermediate shaft 7 achieves forward rotation half-clutch through the planetary reduction assembly.
[0051] When neutral / braking is required, the oil pressure continues to increase. The output end of the piston 215 continues to drive the reversing push ring plate 29 to move. At this time, the reversing push ring plate 29 continues to drive the forward push ring plate 210 to squeeze the disc spring 216 forward to overcome the full pressure of the disc spring 216. This causes the forward friction plates 24 and the forward baffle 25 to disengage from each other. The forward clutch gear 32 only drives the forward friction plates 24 to rotate, and does not simultaneously drive the forward baffle 25, the housing 2, and the reverse gear frame 6 to rotate. At the same time, the input shaft 3 and the intermediate shaft 7 are rotatably connected, so that the input shaft 3 is in an idling state and cannot transmit power to the intermediate shaft 7. This cuts off the power to the drive wheel 95, thus achieving neutral / braking.
[0052] When reverse half-clutch power output is required, the oil pressure is increased further, causing the output end of piston 215 to drive the retracting ring plate 29 to continue moving. This causes the retracting friction plates 21 and retracting baffles 22 to engage, resulting in relative rotation between them. Simultaneously, the retracting friction plates 21 mesh with the retracting clutch gear 31, and due to the retracting clutch gear 31's rotational connection with the input shaft 3, the housing 2 and reverse gear carrier 6 rotate slowly clockwise relative to the input shaft 3. This causes the power output from the input shaft 3 to drive the forward clutch gear 32 clockwise. When the clock hand rotates clockwise, the forward clutch gear 32 simultaneously drives the first linkage gear 33 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the first linkage gear 33 simultaneously drives the double gear sets 62 to rotate counterclockwise. The double gear sets 62 then drive the reverse gears 64 to rotate clockwise. Then, the reverse gears 64 simultaneously drive the second linkage gear 71 to rotate counterclockwise. Finally, the second linkage gear 71 drives the intermediate shaft 7 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing the reverse deceleration output process of the intermediate shaft 7. Finally, the intermediate shaft 7 is decelerated again in reverse through the planetary reduction assembly, thus realizing the reverse half-clutch power output process.
[0053] When reverse power output is required, the oil pressure is increased, and the output end of the piston 215 continues to drive the retracting push ring plate 29 to move, so that the retracting friction plates 21 and the retracting baffle 22 are fully engaged, so that the retracting friction plates 21 and the retracting baffle 22 do not rotate relative to each other. Under the action of the retracting friction plates 21 meshing with the retracting clutch gear 31, and because the retracting clutch gear 31 is rotatably connected to the input shaft 3, the housing 2 and the reverse gear carrier 6 are in a stationary state. Then, under the action of the meshing of the linkage gear one, the double gear set, the reverse gear, and the linkage gear two, the intermediate shaft 7 rotates counterclockwise, thereby realizing the complete reverse deceleration output process of the intermediate shaft 7. Finally, the intermediate shaft 7 is reversed again by the planetary reduction assembly, thus realizing the complete reverse power output process.
[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 10 In this embodiment, when differential steering is performed, the hydraulic pressure of the drive half shaft on the inner side of the steering increases to the point that the friction plate 24 and the baffle 25 on the front end are partially engaged, the speed of the drive wheel 95 decreases, while the speed on the outer side of the steering remains unchanged. Differential steering is achieved by the speed difference between the outer and inner sides of the steering.
[0055] When braking and steering are performed, the hydraulic pressure of the inner steering drive half shaft increases until the friction plate 24 and the baffle 25 at the front end disengage, and the speed of the drive wheel 95 drops to zero, thus braking the inner steering drive wheel 95. Meanwhile, the speed of the outer steering wheel remains unchanged, and braking and steering are achieved only through the movement of the outer steering wheel.
[0056] When turning in place, the hydraulic pressure of the inner drive half shaft increases to engage the friction plate 21 and the baffle 22 at the rear end, causing the drive wheel 95 to reverse, while the steering of the outer drive wheel 95 remains unchanged. The rotation speed of the inner and outer drive wheels 95 is controlled by the electro-hydraulic system in the tractor body to achieve turning in place.
