Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a tractor and a steering control mechanism thereof, in particular to a tractor steering column bracket. Background Art

[0002] The steering column is required in the steering mechanism of tractors and various self-propelled agricultural and forestry machinery to transfer the rotational torque of the steering wheel to the steering gear below. The steering column is the bridge between the steering system and the steering gear. Through the steering column, the driver transfers the torque to the steering gear, driving the steering gear to achieve steering. Another Chinese patent of mine, 2023227873557, discloses "A Steering Column Adjustable Up and Down, Front and Back", with the announcement number CN220809539U. The steering column can not only adjust the height, but also adjust the front and rear inclination angle to adapt to drivers of different heights and different operating habits. In order to adapt to the installation of the steering column, it is necessary to set a steering column bracket on the driving position of the tractor, and hinge the steering column and the gas spring respectively through the two hinge seats on the steering column bracket. The inclination angle of the steering column can be changed when the gas spring is extended and retracted, and the hinge point of the steering column and the gas spring will also deflect at a certain angle. It was found in actual use that due to the low processing precision, the friction between the two hinge seats on the steering column bracket and the steering column or gas spring is relatively large, making it very difficult to adjust the inclination angle of the steering column. After long-term use, the hinge seats are severely worn, posing a hidden danger to safe driving. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a tractor steering column bracket with firm structure and flexible operation to solve the above problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is:

[0005] The utility model discloses a tractor steering column bracket, comprising a base plate, wherein a first hinge seat and a second hinge seat are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, wherein the first hinge seat and the second hinge seat each comprise two vertical plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the base plate, wherein the plate surface of the vertical plate is perpendicular to the base plate, wherein the upper end of the vertical plate is provided with a hinge shaft hole, wherein a sliding sleeve is installed in the hinge shaft hole, and a central hole is arranged on the base plate and between the two vertical plates of the first hinge seat, and a plurality of mounting holes are arranged around the central hole.

[0006] Through this solution, by installing a sliding sleeve in the hinge shaft hole, the cooperation between the vertical plate and the hinge shaft can be optimized, so that the tractor steering column and the gas spring used to support the steering column can operate flexibly and reduce friction resistance.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is a circular tubular structure.

[0008] Through this solution, the sliding sleeve of the circular tubular structure is easy to assemble and has low production cost.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is a tubular structure with an outer wall being a hexagonal column structure and an inner cavity being a cylinder.

[0010] Through this solution, the sliding sleeve is accurately positioned and is not easy to fall off.

[0011] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is a needle bearing.

[0012] Through this solution, the needle roller bearing can further reduce the friction resistance.

[0013] Due to the adoption of the above structure, the steering column bracket can optimize the cooperation between the vertical plate and the hinge shaft by installing a sliding sleeve in the hinge shaft hole, so that the tractor steering column and the gas spring used to support the steering column can operate flexibly and reduce friction resistance.
