Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery and relates to a hydraulic steering mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A lawn mower is a mechanical device used to mow the lawn. It usually consists of a rotating blade or blades, driven by a mechanical or electrical power source, to cut and trim the grass on the lawn.
[0003] The direction of travel of the lawn mower needs to be adjusted by the user. Existing lawn mowers usually rely entirely on the user to apply external force to force the lawn mower to turn. This steering method makes the lawn mower more laborious to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hydraulic steering mechanism which is easy to operate and compact in structure in view of the above problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A hydraulic steering mechanism, a lawn mower comprises a frame and a wheel connected to the lower part of the frame, characterized in that the hydraulic steering mechanism comprises a driving member, a pump body 1, a pump body 2, a pump body 3, a pump body 4, an operating rod assembly 1 and an operating rod assembly 2, the driving member is fixedly connected to the frame, the pump body 1 and the pump body 2 are both fixedly connected to the frame and both are adjacent to the driving member, the pump body 3 and the pump body 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the frame, the hydraulic oil circulates between the pump body 1 and the pump body 3 through a hydraulic pipeline, the hydraulic oil circulates between the pump body 2 and the pump body 4 through a hydraulic pipeline, a rotatable shaft 1 is axially fixed in the pump body 3, one of the wheels is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1, a rotatable shaft 2 is axially fixed in the pump body 4, and another wheel is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2, the operating rod assembly 1 can control the flow of hydraulic oil entering the pump body 3, and the operating rod assembly 2 can control the flow of hydraulic oil entering the pump body 4.
[0007] The hydraulic steering mechanism creatively turns the lawn mower left by operating the first operating lever assembly, and the second operating lever assembly is not operated during the process.
[0008] The lawn mower is turned right by operating the second operating lever assembly, and the first operating lever assembly is not operated during this process.
[0009] Specifically, the operation lever assembly 1 can reduce the flow of hydraulic oil entering the pump body 3 after it is actuated. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the pump body 4 maintains the normal flow. Since the flow in the pump body 3 is less than the flow in the pump body 4,
[0010] Pump body three and pump body four respectively drive the corresponding wheels to rotate, which causes the wheel speed at pump body three to slow down, thereby realizing the steering of the entire vehicle.
[0011] Similarly, when the flow rate in pump body four is less than the flow rate in pump body three, the whole vehicle turns in the opposite direction.
[0012] Of course, the driving member continuously drives the pump body 1 and the pump body 2 to move, ensuring that the hydraulic oil continues to flow in the pump body 3 and the pump body 4, and finally ensuring the stable movement of the entire lawn mower.
[0013] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, a rotatable paddle blade is axially fixedly connected to the pump body one, and the outer end of the paddle blade extends out of the pump body one and is connected to the driving member. The pump body one has an oil inlet port one and an oil return port one communicated with its inner cavity. The pump body three has a paddle blade two, and the paddle blade two is fixedly connected to the inner end of the rotating shaft one. The pump body three has an oil inlet port two and an oil return port two communicated with its inner cavity. The oil inlet port one is connected to the oil inlet port two through a pipe body one, and the oil return port one is connected to the oil return port two through a pipe body two.
[0014] During the continuous rotation of blade 1, the hydraulic oil in pump body 1 can stably enter pump body 3 through pipe body 1. Of course, the hydraulic pressure in pump body 3 can flow back to pump body 1 through pipe body 2, thereby ensuring that the hydraulic oil circulates in pump body 1 and pump body 3.
[0015] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, a rotatable paddle three is axially fixedly connected to the pump body two, and the outer end of the paddle three extends out of the pump body two and is connected to the driving member. The pump body two has an oil inlet three and an oil return port three communicated with its inner cavity. The pump body four has a paddle four, and the paddle four is fixedly connected to the inner end of the rotating shaft two. The pump body four has an oil inlet four and an oil return port four communicated with its inner cavity. The oil inlet three is connected to the oil inlet four through the pipe body three, and the oil return port three is connected to the oil return port four through the pipe body four.
[0016] During the continuous rotation of blade 3, the hydraulic oil in pump body 2 can stably enter pump body 4 through pipe body 3. Of course, the hydraulic pressure in pump body 4 can flow back to pump body 2 through pipe body 4, thereby ensuring that the hydraulic oil circulates in pump body 2 and pump body 4.
[0017] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the operating rod assembly 1 includes a pull rod 1, a connecting rod 1, a connecting rod 2 and a valve 1. The above-mentioned valve 1 is connected to an oil inlet of a pump body 1. The above-mentioned pull rod 1 is vertically arranged and the middle part of the pull rod 1 is hinged to one side of the frame. One end of the above-mentioned connecting rod 1 is hinged to a lower end of the pull rod, and the other end of the connecting rod 1 is connected to the valve 1. One end of the connecting rod 2 is hinged to the pull rod 1, and a damper 1 is provided between the other end of the connecting rod 2 and the frame. Under the action of the damper 1, the pull rod 1 can be kept in a vertical state.
[0018] In the initial state, the pull rod 1 is kept in a vertical state under the action of the damper 1. After the external force is applied to pull the pull rod 1, the valve 1 is driven to move through the connecting rod 1. Since the valve 1 is located at the oil inlet of the pump body 1, the opening of the oil inlet 1 becomes smaller, reducing the flow of hydraulic oil entering the pump body 3, and finally slowing down the rotation speed of the wheels at the pump body 3.
[0019] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the operating rod assembly 2 includes a pull rod 2, a connecting rod 3, a connecting rod 4 and a valve 2. The above-mentioned valve 2 is connected to the oil inlet 3 of the pump body 2. The above-mentioned pull rod 2 is vertically arranged and the middle part of the pull rod 2 is hinged to the other side of the frame. One end of the above-mentioned connecting rod 3 is hinged to the lower end of the pull rod 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 3 is connected to the valve 2. One end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the pull rod 2, and a damper 2 is provided between the other end of the connecting rod 4 and the frame. Under the action of the damper 2, the pull rod 2 can be kept in a vertical state.
[0020] In the initial state, the pull rod 2 is kept in a vertical state under the action of the damper 2. After the external force is applied to pull the pull rod 2, the valve 2 is driven to move through the connecting rod 2. Since the valve 2 is located at the oil inlet 3 of the pump body 2, the opening of the oil inlet 3 becomes smaller, reducing the flow of hydraulic oil entering the four parts of the pump body, and finally slowing down the rotation speed of the wheels of the four parts of the pump body.
[0021] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, a seat is fixedly connected to the frame, and the above-mentioned pull rod 1 and pull rod 2 are respectively located at two sides of the seat.
[0022] The pull rod one is located at the left side of the seat, and the pull rod two is located at the right side of the seat. People sitting on the seat can easily pull the pull rod one or the pull rod two.
[0023] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the pull rod 1 is provided with a handle 1 bent toward the seat direction.
[0024] The pull rod can be conveniently pulled by the handle.
[0025] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the second pull rod is provided with a second handle which is bent toward the seat.
[0026] The pull rod 2 can be conveniently pulled by the handle 2.
[0027] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the outer end of the paddle blade one is fixedly connected to the driven wheel one, the outer end of the paddle blade three is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel two, the above-mentioned driving component is an engine, the output end of the engine is fixedly connected to the driving wheel, and also includes a transmission belt, which is connected to the driving wheel, the driven wheel one and the driven wheel two.
[0028] When the driving member drives the driven wheel 1 and the driven wheel 2 to continuously rotate through the transmission belt, the hydraulic oil in the pump body 1 can circulate and the hydraulic oil in the pump body 2 can circulate.
[0029] In the above-mentioned hydraulic steering mechanism, the driving wheel is located at the upper part of the frame, and the above-mentioned driven wheel one and driven wheel two are connected to the frame at both sides of the lower part of the driving wheel.
[0030] Such a structure can enable the driving wheel to smoothly drive the driven wheel one and the driven wheel two to rotate.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the hydraulic steering mechanism has a simple and compact structure because the steering and driving of the vehicle both adopt the hydraulic system between the pump body 1 and the pump body 3 and between the pump body 2 and the pump body 4.
[0032] During the actual steering process, only one pull rod one or two pull rods need to be pulled, which is easy to operate and has high practical value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
