[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 — Figure 2 :

[0022] A closed harvester header gearbox assembly, including an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 combined to form a shell cavity 10, a spline shaft 3 penetrating the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 is provided in the shell cavity 10, a flange shaft 4 is sleeved on the input end of the spline shaft 3, a first shift fork gear 50 sleeved on the flange shaft 4 and meshing with the side wall of the flange shaft 4 is provided in the shell cavity 10, a shift fork shaft 5 is provided in the shell cavity 10, a shift fork 51 that moves left and right with the shift fork shaft 5 is fixed on the shift fork shaft 5, a meshing sleeve 52 that meshes with the side wall of the spline shaft 3 is adapted on the shift fork opening of the shift fork 51, a first combining tooth 500 adapted to the meshing sleeve 52 is provided on the first shift fork gear 50, and when the shift fork 51 moves to the right, the meshing sleeve 52 simultaneously meshes with the spline shaft 3. The shell cavity 10 is provided with an intermediate shaft 6 parallel to the spline shaft 3, and the intermediate shaft 6 is axially fixed with a first driven gear 60 meshing with the outer teeth of the first shift fork gear 50, and the intermediate shaft 6 is axially fixed with a second driven gear 61 located on one side of the first driven gear 60. The spline shaft 3 is movably sleeved with a second shift fork gear 53 located on the left side of the shift fork, and the second shift fork gear 53 is provided with a second combining tooth 530 adapted to the meshing sleeve 52, and the outer teeth of the second shift fork gear 53 are meshed with the outer teeth of the second driven gear 61. When the shift fork 51 moves to the left, the meshing sleeve 52 meshes with the side wall of the spline shaft 3 and the second combining tooth 530 at the same time.

[0023] During the implementation process, the upper shell or the lower shell is equipped with special oil filling and draining holes and ventilation holes for lubrication of gears and shafts.

[0024] Specifically, three different output modes are realized by the three states of the fork shaft;

[0025] When the fork shaft 5 is in the middle position, the engagement sleeve 52 only engages with the side wall of the spline shaft 3, that is, the power input is directly output through the spline shaft 3, and the speed ratio is 1:1.

[0026] When the fork shaft moves to the right, the fork 51 drives the engagement sleeve 52 to move to the right, and the engagement sleeve 52 engages the side wall of the spline shaft 3 and the first coupling tooth 500. At this time, the power is input from the flange shaft 4, and the flange shaft 4 drives the first fork gear 50 and the first coupling tooth 500 to rotate in turn, and drives the output of the spline shaft 3 through the engagement sleeve 52, and the speed ratio is 1:1. It is worth mentioning that this speed ratio is different from the above speed ratio because the rotation speed of the input spline shaft 3 is different from the rotation speed of the flange shaft 4.

[0027] When the fork shaft moves to the left, the fork 51 drives the engagement sleeve 52 to move to the left, and the engagement sleeve 52 engages the side wall of the spline shaft 3 and the second coupling tooth 530. At this time, the power is input from the flange shaft 4, and the flange shaft 4 drives the first fork gear 50, the first driven gear 60, the intermediate shaft 6, the second driven gear 61, the second fork gear 53 and the second coupling tooth 530 in sequence. Because the second coupling tooth 530 and the side wall of the spline shaft 3 are all engaged through the engagement sleeve 52, the output of the spline shaft 3 is driven, and the speed ratio is about 1:1.106.

[0028] In the second case mentioned above, that is, when the shift fork moves to the right, since the second shift fork gear 53 is movably mounted on the spline shaft 3, the rotation of the flange shaft 4 drives the first shift fork gear, the first driven gear, the intermediate shaft, the second driven gear and the second shift fork gear to rotate without causing the spline shaft to rotate.

[0029] Preferably, a first oil seal 70 is sleeved at the connection where the spline shaft 3 extends out of the lower shell 2 , a second oil seal 71 is provided between the spline shaft 3 and the flange shaft 4 , and a third oil seal 72 is provided at the connection between the flange shaft 4 and the upper shell 1 .

[0030] In the above structure, since the above position is a movable position, an oil seal is provided to ensure the sealing effect of the oil.

[0031] Preferably, a needle bearing 30 is provided between the second shift fork gear 53 and the spline shaft 3 to movably connect the second shift fork gear 53 and the spline shaft 3 .

[0032] Preferably, a fourth oil seal 74 is provided at the connection point where the fork shaft 5 extends out of the lower housing 2 to prevent oil leakage from occurring at the fork shaft 5 .

[0033] Preferably, the side wall of the flange shaft 4 is sleeved with a plurality of support bearings 40 whose outer wall abuts against the inner wall of the upper shell 1, so that the flange shaft is more stable when rotating and is not prone to axial shaking.

[0034] Preferably, the upper housing 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11 for mounting the intermediate shaft 6, the mounting hole 11 is sealed with an end cover 12, and a sealing ring is provided between the end cover 12 and the mounting hole 11, so as to facilitate installation, maintenance, oiling and other operations.

[0035] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
