Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tractors, in particular to a neutral gear detection device and a tractor. Background Art

[0002] Due to the characteristics of tractors with multiple gears and multiple slide bar gearboxes, it is difficult to install a neutral gear detection device. Currently, neutral gear detection devices are rarely used in the tractor field. Some National IV tractor products have added a parking regeneration function. During parking regeneration, it is necessary to detect whether the tractor is in neutral or not moving. Moreover, the gear-engaging structure of existing tractors is mechanical, and the moving parts of the mechanical structure have errors during installation and movement, which makes it difficult for general neutral gear detection devices to meet the needs.

[0003] After searching, Patent Document 1 (Chinese invention application, publication number CN 111173929 A) discloses a tractor neutral gear position detection device, including a neutral gear detection switch, a movable body, a neutral gear push rod, an interlocking pin and a gear slide rod. When the gear slide rod moves axially to engage the gear, the movable body leaves the neutral gear groove and is directly lifted up or indirectly lifted up through the force transmission of the interlocking pin and the neutral gear push rod, thereby triggering the neutral gear detection switch to identify the non-neutral gear position. However, the neutral gear position detection device in Patent Document 1 has the following problems: first, the structure of the device is relatively complex and the reliability is relatively poor; second, the device is set at the gearbox end, which is not convenient for installation and debugging and modification and design of existing products.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a neutral gear detection device to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a neutral gear detection device, which is mainly used in tractors and is arranged in a cab hood, which is easy to install and adjust, and does not require structural adaptability design of the tractor's gearbox 6. The neutral gear detection device includes: a first rocker arm 3 and a neutral gear detection switch 2.

[0030] The first rocker arm 3 includes: a first connecting portion 31, a sleeve portion 34 and a baffle portion 33. The first connecting portion 31 is connected to the shift operating lever and maintains synchronous movement. The sleeve portion 34 is fixedly connected to the first connecting portion 31 and is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 13. The baffle portion 33 is fixedly connected to the sleeve portion 34 and rotates integrally with the first connecting portion 31.

[0031] See attached Figure 2 The baffle portion 33 includes a main body 331 and a notch portion 332; the main body 331 has a fan-shaped structure with the rocker arm rotation point as the center; the notch portion 332 is arranged at the outer edge of the main body 331, and the depth of the notch portion 332 is at least greater than the effective stroke of the neutral detection switch 2. Preferably, the distance between the inner edge of the notch portion 332 and the neutral detection switch 2 is at least 1 mm, leaving enough installation error.

[0032] The neutral detection switch 2 is a normally closed switch, which is connected in series in the neutral detection circuit, and is used to open or close the neutral detection circuit to determine whether the tractor is in a neutral state. In addition, the neutral detection switch 2 has a contact point 21, and the contact point 21 is located on the movement track of the baffle portion 33.

[0033] When the shift lever is in the neutral state, the contact 21 is just located in the notch portion 332, the baffle portion 33 and the contact 21 are in a disengaged state, and the neutral detection switch 2 is in a closed state; when the shift lever is in the forward gear or reverse gear position, the baffle portion 33 rotates to contact the contact 21, and the contact 21 is pressed by the main body portion 331, triggering the neutral detection switch 2 to disconnect.

[0034] Of course, for those skilled in the art, the neutral detection switch 2 is not limited to a normally closed switch, but can also be a normally open switch, and adaptive adjustments can be made to the control logic of the neutral detection circuit, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The neutral gear detection switch 2 is arranged in the cab hood, which is convenient for installation and adjustment of the neutral gear detection device. Specifically, a hanging bracket is arranged in the cab hood, the neutral gear detection switch 2 is installed on the hanging bracket 1 through the first bracket 11, and the rotating shaft 13 is installed on the hanging bracket through the second bracket 12.

[0036] Since there are errors in the installation and movement of the moving parts of the mechanical structure, in order to overcome the above problems, in this embodiment, a first waist-shaped hole 111 in the horizontal direction is opened at the lower part of the first bracket 11, and the first bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the hanging bracket 1 by bolts, and a second waist-shaped hole 112 in the vertical direction is opened at the upper part of the first bracket 11, and the neutral detection switch 2 is fixedly installed on the first bracket 11 by bolts. Therefore, the fixed position of the neutral detection switch 2 can be adjusted in the left and right directions and the up and down directions, and the neutral detection switch 2 body is equipped with an adjustment fastening nut 22, which can adjust the relative front and rear positions of the switch.

[0037] The first output part 32 is also fixedly mounted on the sleeve part 34, and the first output part 32 is connected to the shift actuator through a mechanical structure. Specifically, a second rocker arm 5 is provided on the gearbox 6, and the second arm includes a second connection part 51 and a second output part 52 that rotates integrally with the second connection part 51. The second connection part 51 is connected to the first output part 32 through a cable, and the second output part 52 is connected to the shift actuator of the gearbox 6. The first rocker arm 3 is driven to rotate by the shift operating lever, and then the second rocker arm 5 is driven to rotate by the cable structure 4, so as to control the shift actuator of the gearbox 6.
