There are three groups of synchronizers inside the gearbox, one group of which controls the direction, and two groups of synchronizers control the gear position, so as to realize the separate control of reversing and speed changing of the gearbox of the road roller.

[0021] The specific installation relationship of the three sets of synchronizers is as follows: the input shaft 3 is equipped with a forward gear 4 and a reverse gear 6, which are supported on the journal of the input shaft 3 through needle bearings, and a reversing synchronizer assembly 5 is provided between the forward gear 4 and the reverse gear 6, which is fixedly connected to the input shaft 3 with an involute spline.

There are three gears on the intermediate transmission shaft 18, which rotate as a whole, and the two ends are supported on the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 through cylindrical roller bearings. The intermediate transmission shaft 20 is located below the intermediate transmission shaft 18, and its two ends are supported on the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 through cylindrical roller bearings. A long meshing gear is formed on it, which meshes with the gear on the output shaft assembly 26. The intermediate transmission shaft 20 is equipped with a first gear gear 19 and a second gear gear 22. A first and second gear synchronizer assembly 21 is provided between the first gear gear 19 and the second gear gear 22. The intermediate transmission shaft 20 is also equipped with a third gear gear 28 and a third gear synchronizer 29. Each gear gear is supported on the journal of the intermediate transmission shaft 20 through a needle bearing. Each gear on the transmission shaft 2 is respectively meshed with each corresponding gear gear on the intermediate transmission shaft 18. The first and second gear synchronizer assembly 21 and the third gear synchronizer 29 are fixedly connected to the intermediate transmission shaft 20 by an involute spline.

[0022] The idler shaft assembly 17 is located between the input shaft 3 and the intermediate transmission shaft 18. Two gears are formed on the idler shaft assembly 17. The idler shaft assembly 17 is meshed with the gears on the input shaft 3 and the intermediate transmission shaft 18 at the same time. Both ends are supported on the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 through ball bearings. The idler shaft assembly 17 is used to change the rotation direction of the passive gear to realize the reverse function of the gearbox.

[0023] The gearbox assembly includes a front housing 10 and a rear housing 11, which are connected together. The bearing cover 2 is installed outside the bearing of the input shaft 3. An oil seal is installed in the bearing cover 2. The stopper of the clutch housing assembly 1 is positioned by centering with the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing cover 2. The clutch housing assembly 1 is fastened to the front housing 10 of the gearbox. The input shaft 3 is located at the upper end of the gearbox. The front end of the input shaft 3 is supported in the bearing hole of the engine crankshaft. The rear end of the input shaft 3 is supported in the bearing holes of the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 of the gearbox through a cylindrical roller bearing. The spline at the front end is inserted into the clutch driven disc hub, and the power of the engine is input into the gearbox through the control of the clutch.

[0024] The output shaft assembly 26 is located below the intermediate transmission second shaft 20. Both ends of the output shaft assembly 26 are supported on the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 through tapered roller bearings. A rear flange 23 is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the output shaft assembly 26 through a spline. A parking brake 24 is bolted to the rear flange 23 for parking brake. A front flange 27 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the output shaft assembly 26 through a spline. The front flange 27 is connected to the transmission shaft of the roller through bolts to output power.

[0025] The lubrication system of the gearbox is composed of a gear oil pump 16, a lubrication spray oil pipe 9 and a filter assembly 25. The gear oil pump 16 is installed on the rear housing 11. The gear oil pump 16 and the input shaft 3 are located on the same axis. The gear oil pump 16 is connected to the input shaft 3 through a key. When the input shaft 3 rotates, the gear oil pump 16 is driven to work. The gear oil pump 16 is connected to the filter assembly 25 located at the bottom of the gearbox through an oil pipe, and the filtered lubricating oil is pumped into the lubricating spray oil pipe 9, and then the lubricating oil is sprayed to the bearings, gears and other parts that need lubrication through the oil nozzle on the lubricating spray oil pipe 9.

[0026] The speed change mechanism assembly 30 is installed on the side of the front housing 10 of the gearbox, parallel to the intermediate transmission second shaft 20. The driver can shift into the desired gear and select the gear by operating the speed change mechanism assembly 30 through the shift lever to change the driving speed of the roller to meet the needs of different road conditions and driving conditions.

[0027] The pneumatic reversing assembly 14 is installed on the upper part of the rear housing 11 of the gearbox, located above the input shaft 3 and parallel to it. The pneumatic reversing assembly 14 is provided with a reverse air source connector 12 and a forward air source connector 15, which are respectively connected to the vehicle-mounted air tank and controlled by the pneumatic control system. The pneumatic reversing assembly 14 is equipped with a cylinder piston 13, which is fixedly connected to the reversing fork shaft 8 through a locking nut. The reversing fork shaft 8 is equipped with a reversing fork 7, which is fixed by a wave elastic pin.

[0028] Working process of the utility model: when the roller is started, the engine and the clutch assembly transmit power to the input shaft 3 through the spline, and the input shaft 3 starts to rotate, driving the gear oil pump 16 to work and lubricate the bearings, gears and other parts in the gearbox. At this time, since the three sets of synchronizers are in neutral, all gears are in a static state, and only the input shaft 3 rotates. The driver operates the speed lever to select and shift gears according to the selected driving speed range and puts it in the required gear. At this time, the gears of the intermediate transmission shaft 18 and the intermediate transmission shaft 20 are connected and meshed. At this time, since the reversing synchronizer assembly 5 is still in the neutral position, all gears are still in a static state. After the driver confirms the driving direction, he releases the parking brake 24, steps on the clutch pedal, interrupts the power transmitted to the input shaft 3 by the engine, pushes down the forward switch, and the pneumatic control system is turned on. Open the forward air source channel, the compressed air in the air tank enters the right chamber of the pneumatic reversing assembly 14, pushes the cylinder piston 13 to move leftward, the cylinder piston 13 drives the reversing fork 7 to move leftward through the reversing fork shaft 8, pushes the synchronizer gear sleeve to engage in the forward gear, releases the clutch, and the power is transmitted to the forward driving gear 4 through the input shaft 3, and the roller drives forward to start compaction. When the roller drives to the end of the construction section, the driver steps on the clutch to interrupt the power transmitted to the gearbox by the engine, and presses the reverse switch at the same time. The press is reversed according to the above principle, engaged in the reverse gear, and the roller drives backward to start compaction. The pneumatic control system only allows one airway to be in a high-pressure working state, and the other airway is in a pressure-relief state. When the gearbox power output is not required, the pneumatic control system can make both independent airways in a pressure-relief state. At this time, the cylinder piston 13 returns to the middle position, that is, the neutral position of the gearbox, under the action of the springs at both ends.

[0029] According to the operating characteristics of the roller, in the construction section with the same driving speed, this gearbox only needs to operate the forward and reverse switches to complete the roller's forward and backward reciprocating operating characteristics.
