Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery and equipment, in particular to a mechanical HST operating arm return mechanism and a tractor with the same. Background Art

[0002] Among the existing HST tractors, the control methods of HST are divided into electronic control and mechanical control. The vast majority of models are electronically controlled, relying on the processing of electrical signals to realize the forward and backward movement of the tractor. However, in order to save costs, some small tractors use mechanically controlled HST. After long-term use of this control method, there is a certain angle error between the flow control control shaft of the HST and the factory setting of 0. Due to the different rotation directions of the shaft and the different vehicle travel directions, the error will cause inaccurate vehicle travel speed. In severe cases, it will cause the vehicle to travel in a different way from the actual one, posing a huge safety hazard.

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to develop a mechanical HST manipulator arm return mechanism that can automatically return to the center position after the HST manipulator arm (joystick automatically) rotates an angle, thereby overcoming the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should be particularly noted that the size (diameter) of the return ball 32 in this embodiment is close to the inner diameter of the guide sleeve 31, and the gap between the two is very small, ensuring that the return ball 32 will hardly jump when moving along the long axis direction, and ensuring that the return ball 32 can be directly embedded in the V-shaped tip (that is, the center) of the limit bayonet 22 under the extrusion of the elastic extrusion piece 33 after the foot pedal is released, so that the operating arm 21 and the HST flow control shaft 4 rotate back to the middle position (in this embodiment, when the return ball 32 is embedded in the center of the limit bayonet 22, the HST flow control shaft 4 is in the middle position).

[0028] In this embodiment, the V-shaped tip of the limit stopper 22 is designed to be an arc shape that matches the outer shape of the return ball 32, so that the return ball 32 can be effectively embedded in the V-shaped tip of the limit stopper 22 and maintain a close fit between the two (in this state, the maximum diameter line of the return ball 32, that is, the equator line, is in contact with and squeezed with the V-shaped tip of the limit stopper 22).

[0031] The elastic force adjustment component 34 includes a blocking block 341, an adjusting bolt 342 and an adjusting block 343. The blocking block 341 is fixed in the open end of the guide sleeve 31. A screw hole is provided in the blocking block 341 along the long axis of the guide sleeve 31. The screw of the adjusting bolt 342 passes through the screw hole and extends into the other end of the guide sleeve 31. The adjusting bolt 342 is screwed into the screw hole. The adjusting block 343 is installed on the screw end of the adjusting bolt 342. The two ends of the spring 331 are respectively connected to the limit plate 332 and the adjusting block 343.

[0032] The elastic force adjustment assembly 34 further includes a locking nut 344 , which is screwed onto a portion of the adjustment bolt 342 exposed from the guide sleeve 31 .

[0033] The fixed carrier 1 comprises a fixing plate 11 and a mounting plate 12 . The mounting plate 12 is vertically connected to one end of the fixing plate 11 . One end of the guide sleeve 31 vertically penetrates the mounting plate 12 , and the guide sleeves 31 are connected and fixed to each other.

[0034] A rib plate 13 perpendicular to the two is provided at one side of the connection between one end of the fixing plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 , and one end of the guide sleeve 31 is fitted and fixed on the rib plate 13 .
