Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gearbox for a corn harvesting cutter bar, belonging to the technical field of gearboxes. Background Art
[0002] The corn harvesting cutter bar is a corn harvesting machine, powered by a corn harvesting locomotive. The cutter bar cuts the corn straws into pieces and conveys the ears to the feeding device of the locomotive. At present, there are various types of gearboxes for corn harvesting cutter bars in China. In some transmission devices, the main shaft and the transmission shaft are two separate structures, which are connected by a chain, making the transmission system cumbersome and complex, resulting in increased difficulty in repairing the transmission device or replacing parts. In some other cases, the power is transmitted from the main shaft to the driven gear and then to the harvesting device, resulting in inefficient use of power. Moreover, neither of them has a protection function. When a blockage occurs during operation, it will cause problems such as broken parts and damaged boxes, resulting in the inability of the harvesting cutter bar to operate normally. Therefore, on the basis of ensuring the functions of the transmission device remain unchanged, designing a gearbox with strong practicability, convenient maintenance, high transmission efficiency and a protection function is an urgent problem to be solved.
