For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings, and other embodiments can be obtained.
[0030] See Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a front axle for a tractor. With the forward direction of the tractor as the front, the front axle includes a central drive unit, two wheel side reducers 100 located at both ends of the central drive unit, and a steering unit for driving the left and right rotation of the wheel side reducers 100.
[0031] The central drive unit includes a differential assembly 200 drivingly connected to a gearbox, drive shafts 300 located at both ends of the differential assembly 200, and a central drive housing, which transmits the power of the differential assembly 200 to the wheel side reducer 100.
[0032] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , the vertical shaft housing 1 of the wheel side reducer 100 is connected to the central drive housing and is used for installing the vertical shaft 51. Specifically, the vertical shaft housing 1 includes a vertical shaft housing main body 11, a vertical shaft housing upper seat 12, a vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13, and a first bushing 14. The vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 is fixed above the vertical shaft housing main body 11. The vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13 is sleeved on the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12, and a first oil groove 131 with an annular structure is provided on the inner surface of the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13. The vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13 can rotate along the axis of the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12.
[0033] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , 3 , the first bushing 14 is located in the circumferential gap between the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 and the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13. Refer to the appendix Figure 4 , the first bushing 14 includes a first bushing body 141, a second oil groove 142 with a spiral shape provided on the inner surface of the first bushing body 141, and a through hole 143 provided on the circumference of the first bushing body 141 for connecting the first oil groove 131 and the second oil groove 142.
[0034] By arranging the first bushing 14 in the circumferential gap between the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 and the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13 and arranging the second oil groove 142 on the inner surface of the first bushing 14, lubricating oil can more easily enter between the first bushing 14 and the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 for lubrication to reduce sliding friction, extend the service life of the wheel side reducer, improve product quality, and reduce the cost of later maintenance.
[0035] The vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13 is provided with a first oil injection hole 132 communicating with the first oil groove 131, and a lubricating oil cup is configured on the first oil injection hole 132 for injecting lubricating grease. A first oil seal 17 is also provided on the connection surface between the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 and the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13, so that the circumferential gap between the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 and the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13 becomes a closed cavity to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil.
[0036] A tightening gasket 15 is arranged in the gap between the top of the vertical shaft housing upper seat 12 and the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13, and a limit bolt 16 is arranged on the vertical shaft housing upper end cover 13.

By cooperating the first sealing ring 213 and the second sealing ring 214 with the first sealing ring 211 and the second sealing ring 212, the combination of the main body 11 of the vertical shaft housing and the lower seat 18 of the vertical shaft housing is relatively tight, preventing muddy water from entering the wheel side speed reducer 100 and also preventing oil leakage of the wheel side speed reducer 100.
[0039] The terminal housing 2 is connected to a steering unit (not shown in the figure), driving the terminal housing 2 to rotate, so that the upper end cover 13 of the vertical shaft housing can rotate along the axis of the upper seat 12 of the vertical shaft housing, realizing the steering of the wheel side speed reducer 100.
[0040] A second bushing 22 is also arranged in the circumferential gap between the main body 11 of the vertical shaft housing and the lower seat 18 of the vertical shaft housing. The second bushing 22 includes a second bushing body and a third oil groove with a spiral shape arranged on the inner surface of the second bushing body. Due to the lubricating oil in the wheel side speed reducer 100, the second bushing 22 is partially immersed in the lubricating oil of the wheel side speed reducer 100 to reduce the sliding friction force and extend the service life of the wheel side speed reducer.
[0041] Refer to the appendix Figure 2, the wheel side speed reducer 100 further includes an end cover 3, a hub 4, a second sealing assembly 41 and a second oil injection hole 413.
