Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tractors, and in particular relates to a pedal-type hydraulic steering column which can be adjusted in multiple directions at the same time. Background Art
[0002] The hydraulic steering column of the tractor is an important component of the hydraulic steering system. It connects the steering wheel and the hydraulic steering gear, and is responsible for converting the driver's steering operation into hydraulic power, thereby driving the steering wheel to achieve steering. The hydraulic steering column is usually composed of a steering column, a steering wheel, a steering shaft, a universal joint and other components. Among them, the steering column is the main component that supports and fixes the steering shaft. It connects the cab and the chassis to ensure the stability and reliability of the steering system. The steering wheel is the main component for the driver to operate the steering, and the steering control of the vehicle is achieved by rotating the steering wheel.
[0003] In the existing design of tractor hydraulic steering columns, a significant shortcoming lies in the limitations of its adjustment mechanism. When the driver needs to adjust the steering column position to suit personal preferences or driving environment, he often faces a process that is not convenient enough. Specifically, the current system requires the driver to make forward and backward and up and down adjustments in steps. This segmented adjustment method not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also significantly reduces the smoothness and efficiency of the adjustment. Each adjustment requires repositioning and adjustment, making the entire process cumbersome and time-consuming, and unable to meet the high standards of modern drivers for instant response and efficient operation. In addition, this multi-step adjustment mechanism also invisibly weakens the driver's comfort experience during driving. In the pursuit of efficient operation and long-distance driving, frequent and complex adjustment steps will undoubtedly increase the driver's burden and affect his sense of control over the vehicle.

[0034] It can be seen from Figure 1 and Figure 2 that a fixing frame 6 is installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the moving shell 4, and upper and lower adjusting grooves 41 are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the moving shell 4;
[0035] On the upper parts of both sides of the outer wall of the adjusting shell 5, front-back adjusting grooves 51 are opened. Screws 52 are installed in both of the two front-back adjusting grooves 51. An extrusion spring 53 is installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the adjusting shell 5. The other end of the extrusion spring 53 is installed with a fixing frame 54, and the outer wall of the fixing frame 54 is installed together with the two screws 52. A screw nut 55 is arranged inside the fixing frame 54.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, when the driver needs to adjust the position of the hydraulic steering column to suit personal preferences or the driving environment, the driver can step on the pedal 10 on the pedal lever 8 to cancel the locking of the screw nut 55 on the screw 52 and loosen the front-back adjustment slots 51 and the up-down adjustment slots 41 on both sides. At this time, by pulling the steering column 3 forward, the moving housing 4 is driven to move forward, so that the screw 52 slides in the front-back adjustment slot 51, and the hydraulic steering column can be adjusted back and forth. Then, by pulling the steering column 3 upward, the moving housing 4 is driven to move upward, so that the screw 52 slides in the up-down adjustment slot 41, and the hydraulic steering column can be adjusted up and down. Thus, the front-back and up-down adjustment functions of the entire hydraulic steering column can be realized simultaneously, making the entire adjustment process more convenient and fast, improving the smoothness and efficiency during adjustment, meeting the high standards of modern drivers for instant response and efficient operation. Moreover, this mechanism that can be adjusted in multiple directions simultaneously can improve the comfort experience of the driver during driving.
