[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings, and other embodiments can also be obtained.

[0027] See Figure 1 , a half - shaft sealing structure of a transmission case is provided in the related art, including a half - shaft 2, a sleeve 1, an oil - seal end cover 3, and a first oil - seal 4'. The first oil - seal 4' is one of a combined oil - seal, a cartridge oil - seal, or a common oil - seal. No matter what kind of sealing method it is, its principle is to adopt a labyrinth type. This structure cannot prevent mud and water from entering. After mud and water enter, they will break through layer by layer. Its service life depends on the quality of the oil - seal. Once the internal bearing 22 is damaged by mud and water, it may cause the overall scrapping of the gearbox, resulting in an increase in the after - sales and maintenance costs of agricultural machinery.

[0028] To solve the problems in the related art, the present embodiment provides a half - shaft sealing structure of a transmission case, which is mainly applied to agricultural machinery such as tractors and harvesters. Refer to the attached Figures 2 to 4 , the half - shaft 2 sealing structure includes a half - shaft 2, a sleeve 1, an oil - seal end cover 3, a first oil - seal 4, a second oil - seal 5, and an oil - filling joint 6.

[0029] One end of the half - shaft 2 is connected to the transmission shaft inside the transmission case, and the other end of the half - shaft 2 is connected with a driving wheel 7 through a spline, capable of transmitting the power in the transmission case to the outside of the transmission case. One end of the sleeve 1 is connected to the housing of the transmission case and is sleeved outside the half - shaft 2. The oil - seal end cover 3 is arranged at the end of the sleeve 1 away from the transmission case, and a receiving space is formed between the oil - seal end cover 3 and the half - shaft 2.

[0030] The first oil - seal 4 is arranged at one end of the receiving space away from the sleeve 1. The second oil - seal 5 is arranged at one end of the receiving space close to the sleeve 1, and a predetermined gap is left between the first oil - seal 4 and the second oil - seal 5. The oil - filling joint 6 is arranged on the oil - seal end cover 3 and is communicated with the predetermined gap formed between the first oil - seal 4 and the second oil - seal 5.

[0031] The oil filling joint 6 further includes an oil filling cup 61. The oil filling cup 61 is connected to the oil filling joint 6 and partially placed inside the oil filling joint 6. During use, the user fills the predetermined gap by filling grease between the first oil seal 4 and the second oil seal 5 through the oil filling cup 61 to form an internal pressure, effectively preventing the entry of muddy water and preventing the muddy water from entering the transmission case along the gap between the half shaft 2 and the casing 1, ensuring the sealing reliability.

[0032] Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , a sealing sleeve 23 is sleeved on the end of the half shaft 2, and a sealing ring 231 is arranged between the sealing sleeve 23 and the end of the half shaft 2. A first mounting portion 12 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the casing 1, and a second mounting portion 31 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the oil seal end cover 3. The casing 1 and the oil seal end cover 3 are connected by bolts between the first mounting portion 12 and the second mounting portion 31.

[0033] A first annular notch 11 is arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the casing 1, a second annular notch 21 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the half shaft 2, and a bearing 22 is arranged between the casing 1 and the half shaft 2. One side of the bearing 22 abuts against the first annular notch 11 and the second annular notch 21, and the other side of the bearing 22 abuts against the side wall of the sealing sleeve 23 to realize the rotational installation between the casing 1 and the half shaft 2.

[0034] Refer to the appendix Figure 4 , the first oil seal 4 includes a first skeleton 41, a first rubber body 42 wrapped around the first skeleton 41, and a first elastic member 43 sleeved on the circumference of the first rubber body 42. The first rubber body 42 forms a first lip 421 and a second lip 422, and the first lip 421 and the second lip 422 abut against the outer ring of the sealing sleeve 23.

[0035] The second oil seal 5 is a cartridge oil seal, with a compact structure design, small size, convenient for installation, and can also achieve a better sealing effect. Refer to the appendix Figure 4, the second oil seal 5 includes a second skeleton 51 and a third skeleton 54 with a symmetric cross-section distribution. The outer ring of the second skeleton 51 abuts against the inner wall of the casing 1. A second rubber body 52 is arranged in the inner ring of the second skeleton 51. The second rubber body 52 extends along the side surface of the second skeleton 51 to the inner ring of the second skeleton 51, and a second elastic member 53 is arranged in the circumferential direction of the second rubber body 52. The inner ring of the second rubber body 52 forms a third lip 521 and a fourth lip 522, and the third lip 521 and the fourth lip 522 abut against the outer ring of the third skeleton 54. A third rubber body 55 is arranged in the inner ring of the third skeleton 54. The inner ring of the third rubber body 55 abuts against the half shaft 2 and extends along the side surface of the third skeleton 54 to the outer ring of the third skeleton 54. The second rubber body 52 forms a fifth lip 551 and a sixth lip 552, and the fifth lip 551 and the sixth lip 552 abut against the inner ring of the second skeleton 51. In this embodiment, for the "inner ring" involved in the annular structure, it is the side close to the seal sleeve 23 with the body as the boundary, and the "outer ring" refers to the side close to the casing 1 with the body as the boundary.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the above exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of the present invention falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalent technical solutions.
