Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tractors, in particular to a waist-twisting and folding mechanism for a mountain articulated tractor. Background Art
[0002] China's hilly and mountainous areas are vast, mainly with undulating terrain and irregular slopes. When a tractor operates on a slope, due to the certain slope of the slope, during the operation, the body and the front / rear axles of the tractor will tilt along with the ground. When the tilt angle is relatively large, it is very easy to occur side slip, rollover, and the driver falls from the tractor. Therefore, a tractor operating on a hilly slope needs to be provided with a body leveling mechanism to ensure the safety of the tractor during slope operation.
[0003] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN117184261A discloses a tractor and its body leveling structure, wherein the body leveling structure includes: a front axle device, the front axle device is provided with a front axle input shaft, and the front axle input shaft is arranged along the front-rear direction of the tractor; a rear axle device, the rear axle device is provided with a rear axle input shaft, and the rear axle input shaft is also arranged along the front-rear direction of the tractor, wherein the front axle input shaft and the rear axle input shaft are coaxial; a body, the body is rotatably supported between the front axle device and the rear axle device, and the axis of the front axle input shaft serves as the rotation axis of the body; a body driving device for driving the body to rotate relative to the front axle device and the rear axle device and maintaining the horizontal attitude of the body after the body rotates to the horizontal attitude. This invention can achieve body leveling.
[0004] Based on the existing body leveling structure, how to design a folding and twisting mechanism that meets the body leveling function is a difficult problem faced by designers in this field. Among them, Chinese Patent CN116834545A discloses a folding and twisting device for a hilly and mountain tractor, which is arranged between the front box body and the rear box body of the tractor. The twisting shaft sleeve of the folding and twisting device is connected to the front box body and sleeved on the rear end of the input shaft. The folding and twisting bracket of the folding and twisting device is rotatably connected to the rear box body. The folding and twisting bracket and the twisting shaft sleeve are axially positioned relative to each other. The folding and twisting bracket can rotate relative to the twisting shaft sleeve, so that the front box body, the folding and twisting bracket and the twisting shaft sleeve can perform folding rotation relative to the rear box body, and the front box body and the twisting shaft sleeve can perform twisting rotation relative to the folding and twisting bracket and the rear box body, reducing the turning radius, improving the turning ability of the tractor, meeting the requirements of the front and rear wheels of the tractor for skewed driving on irregular roads, enabling the tractor to adapt to the complex terrain of hilly and mountainous areas, and improving the passability of the tractor on non-flat working roads. However, this twisting and folding device takes the axis parallel to the transmission shaft I of the gearbox as the twisting axis with the rotation center point of the transmission shaft I of the gearbox, and does not consider the body leveling requirement during slope operation, and it is difficult to match and apply to the body leveling structure with the transmission shaft II of the gearbox as the rotation center. At the same time, for tractors with the center point of the transmission shaft I and II of the existing drum-type articulated mechanism as the twisting center point, it is also difficult to adapt to the existing body leveling mechanism. Therefore, how to reasonably design the front axle swing mechanism of the mountain articulated tractor to achieve the overall functional design of folding, twisting and body leveling has become a technical problem urgently to be solved in this industry.

And a support bearing 12 is coaxially installed in the torsion waist rotating shaft sleeve 11. The transmission II shaft 4 is passed through the torsion waist rotating shaft sleeve 11 and installed on the support bearing 12, so that the torsion waist rotating shaft sleeve 11 serves as the main load-bearing member to bear the load at the connection part, effectively ensuring the stable operation of the transmission II shaft 4.
[0026] In order to improve the wear resistance of the torsion waist rotating shaft sleeve 11 and the connecting holes cooperating with it, wear-resistant bushings 13 are respectively provided between the hole walls of the connecting holes and the torsion waist rotating shaft sleeve 11.
[0027] At the rear end of the body 1001 of the waist-twisting rotating seat 10, two connecting ears 1003 are formed and arranged vertically one above the other.
