[0002] At present, most vehicles in the domestic special vehicle market, such as green sprinklers, road sweepers, and road cleaning vehicles, have a demand for power take-off during driving. A clutch structure is added inside its structure. By controlling the separation and combination of the friction plate and the mating plate of the clutch, the power on and off between the power take-off and the transmission is realized, so that the transmission can also realize the shifting function when the power take-off is working. Since the piston rotates after contacting the friction plate during this working process, the O-ring on the piston will be in a state of "axial reciprocating + rotation". The O-ring will lose its sealing effect prematurely, resulting in air leakage and the inability to realize the operation of the power take-off. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following further elaborates on the specific content of the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments. Specific embodiments

[0029] All components in the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, are all components known in the prior art.

[0030] The following provides specific embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that the present utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent transformations made on the basis of the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] This embodiment provides a power take-off with a thrust bearing, as Figure 1 shown, including a housing 1. An output shaft 2 and an input shaft 3 are installed in parallel within the housing 1, and one end of the output shaft 2 extends out of the housing 1.

[0033] An input gear 4 is installed on the input shaft 3. The input gear 4 meshes with a transmission gear 5 sleeved on the output shaft 2. The transmission gear 5 can rotate along the outer circumference of the output shaft 2, and the input gear 4 extends out of the housing 1.

[0034] The transmission gear 5 is connected to a piston 7 through a clutch 6 sleeved on the output shaft 2.

[0035] The clutch 6 includes a transmission part 6-1 installed on one side of the transmission gear 5. The transmission part 6-1 is a hollow cylindrical shape with one end open, and a plurality of dual plates 6-2 are also installed on the inner side surface of the transmission part 6-1 facing the output shaft 2.

[0036] The clutch 6 further includes an output gear 6-3 installed on the output shaft 2. A plurality of friction plates 6-4 are installed along the outer circumference of the output gear 6-3. The friction plates 6-4 and the dual plates 6-2 are alternately distributed.

[0037] A thrust bearing 8 is also installed between the clutch 6 and the piston 7.

[0038] The inner side of the piston 7 is sleeved on the piston seat 9, the outer side of the piston 7 contacts the inner side of the housing 1, the piston seat 9 is connected to the housing 1, and O-ring seals 10 are provided on both the side where the piston 7 contacts the piston seat 9 and the side where the piston 7 contacts the housing 1.

[0039] An air chamber 11 is formed among the piston 7, the piston seat 9 and the housing 1.

[0040] The seat ring of the thrust bearing 8 is sleeved on the piston 7, a bearing seat 12 is installed outside the shaft ring of the thrust bearing 8, and the piston 7 can drive the bearing seat 12 to contact the friction plate 6-4.

[0041] A return spring 13 is further installed between the bearing seat 12 and the output gear 6-3.

[0042] The power take-off with a thrust bearing further includes a gas supply system, and the gas supply system is communicated with the air chamber 11 through an air passage arranged in the output shaft 2.

[0043] When the air chamber 11 intakes air, the piston 7 can drive the bearing seat 12 to contact the friction plate 6-4, and the friction plate 6-4 and the mating plate 6-2 are pressed against each other for transmission; when the air chamber 11 exhausts air, the friction plate 6-4 and the mating plate 6-2 rotate freely relative to each other.

[0044] The rotational power is transmitted from the input gear 4 to the transmission member 6-1 through the transmission gear 5. The transmission member 6-1 drives the mating plate 6-2 to rotate. At the same time, the gas supply system supplies gas to the air chamber 11, pushing the piston 7 to move axially. The piston 7 pushes the thrust bearing 8, and the thrust bearing 8 axially pushes the bearing seat 12. The bearing seat 12 axially pushes the friction plate 6-4 to slowly contact the mating plate 6-2. The power is transmitted from the mating plate 6-2 to the friction plate 6-4, and then the friction plate 6-4 is transmitted to the output shaft 2 through the output gear 6-3, realizing power output.

[0045] The seat ring on the left side of the thrust bearing 8 is installed on the piston 7 with interference fit. The rotation is interrupted at the thrust bearing 8, and the piston 7 is installed on the piston seat 9 and does not contact the output shaft 2. The rotational force will not be transmitted to the piston 7, and the O-ring seal 10 will only have reciprocating motion during operation and no longer have rotational motion. This can more effectively improve the overall disengagement performance of the power take-off and extend the service life of the power take-off.

[0046] As a preference of this embodiment:

[0047] The input shaft 3 and the input gear 4 are connected by a bearing, and the output shaft 2 and the housing 1 are connected by a bearing.

[0048] The bearing adopts a tapered roller bearing 16.

[0049] The input gear 4 described above is a double gear, which includes a power take-off gear 4-1 meshed with the power source and a transmission gear 4-2 meshed with the transmission gear 5.

[0050] One end of the housing 1 where the piston seat 9 is installed is also covered with a bearing end cover 14 to limit the position of the bearing. The other end of the housing 1 covered with the bearing end cover 14 is also covered with a front end cover 15, and the output shaft 2 extends out of the front end cover 15.

[0051] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] Before improvement: The power is transmitted from the input gear 4 to the counter piece 4 through the transmission gear 2. The transmission gear 5 transmits the power to the transmission member 6-1, and the transmission member 6-1 drives the counter piece 6-2 to rotate. At the same time, the air supply system supplies air to the air chamber 11, pushing the piston 7 to move axially. The piston 7 axially pushes the friction plate 6-4 to slowly contact the counter piece 6-2. The power is transmitted from the counter piece 6-2 to the friction plate 6-4, and the friction plate 6-4 is then transmitted to the output shaft 2 through the output gear 6-3 to achieve power output.

[0053] When the friction plate 6-4 contacts the counter piece 6-2 instantaneously in this structure, rotation will occur. The friction plate 6-4 drives the piston 7 to rotate. At this time, the piston 7 and the O-ring 10 thereon will be in a state of "axial reciprocation + rotation". The O-ring 10 will lose the sealing effect prematurely, resulting in air leakage and causing the power take-off to malfunction.

[0054] After improvement: The rotational power is transmitted from the input gear 4 to the transmission member 6-1 through the transmission gear 5. The transmission member 6-1 drives the counter piece 6-2 to rotate. At the same time, the air supply system supplies air to the air chamber 11, pushing the piston 7 to move axially. The piston 7 pushes the thrust bearing 8, and the thrust bearing 8 axially pushes the bearing seat 12. The bearing seat 12 axially pushes the friction plate 6-4 to slowly contact the counter piece 6-2. The power is transmitted from the counter piece 6-2 to the friction plate 6-4, and the friction plate 6-4 is then transmitted to the output shaft 2 through the output gear 6-3 to achieve power output.

[0055] When the friction plate 6-4 contacts the counter piece 6-2 instantaneously in this structure, rotation will occur. The friction plate 6-4 drives the bearing seat 12 to rotate. Due to the structural characteristics of the thrust bearing 8, the rotation on the right side of the thrust bearing 8 cannot be transmitted to its left side. The piston 7 and the O-ring 10 thereon are only in a state of "axial reciprocation". The sealing effect of the O-ring 10 is improved, and thus the normal working life of the power take-off is extended.

[0056] The above technical solutions are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model without creative efforts are covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
