Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tractor steering, in particular to a steering component for a wheeled tractor. Background Art

[0002] A wheeled tractor is a type of tractor whose running gear is wheels. (Unlike crawler tractors) There are many types, such as two-wheel (walk-behind tractors) and four-wheel. They are further divided into rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. High-horsepower wheeled tractors have better traction performance and are suitable for large farms equipped with wide-width agricultural implements for high-speed operation. The tractor can move by relying on the power of the internal combustion engine through the transmission system, so that the drive wheels obtain driving torque Mk. The driving wheels, which obtain driving torque, then apply a small, backward horizontal force (tangential force) to the ground through the tire pattern and tire surface. The ground reacts with a horizontal reaction force Pk of equal magnitude and opposite direction to the driving force. This Pk reaction force is the driving force (also called feed propulsion) that propels the tractor forward.

[0003] A steering assembly is required for steering a wheeled tractor, and the steering assembly is mainly a universal joint. Currently, the universal joint is not provided with a protective mechanism during steering. During use, dust will enter the cross shaft, and the dust will affect the rotation of the universal joint, thereby affecting the steering work of the wheeled tractor and causing inconvenience to the use of the universal joint.
