Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technical personnel in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a reinforced tractor drive half shaft, comprising a reducer housing 1 and an oil seal 2 fixedly embedded in the reducer housing 1. Through the setting of the oil seal 2, the connection between the first shaft column 3 and the reducer housing 1 can be achieved, and the sealing of the reducer housing 1 can be maintained to avoid leakage of oil in the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1. The inner cavity of the oil seal 2 is rotatably plugged with the first shaft column 3. The front end of the first shaft column 3 extends to the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the third shaft column 8. The outer wall circumference of the third shaft column 8 is provided with a plurality of splines 9. Through the setting of the splines 9, the reduction gear in the reducer can be engaged with the splines 9, so that the third shaft column 8 drives the first shaft column 3, the second shaft column 4, the first flange 5, the second flange 6 and the wheel hub to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the tractor to travel.

[0029] A second shaft column 4 is provided at the rear end of the first shaft column 3, and a first flange 5 is provided at the rear end of the second shaft column 4. A reinforcement component is provided on the rear side of the first flange 5. Through the setting of the reinforcement component, the contact between the outer wall thread of the bolt and the internal thread on the wheel hub is made closer and the pressure is greater, thereby increasing the friction between the two threads, improving the fastening effect, and solving the problem that the flange in the prior art does not have a reinforcement structure, and the bolt will become loose due to vibration when passing through the through hole 20 on the flange and connected to the wheel hub.

[0030] A second flange 6 is provided at the rear end of the reinforcement component, and a protective component is provided on the outer wall of the first shaft column 3. By setting the protective component, the service life of the first shaft column 3 can be extended. The installation is convenient and quick, and there is no cumbersome mechanical mechanism. It solves the problem in the prior art that the sponge is fixed on the half-shaft through a mounting seat and a rotating assembly, which has a complex structure, increases the complexity of the process of the half-shaft during production, and prolongs the processing time of the half-shaft.

[0031] The inner cavity of the reducer housing 1 is provided with a heat dissipation component. Through the setting of the heat dissipation component, the heat dissipation effect is improved, and the spline 9 is prevented from having too high a temperature and shortening its service life due to friction generated during operation. This solves the problem in the prior art that the half-shaft does not have the heat dissipation function for the spline 9, and the spline 9 will generate a large amount of heat due to friction when running for a long time, affecting the service life of the spline 9.

[0032] In this embodiment, the protective component includes an adhesive layer 17, a sponge sleeve 18 and a rubber sleeve 19. The adhesive layer 17 is coated on the outer wall circumference of the first shaft column 3. The sponge sleeve 18 is adhered to the outside of the first shaft column 3 through the adhesive layer 17, which can prevent stones and the like from damaging the first shaft column 3, thereby extending the service life of the first shaft column 3. The installation is convenient and quick, without cumbersome mechanical mechanisms, and solves the problem in the prior art that the sponge is fixed to the half-shaft through a mounting seat and a rotating assembly, which has a complex structure, increases the complexity of the process of the half-shaft during production, and prolongs the processing time of the half-shaft.

[0033] The sponge sleeve 18 is sleeved on the outside of the adhesive layer 17. The sponge sleeve 18 can be protected by the setting of the rubber sleeve 19 to extend the service life of the sponge sleeve 18. The rubber sleeve 19 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the sponge sleeve 18 by glue.

[0034] In this embodiment, the reinforcement assembly includes a spring 14, a guide rod 15 and a limit plate 16. The spring 14 is arranged between the first flange 5 and the second flange 6. Through the arrangement of the spring 14, the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can squeeze the spring 14 when the wheel hub is installed on the half-shaft by bolts, thereby causing the spring 14 to produce corresponding elastic deformation, and then generate corresponding elastic force. Under the elastic force of the spring 14, there can be a mutual force between the first flange 5 and the second flange 6, thereby making the contact between the outer wall thread of the bolt and the internal thread on the wheel hub closer and the pressure greater, thereby increasing the friction between the two threads, improving the fastening effect, and solving the problem that the flange in the prior art does not have a reinforcement structure and the bolts will become loose due to vibration when passing through the through hole 20 on the flange and connected to the wheel hub.

[0035] The guide rod 15 is slidably inserted into the first flange 5 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second flange 6. The limit plate 16 is arranged at the end of the guide rod 15 away from the second flange 6. Through the setting of the guide rod 15, the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can be prevented from always maintaining the same central axis, and the through holes 20 on the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can be prevented from being misaligned, thereby improving the stability of the device during use. Through the setting of the limit plate 16, the guide rod 15 can be prevented from separating from the first flange 5, thereby improving the stability of the reinforcement assembly.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 are provided with through holes 20 equidistantly along the axial direction for the bolts to pass through.

[0037] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly includes a drive assembly and fan blades 13. The drive assembly is arranged in the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1 and fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first shaft column 3. Multiple fan blades 13 are arranged on the drive assembly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a driving gear 10, two rotating columns 11 and two driven gears 12. The driving gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first shaft column 3. The connection between the driving gear 10 and the first shaft column 3 is an interference fit, so that when the first shaft column 3 rotates, the driving gear 10 is driven to rotate. The two rotating columns 11 are rotatably connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1 through bearings. The outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the rear side of the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1 through fasteners. One end of the two rotating columns 11 is respectively interference fit on the inner rings of the two bearings. The two driven gears 12 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer walls of the two rotating columns 11. The outer walls of the rotating columns 11 are respectively fixedly connected to a plurality of fan blades 13. The fan blades 13 are connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 11 through fasteners. When the rotating column 11 rotates, the fan blades 13 are driven to rotate. The fan blades 13 are inclined at a certain angle, and when they rotate, vortices are generated to cause the oil to flow.

[0039] In this embodiment, the driving gear 10 is meshed with the two driven gears 12, so that when the driving gear 10 rotates, the two driven gears 12 are driven to rotate the rotating column 11 and the fan blades 13. The number of teeth of the driving gear 10 is 2-3 times that of the driven gear 12, which can make the rotation speed of the driven gear 12 greater than that of the driving gear 10, greatly improving the flow rate of the oil.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the reducer housing 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipating fins 7, which are copper sheets. The top ends of the heat dissipating fins 7 extend to the inner cavity of the reducer housing 1, and the bottom ends of the heat dissipating fins 7 extend to the outside of the reducer housing 1. Through the setting of the heat dissipating fins 7, heat exchange can be carried out simultaneously with the oil and air, which can accelerate the reduction of the oil temperature and further improve the heat dissipation effect. The heat dissipating fins 7 are copper sheets, and the heat exchange efficiency of the copper sheets is high, which can improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0041] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] During the driving of the tractor, since the reducer housing 1 remains stationary and the first shaft column 3 is in a rotating state, the first shaft column 3 drives the driving gear 10 to rotate. Since the driving gear 10 is engaged with the two driven gears 12, when the driving gear 10 rotates, the two driven gears 12 can respectively drive the two rotating columns 11 and the fan blades 13 to rotate, stirring the oil inside the reducer housing 1, thereby increasing the flow rate of the oil and accelerating the heat dissipation effect. Through the setting of the heat dissipation fins 7, heat exchange can be carried out with the oil and air at the same time, which can accelerate the reduction of the oil temperature, further improve the heat dissipation effect, and avoid the spline 9 from being too hot and shortening its service life due to friction generated during operation. This solves the problem in the prior art that the half shaft does not have the heat dissipation function for the spline 9, and the spline 9 will generate a lot of heat due to friction when running for a long time, affecting the service life of the spline 9.

[0043] The sponge sleeve 18 is adhered to the outside of the first shaft column 3 through the adhesive layer 17, which can prevent stones and the like from damaging the first shaft column 3, thereby extending the service life of the first shaft column 3. The installation is convenient and quick, and there is no cumbersome mechanical mechanism. It solves the problem in the prior art that the sponge is fixed to the half-shaft through a mounting seat and a rotating assembly, which has a complex structure, increases the complexity of the process during the production of the half-shaft, and extends the processing time of the half-shaft. By setting the rubber sleeve 19, the sponge sleeve 18 can be protected and the service life of the sponge sleeve 18 can be extended.

[0044] By setting the spring 14, the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can be squeezed by the spring 14 when the wheel hub is installed on the half-shaft by the bolt, thereby causing the spring 14 to produce corresponding elastic deformation and then generate corresponding elastic force. Under the elastic force of the spring 14, there can be a force in the opposite direction between the first flange 5 and the second flange 6, thereby making the contact between the outer wall thread of the bolt and the internal thread on the wheel hub closer and the pressure greater, thereby increasing the friction between the two threads, improving the fastening effect, and solving the problem that the flange in the prior art does not have a reinforcement structure and the bolt will become loose when it passes through the through hole 20 on the flange and is connected to the wheel hub due to vibration. By setting the guide rod 15, the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can be prevented from always being on the same central axis, and the through holes 20 on the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 can be prevented from being misaligned, thereby improving the stability of the device during use.
