[0037] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive work.

[0038] See also Figure 1 As shown, a gearbox 100 includes a clutch, and the clutch includes a clutch lubrication system.

[0039] See also Figures 2 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a clutch lubrication system, including a transmission shaft 107, a first sleeve 102 sleeved on the transmission shaft 107, a clutch gear 101 sleeved on the first sleeve 102, a clutch hub gear 104 sleeved on the clutch gear 101, and a friction plate 103 disposed in the clutch hub gear 104 and sleeved on the clutch gear.

[0040] The clutch gear 101 includes a friction tooth portion 1011, an engaging tooth portion 1012, and an intermediate portion 1013 connected between the friction tooth portion and the engaging tooth portion. The first oil hole A1 is provided in the intermediate portion 1013 to allow lubricating oil to enter the clutch gear 101. The second oil hole A2 is provided in the friction tooth portion 1011. The second oil holes A2 include at least two, and the second oil holes A2 are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the clutch gear 101 to allow lubricating oil to flow to the friction plate 103. The third oil hole B1 is provided in the first shaft sleeve 102. The third oil holes B1 include at least two, and the third oil holes B1 are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the first shaft sleeve 102 to lubricate the mating position between the first shaft sleeve 102 and the transmission shaft 107.

[0041] Furthermore, the first oil hole A1 is formed in the middle portion 1013 to allow lubricating oil to enter the clutch gear 101 . The lubricating oil entering the clutch gear 101 flows to the second oil hole A2 on one side and flows to the third oil hole B1 on the other side.

[0042] The second oil holes A2 are formed in the friction tooth portion 1011 . The second oil holes A2 include at least two arranged side by side along the axial direction of the clutch gear 101 . When the clutch gear 101 rotates, the lubricating oil flows to the friction plate 103 under the action of centrifugal force.

[0043] The third oil hole B1 is used to lubricate the mating position between the first sleeve 102 and the transmission shaft 107. When the first sleeve 102 rotates with the clutch gear 101, the relative movement between the first sleeve 102 and the transmission shaft will increase wear and generate heat. The lubricating oil enters the position between the transmission shaft 107 and the clutch gear 101 through the third oil hole B1, which helps to lubricate and cool this position.

[0044] The clutch hub gear 104 includes a meshing portion 1041 and a connecting portion 1042 connected to the meshing portion 1041. The fourth oil hole D1 is penetrated by the connecting portion 1042. The fourth oil hole D1 includes at least two. The fourth oil holes D1 are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the clutch hub gear 104, and the fourth oil holes are arranged in a circular array with the center of the clutch hub gear as the center. The fourth oil holes are used to allow lubricating oil to flow out of the clutch hub gear.

[0045] This application helps to lubricate the clutch system well, reduce the friction and wear of parts, and also better cool the clutch system.

[0046] The connecting portion 1042 includes grooves 1042a disposed along its inner wall. There are at least two grooves 1042a arranged in a circular array centered about the central axis of the clutch hub gear 104. The fourth oil hole D1 extends through the grooves 1042a. This facilitates better penetration of lubricating oil into and out of the clutch hub gear 104, thereby enhancing lubrication.

[0047] The first oil groove C1 is disposed on the end surface of the friction plate 103 to lubricate the friction plate 103 and facilitate the flow of lubricating oil, thereby achieving a better lubrication effect.

[0048] The first oil groove C1 is a grid-like groove structure that is staggered horizontally and vertically, which helps the lubricating oil flow and thus achieves a better lubrication effect.

[0049] The connecting portion 1042 further includes a protruding portion 1043 disposed on an outer wall of the connecting portion 1042 and connected to the engaging portion 1041 . The protruding portion 1043 includes a protruding end surface 1043 a relatively away from the engaging portion 1041 .

[0050] The second oil holes A2 include four, which are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the clutch gear 101. The second oil holes A2 include four groups, which are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the clutch gear 101. This helps the lubricating oil flow and achieves a better lubrication effect.

[0051] See also Figure 8 As shown, the clutch lubrication system also includes a gasket 105 which is sleeved on the connecting portion 1042 and at least partially abuts against the raised end surface 1043a. The surface of the gasket 105 which at least partially abuts against the raised end surface 1043a is provided with a second oil groove E1. The second oil groove E1 is a grid-shaped groove structure. The lubricating oil enters the second oil groove E1 through the fourth oil hole D1 to achieve lubrication of this position. The lubrication effect can be improved by the grid-shaped groove.

[0052] See also Figure 9 As shown, the clutch lubrication system also includes a second sleeve 106 sleeved on the connecting portion. The inner surface of the second sleeve 106 is provided with a third oil groove F1, which is a grid-like groove structure. This facilitates better flow of lubricating oil. The second sleeve 106 contacts the housing 201. The provision of the second sleeve 106 prevents direct contact and friction between the clutch hub gear 104 and the housing 201. Lubricating oil enters the mating position between the second sleeve 106 and the clutch hub gear 104 through the fourth oil hole D1. When the clutch hub gear 104 rotates, friction and high temperature are generated. Therefore, the above solution can lubricate and cool the mating position between the second sleeve 106 and the clutch hub gear 104, facilitating the flow of lubricating oil and achieving a better lubrication effect.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a gearbox 100. The gearbox 100 includes a housing 201, an oil inlet 2011, and an oil inspection port 2012. Lubricating oil enters the gearbox through the oil inlet 2011 and approximately reaches the oil inspection port 2012 of the gearbox 100. The clutch system is at least partially immersed in the lubricating oil. This helps ensure that the lubricating oil enters the clutch system, providing better lubrication within the clutch system.

[0054] See also Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment provides an agricultural working machine, including a cab 30, a crawler 40, and the clutch lubrication system of the above solution.

[0055] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments described above 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 that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
