Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a wear-resistant steering mechanism of a walking tractor. Background Art

[0002] The walking tractor realizes the steering function by controlling the steering mechanism of the gearbox. The left and right steering forks of the original steering mechanism are an integrated structure. The fork head and the side of the steering gear annular groove of the steering gear are always in a line contact state during relative movement, which is easy to wear, resulting in unclear separation of the steering gear and the middle clamp transmission gear, steering failure and other faults.

[0003] Therefore, a wear-resistant walking tractor steering mechanism is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The content of this application is used to briefly introduce concepts that will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. The content of this application is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the technical solution for which protection is sought, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution for which protection is sought.

[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background technology section above, some embodiments of the present application provide a wear-resistant walking tractor steering mechanism, comprising: a steering shaft; a central transmission gear coaxially mounted on the steering shaft for transmitting power; central transmission gear teeth fixedly disposed on both sides of the central transmission gear; two sets of steering gears for connecting or disconnecting with the central transmission gear; steering gear teeth fixedly disposed on the steering gear, adjacent to one side of the central transmission gear, for engaging with the central transmission gear teeth to transmit power; a steering gear annular groove provided on the steering gear; two left and right sets of steering fork assemblies, each for driving the two sets of steering gears to move, thereby achieving engagement and disconnection of the steering gear teeth with the central transmission gear teeth; a steering shift block rotatably disposed on the steering fork assembly and slidably engaged with the steering gear annular groove, the steering shift block having an abutment surface that abuts against and is parallel to the side walls of the steering gear annular groove; a left steering arm for driving the left steering fork assembly; and a right steering arm for driving the right steering fork assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the left and right steering fork assemblies are respectively fixed on the left steering arm and the right steering arm. The steering fork assembly includes: a mounting column portion for fixing to the left steering arm or the right steering arm and a fork-shaped portion. The fork-shaped portion has two protruding heads and a gap between the two protruding heads. The steering shift block is rotatably connected to the protruding heads.

[0007] Furthermore, the steering shift block includes: a rotating part rotatably arranged on the protruding head and a strip part embedded in the annular groove of the steering gear, a carbide block is fixedly arranged on the strip part, and the carbide block has an abutting surface that abuts the side wall of the steering gear annular groove and is parallel to the side wall of the steering gear annular groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on a side of the strip portion away from the central transmission gear, the cemented carbide is embedded in the mounting groove, and the abutting surface is provided on a side of the cemented carbide block away from the central transmission gear.

[0009] When the steering gear is disconnected from the central transmission gear, the bar's rotation offsets the inertia of the impact between the carbide wear surface and the side of the annular groove in the steering gear. This maintains the contact surface parallel and in continuous contact with the side of the annular groove, completely separating the steering gear from the central transmission gear and improving the bar's wear resistance. Because the steering spring pressure returns the gear to its original position and meshes with the central transmission gear during the return stroke, no carbide block is required on the side closest to the central transmission gear, saving manufacturing costs.

[0010] Furthermore, the central transmission gear tooth has a tooth groove, and the steering gear tooth is embedded in the tooth groove and meshes with the central transmission gear tooth.

[0011] Furthermore, bearing caps are provided at both ends of the steering shaft, and a support bearing is provided between the bearing cap and the steering shaft; wherein the steering shaft passes through the gap of the fork-shaped portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the steering gear is slidably arranged on the steering shaft, and the two steering gears are respectively located on both sides of the central transmission gear.

[0013] Furthermore, a shaft shoulder for mounting a support bearing is provided on the steering shaft, and a washer located on the side of the support bearing close to the steering gear is connected in series to the shaft shoulder, and the support bearing is limited by the washer and the bearing cover.

[0014] Furthermore, a right steering spring is placed between the steering gear and the washer on the right side of the central transmission gear; a left steering spring is placed between the steering gear and the washer on the left side of the central transmission gear. The right steering spring and the left steering spring are sleeved on the steering shaft, the right steering spring is arranged between the steering gear and the washer on the right side, and the left steering spring is arranged between the steering gear and the washer on the left side.

[0015] When turning left, the left steering arm is forced to rotate the left steering fork assembly, and the steering shift block shifts the steering gear axially, disconnecting it from the central drive gear. At this time, the left steering spring is compressed, and the resulting pressure can push the steering gear and the central drive gear to mesh again without external force, causing the steering fork assembly and steering arm to automatically return to their original position, completing the turn. The same principle applies when turning right.

[0016] Furthermore, a retaining ring groove is provided on the steering shaft on one side of the central transmission gear, and the other side is limited by a shaft shoulder. A retaining ring is installed on the retaining ring groove, and the retaining ring and the shaft shoulder limit the central transmission gear.

[0017] The beneficial effect of the present application is that a wear-resistant walking tractor steering mechanism is provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 A wear-resistant steering mechanism for a walking tractor includes a central transmission gear 100, a central transmission gear tooth 101, a steering gear 102, a steering gear tooth 103, a steering fork assembly 104, a steering gear annular groove 105, a steering shift block 106, a rotating pull rod, a steering shaft 107, and a bearing cap 108. The central transmission gear 100 is sleeved on the steering shaft 107, and the inner diameter of the central transmission gear 100 is the same as the diameter of the steering shaft 107.

[0033] In one embodiment, the central transmission gear 100 is fixedly engaged with the steering shaft 107. The steering shaft 107 is provided with a retaining ring groove on one side of the central transmission gear 100 and a shaft shoulder on the other side of the central transmission gear 100. A retaining ring is installed on the retaining ring groove, and the retaining ring and the shaft shoulder limit the central transmission gear 100.

[0034] Central transmission gear teeth 101 are fixed at both ends of the central transmission gear 100 and rotate coaxially with the central transmission gear 100. Two steering gears 102 are provided. These two steering gears 102 are slidably mounted on a steering shaft 107 and are located on either side of the central transmission gear 100. The inner diameter of the steering gear 102 is the same as that of the steering shaft 107. A steering gear tooth 103 is fixed to the side of the steering gear 102 closest to the central transmission gear 100.

[0035] The steering gear 102 slides on the sliding steering shaft 107 so that the steering gear tooth 103 has two states; in the first state, the steering gear tooth 103 is engaged with the central transmission gear tooth 101, so that the power of the central transmission gear 100 is transmitted to the steering gear 102; in the second state, the steering gear tooth 103 is disengaged from the central transmission gear tooth 101, and the power of the central transmission gear 100 cannot be transmitted to the steering gear 102.

[0036] The steering fork assembly 104 is mounted on the steering gear 102 and includes a mounting post 113 and a fork portion 114. The mounting post 113 is fixedly connected to a rotating tie rod, and turning the rotating tie rod drives the steering fork assembly 104 to rotate. The steering arm includes a right steering arm 109 and a left steering arm 110. The mounting posts 113 of the two steering fork assemblies 104 are fixedly connected to the right steering arm 109 and the left steering arm 110, respectively.

[0037] The fork portion 114 has two protrusions 115 and a notch 116 between the two protrusions 115. The steering shift block 106 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 115. A steering gear annular groove 105 is defined on the annular side surface of the steering gear 102, and the steering shift block 106 is inserted into the steering gear annular groove 105. The steering fork assembly 104 rotates to drive the steering gear 102 to slide on the steering shaft 107, thereby controlling the steering gear tooth 103 between the first and second positions.

[0038] In one embodiment, the steering shaft 107 passes through the notch 116 so that the two protruding heads 115 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the steering gear 102 .

[0039] In one embodiment, the steering shift block 106 includes a rotating portion 117 rotatably mounted on a raised head 115 and a bar portion 118 embedded in the steering gear annular groove 105. A carbide block is fixedly mounted on the bar portion 118. The carbide block has an abutting surface that abuts and is parallel to the sidewall of the steering gear annular groove 105. This surface contact with the sidewall of the steering gear annular groove 105 ensures precise fit, even force distribution, and minimizes wear.

[0040] In one embodiment, a portion of the strip portion 118 is embedded in the steering gear annular groove 105. At the same time, both ends have portions extending out of the steering gear annular groove 105 to prevent the strip portion 118 from sliding out.

[0041] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 119 is defined on a side of the bar portion 118 away from the central transmission gear 100 , the cemented carbide is embedded in the mounting groove 119 , and the abutting surface is located on the side of the cemented carbide block away from the central transmission gear 100 .

[0042] In one embodiment, the central transmission gear tooth embedment 101 has a tooth groove, and the steering gear tooth embedment 103 is embedded in the tooth groove and meshes with the central transmission gear tooth embedment 101. The projected area of ​​the steering gear tooth embedment 103 on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the central transmission gear 100 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the tooth groove on the central transmission gear tooth embedment 101.

[0043] The bearing caps 108 are provided at both ends of the steering shaft 107 . The bearing caps 108 are provided with support bearings 120 sleeved on the steering shaft 107 . The steering shaft 107 is provided with shaft shoulders for mounting the support bearings 120 .

[0044] In one embodiment, a washer 121 is serially connected to the shoulder of the shaft, located on the side of the support bearing 120 near the steering gear 102. The washer 121 and the bearing cap 108 constrain the support bearing 120. A right steering spring 122 is disposed between the right steering gear 102 and the washer 121. The right steering spring 122 is sleeved on the steering shaft 107 and positioned between the steering gear 102 and the washer 121. A left steering spring 124 is disposed between the left steering gear 102 and the washer 121. When the steering gear tooth 103 on the right steering gear 102 is in the second state, the right steering spring 122 is compressed. When the steering gear tooth 103 on the left steering gear 102 is in the second state, the left steering spring 124 is compressed. Working process: When steering is required, the right steering arm 109 is rotated, causing the right steering fork assembly 104 to rotate, driving the right steering gear 102 to rotate. This causes the right steering gear tooth 103 to enter the second state, unable to transmit power. The power from the central transmission gear 100 continues to be transmitted to the left steering gear tooth 103, causing steering. The same process occurs when turning left.

[0045] The above description is only an illustration of some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned inventive concept. For example, the above-mentioned features are replaced with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
