Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a gearbox for a micro-tillage machine. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, agricultural machines are important tools for realizing mechanized farming. Agricultural machines can greatly improve farming efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of farming. Moreover, micro-agricultural machines can be used for various purposes such as plowing, weeding, sowing, and harvesting by mounting different agricultural machinery accessories. The gearbox used in traditional micro-agricultural machines generally has multiple forward gears with different speeds, but only one low-speed gear in reverse. When used in some narrow terrains such as terraces and mountains, the micro-agricultural machine cannot turn around. Turning around also easily leaves blind spots, resulting in the inability to complete plowing, weeding, sowing, harvesting and other operations at one time. In addition, traditional micro-agricultural machines generally only have one way to install agricultural machinery accessories, either forward or rear. As a result, some rear-mounted micro-agricultural machines can only use low-speed reverse gear when mounting some agricultural machinery accessories that need to be pushed forward to work, which greatly affects the working efficiency of the micro-agricultural machine, and vice versa. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a new gearbox structure, so that the reverse gear and forward gear of the micro-farming machine have the same number of speed gears, and can also output power to the front or rear end of the gearbox for installing different agricultural machinery accessories.

[0014] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2A gearbox for a micro-tiller includes a housing 7, in which an input shaft 5, four transmission shafts and a wheel transmission shaft 6 are provided. The input shaft 5 is longitudinally installed in the housing 7, and the input shaft 5 is externally connected to a power output device such as a gasoline engine, a diesel engine or an electric motor. The four transmission shafts are transversely installed in the housing 7. A fixed gear 51 is provided on the input shaft 5 near the front end of the housing 7. The fixed gear 51 is connected to the fixed gear 71 on the front end of the housing. A bevel gear is installed on the fixed gear 71. The first gear shaft 1 is provided with a bevel gear that cooperates with the bevel gear. A fixed double gear 11 is provided on the first gear shaft 1, and a fixed double gear 12 is further provided below the double gear 11. The double gear 11 on the first gear shaft 1 and the double gear 12 below it are both composed of a large gear and a small gear. The small gear of the two double gears is the same. The gears are meshed with each other. After adopting the above structure, the two large gears of the double gear 11 and the double gear 12 rotate synchronously in the opposite direction during operation. A slidable front reverse gear 21 is provided on the second gear shaft 2. The front reverse gear 21 can be moved laterally on the second gear shaft 2 by operating the first shift lever 8. When the front reverse gear 21 on the second gear shaft 2 slides to mesh with the large gear of the fixed double gear 11 on the first gear shaft 1, it is the forward gear position. When the front reverse gear 21 on the second gear shaft 2 slides to mesh with the large gear of the double gear 12 below the first gear shaft, it is the reverse gear position. When the front reverse gear 21 on the second gear shaft 2 slides to the middle position between the large gears of the double gear 11 and the double gear 12, it is the neutral position. The second gear shaft 2 is also provided with a slidable double gear 22, which is composed of a large gear and a small gear. The third gear shaft 3 is provided with a first passive gear 32 and a second passive gear 33. By operating the second shift lever 9, the double gear 22 can be moved laterally on the second gear shaft 2 so that the large gear of the double gear 22 is engaged with the first passive gear 32 on the third gear shaft 3 or the small gear of the double gear 22 is engaged with the second passive gear 33 on the third gear shaft 3, so as to adjust the first speed ratio. A slidable double gear 31 is provided on the third gear shaft 3, and the double gear 31 is composed of a large gear and a small gear. A third driven gear 41 and a fourth driven gear 42 are provided on the fourth gear shaft 4. By operating the third shift lever 10, the double gear 31 can be moved laterally on the third gear shaft 3 so that the small gear of the double gear 31 is engaged with the third driven gear 41 on the fourth gear shaft 4, or the large gear of the double gear 31 is engaged with the fourth driven gear 42 on the fourth gear shaft 4, so as to adjust the speed ratio for the second time.A fixed gear 43 is also provided on the fourth gear shaft 4, which meshes with the fixed gear 61 on the wheel drive shaft 6. After adopting the above-mentioned gearbox structure, the second shift lever 9 can control two different gear speed ratios, and the third shift lever 10 also controls two different gear speed ratios. In this way, the wheel drive shaft 6 of the gearbox can have four different gear speed ratios, so that the micro-tiller has four selectable working gears, and the forward or reverse gear is determined by the position of the front and reverse gears 21 set on the second gear shaft 2, which will not affect the gear transmission sequence between the other gear adjustment gears. Therefore, the micro-tiller using the gearbox of the utility model has the same number of working gears for users to choose from in the forward gear or reverse gear, and can complete the required work faster when used on mountainous areas where it is inconvenient to turn around.

[0015] Furthermore, a fixed gear 72 meshing with the front fixed gear 71 is provided below the housing 7 of the gearbox of the present invention, and an output shaft 73 is provided below the fixed gear 71. The portion of the output shaft 73 inside the housing 7 is a spline shaft structure, and a slidable movable gear 74 is provided on the spline structure of the output shaft 73. The movable gear 74 can be controlled to engage or disengage with the fixed gear 72 by a paddle 75. When the movable gear 74 on the output shaft 73 is engaged with the fixed gear 72 on the housing 7, the output shaft 73 at the front end of the gearbox rotates to provide output power for the mounted agricultural machinery accessories connected to the front of the mini-farming machine. When the movable gear 74 on the output shaft 73 is separated from the fixed gear 72 on the housing 7, the output shaft 73 at the front end of the gearbox stops rotating. At the same time, a spline shaft structure is provided on the input shaft 5 near the rear end of the box body 7, a slidable movable gear 52 is provided on the spline structure of the input shaft 5, and a fixed gear 76 that can mesh with the above-mentioned movable gear 52 is provided at the rear end of the box body 7. The sliding gear 52 can be controlled to engage or separate with the fixed gear 76 by a paddle 53, and an output shaft 77 is provided below the above-mentioned fixed gear 76. One end of the output shaft 77 in the box body 7 is engaged with the fixed gear 76 through a fixed gear 78. When the movable gear 52 on the input shaft 5 is engaged with the fixed gear 76 on the box body 7, the output shaft 77 at the rear end of the gearbox rotates to provide output power for the mounted agricultural machinery accessories installed on the rear of the micro-agricultural machine. When the movable gear 52 on the input shaft 5 is separated from the fixed gear 76 on the box body 7, the output shaft 77 at the rear end of the gearbox stops rotating. After adopting the above structure, the front and rear ends of the gearbox for the micro-tillage machine described in the utility model are equipped with power output interfaces that can be switched independently, which are used to connect and install external mounting parts of various micro-tillage machines such as weeding heads, harvesters, and rice transplanters.
