TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a tracked tractor technical field, specifically is a pressure loss protection braking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The currently common tracked chassis is mainly composed of a hydraulic mechanical combined type walking system, is composed by a single HST speed changer and a mechanical gearbox, and transmits torque and brakes by a clutch and a friction plate. The tracked chassis is commonly used in small and medium-sized tracked tractors, harvesters and other agricultural machinery in China due to its simple and reliable structure, easy maintenance and low cost and other advantages.

[0003] In hilly and mountainous areas such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan, tracked tractors gradually begin to replace manual work and are matched with various small agricultural implements to plow, rotary till, ridge, cellar, pond, fertilize, film, transplant, water, plant protection, film, stalk, transport and other operations. The hilly and mountainous areas have rugged and uneven terrain, large slope and complex working environment, and users have higher safety requirements for tractors. When the tractor suddenly fails in hydraulic pressure or power during use and cannot operate normally, the tractor must be able to perform emergency braking in any operating scenario and have reliable braking performance to ensure the safety of the operating machinery and especially the driver.

[0004] Based on the above factors, it is necessary to provide a braking device with high safety performance and good reliability under normal operation or sudden conditions and a control method.

[0005] The prior art has disclosed some braking devices for tracked tractors, such as the utility model patent "Braking device and tractor" applied for by the State Intellectual Property Office on April 13, 2021, and authorized with the announcement number CN201911251591.9. The braking device of the patent comprises: a mounting disc for fixed connection with a half shaft tube outside a rotating shaft; a friction plate fixedly installed on the mounting disc; a friction dynamic plate matched with the friction plate to realize braking; a cover plate fixedly connected with the mounting disc and accommodating the friction plate and the friction dynamic plate therein; a through hole through which the rotating shaft for installing the braking device passes among the mounting disc, the friction plate, the friction dynamic plate and the cover plate, and is fixedly connected with the hub mounting disc outside; a first oil seal is arranged between the mounting disc and the rotating shaft; and a second oil seal is arranged between the cover plate and the rotating shaft. The patent also provides a tractor. The braking device and the tractor provided by the patent can form a closed environment in the braking device, play a role in preventing water, sand and dust, and improve the service life of the braking device. However, the braking device in the above patent cannot provide pressure loss protection braking.

[0006] The utility model patent "A valve group, tractor braking system and tractor" applied for by the State Intellectual Property Office on August 30, 2021, has the authorization announcement number CN202122059362.6. The valve group of this patent includes a logic valve and a switching valve; the logic valve has a first valve core, a first oil outlet, and two first oil inlets. When oil is fed into a single first oil inlet, the first valve core moves to close the passage between the first oil inlet and the first oil outlet and to open the passage between the other first oil inlet and the first oil outlet, or when oil is fed into both first oil inlets, the first valve core moves to connect both first oil inlets with the first oil outlet; the switching valve has a second valve core, a second oil outlet, and two second oil inlets. When oil is fed into a single second oil inlet, the second valve core moves to open the passage between the second oil inlet and the second oil outlet and to block the passage between the other second oil inlet and the second oil outlet, or when oil is fed into both second oil inlets, the second valve core moves to connect both second oil inlets with the second oil outlet. Its structure is simple. However, this patent mainly designs the control mechanism of the brake device and does not involve the structure of the pressure loss protection brake device.

[0007] The State Intellectual Property Office filed a utility model patent application on February 5, 2015, titled "A Braking Device and a Method for Operating a Braking Device for an Automatic Parking Brake," with authorization publication number CN201510060146.X.
