DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make the advantages and features of the present invention more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby more clearly defining the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 As shown,

[0034] A clutch structure for an agricultural machinery gearbox, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a gearbox body 1, in which a transmission shaft 2 is rotatably connected through a bearing in the gearbox body 1, a transmission sleeve 3 is sleeved on the right end of the transmission shaft, and a first mounting hole 4 is opened at the center position of the transmission sleeve 3 on the side where the transmission sleeve 3 is located, and a second mounting hole 5 is opened radially on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 2. Specifically, the first mounting hole 4 and the second mounting hole 5 are communicated with each other; a pressure plate 6 is also provided on the gearbox body 1, and a clutch pin 7 matching the first mounting hole 4 is installed on the left side of the pressure plate 6, wherein the clutch pin 7 and the first mounting hole 4 are clearance-fitted; the diameter of the left side of the clutch pin 7 gradually decreases to form a clutch section 8, and the diameter of the left side of the clutch section 8 first decreases and then increases, which is convenient for the placement and limiting of the card bead 9, wherein the card bead 9 is specifically a steel ball; specifically, the card bead 9 is arranged in the second mounting hole 5, and when the clutch pin 7 moves to the left and right in the first mounting hole 4, the clutch section 8 pushes the card bead 9 to move up and down, thereby combining or separating the transmission sleeve 3 with the transmission shaft 2.

[0035] Compared with the existing technology, the traditional tooth-type or friction-type clutch is limited by its structure and requires at least two connecting shafts and a clutch structure, as well as sufficient friction structure and limit structure, making it difficult to truly miniaturize its structure.

[0036] The obvious difference of this scheme is that, when the clutch structure of this scheme is in clutch operation, the clutch pin 7 advances and retreats in the first mounting hole 4, pushing the card bead 9 out of the second mounting hole 5 and dropping it back. Since the clutch section 8 of the clutch pin 7 is conical, it will gradually push the card bead 9 out. The card bead 9 is pushed by the clutch pin 7 and eventually squeezed, so that the transmission sleeve 3 is connected to the drive shaft 2, and then the power obtained by the transmission sleeve 3 from other shafts is transmitted to the drive shaft 2, realizing the combined transmission of the clutch; and when the clutch pin 7 retreats to the right from the first mounting hole 4, the card bead 9 loses the extrusion support force and retreats into the second mounting hole 5, making the connection between the transmission sleeve 3 and the drive shaft 2 invalid, realizing the disengagement function of the clutch; wherein, there is a gap between the clutch pin 7 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 4, which makes the movement of the clutch pin more convenient.

[0037] During implementation, there are multiple second mounting holes 5, specifically 3 in this embodiment, distributed around the transmission shaft 2; the provision of multiple second mounting holes 5 can leave sufficient installation space for multiple card beads 9. During implementation, the force application points of the clutch pin 7, the transmission shaft 2 and the transmission sleeve 3 are increased, making the power transmission more stable.

[0039] In implementation, as Figure 2 The clutch pin 7 is installed in the pressure plate 6 through the clutch pin mounting bearing 11 arranged on one side of the transmission shaft 2. Through the arrangement of the clutch pin mounting bearing 11, not only the installation and fixation of the clutch pin 7 are facilitated, but also the synchronous rotation of the clutch pin 7 and the transmission shaft 2 is facilitated when the clutch is combined, and the wear between the clutch pin 7 and the clamping ball 9 is reduced.

In specific implementation, the actuating rod 13 has two, which are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the mounting cylinder 12, and the other end of the actuating rod 13 is pivotally connected to the end face of the right end of the pressure plate 6. Because there is a gap between the clutch pin 7 and the first mounting hole 4, the actuating rod 13 can drive the clutch pin 7 to advance and retreat in the first mounting hole 4 when the actuating rod 13 rotates, thereby realizing the clutch function of the clutch simply and conveniently. Moreover, the movement of the pressure plate 6 is more stable through the arrangement of the double actuating rods 13. In implementation, as Figure 1 In order to better drive the pressure plate 6, the rotating handle 15 is further arranged on the outside of the transmission case 1. Specifically, the connecting end of the rotating handle 15 is connected to one end of the mounting pin 14 by any of the following or other ways, i.e. threaded connection, clamping or welding. Through the arrangement of the rotating handle 15, the rotation of the mounting cylinder 12 is driven, and the rotation control of the pressure plate 6 and the actuating rod 13 is more simple and convenient. In implementation, as Figure 5 and Figure 6, the transmission shaft sleeve 3 comprises an integral forming mounting section 16 and a matching section 17, wherein the inner side of the mounting section 16 is rotationally connected to the transmission shaft 2, and the outer surface of the mounting section 16 is integrally formed with a transmission gear for power input or output; in order to improve the stability of transmission, the inner surface of the matching section 17 is provided with accommodating grooves 19, the accommodating grooves 19 can accommodate the clamping beads 9, in the embodiment, the number of the accommodating grooves 19 is the same as that of the clamping beads 9 and is uniformly three, the accommodating grooves 19 are preferably arc grooves, the accommodating grooves 19 are divided into two sides from the groove bottom, the right side is a smooth section 20 and the left side is a limiting section 21, the corresponding arc length of the smooth section 20 projected onto the mounting section 16 is greater than that of the limiting section 21, the smooth section 20 of the accommodating groove 19 is close to the limiting section 21 of the adjacent accommodating groove 19; the smooth section 20 and the limiting section 21 are distributed along the rotation direction of the transmission shaft sleeve 3; the accommodating grooves 19 on the inner side of the matching section 17 are provided, so that the clamping beads 9 have sufficient contact surface and limiting space, so that the slipping phenomenon of the clamping beads 9 is less when the clamping beads 9 are squeezed, and the transmission is more stable and reliable; wherein the accommodating grooves 19 are respectively the smooth section 20 and the limiting section 21, the smooth section 20 is provided, so that the clamping beads are more convenient to enter the accommodating grooves 19, and the limiting section 21 is provided to limit the clamping beads 9, so that the transmission is more convenient.

[0041] In specific implementation, such as Figure 7 The outer surface of the transmission shaft 2 is further provided with an annular groove 22, the annular groove 22 is arranged at a periphery of the second mounting hole 5; when the clamping beads 9 enter and exit the second mounting hole 5, the clamping beads 9 may collide with the edge of the second mounting hole 5 to form burrs or protrusions, and the burrs or protrusions caused thereby can be clamped between the transmission shaft 2 and the transmission shaft sleeve 3, and in severe cases, the transmission shaft 2 and the transmission shaft sleeve 3 can be adhered, thereby affecting the separation of the transmission shaft 2 and the transmission shaft sleeve 3.
