Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and more specifically, to a fixed-axis wheel type mechanical in-situ steering device. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural machinery is used in agricultural production, such as tracked harvesters. Tracked harvesters can harvest wheat. When the harvester is harvesting from one end of the field to the other, it needs to change direction to continue harvesting. However, turning space is limited, so the harvester will choose to turn around on the spot to change direction and continue to use it. In this way, the entire wheat field can be harvested.
[0003] When a harvester performs a turn-around maneuver, it first brakes one side's track wheel and then controls the other side's track wheel to move, thus turning the machine around. Although this operation can achieve the turn-around, in actual operation, one side's track will rub against each other in place, causing some wear and tear on the track. Furthermore, the track wheel needs to be tightly braked by the braking device to achieve the turn-around, which increases the wear and tear on the braking device and causes excessive wear and tear on components, affecting its use. Therefore, a fixed-axis wheel type mechanical turn-around device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] Example
[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixed-axis wheel type mechanical stationary steering device, including a first transmission shaft 1, a steering mechanism 5, and a second transmission shaft 2. A first gear disk 3 is stably installed on the first transmission shaft 1, and a second gear disk 4 is rotated on the outside of the second transmission shaft 2. The steering mechanism 5 includes a drive wheel 51, which is located on one side of the first gear disk 3 and meshes with a transmission gear 511. A cylinder 52 is installed inside the transmission gear 511, and a movable first gear 521 is arranged inside the cylinder 52. The first gear 521 meshes with the first gear disk 3. A circular shaft 53 is located on the other side of the first gear disk 3, and a control gear 531 is installed on the outside of the circular shaft 53. The control gear 531 meshes with a direction adjustment gear 532 to change the rotation direction of the second gear disk 4.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a conical tooth 6 is mounted on one side of the control gear 531, and the two are integrated. The direction adjustment gear 532 is also conical in shape, and the conical tooth 6 meshes with the direction adjustment gear 532 to change the rotation direction of the second gear disk 4. A connecting gear 7 is provided at the relative position of the control gear 531, and the connecting gear 7 meshes with the direction adjustment gear 532. In order to realize that the rotation direction of the second gear disk 4 is opposite to that of the first gear disk 3, the device provides a direction adjustment gear 532. The direction adjustment gear 532 is conical so that it can mesh with the conical tooth 6. At the same time, one end of the connecting gear 7 is also conical in shape. With this shape, the connecting gear 7 can mesh with the direction adjustment gear 532, so that the two gear disks can rotate in opposite directions. The gear meshing connection effectively replaces the belt drive, reduces wasted work, improves work efficiency, and is easy to use.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surfaces of the first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2 are respectively provided with spline grooves 8 for connecting external rolling wheels. The first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2 are symmetrically arranged. The device is provided with spline grooves 8 on the first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2 respectively. The spline grooves 8 are used to engage splines so that when installing rolling wheels, the rolling wheels can be stably connected by the restriction of the splines.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a splined shaft 9 is provided on the inner side of the drive wheel 51 and is snapped together with the drive wheel 51. One end of the splined shaft 9 is snapped with a gear set 10 for connecting to the drive device inside the mechanical equipment. In order to ensure stable use of the drive wheel 51, the drive wheel 51 is mounted on the splined shaft 9. In actual use, the splined shaft 9 can be rotatably mounted inside a dedicated direction control housing. The drive wheel 51 can be driven to rotate by an external drive device, which in turn drives the splined shaft 9 to rotate, making it convenient to use.
[0035] A connecting shaft 11 is provided inside the first gear 521. The first gear 521 corresponds to the position of the first gear disk 3 and the second gear disk 4, and is meshed with the first gear disk 3 and the second gear disk 4. A second gear 12 is provided between the control gear 531 and the connecting gear 7. A through hole 13 is provided on one side of the second gear 12, and the direction adjustment gear 532 is rotatably installed inside the through hole 13 to stably drive the control gear 531 and the connecting gear 7 to rotate.
[0036] The device has a braking mechanism 14 installed outside the second gear 12. The braking mechanism 14 includes a third gear 141, a connecting shaft 142, and a brake wheel 143. The second gear 12 meshes with the third gear 141 and fixes the third gear 141 on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 142. The connecting shaft 142 is located above the control gear 531 and the connecting gear 7. The brake wheel 143 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting shaft 142.
[0037] In actual use, the brake wheel 143 will experience wear and tear due to long-term use, which will reduce the effectiveness of the brake wheel 143. To facilitate maintenance of the brake wheel 143, the brake wheel 143 will be placed outside the steering control box. This will make maintenance of the brake wheel 143 easier, without the need for extensive disassembly of parts. It will save time and make operation more convenient.
[0038] When the machine is turned, this device controls the first gear 521 to move, changing the correspondence between the first gear 521 and the gear disk. For example, when the machine turns right, the first gear 521 will be aligned with the first gear disk 3, and vice versa, it will be aligned with the second gear disk 4 to drive the gear disk to rotate. To facilitate the control of the movement of the first gear 521, a gear groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 52 and works in conjunction with the first gear 521. A sleeve 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the first gear 521. The sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 11 and is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 11 for easy use.
[0039] Specifically, the working process or principle of a fixed-axis wheel type mechanical in-situ turning device is as follows: When a harvester is turning around in place, it first brakes one side of the moving wheel, and then controls the moving wheel on the other side to move, thereby driving the machine to turn around. Although this operation can achieve mechanical turning, in actual operation, one side of the track will rub against each other in place, causing certain wear on the track. In addition, the moving wheel needs to be tightly braked by the braking device to achieve in-situ turning, which increases the wear of the braking device and causes excessive wear and consumption of components, affecting the use. Therefore, this utility model was designed to solve this problem.
[0040] This utility model allows a tracked harvester to turn while its front and rear wheels rotate together, with one side turning forward and the other side turning backward, thus enabling in-situ turning. This reduces wear on the track and ground, and eliminates the need for braking during turning, minimizing wear on braking equipment and simplifying operation. Specifically, this device is installed on a tracked harvester to control its direction of movement. Rolling wheels are mounted at the ends of the first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2. By driving the first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2 to rotate, the rotation of the rolling wheels on the first drive shaft 1 and the second drive shaft 2 can be controlled, thereby controlling the machine's movement.
[0041] When mechanical steering is required, a person can control the movement of the steering lever. The movement of the steering lever will drive the lever inside the machine to move. For example, when the machine turns to the right, the steering lever is controlled to move, and the drive wheel 51 meshes with the transmission gear 511, controlling the transmission gear 511 to rotate continuously. At the same time, the lever pushes the first gear 521 to move inside the cylinder 52, causing the first gear 521 to separate from the second gear disk 4. In this case, the first gear 521 can no longer drive the second gear disk 4 to rotate.
[0042] Although the first gear 521 cannot mesh with the second gear disk 4, it can mesh with the first gear disk 3. The first gear 521 drives the first gear disk 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the control gear 531 to rotate. The control gear 531 is located outside the first transmission shaft 1, and a bevel tooth 6 is installed on one side of the control gear 531. By meshing the bevel tooth 6 with the direction adjustment gear 532, the direction adjustment gear 532 changes the rotation direction of the second gear disk 4, making the rotation directions of the first gear disk 3 and the second gear disk 4 opposite. This allows the rolling wheels to rotate in opposite directions, enabling the machine to be turned around and facilitating its use.
[0043] This device is connected to the linkage gear 7 via a directional adjustment gear 532. When the linkage gear 7 rotates, it also drives the second gear disk 4 to rotate. Due to the setting of the directional adjustment gear 532, the rotation direction of the second gear disk 4 is changed, effectively replacing the existing belt drive method and improving work efficiency. This device sets two directional adjustment gears 532, which mesh with a control gear 531 and a linkage gear 7 to drive the second gear disk 4 stably.
[0044] This device can turn the harvester around on the spot using the above methods and control the rotation direction of the rolling wheels, which can reduce wear on the tracks. At the same time, there is no need to control the brakes when turning the harvester, which reduces wear on the braking equipment, extends the service life of the braking equipment, and makes it easy to use.
[0045] During installation, the brake wheel 143 is positioned outside the steering control box to facilitate maintenance and operation without requiring extensive disassembly of parts. This saves time and makes operation easier.
