Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor technology, and in particular to an internal drive gearbox for tracked tractors. Background Technology

[0002] The gearbox is one of the key components of a tractor. It realizes the conversion of the transmission ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft. The input shaft and the output shaft of the tractor gearbox are generally connected by a five-stage reduction or a three-stage reduction. The gearbox is used to install the reduction gears and connecting shafts of each stage, which makes the internal structure of the gearbox complex, bulky and requires a lot of installation space, which is not conducive to the lightweight and simplified design of the tractor.

[0003] Currently, in small and medium-sized tracked tractors with 30 to 80 horsepower, due to the small size of the gearbox, the planetary reduction mechanism is generally installed on the outside of the gearbox. The planetary reduction mechanism drives the transmission mechanism inside the gearbox from the outside. Although the size of the gearbox remains unchanged, this design still requires sufficient installation space to be reserved on the tractor for the installation of the planetary mechanism, which increases the difficulty of gearbox installation and is not conducive to the technological development of tractor miniaturization. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an internal drive gearbox for tracked tractors, which simplifies the transmission mechanism of the gearbox to adapt to the installation and maintenance of small tractors.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: an internal drive gearbox for a tracked tractor, comprising a gearbox housing, inside which two sets of planetary reduction mechanisms are installed. Each planetary reduction mechanism includes a sun gear set, planet gears, and a planet carrier. The planet carrier is fixedly connected to an end drive shaft. One end of the end drive shaft extends to the outside of the gearbox. End drive shafts are installed on both sides of the gearbox housing. A large reduction gear is also installed on the end drive shaft. An end reduction gear is provided at the end of the end drive shaft extending to the outside of the gearbox. The large reduction gear meshes with the end reduction gear. The center distance between the end reduction gear and the large reduction gear is 172mm ± 5mm. The gearbox also includes an internal gear with a diameter of 72mm ± 5mm. Two sets of internal teeth are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the internal gear. The two sets of planetary reduction mechanisms are installed inside the internal gear, and each of the internal teeth on the internal gear meshes with a set of planetary gears. A driven spiral bevel gear is sleeved on the outer side of the internal gear. The driven spiral bevel gear meshes with the TE driving bevel gear. The front end of the TE driving bevel gear is integrally provided with a TE driving bevel gear shaft. The TE driving bevel gear shaft extends from the front end of the gearbox housing. The installation distance from the front end face of the TE driving bevel gear to the axis of the end driving shaft is 129mm ± 5mm, and the installation distance from the central axis of the TE driving bevel gear to the rear end face of the driven spiral bevel gear is 47mm ± 5mm.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the sun gear assembly of the planetary reduction mechanism is coaxial with the end drive shaft.

[0007] As a further improvement, the sun gear assembly includes a large sun gear, a sun gear shaft integrally connected to the center of the large sun gear, a small end sun gear at the end of the sun gear shaft, planet gears arranged around the small end sun gear and meshing with the small end sun gear, and the axles of the planet gears connected to the planet carrier.

[0008] As a further improvement, the sun gear shaft has an internal mounting channel. One end of the end drive shaft passes through the mounting channel of the sun gear shaft from one end of the large sun gear. The end of the end drive shaft extending out of the sun gear shaft is connected to the planet carrier through a high and low gear internal gear ring.

[0009] As another improvement, the internal gear is provided with pressure caps on both sides, one end of the planetary carrier is supported on the inner end face of the pressure cap, the pressure cap is provided with a central bushing coaxial with the sun gear shaft, the sun gear shaft passes through the central bushing, and a cylindrical roller bearing is installed between the sun gear shaft and the central bushing.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the gearbox has drive shaft holes on both sides to facilitate the passage of the end drive shaft and drive shaft holes to facilitate the passage of the end drive shaft.

[0011] As a further improvement, an end-drive bearing housing is installed in the drive shaft hole, and a tapered roller bearing is installed between the end-drive bearing housing and the central sleeve of the pressure cap.

[0012] As a further improvement, an adjusting nut is installed on the outer side of the end active bearing housing. The outer wall of the adjusting nut has multiple slots distributed in a ring. An "L"-shaped locking piece is engaged in the slot. The engaging end of the locking piece is engaged in the slot, and its fixed end is fixed to the gearbox housing by a fastener.

[0013] As another improvement, an end drive bearing housing is installed in the drive shaft hole, and a deep groove ball bearing is installed between the end drive bearing housing and the end drive shaft.

[0014] As another improvement, the gearbox housing is further provided with a transmission housing on both sides, which covers the outside of the end drive shaft and the end drive shaft. One end of the end drive shaft extends out of the transmission housing and is connected to the drive wheel, and one end of the end drive shaft extends out of the transmission housing and is connected to the brake.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The planetary reduction mechanism is installed inside the gearbox, becoming part of the transmission mechanism inside the gearbox, changing external drive to internal drive, and no longer occupying the installation space outside the gearbox.

[0017] 2. A planetary reduction mechanism and a large reduction gear are installed between the end drive shaft and the end drive shaft to achieve two-stage reduction of the gearbox. Compared with conventional five-stage or three-stage reduction gearboxes, the transmission mechanism structure is more streamlined and the transmission efficiency is higher.

[0018] 3. The gearbox housing is small in size, but the sun gear is coaxial with the end drive shaft, and the center distance between the end reduction gear and the large reduction gear is maintained at 172mm±5mm, which is consistent with the reserved size of conventional gearboxes. It can directly replace the gearboxes of existing 30-80 horsepower small and medium tractors, and has strong versatility. Attached Figure Description
