Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tractor technology, specifically relating to a small tractor towing frame. Background Technology
[0002] Small tractors are widely used in agriculture, forestry, and landscaping. In practice, they are typically used as a power source to tow other equipment. For example, a trailer attached to the rear of a small tractor can be used for transport; a rotary tiller can be installed, turning it into a tiller; and a posthole digger can be installed, making it a posthole digger. Therefore, small tractors usually have a drawbar and an output shaft at the rear. The drawbar connects to the trailer and other equipment, while the output shaft provides power to the rotary tiller, posthole digger, etc. One current problem with small tractors is that the driveshaft and drawbar can only be used interchangeably. Using the driveshaft requires removing the drawbar, and vice versa, making operation inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a small tractor towing frame, which enables the rear drive shaft and towing frame of a small tractor to be used simultaneously, saving users the trouble of disassembly and assembly, and making the operation of the user worry-free and labor-saving.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] In one embodiment, a small trailer tow rack is provided for use on a small tractor, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the small tractor drawbar includes a small tractor gearbox 1, which connects to the engine of a small tractor. A small tractor rear axle is mounted on the gearbox 1. The rear axle includes a left half-shaft housing 2 and a right half-shaft housing 3, respectively located on either side of the gearbox 1. The left and right half-shafts of the differential are installed inside the left and right half-shafts, respectively, driving the two wheels on the left and right sides of the small tractor. A drawbar 4 is located behind the rear axle, allowing the small tractor to tow vehicles such as trailers and sleds. A rear driveshaft 5 extends from the rear of the gearbox 1. The rear driveshaft 5 is used to output a portion of the power from the small tractor's engine via the gearbox 1. For example, the power output from the rear driveshaft 5 can drive agricultural or construction equipment such as rotary tillers or posthole diggers via a cross coupling.
[0021] Traction frame connecting seats 6 are respectively provided on the rear side of the left half-shaft housing 2 and the right half-shaft housing 3, combined with Figure 4-6 As shown, taking the traction frame connecting seat 6 on the rear side of the left half-shaft housing 2 as an example, it includes a first vertical rib 61 and a second vertical rib 62 spaced apart on the left and right sides. The first vertical rib 61 and the second vertical rib 62 are integrally formed with the left half-shaft housing 2. By spaced apart the first vertical rib 61 and the second vertical rib 62, it is beneficial to reduce weight and provides two different connection positions. The lower parts of the first vertical rib 61 and the second vertical rib 62 extend downward to below the bottom surface of the left half-shaft housing 2. A first screw hole 63 for connecting the traction frame is provided in the middle and at the bottom of the first vertical rib 61 and the second vertical rib 62, respectively. The traction frame 4 is provided with a corresponding screw hole 63. The second screw hole 41 connects the towing frame 4 to the towing frame connecting seat 6 via bolts. Since the lower parts of the first vertical rib plate 61 and the second vertical rib plate 62 extend downward to the bottom surface of the left half-shaft housing 2, the first screw hole 63 can be arranged downward relative to the rear axle of the small tractor. This allows the towing frame 4 connected to the towing frame connecting seat 6 and the rear drive shaft 5 to be spaced apart vertically behind the small tractor gearbox 1, so that the two will not interfere with each other in space. Thus, the towing frame 4 and the rear drive shaft 5 can be installed simultaneously on the rear side of the small tractor. When using the rear drive shaft 5, it is not necessary to remove the towing frame 4, and when using the towing frame 4, it is not necessary to remove the rear drive shaft 5, which is more convenient to use.
[0022] The rear drive shaft 5 and the towing frame 4 on this small tractor can be installed simultaneously without interfering with each other. Users do not need to remove the towing frame when using the rear drive shaft, nor do they need to remove the rear drive shaft when using the towing frame, saving time and effort. The left half-shaft housing 2, the right half-shaft housing 3, and the towing frame connecting seat 6 on their respective rear sides are integrally cast, resulting in high overall structural strength.
[0023] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the left half-shaft housing 2 and right half-shaft housing 3 of this small tractor are square. Compared to other shapes such as circles, designing the left half-shaft housing 2 and right half-shaft housing 3 as square facilitates the arrangement of the tractor connecting seat 6 on the rear side. The interior of the left half-shaft housing 2 and right half-shaft housing 3 is a square half-shaft hole, and reinforcing ribs 7 extending to the left and right are respectively provided in the middle of the four inner walls of the half-shaft hole. Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing rib 7 on the inner wall of the half-shaft hole of the left half-shaft housing 2 is integrally formed with it. By setting the reinforcing rib 7, the axial strength of the left half-shaft housing 2 can be improved.
[0024] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the towing frame 4 in the small trailer towing frame includes a main towing plate 42, which includes a rear plate portion 421. The left and right ends of the rear plate portion 421 are provided with forward-extending inclined plate portions 422. The front end of the inclined plate portion 422 is provided with an outward-extending connecting plate portion 423. A second screw hole 41 is provided on the connecting plate portion 423. A first ear seat 43 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the rear plate portion 421. The first ear seat 43 can be used to connect equipment such as carriages. Compared with the current Y-shaped towing frame, the towing frame 4 of this shape in this embodiment can shorten the length and has a more compact structure, reducing the space occupied on the rear side when installed on the rear side of the small trailer axle. The main traction plate 42 is a vertical flat plate. A first reinforcing rib 44 is provided along the outer side of the main traction plate 42. The first reinforcing rib 44 is widened at the corner between the inclined plate portion 422 and the connecting plate portion 423. A second reinforcing rib 45 is provided on the inner side of the corner between the inclined plate portion 422 and the rear plate portion 421 on the left and right sides, respectively. The first reinforcing rib 44 and the second reinforcing rib 45 are horizontal flat plates. By setting the reinforcing ribs, the strength of the traction frame 4 can be improved.
[0025] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the small tractor towing frame has a support plate 8 on the rear side of the small tractor gearbox 1, and a second ear seat 81 at the bottom of the support plate 8. The second ear seat 81 can be used to install hydraulic cylinders to support equipment such as rotary tillers on the rear side of the small tractor.
[0026] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the second vertical rib 62 of the left half-shaft housing 2 of the small tractor is located near the flange 21 on its outer side. A flange reinforcing rib 64 is provided between the second vertical rib 62 and the flange 21 to improve the strength of the right half-shaft housing 2 and the flange 21. Similarly, a flange reinforcing rib is also provided on the right half-shaft housing.
