Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, specifically to a stubble-removing mechanism with adjustable row spacing. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, stubble removal before tillage is a crucial step in ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent sowing, transplanting, and other operations. As a key component of agricultural machinery, the performance of stubble removal devices directly affects tillage efficiency and the crop growth environment; its efficiency and quality directly impact subsequent sowing, growth, and final yield.

[0003] Traditional stubble removal mechanisms often suffer from fixed row spacing and inconvenient adjustment, which limits their adaptability to different soil conditions and operational needs. The equipment cannot be adapted to different soil textures, crop types, and planting requirements. Especially when facing complex and ever-changing farmland environments, traditional stubble removal mechanisms struggle to achieve ideal stubble removal results and operational efficiency, and therefore require improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stubble-removing mechanism with adjustable row spacing that is simple in structure, easy to adjust, and can ensure operational stability in order to address the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a stubble-cutting mechanism with adjustable row spacing, including a main transmission box. Its structural features are: a sub-transmission box is provided on the side of the main transmission box, and a cutter shaft is installed on both the main transmission box and the sub-transmission box. A cutter disc is installed on the cutter shaft. A transmission shaft for transmitting power is provided on the side of the main transmission box, and a length adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the transmission shaft is installed on the transmission shaft.

[0006] By installing a sub-transmission box on the side of the main transmission box, power is distributed and transmitted, enabling the stubble-clearing mechanism to cover a wider working area and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, cutter shafts and cutter discs are installed on both the main and sub-transmission boxes, ensuring the uniformity and depth of stubble-clearing operations. Adjusting the length of the transmission shaft and the distance between the main and sub-transmission boxes allows for adjustment of the row spacing of the stubble-clearing mechanism, enhancing the equipment's adaptability to different farmlands.

[0007] The drive shaft is equipped with a length adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the drive shaft. The length adjustment mechanism allows the length of the drive shaft to be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustability of the row spacing and enabling the equipment to adapt to the row spacing of different crops and farmland.

[0008] The drive shaft includes a first half-shaft and a second half-shaft. The length adjustment mechanism includes an adjusting sleeve, which is rotatably mounted on the first half-shaft. The second half-shaft has an external thread, and the inner wall of the adjusting sleeve has an internal thread that mates with the external thread. The adjusting sleeve and the second half-shaft are threaded together. By utilizing the engagement between the internal thread on the adjusting sleeve and the external thread on the second half-shaft, precise adjustment of the drive shaft length can be achieved. This engagement method is not only simple and reliable but also has a large adjustment range and is easy to operate.

[0009] The first half-shaft has a splined shaft at its end, and the second half-shaft has internal splined teeth that mate with the splined shaft. The splined shaft passes through the adjusting sleeve and is inserted into the second half-shaft. During the adjustment of the drive shaft length, the splined shaft and the second half-shaft remain engaged, thus ensuring the power transmission between the first and second half-shafts.

[0010] The first half-shaft is provided with a limiting edge, which is circular. The adjusting sleeve has a limiting cavity, and the limiting edge is rotatably installed in the limiting cavity. The limiting edge and the limiting cavity realize the rotational engagement between the adjusting sleeve and the first half-shaft, preventing the adjusting sleeve from shaking or shifting during rotation, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the drive shaft when adjusting its length.

[0011] The adjusting sleeve is equipped with a screwing part for use with a hexagonal wrench. The screwing part has a hexagonal cross-section. The screwing part allows operators to easily rotate the adjusting sleeve using tools such as a hexagonal wrench, thereby adjusting the length of the drive shaft, improving work efficiency and ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0012] Multiple cutter discs are mounted on the cutter shaft, and these discs are spaced apart to ensure the comprehensiveness and depth of stubble removal operations.

[0013] The cutter head is equipped with multiple stubble-crushing blades arranged in a ring around the cutter head. This allows the stubble-crushing mechanism to more effectively break up crop residues, improve soil structure, and provide favorable conditions for subsequent sowing and growth.

[0014] Multiple sub-drive boxes are located on the left and right sides of the main drive box, with drive shafts installed between adjacent sub-drive boxes. This layout allows the stubble-clearing mechanism to cover the work area more evenly, improving work efficiency.

[0015] A universal joint is mounted on the drive shaft, and an input shaft connected to the vehicle body is mounted on the main transmission box. Power is received from the vehicle body through the input shaft and then transmitted to the various sub-transmission boxes through the drive shaft.

[0016] A slider is installed at the rear of the transmission box, and the slider is slidably mounted on the vehicle body. The vehicle body is equipped with a corresponding slide rail for the slider. When the length of the transmission shaft is adjusted, the slider slides on the slide rail to ensure the stability of the equipment operation.

[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by changing the length of the transmission shaft and adjusting the distance between the main transmission box and the sub-transmission box, the row spacing of the stubble-cutting mechanism can be adjusted, thereby achieving adjustable row spacing, improving work efficiency, ensuring uniformity and depth of operation, and adapting to complex and ever-changing farmland environments.
