[0021] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5The gearbox for a corn harvester shown includes a housing 1. A drive shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on one end of the housing 1, and a drive wheel 13 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 12. A driven shaft 16 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the housing 1, and a driven wheel 17 is fixedly connected to the driven shaft 16. The drive wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17 are meshed together. The drive wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17, among other structures, cooperate to change the transmission ratio to achieve speed matching between the wheels and the engine, meeting the needs of the corn harvester under different driving conditions.
[0022] Considering that wear is likely to occur between the drive wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17 after long-term use of the gearbox, especially in large machines such as corn harvesters, the current practice is to manually add lubricating oil by the operator, which is quite cumbersome. In order to improve the efficiency of the gearbox, a square groove is provided through the top of the housing 1. The liquid box 2 is located above the meshing position of the drive wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17. The liquid box 2 is fixedly connected inside the square groove. Lubricating oil is injected into the liquid box 2. A sliding groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the liquid box 2. Liquid holes 4 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the sliding groove 3. The liquid hole 4 located at the upper position communicates with the inner cavity of the liquid box 2. The liquid hole 4 located at the lower position penetrates the lower surface of the liquid box 2. A slider 5 is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove 3. A through hole 6 is provided on the slider 5. The through hole 6 cooperates with the upper and lower liquid holes 4.
[0023] The slider 5 slides inside the groove 3. When the through hole 6 is connected to the upper and lower liquid holes 4, the lubricant can pass through the through hole 6 and drip into the meshing position of the driving wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17, thereby achieving the lubrication effect. When the through hole 6 is misaligned with the upper and lower liquid holes 4, the slider 5 will separate the upper and lower liquid holes 4, and the lubricant will stop dripping.
[0024] The top of the liquid tank 2 is equipped with an injection pipe and a cap, and the lubricant is replenished through the injection pipe.
[0025] To improve the efficiency of lubricant dripping, a block 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 5 outside the chute 3. A circular hole 7 is provided on the side wall of the liquid box 2, and a sliding rod 8 is slidably installed inside the circular hole 7. An agitator 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 8 inside the liquid box 2. The agitator 11 is S-shaped to expand the agitation range. The end of the sliding rod 8 away from the agitator 11 is fixedly connected to the block 9. The agitator 11 swings back and forth, which can agitate the lubricant, improve the efficiency of lubricant dripping, and ensure the uniformity of the lubricant.
[0026] A vertical plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of block 9. The vertical plate 14 and block 9 are arranged in an L-shape. A rotating bar 15 is fixedly connected to the driven shaft 16. The rotating bar 15 and the vertical plate 14 are in a pressing fit. A spring 18 is provided inside the slide groove 3. One end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the slider 5, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 3.
[0027] Specifically, the driven shaft 16 drives the rotating bar 15 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating bar 15 contacts the vertical plate 14, it will squeeze the slider 5 into the groove 3 through the vertical plate 14 and the block 9. When the through hole 6 is connected to the upper and lower liquid holes 4, the lubricant can drip through the through hole 6 and the liquid holes 4 onto the meshing position of the driving wheel 13 and the driven wheel 17, thereby achieving the lubrication effect. At the same time, the agitator bar 11 is moved by the slide rod 8. When the rotating bar 15 is misaligned with the vertical plate 14, the return force of the spring 18 makes the slider 5 return to its original position. The through hole 6 is misaligned with the upper and lower liquid holes 4, and the slider 5 separates the upper and lower liquid holes 4, so the lubricant stops dripping. At the same time, the agitator bar 11 returns to its original position. With the continuous rotation of the driven shaft 16, the lubricant is added intermittently and automatically.
[0028] By setting up structures such as liquid box 2, liquid hole 4 and slider 5, intermittent automatic addition of lubricating fluid is achieved. At the same time, the agitator bar 11 swings to agitate the lubricating fluid, improve the efficiency of lubricating fluid dripping, and ensure the uniformity of lubricating fluid, thereby improving the efficiency of the gearbox used in corn harvesters.
[0029] A magnet 10 is fixedly embedded on the side of block 9 facing away from slider 5. The magnet 10 has a suitable magnetic strength, which does not affect the use of the driving wheel 13 and driven wheel 17. The setting position can be adjusted according to the specific use. The magnet 10 can attract iron filings generated by the wear of the driving wheel 13 and driven wheel 17, further reducing wear; and the attracted iron filings can be collected and disposed of by the operator.
