Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor power output oil seal testing technology, and in particular to a tractor power output oil seal testing device. Background Technology

[0002] The power take-off (PTO) oil seal is the most critical of all oil seals in a tractor. If a problem occurs, foreign objects, water, etc., can enter the chassis oil, damaging the hydraulic system (including hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, and valves). This can lead to damage to the tractor's transmission and hydraulic systems, resulting in significant losses. Some manufacturers in the industry test the performance of the PTO oil seal before the tractor leaves the factory.

[0003] Currently, testing of tractor power take-off (PTO) oil seals involves mounting the oil seal on the entire machine and conducting field tests during the operating season to obtain oil seal reliability data. This process is labor-intensive, costly, and limited by the operating season. The limited operating time each year and the lengthy machine verification process impact vehicle sales.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a tractor power output oil seal testing device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the tractor power output oil seal testing device of this embodiment includes a support assembly, a medium tank 1, and a torque loading device 2. The support assembly is disposed at one end of the medium tank 1, and the tractor chassis 3 is mounted on the upper end of the support assembly. A power output transmission assembly 31 is provided at the end of the tractor chassis 3 near the medium tank 1. The power output transmission assembly 31 has a power output shaft 311 extending outward therefrom. The power output transmission assembly 31 is provided with a power output bearing cover 312 located outside the power output shaft 311. An oil seal is provided between the power output bearing cover 312 and the power output shaft 311. The oil seal 313 is provided with a sealing structure 11 at one end of the medium tank 1 near the tractor chassis 3. The end face of the power output bearing cover 312 is sealed to the sealing structure 11. The power output shaft 311 passes through and extends into the sealing structure 11. The medium tank 1 is filled with simulated slurry. The medium tank 1 is provided with a spraying system for spraying slurry onto the oil seal 313. The torque loading device 2 is provided at the other end of the medium tank 1. The torque loading device 2 is connected to the power output shaft 311 through a universal joint drive shaft 4 passing through the side wall of the other end of the medium tank 1.

[0028] In this embodiment of the tractor power output oil seal test device, the tractor chassis 3 is an existing product. The tractor chassis 3 is generally equipped with a bracket at one end (the front end) and a power output transmission assembly 31 at the rear end. The power output transmission assembly 31 is connected to the rear axle, and the engine is mounted on the upper end of the bracket. The power output transmission assembly 31 is existing technology (including the power output shaft 311, the power output bearing cover 312, the oil seal 313, etc., which are all existing products), and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Before the test, the tractor chassis 3 was mounted as a whole on the upper end of the support assembly, and the power output shaft 311 was inserted into the sealing structure 11 at one end of the medium tank 1. The power output bearing cover 312 was sealed to the end of the sealing structure 11. At the same time, the torque loading device 2 at the other end of the medium tank 1 and the shaft end of the power output shaft 311 were connected through the universal joint drive shaft 4. The torque loading device 2 drove the power output shaft 311 to rotate through the universal joint drive shaft 4. During the process, simulated slurry was sprayed towards the oil seal 313 through the spraying system to simulate the working conditions of the oil seal when the tractor is working in the field. The entire test device has a reasonable structural design and can simulate the actual working state of the tractor when working in the field. It is not affected by the working season and can be tested all year round, which extends the verification cycle and improves the verification efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, the aforementioned support assembly includes two sets of support frames 10, which are respectively supported at both ends of the bottom of the tractor chassis 3. Each support frame 10 generally includes a base plate and a support plate, with the support plate located above the base plate and multiple support beams connecting them. One set of support frames 10 is supported below a bracket at one end of the tractor chassis 3, while the other set of support frames 10 is supported below the power output transmission assembly 31. This ensures that the gearbox, located in the middle of the tractor chassis 3, is level.

[0031] In this embodiment, the torque loading device 2 uses a torque loading motor of a suitable model. The universal joint drive shaft 4 passes through a suitable hole on the other side wall of the medium tank 1 and is connected to the output end of the torque loading device 2. A rubber ring is set at the hole, tightly wrapped around the universal joint drive shaft 4, which plays a sealing role in the hole and prevents the slurry in the medium tank 1 from splashing through the hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the simulated slurry in the medium tank 1 is taken from the field and is a mixture of water and mud.

[0033] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 4As shown, the sealing structure 11 includes a docking circular tube 111, a flexible cylinder 112, and a cylindrical sealing fixture 113. The docking circular tube 111 horizontally penetrates one end of the side wall of the medium tank 1. One end of the flexible cylinder 112 is sleeved on one end of the docking circular tube 111, and the two are sealed together. The other end of the flexible cylinder 112 is sleeved on one end of the sealing fixture 113, and the two are sealed together. A through hole is opened in the middle of the other end of the sealing fixture 113. A sealing ring groove is provided on the outside of the through hole. The end face of the power output bearing cover 312 is embedded in the sealing ring groove, and the two are in sealed contact. The sealing fixture 113 is connected to the housing of the power output transmission assembly 31 through a connector. The power output shaft 311 passes through the through hole and extends into the docking circular tube 111.

[0034] In the above implementation scheme, the design of the sealing structure 11 facilitates the sealing assembly with the power output bearing cover 312. At the same time, the design of the flexible cylinder 112 can reduce the transmission of vibration generated during the operation of the whole machine to the water tank, achieving the dual effects of shock absorption and sealing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two ends of the flexible cylinder 112 are respectively connected and fixed to the docking round pipe 111 and the sealing fixture 113 by metal cable ties clamped at both ends. The assembly method is simple and quick.

[0036] In this embodiment, the flexible cylinder 112 is made of rubber.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the spraying system includes a spray pipe 51 and a pump body 52. ​​The pump body 52 is installed in the medium tank 1. The output end of the pump body 52 is connected to the spray pipe 51. The spray pipe 51 is connected to spray pipes that extend to both sides of the oil seal 313.

[0038] In the above implementation scheme, when the torque load on the power output shaft 311 passes through the main pipe, the pump body 52 pumps the slurry in the medium tank 1 through the spray pipe 51 to two spray pipes, and sprays it downward through the port of the spray pipe towards the oil seal 313 to simulate the contact condition between the oil seal 313 and the mud in the field.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the spray pipe 51 is connected to an overflow pipe b extending to the upper part of the medium tank 1. The spray pipe 51 has a pipe section extending to the upper part of the medium tank 1, and both the pipe section and the overflow pipe are provided with control valves.

[0040] In the above implementation scheme, the overflow pipe is designed to divert the flow when the pump body 52 pumps a large flow rate. At the same time, both the overflow pipe and the spray pipe 51 have pipe sections located at the top of the medium tank 1, which makes it convenient for operators to operate the control valve at the top of the medium tank 1 to adjust the flow rate of the pipeline.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a pneumatic agitator is also included to prevent slurry sedimentation, and the pneumatic agitator is disposed in the medium tank 1.

[0042] In the above implementation scheme, the pneumatic agitator injects gas into the simulated slurry in the medium tank 1, causing the slurry to flow, thereby preventing the sediment in the slurry from settling at the bottom and ensuring that the sediment content (concentration) in the slurry meets the requirements of the test.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall of the media tank 1 is fitted with an aeration pipeline 6 via a bracket. The port of the aeration pipeline 6 passes through the upper part of the side wall of the media tank 1 and extends to the outside of the media tank 1. The lower part of the aeration pipeline 6 has multiple aeration holes.

[0044] In the above implementation scheme, the port of the aeration pipeline 6 is connected to the compressor. The compressor delivers pressurized gas to the aeration pipeline 6, which is then sprayed onto the bottom wall of the medium tank 1 through the aeration control of the aeration pipeline 6, thereby causing the slurry in the medium tank 1 to flow and preventing the sediment from settling and reducing the concentration.

[0045] In this embodiment, the aeration pipeline 6 includes a main pipe and multiple branch pipes. One end of the main pipe extends to the outside of the medium tank 1. The main body of the main pipe extends between the two ends of the medium tank 1. The multiple branch pipes are distributed at intervals between the two ends of the medium tank 1 near the bottom wall and are parallel to each other. Each branch pipe is suspended above the bottom wall of the medium tank 1 by a bracket and has aeration holes distributed at intervals along the length of the pipe.
