[0024] Terminology:

[0025] Ground speed PTO: A type of PTO whose output shaft speed is positively correlated with the walking vehicle speed.

[0026] To solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the embodiment proposes an arrangement structure for implementing ground speed PTO, which realizes the linear correlation between PTO speed and tractor driving speed, thereby improving the adaptability and efficiency of operation. At the same time, by preventing the PTO clutch from dragging, the power loss is reduced, and the efficiency of the overall transmission system is improved. Moreover, the arrangement structure is reasonable, the load is uniform, and the arrangement space is reduced.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the arrangement structure for implementing ground speed PTO includes a ground speed input assembly, an engine input assembly, a synchronizer assembly 5, and an output assembly.

[0028] The ground speed input assembly includes a coupling power input shaft 19 and a transmission shaft 23, the coupling power input shaft 19 is engaged with the outer diameter of the transmission shaft 23, the transmission shaft 23 is a hollow shaft, and the transmission shaft 23 has a cavity inside. This structure enables the power to be effectively transmitted from the ground speed input assembly to the transmission shaft 23, and the hollow design of the transmission shaft 23 provides installation space for the output assembly.

[0029] The output assembly is installed in the cavity of the transmission shaft 23, and the transmission shaft 23 is coaxially arranged with the ground speed input assembly, ensuring the linearity and stability of power transmission. The synchronizer assembly 5 is installed on the inner end of the engine input assembly, the inner end of the transmission shaft 23, and the inner end of the output assembly, achieving precise synchronization between different assemblies and improving the coordination of the entire system. The outer end of the output assembly is used to connect the PTO clutch, thereby realizing the output of power.

[0030] The engine input assembly includes an engine input shaft 1 and an engagement sleeve 2, the engagement sleeve 2 is sleeved on the end of the engine input shaft 1 and is connected with the engine input shaft 1 through a spline. This connection ensures the firm connection between the engine input shaft 1 and the engagement sleeve 2, improving the reliability of the system.

[0031] The arrangement structure further includes a first bearing bracket 4 and a second bearing bracket 8, which are respectively used to support the engagement sleeve 2 and the transmission shaft 23. The engagement sleeve 2 is rotatably installed in the first bearing bracket 4, and the first bearing 3 is installed between the engagement sleeve 2 and the first bearing bracket 4. The transmission shaft 23 is rotatably installed in the second bearing bracket 8, and the second bearing 7 is installed between the transmission shaft 23 and the second bearing bracket 8. This design ensures the stable rotation of the engagement sleeve 2 and the transmission shaft 23, reducing friction and wear. Further, the outer end of the transmission shaft 23 is provided with a third bearing 12, and the outer side of the third bearing 12 is provided with a first locking nut 13.

[0032] Further, the first bearing 3 is a deep groove ball bearing, and the second bearing 7 is a cylindrical roller bearing. The deep groove ball bearing has good load capacity and high rotation speed, and is suitable for supporting the meshing sleeve 2; the cylindrical roller bearing has large radial load capacity, and is suitable for supporting the transmission shaft 23.

[0033] The coupling power input shaft 19 is also mounted on the second bearing bracket 8 and arranged in parallel with the transmission shaft 23. The end of the coupling power input shaft 19 has a helical gear, the low gear 9 and the high gear 11 are mounted on the transmission shaft 23, the spacer sleeve 10 is arranged between the low gear 9 and the high gear 11, and the helical gear of the coupling power input shaft 19 is engaged with the low gear 9. This design allows the coupling power input shaft 19 to engage with the gears on the transmission shaft 23 to achieve power transmission.

[0034] The coupling power input shaft 19 is mounted on the second bearing bracket 8 through the seventh bearing 21 and the eighth bearing 22, both of which are tapered roller bearings and are symmetrically mounted on the coupling power input shaft 19, and the second locking nut 20 is arranged on the left side of the seventh bearing 21. This design ensures stable rotation of the coupling power input shaft 19 and improves the reliability of the system.

[0035] The output assembly includes a connecting shaft 15 and a PTO output shaft 14, the outer diameter of the connecting shaft 15 is connected to the synchronizer assembly 5 through a spline, and the end of the connecting shaft 15 is connected to the inner end of the PTO output shaft 14 through a spline, and the outer end of the PTO output shaft 14 is used to connect the PTO clutch. This design allows the output assembly to be easily connected to the synchronizer assembly 5 and the PTO clutch, achieving power output.

[0036] One end of the connecting shaft 15 is rotatably mounted in the meshing sleeve 2 through the fourth bearing 16, the other end of the connecting shaft 15 is rotatably mounted in the transmission shaft 23 through the fifth bearing 17, the outer end of the PTO output shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the transmission shaft 23 through the sixth bearing 18, and the fourth bearing 16, the fifth bearing 17 and the sixth bearing 18 are needle bearings. This design ensures stable rotation of the connecting shaft 15 and the PTO output shaft 14, reducing friction and wear.

[0037] The synchronizer assembly 5 in this embodiment is a commercially available structure. Specifically, the synchronizer assembly 5 includes a first synchronizer ring (left side), a second synchronizer ring (right side), and a coupling sleeve (middle inner side). The first synchronizer ring is connected with the engagement sleeve 2, the second synchronizer ring is connected with the transmission shaft 23, and the coupling sleeve is connected with the connecting shaft 15. By pushing the yoke, the connecting shaft 15 can be connected with the engagement sleeve 2 through the coupling sleeve and the first synchronizer ring, or the connecting shaft 15 can be connected with the transmission shaft 23 through the coupling sleeve and the second synchronizer ring. The gear selection of the synchronizer assembly 5 can realize that the PTO rotation speed is selectively related to the engine rotation speed or the vehicle speed, or the PTO has no power output. By adding a synchronizer assembly 5 between the engine output shaft and the PTO input shaft, the problem of PTO dragging is solved, the power loss is reduced, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0038] The arrangement structure of this embodiment can realize the switching of the three modes of the PTO rotation speed, as follows:

[0039] The PTO rotation speed is directly related to the engine rotation speed: the engine input shaft 1 provides the rotation speed and the torque; under the pushing of the yoke 6, the synchronizer assembly 5 is connected with the engagement sleeve 2 through the spline, and at the same time, the synchronizer assembly 5 is always connected with the connecting shaft 15 through the spline; the connecting shaft 15 is connected with the PTO output shaft 14 through the spline; the PTO output shaft 14 transmits the torque to the PTO clutch to complete the power transmission.

[0040] In this state, the first bearing 3, the second bearing 7, the first bearing bracket 4, and the second bearing bracket 8 play a supporting role, and the fourth bearing 16, the fifth bearing 17, and the sixth bearing 18 reduce the installation space while bearing the radial load.

[0041] The PTO rotation speed is 0: the synchronizer assembly 5 is in the middle neutral position, and the PTO has no power and rotation speed output. In this state, the PTO dragging power and other useless work can be reduced to the maximum extent, which helps to improve the overall transmission efficiency of the transmission system.

[0042] The PTO rotation speed is related to the vehicle speed (front and rear axle rotation speed): the coupled power input shaft 19 provides power, which is divided into two parts. One part is transmitted to the tire through the spline on one side of the coupled power input shaft 19; the other part is transmitted to the low gear 9 through the helical gear on the coupled power input shaft 19. The low gear 9 is connected with the transmission shaft 23 through the spline; at this time, under the pushing of the yoke 6, the synchronizer assembly 5 is connected with the transmission shaft 23 through the spline, and at the same time, the synchronizer assembly 5 is always connected with the connecting shaft 15 through the spline; the connecting shaft 15 is connected with the PTO output shaft 14 through the spline; the PTO output shaft 14 transmits the torque to the PTO clutch to complete the power transmission. In this state, the wheel edge speed is associated with the PTO output speed through the coupled power input shaft 19, and the transmission ratio between them is fixed and can be calculated through the gear ratio. Therefore, the PTO output rotation speed is linearly related to the vehicle speed.

[0043] In this state, the first bearing 3, the second bearing 7, the first bearing frame 4 and the second bearing frame 8 bear the support function and mainly bear the radial force; the seventh bearing 21 and the eighth bearing 22 mainly bear the torque of the helical gear of the coupling power input shaft 19; the fourth bearing 16, the fifth bearing 17 and the sixth bearing 18 bear the radial load and reduce the installation space.

[0044] The structure realizes the function of the ground speed PTO by using a synchronizer assembly 5, a set of gear meshes, and a structure of coupling the power input shaft 19 and the ground speed low gear 9 in an integrated manner. The engine and the PTO clutch are on one shaft, and the synchronizer is connected in between. Fewer gear meshes are used between the engine and the PTO, fewer parts are used, and a more compact structure is used to realize the function of the ground speed PTO, which reduces the number of parts and the arrangement space and improves the transmission efficiency. The structure is compact, the use of parts is reduced, and the cost is reduced. Fewer parts and a more compact structure realize the function of the ground speed PTO, which is more suitable for small and compact tractors.

[0045] Based on the above arrangement structure, the embodiment of the utility model further provides an agricultural machinery equipment, such as a rotary cultivator, a baling machine, a seeding machine and the like. This design makes the agricultural machinery equipment can conveniently realize the function of the ground speed PTO, improves the performance and efficiency of the agricultural machinery equipment.

[0046] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in combination with the drawings, it is not a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or deformations made by the skilled in the art on the basis of the technical scheme of the utility model without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
