This description is merely illustrative and explanatory, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can combine the features in the embodiments described herein and in different embodiments according to the description in this document.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are as follows, please refer to them. Figures 1 to 6 The transmission and its components shown include a housing 7, within which a first shaft 3 and a second shaft 5 are disposed. The second shaft 5 is located at one end of the first shaft 3. Figure 1 As shown on the right end, the axes of the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5 coincide. Gears 15 are respectively provided at the joint of the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5. A connecting sleeve 2 is provided on the gear 15 to connect the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5. The connecting sleeve 2 can slide left and right on the gear 15. When one end of the connecting sleeve 2 is placed on the first shaft 3 and the other end is placed on the second shaft 5, the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5 are engaged, and both shafts can rotate simultaneously. A gear ring 14 that meshes with the gear 15 is provided inside the connecting sleeve 2. The gear ring 14 includes several first gear teeth 10, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the end face of the first gear 10 is provided with a first guide angle R1 and a second guide angle R2 of the same size, and the angles of the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2 are between 110 degrees and 130 degrees. In this gearbox structure, by setting the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2 between 110 degrees and 130 degrees on the gear teeth of the gear ring 14 of the engagement sleeve 2, when the gear ring 14 needs to mesh with the gear 15, it is guided by the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2, that is, the meshing of the two is easier. Therefore, the shifting is smoother and the operation is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the angles of the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2 are between 118 degrees and 122 degrees. More preferably, the angles of the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2 are between 119.5 degrees and 120.5 degrees.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the angle between the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2 is 120 degrees.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the extension line of the hypotenuse of the first guide angle R1 and the extension line of the hypotenuse of the second guide angle R2 of the first gear tooth 10 form a first angle 11. The first angle 11 is the same as the size of the first guide angle R1 and the second guide angle R2, that is, between 110 degrees and 130 degrees, preferably around 120 degrees.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the gear 15 on the second shaft 5 includes several second gear teeth 12. The second gear teeth 12 are respectively provided with a third guide angle R3 and a fourth guide angle R4. The angles of the third guide angle R3 and the fourth guide angle R4 are the same as the angles of the first guide angle and the second guide angle R2, that is, they are also between 110 degrees and 130 degrees, preferably around 120 degrees.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the extension of the hypotenuse of the third guide angle R3 and the extension of the hypotenuse of the fourth guide angle R4 of the second gear tooth 12 form the second angle 13. The second angle 13 is the same as the first angle 11, that is, between 110 degrees and 130 degrees.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gearbox includes a control lever 6, which is mounted on the housing 7. One end of the control lever 6, i.e. the lower end shown in the figure, is provided with a shift fork 1 for shifting gears.

[0039] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the engaging sleeve 2 is provided with a shift fork groove 9. The end of the shift fork 1 facing away from the operating lever 6, that is, the lower end shown in the figure, is placed in the shift fork groove 9. When the operating lever 6 is operated, the lower end of the shift fork 1 moves in the shift fork groove 9, and drives the engaging sleeve 2 to move left and right, thereby realizing the engagement or disengagement of the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5. In addition, the right end of the second shaft 5 is also provided with a flange 8 for connecting.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the second shaft 5 that contacts the first shaft 3, i.e., the left end shown in the figure, is also provided with a friction-resistant copper sleeve 4, which is fitted onto the shaft end of the second shaft 5. More specifically, the left end of the second shaft 5 has a protrusion, and the right end of the first shaft 3 has a recess. The copper sleeve 4 is fitted onto the protrusion and is entirely placed inside the recess, thereby preventing direct friction between the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5.

[0041] This gearbox structure features a guide angle between 110 and 130 degrees on the first gear 10 of the gear ring 14 of the engagement sleeve 2 and on the gear 15 of the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 5. When the gear ring 14 needs to mesh with the gear 15, the guide angle determines which gear is engaged. This changes the traditional arrangement where the ends of both the gear 15 and the gear ring 14 are flat, making meshing easier and resulting in smoother gear shifting and more time- and labor-saving operation.

[0042] Furthermore, this utility model also proposes an agricultural machine, including a gearbox, which is the gearbox described above. The agricultural machine can be a tractor, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] Agricultural machinery with this structure, correspondingly, possesses the advantages of the aforementioned gearboxes.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
