[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are as follows, please refer to them. Figure 1 The gearbox shown is used in agricultural machinery and includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1 is a rotatable splined shaft 3. Several first bearings 9 are mounted on the splined shaft 3. Bearing seats 2 are fitted onto the first bearings 9. A first sealing mechanism, serving a sealing function, is provided on the surface of the bearing seat 2 that contacts the housing 1. Specifically, the first sealing mechanism is located between the outer periphery of the bearing seat 2 and the housing 1, and simultaneously contacts both the bearing seat 2 and the housing 1. A flange 6 is provided at one end of the splined shaft 3 (the left end shown in the figure), and the right end of the flange 6 is located inside the bearing seat 2. A second sealing mechanism, also serving a sealing function, is provided between the flange 6 and the bearing seat 2. Compared to existing gearboxes, this structure, by providing a first sealing mechanism between the bearing seat 2 and the housing 1, and a second sealing mechanism between the bearing seat 2 and the flange 6, achieves better sealing and stronger leak-proof performance. Overall, it has the advantages of simple and practical structure, good sealing performance, and low operating cost.

[0024] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the spline shaft 3, i.e. the left end shown in the figure, is also provided with a fastener for fixing the flange 6 to the left end of the spline shaft 3. A third sealing mechanism is also provided between the fastener and the spline shaft 3 to perform a sealing function.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 As shown, the first sealing mechanism includes a sealing groove formed on the bearing housing 2 and a sealing ring 4 disposed within the sealing groove. The sealing groove can be circular or any other possible shape, and is not limited here.

[0026] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second sealing mechanism includes several oil seals 5 arranged in parallel. One end of the oil seal 5, i.e. the right end shown in the figure, abuts against the bearing housing 2, thereby playing a sealing role and preventing oil leakage from the bearing housing 2.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, there are two oil seals 5. The two oil seals 5 are fitted onto the flange 6 at the end near the first bearing 9, that is, the right end shown in the figure.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the third sealing mechanism includes a sealing gasket 7, which is fitted onto the left end of the splined shaft 3. One end of the sealing gasket 7, i.e., the right end shown in the figure, abuts against one end of the flange 6, i.e., the left end face of the flange 6 shown in the figure. For the fastener, a lock nut 8 is preferred.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first bearing 9 is preferably a tapered bearing, and there are two of them, with the two first bearings 9 arranged side by side.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first bearing 9 is located away from the oil seal 5 at the right end, which is also provided with a gear 11 that plays a transmission role. The gear 11 is fixedly mounted on the spline shaft 3. When the spline shaft 3 rotates, it drives the gear 11 to rotate together, thereby realizing the transmission of power.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gear 11 is located away from the first bearing 9 at one end, i.e., the right end shown in the figure, and a second bearing 10 is also provided. The second bearing 10 is preferably a cylindrical roller bearing.

[0032] The gearbox with the above-described structure achieves better sealing and stronger leak-proof performance through three layers of sealing: a first sealing mechanism between the bearing housing 2 and the housing 1, a second sealing mechanism between the bearing housing 2 and the flange 6, and a third sealing mechanism at the left end of the splined shaft 3. Therefore, compared to existing gearbox structures, this design offers advantages such as simple and practical structure, better sealing, and lower operating costs.

[0033] Furthermore, this utility model also proposes an agricultural machine, including a gearbox, which is the gearbox described above. The agricultural machine can specifically be a tractor, etc., and is not limited thereto.
