Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor gearbox technology, specifically to a PTO gearbox and a tractor. Background Technology
[0002] Tractors are important agricultural machines widely used in agricultural production. A tractor consists of an engine and a PTO (Power Toggle) gearbox connected together. By adjusting the gearbox, different speeds can be output, and various PTO speeds can be matched with different agricultural implements, suitable for various operating modes. Existing small and medium-sized tractor PTO gearboxes can output two or three speeds, and the output shaft rotates in the same direction. However, in some agricultural production scenarios, the PTO gearbox output shaft needs to have a reverse function. For example, some specialized equipment (such as two-way lawnmowers) requires alternating forward and reverse power operation, and if agricultural implements (such as plows and harrows) are stuck by foreign objects, a short-term reverse rotation can help them get out of trouble. Existing small and medium-sized tractor PTO gearboxes do not have a reverse function, cannot adjust the output shaft rotation direction, lack operational flexibility, and are difficult to adapt to complex operating needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The first objective of this utility model is to provide a PTO gearbox that addresses the problems of existing PTO gearboxes in small and medium-sized tractors lacking a reverse function, unable to adjust the output shaft rotation direction, having insufficient operational flexibility, and being difficult to adapt to complex operational needs. The second objective of this utility model is to provide a tractor.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned primary objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A PTO (Push-Turn-Off) transmission includes a housing; a main shaft, a shift shaft, a secondary transmission shaft, and an output shaft are rotatably mounted on the housing; a reverse gear, a low gear, and a high gear are fixedly mounted on the main shaft, and a main shaft gear is rotatably mounted axially; a shift shaft gear is fixedly mounted on the shift shaft, and a double shift gear is circumferentially slidably mounted thereon; a drive gear is fixedly mounted on the secondary transmission shaft, a double reverse gear is rotatably mounted axially, and a pinion is circumferentially fixed; a driven gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft; and the double shift gear... It includes a first large gear and a first small gear connected together; the reverse double gear includes a second large gear and a second small gear connected together; the reverse gear and the second large gear mesh with each other; the shift shaft gear and the shift pinion do not mesh with each other, but both mesh with the main shaft gear; the driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other; the shift double gear can be moved axially to the first small gear to mesh with the fast gear to achieve forward rotation of the output shaft at a first speed, or to the first large gear to mesh with the slow gear to achieve forward rotation of the output shaft at a second speed, or to the first large gear to mesh with the second small gear to achieve reverse rotation of the output shaft.
[0006] In this utility model employing the aforementioned technical solution, when the double-gear shifter meshes with the slow gear or the fast gear, the main shaft drives the shift shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, further driving the auxiliary transmission shaft and the output shaft to rotate in sequence, ultimately resulting in the output shaft rotating in the same direction as the main shaft. When the double-gear shifter meshes with the double-gear reverse gear, the reverse gear, the double-gear reverse gear, and the double-gear shifter sequentially drive the main shaft to rotate in the same direction, further driving the auxiliary transmission shaft and the output shaft to rotate in sequence, ultimately resulting in the output shaft rotating in the opposite direction to the main shaft. Compared to the existing technology where the PTO gearbox of small and medium-sized tractors lacks a reverse function, cannot adjust the direction of output shaft rotation, has insufficient operational flexibility, and is difficult to adapt to complex operational needs, this utility model's PTO gearbox, by adjusting the gears, can achieve both forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft, providing greater operational flexibility and adapting to complex operational needs.
[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary transmission shaft is also equipped with an axially fixed and rotatably mounted shift gear; the main shaft gear is a double gear, including a third large gear and a third small gear connected together; both the shift shaft gear and the shift small gear mesh with the third large gear, and the shift large gear meshes with the third small gear; the shift small gear is axially slidably mounted on the auxiliary transmission shaft; the shift small gear can be axially moved to disengage from the third large gear and engage with the shift large gear to achieve linkage rotation with the shift large gear; when the shift small gear meshes with the third large gear, When the shift double gear is engaged with the slow gear, fast gear, and reverse double gear, two forward speeds and one reverse speed can be achieved on the output shaft. By moving the shift pinion to disengage from the third large gear and engaging it with the shift large gear, and then adjusting the shift double gear to engage with the slow gear, fast gear, and reverse double gear, two other forward speeds and one other reverse speed can be achieved on the output shaft. In this way, the PTO gearbox can output four forward and two reverse speeds, for a total of six speed levels, making it compatible with a wider range of agricultural implements and suitable for various applications.
[0008] Furthermore, a positioning block is provided on the end face of the shift pinion, and a positioning groove is provided on the end face of the shift gear. The positioning block can be inserted into the positioning groove along the axial direction to fix the shift pinion and the shift gear in the circumferential direction. With this setting, the insertion and engagement structure between the shift pinion and the shift gear is simple, easy to manufacture, and the two are reliable to achieve linkage rotation of the shift pinion and the shift gear.
[0009] Furthermore, the shift double gear and the shift shaft, as well as the shift pinion and the auxiliary transmission shaft, are connected by splines; a first retaining ring is installed on the main shaft to axially fix the main shaft gear; a second retaining ring and a third retaining ring are installed on the auxiliary transmission shaft to axially fix the shift large gear and the reverse double gear, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the gearbox housing is equipped with a first shift fork mechanism and a second shift fork mechanism; the first shift fork mechanism is connected to the shift double gear and is used to drive the shift double gear to move axially; the second shift fork mechanism is connected to the shift pinion and is used to drive the shift pinion to move axially; by setting the first shift fork mechanism and the second shift fork mechanism, it is convenient for the operator to adjust the shifting of the PTO gearbox.
[0011] Furthermore, a clutch is installed inside the housing, through which the power output shaft of the tractor engine is connected to the main shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the housing includes a front cover, a rear cover, and a partition between them; the main shaft, shift shaft, auxiliary transmission shaft, and output shaft are all rotatably mounted on the housing via two bearings, which are respectively mounted on the partition and the rear cover; the clutch is installed between the front cover and the partition; the housing structure is rationally laid out, facilitating the installation and disassembly of each shaft and the clutch.
[0013] To achieve the second objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0014] A tractor including the aforementioned PTO gearbox.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by adjusting the gear, the output shaft can be rotated forward or backward, which is more flexible in operation and can adapt to complex operation needs; this PTO gearbox outputs four forward and two reverse speeds, for a total of six speed levels, which can be matched with more types of agricultural machinery and has a wide range of applicability; the tractor has the same technical effect as the aforementioned PTO gearbox.
