Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery transmission technology, and in particular to a power reversing device and a tractor. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, on the one hand, the power output of a tractor engine mainly relies on conventional mechanical transmissions such as gears, synchronizers, or meshing sleeves. Mechanical structures such as lever-controlled shift forks control the engagement of gears to change the transmission direction. However, this type of mechanical reversing device is cumbersome to use and requires a high level of hand-foot coordination from the driver. On the other hand, the hydraulic pump power take-off (PTO) of a tractor is generally located on the engine or chassis, and power is output through a pump PTO gear on the drive shaft. However, the compact internal space of the engine and chassis not only increases the installation difficulty of the hydraulic pump PTO but also makes the maintenance and inspection of the hydraulic pump more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a power reversing device to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0034] See appendix Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment discloses a power reversing device, mainly applied to agricultural machinery such as tractors. The power reversing device is located between the engine and the gearbox, transmitting the engine's power to the gearbox and controlling the tractor's forward and reverse movement. The power reversing device includes: a housing 1, an input shaft 2, a first output shaft 4, a drive gear 5, a second output shaft 6, a first clutch 7, a second clutch 8, a drive gear ring 211, and a hydraulic pump (not shown in the figure).

[0035] See appendix Figure 1 , 2The housing 1 includes a front end face 11 and a rear end face 12. The front end face 11 is located on the side closer to the engine, and the rear end face 12 is located on the side closer to the gearbox. The input shaft 2 is installed inside the housing 1. One end of the input shaft 2 passes through the front end face 11 and is connected to the engine via the first spline 26.

[0036] See appendix Figure 2 , 3 The input shaft 2 is equipped with a drive hub 21. The input shaft 2 and the drive hub 21 are connected at their midpoints by a connecting part 212 and rotate synchronously. The drive gear ring 211 is fitted onto the outer ring of the connecting part 212 and rotates synchronously with the drive hub 21. The hydraulic pump is arranged adjacent to the housing 1, and the drive gear ring 211 is connected to the hydraulic pump for transmission.

[0037] The other end of the input shaft 2 extends to the rear end face 12 and connects to the first output shaft 4. The first output shaft 4 is loosely fitted onto the input shaft 2 and is coaxially arranged with the input shaft 2. The first output shaft 4 is provided with a first driven hub 41 that rotates synchronously with the first output shaft 4. Specifically, a needle roller bearing 43 is provided between the circumferential connecting surfaces of the input shaft 2 and the first output shaft 4, and a thrust bearing 44 is provided between the end face connecting surfaces of the input shaft 2 and the first output shaft 4.

[0038] The input shaft 2 and the first output shaft 4 pass through the rear end face 12. The first output shaft 4 is connected to the rear end face 12 via a second bearing 42. The first bearing 22 and the second bearing 42 are used to install and fix the input shaft 2 and the first output shaft 4. A second spline 27 is provided on the other end of the input shaft 2. The second spline 27 is an internal spline and is connected to the PTO shaft in the gearbox. A third spline 45 is provided on the first output shaft 4. The third spline 45 is an external spline and is connected to the drive shaft of the gearbox.

[0039] The first clutch 7 is disposed between the driving hub 21 and the first driven hub 41, allowing the input shaft 2 to selectively connect with the first output shaft 4. The first clutch 7 includes a friction plate assembly 71 disposed between the driving hub 21 and the first driven hub 41. When the friction plate assembly 71 is engaged, the power of the driving hub 21 is transmitted to the first driven hub 41 through the friction plate assembly 71. When the friction plate assembly 71 is disengaged, the transmission connection between the driving hub 21 and the first driven hub 41 is broken.

[0040] See appendix Figures 3 to 5A baffle 75 is provided on the side of the drive hub 21 away from the connecting part 212. A piston 72 is provided on the side of the first driven hub 41 near the connecting part 212. The piston 72, the input shaft 2, the connecting part 212, and the drive hub 21 form a working cylinder chamber. A first oil passage 23 is provided on the input shaft 2, and the first oil passage 23 is connected to the working cylinder chamber of the first clutch 7. A friction plate assembly 71 is disposed between the baffle 75 and the piston 72. The friction plate assembly 71 includes a friction plate and a driven disc. The friction plate is fixed to the drive hub 21, and the driven disc is fixed to the first driven hub 41.

[0041] A limiting plate 74 is provided on the input shaft 2 at a predetermined distance from the piston 72. An elastic element 73 is provided between the limiting plate 74 and the piston 72, so that the piston 72 is disengaged from the friction plate assembly 71. When hydraulic oil enters the working cylinder chamber along the first oil passage 23, it pushes the piston 72 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 73, so that the piston 72 moves towards the baffle 75 to press the friction plate and the driven plate. The power of the driving hub 21 is transmitted to the first driven hub 41.

[0042] The driving gear 5 is loosely fitted on the input shaft 2 and is coaxially arranged with the input shaft 2. The input shaft 2 and the driving gear 5 are connected by a third bearing 52 and a fourth bearing 53. The driving gear 5 is provided with a second driven hub 51 to keep the driving gear 5 rotating synchronously. The second output shaft 6 is installed parallel to the input shaft 2 in the housing 1. The second output shaft 6 is provided with a driven gear 61 that meshes with the driving gear 5.

[0043] The second clutch 8 is disposed between the driving hub 21 and the second driven hub 51, allowing the input shaft 2 to selectively connect with the second output shaft 6. The structure of the second clutch 8 is the same as that of the first clutch 7. The second clutch 8 includes a friction plate assembly 71 disposed between the driving hub 21 and the second driven hub 51. When the friction plate assembly 71 is engaged, the power of the driving hub 21 is transmitted to the second driven hub 51 through the friction plate assembly 71. When the friction plate assembly 71 is disengaged, the transmission connection between the driving hub 21 and the second driven hub 51 is broken.

[0044] Similarly, a second oil passage 24 is provided on the input shaft 2, which is connected to the working cylinder chamber of the second clutch 8. When hydraulic oil enters the working cylinder chamber along the second oil passage 24, the piston 72 moves toward the baffle 75 to press against the friction plate and the driven plate, and the power of the driving hub 21 is transmitted to the second driven hub 51.

[0045] The second output shaft 6 is provided with a fourth spline 62, which is an external spline, and is connected to the transmission shaft of the gearbox. The first output shaft 4 and the second output shaft 6 are guided to the transmission shaft in opposite directions of rotation. When the first clutch 7 is engaged, the second clutch 8 is disengaged, enabling the tractor to move forward. When the second clutch 8 is engaged, the first clutch 7 is disengaged, enabling the tractor to move forward.

[0046] In addition, a third oil passage 25 (not shown in the figure) is provided on the input shaft 2. The third oil passage 25 is connected to the third bearing 52, the fourth bearing 53, the piston 72 of the first clutch 7 and the piston 72 of the second clutch 8, so as to realize the lubrication of the third bearing 52, the fourth bearing 53, the first clutch 7 and the second clutch 8.

[0047] Meanwhile, an oil passage hole 121 is provided below the rear end face 12, so that the housing 1 is connected to the inner cavity of the gearbox. Connecting the housing 1 to the inner cavity of the gearbox allows the drive gear 5, driven gear 61, first clutch 7 and second clutch 8 to be immersed in hydraulic oil, thereby achieving lubrication and heat dissipation of the reversing device.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
