Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harvester technology, and in particular to a continuously variable transmission device for harvesters used in hilly and mountainous areas. Background Technology

[0002] Combine harvesters are common integrated machines for harvesting crops, completing the harvesting and threshing process in one operation. The grain is then collected in a storage bin and transported to a truck via a conveyor belt. Manual harvesting is also possible, where the stalks of crops such as rice and wheat are laid out in the field and then collected and threshed by grain harvesting machinery. Existing combine harvesters are typically large, and due to the addition of the control system, the overall weight is significant. Large combine harvesters are less suitable for mountainous and hilly areas because the plots in these areas are small and irregular, making it impossible for large machinery to access them. In mountainous and hilly areas, power supply is limited, affecting the performance and efficiency of the harvesters.

[0003] Harvesters are essential machinery for harvesting crops. The three most commonly used transmission systems are hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (HST) with a drive axle, hydraulic-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMT), and mechanical transmission (manual transmission). The HST + drive axle system is widely used due to its ease of operation and wide stepless speed range.

[0004] The transmission devices in existing harvesters are too large, complex in structure, and expensive, making them unsuitable for use in hilly and mountainous areas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a continuously variable transmission device for harvesters in hilly and mountainous areas in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art mentioned above.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a continuously variable transmission device for harvesters in hilly and mountainous areas, including an HST assembly assembly, a gearbox assembly and a drive shaft assembly assembly. In the HST assembly assembly, the hydraulic motor is connected to the HST transmission bridge assembly, the hydraulic pump is connected to the gearbox assembly, and drive shaft assemblies are installed on both sides below the gearbox assembly. The gearbox assembly is equipped with a steering control device and a shifting device.

[0007] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a transmission housing, in which an I-shaft assembly and a steering clutch shaft assembly are installed. The output end of the HST assembly engages with the I-shaft assembly. An intermediate shaft assembly is located above the steering clutch shaft assembly, and an IV-shaft assembly is located below the steering clutch shaft assembly. The steering clutch shaft assembly engages with both the IV-shaft assembly and the intermediate shaft assembly. The drive shaft assembly engages with the IV-shaft assembly. The I-shaft assembly is located above the intermediate shaft assembly and engages with it.

[0008] Furthermore, the steering control device includes a steering control plate and steering fork assemblies distributed on the left and right sides. The steering fork assemblies are mounted on the steering clutch shaft assembly, and the steering control plates are mounted on both ends of the intermediate shaft assembly. The steering fork assemblies are connected to the steering control plates.

[0009] Furthermore, a gear shifting device is installed on the I-axis assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive shaft assembly includes a drive shaft, one end of which is fitted with a drive wheel, and the other end of which is fitted with a drive gear.

[0011] Furthermore, the gearbox housing has a split structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, is lightweight, has low cost, and is compact, making it suitable for harvesters in hilly and mountainous areas. Attached Figure Description
