Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power transmission device technology, specifically a tractor gearbox. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural production, tractors, as the core power source, significantly improve agricultural production efficiency through coordinated operation with agricultural implements such as seeders and harvesters. The tractor gearbox, as a key transmission component, directly affects the operational effectiveness of the entire agricultural machinery system. Located between the engine and the implements, the tractor gearbox uses a precise gear transmission system to achieve adjustable conversion of the output and input shaft transmission ratios, thereby flexibly adjusting the engine's output speed and torque to meet the diverse power requirements of different implements during operation. However, current tractor gearboxes still have significant shortcomings in practical applications: on the one hand, their limited output speed ratio combinations restrict the compatibility of tractors with various implements; on the other hand, redundant structural design leads to a less compact overall layout and poor stability under operating conditions. These problems, to some extent, limit the working efficiency and applicability of the agricultural machinery system. Utility Model Content

The input shaft 2, output shaft 3, output shaft 4, output shaft 5, and output shaft 6 are all connected to the side wall of the gearbox housing 1 via bearings.

[0026] Input shaft 2 is used for inputting power. One end of input shaft 2 is connected to the tractor's engine, and input transmission gear 21 is provided on input shaft 2. Clutch transmission gear 71 is fixedly provided on the outer circumference of clutch 7, and clutch transmission gear 71 meshes with input transmission gear 21.

[0027] Output shaft 2 4 is provided with output transmission gear 1 41 and output transmission gear 2 42, output shaft 3 5 is provided with output transmission gear 3 51, clutch 2 8 is fixedly provided with clutch transmission gear 2 81 on the outer circumference surface, output transmission gear 1 41 meshes with input transmission gear 21 and output transmission gear 3 51, and output transmission gear 2 42 meshes with clutch transmission gear 2 81.

When the internal spline of clutch 1 7 is separated from the external spline of output shaft 1 3, and the internal spline of clutch 2 8 is separated from the external spline of output shaft 4 6, power is transmitted from the input shaft 2 to the output shaft 2 4 through input transmission gear 21 and output transmission gear 1 41, resulting in an output speed ratio combination. One end of output shaft 2 4 serves as the first hydraulic output, used to connect to the hydraulic drive mechanism.

One end of output shaft 3 serves as the first transmission shaft output, used to connect to the mechanical transmission mechanism; the other end of output shaft 3 serves as the third hydraulic output, used to connect to the hydraulic drive mechanism. The power transmission path is: input shaft 2, input transmission gear 21, clutch transmission gear 71, clutch 7, output shaft 3.

[0034] When the internal spline of clutch 28 engages with the external spline of output shaft 46, power is transmitted from input shaft 2 through input transmission gear 21, output transmission gear 1 41, output shaft 2 4, output transmission gear 2 42, clutch transmission gear 2 81, and clutch 2 8 to output shaft 46, thus obtaining an output speed ratio combination. Output shaft 46 rotates at different speeds than output shaft 3 5. The other end of output shaft 46, away from output shaft 3 5, extends out of gearbox housing 1 as a second transmission shaft output, used to connect the mechanical transmission mechanism.
