Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seat tube assembly based on a cotton harvester, which facilitates the stable installation of the spindle body on the seat tube.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a seat tube assembly based on a cotton harvester, comprising a seat tube body, a drive shaft rotatably connected within the seat tube body, a rocker arm disposed at one end of the seat tube body, and multiple spindle-removing bodies mounted on the seat tube body. The spindle-removing body includes a spindle-removing seat with threads on its surface and a spindle-removing rod rotatably connected within the spindle-removing seat. The seat tube body has threaded holes for threaded connection of the spindle-removing seat. The seat tube body is integrally provided with a boss for opening multiple threaded holes. A hexagonal turntable is integrally provided on the periphery of the spindle-removing seat, abutting against the upper surface of the boss. A limiting sleeve is sleeved on the periphery of the boss for abutting against the side of the hexagonal turntable. Both ends of the limiting sleeve are provided with C-shaped buckles for engaging with the end of the seat tube body. A reinforcing rib is provided between the buckles and the limiting sleeve. When the hexagonal turntable rotates to the position abutting against the upper surface of the boss, the side of the hexagonal turntable is parallel to the side wall of the boss.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. When the ingot-removing body is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the boss using the ingot-removing seat with threads on its surface, the ingot-removing seat can be rotated relatively easily by the hexagonal turntable on the periphery of the ingot-removing seat. When the hexagonal turntable rotates to the position where it abuts against the upper surface of the boss, the side of the hexagonal turntable is parallel to the side wall of the boss. Then, the limiting sleeve can be fitted around the boss, and the limiting sleeve is engaged with the end of the seat tube body by the buckle at the end. At this time, the limiting sleeve can abut against the side of the hexagonal turntable, thereby limiting the circumferential rotation of the hexagonal turntable by the limiting sleeve, preventing the hexagonal turntable from automatically deflecting, which ultimately facilitates the stable installation of the ingot-removing body on the seat tube.
[0014] 2. The dust cover can prevent dust from entering the spindle removal base. The dust cover is wrapped around the outside of the spindle removal base and the wrap is secured to the retaining groove on the outer wall of the spindle removal base with a rubber retaining ring. This allows for stable and convenient installation of the dust cover on the spindle removal base.
[0015] 3. The spindle removal rod includes a base rod that passes through the spindle removal seat and a head end that is detachably connected to the upper end of the base rod. When the head end is damaged, only the head end needs to be disassembled and replaced, thus avoiding the need to replace the entire spindle removal body and ultimately saving maintenance costs.
[0016] 4. When it is necessary to disassemble the head end, simply unscrew the connecting bolt in the threaded mounting hole, and then pull the insert rod out of the slot, thereby achieving convenient disassembly and assembly of the head end on the base rod;
[0017] 5. By utilizing the clearance fit between the inner wall of the dust cover and the bolt head of the connecting bolt, the dust cover can limit the connecting bolt in the threaded mounting hole, preventing the connecting bolt from automatically coming out of the threaded mounting hole; when it is necessary to disassemble the connecting bolt, the dust cover must first be removed from the mounting bracket before the connecting bolt can be screwed on, thus ensuring the stable threaded connection of the connecting bolt.
[0018] 6. When it is necessary to periodically inject lubricating oil into the body of the seat tube, the oil injection hole opened in the base rod is connected to the slot and the inside of the seat tube body. After removing the head end, the insert rod can be pulled out of the slot, and then lubricating oil can be injected into the oil injection hole. There is no need to remove the spindle body, thus ensuring the stable fixation of the spindle body on the seat tube body. Attached Figure Description
