[0034] See Figures 1-5 The rear axle housing assembly in this application enhances the compactness of the transmission system layout and reduces the overall volume and space occupied by integrating the power take-off gear transmission system 2 and the transfer case gear transmission system 3 into the rear axle housing 1, thereby reducing equipment costs by simplifying the structure.

[0035] The rear axle housing assembly of this utility model includes a rear axle housing 1 as the main structure. The rear axle housing 1 serves as the mounting base for the transmission system and provides layout space for different transmission systems. By simultaneously installing the gear system in the rear axle housing 1, the integrated installation of the transmission system can be achieved, forming a compact layout.

[0036] The transmission system specifically includes a power take-off gear transmission system 2 and a transfer case gear transmission system 3. The two different transmission systems are integrated and installed inside the rear axle housing 1.

[0037] The two transmission systems in this utility model each include a transmission shaft and a transmission gear mounted on the transmission shaft. Starting from the integrated installation inside the rear axle housing 1, the power take-off gear transmission system 2 includes a double pump input shaft 21, a double pump idler shaft 22 and a double pump driven gear shaft 23 fixedly installed inside the rear axle housing 1, and power take-off transmission gears that are meshed and connected in sequence are respectively installed on the above different transmission shafts.

[0038] The transfer case gear transmission system 3 includes a transfer case input shaft 31 and a transfer case idler shaft 32, which are fixedly installed inside the rear axle housing 1, and transfer case transmission gears that mesh with each other are installed on the shafts.

[0039] It should be noted that the difference between the transfer case gear transmission system 3 and the power take-off gear transmission system 2 is that the transfer case gear transmission system 3 does not include a driven gear shaft. Instead, the power is transmitted by connecting the driven gear included in the transfer case gear transmission system 3 to the bevel gear shaft 4 included in the central drive assembly.

[0040] By integrating the different drive shafts and gears into the rear axle housing 1, the overall assembly integration can be enhanced while ensuring the effective transmission of power by the two transmission systems, and the volume and space occupied can be reduced, thus lowering costs.

[0041] Regarding the difference between the transfer case gear transmission system 3 and the power take-off gear transmission system 2 described above, in this utility model, a transfer case idler wheel 321 is installed on the transfer case idler wheel shaft 32, and the transfer case idler wheel 321 is meshed with the transfer case driven gear 33. The transfer case driven gear 33 is connected and installed on the bevel gear shaft 4, specifically the small bevel gear shaft 4.

[0042] The transfer case drive gear includes a transfer case drive gear 311, a transfer case idler gear 321, and a transfer case driven gear 33 that are meshed together in sequence. The transfer case idler gear 321 is mounted on the transfer case idler gear shaft 32. Specifically, as an intermediate connection in the transfer case drive, the transfer case idler gear 321 is meshed with the transfer case driven gear 33, and at the same time, the transfer case idler gear 321 is meshed with the transfer case drive gear 311, thus constituting the composition and meshing relationship of the transfer case drive gear.

[0043] From the perspective of the structural composition of the power take-off gear transmission system 2, based on the transmission shaft described above, the power take-off transmission gear includes a double pump drive gear 211, a double pump idler gear 221, and a double pump driven gear 231 that are connected in sequence.

[0044] Furthermore, the dual pump input shaft 21 is mounted inside the rear axle housing 1 via bearings, and the dual pump drive gear 211 is connected to the dual pump input shaft 21 via a spline. This allows the dual pump input shaft 21 to rotate relative to the rear axle housing 1. Simultaneously, the connection between the dual pump drive gear 211 and the dual pump input shaft 21 via the spline enables the dual pump input shaft 21 to drive the dual pump drive gear 211 to rotate synchronously relative to the rear axle housing 1, ensuring a normal power transmission chain.

[0045] The dual pump idler shaft 22 is fixed to the rear axle housing 1 by connecting pins 5 and bolts, and the dual pump idler 221 is connected to the dual pump idler shaft 22 by bearings. With this arrangement, the dual pump idler shaft 222 can be fixedly installed on the rear axle housing 1, allowing the dual pump idler 221 to rotate relative to the dual pump idler shaft 22 and the rear axle housing 1.

[0046] The dual pump driven gear shaft 23 is mounted inside the rear axle housing 1 via bearings. The dual pump driven gear 231 is connected to the dual pump driven gear shaft 23 via splines, thereby achieving an integral connection between the dual pump driven gear 231 and the dual pump driven gear shaft 23, enabling the dual pump driven gear 231 and the dual pump driven gear shaft 23 to rotate synchronously relative to the rear axle housing 1.

[0047] From the structural composition of the transfer case gear transmission system 3, the transfer case input shaft 31 is installed inside the rear axle housing 1 through bearings, the transfer case idler gear 321 is meshed with the transfer case drive gear 311, and the transfer case drive gear 311 is connected to the transfer case input shaft 31 through a spline, so that the transfer case input shaft 31 and the transfer case drive gear 311 rotate relative to the rear axle housing 1.

[0048] Furthermore, similar to the connection of the dual pump idler shaft 22 on the rear axle housing 1, the transfer case idler shaft 32 is fixed to the rear axle housing 1 by connecting pins 5 and bolts, and the transfer case idler 321 is connected to the transfer case idler shaft 32 by bearings.

[0049] This allows the transfer case idler shaft 32 to be fixedly mounted on the rear axle housing 1. Combined with the connection between the transfer case idler 321 and the transfer case idler shaft 32 through the bearing, the transfer case idler 321, which serves as an intermediate connection in the transmission, can rotate relative to the rear axle housing 1 and the transfer case idler shaft 32.

[0050] The bevel gear shaft 4 is mounted on the rear axle housing 1 via bearings, and the transfer case driven gear 33 is integrally connected to the bevel gear shaft 4 via splines, thereby enabling the transfer case driven gear 33 and the bevel gear shaft 4 to rotate synchronously relative to the rear axle housing 1.

[0051] The bevel gear shaft 4 is not part of the transfer case gear transmission system 3, but by connecting the transfer case driven gear 33 to the bevel gear shaft 4, normal transfer case transmission can be guaranteed.

[0052] In terms of the power transmission chain, in the power take-off gear transmission system 2, the motor transmits power to the input shaft 21 of the double pump through the motor output shaft, causing the motor output shaft to drive the input shaft 21 of the double pump to rotate. The input shaft 21 of the double pump drives the driving gear 211 of the double pump to rotate synchronously, further transmitting power to the idler gear 221 of the double pump. The idler gear 221 of the double pump drives the driven gear 231 of the double pump to rotate while rotating, and finally outputs power through the driven gear shaft 23 of the double pump.

[0053] In the transfer case gear transmission system 3, the transfer case input shaft 31 serves as the power input, and while rotating, it drives the transfer case drive gear 311 to rotate synchronously.

[0054] The transfer case drive gear 311 and transfer case driven gear 33 are meshed with the transfer case idler gear 321, so that the transfer case idler gear 321 serves as an intermediate connection for power transmission. When rotating, it drives the double pump driven gear 231 to rotate, and finally outputs power through the bevel gear shaft 4.

[0055] The structure described above in this invention can improve the compactness of the transmission system layout, simplify the structural composition, and reduce equipment costs.

[0056] This utility model also provides a tractor, including the rear axle housing assembly described above. The tractor specifically includes an electric tractor. By installing a motor at the front end of the rear axle housing, a connection for power output and transmission can be formed.

[0057] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
