Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gearbox transmission technology, specifically relating to a variable speed gearbox transmission mechanism for transplanting machines. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, agricultural machinery has been developing towards miniaturization and lightweighting, especially transplanting machinery, which places greater emphasis on overall machine portability to meet the needs of hilly and mountainous areas, small fields, and greenhouse operations. Currently, the main actuating components of non-traction transplanters are the frame chassis and the transplanting mechanism. The transmission components include a reducer, gearbox, and various levels of chain and belt drives, which transmit the power output from the engine to the frame chassis and the transplanting mechanism to perform the transplanting operation.

[0003] However, the power output from the engine must pass through a reducer and a multi-speed gearbox to adjust the torque and speed to an appropriate range before being input to the actuators. This necessitates consideration of the size and weight of the reducer and gearbox, their connection, and installation layout, which is detrimental to the overall lightweight design of the machine. Furthermore, poor precision in the connection between the reducer and gearbox can lead to abnormal noises, vibrations, and low stability. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and to propose a variable speed gearbox transmission mechanism for transplanting machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a variable speed gearbox transmission mechanism for a transplanter, comprising a cover, a housing, an input shaft, an output shaft one, an output shaft two, a reduction gear set, and a sliding gear set.

[0007] The cover and housing are detachably fixed. The input shaft passes through a circular hole 1 on the housing and enters the housing body, forming a rotating pair with both the cover and the circular hole 1. The output shaft 1 passes through a circular hole 2 on the housing body and enters the housing body, forming a rotating pair with both the cover and the circular hole 2. It is connected to the input shaft through a reduction gear set located inside the housing body. A speed-changing gear 1 and a speed-changing gear 2, arranged at intervals, are fixed on the output shaft 1 within the housing body. The output shaft 2 passes through a circular hole 3 on the cover and enters the housing body, forming a rotating pair with both the housing body and the circular hole 3. The auxiliary gear set is located on the output shaft two within the housing. It consists of a sleeve and two gear sets, a third and a fourth gear, fixed at both ends of the sleeve. The sleeve is fitted onto the output shaft two and connected to it via splines and spline grooves. Both gear sets are located between gear sets one and two, with gear set three being closer to gear set one than gear set four. The input shaft is located outside the housing and connected to the clutch mounting shaft via a belt drive mechanism. A clutch is mounted on the clutch mounting shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the box body is also provided with a slot.

[0009] Preferably, the reduction gear set includes a first reduction gear pair, a first gear shaft, a second reduction gear pair, a second gear shaft, and a third reduction gear pair. Both the first and second gear shafts are parallel to the input shaft. One end of each of the first and second gear shafts forms a rotating pair with the housing cover, and the other end of each of the first and second gear shafts forms a rotating pair with the housing body. The first gear shaft is connected to the input shaft through the first reduction gear pair and to the second gear shaft through the second reduction gear pair. The second gear shaft is connected to the output shaft through the third reduction gear pair.

[0010] More preferably, the reduction gear pair includes a first reduction gear and a second reduction gear, which mesh and are respectively fixed on the input shaft and the gear shaft.

[0011] More preferably, the second reduction gear pair includes a third reduction gear and a fourth reduction gear, which mesh and are respectively fixed on the first gear shaft and the second gear shaft.

[0012] More preferably, the reduction gear pair three includes reduction gear five and reduction gear six, which mesh and are respectively fixed on gear shaft two and output shaft one, and reduction gear six is ​​located on the side of the transmission gear one away from the transmission gear two.

[0013] Preferably, sprocket one and sprocket two are fixed to one end of output shaft one located outside the housing and the other end of output shaft two located outside the housing cover, respectively.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention features both deceleration and multi-speed transmission functions, enabling power transmission to different actuators of the transplanter. It is small in size, lightweight, compact in structure, and highly stable. Specifically, the horizontally and parallelly arranged input shaft, output shaft one, and output shaft two form a rotating pair with the assembly consisting of a cover and a housing. The input shaft and output shaft one are connected by a reduction gear set located inside the housing. This allows the engine to transmit power to the input shaft, which then decelerates the power through the reduction gear set before transmitting it to output shaft one, thus achieving the deceleration function. Furthermore, output shaft two is connected to a sliding gear set via splines and spline grooves. When the clutch disengages, the shifting mechanism mounted on the housing drives the sliding gear set to translate, causing the shift gear three of the sliding gear set to mesh with the shift gear one on output shaft one, or the shift gear four of the sliding gear set to mesh with the shift gear two on output shaft one, or the shift gear three to mesh with the shift gear… Gear 1 and gear 4 do not mesh with gear 2. Engaging the clutch allows output shaft 2 to rotate at speed 1, speed 2, or remain stationary, thus achieving a speed change function. Output shaft 1 and output shaft 2 are connected to the transplanting mechanism and chassis of the transplanter, respectively, thereby transmitting power to different actuators of the transplanter. This invention integrates a reducer and gearbox, achieving both speed reduction and multi-speed shifting. By spatially staggering the input shaft, output shafts, and gear shafts of the reduction gear set within the housing, interference between shafts is avoided, optimizing housing space utilization, reducing the overall weight and volume, achieving a lightweight design, and making the transmission device more compact. Furthermore, the gear pair connection between the reduction and shifting components ensures high power transmission stability, reducing abnormal noise and vibration, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the machine.

[0038] The working principle of the variable speed gearbox transmission mechanism for a transplanter according to this utility model is as follows:

[0039] The housing 5 is installed on the frame of the transplanter. The clutch is connected to the drive shaft of the engine on the frame. Output shaft 11 is connected to the drive shaft of the transplanting mechanism of the transplanter via a chain drive mechanism. Output shaft 2 14 is connected to the chassis drive shaft of the transplanter via a chain drive mechanism. A shifting mechanism 16 (which can be a shift fork that forms a sliding pair with the groove opened in the housing 5 and whose head is embedded between the third and fourth gears, the groove being parallel to the second output shaft 2 14) is installed on the groove, so that the shifting mechanism is connected to the sleeve, driving the sleeve to move horizontally. When the engine drives the input shaft 6 to rotate via the belt drive mechanism, the input shaft 6 reduces speed and increases torque through the reduction gear set, transmitting power to the output shaft 11. The output shaft 11 transmits power to the transplanting mechanism via the chain drive mechanism, making the transplanting mechanism work. When the clutch is disengaged, the shifting mechanism drives the sleeve to move the entire sliding gear set 15 towards the third gear, so that the first gear 13 meshes with the third gear. Figure 13 As shown, when the clutch is engaged, output shaft 11 drives output shaft 14 to rotate at speed 1 via gear 13 and gear 3. Output shaft 14 transmits power to the chassis at speed 1 through the chain drive mechanism, causing the chassis to move the entire transplanter at a translational speed 1. When the clutch is disengaged, the shift mechanism drives the sleeve to move the entire sliding gear set 15 towards gear 4, so that gear 2 meshes with gear 4, as shown in the diagram. Figure 14 As shown, when the clutch is engaged, output shaft 11 drives output shaft 2 14 to rotate at speed 2 via gears 2 and 4. Output shaft 2 14 transmits power to the chassis via the chain drive mechanism at speed 2, causing the chassis to move the entire transplanter at a translational speed 2. When the clutch is disengaged, the shift mechanism drive sleeve drives the entire sliding gear set 15 to translate between gears 13 and 2. When gears 13 and 3 are not meshed, and gears 2 and 4 are not meshed, as follows... Figure 6 As shown, when the clutch is engaged, the output shaft 14 does not rotate and enters neutral. The chassis does not move, thus enabling the change of the translation speed of the transplanter chassis.
