[0002] The tractor braking system is a core component ensuring the safe operation of agricultural machinery, and its performance directly affects operational safety and equipment reliability. Currently, widely used hydraulic braking systems primarily use a plunger pump to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, and then deliver hydraulic oil to the wheel-side brakes via the master cylinder to complete the braking operation. Traditional tractor brakes rely on hydraulic oil directly acting on the friction pads to generate braking torque; this design places high demands on the output pressure of the brake pump.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a brake cylinder for tractors to solve the problem of high output pressure requirements for brake pumps. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a brake cylinder for a tractor and a tractor, which effectively solves the problem that the existing hydraulic braking system has high requirements for the output pressure of the brake pump due to its structural design.
[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a brake cylinder for a tractor is provided, wherein the brake cylinder includes a housing, a hydraulic braking assembly disposed inside the housing, and a pressure plate lever. The hydraulic braking assembly includes a brake piston, a brake push rod, and a hydraulic brake rocker arm. A hydraulic oil passage is provided at the end of the housing, and the brake piston is disposed in the hydraulic oil passage. The brake piston drives the hydraulic brake rocker arm to rotate through the brake push rod, and the hydraulic brake rocker arm drives the pressure plate lever to move so that the brake pressure plate of the tractor is twisted.
[0006] Preferably, the tractor brake cylinder further includes a manual brake rocker arm, and the hydraulic braking assembly further includes a brake cylinder shaft. One end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm is disposed on the brake cylinder shaft, the brake cylinder shaft passes through the housing, and the manual brake rocker arm is disposed at the end of the brake cylinder shaft located outside the housing.

[0028] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a brake cylinder for a tractor is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this tractor brake cylinder is used in a tractor to enable the tractor's braking system to brake. The tractor brake cylinder includes a housing 1, a hydraulic braking assembly, and a pressure plate lever 2.
[0029] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 5 This section describes the detailed structure of the tractor's brake cylinder housing 1, hydraulic brake assembly, and pressure plate lever 2.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, housing 1 is the outer shell of the tractor's brake cylinder, used to house the hydraulic braking assembly and pressure plate lever 2, and to receive hydraulic oil, causing the pressure plate lever 2 to move. The hydraulic braking assembly is located inside housing 1. This hydraulic braking assembly allows the brake oil to not act directly on the brake pressure plate (not shown; the brake pressure plate is a component in the existing tractor braking system, and those skilled in the art will know its structure, so it will not be described in detail here), but rather indirectly controlled through the hydraulic braking assembly. This structure effectively reduces the pressure in the braking system.
[0031] Specifically, the hydraulic braking assembly includes a brake piston 3, a brake push rod 4, and a hydraulic brake rocker arm 5. A hydraulic oil passage is provided at the end of the housing 1 for the inflow of hydraulic oil. The brake piston 3 is disposed within the hydraulic oil passage. A protrusion is provided at the center of the end of the brake piston 3 near the hydraulic oil passage, abutting against the hydraulic oil passage to create a gap for hydraulic oil flow between the end of the brake piston 3 near the hydraulic oil passage and the hydraulic oil passage. A first recess is provided at the end of the brake piston 3 opposite to the hydraulic oil passage for the brake push rod 4 to abut against. The end of the brake push rod 4 is disposed inside this first recess. When the brake piston 3 is pushed towards the hydraulic oil passage by the hydraulic oil... Figure 4When the brake lever 4 moves to the right, its end abuts against the brake piston 3, thus the brake lever 4 is pushed towards the right by the brake piston 3. Figure 4 Move to the right in the middle.
[0032] Furthermore, the first end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 is pivotally disposed inside the housing 1, and the second end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 forms a second recess, with the end of the brake push rod 4 facing away from the brake piston 3 disposed inside the second recess. When the brake push rod 4 is directed towards the brake piston 3... Figure 4 When the right side is pushed, the second end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 is pushed by a force, causing the first end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 to pivot around the rotation inside the housing 1, thereby causing the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 to move towards... Figure 4 The pressure plate lever 2 moves upwards. Since the pressure plate lever 2 is located in the middle of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5, it will move upwards along with the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5. Figure 4 The brake moves upward, and then the brake pressure plate is twisted under the action of the pressure plate lever 2. When the brake pressure plate is twisted, the steel ball deviates from the ball groove and generates pressure. The brake friction pads are pressed together under the pressure to achieve parking brake.
[0033] This tractor brake cylinder, through the cooperation of housing 1, hydraulic braking components, and pressure plate lever 2, allows the brake fluid to act indirectly on the brake pressure plate rather than directly on it. This effectively reduces the pressure on the braking system and extends its service life. The tractor brake cylinder has a compact overall structure and achieves tractor braking through mechanical coordination, resulting in low cost and high reliability.
[0034] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the tractor brake cylinder further includes a manual brake rocker arm 6, thus the tractor brake cylinder includes two braking modes: hydraulic braking and manual braking. Hydraulic braking corresponds to the tractor's foot pedal, and manual braking corresponds to the tractor's handbrake. Specifically, the hydraulic braking assembly may also include a brake cylinder shaft 7. One end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 is disposed on the brake cylinder shaft 7, which passes through the housing 1. The manual brake rocker arm 6 is disposed at the end of the brake cylinder shaft 7 located outside the housing 1. When the user uses the manual brake, the manual brake rocker arm 6 is rotated via, for example, the handbrake structure of a tractor. The manual brake rocker arm 6 rotates the brake cylinder shaft 7, which in turn rotates the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5, thereby causing the pressure plate lever 2 to move towards... Figure 4 The upward movement of the tractor enables braking.
[0035] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 is sleeved on the brake cylinder shaft 7, and the end of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 is fixedly connected to the brake cylinder shaft 7 through the first connecting pin 9.
[0036] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the manual brake rocker arm 6 is sleeved on the brake cylinder shaft 7, and the end of the manual brake rocker arm 6 is fixedly connected to the brake cylinder shaft 7 via a second connecting pin 10. Thus, when braking is achieved, the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5, the manual brake rocker arm 6, and the brake cylinder shaft 7 move together.
[0037] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 has a through hole in its middle for the pressure plate tie rod 2 to pass through. The pressure plate tie rod 2 is installed in the through hole.
[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the pressure plate pull rod 2 is disposed in the through hole through a connecting clamping assembly. The connecting clamping assembly may include a ball sleeve 801, a connecting nut 802, and a locking nut 803. The ball sleeve 801, the connecting nut 802, and the locking nut 803 are sequentially sleeved on the pressure plate pull rod 2, and the pressure plate pull rod 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5.
[0039] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 may include a main body 101 and an upper shell 102 that are detachably connected to each other. The main body 101 and the upper shell 102 are detachably connected by connecting screws 103. Multiple connecting screws 103 are respectively disposed at both ends of the main body 101 and the upper shell 102 to strengthen the fixation. Furthermore, the upper shell 102 has a displacement space 104 inside for the movement of the pressure plate pull rod 2. The displacement space 104 ensures that the interior of the housing 1 has sufficient space for the pressure plate pull rod 2 to move.
[0040] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the pressure plate tie rod 2 is disposed in the displacement space 104, and the other end of the pressure plate tie rod 2 is located outside the main body 101. The connecting end of the pressure plate tie rod 2 is located outside the main body 101 so that it can be connected to other components in the tractor's braking system.
[0041] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the hydraulic oil passage has an oil inlet 105, an exhaust port 106 and a sensor interface 107 that are separated from each other, and one end of the brake piston 3 simultaneously abuts against the three interfaces: the oil inlet 105, the exhaust port 106 and the sensor interface 107.
[0042] The operating principle of the tractor's brake cylinder is as follows: When hydraulic braking is required, brake hydraulic oil enters the brake cylinder through the oil inlet 105 of the housing 1. Under the action of oil pressure, the brake piston 3 moves towards... Figure 4 As the brake piston moves to the right, the brake push rod 4 follows the brake piston 3 toward... Figure 4 The movement to the right causes the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 to rotate around the brake cylinder shaft 7, so that the pressure plate lever 2 moves in the same direction as the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5. Figure 4 The brake disc moves upward, and under the action of the pressure plate lever 2, the brake disc twists. When the brake disc twists, the steel balls deviate from the ball grooves, generating pressure. The brake friction pads are pressed together under the pressure, achieving parking brake. When manual braking is required, the user drives the manual brake rocker arm 6 to rotate through, for example, the handbrake mechanism of a tractor. The manual brake rocker arm 6 drives the brake cylinder shaft 7 to rotate, and the brake cylinder shaft 7 drives the hydraulic brake rocker arm 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the pressure plate lever 2 to move upward. Figure 4 The brake moves upward, and the brake pressure plate is twisted under the action of the pressure plate lever 2. When the brake pressure plate is twisted, the steel ball deviates from the ball groove and generates pressure. The brake friction pads are pressed together under the pressure to achieve parking brake.
[0043] This tractor brake cylinder, through the cooperation of its housing, hydraulic braking components, and pressure plate linkage, allows the brake fluid to act indirectly on the brake pressure plate rather than directly on it. This effectively reduces the pressure on the braking system and extends its service life. The tractor brake cylinder has a compact overall structure and achieves tractor braking through mechanical coordination, resulting in low cost and high reliability.
[0044] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a tractor is provided, the tractor including the tractor brake cylinder as described above.
