[0033] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 4 This section describes the specific structure of the aforementioned components of the electronically controlled lifter for tractors, as well as the connection relationships between these components.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting body 1 can be equipped with a pivotable lifting arm 14 to achieve lifting, neutralizing, lowering, or floating actions. Multiple oil passages can be provided inside the lifting body 1 for hydraulic oil flow, thereby reducing the number of external pipelines. The lifting cylinder 2 can be located inside the lifting body 1 to save overall machine layout space. The lifting cylinder 2 can be drivenly connected to the lifting arm 14. An electronic control distributor 3 is installed outside the lifting body 1. The electronic control distributor 3 can be connected to the lifting cylinder 2 via oil passages, enabling the electronic control distributor 3 to control the oil inlet and outlet of the lifting cylinder 2, thereby controlling the movement of the lifting arm 14. This configuration significantly saves overall machine layout space, reduces the number of pipelines, and thus lowers costs.

[0035] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting device body 1 may include a housing 11, a lifting shaft 12, and a rotating rocker arm 13. The housing 11 may have multiple oil passages integrally formed with it, thus replacing external piping to reduce costs and potential oil leaks. The lifting cylinder 2 may be installed inside the housing 11 and connected to the electronic control distributor 3 via the oil passages and piping. The lifting shaft 12 may pass through the housing 11. Specifically, both ends of the lifting shaft 12 may extend out of the housing 11, and the middle portion may be located inside the housing 11. The lifting shaft 12 is mounted to the housing 11 via bearings. Two lifting arms 14 may be splinedly connected to the two ends of the lifting shaft 12, respectively.

The rotating rocker arm 13 can be connected to the spline in the middle of the lifting shaft 12, and the rotating rocker arm 13 can be connected to the lifting cylinder 2 for transmission, so that the lifting cylinder 2 can drive the lifting shaft 12 to rotate through the rotating rocker arm 13, thereby driving the lifting arm 14 to move.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, splines can be provided at the middle and both ends of the lifting shaft 12, and the lifting arm 14 and the rotating rocker arm 13 can be driven to the lifting shaft 12 via the splines. Furthermore, a retaining spring 15 can be provided at the connection between the lifting arm 14 and the lifting shaft 12, thereby positioning the lifting arm 14. The rotating rocker arm 13 can include a connected annular portion and a rod-shaped portion. The annular portion can be fitted onto the spline at the middle of the lifting shaft 12, thus being driven to the lifting shaft 12. The rod-shaped portion can be driven to the lifting cylinder 2, thereby driving the lifting shaft 12 to rotate. The lifting arm 14 can move under the drive of the lifting shaft 12.

[0037] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting cylinder 2 may include a cylinder barrel 21, a cylinder piston 22, and a cylinder piston rod 23. The cylinder barrel 21 may be embedded inside the housing 11. The cylinder barrel 21 may be connected to an oil passage. The cylinder piston 22 is movably disposed inside the cylinder barrel 21, and the cylinder piston 22 can move axially along the cylinder barrel 21 under hydraulic pressure. The first end of the cylinder piston rod 23 may be connected to the cylinder piston 22, and the second end of the cylinder piston rod 23 may be pivotally connected to the rotating rocker arm 13. When the hydraulic cylinder piston 22 is driven to move, the cylinder piston 22 can drive the cylinder piston rod 23 to move, thereby driving the rotating rocker arm 13 to pivot.

[0038] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the first side portion (which can be the end portion in the width direction) of the housing 11 may be provided with a main body oil inlet 5 and a boss portion 4. The boss portion 4 may protrude from the surface of the housing 11 to facilitate the installation of the electronically controlled distributor 3. A connecting oil port 40 may be provided on the boss portion 4, which can communicate with an oil passage within the housing 11. The main body oil inlet 5 is provided on the housing 11 for communication with an oil inlet pipeline. The main body oil inlet 5 can be connected to the connecting oil port 40 via an oil passage.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the electronically controlled distributor 3 can be mounted to the boss portion 4 of the housing 11 by fixing bolts 8. The electronically controlled distributor 3 may be provided with a distributor inlet 31 on the side near the boss portion 4. The distributor inlet 31 can be connected to the connecting oil port 40, so that hydraulic oil can be delivered to the electronically controlled distributor 3.

[0040] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second side (which can be the end in the length direction) of the housing 11 may be provided with a hydraulic cylinder inlet 6. The electronically controlled distributor 3 may be provided with a distributor outlet 33, which can be connected to the hydraulic cylinder inlet 6 through a pipeline to output hydraulic oil from the electronically controlled distributor 3 to the hydraulic cylinder inlet 6. The hydraulic cylinder inlet 6 can be connected to the large cavity of the hydraulic cylinder barrel 21 through an oil passage to supply oil to the lifting cylinder 2.

[0041] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, an oil tank may also be provided inside the housing 11. A first oil return port 41 may also be provided on the boss portion 4. The first oil return port 41 can be connected to the oil tank via an oil passage. The electronically controlled distributor 3 may have a first distributor oil return port 30 on its side near the boss portion 4, and the first distributor oil return port 30 can connect with the first oil return port 41. This arrangement allows the hydraulic oil flowing back from the cylinder barrel 21 to the electronically controlled distributor 3 to circulate through the first distributor oil return port 30 and the first oil return port 41 to the oil tank for storage.

[0042] Further optimized, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a second oil return port 42 may be provided on the boss portion 4. The second oil return port 42 can be connected to the oil tank inside the housing 11 via an oil passage. The electronically controlled distributor 3 may be provided with a second distributor oil return port 32 on its side near the boss portion 4, and the second distributor oil return port 32 can be connected to the second oil return port 42. This arrangement allows the hydraulic oil flowing from the main body oil inlet 5 to the electronically controlled distributor 3 to flow into the oil tank for storage through the second distributor oil return port 32 and the second oil return port 42.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment, the electronically controlled distributor 3 may also be provided with an oil port sealing ring 7 at the connection point with the boss portion 4 to prevent hydraulic oil leakage. Specifically, the electronically controlled distributor 3 may be provided with annular grooves at the first distributor return port 30, the distributor inlet port 31, and the second distributor return port 32, and the oil port sealing ring 7 may be installed in the annular groove to achieve a sealing function.

[0044] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a tractor is provided, the tractor including the electrically controlled lifting device for a tractor as described above.

[0045] During operation, when the lifting arm 14 performs a lifting action, hydraulic oil enters the lifting body 1 from the main body inlet 5 and flows to the electronically controlled distributor 3 through the connecting inlet 40 and the distributor inlet 31. Subsequently, the oil in the electronically controlled distributor 3 flows out from the distributor outlet 33 and is transported through a pipeline to the cylinder inlet 6, and finally delivered to the large cavity of the cylinder barrel 21. After the hydraulic oil enters the lifting cylinder 2, the cylinder piston 22 will move axially along the cylinder barrel 21 under the action of hydraulic pressure. The cylinder piston 22 can drive the cylinder piston rod 23 to move, thereby driving the rotating rocker arm 13 and the lifting arm 14 to perform the lifting action.

[0046] When the lifting arm 14 is in the neutral position (i.e., stationary), the oil in the cylinder barrel 21 is not flowing. The oil at the main oil inlet 5 flows to the electronically controlled distributor 3 through the connecting oil inlet 40 and the distributor oil inlet 31. Then, the oil in the electronically controlled distributor 3 flows to the oil tank for storage through the second distributor return oil inlet 32 ​​and the second return oil inlet 42.

[0047] When the lifting arm 14 descends or floats, the cylinder piston 22 retracts under load. The oil in the large chamber of the cylinder barrel 21 flows through the cylinder inlet 6 to the distributor outlet 33 and enters the electronically controlled distributor 3. It then flows through the first distributor return port 30 and the first return port 41 to the oil tank for storage. The oil at the main body inlet 5 flows through the connecting port 40 and the distributor inlet 31 to the electronically controlled distributor 3, and then through the second distributor return port 32 and the second return port 42 to the oil tank for storage.

[0048] In this embodiment, the tractor's electronically controlled lifting device can control the flow of hydraulic oil via the electronically controlled distributor 3, thereby controlling the movement of the lifting cylinder 2 to achieve lifting and lowering actions of the lifting arm 14. The lifting cylinder 2 is located inside the lifting device body 1, and the oil passages are also located within the lifting device body 1. This saves space in the overall machine layout and reduces the number of pipes, thus lowering costs and reducing potential oil leaks.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application.
