Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically relating to a front-drive agricultural management machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, agricultural machinery of various structures has been used more and more widely in agricultural production activities.

[0003] Agricultural tillers are widely applicable to dry land, paddy fields, and orchards in plains, mountains, and hills. Existing agricultural tillers are broadly divided into two categories: two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Two-wheel drive riding-type agricultural tillers have lighter plowing force and shallower plowing depth, and the user must firmly grip the handles, relying entirely on manual steering. This results in excessive physical exertion and fatigue for the user during daily operation. Four-wheel drive agricultural tillers differ from two-wheel drive ones in that they have four wheels aligned and driven, offering better stability. However, the need for manual steering remains a major challenge. Four-wheel drive requires significantly more human effort than two-wheel drive agricultural tillers, limiting their usability and requiring strong users to operate.

[0004] In conclusion, how to provide an agricultural management machine that is easy to operate and saves labor has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a front-drive agricultural management machine, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a pair of front wheels 11 and a pair of rear wheels 12. The front wheels 11 include a ball cage 111 and a tire 112. The tire 112 is fitted on the ball cage 111. The frame 1 is provided with a steering mechanism 2, which can be used to control the steering of the ride-on agricultural management machine. In addition, the ride-on agricultural management machine also includes a hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 and a hydraulic steering device 3. The hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 is connected to the ball cage 111 of the pair of front wheels 11. The hydraulic steering device 3 is connected to the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 through a first oil pipe 5 and a second oil pipe 6.

[0039] Thus, by equipping the steering mechanism 2 with a hydraulic steering device 3, during the steering process, after receiving a mechanical steering signal command, the hydraulic steering device 3 converts the received mechanical steering signal into a hydraulic steering signal. This allows the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 to extend and retract, and the extension and retraction of the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 drives the ball cages of a pair of rear walking wheels 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the steering of the ride-on agricultural management machine. This greatly reduces the physical exertion of the operator and improves the flexibility and convenience of steering.

[0040] Preferably, the diameter of the rear walking wheel 12 is larger than the diameter of the front walking wheel 11, which allows the center of gravity of the agricultural management machine to shift forward, achieving better tillage results.

[0041] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with a seat 13, which is located on the side near the rear walking wheel 12. By providing the seat 13, an operator can sit on the seat 13 to operate the agricultural management machine.

[0042] Further, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 includes a hydraulic steering cylinder 41 and a connecting plate assembly 42. The connecting plate assembly 42 is located at both ends of the hydraulic steering cylinder and is connected to the ball cage 111. One end of the first oil pipe 5 and the second oil pipe 6 are respectively connected to the hydraulic steering gear 3, and the other end of the first oil pipe 5 and the second oil pipe 6 are connected to the hydraulic steering cylinder 41. Thus, after receiving a steering signal command, the hydraulic steering gear 3 controls the flow of oil in the first oil pipe 5 and the second oil pipe 6, causing the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 to extend or retract. When the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 extends, it pushes the connecting plate assembly 42 and the connected ball cage 111 to rotate, thereby driving the front wheels 11 to rotate, achieving steering of the ride-on agricultural management machine. Conversely, when the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 retracts, the connecting plate assembly 42 pulls the ball cage 111 to rotate in the opposite direction, also achieving steering operation.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the connecting plate assembly 42 includes a pair of connecting plates 421 arranged at intervals. One end of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 is inserted into the gap between the pair of connecting plates 421. One end of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 is hinged to the pair of connecting plates 421 via a first pin 422. The other end of the pair of connecting plates 421 is provided with a transition plate 423 connected to the ball cage 111. In this way, by inserting one end of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 into the gap between the pair of connecting plates 421, the structure is more compact and the space occupied is reduced. By extending or shortening the hydraulic steering cylinder 41, the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 drives the pair of connecting plates 421 to move. The connecting rod 421 drives the ball cage 121 to rotate via the transition plate 423, thereby realizing the steering of the ride-on agricultural management machine.

[0044] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the transition plate 423 includes a steering arm 4231 and a fixed plate 4232. The steering arm 4231 and the fixed plate 4232 are integrally formed. The fixed plate 4232 is connected to the ball cage 121. The steering arm 4231 is connected to a pair of connecting plates 421 via a second pin 424. This structure makes steering smoother and can withstand larger steering torques.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the steering mechanism 2 includes a steering column 21 mounted on a frame 1. A steering wheel 22 is mounted on the steering column 21. A hydraulic pump 23 is installed on the frame 1. A hydraulic steering gear 3 is mounted on the steering column 21, and the hydraulic pump 23 is connected to the hydraulic steering gear 3. Thus, by operating the steering wheel 22, the steering column 21 can be rotated, thereby converting the mechanical steering signal into a hydraulic steering signal through the hydraulic steering gear 3. The hydraulic pump 23 provides the necessary hydraulic power to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic steering gear 3.

[0046] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic steering gear 3 includes channel A 31, channel B 32, channel C 33, and channel D 34. Specifically, channel A 31 is connected to the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 via a first oil pipe 5; channel B 32 is connected to the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 via a second oil pipe 6; channel C 33 is connected to the hydraulic pump 23 via a third oil pipe 7; and channel D 34 is connected to the hydraulic pump 23 via a fourth oil pipe 8. Thus, the hydraulic pump 23, the hydraulic steering gear 3, and the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 are connected via channels A 31, B 32, C 33, and D 34 to achieve hydraulic system circulation and control. This design allows the hydraulic steering gear 3 to precisely control the extension and retraction of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41, thereby achieving accurate steering operation.

[0047] In this application, when the steering wheel 22 is turned to the left, the hydraulic steering unit 3 receives the steering signal and pumps the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 23 into the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 in the direction of A channel 31—first oil pipe 5—second oil pipe 6—B channel 32. The oil pressure pushes the left end of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 to extend and the right end to retract, thereby pushing the ball cages 111 of the pair of front travel wheels 11 to rotate synchronously to the left, realizing the left turn of the agricultural management machine. When the steering wheel 22 is turned to the right, the hydraulic steering unit 3 receives the steering signal and pumps the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 23 into the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 in the direction of B channel 32—second oil pipe 6—first oil pipe 5—A channel 31. The oil pressure pushes the right end of the hydraulic steering cylinder 41 to extend and the left end to retract, thereby pushing the ball cages 111 of the pair of front travel wheels 11 to rotate synchronously to the right, realizing the right turn of the agricultural management machine.

[0048] In this application, by installing the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 on the front travel wheel 11 and setting the hydraulic pump 23 on the side close to the front travel wheel 11, the length of the first oil pipe 5 and the second oil pipe 6 can be greatly shortened compared to installing the hydraulic steering cylinder assembly 4 on the rear travel wheel 12, and the layout management of the oil circuit is also facilitated.

[0049] Further, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with a housing 9, which is used to position the steering column 21. The housing 9 has a through hole for the steering column 21 to be inserted. This allows the steering column 21 to be stably installed on the frame 1 and facilitates steering operations. In addition, the design of the housing 9 also provides a certain degree of protection, preventing the steering column from being affected by external interference or damage.

[0050] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1As shown, a connector 14 is also provided on the rear side of the frame 1, which can be connected to external implements. Thus, by providing the connector 14, it can be used with rotary tillers, ditchers, weeders, fertilizer applicators, and other implements to perform various operations in fields, orchards, greenhouses, and other environments, further improving the practicality and versatility of the agricultural management machine. When using it, the operator can select and connect appropriate implements according to actual needs, easily handling various complex operating environments and improving operational efficiency and flexibility.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
