Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0035] In response to the problems existing in the current technology, combined with Figure 1-5 A digital power shift control valve for agricultural machinery, used for shifting gears by inserting a movable lever 4 into the pilot valve core of the follower cylinder of a continuously variable transmission, comprising:
[0036] Drive mechanism 1, changeover mechanism 2, valve stem 3, lever 4, and first housing 5;
[0037] The drive mechanism 1 and the change mechanism 2 are located at one end of the first housing 5. The valve stem 3 is located inside the first housing 5 and can slide horizontally. The lever 4 is vertically and detachably fixed to the valve stem 3. The first housing 5 is provided with a first groove 6 located on the outside of the lever 4. The valve stem 3 can slide within the first groove 6.
[0038] The drive mechanism 1 is connected to the valve stem 3 via a variable cable, so that the valve stem 3 drives the lever 4 to slide horizontally.
[0039] Specifically, in some embodiments, a controller 28 connected to the drive mechanism 1 is also included. The controller 28 obtains a shift signal to control the rotation of the drive mechanism 1, and then the valve stem 3 is translated through the changeover mechanism 2. The translation of the valve stem 3 drives the pilot valve core of the continuously variable transmission's follower cylinder to move to perform gear shifting. For example, when the lever 4 moves more than 1 mm to the left, the forward gear engages and the vehicle (agricultural machinery) begins to move forward. The continuously variable gear increment is proportional to the distance the lever 4 moves to the left. When the lever 4 moves more than 1 mm to the right, the reverse gear engages and the vehicle (agricultural machinery) begins to reverse. The continuously variable gear increment is proportional to the distance the lever 4 moves to the right.
[0040] In some specific embodiments, a second outer shell 7 is fixed to one end of the first outer shell 5 by a first bolt, and a third outer shell 8 is fixed to the other end of the first outer shell 5 by a second bolt. The valve stem 3 can extend through the first outer shell 5 to the second outer shell 7 and the third outer shell 8 respectively.
[0041] The second outer casing 7 has a second groove 9 inside, and a first spring 10 is connected to the outer side of one end of the valve stem 3. The other end of the first spring 10 is connected to one end of the second groove 9.
[0042] The third outer casing 8 is provided with a third groove 12, and a second spring 11 is connected to the outer side of the other end of the valve stem 3. The other end of the second spring 11 is connected to one end of the third groove 12 through a limiting member.
[0043] Specifically, when the drive mechanism 1 is set to the neutral position, due to the existence of the safety clearance, the first spring 10 and the second spring 11 enable the lever 4 to be in the center position within the first groove 6.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, the limiting member includes a first screw 13, a rotating ring 14, and a first nut 15;
[0045] The first screw 13 passes through one side wall of the third housing 8 by thread. The first nut 15 is located on the outside of the third housing 8 and is threaded onto the outside of the first screw 13. The rotating ring 14 is located inside the third housing 8 and is fixed to the outside of the first screw 13. One end of the second spring 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 14.
[0046] Specifically, in neutral, the lever 4 needs to be in the middle of the first groove 6. However, due to the initial assembly or long-term use, it is easy to become out of center. Therefore, by loosening the first nut 15 and turning the first screw 13 (with an internal hexagonal groove) to rotate, the first screw 13 will slide and move, which will cause the rotating ring 14 to rotate and move simultaneously. This will cause the first spring 10 and the second spring 11 to be squeezed or stretched. With the existence of a safety gap, the horizontal movement position of the lever 4 can be finely adjusted.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, the valve stem 3 is hollow inside, and air holes 19 are provided at both ends and the middle position to connect the first groove 6, the second groove 9 and the third groove 12.
[0048] Specifically, the presence of the vent 19 prevents pressure imbalances from occurring when the valve stem 3 moves.
[0049] In some specific embodiments, the drive mechanism 1 includes a motor housing 17 and a stepper motor 18;
[0050] The motor housing 17 is fixed to one side of the second housing 7 and is in communication with the second housing 7;
[0051] The stepper motor 18 is fixed inside the motor housing 17, and the output end of the stepper motor 18 is connected to the cable changer 2.
[0052] Specifically, the rotation of the stepper motor 18, in conjunction with the transformation mechanism, drives the valve stem 3 to move horizontally.
[0053] In some specific embodiments, the reversing mechanism 2 includes a threaded sleeve 16 and a second screw 29;
[0054] The output end of the stepper motor 18 is connected to the threaded sleeve 16. The second screw 29 is threaded inside the threaded sleeve 16. One end of the second screw 29 is connected to a sliding member 20. One end of the valve stem 3 is connected to a fixing block 21. The sliding member 20 is provided with a limiting groove 22 for placing the fixing block 21. The limiting groove 22 is provided with a safety gap that allows the fixing block to slide within the limiting groove.
[0055] Specifically, the stepper motor 18 can drive the threaded sleeve 16 to rotate. Since the second screw 29 does not rotate, the rotation of the threaded sleeve 16 causes the second screw 29 to move horizontally. The movement of the second screw 29 drives the sliding member 20 to move, which in turn drives the fixed block 21 in the limiting groove 22 to slide horizontally, thereby driving the valve stem 3 to move.
[0056] The safety clearance provides redundancy in movement control, preventing overly sensitive operation.
[0057] In some specific embodiments, a limiting shell 23 is sleeved on the outer side of the slider 20, the two sides of the slider 20 are planar structures, and the limiting shell 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the slider 20;
[0058] The outer side of the limiting housing 23 is connected to the motor housing 17 via a support member.
[0059] Specifically, it facilitates the sliding member 20 to slide stably and without rotation within the limiting housing 23.
[0060] In some specific embodiments, the upper end of the lever 4 is connected to a fixing rod 24, which is inserted through the bottom of the valve stem 3 and extends through the top of the valve stem 3. A bearing 25 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 24, and the outer ring of the bearing 25 abuts against the valve stem 3 through a washer. A second nut 30 is threaded on the outside of the fixing rod 24 and abuts against the inner ring of the bearing 25.
[0061] Specifically, it facilitates the installation and removal of the lever 4 by unscrewing the second nut 30, making it easy to remove the bearing 25 and remove the lever 4 from the lower part of the valve stem 3.
[0062] In some specific embodiments, the upper end of the first housing 5 is provided with an operation port 26, and the upper end of the first housing 5 is fixed with a cover plate 27 for closing the operation port 26 by bolts.
[0063] Specifically, it facilitates the installation and removal of the lever 4 through the operating port 26 when the cover plate 27 is removed.
[0064] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
