[0002] With societal development, agricultural operations are increasingly mechanized, especially in large-scale farming where mechanization is highly prevalent. However, in hilly and mountainous areas, where fields are small and scattered, and roads are generally narrow and steep, high-horsepower tracked rotary tillers struggle to adapt. In managing cash crops such as vegetable greenhouses and orchards, where row spacing is limited, users typically use mini-tillers, but operating them is physically demanding. Furthermore, existing tracked rotary tillers require extensive disassembly and repair of the drive gearbox, necessitating the disassembly of numerous components.

[0003] Meanwhile, the control levers of current tracked rotary tillers, including gear shift levers and clutch levers, all require several conversion mechanisms to reach the cab. The more mechanisms involved, the higher the manufacturing cost and the greater the probability of malfunctions.

[0004] Therefore, how to simplify the structure of tracked rotary tillers, make them smaller, more flexible in operation, provide a better driving experience, and make them easier to maintain has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0021] Example: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A small self-propelled tracked rotary tiller includes a frame 1, an engine 2, a PTO transmission box 3, a travel gearbox 4, a rear rotary tiller assembly, a tracked wheel assembly 5, a seat 6, and a control mechanism. The seat 6 is located on the upper front side of the frame; the rear rotary tiller assembly is connected to the rear end of the frame 1 via a implement connecting frame.

[0022] The PTO transmission box 3 is located below the engine 2 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The drive gearbox 4 is located below the seat 6, and the seat 6 is connected to the cover of the drive gearbox 4 via a seat bracket. In implementation, a support frame is provided on the cover of the drive gearbox 4 to support the seat bracket; the front end of the seat bracket is rotatably connected to the front end of the cover of the drive gearbox 4; the front end of the seat bracket is rotatably connected to the support frame via a pin, thus allowing the seat 6 to be flipped forward, facilitating maintenance of the drive gearbox 4. In specific implementation, to improve the stability of the seat 6, the seat bracket has a support plate with several positioning holes at the front and rear ends. Limiting pins are provided on the underside of the seat 6 corresponding to the positions of each positioning hole. The seat 6 is connected to the seat bracket by inserting a connecting pin into the positioning hole, making the seat 6 easy and quick to install and remove, and preventing the seat 6 from sliding or flipping. By adopting this solution, the PTO transmission box 3 and the walking gearbox 4 are distributed front and rear, respectively, and located under the engine 2 and the seat 6. The overall distribution is more reasonable, which can greatly reduce the height and length of the entire rotary tiller, thereby reducing the overall volume of the rotary tiller.

[0023] It also includes a multi-way control valve located between the seat 6 and the engine 2, and fixedly connected to the frame 1 via a control valve bracket. This multi-way control valve is used to control the lifting and steering of the implement. It also includes a battery located below the multi-way control valve and fixedly connected to the frame 1.

[0024] The engine 2 is located between the seat 6 and the rear rotary tiller assembly, and is fixedly connected to the frame 1 via an engine 2 bracket. A protective bar 12 is provided around the upper part of the engine 2, at least around the front and sides of the engine 2, and connected to the frame 1 via several uprights; this effectively protects the engine 2, as well as the seat 6 and the driver. In implementation, the engine 2 also includes a fuel tank 13, which is mounted on the protective bar 12 on one side of the engine 2. This separate arrangement of the fuel tank 13 from the engine 2 reduces vibration of the fuel tank 13 and improves heat dissipation of the engine 2.

[0025] The output shaft of the engine 2 is connected to a drive pulley 7, which is either a double-groove pulley or a multi-groove pulley. The input shaft of the PTO transmission box and the input shaft of the travel gearbox 4 are each connected to a driven pulley 8. A first transmission belt 9 is wound around the driven pulley 8 on the input shaft of the PTO transmission box and the drive pulley 7, and a second transmission belt 10 is wound around the driven pulley 8 on the input shaft of the travel gearbox 4. The output shaft of the PTO transmission box is connected to the rear rotary tiller assembly, and the two output half-shafts of the travel gearbox 4 are connected to the drive wheels 11 of the tracked wheel assembly 5. In this design, the track of the tracked wheel assembly 5 adopts a trapezoidal track structure, and the drive wheels 11 of the tracked wheel assembly 5 are located close to the front end of the frame 1, which further reduces the height and volume of the entire tracked rotary tiller.

[0026] The control mechanism includes multiple levers, with their operating ends distributed on both sides of the seat 6. The control mechanism includes a travel clutch lever, a tool clutch lever, a travel gearbox 4-speed adjustment lever, a tool lifting lever, a start / stop switch, a throttle switch, and a power switch. The travel clutch lever, tool clutch lever, start / stop switch, throttle switch, and power switch are located on one side of the seat 6, while the travel gearbox 4-speed adjustment lever and the tool lifting lever are located on the other side of the seat 6.

[0027] This design, through a reasonable layout, makes the rotary tiller smaller in overall size, suitable for tillage in various environments, and more convenient to drive and operate; in addition, the PTO transmission box 3 and the travel gearbox 4 are set up separately at the front and rear, which makes it easier to maintain later; at the same time, the control levers are distributed on both sides of the seat 6, especially the gear adjustment control lever which directly acts on the gearbox, making the mechanism simple and reliable, improving the driving experience, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and not to limit the technical solutions. Those skilled in the art should understand that any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this utility model that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this technical solution should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
