Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balers, and in particular to a baling structure for a round baler with a half-gear and half-chain drive. Background Technology
[0002] Existing products on the market fall into two categories. One type features a full gear transmission structure (such as the Chinese patent, patent number "201710608768.0"), which boasts high strength, relatively long maintenance cycles, and stable operation. However, it suffers from significant overall weight, high transmission resistance, and poor fuel economy. Furthermore, its robust structure means that any disruption to the machine can affect the entire system, often requiring specialized lifting locations and disassembly for maintenance, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The other type features a full chain transmission structure (such as the Chinese patent, application number "201610628227.X"), which offers lightweight transmission and ease of maintenance. However, its overall operational stability is poor, particularly with the pressure roller assembly, which experiences frequent failures and damages due to high workloads. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model proposes a semi-gear, semi-chain driven round baler pressing structure, including a round baler body. The round baler body includes a traction unit, a walking unit, a picking unit, and a transmission unit. A movable box is provided at the front end of the round baler body, and a gear transmission box is provided at the rear end of the round baler body.
[0005] As an improvement, the moving box is driven by a chain structure.
[0006] As an improvement, a hydraulic system is provided on the side of the main body of the round baler.
[0007] Beneficial effects
[0008] Chain drive is used in the movable housing where the workload is relatively low. Compared to a full gear structure, this structure reduces power loss and overall machine weight, thus saving fuel. The separate support drive shaft and bearing structure for the pressing rollers makes machine maintenance more convenient, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Maintenance can be performed wherever the machine can be parked. Due to the reduced material costs of the semi-chain structure, it lowers the user's purchase cost, maintenance cost, and time cost, thus ensuring production and increasing revenue. Attached Figure Description
[0009] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of this utility model will become apparent and readily understood from the following description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0010] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the compression structure of a round baler with a half-gear and half-chain drive, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0012] The embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013] Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a baler pressing structure with half gear and half chain drive, including a baler body 1. The baler body 1 includes a traction unit 2, a walking unit 3, a picking unit 4 and a transmission unit 5. The front end of the baler body 1 is provided with a movable box 6, and the rear end of the baler body 1 is provided with a gear transmission box 7.
[0014] In this embodiment, the movable housing 6 is driven by a chain drive structure. Specifically, the movable housing 6 is equipped with a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a transmission chain surrounding them. The driving sprocket is connected to the output shaft of the transmission unit 5, while the driven sprocket is connected to the working components (such as feed rollers) within the movable housing 6. When the transmission unit 5 outputs power, the driving sprocket drives the transmission chain, which in turn drives the driven sprocket and the working components. Since the movable housing 6 is mainly responsible for relatively low-intensity processes such as the initial feeding of materials, chain drive can effectively reduce power loss. Compared to a full gear transmission structure, chain drive is lighter and has less friction loss during power transmission, thereby reducing the overall power requirement of the machine and helping to save fuel consumption.
[0015] The main body 1 of the round baler is equipped with a hydraulic system 8 on its side. The hydraulic system 8 includes components such as a hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pipelines, and control valves (not shown in the figure). The hydraulic system 8 is mainly used to control the lifting and swinging movements of the movable box 6 to adapt to different operating needs. For example, in transport mode, the movable box 6 can be raised through the hydraulic system 8 to reduce the overall length of the machine and facilitate transportation; in operating mode, the angle of the movable box 6 can be adjusted according to the terrain and crop conditions to ensure smooth feeding of materials.
[0016] The gear transmission box 7 contains a set of meshing gears (not shown) used to transmit the power from the transmission unit 5 to the rear working parts of the round baler body 1, such as the pressing rollers. Since the pressing operation at the rear end requires a large torque and stability, the use of gear transmission can ensure the reliability and accuracy of power transmission.
[0017] Furthermore, the pressing roller of this invention adopts a split support drive shaft and bearing structure. This structure makes the replacement and maintenance of the pressing roller more convenient. When maintenance or replacement of the pressing roller is required, only the relevant bolts and connectors need to be removed to remove the roller from the drive shaft, without the need to disassemble the entire transmission system. This design greatly reduces the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, allowing the machine to be maintained in a normal parking area without the need for a professional repair shop.
[0018] In summary, the baling machine pressing structure of this utility model, which features a semi-gear, semi-chain drive, utilizes chain drive in the relatively low-intensity movable housing 6 and gear drive in the higher-intensity rear end, forming a semi-gear, semi-chain transmission structure. This structural design ensures the machine's operational stability and reliability while effectively reducing overall power loss, weight, and material costs. Combined with the split-type support drive shaft and bearing structure of the pressing rollers, it further improves the ease of machine inspection and maintenance, reducing users' purchase, maintenance, and time costs, and contributing to production and revenue growth.
