Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery transmission mechanism, and specifically refers to an agricultural machinery hydraulic power drive axle assembly. Background technology:
[0002] The drive axle assembly of agricultural machinery (such as tractors and harvesters) is the core component of its transmission system. Traditional agricultural machinery drive axle assemblies use internal combustion engines as the power source and rely on complex mechanical gearboxes to achieve gear shifting and reverse functions. However, this method is complex and demands high skill from the driver, as complex field operating conditions require frequent switching of speed and torque to adapt to different loads. Traditional gear shifting is laborious and requires the driver to have extensive experience to judge and select the optimal gear; otherwise, it can easily cause engine stalling or insufficient power, increasing the driver's workload and affecting the quality of work. Summary of the Invention:
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic power drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery, which uses a hydraulic motor as a power source to achieve stepless speed change. Furthermore, by integrating and optimizing the mechanical transmission structure, the output torque of the hydraulic motor is reasonably amplified and the transmission ratio range is expanded to meet the high torque output requirements of low speed and heavy load.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] In the above-mentioned agricultural machinery hydraulic power drive axle assembly, the hydraulic motor and the variable pump are separate structures, with the hydraulic motor fixed on the housing and the variable pump located outside the housing;
[0007] Alternatively, the hydraulic motor and the variable pump may be an integrated structure fixed on the housing, with an HST input shaft rotatably mounted on the housing. One end of the HST input shaft extends out of the housing and is fitted with a drive pulley, while the other end of the HST input shaft extends out of the housing and is connected to the input shaft of the variable pump.

[0011] In the aforementioned agricultural machinery hydraulic power drive axle assembly, a left output shaft and a right output shaft located on the same axis are rotatably connected to the housing. The opposite ends of the left and right output shafts extend outward from the housing and are respectively connected to the left and right drive wheels. The left and right half-shafts of the differential assembly are rotatably connected to the housing and fitted with output drive gears. The opposite ends of the left and right output shafts are fitted with output driven gears that mesh with the corresponding output drive gears.
[0012] In the above-mentioned hydraulic power drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery, a four-shaft drive shaft and a four-drive drive shaft are rotatably connected to the housing.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —2:
[0021] Example 1:
[0022] A hydraulic power drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery includes a power input shaft 2, a first transmission shaft 3, a second transmission shaft 4, and a third transmission shaft 5 rotatably fitted on a housing 1. One end of the power input shaft 2 extends out of the housing 1 and is driven by the output end of a hydraulic motor 6. A variable pump 7, driven by the hydraulic motor 6, is driven by an external agricultural machinery engine. The power input shaft 2 is driven by the first transmission shaft 3 through a forward gear transmission assembly. The first transmission shaft 3 is driven by the second transmission shaft 4 through a constant mesh gear set. The second transmission shaft 4 is driven by the third transmission shaft 5 through a high / low gear transmission assembly. A central transmission gear 9 is fixedly fitted on the third transmission shaft 5 and meshes with the housing of a differential assembly 8. The left and right half-shafts of the differential assembly 8 are driven by the left drive wheel 10 and the right drive wheel 11 located outside the housing 1, respectively.
[0023] In this embodiment, the hydraulic motor 6 and the variable pump 7 are separate structures. The hydraulic motor 6 is fixed on the housing 1, while the variable pump 7 is located outside the housing 1 and is directly connected to the agricultural machinery engine.
[0024] This utility model uses a hydraulic motor 6 as a power source, which can realize stepless speed change. In order to avoid the hydraulic components having extremely large displacement and pressure due to high torque demand, the mechanical transmission structure is integrated and optimized to reasonably amplify the output torque of the hydraulic motor 6 and expand the transmission speed ratio range, so as to meet the high torque output demand of low speed and heavy load.
[0025] The forward gear transmission assembly can have three or four gears in its power transmission path. In this embodiment, the specific number of gears and transmission structure of the forward gear transmission assembly are as follows: The forward gear transmission assembly includes a first gear drive gear 14 and a second gear drive gear 15 rotatably mounted on the power input shaft 2. A first gear driven gear 16 meshing with the first gear drive gear 14 and a second gear driven gear 17 meshing with the second gear drive gear 15 are fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 3. The power input shaft 2 is connected to the first gear drive gear 14 or the second gear drive gear 15 through a first-second gear meshing sleeve or a synchronizer 18 to rotate synchronously.
[0026] In order to stabilize transmission and effectively amplify the output torque of hydraulic motor 6 under limited gear engagement, the constant mesh gear set includes a constant mesh driving gear 19 fixedly sleeved on the first transmission shaft 3, and a constant mesh driven gear 20 meshing with the constant mesh driving gear 19 is sleeved on the second transmission shaft 4.
[0027] The specific structure of the high and low speed transmission assembly is as follows: the high and low speed transmission assembly includes a high-speed drive gear 21 and a low-speed drive gear 22 fixedly sleeved on the transmission shaft 4. The transmission shaft 5 is rotatably fitted with a high-speed driven gear 23 that meshes with the high-speed drive gear 21 and a low-speed driven gear 24 that meshes with the low-speed drive gear 22. The transmission shaft 5 is connected to the high-speed driven gear 23 or the low-speed driven gear 24 through a high and low gear meshing sleeve or a synchronizer 25 to rotate synchronously. That is, the high and low speed gears are combined with multiple forward gears to obtain a transmission gear range that doubles in number and greatly expands the speed ratio range.
[0028] Furthermore, the transmission structure specifically adopted between the left and right half-shafts of the differential assembly 8 and the left drive wheel 10 and right drive wheel 11 is as follows: a left output shaft 26 and a right output shaft 27 located on the same axis are rotatably connected to the housing 1. The opposite ends of the left output shaft 26 and the right output shaft 27 extend outward from the housing 1 and are respectively connected to the left drive wheel 10 and the right drive wheel 11. The left and right half-shafts of the differential assembly 8 are rotatably connected to the housing 1 and are fitted with output drive gears 28. The opposite ends of the left output shaft 26 and the right output shaft 27 are fitted with output driven gears 29 that mesh with the corresponding output drive gears 28.
[0029] Considering that some agricultural machinery requires four-wheel drive, this product designs the drive axle assembly as a split-drive system, allowing for switchable power transmission paths of both four-wheel drive and standalone front drive. Specifically, a four-shaft drive shaft 30 and a four-wheel drive shaft 31 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. A drive gear 32 is fixedly mounted on the three-shaft drive shaft 5, and a driven gear 33 meshing with the drive gear 32 is rotatably mounted on the four-shaft drive shaft 30. The four-shaft drive shaft 30 engages with the driven gear 33 via a four-wheel drive engagement sleeve or a synchronizer 34 to achieve synchronous rotation between the three-shaft drive shaft 5 and the four-shaft drive shaft 30. The four-wheel drive shaft 31 is connected to the four-shaft drive shaft 30, and their axes are perpendicular. Furthermore, a four-wheel drive drive bevel gear 35 is fixedly mounted on the four-shaft drive shaft 30, and a four-wheel drive driven bevel gear 36 meshing with the drive gear 35 is fixedly mounted on the inner end of the four-wheel drive shaft 31. The outer end of the four-wheel drive shaft 31 extends beyond the housing 1 and is connected to an external rear drive mechanism.
[0030] In order to achieve the purpose of transmission braking of the drive axle, one end of the transmission three shafts 5 extends out of the housing 1 and is connected to a brake 37 that is fixedly engaged with the housing 1 or the outside.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] This embodiment is basically the same in structure as Embodiment 1 above, with the main difference being that the hydraulic motor 6 and the variable pump 7 are an integrated structure fixed to the housing 1. An HST input shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. One end of the HST input shaft 12 extends out of the housing 1 and is fitted with a transmission pulley 13. The other end of the HST input shaft 12 extends out of the housing 1 and is connected to the input shaft of the variable pump 7. In other words, in this embodiment, the hydraulic motor 6 and the variable pump 7 are an integrated assembly structure, directly fixed to the housing 1, and connected to an external agricultural machinery engine via the HST input shaft 12 and the transmission pulley 13.
[0033] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
