Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a widened front drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery with large ridge spacing. Background Technology
[0002] Tractors are indispensable power machinery in modern agriculture, and the performance of their drive axles directly affects the traction, maneuverability, and operational efficiency of the entire machine. In Northeast China, the 1.3-meter wide ridge double-row planting pattern for corn requires a tractor wheel track of at least 2600 mm to ensure stable operation. However, the wheel spokes of traditional tractor drive axles are relatively narrow, with a maximum width of only 1924 mm, which cannot meet the requirements for wide ridge spacing. If tractors with existing wheel tracks are forced to operate on wide ridges, the tires will not align with the ridges, affecting operational accuracy and efficiency, and even causing crop damage. Currently, users often adjust the wheel track by adding wheel track extension devices or replacing the axle with a longer one, but these methods are complex in structure, costly, and may affect the strength of the axle frame and steering performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a widened front drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery with large ridge spacing. By adopting a three-section housing structure consisting of a central housing and two widened housings, the wheel pitch can be quickly adjusted by replacing the widened housings to meet the needs of large ridge spacing operations of 2600 mm and above.
[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, this utility model provides a widened front drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery with large ridge spacing, comprising: a front axle housing, a central reducer assembly installed inside the front axle housing, the front axle housing including a middle housing and two widened housings, the two widened housings being connected to both ends of the middle housing via a detachable connection structure, a steering knuckle housing being installed on the outer side of the widened housing, a wheel hub being installed on the outer side of the steering knuckle housing, the wheel hub being drive-connected to the central reducer assembly, the middle housing and the two widened housings together forming a three-section housing structure, the overall width of the axle and the wheel spoke pitch being adjusted by replacing the widened housings of different lengths.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the length of the middle shell is 600-800mm.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the length of the widened shell is 700-1000mm.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the detachable connection structure is a flange and bolt connection.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a steering cylinder is installed on each of the two widened outer walls of the housing. The fixed end of the steering cylinder is hinged to the bottom outer wall of the widened housing, and the output end of the steering cylinder is hinged to the outer wall of the steering knuckle housing on the same side.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a steering arm is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steering knuckle housing, and the output end of the steering cylinder is hinged to the steering arm on the same side.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a steering assist arm is fixedly connected to the top of the steering knuckle housing, and a steering assist tie rod is provided at the top of the front axle housing. The two ends of the steering assist tie rod are respectively hinged to the two steering assist arms.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the middle shell of the steering knuckle housing is provided with an agricultural machinery mounting plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a widened front drive axle assembly for agricultural machinery with large ridge spacing, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention employs a three-section shell structure consisting of a central shell and two widened shells, facilitating quick adjustment of the wheel spoke pitch by replacing the widened shells to meet the requirements of large ridge spacing operations of 2600 mm and above. The steering mechanism utilizes a split steering cylinder and steering assist rod design, improving steering force and stability, ensuring reliable operation even with large wheel spans. This structure requires no external modification, being directly integrated into the cable tray, simplifying the adjustment process, reducing costs, while maintaining the strength and durability of the cable tray.
