Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor gearbox technology, specifically to an HMCVT power split transmission system for tractors. Background Technology

[0002] Tractors, as the core power equipment of modern agricultural production, are widely used in all aspects of tilling, sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, and transportation. Currently, most agricultural tractors in China use manual shift gearboxes. Traditional manual shift gearboxes and even more advanced power shift gearboxes have fixed gear ratios for each gear. To reduce engine fuel consumption and shift shock, existing technology uses the method of increasing the number of gears in the gearbox to buffer the impact of gear changes. However, more and more gears also mean that the gearbox structure becomes more and more complex, and at the same time, power interruption is prone to occur during gear shifts, affecting the vehicle's ability to adapt to various complex working conditions.

[0003] Hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT) combines the stepless speed regulation of hydraulic transmission with the high efficiency of mechanical transmission, making it the preferred transmission solution for modern high-end tractors. It can achieve smooth speed changes while ensuring uninterrupted traction, significantly improving work quality and driver comfort.

[0004] Existing foreign technologies are extremely complex and cannot meet the cost-effectiveness requirements of domestic tractors, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the ECCOM series CVT from the German company ZF employs a stepped-shift transmission system with seven wet clutches and three planetary gear sets, while the continuously variable transmission (CVT) uses a variable displacement hydraulic pump and motor, along with a planetary gear set, making the entire system extremely complex and costly. Currently, there is an urgent need in China for tractor transmissions with continuously variable performance and low cost to meet the demands of domestic agricultural machinery and promote the advancement of tractor modernization technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power split transmission system for tractors that addresses the above problems. It utilizes two sets of planetary gear sets to achieve continuously variable transmission and power reversal functions, and is simple, compact, and reduces system costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an HMCVT power split transmission system for tractors. The system includes a power input shaft, a variable displacement pump connected to the power input shaft, a motor connected to the variable displacement pump, a first sun gear connected to the output end of the motor, a first ring gear mounted on the power input shaft, a first planetary gear mounted between the first ring gear and the first sun gear, and a first planetary carrier connected to the first planetary gear. It also includes a secondary gearbox input shaft, a forward gear clutch connected between the secondary gearbox input shaft and the first planetary carrier, a second sun gear and a second ring gear mounted on the secondary gearbox input shaft, the second ring gear rotatably connected to the secondary gearbox input shaft, a brake connected to the second ring gear, and meshing second and third planetary gears mounted between the second ring gear and the second sun gear. The second and third planetary gears are mounted on the first planetary carrier, and the secondary gearbox input shaft is connected to the travel output shaft.

[0007] In operation, the engine's power is input to the system via the power input shaft. Part of the power is transmitted to the first planetary carrier via the first ring gear and first planetary gears – this is the mechanical power transmission path. The other part of the power is transmitted to the variable displacement pump, which converts the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy and transmits it to the motor. The motor then converts the hydraulic energy back into mechanical energy, which is transmitted to the first planetary carrier via the first sun gear and first planetary gears – this is the hydraulic power transmission path. The two power components are coupled on the first planetary carrier. With a constant input speed, by continuously changing the displacement of the variable displacement pump, the motor speed can be altered, thereby changing the speed of the first planetary carrier and achieving continuously variable transmission (CVT).

[0008] When the forward gear clutch is engaged and the brake is disengaged, power is directly transmitted to the input shaft of the auxiliary gearbox; this is forward gear. When the forward gear clutch is disengaged and the brake is engaged, the second ring gear is locked and its speed is zero. Power is transmitted to the input shaft of the auxiliary gearbox via the second planetary gear set, and the rotational direction of the second sun gear is opposite to that of the second planetary carrier; this is reverse gear.

Through optimized structural design, the structure of the entire transmission is simple and compact, reducing system cost.

The travel output shaft includes a rear drive output shaft, on which a first-speed driven gear, a second-speed driven gear, a third-speed driven gear, and a fourth-speed driven gear are correspondingly installed. A first-speed and second-speed synchronizer is provided between the first-speed and second-speed driven gears, and a third-speed and fourth-speed synchronizer is provided between the third-speed and fourth-speed driven gears.

[0011] In use, the engagement sleeves of the first and second gear synchronizers and the third and fourth gear synchronizers can slide left and right. When the engagement sleeves of the first and second gear synchronizers slide to the right, the first gear driven gear is connected to the rear drive output shaft, which is the first gear state. When the engagement sleeves of the first and second gear synchronizers slide to the left, the second gear driven gear is connected to the rear drive output shaft, which is the second gear state. When the engagement sleeves of the third and fourth gear synchronizers slide to the right, the third gear driven gear is connected to the rear drive output shaft, which is the third gear state. When the engagement sleeves of the third and fourth gear synchronizers slide to the left, the fourth gear driven gear is connected to the rear drive output shaft, which is the fourth gear state.

[0012] The technical solution of this application can realize the continuously variable transmission function and power reversing function of four forward gears and reverse gears. It can realize automatic speed change according to the changes of load, etc. during operation. Through optimized structural design, the structure of the entire transmission is simple and compact, reducing system cost.

[0013] Preferably, the travel output shaft further includes a front drive output shaft, which is connected to a front drive driven gear via a front drive clutch, and a front drive driving gear that meshes with the front drive driven gear is mounted on the rear drive output shaft.

[0014] When in use, when the front drive clutch is engaged, the rear drive output shaft and drive gear drive the front drive driven gear and front drive output shaft to rotate, thus switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes.

[0015] Preferably, a variable pump drive gear is mounted on the power input shaft, and a variable pump driven gear is mounted on the input end of the variable pump.

[0016] In use, the power input shaft and the variable pump drive gear drive the variable pump driven gear and the variable pump input to rotate. The structure is compact and easy to use.

[0017] Preferably, a motor drive gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and a corresponding motor driven gear is installed on the first sun gear.

[0018] In use, the motor and the motor drive gear drive the motor driven gear and the first sun gear to rotate. The structure is compact and easy to use.

[0019] Preferably, the gear ratio between the second gear ring and the second sun gear is 1.5-2.5.

[0020] When in use, the forward and reverse gear ratios can be the same or close, improving comfort.

[0021] Preferably, a hydraulic pump is connected to the end of the power input shaft.

[0022] When in use, the hydraulic pump is used for tasks such as lifting plows, and it is easy to use.

[0023] Preferably, a PTO drive gear is mounted on the power input shaft, and a PTO driven gear that meshes with the PTO drive gear is connected to the power output shaft via a PTO clutch.

[0024] When in use, the PTO clutch C controls the output and cut-off of power from the power take-off shaft, making it easy to use.
