Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, and in particular to a three-axis output snow sweeper gearbox and snow sweeper. Background Technology
[0002] As snowplows are used for snow removal in winter, the demand for snowplow gearboxes is increasing year by year. However, existing products often suffer from poor durability, high maintenance costs, and limited functionality, making them difficult to adapt to different usage scenarios. Furthermore, there is a shortage of high-performance, cost-effective products, which fails to meet the market's demand for multifunctional, efficient, and economical transmission components. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a three-axis output snow sweeper gearbox and snow sweeper, which has functions such as speed change, torque change and steering. It can be adapted to the installation of the "folding wing" type snow sweeper main unit, with a wider snow sweeping range and higher working efficiency. It has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a three-axis output snow sweeper gearbox, including an input shaft, an input straight bevel gear, a housing, a cover, an output shaft, and an output straight bevel gear; The input end, where the input shaft is installed, is located on the left side of the gearbox. An input straight bevel gear is mounted on the input shaft; the input straight bevel gear is a bevel gear. The other three directions of the gearbox are all output ends. An output shaft is installed on the upper and lower output ends of the gearbox, and an output straight bevel gear is installed on the output shaft. The right output end extends out of the gearbox from the input shaft. Both output straight bevel gears mesh with the input straight bevel gears, and finally the power in the three directions is output through the two output straight bevel gear shafts and the right side of the input shaft.
[0005] In some embodiments, the gear ratio between the two output straight bevel gears and the input straight bevel gear can be adjusted according to the actual application requirements.
[0006] In a second aspect, embodiments of this application provide a snowplow, including: a snowplow main unit and a three-axis output snowplow gearbox provided in the first aspect; The input shaft of the gearbox in this three-axis snowplow is connected to the power source of the snowplow's main unit. The upper output shaft, lower output shaft, and extended input shaft of the gearbox are connected to the snow removal mechanism of the main unit to provide power output in three directions. For example, this snowplow is a "folding wing" type snowplow.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are: 1. The upper and lower output straight bevel gears mesh with the same input straight bevel gear. The input straight bevel gear is mounted on the input shaft, and the power torque is output in three directions from the upper, lower and right sides.
[0008] 2. This gearbox provides power output in three directions: top, bottom, and right. It can be adapted to the "folding wing" type snow sweeper main unit that requires multiple power inputs, thereby achieving a larger snow sweeping range and higher work efficiency.
[0009] 3. The three-axis output snow sweeper gearbox provided in this application embodiment has the functions of speed change, torque change, and steering, and has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost. Specifically, due to the use of straight bevel gears (conical gears) for transmission, it can realize power steering (the axis of the input shaft is perpendicular to the axes of the two output shafts), and at the same time, it has the functions of speed change and torque change through the principle of gear ratio. Moreover, it has a compact structure, is relatively simple to manufacture, and has a low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures: 1. Input shaft; 2. Input straight bevel gear; 3. Housing; 4. Housing cover; 5. Output shaft; 6. Output straight bevel gear. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0014] In this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "left side", "upper / lower side", "right side", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application embodiment provides a three-axis output snowplow gearbox, including an input shaft 1, an input straight bevel gear 2, a housing 3, a housing cover 4, an output shaft 5, and an output straight bevel gear 6. The left side of the gearbox is the input end, where the input shaft 1 is mounted. The input straight bevel gear 2, which is a bevel gear, is mounted on the input shaft 1. The other three directions of the gearbox are output ends, i.e. Figure 1 The diagram shows the upper, lower, and right sides. The upper and lower output ends each have an output shaft 5, with an output straight bevel gear 6 mounted on each shaft 5. The right output end extends from the input shaft 1 out of the housing 3. Both output straight bevel gears 6 mesh with the input straight bevel gear 2, ultimately outputting power in three directions through the upper and lower output shafts 5 and the input shaft 1 extending out of the housing 3.
[0016] This single-input, three-output structure (via the upper and lower output shafts 5 and the input shaft 1 extending from the housing 3) greatly improves the flexibility of power distribution, allowing this gearbox to serve as a transmission component in a "folding wing" snowplow, simultaneously driving the main snow removal mechanism and the auxiliary snow removal mechanisms on both sides, thereby expanding the snowplow's operating width and efficiency. Furthermore, the meshing transmission between the input straight bevel gear 2 and the output straight bevel gear 6 enables a change in power direction (e.g., 90 degrees), while the adjustable gear ratio matches torque and speed, ensuring stable and smooth operation of the snowplow under various working conditions.
[0017] The three-axis output snowplow gearbox provided in the above embodiments has the following beneficial effects: 1. The upper and lower output straight bevel gears mesh with the same input straight bevel gear. The input straight bevel gear is mounted on the input shaft, and simultaneously outputs power torque in three directions: upper, lower, and right.
[0018] 2. It can be installed on the main unit of a "folding wing" type snow sweeper, with a wider snow sweeping range and higher work efficiency.
[0019] 3. The three-axis output snow sweeper gearbox provided in this application embodiment has the functions of speed change, torque change and steering, and has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0020] However, this is not the only possibility. Any variations or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
