Analysis of the Causes of Steering Joint fracture of Tractors
The tractor is a kind of agricultural machinery. In agricultural production, it needs to be equipped with implements to complete the production of mechanical operations. They are often used in land preparation, crop cultivation, inter-field transportation, fertilization and irrigation, and other functions. The tractors steering joint is an important part of vehicle driving mechanics and an important part of the tractor.
The steering joint has the functions of connecting the steering gear and the wheels of the tractor, so that it can move in the direction of the drivers signal, and thus achieves the purpose of driving and maneuvering the tractor. A good joint can ensure the normal operation of the tractor, while a malfunctioned joint leads to failure of the tractor. Therefore, when the steering joint is damaged or broken, it has a great influence on the normal operation of the tractor, so it is necessary to analyze the causes of the fracture of the steering joint of the tractor in order to better solve the problem and maintain the safety operation.
First of all, the steering joint of the tractor is a link that directly affects the steering performance of the tractor. There are many reasons for the fracture of the steering joint of the tractor, such as poor lubrication, aging of components, load overload or improper installation.
1. Poor lubrication: Poor lubrication of the steering joint of the tractor can cause parts to wear and tear, which is the main reason for the fracture of the steering joint of the tractor. When the oxide scale, impurity, and slag are not cleaned up, and the lubricant is not replaced regularly, the lubricant is not evenly distributed, and once it is exposed to high temperature and humidity, the rust is prone to occur, which affects the lubrication of the joints. And cause too much friction, the parts will be worn out and the joint will be easily broken.
2. Aging components: Mechanical aging of the tractor parts is the process of gradual wear and tear of parts during use, which mainly comes from the fatigue performance of the parts. Friction and subsequent wear and tear due to vibration, heat and oxidative effects on various parts of the tractor will easily cause mechanical aging and fracture of the steering joint of the tractor.
3. Overload: Overload of the steering joint of the tractor will put too much pressure and stress on the joint, which will cause the joint to fail. The steering joint of the tractor is easy to be overloaded in many cases, such as when the road is rough and the tractor is running too fast, the tractor is too heavy, and the implement is too large.
4. Improper installation: Improper installation of the steering joint of the tractor is also very important. Before installation, pay attention to the selection of the components on the tractor, the match between the parts, the mounting clearance between the parts, and the gap of the movable parts. Poor adjustment or assembly will easily cause wear, loosening and fracture of the steering joint.
In conclusion, there are many reasons for the fracture of the steering joint of the tractor, so the user needs to pay attention to the regular inspection, lubrication, maintenance and replacement of the steering joint to reduce its wear and tear, and ensure its normal operation and safety production.
