Abstract
This study was conducted to develop a simulation model of a 50 kW class hydro mechanical transmission (HMT) tractor and to verify the model by comparing the measured and simulated data, including the axle torque, rotational speed, and power transmission efficiency. The platform of the HMT was composed of the engine, hydrostatic unit (HSU), compound planetary gear, range shift, spiral bevel gear, and final reduction gear. The HMT had three gear stages and a maximum forward speed of 40 km/h. To evaluate the performance of the HTM, a test bench was installed based on the engine of the HMT platform, and a simulation model was developed using 3D simulation software. To compare the results of the simulation, a bench test using the platform was performed according to the gear stages. The similarities between the measured and simulated data were analyzed using the t-test. As a result, there were no significant differences for the axle torque, rotational speed, and power transmission efficiency. Finally, the power transmission efficiency between the measured and simulated results was compared and analyzed using linear regression analysis to validate the accuracy of the simulation model. The trend of the power transmission efficiency between the measured and simulated results appeared to be similar in all sections, and we obtained a simulation model with the accuracy of an R-squared value of more than 0.97. In conclusion, the measured and simulated results were similar to each other. Considering the results of this study, it will be useful to develop the HMT tractor and to improve the power transmission efficiency for the optimal design.
