SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING FLUID TO A TRACK DRIVE BOX OF A WORK VEHICLE

摘要

A system for supplying fluid within a work vehicle may generally include a track drive box including first and second inlet ports and an outlet port. The system may also include a first supply conduit in fluid communication with the first inlet port and a second supply conduit in fluid communication with the second inlet port. The first supply conduit may be configured to supply a working fluid to the track drive box and the second supply conduit may be configured to supply a pressurized fluid to the track drive box, wherein the pressurized fluid serves to pressurize an interior of the track drive box, Additionally, the system may include an evacuation conduit in fluid communication with the outlet port that is configured to receive the working fluid as it is expelled from the outlet port.

1. A system for supplying fluid within a work vehicle, the system comprising:
a track drive box housing at least one drive component configured to rotationally couple an input shaft associated with track drive box to an output shaft associated with the track drive box, the track drive box including first and second inlet ports and an outlet port; a first supply conduit in fluid communication with the first inlet port, the first supply conduit being configured to supply a working fluid to the track drive box; a second supply conduit in fluid communication with the second inlet port, the second supply conduit being configured to supply a pressurized fluid to the track drive box, the pressurized fluid serving to pressurize an interior of the track drive box; and an evacuation conduit in fluid communication with the outlet port, the evacuation conduit being configured to receive the working fluid as it is expelled from the outlet port, wherein, when an excess amount of the working fluid is supplied into the track drive box via the first supply conduit, the pressure within the interior of the track drive box results in at least a portion of the excess amount of the working fluid being expelled from the track drive box via the outlet port.
