【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、圃場の穀稈を刈取部で刈取り脱穀部に搬送して脱穀するコンバインに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、左右の刈取穀稈株元部のそれぞれを挟持搬送して合流させる左右一対の株元合流搬送チェンを設けたコンバインの刈取穀稈搬送装置においては、株元合流搬送チェンのうち一方の株元合流搬送チェンの搬送終端部を巻回支持する回転輪を他方の株元合流搬送チェンに対する遠近方向に位置変位可能に設けると共に、前記回転輪を接近位置に位置保持する位置保持機構を設け、合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まりが発生した場合、回転輪の接近位置での位置保持を解除して離隔位置に後退させることで合流部における株元合流搬送チェンの間隔を拡大し、合流部からの刈取穀稈の引抜き、即ち合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除を行うようにしている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、前記位置保持機構として特開平11−127663号公報に記載されているような操作レバー付きのカムによるものを用いると、ボルトとナットを用いるものに比べ詰まり解除後に回転輪を元の接近位置に容易に位置保持できるという利点はあるが、カムを回転操作して回転輪の接近位置での位置保持を解除するためには、合流部における刈取穀稈の詰まり反力(合流部における株元合流搬送チェンの間に固く詰まっている刈取穀稈により、合流部における株元合流搬送チェンにこれらの間隔を拡大する方向に働く力、即ち回転輪にこれを後退させる方向に働く力)に抗して回転輪を一旦接近位置からさらに前進させる(合流部における株元合流搬送チェンの間隔を縮小させる)必要があり、カムの回転に多大な操作力が必要となりカムを手で回転させることなど行い得ず、実際にはハンマーなどで操作レバーを叩きカムを回転させることで回転輪の接近位置での位置保持を解除しており、合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除に大変な労力を必要とする問題があるため、回転輪の接近位置での位置保持及びその解除を容易に行えて合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除を作業性良く楽に行うことができるコンバインを提供することを本発明の主たる目的としている。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
然るに、本発明は、左右の刈取穀稈株元部のそれぞれを挟持搬送して合流させる左右一対の株元合流搬送チェンのうち、一方の株元合流搬送チェンの搬送終端部を巻回支持する回転輪を他方の株元合流搬送チェンに対する遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレームに支持するスライド軸と、該スライド軸に設ける溝に前記搬送フレーム側に設けるピンを前記遠近方向と直交する方向で差込むことにより前記スライド軸の遠近方向の移動を規制して前記回転輪を接近位置に位置保持する位置保持機構を設けたもので、溝からピンを引抜くことで前記回転輪を接近位置から前進させることなくその接近位置での位置保持の解除を容易に行わせ、合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除を作業性良く楽に行わせるものである。
【0005】
また、前記スライド軸を平行な2本の軸で構成し、2本のスライド軸のうち一方のスライド軸に前記ピンを差込む溝を設けたもので、回転輪を前記遠近方向に移動させるときにこじが発生するのを押さえ、回転輪の移動を円滑に行わせるものである。
【0006】
また、前記溝に差込む側と反対側の前記ピンの端部を押さえる抜止め部材と該抜止め部材を前記ピンと平行な軸を中心に回転操作するための操作レバーとを一つの板材から構成したもので、操作レバーの回転操作によって回転輪の接近位置での位置保持及びその解除を行わせ、合流部での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除をノンツールで作業性良く楽に行わせるものである。
【0007】
また、前記溝を断面半月形で前記スライド軸の外面に輪状に設ける一方、前記溝に差込む側の前記ピンの端面を前記溝の曲率半径と同じ曲率半径の球面に形成したもので、詰まり反力によってピンの溝からの引抜き及び回転輪の離隔位置への後退を行わせるものである。

また、平面視において、前部中央搬送駆動軸82が後部中央搬送駆動軸83より左側に位置するように、横伝動ケース22から中央搬送駆動ケース80を立上げ、左株元搬送チェン33Lによる左側2条分の刈取穀稈Lの搬送方向(右斜後方向)と同方向(右斜後方向)で、前部中央搬送駆動軸82から後部中央搬送駆動軸83への伝動を行い、伝動ケース81を左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送作用側と中央株元搬送チェン33Cの搬送作用側との間の中央株元搬送チェン33Cの非搬送作用側の下方に配置して納めると共に、伝動ケース81を左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送作用側と平行又は後方に行くに連れて離反する方向に設け、中央搬送駆動ケース80及び伝動ケース81が、左株元搬送チェン33Lによる左側2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部の搬送障害並びに中央株元搬送チェン33Cによる中央2条分の刈取穀稈Cの株元部の搬送障害になるのを防止するように構成している。
【0025】
さらに、中央搬送駆動ケース80を縦伝動ケース21ではなく横伝動ケース22から立上げることで、搬送途中の刈取穀稈R,C株元部の引掛りや、藁草・泥土などの堆積を防止するのに効果的で、かつ中央搬送駆動ケース80及び伝動ケース81が、左株元搬送チェン33Lによる左側2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部の搬送障害並びに中央株元搬送チェン33Cによる中央2条分の刈取穀稈Cの株元部の搬送障害にならないような、中央搬送駆動ケース80の前後位置及び左右位置の位置取り、並びに伝動ケース81による伝動方向の設定を容易に行えるように構成している。
【0026】
前部中央搬送駆動軸82から後部中央搬送駆動軸83への伝動は、伝動チェン86の他、伝動ベルト又は伝動軸で行ってもよい。
【0027】
図9乃至図12に示すように、左株元搬送チェン33Lは、前述のように、一組の左スターホイル30L及び左掻込ベルト31Lによって掻込まれた左側2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部を右斜後上方に挟持搬送して右株元合流搬送チェン33Rの搬送終端部に合流させるもので、右株元合流搬送チェン33Rによって挟持搬送される右側2条分の刈取穀稈R及び中央2条分の刈取穀稈Cの株元部の合計4条分の刈取穀稈R,Cの株元部と左株元合流搬送チェン33Lによって挟持搬送される左2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部との合流部X2においては、右株元合流搬送チェン33Rによって挟持搬送される4条分の刈取穀稈R,Cの株元部に対し、左株元搬送チェン33Lによって挟持搬送される左2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部を左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部から合流させるようになる。
【0028】
前記左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部を巻回支持する穀稈受継輪である回転輪87,88は、これを回転自在に支持するブラケット89を、左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部と対向する前記右株元搬送チェン33Rに対する遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に取付けたスライド軸91に固着することで、前記遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に取付けるもので、搬送フレーム90は、この一端から中実の丸棒材からなるスライド軸91を挿入する断面円形のパイプ材からなり、搬送フレーム90の一端側にスライド軸91を前記遠近方向に移動自在に支持すると共に、搬送フレーム90の端部からスライド軸91の軸長より若干短い寸法内側に入った内面に、スライド軸91の挿入端部を当接させてスライド軸91の挿入量を規制する内向きの段差92を形成し、スライド軸91の一端が常に搬送フレーム90の一端から突出した状態で、搬送フレーム90の一端側にスライド軸91を前記遠近方向に移動自在に支持ししている。このように搬送フレーム90とスライド軸91はシリンダとピストンロッドと同様の関係を有し、搬送フレーム90がシリンダに、スライド軸91がピストンロッドに相当する。そして、搬送フレーム90にスライド軸91を最も挿入したときでも、搬送フレーム90の一端から突出するスライド軸91の一端に前記ブラケット89を固着し、回転輪87,88を前記遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に取付けるように構成している。
【0029】
前記回転輪87,88は、通常これを図9及び図10に示す接近位置に位置保持し、前記合流部X2における左右の株元搬送チェン33L,30Rの間隔(刈取穀稈の搬送通路幅)Yを狭くして、少量の刈取穀稈であっても姿勢乱れや脱落など搬送不良が発生するのを防止するもので、前記回転輪87,88を接近位置に位置保持する位置保持機構93を設けている。
【0030】
前記位置保持機構93は、スライド軸91に設ける溝94に搬送フレーム90側に設けるピン95を前記遠近方向と直交する方向で差込むことによりスライド軸91の遠近方向の移動を規制して前記回転輪87,88を接近位置に位置保持するもので、前記溝94を断面半月形で前記スライド軸91の外面に輪状に設けると共に、前記回転輪87,88が接近位置にあるときに搬送フレーム90に挿入されているスライド軸91の挿入部分で、その挿入長さの略半分の長さ挿入端部から離れた位置に前記溝94を設ける一方、前記ピン95は短い丸棒からなり、前記溝94に差込む側の端面を前記溝94の曲率半径と同じ半径の球面に形成し、かつ前記溝94に差込む側と反対側の端面も球面に形成し、搬送フレーム90の外面から前記遠近方向と直交する方向で、かつ前記左株元搬送チェン33Lの回動平面に対して直角に立上げて固着した短い筒状のピンホルダ96に上下動自在に内装している。また前記ピンホルダ96は、前記回転輪87,88が接近位置にあるときの前記溝94の真上位置となる搬送フレーム90の外面位置に設けると共に、ピン95を内装する内孔を搬送フレーム90の内部に連通させている。これにより、前記回転輪87,88が接近位置にあるとき、ピンホルダ96に内装したピン95の真下に溝94が移動し、ピン95がこの自重でピンホルダ96の内部で下動し、ピン95の下端が前記遠近方向と直交する方向で溝94に自動的に差込まれるようになっている。
【0031】
前記ピン95とピンホルダ96の長さは、ピン95の下端が溝94に差込まれているときに、ピン95の頭頂部がピンホルダ96の上端と同じ高さになり、ピン95の下端が溝94から外れてスライド軸91の外面に乗上げたとき、ピン95の頭頂部が溝94の深さだけピンホルダ96の上端から突出するような長さ関係になるように形成している。
【0032】
前記位置保持機構93には、溝94に差込む側と反対側のピン95の端部である頭部を押さえる抜止め部材97と、この抜止め部材97を前記ピン95と平行な軸98を中心に回転操作するための操作レバー99を設けると共に、これら抜止め部材97と操作レバー99を一つの板材から構成するもので、前記軸98の外側に回転自在に嵌合するボス100の外面から一方向に抜止め部材97を延設し、その反対方向に操作レバー99を延設している。また軸98は、搬送フレーム90の外面から左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送作用側と非搬送作用側との間に一体延設した開放部が下に向くコの字形のブラケット101における左株元搬送チェン33Lの回動平面と平行な上面に直角に立設固定し、前記ボス100を介して抜止め部材97と操作レバー99を、左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送作用側と非搬送作用側との間で、左株元搬送チェン33Lの回動平面と平行に支持し、左株元搬送チェン33Lの上面より高い前記ピンホルダ96の上端面を含む平面と抜止め部材97と操作レバー99の下面が一致する高さで、軸98を中心に抜止め部材97と操作レバー99を回転させるようにしている。さらに操作レバー99は、刈取部7の左外側に向けてボス100の外面から延設している。またスライド軸91の移動方向で対向する前記ブラケット101の両側片のうち、前側の側片と搬送フレーム90が作る角部にL形のレバー支持フレーム102の折曲部より一方を固着し、他方を抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動すときの操作レバー99の中間部下面に延設し、操作レバー99に形成した孔103とレバー支持フレーム102の前記他方端部に形成した孔104にスナップピン105を挿通させることで、抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動する位置で操作レバー99を固定するようになっている。また板状の抜止め部材97の一側から斜め上方に連続して延設する傾斜状のストッパー106を設け、操作レバー99の回転操作によって抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動する前にストッパー106をピンホルダ96の上面を通過させることで、抜止め部材97をピンホルダ96の上面にスムーズに回転移動させると共に、抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動したとき、前記ブラケット101の後側の側片に固着したフレーム107に、ストッパー106の先端を当接させ、抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動したときに操作レバー99の回転操作を止めるようになっている。
【0033】
前記スライド軸91とは別に、搬送フレーム90と反対側の前記ブラケット101先端側でこの両側片に挿通支持させて、前記遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に取付けるスライド軸108を設け、このスライド軸108の端部に前記スライド軸91と同様に前記ブラケット89を固着させ、スライド軸を平行な二本の軸91,108で構成し、前記ブラケット89の固着端と反対側で、前記ブラケット101の前側の側片から突出するスライド軸108の端部には、スライド軸91,108の接近方向の移動を規制する円盤状のストッパー109を着脱自在にボルト止めして設け、回転輪87,88が前記接近位置に移動し、ピン95の真下に溝94が移動したとき、ストッパー109を前記ブラケット101の前側の側片に当接させてスライド軸91,108の接近方向の移動を止めるようになっている。
【0034】
そして、図9及び図10に示すように、前記回転輪87,88が接近位置にあるときには、2本のスライド軸91,108が搬送フレーム90,ブラケット101から大きく突出し、ストッパー109が前記ブラケット101の前側の側片に当接していると共に、一方のスライド軸91に設けた溝94が搬送フレーム90に固着したピンホルダ96に内装したピン95の真下位置に移動し、ピン95がこの自重でピンホルダ96の内部で下動し、ピン95の下端が前記遠近方向と直交する方向で溝94に差込まれている。この状態で、操作レバー99を図10に示す位置に回転操作し、抜止め部材97をピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動させてピンホルダ96の開放上面を塞ぎ、ピン95の頭頂部97を抜止め部材97で押さえ、溝94と抜止め部材97の間にピン95を挟む状態として、溝94からのピン95の抜止めを図った後、操作レバー99をスナップピン105で固定し、前記位置保持機構93による前記回転輪87,88の接近位置での位置保持を行い、前記合流部X2における左右の株元搬送チェン33L,30Rの間隔(刈取穀稈の搬送通路幅)Yを狭くして、少量の刈取穀稈であっても姿勢乱れや脱落など搬送不良が発生するのを防止しながら、右株元合流搬送チェン33Rによって挟持搬送される4条分の刈取穀稈R,Cの株元部に対し、左株元搬送チェン33Lによって挟持搬送される左2条分の刈取穀稈Lの株元部を左株元搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部から適正に合流させるものである。
【0035】
一方、前記合流部X2での刈取穀稈L,R,Cの詰まりが発生した場合には、機械を停止し、刈取部7の左外側から前記位置保持機構93による前記回転輪87,88の接近位置での位置保持の解除し、前記回転輪87,88を離隔位置に後退させることで、前記合流部X2における左右の株元搬送チェン33L,33Rの間隔Yを拡大し、合流部X2からの刈取穀稈L,R,Cの引抜き、即ち合流部X2での刈取穀稈L,R,Cの詰まり解除を行うもので、前記回転輪87,88の接近位置での位置保持の解除は、操作レバー99を固定しているスナップピン105を各孔103,104から引抜いた後、操作レバー99を図10に示す位置保持位置から図12の実線に示す解除位置に回転操作し、抜止め部材97をピンホルダ96の上面から外れた非作用位置に回転移動してピンホルダ96の上面を開放し、ピン95の上動による溝94からのピン95の引抜きを許す状態とすることにより、後は合流部X2における刈取穀稈L,R,Cの詰まり反力(合流部X2における左右株元合流搬送チェン33L,33Rの間に固く詰まっている刈取穀稈L,R,Cにより、合流部X2における左右株元合流搬送チェン33L,33Rにこれらの間隔Yを拡大する方向に働く力、即ち回転輪87,88にこれを後退させる方向に働く力)によって、各スライド軸91,108が後退移動し、その移動開始時点でピン95がこの下端と溝94の嵌合い形状によって自動的に押上げられて、スライド軸91外面にピン95を乗上げさせた状態で、各スライド軸91,108がさらに後退移動し、前記回転輪87,88が図11の実線及び図12の実線に示す離隔位置に後退するものである。
【0036】
また、合流部X2での刈取穀稈L,R,Cの詰まりを解除した後、再び前記回転輪87,88を元の接近位置に復帰させ、その位置に位置保持する、即ち回転輪87,88の再セットは、ブラケット89などを押して各スライド軸91,108を前進移動させると、その前進移動が、ストッパー109が前記ブラケット101の前側の側片に当接することで、止められ、そのとき、溝94がピン95の真下位置に移動しており、ピン95がこの自重でピンホルダ96の内部で下動し、ピン95の下端が前記遠近方向と直交する方向で自動的に溝94に差込まれる。その後、操作レバー99を図12の実線に示す位置から図10に示す位置方向に回転操作すると、その回転が、フレーム107にストッパー106の先端が当接することで、止められ、そのとき抜止め部材97がピンホルダ96の上面に回転移動しており、その位置で操作レバー99をスナップピン105で固定すれば、完了するものである。
【0037】
上記から明らかなように、左右の刈取穀稈L,R株元部のそれぞれを挟持搬送して合流させる左右一対の株元合流搬送チェン33L,33Rのうち、一方の株元合流搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部を巻回支持する回転輪87,88を他方の株元合流搬送チェン33Rに対する遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に支持するスライド軸91と、該スライド軸91に設ける溝94に前記搬送フレーム90側に設けるピン95を前記遠近方向と直交する方向で差込むことにより前記スライド軸91の遠近方向の移動を規制して前記回転輪87,88を接近位置に位置保持する位置保持機構93を設けたもので、溝94からピン95を引抜くことで前記回転輪87,88を接近位置から前進させることなくその接近位置での位置保持の解除を容易に行わせ、合流部X2での刈取穀稈L,Rの詰まり解除を作業性良く楽に行わせるように構成している。
【0038】
また、前記スライド軸を平行な2本の軸91,108で構成し、2本のスライド軸91,108のうち一方のスライド軸91に前記ピン95を差込む溝94を設けたもので、回転輪87,88を前記遠近方向に移動させるときにこじが発生するのを押さえ、回転輪87,88の移動を円滑に行わせるように構成している。
【0039】
また、前記溝94に差込む側と反対側の前記ピン95の端部を押さえる抜止め部材97と該抜止め部材97を前記ピン95と平行な軸98を中心に回転操作するための操作レバー99とを一つの板材から構成したもので、操作レバー99の回転操作によって回転輪87,88の接近位置での位置保持及びその解除を行わせ、合流部X2での刈取穀稈L,Rの詰まり解除をノンツールで作業性良く楽に行わせるように構成している。
【0040】
また、前記溝94を断面半月形で前記スライド軸91の外面に輪状に設ける一方、前記溝94に差込む側の前記ピン95の端面を前記溝94の曲率半径と同じ曲率半径の球面に形成したもので、詰まり反力によってピン95の溝94からの引抜き及び回転輪87,88の離隔位置への後退を行わせるように構成している。
【0041】
図13及び図14に示すように、左右及び中央の株元搬送チェン33L,33R,33C、株元搬送チェン34、補助株元搬送チェン35,36など穀稈株元搬送機構を構成する搬送チェン110には、搬送チェン110との間で刈取穀稈L,R,Cの株元部を挟扼して搬送するための挟扼機構111か設けられており、この挟扼機構111は、刈取部7のメインフレームなどに固定した固定板112に、断面門形に形成したブラケット113を搬送チェン110の搬送作用側に対する遠近方向に位置調節自在に取付け、このブラケット113に、一対の挟扼レール支持アーム114を前記遠近方向に移動自在に挿通支持し、搬送チェン110とブラケット113の間に突出する一対の挟扼レール支持アーム114の端部に挟扼レール115を固着し、バネ116によって挟扼レール115を搬送チェン110の搬送作用側に向けて弾圧支持している。
【0042】
また、固定板112に対して挟扼機構111は、このブラケット113の上面に立設固定した一対のボルト117を、上方の固定板112に前記遠近方向に平行に開設した一対の長孔118に挿通させ、固定板112の上面側と下面側でボルト117に螺着する上下2個のナット119,120によりボルト117を固定板112に締付けることで、挟扼機構111の上下方向の位置調節と固定を兼用させ、挟扼機構111を搬送チェン110の中央に容易に位置調節できるようにし、挟扼機構111の位置ずれによる刈取穀稈L,R,Cの姿勢乱れや脱落などを防止し、穀稈搬送機能を向上させるように構成している。
【0043】
上記のように、挟扼機構111を固定板112に締結するボルト117を上下方向に位置調節する方向で設け、挟扼機構111の上下方向の位置調節と固定の両方を兼用させるもので、挟扼機構111を搬送チェン110の中央に位置させる機能の安定を図ることができる。また上下方向の位置調節と固定の両方を兼用するから構造簡単にでき、搬送通路側に挟扼機構111の固定用のボルトが突出しないから、搬送穀稈や藁屑の引掛かりや堆積も押さえることができ、挟扼機構111の上下方向の位置調節だけでなく前記遠近方向の位置調節も容易に行うことができ、上下方向の位置調節部と固定部の両方がブラケット113の中央にあるから、搬送穀稈や藁屑の引掛かりや堆積も押さえることができるものである。
【0044】
図15及び図16に示すように、前記各引起駆動ケース48は、これに内挿する引起駆動軸53の延長線上にある下端面に後述する上部穂先搬送駆動ケースの入力端部をいんろう接続するための孔121を形成すると共に、この孔121周りの各引起駆動ケース48の外面には前記上部穂先搬送駆動ケースの入力端部又は前記孔121を閉鎖するための蓋体122をセットボルト123で取外可能に一体連結するためのフランジ124を形成し、また前記引起駆動軸53には、これを引起タイン駆動軸49に連動連結させる一対のベベルギア125,126のうち、引起駆動軸53上に設ける一方のベベルギア125より突出させて前記孔121の近傍位置まで延出させる軸端部127を形成している。
【0045】
一方、各上部穂先搬送タイン39L,39R,39Cの各タインケース128には、これを出力端部に取付け、前記各引起駆動ケース48の孔121にいんろう接続する入力端部129aを形成する上部穂先搬送駆動ケース129を設けている。この上部穂先搬送駆動ケース129には、入力軸130と、出力軸131と、これら2軸130,131を連動連結させる一対のベベルギア132,133を内装し、入力軸130の入力端部に前記引起駆動軸53の軸端部127との軸継手134を固着し、この軸継手134の端部を上部穂先搬送駆動ケース129の出力端部から突出させ、また出力軸131を上部穂先搬送駆動ケース129の出力端部からタインケース128内側に突出させ、その突出端部に、引起タイン28を等間隔に取付ける回転板135を設け、さらに上部穂先搬送駆動ケース129の入力端部129a外面に各引起駆動ケース48側のフランジ124に対応するフランジ129bを形成している。
【0046】
そして、左上部穂先搬送タイン39Lの駆動ケース129の入力端部129aを左から2番目の引起ケース29の引起駆動ケース48の孔121にいんろう接続すると共に、入力軸130の軸継手134を引起駆動軸53の軸端部127にスプライン嵌合し、左から2番目の引起ケース29の引起駆動ケース48の下端部にフランジ124及びセットボルト123を介して駆動ケース129を一体連結し、これによって、左から2番目の引起ケース29の背面側上部に左上部穂先搬送タイン39Lを装着支持し、かつこのタイン39Lに動力を伝達して回転駆動させる。これと同様に、右上部穂先搬送タイン39Rの駆動ケース129は、右から二番目の引起ケース29の引起駆動ケース48の下端部に一体連結し、右から2番目の引起ケース29の背面側上部に右上部穂先搬送タイン39Rを装着支持し、かつこのタイン39Rに動力を伝達して回転駆動させ、中央上部穂先搬送タイン39Cの駆動ケース129は、右から三番目の引起ケース29の引起駆動ケース48の下端部に一体連結し、右から3番目の引起ケース29の背面側上部に中央上部穂先搬送タイン39Cを装着支持し、かつこのタイン39Cに動力を伝達して回転駆動させる一方、残りの引起ケース29の引起駆動ケース48の上部穂先搬送駆動ケース接続用の孔121は、これに前記蓋体122を装着してセットボルト123及びフランジ124を介して固定して閉鎖処理するように構成している。
【0047】
上記構成によって、引起駆動ケース48を、上部穂先搬送タイン39L,39R,39Cを取付けるものと取付けないものと二種類用意する必要がなくなり、引起駆動ケース48を一種類に統一でき、製造コストの低下を図ることができると共に、機種の異なりによって上部穂先搬送タイン39L,39R,39Cの取付位置やその数がことなっても適正に対応でき、また刈取る穀物の種類や品種の異なりによって上部穂先搬送タイン39L,39R,39Cの使用・不使用にも適正に対応できるようになるものである。
【0048】
【発明の効果】
以上実施例から明らかなように本発明は、左右の刈取穀稈株元部のそれぞれを挟持搬送して合流させる左右一対の株元合流搬送チェン33L,33Rのうち、一方の株元合流搬送チェン33Lの搬送終端部を巻回支持する回転輪87,88を他方の株元合流搬送チェン33Rに対する遠近方向に移動自在に搬送フレーム90に支持するスライド軸91と、該スライド軸91に設ける溝94に前記搬送フレーム90側に設けるピン95を前記遠近方向と直交する方向で差込むことにより前記スライド軸91の遠近方向の移動を規制して前記回転輪97,88を接近位置に位置保持する位置保持機構93を設けたもので、溝94からピン95を引抜くことで前記回転輪887,88を接近位置から前進させることなくその接近位置での位置保持の解除を容易に行うことができ、合流部X2での刈取穀稈の詰まり解除を作業性良く楽に行うことができるものである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a combine for threshing by transporting a grain culm in a field to a mowing and threshing unit at a mowing unit.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a combined harvesting grain culm conveying device provided with a pair of left and right stock mill merging and conveying chains that pinch and convey each of the left and right mowing grain culm stems to merge, one of the stock mill merging and conveying chains is provided. A rotatable wheel that winds and supports the transfer end portion of the original merged transfer chain is provided so as to be displaceable in the perspective direction with respect to the other stock merged transfer chain, and a position holding mechanism that holds the rotary wheel at the approach position is provided, When the harvested culm at the junction is clogged, the position of the rotating wheel is released at the approaching position and released to the separated position, thereby increasing the distance between the stocking unit and the transfer chain at the junction. , The removal of the clogged culm at the confluence is performed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, using a cam with an operating lever as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-1276663 as the position holding mechanism, the rotating wheel is moved to the original approach position after the clogging is released as compared with a mechanism using a bolt and a nut. There is an advantage that the position can be easily maintained, but in order to release the position holding at the approach position of the rotating wheel by rotating the cam, the clogging reaction force of the harvested cereal culm at the confluence portion (the stock source at the confluence portion) The harvested culm firmly clogged between the consolidation transport chains resists the force acting in the confluence part on the stock former consolidation transport chain in the direction of expanding these distances, that is, the force acting on the rotating wheel in the direction of retracting it. The rotating wheel must be once further advanced from the approach position (to reduce the interval of the stock merger / conveyance chain at the merging portion), and a large amount of operating force is required to rotate the cam. It is impossible to rotate the cam by hand, etc.In fact, hitting the operation lever with a hammer etc. and rotating the cam releases the position holding at the approaching position of the rotating wheel, and the harvested grain culm at the junction There is a problem that a great deal of labor is required to clear the clogs, so it is easy to maintain the position at the approaching position of the rotating wheel and release it, and to easily clear the clogged harvested culm at the junction with good workability. It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a combine that can be used.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention winds and supports the transfer end portion of one of the stock source combined transfer chains, of the pair of left and right share source combined transfer chains that pinch and transfer each of the left and right harvested grain culm strain base portions to join. A slide shaft for supporting the rotating wheel on the transfer frame so as to be movable in the perspective direction with respect to the other joint source transfer chain, and a pin provided on the transfer frame side in a groove provided on the slide shaft in a direction perpendicular to the perspective direction. And a position holding mechanism for holding the rotating wheel at the approaching position by restricting the movement of the slide shaft in the near and far directions by moving the rotating shaft forward from the approaching position by pulling out the pin from the groove. It is intended to easily release the holding of the position at the approach position without causing the clogging of the harvested grain culm at the confluence part with good workability.
[0005]
Further, the slide shaft is constituted by two parallel shafts, and one of the two slide shafts is provided with a groove for inserting the pin, and the rotating wheel is moved in the perspective direction. This suppresses the occurrence of a wrinkle and smoothly moves the rotating wheel.
[0006]
Further, a stopper member for pressing an end of the pin opposite to the side to be inserted into the groove and an operation lever for rotating the stopper member about an axis parallel to the pin are formed of one plate material. The rotation of the operation lever causes the rotating wheel to maintain its position at the approaching position of the rotating wheel and release the position, and the clogging of the harvested cereal culm at the confluence is easily performed with a non-tool with good workability.
[0007]
Also, the groove is provided in a ring shape on the outer surface of the slide shaft with a half-moon cross section, and the end face of the pin inserted into the groove is formed as a spherical surface having the same radius of curvature as the groove. The reaction force causes the pin to be pulled out of the groove and the rotating wheel to be retracted to the separated position.
