  The invention according to this application notifies the related workers of the progress of the harvesting work at the work site (the field where the rice is harvested) using a designated mobile phone, prepares the next process in a timely manner, and makes the entire work efficient. The goal is to go well.

  In order to efficiently perform a series of operations from harvesting to drying, it is necessary for related workers to know the progress of the work. In fact, the harvesting situation of the combine has a problem that only one operator, the combine operator working in the field, can understand.

  Therefore, in the invention according to this application, in particular, when the harvesting operation by the combine is performed by setting the target yield per unit (for example, per day) in accordance with the drying capacity of the dryer, the monitor information on the harvest status By sending a warning to a designated mobile phone and notifying the related workers of the status of the harvesting work, the efficiency of the whole work is improved.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention described in claim 1 is that the control means 2 is sequentially supplied to the Glen tank 3 in the harvesting operation of the combine performed by setting the target harvest amount M in advance. The control means 2 calculates the total detection time from when the grain sensor 4 reaches the full tank to the full tank as the required time T, A harvesting status display device for a combine using a mobile phone configured to transmit the required time T to a designated mobile phone 5, and a related worker reaches a full tank from the start of harvesting displayed on the mobile phone. It is possible to estimate the approximate time required for the entire harvesting work until the target yield is harvested by knowing the total operation time of each operation, that is, the required time, and prepare the related workers for the next process. efficiently It will be cause I.

  Next, the invention described in claim 2 is an ON mode in which the control means 2 is required to detect the cereal sensor 6 that detects the presence or absence of the transported culm when the required time T is obtained. And an OFF mode that requires both detection and non-detection in combination, and one of two types of required times T1 and T2 can be selected and obtained. The harvesting status display device for the combine using the mobile phone described above, when finding the required time from the start of harvesting until it reaches full tank, when the harvesting operation is performed with the ON mode selected, it faces the conveyance path While the cereal sensor detects the transporting culm, the total time detected by the cereal sensor is calculated and used as the required time. Time is required time. And when the OFF mode is selected, the required time is the total amount of detection time required by the grain sensor through the actual cutting and threshing time as well as the turning time, and includes most of the time required for the harvesting work. It will be.

  Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the required time, the operator transmits the required time obtained by performing the harvesting work until the first full tank in the ON mode to the designated mobile phone and transmits it to the related worker, By switching the harvesting operation to the OFF mode and sending the time required for the work, the related workers can inform the accurate time required to estimate the harvesting time to reach the target yield. It was.

  Next, in the invention described in claim 3, the control means 2 measures the time for discharging the grain from the grain tank 3, the integrated value of the measurement time, and the amount of the grain discharged per unit time. The total harvest amount S of the harvested grain is calculated based on the above, and when the total harvest amount S reaches the preset target harvest amount M, it is transmitted to the designated mobile phone 5 and voiced. The harvest status display device for a combine using the mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein the monitor information such as an alarm sound can be displayed, wherein the grain being harvested with respect to the set target yield This is a method for obtaining the total amount of time discharged from the Glen tank to the outside of the machine. This method is based on the cumulative value of the on-time of the drain clutch of the Glen Tank, and is easily obtained because the discharge flow rate of the hourly grain is known and automatically transmitted using a specified mobile phone. The relevant workers can be notified by voice or alarm sound.

  Next, in the invention described in claim 4, the control means 2 transmits the target harvest amount M to the designated mobile phone 5 and displays it in the graph Gm, while the change value increases during the harvesting operation. The total harvest amount S obtained by adding is sent to the mobile phone 5 so that the total harvest amount S is displayed as a graph Gs, and both can be displayed on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone for comparison. The harvesting status display device for the combine using the mobile phone described above, which displays the target harvest amount and the total harvest amount in a graph on the screen of the mobile phone so that the current value for the target value can be easily known visually. be able to.

  First of all, the invention described in claim 1 is the total work time for one person from the start of harvesting displayed on the mobile phone until the person who is involved in the harvesting work of the combine (related worker) reaches full tank, in other words, By knowing the time required for the Glen tank to reach full tank from the empty state, it is possible to estimate the approximate time required for harvesting work until the target yield is harvested. Has an excellent feature that makes it possible to quickly and efficiently prepare for the work that it handles.

  The invention described in claim 2 selects and switches between the ON mode and the OFF mode, and selects one of the two required time for the harvesting work, in order to obtain the required time from the start of cutting until it reaches full tank. There is a feature that can be obtained.

  Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the required time, the operator performs the harvesting work up to the first full tank in the ON mode, sends the required required time to the designated mobile phone and informs the related workers, and next time By switching the harvesting operation to the OFF mode and sending the time required for the work, when the related workers estimate the harvesting time to reach the target harvesting amount, the target harvesting amount is achieved taking into account the two required times Since the time to do is estimated, there is a feature that a highly accurate estimated value can be obtained. Usually, in the first combine harvesting operation, the corner turning often takes time unexpectedly, and it is effective to harvest the first operation in the ON mode.

  The invention according to claim 3 is based on the cumulative value of the ON time of the drain clutch of the Glen tank, and since the discharge flow rate of the grain per unit time is known, it can be easily obtained, and the designated mobile phone It can be automatically transmitted to related workers using voice or alarm sound.

  In the invention described in claim 4, since the target yield and the total yield are graphed and displayed on the screen of the designated mobile phone, the related workers can visually check the target value up to the present value at a glance. There is an excellent feature that can know the harvest value.

  In the present invention, when the harvesting and threshing work by the combine is performed by setting the target harvest amount M in advance, the control means 2 detects the filling amount of the grains sequentially supplied to the Glen tank 3 along with the cutting and threshing work. A grain sensor 4 is provided, and the control means 2 obtains a total time of detection until the grain sensor 4 reaches full tank from the time when the grain tank is empty until the grain sensor 4 starts emptying as a required time T. The required time T is transmitted to the designated mobile phone 5. Therefore, the worker involved in the harvesting work estimates the time required for the harvesting work to reach the target grain amount by knowing the required time T received by his mobile phone. It has the characteristic which becomes possible.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
First, as shown in FIG. 3, the combine 1 has a threshing device 11 on the left side in the traveling direction, a control seat 12 on the front part on the right side, and a Glen tank 3 on the rear part on the vehicle body 10 having a crawler. It is configured to be installed side by side. Then, as shown in the drawing, the pre-cutting processing device 13 includes a weed pod 14 at a lower position in the front, a reaping device 15 at the rear thereof, and a culm pulling device 16 inclined further upward. And, the culm transporting device 17 for transporting the harvested cereal culm to the threshing device 11 is disposed and configured integrally, and is configured to be supported at the front part of the vehicle body 10 so as to freely move up and down.

After inheriting and holding the stock, the root of the feed chain 19 is handed over to the starting end of the feed chain 19, and the threshing and sorting are performed while inserting the head into the handling room and carrying it. Yes.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the Glen tank 3 is connected to the threshing device 11 provided by the first threshing device 20, and the first grain after threshing and sorting is cerealed. Supplied and stored sequentially. As shown in FIG. 2, the Glen tank 3 is provided with a discharge spiral 21 pivoted in the front-rear direction on the bottom surface, and the end portion of the discharge spiral 21 is connected to the cerealing device 22 as shown in FIG. 3. It is set as the structure which can discharge | emit the stored grain by connecting to the discharge auger 23 via this machine. In FIG. 4, 28 is a discharge clutch lever, and 24 is a clutch sensor (auger clutch sensor).

As shown in FIG. 2, the grain sensor 4 is provided on the inner wall of the Glen tank 3 so as to be arranged in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals, and detects the grain filled in the tank 3.
Next, the control means 2 of the present invention, that is, the controller 2 of the embodiment will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the controller 2 has a grain sensor 4, a grain straw sensor 6, an auger clutch sensor 24, a target yield setting dial 25, a vehicle speed sensor 26, and a mode switch on the input side. 30 are connected to each other to input information. Then, as shown in the drawing, the controller 2 connects the transmitter 27 to the output side to perform transmission control, and specifies a large number of monitor information obtained based on setting information, detection information, detection information, or the like. The mobile phone 5 is automatically transmitted.

  As described above, the grain sensor 4 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the Glen tank 2 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and sequentially detects the amount of grains to be filled. It is configured to do. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the culm sensor 6 is provided at the terminal portion of the culm transporting device 17 also as a culm guide, and has a function of detecting the presence or absence of the transported culm, and harvesting work. It is configured to detect and input the information to the controller 2 as to whether the cutting is in progress or is paused, and when the cutting is started and ended.

  And in the case of an Example, when the information which the grain sensor 4 detected is input, the controller 2 calculates and calculates | requires the required time T until a full tank and the time to reach a full tank based on the detection information. Can do. In this case, when the filling amount is set instead of or together with the full tank, the controller 3 calculates the required time T and the time to reach the set filling amount as a result of the calculation, The configuration can be obtained.

  The controller 3 outputs the control signal to the output side to perform the transmission control of the transmitter 27, and has already described the configuration that can transmit each information to the designated mobile phone 5. In this case, the information to be transmitted to the mobile phone 5 is classified and set in advance, and a warning sound that accompanies a full tank, a time required until the tank is full, a time when the tank is full, or a time required until the set amount is set. The time when the amount is reached, the target harvest amount M, the total harvest amount S, and the like are displayed on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5 as graphs Gm and Gs.

  As a result, even if the related worker is standing by at a remote place, he / she can know the harvesting situation of the combine 1 which is working in the field, and can prepare the work for the next process with good timing. it can.

Based on the configuration described above, each example will be further described in detail.
First, in each embodiment according to the present invention, the target harvest amount M to be harvested on the day is set by the target harvest amount setting dial 25 and stored as a set value in the controller 2 to start the operation. Here, the target harvest amount M is usually determined based on the daily dry capacity of the drying facility, and in order to ensure the taste of rice, the harvested grains should be left undried and carried over to the next day. Is assumed.

  When the target harvest amount M is set in this way and the combine 1 starts the harvesting and threshing operation, the controller 2 has the detection information of the filling amount of the grains sequentially supplied from the grain sensor 4 to the grain tank 3. Have been entered. And the controller 2 calculates | requires the sum total of the detection time of the grain sensor 4 until it reaches a full tank from the start of cutting as the required time T, and outputs the required time T to the output side transmitter 27 as a control signal. Send to the specified mobile phone 5.

  Then, the waiting related worker can know the total work time for the first time from the start of cutting displayed on the received mobile phone 5 until reaching full tank, that is, the required time T, and based on this, the target harvesting It is possible to estimate the approximate time required for the entire harvesting operation until the amount M is harvested. Therefore, the related worker can prepare for the next process in accordance with the estimated time for completing the harvesting work.

Next, an embodiment in which two required times T1 and T2 are obtained by adding the required time T to the requirement of the cereal sensor 6 will be described.
First, when the controller 2 obtains the required time T, the grain tank 3 is detected when the grain sensor 6 serving also as a guide provided at the conveyance terminal of the grain conveying device 17 detects the conveying grain. A mode changeover switch 30 is provided so as to be switchable between an ON mode for integrating the detection time of the grain sensor 4 and an OFF mode for integrating the grain sensor 6 during detection and non-detection. is doing.

Therefore, in this embodiment, one of the two required times T1 and T2 can be selected and obtained by switching the mode changeover switch 30.
Here, when the controller 2 selects the ON mode and performs a harvesting operation, the total time detected by the grain sensor 4 while the grain sensor 6 facing the transport path detects the transported grain cake. Therefore, the total time detected by the grain sensor 4 during the actual harvesting and threshing time is excluded. The required time T1 is reached and transmitted to the designated mobile phone 5.

  And when the controller 2 selects the OFF mode, the above-mentioned actual cutting and threshing time and the time such as turning are combined, and the sum of the times detected by the grain sensor 4 is obtained between them. Most of the time detected by the grain sensor 4 is included as the required time T2.

  Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the required time T, the operator transmits the required time T1 obtained by selecting the ON mode and performing the harvesting work until the first full of the combine work to the designated mobile phone 5. If the relevant worker is notified and the next harvesting operation is switched to the OFF mode and the required time T2 is transmitted, the related worker can accurately estimate the harvest time until the target harvest amount M is reached. You can know the high time required T.

  As already mentioned, it is known that the harvesting work by the combine 1 is unexpectedly time-consuming for the corner turn at the first time when the harvesting work is performed in the field. By performing the work and switching to the OFF mode from the second time, the error of the estimation time can be reduced as much as possible.

The following example will be described.
First, the controller 2 operates the discharge clutch lever 28 to the inward side when the Glen tank 3 reaches a full tank and starts the discharge operation, and detects the ON time of the discharge clutch by the auto clutch sensor 24 (see FIG. 4). And input. Then, the controller 2 calculates the total harvest amount S of the harvested grains based on the integrated value of the ON time and, on the other hand, the discharged grain amount per unit time. Then, the controller 2 outputs a control signal to the transmitter 27 when the total harvest amount S reaches the target harvest amount M set in advance, and transmits it to the designated mobile phone 5. In the case of, the relevant worker is notified by an alarm sound.

  The monitor information until the total yield S reaches the target yield M is displayed as the number of full tanks in the Glen tank 3 and the fraction of the Glen tank until the target harvest M is reached (because the target yield M is reached). Sound and image display such as the amount of harvest until the full tank of the Further, as an embodiment, it is also conceivable that the target harvest amount M is replaced with the target discharge time, the total harvest amount S is replaced with the current discharge time, and the information is transmitted to the designated mobile phone 5 for notification.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the controller 2 stores the grain discharge flow rate in units of time on the basis of the accumulated value of the ON time of the discharge clutch of the Glen tank 3, so that the total amount can be relatively easily calculated. The harvest amount S is obtained, and can be automatically transmitted to the related workers using the designated mobile phone 5 as described above.

The following example will be described.
First, the controller 2 transmits a preset target harvest amount M to the designated mobile phone 5 and displays it on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5 as a graph Gm. The combine 1 starts the harvesting operation and sequentially supplies the grain tank 3 to the grain tank 3. In this process, the controller 2 adds the change value that increases by the detection action of the grain sensor 4. The total harvest amount S is obtained and transmitted to the mobile phone 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the designated mobile phone 5 displays the received total yield S as a graph Gs on the display surface 5H. In this case, the total yield is arranged on the graph Gm of the target yield M. The graph Gs of S is displayed so that the two can be compared on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the related workers display the target harvest amount M and the total harvest amount S in a graph on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5, so that the current value for the target value can be easily determined visually. Can know.

  In each of the embodiments described below, the required time T transmitted from the controller 2 to the designated mobile phone 5 is accurately determined, the working time (required time) until the set target yield M is reached, and the target harvest. A technique for monitoring and displaying the time when the amount M is reached on the display surface 5H will be described.

  First, since the required time T is important to integrate the time during which the combine is actually performing the harvesting and threshing work, the time when the auxiliary transmission is shifted to a high speed (road speed on the road) The time detected by the vehicle speed sensor 26 is deleted, and only the time when the reaping device 15 and the threshing device 11 are in the ON state (the time detected by the vehicle speed sensor 26 as the work speed) is integrated and calculated.

  Thus, the controller 2 can accurately calculate the required time T from the start of work to full tank by accurately calculating the actual working time during which the combine 1 is cutting and threshing.

Similarly, as means for accurately grasping the actual working time, there is an ON time of the culm sensor 6 for detecting the presence or absence of the cereal being conveyed, which has already been described.
As described above, if the related worker transmits the mobile phone 5 designated by the controller 2 and the display surface 5H displays the exact required time T from the start of work to the full tank, the target worker is based on this. The time required for mass harvest M can be estimated.

  Then, if the controller 2 inputs the target harvest amount M in advance and performs the harvesting and threshing operation, the controller 2 starts the operation with the Glen tank 3 being empty, and calculates based on the operation time until the tank reaches a full tank. For example, it is possible to obtain the required time to the target harvest amount M and the time to reach the target harvest amount. Then, the controller 2 can output the signal to the transmitter 27 for transmission, and display the required time T and the work end time obtained as described above on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5.

  In this way, the required time and the work end time are in a relation of front and back, and the controller 2 can automatically calculate the other if one is obtained as a result of the operation. Can be displayed on the display surface 5H. Then, every time the grain discharge from the Glen tank 3 is completed, the controller 2 transmits the remaining full number of times until the target harvest amount M is reached and the remaining work time, and transmits them on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5. It can also be displayed relatively easily.

  The initially set target yield M is not a permanent value and may need to be changed depending on various circumstances. In that case, the target yield setting dial 25 is usually re-operated. In the embodiment of the present plan, communication from the mobile phone 5 side to the controller 2 side enables correction and change.

  The required time T and the end time are times calculated on the assumption that the reaping and threshing operations are continuously performed. Since these are times, they can be predicted based on past data. It is necessary to always correct the range and display the required time and end time with high accuracy.

  For this purpose, the controller 2 according to the embodiment, for example, after inputting the target harvest amount M, detects and inputs the vehicle speed (cutting speed) with the vehicle speed sensor 26, inputs the yield per unit distance, and the number of full tanks. Counting, the important thing is firstly the ON time of the culm sensor 6 during work, and secondly, the cutting speed is sampled and corrected based on the actual work rate from the whole work time, the most frequent The cutting time (or the average value of the cutting speed) is obtained and corrected to calculate the work time and the end time.

  As described above, in the case of the embodiment, the controller 2 corrects and displays a high-accuracy display on the display surface 5H of the mobile phone 5, so that the frequency of correction calculation by the controller 2 is increased and Although it is natural to make corrections for each discharge at the time of tanning, it is possible to display the remaining work time and the end time for reaching the target yield by operating the switch when necessary, so that the device can be displayed with higher accuracy. I have to.

  Note that the controller 2 according to this embodiment may calculate the yield per unit area by calculating based on the working time and travel distance until the full tank of the Glen tank 3 and the registered yield data. it can.
