Description

  The present invention includes a threshing unit that performs a threshing process on a harvested cereal by rotating a handling cylinder in the threshing device, and a sorting process that performs a sorting process on the processed product obtained by the threshing process to collect the grain. A grain storage unit that is equipped with a collection unit so that the sorting and collecting unit is positioned below the threshing unit, and the grains that have been sorted and collected by the sorting and collecting unit are arranged adjacent to the lateral sides of the threshing device Further, the present invention relates to a combine that is configured to be supplied via a lifting conveyor that is erected between the threshing apparatus and the grain storage unit.

  Usually, in the combine as described above, the threshing unit is configured to perform a threshing process on the harvested cereal meal by rotating the handling cylinder. Therefore, the processed product obtained by the threshing process is supplied to the lower sorting and collecting unit while facing the left and right sides of the machine body on the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder in the threshing unit.

Therefore, conventionally, the sorting and collecting unit is arranged with respect to the left and right sides of the machine body, which is the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling barrel, and arranged to the processed material from the threshing unit as much as possible. It has been considered to supply left and right evenly to the collection unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 7-274675 A

  By the way, in the combine, from the point of shortening the conveying route of the grain from the sorting and collecting unit to the grain storing unit as much as possible, the grain storing unit is selected and collected with respect to the threshing unit as the lateral side of the threshing device. It is common to install adjacent to the lateral side on the left and right side side where the parts are aligned. For this reason, when the sorting and collecting unit is shifted to the left and right sides of the machine relative to the threshing unit, the lifting conveyor and the grain storage unit must also be shifted to the left and right sides of the machine. Will occur. As a result, there arises a disadvantage that the horizontal width of the combine as a whole becomes large.

  As a means for avoiding the above inconvenience, it is conceivable to narrow the left and right width of the grain storage unit. In this case, the capacity of the grain storage unit is reduced.

  An object of the present invention is to reduce the width of the combine as a whole as much as possible without reducing the capacity of the grain storage unit.

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention,
A threshing unit that performs a threshing process on the harvested cereal by rotating the handle barrel to the threshing device, and a sorting and collecting unit that performs a sorting process on the processed product obtained by the threshing process and collects the grains. , Equipped so that the sorting and collecting unit is located below the threshing unit,
The grain sorted and collected by the sorting and collecting unit is placed in a grain storage unit disposed adjacent to the lateral side of the threshing device via a lifting conveyor that is erected between the threshing device and the grain storage unit. And supply
The sorting and collecting unit is arranged such that the right and left center thereof is located directly under or near the rotation center of the handling cylinder.

  According to this characteristic configuration, the left and right sides of the machine body with respect to the threshing part are separated from the threshing part so that the center of the left and right is separated from the position just below the rotation center of the handling cylinder to the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder. Compared to the case where the one side is shifted to one side, the lifting conveyor and the grain storage unit can be deployed in a state of being close to the threshing device.

  Therefore, the left and right width of the combine as a whole can be reduced without reducing the capacity of the grain storage unit.

In the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, in the invention according to claim 1,
In the grain storage part, a concave part into which a lifting conveyor is engaged is formed on a surface adjacent to the threshing device.

  According to this characteristic configuration, the grain storage unit can be further brought closer to the threshing device, and accordingly, the left and right width of the entire combine can be further reduced. Moreover, if the capacity | capacitance of the grain storage part reduced by formation of a recessed part is expanded and supplemented, for example, the whole area of the surface on the opposite side to the threshing apparatus in a grain storage part will be supplemented as the whole combine It is possible to avoid a decrease in the capacity of the grain storage part while minimizing the left-right width.

  Accordingly, it is possible to further reduce the left-right width of the combine as a whole while suppressing or avoiding a decrease in the capacity of the grain storage unit.

In the invention according to claim 3 of the present invention, in the invention according to claim 1 or 2,
The reaping and conveying device is configured so that the reaping and conveying of a maximum of 3 ridges can be normally performed with 2 lanes,
The left and right crawler type traveling devices are arranged so that the tip ends of the dividers provided at the left and right end portions of the cutting and conveying device substantially coincide with or coincide with the outer side end positions of the corresponding left and right crawler type traveling devices. It is characterized by that.

  According to this feature configuration, middle split work where planted cereals that are not harvested exist on both the left and right sides of the aircraft, and rotary mowing work where planted cereals that are not harvested exist on one side of the aircraft Regardless of whether the left and right crawler-type traveling devices cause the inconvenience of stepping over uncultivated planted cereals, up to three planted cereals existing between the left and right dividers are properly handled by the cutting and conveying device. Can be cut and transported toward the threshing device.

  The treads of the left and right crawler type traveling devices can be used to harvest and convey up to three planted cereals by the harvesting and conveying device without causing the left and right crawler type traveling devices to step on the planted cereals that are not harvested. While setting a relatively short length suitable for enabling, as described above, by reducing the left and right width of the combine as a whole, the tread of the left and right crawler type traveling device and the left and right width of the combine as a whole Can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the inconvenience that the tipping angle of the fuselage is reduced due to the fact that the width of the entire combine increases with respect to the treads of the left and right crawler type traveling devices. Can be improved.

  Here, the aircraft's fall angle is an angle at which the aircraft may tip over when the aircraft is tilted in the left-right direction, and the greater the angle, the higher the stability of the aircraft.

  Therefore, even though it is a small model that harvests up to 3 planted cereals, it does not cause the operator to step over the planted cereals with the left and right crawler-type travel devices, and it does not impair the stability of the aircraft. It is possible to provide a self-decomposing combine that is excellent in workability.

The horizontal width Wa (see FIG. 3) of the combine as a whole can be reduced without lowering.

  As a result, the tread Wb of the crawler type traveling device 4 on the left side is made into a full two-row cutting specification that harvests up to three planted cereals without stepping over uncut cereals (planted cereals that are not to be harvested). While setting a suitable relatively short length, the difference from the left and right width Wa of the entire combine can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the inconvenience that the falling angle of the fuselage is reduced due to the fact that the left and right width Wa of the entire combine is larger than the tread Wb of the left and right crawler type traveling devices 4. The stability of the aircraft can be improved (see FIG. 3).

  Here, the aircraft's fall angle is an angle at which the aircraft may tip over when the aircraft is tilted in the left-right direction, and the greater the angle, the higher the stability of the aircraft.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the transmission case 48 is supported by a support column 75 erected on the left side of the engine 3 in the body frame 1. The arrangement of the transmission case 48 uses the space S formed between the tip guide plate 74 provided in the lower case 31 of the threshing device 6 and the red pepper case 62, so that the transmission case 48 is located at the right front position of the threshing device 6. The threshing device 6 is set so as to be positioned on the lower side of the tip guide plate 74 near the center of the left and right.

  As a result, the transmission case 48 having the first transmission mechanism 49 is removed from between the threshing device 6 and the grain tank 7, and the formation of the boarding operation unit 2 and the arrangement of the engine 3 are performed. It can be provided at a suitable position where transmission from the engine 3 can be easily performed without causing any trouble. As a result, the grain tank 7 can be brought closer to the right side of the threshing device 6 as compared with the case where the transmission case 48 is provided between the threshing device 6 and the grain tank 7.

  And by making the grain tank 7 approach the right side of the threshing device 6, the left and right width Wa of the entire combine can be further reduced without reducing the capacity of the grain tank 7, and the left and right width Wa of the entire combine And the tread Wb of the left and right crawler type traveling devices 4 can be further reduced, and as a result, the stability of the aircraft can be further improved (see FIG. 3).

  Moreover, by arranging the transmission case 48 at a lower position in the threshing device 6 below the tip guide plate 74, the transmission case 48 is positioned above or above the rotation center of the handling cylinder 41 in the threshing device 6. Compared with the case where it is arranged at the upper position, the position of the center of gravity of the combine as a whole can be lowered. As a result, the stability of the fuselage can be further improved by lowering the center of gravity while setting the treads Wb of the left and right crawler type traveling devices 4 to be relatively short lengths suitable for two-row cutting on the entire surface (FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, on the left side of the grain tank 7 adjacent to the threshing device 6, there are a recess 7 </ b> A in which an intermediate portion of the lifting conveyor 68 is engaged, and an upper end portion of the lifting conveyor 68. An opening 7B to be inserted is formed. At the upper end of the lifting conveyor 68, a discharge port 68 </ b> A for supplying the lifted single grain into the grain tank 7 is formed, and a lid 68 </ b> B that closes the opening 7 </ b> B of the grain tank 7 is formed. Equipped.

  From this configuration, the grain tank 7 can be further brought closer to the right side of the threshing device 6, and the left and right width Wa of the entire combine can be further reduced accordingly. As a result, the difference between the left and right width Wa of the entire combine and the tread Wb of the left and right crawler type traveling devices 4 can be further reduced, and as a result, the stability of the fuselage can be improved more effectively (FIG. 3). reference).

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the first transmission mechanism 49 provided in the transmission case 48 is configured in a two-stage reduction type including a first reduction part 76 and a second reduction part 77. The first speed reducing portion 76 includes a small-diameter first bevel gear 79 that rotates integrally with a left-right input shaft 78 provided at the front upper portion of the transmission case 48, and a large-diameter second bevel gear 80 that meshes with the first bevel gear 79. In addition, it is configured to reduce and transmit power to the second reduction portion 77 while converting power that rotates about the left and right axis to power that rotates about the front and rear axis. The second speed reducing unit 77 includes a small-diameter first flat gear 82 that rotates integrally with the second bevel gear 80 via the relay shaft 81, and a large-diameter second flat gear 83 that meshes with the first flat gear 82. The power that rotates around the axial center in the front-rear direction is reduced and transmitted to the second transmission mechanism 50. The second spur gear 83 rotates integrally with a front-rear output shaft 84 provided at the rear lower portion of the transmission case 48.

  That is, the first transmission mechanism 49 is configured to decelerate the power from the engine 3 to the drive speed of the handling cylinder 41. As a result, the center of gravity of the airframe can be lowered as compared with the case where the power from the engine 3 is decelerated to the driving speed of the handling cylinder 41 by the belt transmission type second transmission mechanism 50.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the second transmission mechanism 50 is supported by the first pulley 85 that rotates integrally with the output shaft 84 of the first transmission mechanism 49 and the support shaft 33 of the upper case 32 so as to be relatively rotatable. 2 pulley 86, a third pulley 87 that rotates integrally with the handling cylinder 41, a fourth pulley 88 provided in the upper case 32, a transmission belt 89 that passes between the pulleys 85 to 88, a tension pulley 90, and the like. It is configured to bypass the opening 38 and allow the upper case 32 to swing open and close.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a sheet metal grounding body 91 formed in the shape of a boat in plan view is disposed behind the dividers 22 at the left and right ends of the cutting frame 21. At the front of the machine body frame 1, when the cutting and conveying device 5 is lowered to the work area, the cutting frame 21 is received, and each grounding body 90 is set at a small ground pressure set in advance in the grounding state of the cutting and conveying device 5. A spring-type biasing mechanism 92 that biases the cutting and conveying device 5 in the upward direction so as to be grounded is provided.

  As a result, in the ground cutting state in which the cutting and conveying device 5 is lowered so that each grounding body 91 is grounded, the cutting and conveying device 5 is driven by the ground reaction force against each grounding body 91 and the like that varies according to the undulation of the field. It will automatically move up and down along the undulations. As a result, the height position of the cutting and conveying device 5 becomes too low with respect to the field scene, and thus the inconvenience that each divider 22 thrusts into the field, and the height position of the cutting and conveying device 5 is higher than the field scene. It is possible to easily perform a good harvesting and harvesting work without incurring the inconvenience of high mowing due to being overgrown.

  In particular, at the start of the work of grounding while descending into the field, not only can the inconvenience of each divider 22 thrust into the field due to the action of the biasing mechanism 92, but also the above-mentioned low center of gravity of the machine allows the machine to Can be sloped down into the field in a more stable state.

  In short, it is possible to easily perform a good harvesting and harvesting operation from the stage of starting the operation of descending into the field.

  And by combining this configuration with full mowing, for example, in the middle split work where uncut cereals exist on both the left and right sides of the aircraft, and work in the state where planted cereals are overgrown Even if it is difficult to visually recognize the state of the ground or the spacing between the planted cereals, there is an inconvenience that each divider 22 thrusts into the field, and an inconvenience that the left and right crawler type traveling devices 4 step over the uncut cereals. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform a good harvesting and harvesting operation.

  Incidentally, when the cutting and conveying apparatus 5 is lifted and lowered by the ground reaction force, the lifting and lowering cylinder 30 expands and contracts due to precipitation or dissolution of air that is always dissolved in the hydraulic oil.
