Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a crawler type traveling device in a combine.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Conventionally, in a combine equipped with a crawler type traveling body, when performing mowing work in a soft field such as a wet field, the traveling body on the side of the already cut land has a low crawler trace in the front cutting process as shown in FIG. It was caught in a place or the grain storage section was full of grains and the left and right center of gravity of the traveling machine body was biased toward the grain storage section side, and the traveling machine body was inclined to the cut land side. . For this reason, the traveling aircraft tends to travel with the slope side constantly, and the driver had to continuously operate the steering lever so as to face the uncut area. In addition, if the traveling machine leans toward the already-cut area, the pre-treatment section itself for cutting the stems also tilts, and the cutting height fluctuates from side to side, leaving it unhandled in the subsequent threshing work, or This will increase the threshing load. In addition, in the case of lodging culm, the pretreatment section is especially lowered to try to cause the grain culms without leakage, but when the pretreatment section is lowered, the cutting blade on the sloped slaughtered land side is reduced. Since the muddy soil must be cut, the pretreatment section cannot be lowered below the specified amount.Therefore, the grass cuttings on the uncut land side or the raising device must be lifted without stopping the mowing work. However, the work efficiency was markedly reduced due to the leakage caused by the grain culm.

Therefore, when the combine fuselage tilts to the left and right, crawler type traveling devices provided on both the left and right sides of the fuselage are individually raised and lowered with respect to the fuselage to hold the fuselage horizontally. As is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-145724, in this one, when the machine body is tilted to the left and right, support rods provided on the left and right and front and rear sides of the machine body are provided with crawler type traveling devices provided on both left and right sides of the machine body. Similarly, since the hydraulic cylinder devices provided on the left and right and the front and rear are respectively configured to move up and down with respect to the machine body, the cost of the device itself is relatively high and the control is complicated. Also, when the traveling body on the side of the already-cut land is fitted into the recess of the field, only the traveling device on the side where it is embedded is moved up and down, and when it escapes from the recess, only the traveling device on that side is moved upward. By raising and lowering, the aircraft can be maintained horizontally, and the cutting height of the pretreatment section for the field scene can be kept constant before and after the raising and lowering adjustments. It is not possible to determine whether the traveling body is stuck in the concave or convex portion or is riding on top of it.Temporarily, raising or lowering the traveling device on the opposite side of the uncut land or contradictory to the left and right traveling devices. If it is moved up and down, the height of the pretreatment section with respect to the field scene will fluctuate overall, and there is a risk that the pretreatment section will have to be moved up and down again to adjust the cutting height again. .

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances to provide a crawler type traveling device in a combine capable of eliminating these drawbacks. In the combine with the pre-treatment section at the front of the traveling machine, the threshing section at the uncut side, and the driver's seat and the grain storage section at the already cut side, Among the traveling bodies, only the traveling body on the slaughtered land side is linked by the front and rear link mechanism that extends between the traveling frame and the body frame that make up the traveling body, and the single working cylinder that is connected between the body frame and the link mechanism. It is characterized in that it is provided on the body side of the machine body so that its position can be adjusted, and is independently displaced downward with respect to the running body on the uncut area.

[0005]

[Action]

 With this configuration, the present invention allows the running body on the side of the cut land to get stuck in a low place such as a crawler trace in the previous work process, or the storage amount of the grain in the grain storage section increases, and the running body is already installed. When leaning toward the cut-off side, adjust only the moving body on the cut-off side toward the bottom to correct the attitude of the fuselage to a substantially horizontal state. If, as a result of escape from the recess or discharge of the grain from the grain storage part, the machine leans toward the uncut area, only the running vehicle on the cut land side should be adjusted upward. Return the aircraft to its original horizontal position. As described above, according to the present invention, the running device on the cut land side is fitted into a low place such as a crawler mark in the previous work stroke, or the harvested grain is increased so that the left and right center of gravity of the machine body are set on the cut land side. By adopting a configuration in which only the traveling body on the trimmed land, which is the main cause of the machine body tilting factor that fluctuates, is positionally adjustable on the machine body side, only the traveling body on the machine body tilting factor side is adopted. It is designed so that the traveling machine can be maintained in a horizontal state by performing accurate lifting control.

Therefore, according to the present invention, of the left and right crawler-type traveling bodies, only the traveling body on the already-cut-ground side is linked to the front and rear link mechanisms extending between the traveling frame and the body frame, and between the body frame and the link mechanism. The position of the traveling machine can be controlled horizontally by installing the position adjustment on the machine body side with a single connected operating cylinder.Therefore, the left and right crawler type traveling machines can be individually adjusted in position. This will enable a significant cost reduction compared to what is provided. In addition, the present invention fixes the traveling body on the uncut area side to the body side of the machine body so that the leakage caused by the grass body or the raising device on the uncut area side is suppressed as much as possible, and further when the machine body tilts. In this method, only the moving body on the side of the already cut land is moved up and down, and the pretreatment section is returned to the horizontal state.Therefore, the fluctuation of the cutting height on the left and right is reduced and the cutting work of the fall culm can be performed efficiently. It is designed so that the work can be performed, and the left and right traveling bodies are individually adjusted in position, the cutting height is changed before and after the adjustment, and the cutting height is readjusted again. Is eliminated.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a combine traveling machine body. The traveling machine body 1 includes a pretreatment section 2 provided with a grass body 2a, a raising device 2b, a cutting blade 2c and the like at a front portion, and a threshing section 3 at an uncut side. Further, as in the conventional case, the grain storage unit 4, the driver's seat 6, and the post-treatment unit 5 and the like are disposed on the side of the cut land and on the rear side, respectively. Reference numerals 7 and 8 denote crawler-type traveling bodies on the cut-side and uncut-side, respectively. The drive sprockets 9 and 9a of both the traveling bodies 7 and 8 are divided into left and right drive shafts 11 in the mission case 10. , 11a are interlocked with each other, and are driven separately by the dynamic force from the engine (not shown) side. The axle case 12 of the already-cut land side traveling body 7 is an axle holder fixed to the mission case 10. 14 is rotatably supported by a bearing 13 via a bearing 13, and the axle case 15 of the uncut land side traveling body 8 is integrally fixed to the axle holder 14 side by a bolt 15a.

On the other hand, reference numerals 16 and 17 denote support arms vertically hung on both front and rear sides of the machine body frame 1a of the traveling machine body 1. At the lower ends of the support arms 16 and 17, pedestals 18 and 19 are supported. ing. Brackets 22 and 23 are rotatably attached to distal end boss portions 20a and 21a of link arms 20 and 21 which are rotatably supported on the ends of the pedestals 18 and 19 on the side of the cut land. The bracket 22, which is fitted but pivotally supported on the front link arm 20, has the front end portion of the traveling frame 25 pivotally connected, and is also connected to the axle case 12 on the already-cutted land side via the arm 24. Has been done. On the other hand, the rear bracket 23 is pivotally connected to the rear end portion of the traveling frame 25 via the arm 24a, whereby the cut-ground side traveling body 7 uses the pedestals 18 and 19 as a pivot shaft. In addition, the link arms 20 and 21 are attached to the traveling machine body 1 side by a parallel link mechanism that serves as a link rod, so that the link arms 20 and 21 can be displaced in parallel to the front side downward with respect to the uncut land side traveling body 8. There is. Further, 26 is an operating cylinder having one end pivotally connected to the machine body frame 1a, and the other end of the operating cylinder 26 is connected to the boss portion 20b of the front link arm 20 via the operating arm 27a. In the state where the operating cylinder 26 is contracted, the cut-ground side traveling body 7 is located at the same position as the un-cut-ground side traveling body 8, but the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 29 is operated by operating the operating lever 28. By being press-fitted into the operating cylinder 26 and extended, the already-cut land-side traveling body 7 can be adjusted to move relative to the uncut-land side traveling body 8 toward the lower front side. In the figure, 30 is a switching valve that is switched by operating the operating lever 28.

In the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the stem culms cut by the pretreatment unit 2 are threshed by the threshing unit 3 and then the posttreatment unit 5 as the traveling machine body 1 travels. The grain that has been appropriately post-treated with the above-mentioned method and discharged to the outside of the machine and then threshed is temporarily stored in the grain storage unit 4. 7 may get caught in the crawler traces generated during the front cutting process. Further, as the grain is stored in the grain storage unit 4 as the mowing work is performed, the machine body center of gravity is displaced to the right side, and the traveling machine body is inclined to the already-cut area. In this case, according to the present invention, the operation lever 28 is operated to extend the operating cylinder 26 so that the already-cut land-side traveling body 7 is relatively moved toward the lower front side with respect to the uncut-land side traveling body 8. Then, the body 1 is corrected so as to be substantially horizontal. That is, when the cut land side traveling body 7 gets stuck in the crawler trace of the previous stroke or the number of grains increases in the grain storing section 4, the traveling machine body 1 becomes in an unstable traveling state in which the cut land side is inclined low. When the operating lever 28 is operated to extend the operating cylinder 26, the operating arm 27a is pushed forward to forcibly rotate the link arm 20 around the pedestal 18, which results in the crawler mark. The already cut land side traveling body 7 which is fitted in the front and rear pedestals 18 and 19 makes relative movement to the front lower side with respect to the uncut land side traveling body 8 with the link support shafts, and the inclination of the traveling body 1 is eliminated. It By returning the operation lever 28 to the neutral position at the time when the traveling body 1 is in a substantially horizontal posture, the traveling body 1 does not substantially move even if the cut land side traveling body 7 is stuck in the crawler mark. The horizontal posture is maintained, and the harvesting work can be performed in a stable work posture.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the already-cut land-side traveling body 7 is inclined due to being caught in the crawler mark in the previous work stroke or inclined, By adjusting the displacement of the ground-side traveling body 8 up and down, it is possible to maintain the traveling machine body 1 in a substantially horizontal posture in a stable traveling state while keeping the cut-ground-side traveling body 7 in the crawler trace. Therefore, there is no need to operate the traveling machine body 1 with the steering lever so that the traveling machine body 1 is always directed to the uncut area, and the machine body center of gravity is not biased to an unstable traveling state as in the past. The cutting height of the pre-processing unit 2 also does not fluctuate before and after the adjustment by accurately controlling the moving body 7 on the cutting ground side on the fluctuation factor side. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the point is that the traveling body on the already cut land side can be moved downward relative to the traveling body on the uncut land side. However, the vertical movement of the running body on the cut land side is not manually moved by the operation lever, but is automatically detected by the horizontal detection by the attitude detection sensor provided on the machine body. It is also possible to perform vertical control of the traveling body.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 In short, since the present invention is configured as described above, the moving body on the side of the cut land may get stuck in a low place such as a crawler mark in the previous work process, or the amount of storage in the grain storage part may increase. When the traveling body leans toward the cut-off land side, only the moving body on the cut-off land side can be independently adjusted downward so as to be able to maintain the aircraft attitude in a substantially horizontal state. If the machine leans toward the uncut area on the contrary, or if the machine is tilted to the uncut area, the displacement adjustment is performed only for the running body on the cut area side. Since the aircraft can be returned to the original horizontal state, the driver does not have to frequently operate the traveling aircraft to face the uncut area, and can always carry out the cutting operation in a stable posture. . Further, the present invention is a machine in which the traveling device on the side of the cut land is fitted in a low place such as a crawler mark in the previous work stroke, or the position of the center of gravity of the body changes to the side of the cut land due to the increase of harvested grains. Since most of the factors that cause the left-right inclination of the left and right sides of the crawler-type traveling body are adopted, only the traveling body on the side of the cut land, which is the cause of that, can be positionally adjusted on the body side of the body. Since it is not necessary to install a lifting device for the moving body on the left and right, as it is possible to adjust the position separately for each, it is possible to greatly reduce the cost. In addition, the running body on the uncut land side is fixed in position on the machine body side, and the fluctuation of cutting height on the uncut land side of the pretreatment section is suppressed to a minimum, and the running body on the cut land side is adjusted according to the tilt of the machine body. Since the pretreatment section is returned to the horizontal state by raising and lowering only the traveling body, there is little variation in the cutting height between the left and right before and after the adjustment, and therefore there is no need to re-adjust the cutting height. Also, it is possible to efficiently perform the work of harvesting the fall culm.
