Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、コンバインなどに搭載される脱穀装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
クローラを走行手段とする農業用のコンバインの脱穀装置を例に従来の技術を説明する。コンバインはクローラを構成する無限履帯の接地面積を広くし、水田など軟弱な圃場でも自由に走行して刈取作業などの農業作業を可能としている。
【0003】
コンバインは動力源としてエンジンを搭載し、エンジンの発生する動力をコンバインの走行、刈取、脱穀などに使用するが、そのクローラは、エンジンの動力を走行トランスミッションにより変速して駆動する。走行トランスミッションは、静油圧式無段変速装置、歯車列機械的変速手段、差動歯車装置、クラッチ手段、ブレーキ手段などにより構成され、直進走行させるときは、左右一対のクローラを等速で駆動し、コンバインを左右に旋回させるときは、左右のクローラに速度差を与えて駆動し、高速側のクローラを外側に、低速側、停止側または後退側のクローラを内側とする旋回が可能な構成としている。
【0004】
また、エンジンの駆動力を用いて脱穀装置内の扱胴、揺動棚、揚穀螺旋などを駆動させているが、脱穀された穀粒とわらを送風選別するための唐箕を脱穀装置内に配置している。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記脱穀装置内に配置している唐箕による送風で穀粒とわらを選別する場合に、その選別能力を上げようとしても唐箕の設定された選別風量が不足ぎみになる。唐箕の設定最大風量を大きくするためには、唐箕のファンの径を大きくする必要があるが、これを大きくすることはコンバインの機体のサイズを大きくすることになり、小型化の要請の高い時代に逆行することになる。また、唐箕のファンの回転数を上げても選別効率が高くはならず、むしろキャビテーションが発生し、騒音が大きくなる。
【0006】
そこで本発明の課題は、唐箕のファンの径を大きくすることなく、穀粒とわらの送風選別能力を高くしたコンバインなどの脱穀装置を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の上記課題は次の構成によって解決される。請求項1記載の発明は、穀稈から穀粒を分離するための扱胴(69)を備えた扱室(66)と、該扱室(66)を通過した穀稈を処理して得られる被処理物中の二番物を処理する二番処理胴(70)を備えた二番処理室(67)と、該二番処理室(67)の近傍に設けられ、前記扱室(66)を通過した穀稈を処理して得られる被処理物中の主に藁くずを処理する排塵処理胴(71)を備えた排塵処理室(68)と、前記扱室(66)、二番処理室(67)及び排塵処理室(68)から落下する被処理物をふるい分けする揺動棚(51)と、該揺動棚(51)から落下する被処理物を送風選別する唐箕(79)とを設けた脱穀装置において、唐箕(79)の外側であって、前記排塵処理胴(71)及び二番処理胴(70)の配置部とは少なくとも反対側に唐箕(79)内に送風する補助ファン(97)を設け、更に各補助ファン(97)に独立駆動が可能な駆動手段(98、100)を設け、前記補助ファン(97)のうち排塵処理胴(71)及び二番処理胴(70)の配置部とは反対側の補助ファン(97)のみ駆動させて、排塵処理胴(71)及び二番処理胴(70)の配置部とは反対側の補助ファン(97)の風量を排塵処理胴(71)及び二番処理胴(70)の配置部側の補助ファン(97)の風量よりも多くする脱穀装置である。
【0008】
本発明の請求項1記載の発明によれば、唐箕79の外から唐箕79に向け送風する補助ファン97を設けたので、機体のサイズを変えないで、唐箕風量を従来より上げることができる。また、従来は、扱胴69の回転方向前方側である排塵処理胴71と二番処理胴70がある側の揺動棚51上に穀粒の分布がかたよる傾向がある。そのため、請求項1記載の発明によれば、穀粒のより多く溜まりやすい側方部分への選別送風量をその反対側より多くするために、少なくとも排塵処理胴71と二番処理胴70とは反対側に唐箕79内に送風する補助ファン97を設けて、該補助ファン97の風量を排塵処理胴71の配置部側の補助ファン97の風量よりも多くすることで、多く被処理物が溜まった側の揺動棚51に、より多くの送風を送ることができる
【0009】
請求項2記載の発明は、補助ファン97の回転軸97bは唐箕ファン79aの回転軸79bと同軸上に設けて、機体のサイズを変えないで、唐箕風量を従来より上げ、また部品点数を増やさずに済む。
【0010】
請求項3記載の発明は、補助ファン97の回転駆動の入切を手動で行う手動操作手段100を設けたことであり、補助ファン97の起動停止を手動で容易に行える。
【0011】
請求項4記載の発明は、脱穀装置15内の脱穀処理負荷の大きさを検出する負荷検出手段105〜107と、該負荷検出手段105〜107の脱穀処理負荷の大きさに応じて補助ファン97の駆動制御をする制御装置104を設けた構成であり、補助ファン97の駆動の自動化ができる。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
本発明の請求項1記載の発明によれば、機体のサイズと部品点数を多く増やさないで、唐箕風量を従来より上げ、穀粒送風選別能力を高くでき、作業性が良くなる。更に、請求項1記載の発明によれば、穀粒のより多く溜まりやすい排塵処理胴71と二番処理胴70側の揺動棚51とは反対側の唐箕風洞に向け唐箕79の外から送風する補助ファン97の風量を排塵処理胴71の配置部側の補助ファン97の風量よりも多くすることで、多く被処理物が溜まった側の揺動棚51により多量の風を送ることができ、送風選別能力が高まる
【0016】
請求項2記載の発明によれば、補助ファン97の回転軸97bは唐箕ファン79aの回転軸79bと同軸上に設けたため、部品点数を増やさないで唐箕風量を従来より上げることができた。
【0017】
請求項3記載の発明によれば、補助ファン97の回転駆動の入切を手動で行う手動操作手段100を設けたので、オペレータの望み通り起動停止を行うことができる。
【0018】
請求項4記載の発明によれば、負荷検出手段105〜107により補助ファン97の駆動制御を自動化できる。
【0021】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図面と共に説明する。
図1は本発明の実施の形態の穀類の収穫作業を行うコンバインの左側面図を示し、図2はコンバインの正面立面図を示し、図3はコンバインの平面図を示す。
【0022】
図1ないし図3に示すコンバイン1の走行フレーム2の下部には、ゴムなどの可撓性材料を素材として無端帯状に成型した左右一対のクローラ4を持ち、乾田はもちろんのこと、湿田においてもクローラ4が若干沈下するだけで自由に走行できる構成の走行装置3を備え、走行フレーム2の前部には刈取装置6を搭載し、走行フレーム2の上部にはエンジン28(図7)ならびに脱穀装置15、操縦席20およびグレンタンク30を搭載する。
【0023】
刈取装置6は、図示しない刈取昇降シリンダの伸縮作用により刈取装置6全体を昇降して、圃場に植生する穀稈を所定の高さで刈取りができる構成としている。刈取装置6の前端下部に分草具7を、その背後に傾斜状にした穀稈引起し装置8を、その後方底部には刈刃(図示せず)を配置している。刈刃と脱穀装置15のフィードチェーン14の始端部との間に、図示しない前部搬送装置、扱深さ調節装置、供給搬送装置などを順次穀稈の受継搬送と扱深さ調節とができるように配置している。
【0024】
コンバイン1の刈取装置6の作動は次のように行われる。まず、エンジン28を始動して変速用、操向用などの操作レバーをコンバイン1が前進するように操作し、刈取・脱穀クラッチ(図示せず)を入り操作して機体の回転各部を伝動しながら、走行フレーム2を前進走行させると、刈取、脱穀作業が開始される。圃場に植立する穀稈は、刈取装置6の前端下部にある分草具7によって分草作用を受け、次いで穀稈引起し装置8の引起し作用によって倒伏状態にあれば直立状態に引起こされ、穀稈の株元が刈刃に達して刈取られ、前部搬送装置に掻込まれて後方に搬送され、扱深さ調節装置、供給搬送装置に受け継がれて順次連続状態で後部上方に搬送される。
【0025】
穀稈は供給搬送装置からフィードチェーン14の始端部に受け継がれ、脱穀装置15に供給される。脱穀装置15は、上側に扱胴69を軸架した扱室66を配置し、扱室66の下側に選別部50を一体的に設け、供給された刈取穀稈を脱穀、選別する。
【0026】
脱穀装置15に供給された穀稈は、後で詳細に説明するが、主脱穀部である扱室66に挿入され、扱室66に軸架され回転する扱胴69の多数の扱歯69aと、フィードチェーン14による移送と、扱網74との相互作用により脱穀され、被処理物(穀粒や藁くず)は脱穀装置15内の選別部の揺動棚51で受け止められ、上下前後方向に揺動する揺動棚51上を移動しながら、唐箕79からの送風を受けて風力選別され、比重の重い穀粒はシーブ53および選別網63を通過し、一番螺旋65から、搬送螺旋(図示せず)を内蔵している一番揚穀筒16(図1参照)を経てグレンタンク30へ搬送され、グレンタンク30に一時貯留される。図1に示すように一番揚穀筒16の長手方向の軸芯上にタンク本体31aの籾排出口311aと補助タンク31bの籾排出口311bを設けている。
【0027】
脱穀装置15の扱室66の終端に到達した脱穀された残りの穀稈で長尺のままのものは、図示しない排藁チェーンおよび排藁穂先チェーンに挟持されて搬送され、脱穀装置15の後部の藁用カッター92、93(図5)に投入されて切断され、圃場に放出される。
【0028】
グレンタンク30内の底部に穀粒移送用のグレンタンク螺旋(図示せず)を設け、グレンタンク螺旋を駆動する螺旋駆動軸(図示せず)に縦オーガ18および横オーガ19からなる排出オーガを連接し、グレンタンク30内に貯留した穀粒を排出オーガ排出口からコンバイン1の外部に排出する。グレンタンク螺旋、縦オーガ螺旋(図示せず)および横オーガ螺旋(図示せず)は、エンジン28の動力の伝動を受けて回転駆動され、それぞれのラセン羽根のスクリュウコンベヤ作用により貯留穀粒を搬送する。
【0029】
図4はコンバインの脱穀装置15の一部切り欠き側面断面図であり、図5は図4のB−B線矢視の脱穀装置15の平面断面図であり、図6は図4のC−C線矢視の脱穀装置15の立面断面図である。
【0030】
刈取装置6で刈り取った穀稈は刈取装置6に装着された穀稈搬送、調節装置で扱深さが調節され、脱穀装置15の主脱穀部である扱室66の入口66a(図6)から扱室66に挿入される。扱室66に軸架された扱胴69は、その表面に多数の扱歯69aが設けられており、図示しない駆動機構により、エンジン28からの動力が刈取・脱穀クラッチを経て伝動され、図4ないし図6の矢印B方向に回転する。扱室66に挿入された穀粒の付いた穀稈は、レールガイド14cに沿って移動するフィードチェーン14と、スプリング14bで付勢されたフィードチェン挟扼杆14aとの間に挟扼され、図5の矢印A方向に移送されながら、矢印B方向に回転する扱胴69の扱歯69aと扱網74との相互作用により脱穀される。穀稈から分離された被処理物(穀粒や藁くず)は扱網74を矢印C1方向(図6)に通過して、揺動棚51で受け止められる。
【0031】
揺動棚51は図示しない揺動棚駆動機構の作動により上下前後方向に揺動するので、被処理物は矢印D方向(図4)に移動しながら、唐箕79からの送風を受けて風力選別され、比重の重い穀粒はシーブ53および選別網63を矢印E方向に通過し、一番棚板64で集積され、一番螺旋65から一番揚穀筒16(図1)を経てグレンタンク30へ搬送される。グレンタンク30に貯留された穀粒は、オーガ18、19を経由してコンバイン1の外部へ搬送される。
【0032】
揺動棚51の上の被処理物のうち軽量のものは、揺動棚51の揺動作用と唐箕79のファン79aによる送風に吹き飛ばされてシーブ53の上を矢印D方向に移動し、ストローラック62の上で大きさの小さい二番穀粒は矢印G方向に落下して二番棚板85に集められ、二番螺旋86で二番揚穀筒87へ搬送される(図4)。
【0033】
二番穀粒は、正常な穀粒、枝梗粒、藁くずおよび藁くずの中に正常な穀粒が刺さっているササリ粒などの混合物であり、二番揚穀筒87の中を二番揚穀筒ラセン(図示せず)により矢印H方向(図4、図6参照)に揚送されて、二番処理室入口から二番処理室67の上方へ放出される。二番処理室67の下部に軸架する二番処理胴70は図示しない駆動装置により図6の矢印J方向に回転する。二番穀粒は二番処理胴70に植設してある多数の処理歯70a(図4)に衝突しながら矢印I方向に進行する間に二番穀粒の分離と枝梗粒の枝梗の除去を行い、一部の被処理物は二番処理胴受網75から矢印C2方向(図4)に通過して揺動棚51に落下し、大部分の被処理物は二番処理室67の終端から二番処理胴送風羽根70bの送風に送られて矢印C3方向(図4)に揺動棚51に落下して扱室66からの被処理物と合流する。なお、処理歯70aの代わりに螺旋を二番処理胴70に設けても良い。
【0034】
扱室66の被処理物搬送方向終端部に到達した被処理物の中で、藁くずなど短尺のものは、排塵処理室入口68aから矢印A2(図5)方向に投入されて排塵処理室68に入り、排塵処理室68では回転する排塵処理胴71の螺旋71aにより矢印K方向(図5)に搬送されながら処理される。
【0035】
排塵処理室68に入った少量の穀粒を含む藁くずを主体とする被処理物の中の漏下物は受け網76(図6)から二番処理室67の二番処理胴70の上に落ち、該二番処理胴70の回転で二番処理胴70の後方側に周設された処理歯70aによって搬送されて二番処理胴70の前方側に搬送されながら処理されて二番処理胴70の下方に設けられた受け網75を矢印C3方向に通り抜けて揺動棚51の移送棚51a上に送られる。
【0036】
排塵処理室68からの漏下物を二番処理室67でなく、全量揺動棚51へ回収する構成にしても良い。
【0037】
また脱穀装置15は、排塵処理室68から二番処理室67へ漏下した被処理物は二番処理胴70により二番処理室67の前方に搬送され、単粒化処理される。この構成により排塵処理室68から漏下した単粒を含む枝梗粒及び穂切粒は直接二番処理胴70で単粒化され、二番処理室67前方の受網75から揺動棚51に送られて効率的に穀粒を回収できるという効果がある。
【0038】
また、図5に示すように、脱穀装置15の後部に横断流ファン91を設け、排塵処理室68を含む脱穀装置15内で発生する排塵のうち、比重の軽い藁くずおよび塵埃を含む空気を横断流ファン羽根車91aの回転による送風で吸引し、横断流ファン出口91b(図4)から矢印L方向へ吹き出して、コンバイン1の外部へ放出する。
【0039】
横断流ファン91のある室から揺動棚51の終端部に矢印M(図4)のように落ちた排塵の内、やや長めの藁くずはストローラック62で受けとめられ、揺動棚51の揺動運動と、唐箕79の送風力により矢印Fのように揺動棚51の終端部から排出され圃場に放出される。また、排塵のうち二番穀粒、三番穀粒など小径で比重の重いものは、揺動棚51の終端部のストローラック62あるいはシーブ53を矢印G方向へ通過して二番棚板85に落下し、再び二番処理室67において処理される。
【0040】
扱室66を図5の矢印A方向に進行し、扱室66の終端に到達した被処理物の中の脱穀された穀稈(藁)で長尺のままのものは、図5に示す矢印A1方向に搬送され、排藁処理室95に投入される。排藁処理室95で、藁用カッター92、93により細かく切断された切藁は圃場に落下放出される。 また、カッター92で切断しないで藁を自然落下させることもできる。藁用カッター92および93はそれぞれ駆動アクチュエータM3およびM4により制御された回転速度で回転駆動される。
【0041】
前記唐箕79のファン79aは図7の唐箕79が設置された領域のコンバイン平面図及び図8の唐箕79部分のコンバイン正面図に示すように、脱穀装置15の幅方向のほぼ全幅にわたり唐箕ファン79aが設けられているが、穀粒とわらとの選別能力を上げようとすると唐箕ファン79aの風量を高めなければならない。そのためにファン79aの径を大きくすると機体が大きくなり、また、ファン79aの回転数を上げても効率が悪く、キャビテーションを生じて騒音が大きくなる。
【0042】
そこで、本実施の形態では、脱穀装置15の機体枠外に唐箕79に向け送風するターボファン97を設けて、機体のサイズを変えないで、唐箕風量を従来より上げることができた。図7および図8に示すように操縦席20の下方に配置されるエンジン28の動力をプーリ28a、ベルト103とプーリ79cを介して唐箕ファン79aとダーボファン97に伝達するが、唐箕ファン79aの唐箕軸79bを延長してダーボファン97の回転軸とするので、部品点数が大きく増えない利点がある。
【0043】
また、図9に示すように排塵処理胴71及び二番処理胴70を有する脱穀装置15の少なくとも排塵処理胴71とは反対側の機枠外に唐箕79に向け送風するターボファン97を設ける構成でも良い。
【0044】
これは扱胴69の矢印B方向への回転により、排塵処理胴71と二番処理胴70がある側の揺動棚51上に穀粒の分布51aがかたよる傾向がある。そのため、穀粒のより多く溜まりやすい側方部分への選別送風量をその反対側より多くするために排塵処理胴71と二番処理胴70とは反対側の唐箕風洞に向け機外から送風するターボファン97のみを設けることが望ましい。
【0045】
図9の唐箕79部分の正面図に示すように単一のターボファン97を設けると、図9及び図10の唐箕79部分の平面図に示すように矢印X方向にターボファンからの送風が流れ、被処理物が多く溜まった側の揺動棚51により多量の風を送ることができる。
【0046】
また、ターボファン97の駆動を「入」、「切」可能なクラッチ98を設けると、唐箕ファン79aのみの送風(図10の矢印Y)と唐箕ファン79aとターボファン97の送風(図10の矢印X)を加えた場合とに送風量を可変とすることができる。こうして、作物の条件に合わせて送風量を変更することができ、条件適応性が向上する。
【0047】
従来は唐箕ファン79aの回転数を変更して唐箕送風量を調節していたので唐箕送風量が多くなると唐箕風洞が振動していたが、本実施の形態では唐箕ファン79aの回転数を上げなくても全体の送風量をターボファン97の駆動の「入」、「切」で広範囲に送風量を調整できる。また、ターボファン97により強制的に唐箕風洞内に送風するため、唐箕風洞の駆動もなく、容易に唐箕送風量を大きくできる。なお、図7のクラッチ98は手動スイッチ100のオンで起動できる。
【0048】
唐箕79の両側の機外に一対のターボファン97を設ける場合には、「入」、「切」を独立駆動できるようにすることで、▲1▼唐箕ファン79aのみでの送風、▲2▼唐箕ファン79a+1個のターボファン97での送風,▲3▼唐箕ファン79a+2個のターボファン97での送風と3段階の送風量切換が可能となり、作物条件による唐箕風の適応性が向上する。
【0049】
図11のコンバインの一部側面図と図12の唐箕部分の正面図に示すように、唐箕ファン79aとターボファン97との間の唐箕吸引口99部分にシャッタ101を設け、このシャッタ101の開度により唐箕選別送風を調節することができる。シャッタ101を全閉すると唐箕ファン79aによる送風が減少し、シャッタ101を全開すると唐箕ファン79aによる送風とターボファン97の送風を利用できる。ターボファン97の外側にシャッタ101を設ける構成と比べ、シャッタ101の開閉による唐箕選別送風量の調節範囲が大きくなる。
【0050】
図13の唐箕部分の正面図に示すように、唐箕軸79b上に唐箕ファン79a、ターボファン97及びエンジン28からの駆動力を唐箕ファン79aに伝達する入力プーリ79c、唐箕79から選別駆動出力プーリ79dを設け、唐箕軸79b上で唐箕ファン79aの外側に入力プーリ79cと選別駆動出力プーリ79dを配置し、その外側にターボファン97を配置する構成にすると、唐箕軸79bの入力プーリ79cと出力プーリ79dは脱穀装置15の機体枠102に支持された唐箕軸79bの軸受79e近傍に位置することになり、該軸受79eからのオーバハング量が少なくなり、機体強度が上り、また、選別伝動系のベルトなどがレイアウトされた機体枠102に接近してターボファン97の駆動系を配置でき、コンパクトに脱穀装置15を構成できる。また、入力プーリ79cと選別駆動出力プーリ79dの外側にターボファン97を配置することでターボファン97はプーリ79cと選別駆動出力プーリ79dの障害も無く、大気を吸引できて送風効率が向上する。また唐箕軸79bをプーリ79cの外側に配置することにより、そのメンテナンスが容易となる。
【0051】
図14に示す本実施の形態のダーボファン97の制御装置において、脱穀装置15内に設けた穀粒流量、ワラ流量、二番還元穀粒の各流量検出センサ105、106、107の検出値により、前記ターボファン97のクラッチ98を「入」、「切」する構成にすると、脱穀装置15の穀粒処理量が増大するとターボファン97をオンとして唐箕風量を増大させ、穀粒処理量が少ないと唐箕送風量を低下させ、脱穀装置の穀粒処理条件に合った唐箕風量を供給でき、送風選別能力が従来に比べて向上する。なお前記各センサ105〜107の配置位置を図15のコンバイン概略側断面図に示す。
【0052】
コンバインの設定車速範囲に連動させて、▲1▼唐箕ファン79aだけ、▲2▼唐箕ファン79a+第一のターボファン97、▲3▼唐箕ファン79a+第一のターボファン97+第二のターボファン97の3種類の駆動状態に切換え可能な構成にしても良い。この場合には、車速センサ109の検出値により車速を増減速させると脱穀装置15の処理量が増減する。このように車速の変化に伴い、唐箕送風量を段階的に変化させることにより、精度の高い選別を行うこともできる。
【0053】
刈取装置6が上げ位置にある時とコンバインが圃場のコーナ旋回時には脱穀装置15内に被処理物が少なくなり、唐箕風量を下げないと、機体外への籾飛散が多くなるので、図16のフロー図に示すように、コンバインが圃場コーナを旋回する場合にはターボファン97のクラッチ98を「切」とする。あるいは刈取装置6が上げ位置にあるときはターボファン97のクラッチ98を「切」とする。またターボファンクラッチ98を「入」にしてターボファン97での送風を可能にしおき、例えば、圃場コーナ旋回時の脱穀ロスを低減できる。
【0054】
図17に示す脱穀装置15の唐箕部分の正面図と図18の側面図に示すように、唐箕ファン79aの外側に唐箕風洞に向け送風するターボファン97を設け、唐箕ファン79aの回転軸である唐箕軸79bを中空軸としてエンジン28を駆動させ、該中空軸内にターボファンの回転軸97bを設ける。そして唐箕ファン79aの回転速度を一定とするが、ターボファン97の回転数を可変できるように構成しても良い。このとき、ターボファン97の回転速度を可変とすることにより、唐箕ファン79aによる選別風の風量を可変にでき、しかもターボファン97による回転速度制御により風量の変化領域を拡大できる。ターボファン97の回転速度の可変機構として、例えば機体に支持されたベルト式無段変速機113を用いてターボファン97の回転軸97b上のプーリ97cを駆動することで行う。なお、ターボファン97の回転速度の可変機構は前記ベルト式無段変速機113に限らず、可変モータなどを用いても良い。
【0055】
図19には唐箕ファン79aとターボファン97の回転数と選別風の風量の関係が可変することを示すが、選別送風量の可変範囲を従来より大きくすることができる。
【0056】

[0030]
The corn straw harvested by the reaping device 6 is adjusted in the handling depth by the corn straw transporting and adjusting device attached to the reaping device 6, and from the entrance 66 a (FIG. 6) of the handling chamber 66 which is the main threshing portion of the threshing device 15. It is inserted into the handling chamber 66. A handling drum 69 pivoted in the handling chamber 66 has a large number of teeth 69a provided on the surface thereof, and power from the engine 28 is transmitted through a mowing / threshing clutch by a drive mechanism (not shown). Or it rotates in the direction of arrow B in FIG. The cereal with the grain inserted into the handling chamber 66 is sandwiched between the feed chain 14 that moves along the rail guide 14c and the feed chain nip 14a that is biased by the spring 14b. While being transferred in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5, threshing occurs due to the interaction between the teeth 69a of the handle 69 rotating in the direction of arrow B and the handle net 74. The object to be processed (grains and sawdust) separated from the cereals passes through the handling net 74 in the direction of arrow C1 (FIG. 6) and is received by the swing shelf 51.
[0031]
Since the swing shelf 51 swings up and down and back and forth by the operation of a swing shelf drive mechanism (not shown), the object to be processed receives air from the Karatsu 79 while moving in the direction of arrow D (FIG. 4). The grain having a high specific gravity passes through the sheave 53 and the sorting net 63 in the direction of arrow E, and is accumulated on the first shelf 64, and then passes through the first helix 65 to the first cereal cylinder 16 (FIG. 1). It is conveyed to 30. The grains stored in the Glen tank 30 are conveyed to the outside of the combine 1 via the augers 18 and 19.
[0032]
Among the objects to be processed on the swing shelf 51, the lighter ones are blown off by the swing action of the swing shelf 51 and the air blown by the fan 79 a of the Karatsu 79 and move on the sheave 53 in the direction of arrow D, The second small grain on the rack 62 falls in the direction of the arrow G, is collected on the second shelf 85, and is conveyed to the second lifting cylinder 87 by the second spiral 86 (FIG. 4).
[0033]
The second kernel is a mixture of normal kernels, branch stems, crumbs and scorpion grains in which normal grains are stabbed in the crumbs. It is pumped up in the direction of arrow H (see FIGS. 4 and 6) by an uplifted helix helix (not shown) and discharged upward from the second processing chamber 67 through the second processing chamber 67. The second processing cylinder 70 pivoted on the lower portion of the second processing chamber 67 is rotated in the direction of arrow J in FIG. 6 by a driving device (not shown). The second kernel is separated from the second kernel and the branch of the branch stem while traveling in the direction of arrow I while colliding with a number of treatment teeth 70a (FIG. 4) planted in the second treatment barrel 70. A part of the processed material passes through the second processing cylinder receiving net 75 in the direction of the arrow C2 (FIG. 4) and falls to the swing shelf 51, and most processed materials are processed in the second processing chamber. It is sent from the end of 67 to the air blown by the second processing cylinder air blowing blade 70b and falls onto the swing shelf 51 in the direction of arrow C3 (FIG. 4) to join the object to be processed from the handling chamber 66. A spiral may be provided in the second processing cylinder 70 instead of the processing teeth 70a.
[0034]
Among the objects to be processed that have reached the end of the object to be processed conveyance direction of the handling chamber 66, short objects such as scraps are thrown into the direction of arrow A2 (FIG. 5) from the dust removing chamber inlet 68a and are subjected to dust disposal. It enters the chamber 68 and is processed in the dust removal processing chamber 68 while being conveyed in the direction of arrow K (FIG. 5) by the spiral 71a of the rotating dust removal processing cylinder 71.
[0035]
Leakage in the processing object mainly composed of sawdust including a small amount of grains that has entered the dust disposal chamber 68 is transferred from the receiving net 76 (FIG. 6) to the second processing cylinder 70 of the second processing chamber 67. The second processing cylinder 70 is rotated by the rotation of the second processing cylinder 70 and is conveyed by the processing teeth 70a provided on the rear side of the second processing cylinder 70 and is processed while being conveyed to the front side of the second processing cylinder 70. It passes through the receiving net 75 provided below the processing cylinder 70 in the direction of the arrow C3 and is sent onto the transfer shelf 51a of the swing shelf 51.
[0036]
A configuration may be adopted in which the leakage from the dust removal processing chamber 68 is collected not in the second processing chamber 67 but in the entire swing shelf 51.
[0037]
In the threshing device 15, the workpiece leaked from the dust processing chamber 68 to the second processing chamber 67 is transported to the front of the second processing chamber 67 by the second processing cylinder 70 and is processed into a single grain. According to this configuration, branch infarct grains and cut grains including single grains leaked from the dust removal processing chamber 68 are directly made into single grains by the second processing cylinder 70, and are swung from the receiving net 75 in front of the second processing chamber 67. It is sent to 51 and there exists an effect that a grain can be collected efficiently.
[0038]
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, the crossflow fan 91 is provided in the rear part of the threshing apparatus 15, and among the dust discharged | emitted in the threshing apparatus 15 containing the dust removal process chamber 68, the waste and dust with light specific gravity are included. Air is sucked by blowing air by rotation of the cross flow fan impeller 91a, blown out in the direction of arrow L from the cross flow fan outlet 91b (FIG. 4), and discharged to the outside of the combine 1.
[0039]
Of the dust that has fallen as indicated by the arrow M (FIG. 4) from the chamber where the cross-flow fan 91 is located to the end of the swing shelf 51, a slightly longer waste is received by the strola rack 62, and the swing shelf 51 is swung. It is discharged from the end portion of the swing shelf 51 as shown by the arrow F by the dynamic motion and the air blowing force of the Kara 79 and discharged to the field. Further, among the dust particles, those having a small diameter and heavy specific gravity, such as the second grain and the third grain, pass through the Strollac 62 or the sheave 53 at the end of the swing shelf 51 in the direction of the arrow G, and the second shelf board. It falls to 85 and processed in the second processing chamber 67 again.
[0040]
The threshing cereals (cocoons) that have been threshed in the material to be processed that have traveled in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5 and have reached the end of the handling chamber 66 are shown in FIG. It is transported in the A1 direction and put into the waste disposal chamber 95. In the waste disposal chamber 95, the cuttings finely cut by the cutting cutters 92, 93 are dropped and released to the field. Further, the cocoon can be dropped naturally without being cut by the cutter 92. The scissors cutters 92 and 93 are rotationally driven at rotational speeds controlled by drive actuators M3 and M4, respectively.
[0041]
As shown in the combine plan view of the area where the tang 79 is installed in FIG. 7 and the combine front view of the tang 79 portion of FIG. 8, the fan 79 a of the tang 79 has a tang fan 79 a over the entire width of the threshing device 15. However, in order to increase the ability to select grain and straw, the air volume of the Kara fan 79a must be increased. Therefore, if the diameter of the fan 79a is increased, the body becomes larger, and even if the rotational speed of the fan 79a is increased, the efficiency is poor, and cavitation occurs, resulting in increased noise.
[0042]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the turbo fan 97 for blowing air toward the tang 79 is provided outside the machine frame of the threshing device 15, and the tang air volume can be increased more than before without changing the size of the machine. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the power of the engine 28 disposed below the cockpit 20 is transmitted to the tang fan 79a and the dowel fan 97 via the pulley 28a, the belt 103 and the pulley 79c. Since the shaft 79b is extended to serve as the rotating shaft of the dowel fan 97, there is an advantage that the number of parts does not increase greatly.
[0043]
Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a turbo fan 97 for blowing air toward the red pepper 79 is provided outside the machine frame on the opposite side of the threshing device 15 having the dust removal treatment cylinder 71 and the second treatment cylinder 70. It may be configured.
[0044]
This tends to be due to the distribution 51a of the grain on the swing shelf 51 on the side where the dust removal cylinder 71 and the second cylinder 70 are located due to the rotation of the barrel 69 in the direction of arrow B. Therefore, in order to increase the amount of air sent to the side portion where more grains are likely to accumulate than the opposite side, air is blown from the outside of the machine toward the Karatsu wind tunnel on the opposite side of the dust removal treatment cylinder 71 and the second treatment cylinder 70. It is desirable to provide only the turbo fan 97.
[0045]
When a single turbo fan 97 is provided as shown in the front view of the Karatsu 79 portion of FIG. 9, the air blown from the turbo fan flows in the direction of the arrow X as shown in the plan views of the Karatsu 79 portion of FIGS. A large amount of wind can be sent by the swing shelf 51 on the side where a large amount of workpieces are accumulated.
[0046]
Further, when the clutch 98 capable of “turning on” and “turning off” the turbo fan 97 is provided, the air blown only by the red fan 79a (arrow Y in FIG. 10), the air blown by the red fan 79a and the turbo fan 97 (in FIG. 10). The amount of blown air can be made variable when the arrow X) is added. In this way, the air flow rate can be changed according to the conditions of the crop, and the condition adaptability is improved.
[0047]
Conventionally, the rotation speed of the tang fan 79a is changed to adjust the tang fan air flow rate, so that the tang fan wind tunnel vibrates when the tang fan fan volume increases, but in this embodiment, the rotation speed of the tang fan fan 79a is not increased. Even in this case, it is possible to adjust the air flow rate over a wide range by turning the turbo fan 97 on and off. Further, since the turbo fan 97 forcibly blows air into the Tanggu wind tunnel, it is possible to easily increase the amount of Tang air blowing without driving the Tanggu wind tunnel. Note that the clutch 98 in FIG. 7 can be activated when the manual switch 100 is turned on.
[0048]
When a pair of turbofans 97 are provided outside the two sides of the Kara 79, “On” and “Off” can be driven independently, so that (1) the fan only with the Kara fan 79a, (2) It is possible to switch between three levels of air flow with the tang fan 79a + one turbo fan 97, (3) air with the tang fan 79a + two turbo fans 97, and the adaptability of the tang wind according to crop conditions is improved.
[0049]
As shown in the partial side view of the combine of FIG. 11 and the front view of the tang portion of FIG. 12, a shutter 101 is provided at the tang suction port 99 portion between the tang fan 79 a and the turbo fan 97, and the shutter 101 is opened. Depending on the degree, it is possible to adjust the selection of tangs. When the shutter 101 is fully closed, the air blown by the red fan 79a is reduced, and when the shutter 101 is fully opened, the air blown by the hot fan 79a and the air blown by the turbo fan 97 can be used. Compared with the configuration in which the shutter 101 is provided outside the turbo fan 97, the adjustment range of the Kara sorting air volume by opening and closing the shutter 101 becomes larger.
[0050]
As shown in the front view of the tang portion in FIG. 13, on the tang shaft 79b, an input pulley 79c for transmitting driving force from the tang portion fan 79a, the turbo fan 97 and the engine 28 to the tang portion fan 79a, and a sorting drive output pulley from the tang portion 79. 79d, an input pulley 79c and a sorting drive output pulley 79d are arranged outside the red fan 79a on the red shaft 79b, and a turbo fan 97 is arranged outside the input pulley 79c. The pulley 79d is positioned in the vicinity of the bearing 79e of the rod shaft 79b supported by the body frame 102 of the threshing device 15, the amount of overhang from the bearing 79e is reduced, the body strength is increased, and the selection transmission system The drive system of the turbo fan 97 can be placed close to the fuselage frame 102 on which the belts are laid out. You can configure devices 15. Further, by disposing the turbo fan 97 outside the input pulley 79c and the sorting drive output pulley 79d, the turbo fan 97 can suck the atmosphere without the obstacle of the pulley 79c and the sorting drive output pulley 79d, and the blowing efficiency is improved. In addition, the maintenance is facilitated by disposing the rod shaft 79b outside the pulley 79c.
[0051]
In the control device of the darbo fan 97 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the detected values of the flow rate detection sensors 105, 106, 107 of the grain flow rate, the straw flow rate, and the second reduced kernel provided in the threshing device 15, When the clutch 98 of the turbofan 97 is configured to be “ON” and “OFF”, when the grain processing amount of the threshing device 15 increases, the turbofan 97 is turned on to increase the amount of tangy wind, and the grain processing amount is small. It reduces the amount of air blown by tang and can supply the amount of tang bream that matches the grain processing conditions of the threshing device, improving the air blowing sorting ability compared to the conventional method. The arrangement positions of the sensors 105 to 107 are shown in the combine schematic side sectional view of FIG.
[0052]
In conjunction with the combined vehicle speed range, (1) Kara fan 79a only, (2) Kara fan 79a + first turbo fan 97, (3) Kara fan 79a + first turbo fan 97 + second turbo fan 97 It may be configured to be switchable to three types of driving states. In this case, when the vehicle speed is increased or decreased by the detection value of the vehicle speed sensor 109, the processing amount of the threshing device 15 increases or decreases. In this way, it is possible to perform highly accurate sorting by changing the amount of air blown in steps with the change in vehicle speed.
[0053]
When the harvesting device 6 is in the raised position and when the combine is turning in the corner of the field, there is less work to be processed in the threshing device 15, and if the amount of tang wind is not reduced, soot spreads outside the machine body. As shown in the flow chart, when the combine turns the field corner, the clutch 98 of the turbo fan 97 is set to “disengaged”. Alternatively, when the mowing device 6 is in the raised position, the clutch 98 of the turbo fan 97 is set to “disengaged”. Further, the turbo fan clutch 98 is set to “ON” so that the air can be blown by the turbo fan 97, and for example, the threshing loss at the time of turning the field corner can be reduced.
[0054]
As shown in the front view of the tang portion of the threshing device 15 shown in FIG. 17 and the side view of FIG. 18, a turbo fan 97 for blowing air toward the tang portion wind tunnel is provided outside the tang portion fan 79a, which is the rotational axis of the tang portion fan 79a. The engine 28 is driven with the hollow shaft 79b as a hollow shaft, and a rotating shaft 97b of a turbofan is provided in the hollow shaft. The rotational speed of the tang fan 79a is constant, but the rotational speed of the turbo fan 97 may be variable. At this time, by making the rotational speed of the turbo fan 97 variable, it is possible to make the air volume of the selected wind by the tang fan 79 a variable, and further, by changing the rotational speed by the turbo fan 97, it is possible to expand the air volume change region. As a mechanism for changing the rotational speed of the turbo fan 97, for example, a belt-type continuously variable transmission 113 supported by the airframe is used to drive a pulley 97c on a rotating shaft 97b of the turbo fan 97. The variable mechanism for the rotational speed of the turbo fan 97 is not limited to the belt type continuously variable transmission 113, and a variable motor or the like may be used.
[0055]
FIG. 19 shows that the relationship between the rotational speed of the tang fan 79a and the turbo fan 97 and the air volume of the selected air is variable, but the variable range of the selected air flow can be made larger than in the past.
[0056]
A transmission pulley for the continuously variable transmission 113 is positioned in the vicinity of the bearing supported by the machine frame of the threshing device 15 by the continuously variable transmission 113, and an overhang from the machine frame / bearing 79 e to the continuously variable transmission 113. The amount is reduced and the machine frame strength is improved. Further, by disposing the turbo fan 97 outside the continuously variable transmission 113, the turbo fan 97 can suck the atmosphere without obstruction of the pulley 79d, and the blowing efficiency is improved.
[0057]
The belt type continuously variable transmission 113 can continuously change the size of one rotation of the endless belt by continuously changing the distance between the pair of pulleys 97c by a motor, and the actuator (motor) 114 for the endless belt can be continuously changed. The magnitude of one revolution of 115 can be adjusted.
