That is, FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view mainly showing the part of such a combine harvester that performs reaping or threshing, and in which the weeding bodies 2a to 2e supported by rod-shaped weeding rods 1a to 1e protrude forward and are fixed. As the combine moves forward, the grass branches 2a~
Grain culms pushed apart by 2e are divided into cutting rods 1a to 1e.
The grains are cut by a clipper-like reaping section 3 installed just below the combine, and then transported above the combine by a chain-like grain conveyor 4 to a separately installed section. After being supplied to the grain conveying chain 5, the grain is inserted into a threshing section 6 by its rotational movement, and the ears are threshed by a rotating handling cylinder 7 similar to a general threshing machine.

In addition, when threshing, if the relative relationship of the ears to the handling barrel 7 is too deep or too shallow, complete threshing will not be achieved. An ear tip sensor SFS and a ear tip sensor SFD are provided to detect the tip and root of the ear, control the supply adjustment section 8 according to the detection status, and adjust the supply status of grain culm to the grain culm conveyance chain 5.

However, in the conventional control unit, the head sensor
The handling depth is controlled in immediate response to the detection force of the SFD and the tip sensor SFS, and the cutting depth is controlled.
Alternatively, if weed fragments, etc. are mixed in and remain in the tip sensor area, causing a detection force, the shallow handling control will continue and proper handling depth control will not be possible. This created problems that made it unsustainable.

The grain culm sensor SFF and the ear tip sensor SFS are off in the non-detection state, and the power supply V is applied to the connection point with the resistors R1 and R2 via the resistor R, and their outputs are “H”. (high level), but the head sensor SFD is on in a non-detecting state, the connection point between resistors R and R3 is grounded, and its output is “L” (low level). It's summery.

Therefore, in the non-detection state of the grain culm sensor SFF, the input inversion type NAND gates G 1 and G 2 are in the OFF state, but when the grain culm sensor SFF detects the grain culm, its output becomes “L”. Therefore, NAND gates G 1 and G 2 enter a standby state in which they turn on when any other input becomes “L”, and the earpiece sensor
If the SFD is in the non-detect state, the NAND gate G 2 passes the pulse output of the pulse generator PG and forward biases the transistor Q 2 through the current limiting resistor R 5 to perform deep handling control. Produces an output FD.

Each of the control outputs FS and FD is inserted into the return path of each solenoid valve, and these solenoid valves supply pressure oil to the hydraulic mechanism, and control the supply adjustment section 8 relative to the grain culm conveying device 4. The vertical inclination is controlled by a hydraulic mechanism, and the supply adjustment unit 8 is controlled from the grain culm conveying device 4
The grain culm holding position when the grain culm is supplied to the grain culm and the grain culm holding position when the grain culm is supplied from the supply adjustment unit 8 to the grain culm conveying device 4 again are changed, and thereby the grain culm conveying chain 5 The gripping position of the grain culm is determined and the handling depth is controlled.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, an exclusive OR (hereinafter EXOR) gate G3 is provided as a gate circuit, and its output is always "H", so
The enable terminal E of the pulse generator PG is activated and pulses are generated, but the tip sensor
When the detection force of SFS is generated and the detection force of head sensor SFD disappears, and both sensors are turned on, these outputs are simultaneously generated as "L",
The output of the EXOR gate G3 changes to "L", thereby causing the pulse generator PG to stop generating pulses, thereby also stopping the automatic control of the treatment depth and preventing unnecessary control.
