Description
This invention relates to an improved pressure air manifold and outlets system for a grain header or harvester cutting plat-form, of the type having a frame, a cutter bar assembl~ and a feed auger.
It has been known for many years that if a grain harvester or header cutting platform is fitted with a low pressure centri-fugal blower or compressor and manifold, having a number of outlet tubes the openings of which ~ace rearwardly and are 10. situated forwardly of the cutter bar assembly, the cut crop can be assisted in its movement over the cutting platform and into the feed auger a-t the rear end thereof. This arrangement is intended to eliminate the need for a reel on "open" machines or the knife auger or fiail on "closed" front headers, but the 15. system has not come into use because of the difficulty of satis-factorily transporting the cut crop to the main throat of the machine for further processing.
Another difficulty which has been encountered has been a very considerable loss which has been occasioned on prior art 20. machines wherein the air discharge tubes are positioned forwardly of the cutter bar assembly, due to "shatter" of the crop if harvested under dry conditions. For example, in the U.S. patent
It has been known for many years that if a grain harvester or header cutting platform is fitted with a low pressure centri-fugal blower or compressor and manifold, having a number of outlet tubes the openings of which ~ace rearwardly and are 10. situated forwardly of the cutter bar assembly, the cut crop can be assisted in its movement over the cutting platform and into the feed auger a-t the rear end thereof. This arrangement is intended to eliminate the need for a reel on "open" machines or the knife auger or fiail on "closed" front headers, but the 15. system has not come into use because of the difficulty of satis-factorily transporting the cut crop to the main throat of the machine for further processing.
Another difficulty which has been encountered has been a very considerable loss which has been occasioned on prior art 20. machines wherein the air discharge tubes are positioned forwardly of the cutter bar assembly, due to "shatter" of the crop if harvested under dry conditions. For example, in the U.S. patent
2,670,586 (C.M. Phillips~ there is described and illustrated a pneumatic attachment having pipes which depend from a manifold 25. and terminate at their lower ends in fan shaped air nozzles.
.~ - 2 -.
These are located forwardly of a cutter bar assembl~, and in use under very dry conditions would so interfere with a standing crop as to cause considerable loss due to "shatter". However it is deemed desirable to harvest crops under dry conditions to 5- ensure a low moisture content o~ the grain, and at the time of writing this specification, official figures in Australia indi-cate an average loss of about $38.00 per acre (about $84.00 per hectare) due to the crop being shattered, even without the use of such devices in front of the cutter bar-assembly. This loss 10. is still further increased if there are obstructions to the crop forward of the cutter bar assemblyl for example, as illustrated in said U.S. patent 2,670,586, and much of the shattered crop is wasted by not passing through the harvester or header machine.
The main object of this invention therefore is to provide 15. an improved system wherein use is made of an air manifold and outlet tubes extending therefrom, arranged in such a way as to asslst the transporting of the headed crop across the cutting platform of a grain header or harvester so effectively that the need is abolished for use of a reel, and ~he loss due to shatt-20. ering of the crop is substantially reduced.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly in this invention a pressure air manifold and outlets system fox a grain-header or harvester utilises a mani-fold whiGh extends across and above a cutting platform of the 25. machine, the manifold being adjustable for height, and being provided with a plurality of outlet tubes which depend from the ~, .
l~ ti'h manifold and which terminate above the cutter bar assembly but rearwardly of the front edge thereof, each outlet manifold being directed to dis¢harge in a rearward direction, and a blower to impart an air flow through the manifold to discharge 5- through the outlet tubes.
- With this arrangement, the crop is severed by the cutter bar before being subject to the air blast from the outlet tubes, and any shattering of the crop due to the action of the cutter bar assembly will not result in such a heavy loss 10. as occasioned by previously known machines, some at least of the shattered heads being entrained in the air flow. Particularly if the air blast is at high velocity, some of the air in front of the manifold and outlets systems wlll be entrained with the airblast and it has been found that the crop is much more 15. effectively transported with much less loss than with previously proposed machines.
Another of the problems which has been encountered here-tofore has been the Ioss due to the cut crop being directed solely in a rearward direction without any assistance in change 20. of direction, and some of the~particulate portions of the headed crop will bounce off the hard surfaces of the-cutter platform and be lost, and to still further improve the-efficiency of the device, in one embodiment the outlet tubes are 90 arranged that the air being discharged therefrom has a lateral , 25- - component of movement directing the headed crop at least par-tially in a lateral direction which assists the action of the feed auger and is found to avoid bunching and thinning. It also results in a much smoother flow of crop through the remainder of the grain header or harvester, and thereby more efficient threshing.
S Experiments have indicated that one of the problems encountered with previously proposed pneumatic attachments has been the relatively low velocity of the air streams issuing from the outlet tubes has been insuff~cient to ensure effective transport of the headed grain, and in one embodiment of the 10. invention, air is discharged at a pressure of at least twelve inches or 300 mm water gauge (at about 40 m per second), and preferably at more than 400 mm pressure gauge (170 feet per second or 50 m per second). -More specifically, in this invention, an improved lS. pressure air manifold and outlet system for a grain header -or harvester cutting platform having a frame, a cutter bar assembly and a feed auger, comprises:
a pair of support arms projecting forward, one from each - end of the cutting platform, 20. a manifold extending across and above the cutting plat-form, pivot means joining the front ends~of said arms to said manifold and the rear ends of said arms to said header frame, and elevating means coupling at least one of said arms to said 25. header frame, .
a plurality of outlet tubes depending from said manifold and terminating above said cutter bar assembly and rearwardly of the front edge thereof, each said outlet tube being directed to discharge in a rearward direction, and 5~ a blower, drive means coupled to the blower, and conduit means coupling said blower to said manifold such that upon blower operation said outlet ~ubes discharge air rearwardly over the cutting platform towards the auger.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DRAWINGS
10. An embodiment of the invention is described hereunder in some detail with reference to and is illustrated in the accompanylng drawings in which:

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is an end elevation of Fig. 4.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
_ - In the illustrated embodiment, a grain header or harvester machine 10 is provided with a support arm 11 at each end 25. pivotted with a respective pivot 12 to the frame 13 of the grain header 10, and projecting forwardly therefrom. At each end there is also provided an elevating cylinder 14, and the ' arrangement thus ~ar described is standard ~or the machine shown, the two arms 11 normally carrying between them a reel which is rendered unnecessary by this invention.
In this invention a second forwardly projecting arm 18 5- substantially parallel to the support arm 11 is pivGtted at its rear end with a pivo~ 19 to the frame 13, and the two arms at each end are pivotted with respect to pivots 20 and 21 to a relatively large tran~versely extending manifold 22. This arrangement limits tilting of the manifold during raising or lO. lowering. The manifold 22 is provided with at least one verti-cally extending wall 23 which imparts considerable strength.
It should bé noted that if the machine is driven at high speed over rough terrain, the manifold 22 is subject to high inertia forces and it is necessary to ensure the construction is 15. sufficiently strong to withstand such forces. The vertical wall 23 and the near vertical front wall 24 are effective in achieving this result.
The manifold 22 is constructed from three portions which are bolted together, the portions being jolned with contiguous 20. face to face flanges 25, this arrangement greatly facilitates handling of the otherwlse very bulky manifold in transport from a store to a farm.
The manifold 22 is provided with a plurality of depending outlet tubes 28, each threadably engaging a sleeve 29 at the 25. upper end of the tube 28, the thread in this embodiment being of the tapered type so that the outlet tubes can be oriented to best assist the transport of discrete material over the cutting platform 30 of the header lQ, and are unlikely to be dislodged. In the illustrated example, there is a central throat (not shown) and the eed auger 31 feeds ~owards that 5- throat, one part of the auger having a left hand spiral and the other a right hand spiral. sy correct orientation of the outlet tubes 28, an initial lateral component of movement can be imparted to the severed grain heads as they move rearwardly over the cutting platform 30. This is found to be very effec-lO. tive in reducinq bunching or thinning and providing a smooth even ~ low of grain through the machine.
The machine is provided with a blower 33 driven by a driving belt 34, and the type of blower, speed of rotation and the conduit sizes are so adjusted that there exists in lS. the manifold 22 a pressure which exceeds twelve inches or 300 mm of water gauge, this corresponding with a discharge rate of about 40 metres per second from the outlet tubes 28.
In some instances it is desirable to arrange baffles within the manifold to improve consistency of flow rate through the outlet 20. tubes 28. The manifold ends can be made removable to facilitate manifold cleaning. It is in fact preferred that much higher pressures and speeds be used, and for average light conditions the minimum pressure should be in the order of 400 mm of water gaugè which corresponds to about 50 metres per second discharge 25. rate, while for heavier crops, a minimum of 500 mm water pressure in the manifold is deemed necessary, with a corres-pondingly high increase in discharge velocity. The feature of ;

These are located forwardly of a cutter bar assembl~, and in use under very dry conditions would so interfere with a standing crop as to cause considerable loss due to "shatter".

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
_ - In the illustrated embodiment, a grain header or harvester machine 10 is provided with a support arm 11 at each end 25. pivotted with a respective pivot 12 to the frame 13 of the grain header 10, and projecting forwardly therefrom. At each end there is also provided an elevating cylinder 14, and the ' arrangement thus ~ar described is standard ~or the machine shown, the two arms 11 normally carrying between them a reel which is rendered unnecessary by this invention.
In this invention a second forwardly projecting arm 18 5- substantially parallel to the support arm 11 is pivGtted at its rear end with a pivo~ 19 to the frame 13, and the two arms at each end are pivotted with respect to pivots 20 and 21 to a relatively large tran~versely extending manifold 22. This arrangement limits tilting of the manifold during raising or lO. lowering. The manifold 22 is provided with at least one verti-cally extending wall 23 which imparts considerable strength.

The vertical wall 23 and the near vertical front wall 24 are effective in achieving this result.
The manifold 22 is constructed from three portions which are bolted together, the portions being jolned with contiguous 20. face to face flanges 25, this arrangement greatly facilitates handling of the otherwlse very bulky manifold in transport from a store to a farm.
The manifold 22 is provided with a plurality of depending outlet tubes 28, each threadably engaging a sleeve 29 at the 25. upper end of the tube 28, the thread in this embodiment being of the tapered type so that the outlet tubes can be oriented to best assist the transport of discrete material over the cutting platform 30 of the header lQ, and are unlikely to be dislodged.

This is found to be very effec-lO. tive in reducinq bunching or thinning and providing a smooth even ~ low of grain through the machine.
The machine is provided with a blower 33 driven by a driving belt 34, and the type of blower, speed of rotation and the conduit sizes are so adjusted that there exists in lS. the manifold 22 a pressure which exceeds twelve inches or 300 mm of water gauge, this corresponding with a discharge rate of about 40 metres per second from the outlet tubes 28.

It is in fact preferred that much higher pressures and speeds be used, and for average light conditions the minimum pressure should be in the order of 400 mm of water gaugè which corresponds to about 50 metres per second discharge 25. rate, while for heavier crops, a minimum of 500 mm water pressure in the manifold is deemed necessary, with a corres-pondingly high increase in discharge velocity. The feature of ;

a high speed air blast discharging from the outlet tubes 28, together with the feature of having the outlet tubes 28 termi-nating at their outlet ends rearwar~ly and not forwardly of the cutter bar assembly 36, results in an effective machine 5. whereas prior art machines have been substantially ineffectual for handling a range of crop dénsities.
Flgs. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate in detail the configuration of the outlet tubes 28. Each outlet,tube 28 has a cylindrical portion 38 which slopes downwardly and rearwardly as shown, lO. the lower end being curved towards a more nearly horizontal discharge trajectory, and having the walls formed to be closer together to form an oval shaped discharge -spout 39. The sides of the discharge spout 39 are cut away to provide side notches 40, and these combined wlth the high speed discharge through 15. the nozzles, form a curtain of air which spreads effectively over most of the cutting platform 30, and is found to be more effective than a reel in moving the cut crop heads rearwardly to the auger 31. The discharge spouts 39 are located close to ' ; .
the upper surface of the cutting platform, and this assists in 20. retaining the rearwardly moving curtain of air to move at a high speed across the platform without excessive disslpation.~
` The end spouts 39 are close to the rëspective ends of the cutter platform (not more than 200 mm away), and the spacing between the spouts 39 does not exceed 300 mm. This arrangement 25. results in the air curtain being effective for a wide range of crop conditions.
' ~ , ' ~.~7~
In the embodimen-t shown, the device consumes between eight and ten horsepower to drive the high pressure blower 33, but this extra consumption of horsepower is more than offset b~v the great increase in speed at which the machine can operate.
5. In the illustrated embodiment, the machine is found to operate at nearly double the speed of the same machine when fitted with a reel as standard equipment.
The use of the high velocity air over the cutting plat-form, even though discharged rearwardly of the front edge of 10. the cutter bar, nevertheless so entrains air from forward of the cutter bar that the crop moves rearwardly as it is cut, and particulate material separated by "shattering" still moves rearwardly over the platform and lnto the feed auger trough.-.
