Abstract

HARVESTER SWATH PICK UP DRIVE
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A swath pick-up for a harvester provides a drive for the transverse toothed members which acts to rotate the toothed members about a transverse axis while moving them longitudinally of the axis. The drive com-prises a pair of plates arranged at opposed ends of the transverse member each supporting a plurality of pairs of bevel gears mounted such that one bevel gear rotates with the plate while the other is rotated by rotation of the first to rotate the respective transverse member on a crank. The bevel gears are inter-connected either by a shaft or by an elbow casing. The first bevel gear is either fixed to the plate for rotation therewith or is rotated by an internal cam track provided on a cam plate parallel to the rotatable support plate.

HAR~ESTBR SWATH PICK-UP DRIVE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in drives for harvester s~ath pick~ups and consitutes an improvement in;the arrangement disclosed in my U.S. Patent No. 4,129,978 (Canadian Patent No.
1,0~1,452 issued December 16th, 1980).
In this patent, a swath pic~-up includes a pair of spiders or support plates, one on each end of a rame and each being arranged at an angle with respect to the direction of travel and to the transverse axis of the pick-up. A forked inwardly offset arm is pivotally secured to a block on the outer end of each arm cf each oP the spiders, in the form of a universal joint. A
transvsrsely extending member, from which pick~up teeth extend, e~-tends between each offset arm on one of the spiders and the corresponding arm on the other spider.
One of the spiders is rotated by a source of power such as a hydraulic motor and the angular relation-ship of the spiders causes the transverse members and th~

pick-up teeth to reciprocate transversely as they rotate.
The offset arms enable a pick-up of reduced diameter to ~e provided thereby increasing the efficiency of the pick-up action yet providing sufficient room at the 3~3 ~ 2 spiders for the installation and operation of the universal joints and arms on the spiders~
This invention has worked well and has seen some success but has disadvantages in that the drive tends to vibrate in view of the universal joint coupling between the spiders and the transverse members and the nature of universal joints running at a sharp angle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVF.NTION
~ . .
It is one object of the invention therefore to provide a harvester swath pick-up of this type wherein the drive between the spiders and the transverse members i5 improved in order to provide a smooth and effective motion of the transverse members in the complex motion required.
According to the first aspect of the invention there is provided a pick-up attachment for a harvester comprising a plurality of members extending transversely across the pick-up arranged generally around and parallel to an axis transverse to a direction of movement of the pick-up, each member supporting a plurality of tines ex-tending therefrom generally outwardly relative to the transverse axis and means for moving the members in a composite movement around the transverse axis and pa-rallel to the transverse axis such that each tine des-Y ~:

According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a pick-up attachment for a harvester comprising a plurality of members extending transversely across the pick-up arranged generally around and parallel to an axis transverse to a direction of movement of the pick-up, each member supporting a plurality of tines ex-tending therefrom generally outwardly relative to the transverse axis and means for moving the members in a closed path having a composite movement around the trans-verse axis and parallel to the transverse axis, said mo-ving means comprising a pair of support members arranged at respective ends of the transverse members and lying in parallel planes which are not parallel to the movement of the tines, means mounting the support members for rota-tion about parallel axes generally transverse thereto and lying in a substantially vertical plane, each support mem-ber having a plurality of connecting means mounted there-on a~ angularly spaced positions around the support mem-ber axis for rotation therewith, a plurality of offset crank means each interconnecting a respective one of the connec.ting means to a respective one of a transverse mem-ber, said connecting means being arranged to rota~e said crank means around said support member axis and about an axis at right angles to said support member axis~ said 3~

~ 2C

offset crank means o~ each transverse member being arran-ged to offset the transverse member outwardly relative to the other transverse members, whereby said rotation of said support members moves the transverse members substan-tially in a planar movement parallel to the support mem~
ber plane and rotation of said crank means adds to said planar movement to form said composite movement.
According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided a pick-up attachment for a harvester comprising a plurality of members extending trans~ersely across the pick-up arranged generally around and parallel to an axis transverse to a direc-tion of movement of the pick-up, each member supporting a plurality of tines ex-tending therefrom generally outwardly relative to the transverse axis and means for moving the members in a closed path having a composite movement around the trans-verse axis and parallel to the transverse axis, said moving means comprising a pair of support members arranged at res-pective ends of the transverse members, and lyi.ng in parallel planes ~hich are not parallel to the movement oE
the tines, means mounting the support members for rotation about parallel axes generally transverse thereto, each support member having a plurality of connecting means mounted thereon at angularly spaced positions around the .

~S~3~

support member axis for rotation therewith, a plurality of offset crank means each interconnecting a respective one of the connecting means to a respective end of a trans-verse member, said connecting means being arranged to rotate said crank means around said support member axis and about an axis at an angle to said support member axis, said offset crank means of each transverse member being arranged to offset the transverse member outwardly rela-tive to the other transverse members.
It is one advantage of the invention that the spiders or support members can be in th.e form of plates which lie transverse to the pick-up in either a horizon-tal plane or in a plane slightly inclined thereto with the drive communicated from the plate to -the transverse members by a pair of bevel gears arranged generally at right angles and supported by an outside casing.
It is a further advantage of the invention that the outside casing supporting the bevel gears can provide an enclosed drive which avoids problems of dust and other material entering the drive gears.

, 4 ~p~

It is a yet further advantage of the invention that the drive is of a simple nature and yet provides a smooth and e~fective communication of the motion to the transverse members thus preventing vibration and con-sequent wear of the parts.
With the foregoing io view, and other advan-tages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the best mode known to the applicant and of the preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:

Figure 5 is a schematic pla~ view o~ the pick-up as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
In the drawings like characters of re~erence indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAIL~D DESCRIPTION
Re~erence is firstly made to my prior publlshed U.S. Patent No. 4,129,978 (Can~dian Patent 1,091,452) which discloses the frame structure and mounting arrange-ment of a swath pick-up device of this type but employing a different drive system for moving the transverse members carrying the teeth in the composite movement. It will be understood that the present invention includes a mounting arrangement and framework substantially as dis-closed in the above patent and ~or this reason these ~eatures in relation to the present invention are omitted from the drawings and description following.
Referring therefore to Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6 there is shown schematically a drive arrangement for a ~s~

swath pick-up of the above type~ As shown in Figure 5 there are six transverse members lQ supporting teeth 11 of the type shown in the above patent but for convenience of illustration some o~ the transverse members 10 and the corresponding drive arrangement are omitted from Figures 1 and 2.
Referring -therefore iirstly to Figures 1 and 2, a plurality of transverse members 10 are arranged trans-verse to the pick-up and e~tend from one side to the other side with the pick up area lying between the drive arrangement on either side for pick-up of the swath at a nose area generally indicated at 12 for transport to a conveyor 13 which is conventional in the art. Each o~
the transverse members 10 in turn moves from the nose backwardly toward the conveyor 13 around an a~is trans-verse to the pick-up with the teeth 11 thereof e~tending generally outwardly relative to the axis to carry the swath back to the conveyor 13. At the same time the transverse member moves sidewardly across the pick up so tha-t each tooth moves in a plane which is generally ver-tical and lying at an angle to the axis so as to assis-t in picking up straw which lies at right angles to th~
axis. It will be appreciated that the teeth move across ~5~

the straw rather than parallel to $he straw thus assist-i-ng in the pick-up.
This composite movement is provided by a drive arrangement comprising a pair o~ plates or discs 14, 15 mounted on shafts 17 supported on bearings 16 ~or rota-tion about parallel axes. As shown the a~es of the plates 14, 15 lie in a substantially vertical forward plane and are inclined forwardly of the pick-up by an angle of the order of 30. It will be appreciated that the plane of the plates in this embodiment is different ~rom the plane of movement of the teeth but it is possi-ble for the plates to lie substantially in any plane pro-vided they are parallel, with the angle between the gears accommodating any variations in angle.
Each of the plates 14, 15 supports around its periphery a plurality of bevel gears 18 mounted on sha~ts secured to the plate 14, 15. The bevel gears 18 are in meshing relationship with co-operating bevel gears 19 arranged at right angles to the gears 18 so as to be driven thereby~ The gears 19 are coupled to respective shafts 20 to which the transverse members 11 are secured by a crank arm 21.
Turning now to Figure 3, the constructional details o~ the plate 14 with bevel gears 18 and 19 of one embodiment is shown,. Only two bevel gear connections are ~s~

shown for simplicity of illustration. In addition the embodiment is modified from that shown in Figures 1 and 2 in t~at the plate 14 is inclined such that its axis lies in a horizontal plane with the plate lying parallel to the direction of motion of the teeth. The a~is ~ the plate 14 mounted on the shaft 17 is indicated at 2~. The plate 14 is apertured equidistantly adjacent the peri~
phery thereof ~nd receives one end 26 of an angulated spindle 27 with one bevel or mitre gear 18 being journalled for rotation relative to the spindle by means of a bearing 29. The bevel gear 18 is mounted on the upper or outer face 30 of the plate 14. The spindle 27 and the gear 28 together with the bearing 29 are engaged and held by a nut 31 or the like screw threadably engag~
ing an aperture in the plate 14 and an apertured flange 32 engages over the inner end 26 of the shaft 27 to ass~st in holding the assembly in position.
The other end 35 of the angulated shaft 27 carries the corresponding bevel or mitre gear 19 meshing with the gear 18 at an angle of appro~imately 135 and this bevel gear 1~ is ln turn supported upon a bearing 37 secured and mounted within the distal end 38 o~ the aforementioned offset crank 21 of the transverse member 10. Thus the bevel gear 18 is fixed to the plate 14 so 5~3~3 that rotation of the plate 14 about its axis causes the bevel gear 18 to rotate about its own axis while the shaft 27 is free to rotate rèlative to the bevel gear 18 a It will be noted that the opposite end of the transverse member 10 is mounted upon a similar arrange-ment of bevel gears 18, 19 carried on the plate 15. How-ever, the plate 15 is inverted relative to the plate 14~
Also it will be noted that the member 10 adjacent the outer most edge of the plate 14 is coupled to the plate 15 adjacent the inner most edge and vice versa.
Rotation of the plate 14 through a motor and chain drive lschematically illustrated at 28) causes the bevel gears 18 to rotate with the plate around the a~is of the plate thus transporting the transverse members 10 in a similar motion~ At the same tim0 the movement of the bevel gears 18 relative to the a~is of the plate 14 causes the bevel gears 19 to rotate thus turning the cranks 21 and causing the transverse members 10 to rotate about the axis of the shaft 20 of the bevel gear 1~. The bevel gears 18, 19 have a corresponding number of teeth such that as the plate 14 rotates through, for e~ample 180, the corresponding transverse member 10 similarly rotates through 180 relative to the shaft 20. These two 5~38 extreme positions are illustrated in Figure 2 with intermediate 90 positions also illustrated in Figure lo Figure 5 shows the arrangement with six such transverse mem~ers in one location of the plate 14.
The cr~nks 21 provide an o~fset of the trans-verse member 10 relative to the shaft 20 which is suffi-cient to allow the transverse member lO at the outer most edge of the disk to pass over the bevel gears and mount-lng of that at the inner most edge of the disk.
It will be appreciated that the position of the shaft 27 is constrained by the fact that the correspond-ing transverse member 10 is coupled to the other disk 15 thus retaining the transverse members 10 ln parallel relationship lying across the pick-up. Also the trans-verse members 10 communicate ro-tation of the plate 14 to the plate 15 so they remain in synchronism.
Turning no~ to Figure 4 there is shown an alternative arrangement of mounting for the bevel gears 18, 19 on the plate 14. In this embodiment the plate lies in an orientation as shown in Figures 1 and 2 as opposed to the slightly angled orientation shown in Figure 3.
In this embodiment the bevel gear 18 is rigidly attached to a shaft 40 mounted in bearings 41 carried in an aperture 42 of the plate 140 Thus the bevel gear 18 3~

is ~ree to rotate relative to the plate 14. The shafts 40 and 20 are mounted at rights angled relationship by a mounting member 43 which comprises a hollow casing or elbow ~urrounding the bevel gears 18, 19 and coupled to the shafts 20, 40 by bearing blocks 44, 45 respectively, The bearing blocks 44, 45 are attached to the shafts 20, 40 and also mounted in the elbow 43 by screw threaded collars 46, 47 co-operating with shoulders 48 provided on the elbow 43.
Thus the elbow 43 is free to rotate relative to the plate 14~ As explai~ed in relation to the previous embodiment, the transverse member 10 is retained trans-verse to the pick-up by the co-operation of the plate 14 and the plate 15 and thus the elbow 43 similarly remains parallel to the axis of the pick-up. This orientation is maintained regardless of the rotation of the plate 14 with the rotation being provided by the bearings 45.
Rotation of the bevel gear 18 around its a~is is provided by a cam follower 49 mounted on the end of the sha~t 40 remote from the bevel gear 18 which co-operates with a cam track 50 provided in the cam plate 51 parallel to the plate 14. The track 50 provides a generally closed track around the plate 51 so that it will be appreciated that effectively a 360 rotation of -the plate 14 causes a 360 rotation of the bevel gear 18 about its axis. Such rotation of ~he bevel gear 18 is communicated through bevel gear l9 to the transverse member 10 as e~plained previously.
In this embodiment however the cam track 50 is arranged such that the ro-tation of the transverse members 10 about the respPctive shaft 20 is controlled in a non-constant manner so that the teeth follow the path schematically illustrated in Figure 6. Speci~ically the rotation is modified so that the the rotation of the teeth 11 is very much delayed adjacent the front roller of the conveyor 13 so that the front roller can be arranged as close as possible to the underside o~ the pick-up. After the conveyor 13 and before the nose area 12 the rate of rotation is increased and then maintained constant around the nose area across the top part indi-cated generally at 52 the motion is again delayed so that the teeth remain at a substantially constant angle relative to the plate 14. Immediately after the front roller of the conveyor 13 the transverse member ~10 is rapidly rotated to assume the posi-tion indiGated along the underside of the pick-up. The necessary shaping of the cam track 51 will be apparent to one sXilled in the art and -therefore is not shown in detail.

Since various modifications can be made in my i-nvention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within the spirit and scop~ of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying speci.fication shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
