Means for solving the problems

[1] The solution to the problem [1] is as follows.

The present invention is a combine harvester provided with a threshing device for threshing a crop to be harvested, wherein the threshing device comprises: a rear wall portion provided at a rear portion of the threshing device and rotatably supporting a rear portion of the threshing cylinder; a dust discharge port formed at a lower side with respect to the rear wall portion, for discharging the chips from the threshing device; and a mounting member provided on the rear wall portion, the mounting member being capable of mounting a dust discharge cover that covers the dust discharge port to guide debris discharged from the dust discharge port to a ground surface downward, and a shredding device that shreds the debris discharged from the dust discharge port; the 1 st state in which the stay for supporting the dust-discharging cover is attached to the attaching member to connect the dust-discharging cover to the rear wall portion, and the 2 nd state in which the shredder is attached to the attaching member to connect the shredder to the rear wall portion can be selected.

According to the present invention, a threshing device is provided with a rear wall portion, a dust discharge port, and a mounting member.

The rear wall portion is provided at the rear portion of the threshing device and rotatably supports the rear portion of the threshing cylinder. The dust discharge port is formed on the lower side with respect to the rear wall portion, and discharges the chips from the threshing device.

The mounting member is provided at the rear wall portion, and is capable of exchanging the dust discharging hood covering the dust discharging port to guide the chips coming out of the dust discharging port to the ground downward, and the shredding device shredding the chips coming out of the dust discharging port.

In the case of obtaining a combine harvester of a type equipped with a dust-discharging cover, the 1 st state in which a stay for supporting the dust-discharging cover is attached to an attachment member and the dust-discharging cover is connected to a rear wall portion may be set.

The dust cover may be formed into a box shape by a design requiring a good external appearance and using a lightweight material such as synthetic resin. Thus, even with a relatively large dust exhaust hood, the dust exhaust hood is stably supported by the stay.

In the case of obtaining a combine harvester of a type equipped with a chopper, the 2 nd state in which the chopper is attached to the attachment member and the chopper is connected to the rear wall portion may be set.

The shredding device having a shape different from that of the dust exhaust hood is directly connected to the rear wall portion, so that the shredding device is stably supported.

As described above, there are no cases where a dust hood-equipped type combine and a chopper-equipped type combine can be obtained, and this is advantageous in terms of productivity.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the mounting member is a bolt protruding rearward from the rear wall portion; in the 1 st state, the stay base portion to which the stay is connected to the rear wall portion via the attachment member; in the state 2, the mounting portion of the shredder is coupled to the rear wall portion via the mounting member.

According to the present invention, since the mounting member provided at the rear wall portion is simply constituted by the bolt, it is advantageous in terms of simplification of the constitution.

According to the present invention, the stay base portion to which the stay is connected is easily connected to the rear wall portion as the mounting member of the bolt in the 1 st state, and the mounting portion of the shredder is easily connected to the rear wall portion as the mounting member of the bolt in the 2 nd state, whereby workability in setting the 1 st and 2 nd states is improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the rear wall portion is provided with a base plate portion extending in the left-right direction; the plurality of mounting members are arranged on the base plate portion at intervals along the left-right direction and are provided so as to protrude from the base plate portion to the rear side; in the 1 st state, the stay base extending in the left-right direction along the base is connected to the base; in the state 2, the mounting portion extending in the left-right direction along the base plate portion is coupled to the base plate portion.

According to the present invention, the plurality of mounting members are arranged at the base plate portion of the rear wall portion at intervals in the left-right direction.

In this way, in the 1 st state, the stay base portion long in the left-right direction is connected to the base plate portion of the rear wall portion via the plurality of attachment members, and even if the dust-discharging cover has a large lateral width, the dust-discharging cover is stably supported by the stay and the stay base portion.

In the 2 nd state, the shredder is stably supported by the plurality of mounting members even if the shredder has a large lateral width.

In the present invention, the substrate portion is preferably formed by bending the substrate portion in an L-shape in cross section.

According to the present invention, since the substrate portion that is long in the lateral direction is formed by bending the substrate portion in an L-shaped cross section, the strength of the substrate portion can be improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that a1 st cover that covers the rear part of the threshing device is disposed at an upper side with respect to the dust exhaust cover in the 1 st state, and a2 nd cover that covers the rear part of the threshing device is disposed at an upper side with respect to the shredding device in the 2 nd state, and a cover stay that can support the 1 st cover and can support the 2 nd cover is provided at the rear wall portion so as to be located at an upper side with respect to the attachment member.

In the combine harvester, in the 1 st state, the 1 st cover is attached to the dust exhaust cover at the upper side, and the rear part of the threshing device is covered by the 1 st cover in some cases. In the 2 nd state, the 2 nd cover may be attached to the shredder at the upper side, and the rear part of the threshing device may be covered with the 2 nd cover.

According to the present invention, the hood stay is provided on the rear wall portion so as to be positioned on the upper side with respect to the mounting member, and in the 1 st state, the 1 st hood is supported by the hood stay, and in the 2 nd state, the 2 nd hood is supported by the hood stay.

This is advantageous in terms of simplification of the structure because the hood stays are used for supporting the 1 st hood and for supporting the 2 nd hood.

In the present invention, the dust exhaust hood preferably includes: a rear surface portion which is disposed at a distance from the dust discharge port to the rear side and is formed to extend in the up-down direction and the left-right direction; right and left lateral surface parts extending from the right and left parts of the rear surface part toward the dust discharge port and formed along the up-down direction and the front-rear direction; a discharge portion formed downward surrounded by a lower portion of the rear surface portion and lower portions of the right and left lateral surface portions, and discharging debris downward; and right and left extending portions extending from lower portions of the right and left lateral surface portions to lower portions of the rear surface portions, and formed in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction.

According to the present invention, the dust-discharging cover is formed in a box shape having a rear surface portion, right and left lateral surface portions, and the dust is discharged downward from the discharge portion surrounded by the lower portions of the rear surface portion and the lower portions of the right and left lateral surface portions.

According to the present invention, in the dust exhaust hood, the right extending portion extends from the lower portion of the right lateral surface portion to the lower side of the lower portion of the rear surface portion, and is formed in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction. The left extending portion extends from the lower portion of the left lateral surface portion to the lower side of the lower portion of the rear surface portion, and is formed along the up-down direction and the front-rear direction.

Therefore, even if the chips discharged downward from the discharge portion of the dust hood are required to flow rightward or leftward, the flow of the chips is easily blocked by the extending portions of the dust hood on the right and left sides, so that the scattering of the chips can be suppressed.

[2] The solution to the problem [2] is as follows.

The combine harvester of the invention comprises: a grain tank for storing grains; and a grain conveying device capable of discharging grains from the grain tank; the grain conveying apparatus includes a vertical conveying section connected to a lower portion of the grain tank and disposed in a vertical direction, a relay conveying section connected to an upper portion of the vertical conveying section in a horizontal direction, a horizontal conveying section connected to the relay conveying section so as to be capable of swinging up and down about a central axis of the relay conveying section, and a grain outlet provided at a distal end portion of the horizontal conveying section; the device is provided with: a1 st lifting member supported by the relay transport unit so as to be capable of swinging up and down around the central axis; a2 nd lifting member mounted across the 1 st lifting member and the lateral conveying section; a lifting cylinder connected to the 2 nd lifting member, for lifting and lowering the horizontal conveying unit around the central shaft by a telescopic operation; and a height sensor for detecting the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying unit by detecting the position of the 1 st lifting member or the 2 nd lifting member.

According to the present invention, in a grain conveying apparatus provided with a vertical conveying section, a relay conveying section, and a horizontal conveying section, a1 st lifting member supported by the relay conveying section so as to be swingable about a central axis of the relay conveying section, and a2 nd lifting member mounted astride the 1 st lifting member and the horizontal conveying section are provided.

The lift cylinder is connected to the 2 nd lift member, and the horizontal conveying section is lifted and lowered by the 2 nd lift member through the telescopic operation of the lift cylinder.

Since the 1 st lifting member and the 2 nd lifting member are integrally swung up and down with the horizontal conveying section, by providing the height sensor for detecting the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying section by detecting the position of the 1 st lifting member or the 2 nd lifting member as in the present invention, the vertical swing position (vertical angle) of the horizontal conveying section can be directly detected by the height sensor while avoiding an increase in the number of components, and the detection accuracy of the vertical swing position (vertical angle) of the horizontal conveying section by the height sensor can be improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the height sensor detects the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying section by detecting the position of the 1 st lifting member.

According to the present invention, the position of the 1 st elevation member is detected by the height sensor. Since the 1 st lifting member can swing up and down around the central axis of the relay transport section, the vertical swing position of the lateral transport section can be detected without difficulty by detecting the position (vertical angle) of the 1 st lifting member by the height sensor.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the height sensor is provided with an arm portion swingable in the up-down direction; the arm is connected with the 1 st lifting component; the position of the 1 st lifting member is detected by the height sensor by swinging the arm portion in accordance with the swinging of the 1 st lifting member.

According to the present invention, the swing of the 1 st lifting member is transmitted to the height sensor via the arm portion, the position (up-down angle) of the 1 st lifting member is detected by the height sensor, and the swing of the 1 st lifting member is amplified or compressed based on the ratio of the length of the 1 st lifting member to the length of the arm portion and transmitted to the height sensor.

According to the present invention, instead of directly transmitting the swing of the 1 st lifting member to the height sensor, by setting the ratio of the length of the 1 st lifting member to the length of the arm to an appropriate value, the swing of the 1 st lifting member can be converted into an appropriate range in which the height sensor can not be forcibly detected and transmitted to the height sensor, whereby the detection accuracy of the height sensor can be improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the 1 st lifting member is supported by a portion of the relay transport section on an opposite side of the lateral transport section; the height sensor is disposed at a position on the lateral conveying section side with respect to the 1 st lifting member in a plan view.

According to the present invention, the lateral conveying unit is disposed at one portion of the relay conveying unit in a plan view, the 1 st lifting member is disposed at the other portion of the relay conveying unit, and the height sensor is disposed between the 1 st lifting member and the lateral conveying unit at a position on the lateral conveying unit side with respect to the 1 st lifting member in a plan view.

Thus, the height sensor is compactly arranged, and the possibility of the height sensor coming into contact with the rest of the combine is suppressed, which is advantageous in that damage to the height sensor is avoided.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the 1 st lifting member is formed in a cross-sectional groove shape having a vertical surface portion along a vertical direction, an upper surface portion extending from an upper portion of the vertical surface portion in a lateral direction toward the lateral conveying portion, and a lower surface portion extending from a lower portion of the vertical surface portion in a lateral direction toward the lateral conveying portion; the connection portion of the end portion of the arm portion, which is connected to the 1 st lifting member, is arranged between the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion as viewed in the extending direction of the 1 st lifting member.

According to the present invention, since the 1 st lifting member is formed in a cross-sectional groove shape having the vertical surface portion, the upper surface portion, and the lower surface portion, the strength of the 1 st lifting member can be improved.

According to the present invention, since the connection portion connected to the 1 st elevation member at the end portion of the arm portion of the height sensor is disposed between the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion of the 1 st elevation member as viewed in the extending direction of the 1 st elevation member, the connection portion of the arm portion of the height sensor is surrounded by the 1 st elevation member, which is advantageous in that damage to the arm portion is avoided.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the arm portion is biased toward the upper surface portion or the lower surface portion so that a connecting portion of the arm portion is in contact with the upper surface portion or the lower surface portion; with the swinging of the 1 st lifting member, the arm swings while the connecting portion of the arm slides on the upper surface portion or the lower surface portion.

In the case where the connection portion of the arm portion of the height sensor is connected to the 1 st lifting member, there is a case where the trajectory of the connection portion of the arm portion of the height sensor is different from the trajectory of the 1 st lifting member because of a difference between the position of the height sensor and the position of the 1 st lifting member, a difference between the length of the 1 st lifting member and the length of the arm portion of the height sensor, and the like.

According to the present invention, the arm portion of the height sensor is biased toward the upper surface portion (lower surface portion) of the 1 st elevation member, and the connecting portion of the arm portion of the height sensor is in contact with the upper surface portion (lower surface portion) of the 1 st elevation member.

If the 1 st lifting member swings in this state, the arm portion of the height sensor swings so as to follow the 1 st lifting member, and the connecting portion of the arm portion of the height sensor slides along the upper surface portion (lower surface portion) of the 1 st lifting member, whereby the difference between the locus of the connecting portion of the arm portion of the height sensor and the locus of the 1 st lifting member is absorbed.

According to the present invention, the difference between the locus of the connecting portion of the arm portion of the height sensor and the locus of the 1 st lifting member is not absorbed marginally, and the swing of the 1 st lifting member is transmitted to the height sensor via the arm portion of the height sensor, so that the detection accuracy of the height sensor can be improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the height sensor is disposed between an upper portion of the relay transport section and the center axis when viewed in a horizontal direction.

According to the present invention, since the height sensor is disposed at a relatively high position in the grain conveying apparatus so as not to go out to the upper side of the relay conveying section, the possibility of the height sensor coming into contact with other parts of the combine is suppressed, and the height sensor is advantageously prevented from being damaged.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the height sensor is supported by the relay transport unit via a stay.

According to the present invention, the height sensor is stably supported by the relay transport unit via the stay, and the position of the height sensor is stable, so that the detection accuracy of the height sensor can be improved.

[3] The solution to the problem [3] is as follows.

The present invention is characterized by comprising: a working device; a side cover detachably provided on a side of the working device and divided into a plurality of cover members; and a positioning unit provided across two adjacent cover members among the plurality of cover members, for positioning one of the two cover members and the other of the two cover members; the positioning portion includes a protrusion portion provided on the one cover member and protruding toward the other cover member, and an entry portion provided on the other cover member and into which the protrusion portion enters.

According to this feature, by positioning one cover member and the other cover member with the positioning portion, the two adjacent cover members can be prevented from being displaced relative to each other. Further, by a simple operation of allowing the protruding portion to enter the entering portion, one cover member and the other cover member can be easily positioned.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that a first face portion is provided at an edge portion of the one cover member on the other cover member side; a second face portion is provided on an edge portion of the other cover member on the one cover member side; the one cover member and the other cover member are arranged in a state in which the first surface portion and the second surface portion face each other; the protrusion is provided on the first surface; the entrance portion is provided on the second face portion.

According to this feature, when one cover member and the other cover member are attached in a state in which the first surface portion and the second surface portion face each other, the protruding portion can be easily inserted into the insertion portion.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the protruding portion is formed of a plate-like portion; the inlet portion is formed by a cutout portion or an opening portion.

According to this feature, the protruding portion and the entering portion can be simply constituted.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the one cover member and the other cover member are arranged in a state where a gap exists between the first surface portion and the second surface portion; a gap covering portion for covering the gap is provided on at least one of the first surface portion and the second surface portion.

According to this feature, the gap is covered by the gap covering portion. Thus, the inside of the side cover is not exposed from the gap to the outside of the side cover, and dust and the like hardly intrude into the inside of the side cover from the gap.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the gap covering portion is formed of a portion extending from the first surface portion or the second surface portion.

According to this feature, the gap covering portion can be simply constituted.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the gap covering portion is provided on the second surface portion similar to the entrance portion.

Here, if the gap covering portion is provided on the same first face as the protruding portion, when the protruding portion is brought into the entering portion in a state where the other cover member is attached, the position of the gap covering portion changes together with the protruding portion, so that the gap covering portion easily interferes with the other cover member.

According to this feature, when the protrusion is brought into the entering portion in a state where the other cover member is attached, the position of the gap covering portion does not change, so that the gap covering portion is less likely to interfere with the one cover member.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the protruding portion is provided at an end portion of the first face portion; the entrance portion is provided at an end of the second face portion.

According to this feature, the protruding portion enters the entering portion by aligning the end portion of the first face portion with the end portion of the second face portion. Thus, the protruding portion can be easily inserted into the insertion portion.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the inlet portion is formed of a cutout portion; the protruding portion is configured to be insertable into and removable from the entering portion along a cutout direction.

According to this feature, the protruding portion is inserted into or removed from the entering portion by inserting or extracting the protruding portion into or from the entering portion in the cutout direction. This makes it possible to easily perform positioning by the positioning portion and release the positioning.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that a threshing device is provided as the working device; the side cover is detachably provided on a lateral side of the threshing device and is configured to be divided into a plurality of cover members; the positioning portion is provided across two cover members adjacent to each other in the plurality of cover members, and positions a cover member located on an upper side of the two cover members and a cover member located on a lower side of the two cover members; the protrusion is provided on the upper cover member; the inlet portion is provided on the lower cover member.

According to this feature, the cover member located on the upper side and the cover member located on the lower side are positioned by the positioning portion, so that the two cover members adjacent to each other vertically can be prevented from being displaced relative to each other. Further, by a simple operation of allowing the protruding portion to enter the entering portion from above, the cover member located on the upper side and the cover member located on the lower side can be easily positioned.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the upper cover member and the lower cover member are arranged in a state where a gap exists between a lower edge portion of the upper cover member and an upper edge portion of the lower cover member; a gap covering part for covering the gap is arranged on the upper edge part of the cover part positioned at the lower side; the gap covering portion extends from an upper edge portion of the lower cover member to a position laterally inward of the threshing device than a lower edge portion of the upper cover member.

According to this feature, the gap is covered by the gap covering portion. Thus, the inside of the side cover is not exposed from the gap to the outside of the side cover, and dust and the like hardly intrude into the inside of the side cover from the gap. The end edge of the gap covering portion is located laterally inward of the threshing device than the end edge of the lower edge of the cover member located on the upper side. This effectively prevents the inside of the side cover from being exposed from the gap to the outside of the side cover.

This enables maintenance work to be performed on the grain tank 205 side portion of the threshing device 204 and the grain tank 204 side portion of the grain tank 5.

(Lifting Structure of grain conveying device)

As shown in fig. 12, 13, 14, and 15, the 1 st lifting member 231 is supported on a sleeve (boss) 221a of the 1 st section 221 of the relay conveyor section 210 on the opposite side of the lateral conveyor section 211 so as to be capable of swinging up and down about the central axis 2P 2.

As shown in fig. 14, 15, 16, and 17, the 1 st lifting member 231 is formed in a cross-sectional groove shape having a vertical surface portion 231a along the up-down direction, an upper surface portion 231b extending from an upper portion of the vertical surface portion 231a in the lateral direction toward the lateral conveying portion 211, and a lower surface portion 231c extending from a lower portion of the vertical surface portion 231a in the lateral direction toward the lateral conveying portion 211.

The lateral conveying unit 211, the 2 nd portion 222 of the relay conveying unit 210, the 1 st elevating member 231, and the 2 nd elevating member 232 are integrally swingable up and down around the central axis 2P 2.

The first portion 221 of the relay transport unit 210 is connected to a bracket 225, and the bracket 225 is sufficiently separated upward from the grain box 205. The lift cylinder 226 is connected to the 2 nd lift member 232 across the bracket 225, and is disposed between the 1 st lift member 231 and the lateral conveying section 211 in a plan view.

With the above configuration, the lateral conveyance unit 211, the 2 nd portion 222 of the relay conveyance unit 210, and the 1 st lifting member 231 are integrally lifted and lowered about the central axis 2P2 via the 2 nd lifting member 232 by the telescopic operation of the lifting cylinder 226.

(Rotation operation and lifting operation of grain conveying apparatus)

The driving unit 203 is provided with a right turn switch (not shown), a left turn switch (not shown), a rise switch (not shown), and a fall switch (not shown) that can be operated by an operator. If the right turn switch is operated, as described above (the structure of turning the grain conveying apparatus), the electric motor 223 turns the grain conveying apparatus 206 to the right, and if the left turn switch is operated, the electric motor 223 turns the grain conveying apparatus 206 to the right.

If the raising switch is operated, the raising cylinder 226 is extended to raise the horizontal conveying section 211, and if the lowering switch is operated, the raising cylinder 226 is contracted to lower the horizontal conveying section 211, as described above (the structure of raising and lowering the grain conveying apparatus).

As shown in fig. 13, a receiving stand 230 is provided at the upper part of the front part of the threshing device 204 on the left side of the driving part 203. In a state where the grain conveying apparatus 206 is not used, the grain conveying apparatus 206 is placed at the storage position 2A1 (see fig. 20) where the lateral conveying portion 211 is carried on the receiving stand 230.

(Structure for detecting vertical swing position of horizontal conveying section)

As shown in fig. 14, 15, 16, and 17, a stay 227 is connected to the 1 st part 221 of the relay transport unit 210 at a part on the 2 nd lifting member 232 side in plan view, and the stay 227 extends toward the 1 st lifting member 231.

A height sensor 228 of a potentiometer (potentiometer) type is attached to the stay 227, and the height sensor 228 is supported by the relay transport section 210 (section 1, 221) via the stay 227.

The height sensor 228 is disposed between the central axis 2P2 and the upper portion of the relay transport section 210 (1 st portion 221) as viewed in the horizontal direction (see fig. 14).

The height sensor 228 is disposed between the 1 st elevation member 231 and the lateral conveying portion 211 at a position on the lateral conveying portion 211 side with respect to the 1 st elevation member 231 in plan view (see fig. 15).

The height sensor 228 is disposed such that the detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228 protrudes from the stay 227 toward the 1 st lifting member 231, and the detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228 can rotate forward and backward about the shaft core 2P3 parallel to the central axis 2P 2.

The arm 229 is coupled to the detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228, extends from the detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228 toward the central shaft 2P2, and is swingable in the up-down direction by forward and reverse rotation of the detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228.

A round bar-shaped connecting pin 229a (corresponding to a connecting portion) is connected to an end portion of the arm portion 229, and the connecting pin 229a extends from the arm portion 229 toward the 1 st elevating member 231 in a state parallel to the central axis 2P2 and the axis 2P 3. The connection pin 229a of the arm portion 229 is disposed between the upper surface portion 231b and the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231 as viewed in the direction in which the 1 st lifting member 231 extends (see fig. 16).

The detection shaft 228a of the height sensor 228 is biased in the counterclockwise direction in fig. 17 by a biasing member (not shown) such as a spring provided inside the height sensor 228. Thereby, the arm 229 is biased downward by the biasing member, and the arm 229 is biased toward the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231, so that the connection pin 229a of the arm 229 contacts the upper surface of the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231, and the arm 229 is connected to the 1 st lifting member 231.

(Detection of vertical swing position of lateral conveying section by height sensor)

By the above-described (structure of detecting the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying section), the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying section 211 is detected by the height sensor 228 as described below.

In the state shown by the solid line in fig. 17, it is assumed that the lateral conveying section 211 (1 st elevating member 231) is stopped. In this state, the arm 229 is biased toward the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231 by the biasing member of the height sensor 228, and the connection pin 229a of the arm 229 contacts the upper surface of the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231.

When the lateral conveying portion 211 is lifted, as shown by a solid line to a two-dot chain line in fig. 17, the 1 st lifting member 231 swings upward, and the connection pin 229a of the arm portion 229 is pushed up against the urging member of the height sensor 228 by the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231 while the connection pin 229a of the arm portion 229 slides along the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st lifting member 231, so that the arm portion 229 swings upward following the 1 st lifting member 231.

When the horizontal conveyance section 211 is lowered, as shown by a two-dot chain line to a solid line in fig. 17, the 1 st elevating member 231 swings downward, and the arm section 229 follows the 1 st elevating member 231 while the connection pin 229a of the arm section 229 slides along the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st elevating member 231, so that the connection pin 229a of the arm section 229 does not separate from the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st elevating member 231 by the urging member of the height sensor 228.

As for the swing of the 1 st elevating member 231, the difference between the trajectory of the connecting pin 229a of the arm 229 and the trajectory of the 1 st elevating member 231 is absorbed by the connecting pin 229a of the arm 229 sliding along the lower surface portion 231c of the 1 st elevating member 231.

As described above, by the arm portion 229 swinging in accordance with the swinging of the 1 st lifting member 231, the position (up-down angle) of the 1 st lifting member 231 is transmitted to the height sensor 228 via the arm portion 229, and the position (up-down angle) of the 1 st lifting member 231 is detected by the height sensor 228.

The height sensor 228 detects the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveying unit 211 by detecting the position (vertical angle) of the 1 st lifting member 231.

By changing the position of the height sensor 228 along the extending direction of the 1 st elevating member 231 in side view or changing the length of the arm portion 229, the length of the 1 st elevating member 231 (the length between the portion of the lower surface 231c of the 1 st elevating member 231 where the connecting pin 229a of the arm portion 229 contacts and the center axis 2P 2) can be changed.

Accordingly, by setting the ratio of the length of the 1 st elevating member 231 (the length between the portion of the lower surface 231c of the 1 st elevating member 231 where the connecting pin 229a of the arm portion 229 contacts the central axis 2P 2) and the length of the arm portion 229 to an appropriate value, the swing of the 1 st elevating member 231 can be converted into an appropriate range in which the height sensor 228 can be detected without fail, and can be transmitted to the height sensor 228.

(Control in the swing operation and lifting operation of the grain conveying apparatus)

As described above (the structure of the rotation of the grain conveying apparatus), a rotation position sensor (not shown) is provided, which detects the position of the vertical conveying section 209 around the shaft core 2P1 and detects the rotation position of the grain conveying apparatus 206 when the electric motor 223 rotates the grain conveying apparatus 206 around the shaft core 2P 1.

As described above (detection of the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveyance section by the height sensor), the vertical swing position of the horizontal conveyance section 211 is detected by the height sensor 228.

When the operator operates the right and left swing switches, the up switch, and the down switch to move the grain conveying apparatus 206 to the storage position 2A1, the following operation is performed based on the detection by the swing position sensor and the height sensor 228.

As shown in fig. 20, when the operator turns the grain conveying apparatus 206 to the left by the operation of the left turn switch and the lateral conveying unit 211 approaches the driving unit 203 from the right (stroke 2B 1), if the lateral conveying unit 211 reaches the position 2A2 slightly away from the driving unit 203 to the right, the grain conveying apparatus 206 is automatically stopped to operate and the alarm is activated. The operator operates the ascent switch to ascend the lateral conveyance unit 211 (step 2B 2).
