Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a combine for continuously cutting and threshing grain culms.

[0002]

Conventionally, there is a technique for transmitting harvesting work by transmitting engine driving force to a mission case that drives a threshing section, a mowing section and a traveling crawler. The structure in which the engine output shaft is oriented in the left-right direction and the power is transmitted through the bevel gear to the handle cylinder by changing the direction by 90 degrees, a bevel gear that withstands the large horsepower required for the handle cylinder is provided, and the oil temperature of the bevel gear installation part is increased. Has risen and the durability is insufficient. In addition, a counter case that supports a fixed rotating shaft (counter shaft) is provided, the output shaft of the transmission case side and the constant rotating shaft are connected by a belt, and the wet clutch in the counter case is turned on to pour the mowing section. In the structure that obtains the driving force, the constant rotation system and the vehicle speed tuning system are separated from each other, so that belt transmission is indispensable, and there is a problem that the engine tends to be rotated along with the wet clutch by operating the engine. Further, in the structure in which the transmission case hydraulic speed change mechanism is provided, the mowing unit is driven by vehicle speed synchronization via the hydraulic speed change force, so that even if the substantial power required for the mowing unit is about 10% of engine horsepower, About 14 percent is required for the hydraulic transmission mechanism that outputs the driving force of the section, resulting in a power loss of 4 percent. Further, in the structure in which the hydraulic motor of the hydraulic speed change mechanism is made variable so as to be the sub-transmission means, the relative speed between the mowing part and the traveling crawler (vehicle speed) is changed by switching the sub-transmission to cope with harvesting of fall culms. Therefore, there is a problem that switching of the auxiliary shift is troublesome and the speed (vehicle speed) when the auxiliary shift is low becomes slow. In addition, an axis that transmits power to the mowing section, an axis that transmits power to the selection mechanism,
In the structure in which each shaft for transmitting power to the feed chain is separately installed, the cost of assembling each shaft is high, maintenance is disadvantageous, and there is a problem that the structure for synchronizing the vehicle speed of the feed chain cannot be easily configured. Also, the loss of horsepower of the hydraulic transmission installed in the mission case is about 1 of engine power.
In the structure of 0%, the power of the engine is wasted or the fuel efficiency is deteriorated, the capacity of the oil cooler for lowering the oil temperature must be increased, and there is a problem that the worker feels insufficient horsepower.

In the combine with the feed chain input shaft that transmits the power, the feed chain speed change mechanism that changes the rotation of the selection input shaft by the change in the rotation speed of the vehicle speed tuning shaft is provided. It is possible to reduce the power required for threshing by thinning the threshing straw layer during work.

Further, a planetary gear mechanism including a sun gear, a planetary gear and a ring gear forms a feed chain transmission mechanism, the sun gear is driven through a selection input shaft, the ring gear is rotated through a vehicle speed tuning shaft, and the planetary gear is passed through. The feed chain drive force is transmitted to the feed chain input shaft.The sun chain is placed on the lower side of the threshing clutch so that the feed chain can be driven only when the handling cylinder is driven, and the feed chain speed changes from low constant rotation to high rotation. Can be shifted in synchronism with the vehicle speed, and can easily prevent jamming of transport straw in low-speed work and threshing overload in high-speed work.

Further, a reaping input shaft connected to the selection input shaft and the vehicle speed tuning shaft is provided on the lower front side of the counter case, a selection input shaft is provided on the lower rear side of the counter case, and a feed chain input shaft is provided on the upper side of the counter case.

Each transmission system can be configured, and the feed chain can be easily driven at a speed synchronized with the vehicle speed while ensuring a constant minimum speed.

Further, when the driving speed of the mowing section becomes slow under the condition that the transfer grain culm is present in the mowing section, the operation of driving the mowing section at the pouring speed is automatically performed. Compared to the one that operates the mowing part only by manual operation with the pouring pedal, it is possible to easily eliminate the problem of forgetting the pouring operation or shifting the timing,
It is possible to easily prevent the grain culms from being clogged.

Then, the pouring driving force is turned on and off by the claw clutch 79 to prevent accompanying rotation and reduce the response delay, and the cutting unit 8 is pouring driven at 50 to 80% of the maximum number of rotations to prevent clogging and reduce the working time. A mowing gear change mechanism 73 for reducing the loss and changing the driving speed of the mowing unit 8 is internally provided in the counter case 32, and the mowing gear change is performed in a state where the auxiliary gear shift is maintained at a standard (low speed). Complete reaper corresponding like lodging culms by switching, for example, a hydraulic transmission mechanism 107
There is no trouble of controlling the sub-transmission changing means by the variable hydraulic motor 106 that is configured by making the hydraulic motor of the variable type. Even if the work is performed in the state, the vehicle speed synchronizing speed of the mowing unit is changed to an appropriate speed, and the neutral of the mowing speed change mechanism 73 is also used as a mowing clutch, so that it is not necessary to separately provide a mowing clutch, and the mowing input belt 45 is always tensioned. The structure will improve durability.

A rotational force equal to or higher than the rotational speed of the vehicle speed tuning input from the mission case 23 can be input from the constant rotation shaft 71 to the vehicle speed tuning input shaft 72. For example, the hydraulic motor 106 of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 is variable. When the sub-transmission means is formed by changing the rotation of the mowing unit 8 from the vehicle speed synchronization to the constant rotation when the working speed is the highest, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 is reduced by the difference in the number of rotations to improve the efficiency. For example, when the mechanical auxiliary transmission means 113 is formed by a transmission gear having a stepped switching structure, the rotation of the reaper 8 is freely increased by switching to a constant rotation near the maximum working speed, and the vehicle speed is synchronized. From the constant rotation to the constant rotation and the switch to turn on the pouring drive of the reaper 8 to selectively perform either the constant rotation or the pouring drive. As a result, the problem that two inputs having different rotational speeds are simultaneously transmitted to the mowing section 8 is eliminated, and in the structure in which the auxiliary transmission means using the variable hydraulic motor 106 is provided, the gear shifting of the mowing section 8 is changed from low to high. Even if the rotation speed of the mowing unit 8 is increased, the vehicle speed synchronization can be switched to a constant rotation in the middle of the rotation becoming excessively high, which improves durability and reduces driving noise. .

Further, in the combine in which the hydraulic transmission mechanism 107 for transmitting the power of the engine 21 is provided in the transmission case 23, a constant rotating shaft 71 is provided in the threshing portion 4 below the threshing clutch 63 for transmitting the power of the engine 21,
A constant rotation mechanism 79 and a constant rotation clutch 78 that transmit the power of the constant rotation shaft 71 to the output side of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 are provided. Then, for example, by transmitting the output of the engine 21 to the output side of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 via the constant rotation mechanism 79 at the maximum work speed, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 is changed to the charge pressure to eliminate the hydraulic pressure change loss, and the hydraulic speed change mechanism is transmitted. 10
7 to reduce the power loss of traveling drive, improve the fuel efficiency of the engine 21, and form the oil cooler 29 of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 to have a small capacity, even if the traveling load becomes large, such as a direction change in a wetland. The operator performs a driving operation without feeling a lack of running power, reduces the output loss of the engine 21, and the like, recovers the power loss of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107, and drives the running crawler at the highest speed with high efficiency. It is possible to improve the driving operability by enabling the highest speed work with a margin.

Further, when the working vehicle speed transmitted via the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 becomes close to the maximum speed, the constant rotation clutch 78 is manually or automatically turned on and the constant rotation clutch 78 is turned on.
The increase in the vehicle speed (about 5%) by the difference between the volumetric efficiency (generally 75%) and the constant rotation output (generally 90%) of the hydraulic transmission 107 increases the vehicle speed. On the other hand, it requires less power,
The remaining engine 21 power is used to drive the working unit to secure the power required for the highest speed work, and a driving force of substantially the same rotational speed as the rotational speed at which the volumetric efficiency of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 becomes approximately 100%. By transmitting from the constant rotation mechanism 79 and designing the power of the engine 21 in accordance with the work maximum speed, there is a margin of power up to near the maximum speed, but when there is almost no margin of power at the maximum speed, The same effect can be expected when the engine 21 horsepower is increased by recovering the loss, and the power required for maximum speed work can be easily secured.

Further, when the work vehicle speed decreases from around the maximum work speed, the constant rotation clutch 78 is automatically disengaged, and the power of the engine 21 is designed to match the maximum work speed. Therefore, for example, even if the operator does not recognize that the work vehicle speed has decreased from the work maximum speed, the work vehicle speed can be reduced by simply performing an operation to reduce the work vehicle speed at the highest speed with almost no power. Due to the decrease, the highest speed working state is automatically released to improve the durability of the engine 21 and the fuel consumption.

Further, as shown in the flow chart of FIG. 20, the auxiliary shift lever 114 is operated at a low speed or a high speed.
When the threshing clutch lever 118 is operated to enter the threshing clutch 63, the feed chain solenoid 136 is kept off and the feed chain 5 is driven. Further, when the reaping shift lever 122 is operated at a low speed or a high speed and the reaping clutch lever 120 is operated to engage the reaping clutch 69, the reaping unit 8 is driven in synchronization with the vehicle speed. Also, when reaping work,
When the flow-in pedal 125 is stepped on with a foot, the flow-in solenoid 137 is turned on, and the flow-in gear 8 is turned on.
When the mowing unit 8 is driven at a constant speed via 0, the grain culm sensor 132 is turned on, and the mowing unit 8 is driven via the low speed gear 74 as shown in FIG.
When the traveling (moving speed) detected by 1 is below a certain level, or when the main shift lever 112 is operated to stop or reverse, the flow-in solenoid 137 is automatically turned on and remains in the mowing section 8. All the grain culms that are present are conveyed to the threshing unit 4, and when there is no grain culm in the mowing unit 8 and the mowing unit 8 is stopped except when traveling forward, the feed chain solenoid 136 is turned on. Stop 5 automatically.

Further, when the cutting gear shift lever 122 is operated to be neutral while traveling forward, the high speed cut solenoid 138 is turned on to drive the cutting section 8 via the high speed cut gear 81, and at the same time as shown in FIG. As described above, when the mowing gear shift lever 122 is not in the neutral position, the mowing unit 8 and the feed chain 5 are driven at a speed synchronized with the vehicle speed. Also, FIG.
Under the condition of No. 4, when the auxiliary shift lever 114 is on the low speed side and the mowing shift lever 122 is on the low speed side, the direct drive switch 129 is manually turned on, or when the vehicle speed is near the maximum work speed. , The cutting unit 8 is driven via the high speed cut gear 81, and the drive solenoid 139 is directly turned on to transmit the power from the high speed cut gear 81 to the output side of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 so that the traveling crawler 2 is driven via the high speed cut gear 81. Drive at high speed. Further, when the direct drive switch 129 is turned off, or when the vehicle speed decreases from the highest work speed, the direct drive solenoid 139 is turned off, the direct drive clutch 78 is manually or automatically turned off, and the high speed cut gear 81 is cut. Power is transmitted only to the part 8 side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, when the cutting unit 8 is driven through the high speed gear 75, the cutting input sensor 1
When the speed of rotation of the high-speed cutting gear 81 is reached by the cutting unit 8, the speed of rotation of the high-speed cutting gear 81 is stopped and the high-speed cutting gear 81 is automatically driven. Further, due to the rotation difference A between the high speed constant rotation of the high speed cut gear 81 and the standard cutting of the low speed gear 74, the constant high speed rotation reduces the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 to improve the efficiency and drive the charge pump. When the amount of the difference A is set to zero, theoretically, the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 does not perform the work for driving the mowing section 8, so that the mowing section 8 is mechanically driven only by the gears 80 and 81. The output of the engine 21 can be used with the drive loss of the hydraulic speed change mechanism 107 as power for the threshing unit 4.
