There is almost no time, etc., and the harvesting operation of the combine can be efficiently performed in a state where there is no wasteful time in good timing as a whole.

  Next, when performing harvesting and threshing work by a combine, the work is often performed by setting a target harvest amount on the day in advance. Examples thereof will be described below. Usually, the harvesting work of the combine is carried out after the grain harvested from the field is carried into a home or drying facility (rice center, country elevator, etc.) for drying and storage. In the case of a rice center, processing capacity is limited, and the amount of grains that can be carried (accepted) in a day is determined.

Therefore, the harvesting operation of the combine is completed within the range by setting the target harvest amount for the day.
In the embodiment described below, a monitor display device is provided in the combiner, and the working time (required time) until reaching the set target harvest amount and the time at which the target harvest amount is reached are displayed on the monitor.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, the controller 30 has an auger clutch sensor 31, a full sensor 32, an empty sensor 33, a target yield setting dial 34, a speed sensor 35, a cutting, a threshing clutch sensor 36, and a culm sensor on the input side. 37 is connected to each other so that setting values and detection information are input. The controller 30 is provided with a monitor display device 38 connected to the output side, and displays the work time (required time) and the work end time.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the Glen tank 40 is provided with a discharge spiral 41 on the bottom surface, an empty detection sensor 33 is provided in the immediate vicinity thereof, and a full sensor 32 is provided at the uppermost position. As described above, the detection information is input to the controller 30.

  The monitor display device 38 configured as described above starts the cutting and threshing operation by starting up the controller 30 and setting the target harvest amount by the target harvest amount setting dial 34. Then, the controller 30 inputs that the glen tank 40 immediately before the start is empty as the detection information by the sky detection sensor 33, integrates the time required until the full tank sensor 32 detects full tank, The time can be determined and displayed on the monitor display 38.

Therefore, the operator can estimate the approximate required time to the target if there is a single display of the work result.
Next, since it is important to integrate the time during which the combine is actually performing the harvesting and threshing work, the above-described work time is high speed (on-road travel speed) as shown in the flowchart of FIG. ) Is detected by the speed sensor 35, and the time is deleted, and only the time during which the mowing and threshing clutch switch 36 is ON (the time detected by the speed sensor 35 as the work speed) is used. It is assumed to be calculated by integrating.

  In this way, the controller 30 can accurately measure the time required from the start of work to full tank by accurately calculating the actual working time during which the combine is cutting and threshing.

  Similarly, as another means for accurately grasping the actual working time, in another embodiment, the controller 30 replaces the reaping and threshing clutch switch 36 or both the reaping and threshing clutch switch 36 with the cereal sensor 37. Is used to accurately calculate the working time by accumulating the ON time of the culm sensor 37 that detects the presence or absence of the culm being conveyed.

  As described above, if the accurate work time from the start of work to full tank is displayed on the monitor display device 38, the operator can estimate the required time until the target amount is harvested.

  Then, if the controller 30 inputs the target yield in advance and performs the mowing and threshing operation, the operation starts with the glen tank 40 being empty as shown in the flowchart of FIG. It is possible to calculate the time required to reach the target yield and the time to reach the target yield. The monitor display device 38 can display the work time (required time) and time obtained as described above.

  As described above, the work time (required time) and the work end time are in a relation of the front and back, and the controller 30 can automatically calculate the other if one is obtained as a result of the calculation. They can be displayed side by side on the monitor display device 38.

  The work time and the end time are times calculated on the assumption that the mowing and threshing work is continuously continued. Since this is a time, it can be predicted based on past data. Therefore, it is necessary to always correct and display the required time and end time with high accuracy.

  For this purpose, the controller 30 according to the embodiment, for example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, after inputting the target yield, inputs the cutting speed, inputs the yield per unit distance, and the number of full tanks. Count, what is important is that the culm sensor 37 is turned on first during work, and secondly, the cutting speed is sampled and corrected based on the actual work rate out of the whole work time. The cutting time (or the average value of the cutting speed) is obtained and corrected to calculate the work time and the end time.

  As described above, the monitor display device 38 increases the frequency of correction calculation by the controller 30 and fills up the Glen tank 40 in order to correct and display a more accurate one as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Although it is natural to make corrections for each discharge at the time, it is possible to display the remaining work time and the end time for reaching the target harvest amount by operating the switch when necessary, so that a more accurate device can be displayed. ing.

  Note that the controller 30 according to this embodiment may calculate the yield per unit area by calculating based on the working time and travel distance until the full tank of the Glen tank 40 and the registered yield data. it can.
