Description

  The present invention relates to a threshing / sorting device provided in a combine or the like, and more particularly, to a threshing / sorting device including at least a two-stage leakage sorting unit in a swing sorting unit.

  Generally, a threshing / sorting device provided in a combine or the like includes a handling chamber having a handling cylinder and a swinging sorter that swings and sorts a processing object dropped from the handling chamber. Usually, the rocking sorter has a leakage sorting part such as a chaff sheave, and the grains transferred onto the leakage sorting part are removed from the gap of the leakage sorting part as the rocking sorter swings. Sorted by leaking.

There is also known a threshing sorting apparatus in which the leakage sorting unit is configured in two stages. For example, according to the threshing apparatus described in Patent Document 1, not only the grain is selected in two stages by the upper and lower two-stage leakage selection section (leakage lower part), but also the upper stage leakage selection section and the lower stage leakage selection. Since the opening of the section is automatically controlled, the sorting accuracy and sorting efficiency can be improved.
Japanese Patent No. 2777014

  However, since the threshing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 operates the upper and lower two-stage leakage sorting units in an associated manner, it is difficult to reveal various opening degree adjustment patterns. That is, since the relationship between the opening degree of the upper stage leakage sorting part and the opening degree of the lower stage leakage sorting part is uniquely defined, there is a problem that wide opening degree adjustment is limited. Further, Patent Document 1 shows an embodiment in which the opening degree of a two-stage leakage selection unit is adjusted by two actuators. In this case, however, there is an inconvenience that an increase in actuators causes an increase in cost. .

The present invention has been created with the object of solving these problems in view of the above-described circumstances, and is configured to swing and sort a handling chamber in which a handling cylinder is installed and a processing object dropped from the handling chamber. In a threshing sorting apparatus provided with a swing sorting body and provided with at least two upper and lower leakage sorting sections on the swing sorting body, the opening adjustment of the lower leakage sorting section is performed by automatic control. The opening adjustment of the upper stage leakage sorting unit is performed independently of the lower stage leakage sorting unit. If it does in this way, the opening degree adjustment of a various pattern will be attained by the independent opening degree adjustment of an upper stage leakage selection part and a lower stage leakage selection part. Thereby, compared with what operates the up-and-down leak selection part linked | coordinated, a wide adjustment is enabled and the improvement of a selection precision and selection efficiency can be aimed at.
The opening degree adjustment of the upper stage leakage selection unit is performed by manual operation. In this way, the opening degree of the upper stage leakage sorting part and the lower stage leakage sorting part can be adjusted independently, but the addition of an opening degree adjusting actuator is not required, and an increase in cost can be avoided.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a threshing / sorting device. The threshing / sorting device 1 includes a threshing feed chain 3 that conveys stalks along the handling chamber 2, and a threshing-finished stalks after-treatment unit 4. A waste handling device 5 that transports to the inside of the handling chamber 2 and a handling cylinder 6 that is rotatably mounted in the handling chamber 2 and threshs the processed material (grains including the mixture) from the conveying stem, and leaks the threshed processed material here. A first receiving net 7 to be lowered, a processing cylinder 8 for single-processing the processed material which has reached the end of the handling chamber 2 without leaking from the first receiving network 7, and the processed material which has been converted into a single particle here A second receiving network 9 that leaks water, a rocking sorting body 10 that rocks and sorts the processed material leaked from the first receiving network 7 and the second receiving network 9, and a sorting in front of the rocking sorting body 10 The wind fan 11 that generates wind, the first spiral 12 that collects the first thing, the second spiral 13 that collects the second thing, and the second selection in front of the second spiral 13 And a dust collecting chamber 15 provided above the terminal portion of the swing sorting body 10 and a dust collecting fan 16 rotatably mounted in the dust collecting chamber 15. Has been.

  The oscillating sorter 10 includes a oscillating flow plate 17 that sequentially conveys the processed material leaked from the first receiving net 7 to the rear, and a layered sorting (specific gravity selection) of the processed material at the end of the oscillating flow plate 17. The chaff sheave (leakage selection unit) 18 and 19, the granule sheave (leakage selection unit) 20 that sifts and sorts the processed material leaked from the chaff sheaves 18 and 19 with a net member, and the chaff sheave 19 are arranged behind The swing assembly includes a stroking rack 21 that is swingably supported in the sorting chamber S and is continuously reciprocated at a predetermined cycle by a drive mechanism (crank mechanism, cam mechanism, etc.) (not shown). Moved.

  The swing sorter 10 of the present embodiment includes a pair of left and right handles 10a at the rear end. Specifically, a U-shaped plate is welded to the rear surface plate of the swing sorter 10. In this way, when the swing sorter 10 is put in and taken out (detached), the swing sorter 10 can be easily held, so that workability can be improved. In addition, since the handle 10a is provided so as not to protrude from the rear end of the swinging sorter 10, not only the sorting performance is not affected, but also the size of the swinging sorter 10 can be avoided.

  The chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are configured in two upper and lower stages with a predetermined interval. In other words, the grain transferred rearward from the oscillating flow plate 17 is subjected to layered sorting at the upper chaff sheave 18 and then dropped onto the lower chaff sheave 19. Fall into. Thereby, the layered sorting by the chaff sheaves 18 and 19 can be performed in two stages, and the sorting accuracy and sorting efficiency can be improved. In this embodiment, the grain leaked from the lower chaff sheave 19 is further screened by the grain sieve 20, but a configuration without the grain sieve 20 may be used.

  The compressed air fan 11 is housed in the fan case 22, and blows the selection air toward the swinging sorter 10 from the three air outlets 22 a to 22 c formed in the rear part thereof. The three air vents 22a to 22c are arranged in the vertical direction, the upper air vent 22a is communicated with the front end of the sorting air passage formed between the upper chaff sheave 18 and the lower chaff sheave 19, and the middle air vent 22b is The lower air vent (main sorting air outlet) 22c communicates with the front end of the sorting air passage formed between the lower chaff sheave 19 and the Glen sheave 20, and the lower air blowing port (main sorting air outlet) 22c is the air passage of the sorting air passage formed between the Glen sheave 20 and the first spiral 12. It communicates with the front end. In this way, wind sorting is performed between the upper chaff sheave 18 and the lower chaff sheave 19, between the lower chaff sheave 19 and the Glen sheave 20, and further between the Glen sheave 20 and the first spiral 12, thereby improving the sorting accuracy and sorting efficiency. Can be made.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, each chaff sheave 18, 19 includes a plurality of fins 18 a, 19 a that are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction. Each fin 18a, 19a is inclined in a front-rear and a rear-high state, and the grain is leaked from the gap between the fins while the processed material is transferred backward as the swinging sorter 10 swings. However, when such chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are arranged in two upper and lower stages, and the front end of the selected air passage formed between the upper and lower two-stage chaff sheaves 18 and 19 is communicated with the air outlet 22a of the compressed air fan 11. The sorting wind (strong wind that has not passed through the lower chaff sheave 19) flowing from the front between the upper and lower chaff sheaves 18 and 19 easily passes through the upper chaff sheave 18. As a result, a strong wind blows from the upper chaff sheave 18 (so-called air curtain), which may hinder the transfer of the processing object, and a strong wind blowing from the upper chaff sheave 18 hits the processing object in the processing chamber 2. There is also the possibility of reducing the threshing accuracy.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the threshing sorting apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a bent portion 18b that suppresses the blowing of the sorting wind is formed at the upper end portion of the fin 18a that constitutes the upper chaff sheave 18. Specifically, the upper end portion of the fin 18a is bent backward. In this way, even if the front end of the sorting air passage formed between the upper and lower two-stage chaff sheaves 18 and 19 is communicated with the air blowing port 22a of the compressed air fan 11, the blowing up of the sorting air in the upper chaff sheave 18 can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to perform good wind selection between the upper and lower two-stage chaff sheaves 18 and 19 without hindering the transfer of the object to be processed on the upper-stage chaff sheave 18 or adversely affecting the object to be processed in the handling chamber 2. Moreover, in the lower chaff sheave 19, since a bent portion is not formed at the upper end portion of the fin 19a, it is possible to allow an appropriate sorting air to pass and to improve the sorting accuracy.

  In addition, the rear end portion of the upper chaff sheave 18 according to the present embodiment is a line connecting the upper end portion of the lower air blowing port (main sorting air outlet) 22c, which is the main sorting air outlet, and the front end portion of the dust exhaust chamber 15. It is located on the front side. In this way, the upper chaff sheave 18 does not affect the flow of the main sorting air, so that the main sorting air can be well blown and the sorting accuracy can be improved.

  The fin angles of the fins 18a and 19a constituting the chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are adjustable, and clearance adjustment between the fins (hereinafter referred to as fin opening adjustment) is performed according to the fin angle adjustment. For example, depending on the type of processed material (for example, rice, wetting material, wheat), the amount of processed material on the oscillating flow plate 17 and chaff sheaves 18 and 19, the air volume and wind speed in the sorting air path, the vehicle speed of the combine, etc. The fin opening is adjusted. In the threshing sorting apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the fin opening adjustment mechanisms 23 and 24 of the respective chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are independently configured in order to be able to adjust the fin opening of the upper and lower chaff sheaves 18 and 19. is doing. In this way, the opening adjustment of various patterns becomes possible by the independent opening adjustment of the upper chaff sheave 18 and the lower chaff sheave 19, so that a wide range of adjustment is possible as compared with the one in which the upper and lower chaff sheaves 18, 19 are linked and operated. And improve sorting accuracy and sorting efficiency.

  Next, the fin opening adjustment mechanisms 23 and 24 will be described with reference to FIGS. The fins 18 a and 19 a constituting the chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are supported by the left and right side plates 10 b of the swing sorter 10 via a rotation shaft 25 so as to be rotatable. Further, the fins 18a and 19a are linked by a linkage rod 26 as a set of a predetermined number, and rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the same set of fins 18a and 19a. For example, the upper chaff sheave 18 is composed of three fins 18a that are linked and operated as one set, and the lower chaff sheave 19 is composed of 18 fins 19a that are linked and operated as four groups (4 to 5 sheets). Composed.

  The fin opening adjustment mechanism 24 of the lower chaff sheave 19 includes an arm 27 fixed to each rotation shaft 25, a drive plate 28 that can slide back and forth along the side plate of the swing sorter 10, and the drive plate. A motor 29 that forcibly slides 28 and a fin opening sensor 30 that detects the position of the drive plate 28 are provided.

  The arm 27 includes a roller 27a pivotally attached to the tip, and is urged upward by a spring (not shown) so that the roller 27a abuts on the cam side 28a of the drive plate 28. The drive plate 28 is supported so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction by fitting the elongated holes 28b to the pair of front and rear guide pins 10c, and includes a rack-like gear portion 28c at the front end. The motor 29 has a speed reduction mechanism, and forcibly slides the drive plate 28 by forward / reverse driving of the pinion gear 29a meshing with the gear portion 28c. The fin opening sensor 30 is composed of, for example, a potentiometer, and detects the position of the drive plate 28 by elastically engaging a detection arm 30a fixed to the sensor shaft with a part of the drive plate 28.

  As described above, the fin opening degree adjusting mechanism 24 of the lower chaff sheave 19 is an electric type that changes the opening degree of the fins 19a according to the driving of the motor 29. When the motor 29 is driven, the driving plate 28 slides. As a result, the arm 27 rotates. When the arm 27 rotates, the fin 19a linked to the arm 27 rotates and the fin opening degree is changed. When the fin opening is changed, the fin opening sensor 30 detects a change in the fin opening based on the position detection of the drive plate 28.

  In the threshing sorter 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the fin opening adjustment of the lower chaff sheave 19 is automatically controlled. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the threshing sorting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment has a control unit 31 configured by a microcomputer or the like, and includes a motor 29, a fin opening sensor 30, and an air volume sensor 32. Etc. are connected to automatically adjust the fin opening of the lower chaff sheave 19. The air volume sensor 32 detects the amount of the processed material in the swing sorting body 10 based on the air volume of the main sorting air path. For example, when the amount of processed material is large and the air flow sensor value is large, the fin opening of the lower chaff sheave 19 is increased, and when the amount of processed material is small and the air flow sensor value is small, the fin of the lower chaff sheave 19 is small. Reduce the opening. The air volume sensor 32 is provided in a detection air path that communicates the main sorting air path with the outside air, and detects the air volume of the main sorting air path based on the wind speed of the outside air that flows in according to the air volume of the main sorting air path. Do.

  On the other hand, the fin opening adjustment mechanism 23 of the upper chaff sheave 18 includes an arm 33 fixed to the rotating shaft 25 and an opening adjustment bolt 34 that fixes the arm 33 at an arbitrary angle. Yes. The arm 33 is formed with an arc-shaped elongated hole 33a centering on the rotation shaft 25, and an opening adjusting bolt 34 is penetrated therethrough. When the opening adjustment bolt 34 is loosened, manual opening adjustment of the fin 18a is allowed, while when the opening adjustment bolt 34 is tightened, the rotation of the fin 18a is restricted. That is, since the fin opening adjustment mechanism 23 of the upper chaff sheave 18 is a manual adjustment type, even if the opening adjustment is performed independently of the lower chaff sheave 19, the addition of an actuator for adjusting the opening is unnecessary, resulting in an increase in cost. Can be avoided. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the fin opening of the upper chaff sheave 18 is adjusted when the type of processed material (rice, wet material, wheat, etc.) is changed, and is not adjusted darkly at other times. ing.

  According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the handling chamber 2 having the handling cylinder 6 provided therein and the swing sorting body 10 for swinging and sorting the processing object dropped from the handling chamber 2 are provided. In the threshing sorter 1 in which the upper and lower chaff sheaves 18, 19 are provided on the moving sorter 10, the opening adjustment of the lower chaff sheave 19 is automatically controlled and the opening adjustment of the upper chaff sheave 18 is adjusted with the lower chaff sheave 19. Since the steps are performed independently, the opening degree can be adjusted in various patterns. As a result, a wider range of adjustment is possible than in the case where the upper and lower chaff sheaves 18 and 19 are linked and the sorting accuracy and sorting efficiency can be improved.

  Further, since the opening adjustment of the upper chaff sheave 18 is performed by manual operation, the opening adjustment of the upper chaff sheave 18 and the lower chaff sheave 19 can be independently performed, but the addition of an opening adjusting actuator is unnecessary, and the cost is reduced. You can avoid up.

  Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the chaff sheave is applied as the upper and lower two-stage leakage sorting section. Or a combination of chaff sheave and glensheve.
