  The raising chain 66 is pivotally connected to the raising chain 66 at an equal pitch so that it can swing up and down, and in the return path where the raising chain 66 moves downward, the raising nail 67 is raised along the chain 66. It moves downward in the lying posture, and is guided by the outer periphery of the first chain guide roller 64, wraps around the lateral movement path while standing, and continues in the state where the standing posture is maintained by the first guide rail 68 fixedly arranged. It is configured to move. The pulling claw 67 that has moved laterally in the standing posture along the lateral movement path is guided to the outer periphery of the second chain guide roller 65 and is guided to the guiding path while maintaining the standing posture, and is raised and fixed to the side of the path. It is configured to move upward in a state where it is erected and guided by the deployed second guide rail 69, and the pulling claw 67 that is detached from the upper end of the second guide rail 69 falls and wraps around the return path. .

  The raising paths of the raising devices 9R and 9L are arranged so as to face each other and are adjacent to each other, and the raising chains 48 and 66 are rotationally driven at the same speed, so that the raising devices 9R and 9L are raised. The claws 49 and 67 are raised and maintained in contact with each other in the path to move upward, thereby causing the crops to escape without escape.

  The winding circumference of the raising chain 66 in the right raising device 9R is longer than the winding circumference of the raising chain 48 in the left raising device 9L by an integral multiple of the nail pitch of the raising claws 67 and 49. It has become. In this example, the shaft center position of the drive sprocket 62 positioned at the upper end of the winding path of the pulling chain 66 in the right pulling apparatus 9R is set to the drive positioned at the upper end of the winding path of the pulling chain 48 in the left pulling apparatus 9L. By setting the sprocket 62 higher than the axial position of the sprocket 62, it is configured so that a long circumferential pulling chain 66 and a short circumferential pulling chain 48 can be pulled up and driven synchronously with the claws 67 and 49 being in contact with each other. ing. The pulling case 60 of the right pulling device 9R is connected to the pulling case 44 of the left pulling device 9L by an arch-shaped reinforcing frame 78.

  The first chain guide roller 64 has a smaller diameter than the second chain guide roller 65, and the chain winding curvature of the first chain guide roller 64 is smaller than the chain winding curvature of the second chain guide roller 65. As a result, the curvature of the tip rotation trajectory of the pulling claw 67 that is guided to the first chain guide roller 64 to turn upright is reduced, and crop scraping and leakage can be reduced.

  By configuring the second chain guide roller 65 in the right pulling device 9R to have a large diameter, when a crop located near the right end of the cutting width W is pulled up and pulled through the lower end of the device 9R, it is guided to the path, It is avoided that the crops are tightly folded by the corner on the raising path side at the lower end of the raising device 9R.

[How to set the cutting width]
A method for setting the cutting width W (the right cutting width W1 and the left cutting width W2) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a schematic plan view for explaining a method for setting the cutting width W (the right cutting width W1 and the left cutting width W2). In the following description, the distance between the adjacent strains of the crop to be harvested with the combine will be referred to as the inter-strip pitch P, and the case where the inter-strip pitch P is about 300 mm will be described as an example. Further, the outer diameter of one crop is referred to as a stock diameter D, and the case where the stock diameter D is about 50 mm will be described as an example. FIGS. 14A and 14B are shown for explaining a method for setting the cutting width W, which is different from the cutting width W described in FIG. 14C and the combine of this embodiment. .

  In the dimension setting of the cutting width Wa (the right cutting width W1a and the left cutting width W2a) as shown in FIG. 14A, the range in the width direction in which the divider 80 is positioned is narrowed, and the divider 80 is accurately positioned. This is necessary and the workability of the mowing work may be deteriorated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), for example, the left trimming width W2a is set to a dimension smaller than the inter-strip pitch P (for example, W2a = 250 mm), and the trimming width Wa is slightly larger than twice the inter-strip pitch P. When set to (for example, Wa = 700 mm), when the center divider 80Ca is positioned at a position close to the left side of the stock, the tip of the left divider 80La may interfere with an uncut crop.

  Specifically, an operator seated in the driver's seat 4a is positioned so as to introduce two uncut crops between the right divider 80Ra and the central divider 80Ca while looking at the right divider 80Ra and the central divider 80Ca. Then, in addition to the operation of the combine, it is necessary to confirm the positional relationship of the divider 80, the positional relationship between the left divider 80La and the uncut crop cannot be sufficiently confirmed, and the central divider 80Ca is positioned closer to the left side of the strain. When positioned, the tip of the left divider 80La may interfere with uncut crops.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, for example, the cutting width Wb is set to a dimension slightly larger than twice the inter-strip pitch P (for example, Wb = 700 mm), and the left trimming width W2b is the same as the inter-strip pitch P (for example, If it is set to W2b = 300 mm), even when the center divider 80Cb is positioned close to the left side of the strain, interference with the uncut crop at the tip of the left divider 80Lb can be prevented. However, even in this case, it is necessary to accurately position the divider 80 while the range in the width direction in which the divider 80 is positioned remains narrow, and the workability of the cutting operation may be deteriorated.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (c), when the cutting width W is set to about 900 mm, which is three times the interval pitch P, and the left-side cutting width W2 is set to about 350 mm obtained by adding the stock diameter D to the interval pitch P ( (If the right cutting width W1 is set to about 550 mm), even when the central divider 80C is positioned close to the left side of the strain, interference with the uncut crop at the tip of the left divider 80L can be prevented, and the right side Wide ranges X, Y, and Z for positioning the divider 80R, the left divider 80L, and the central divider 80C can be secured. As a result, the divider 80 can be easily positioned, and the workability of the cutting operation can be improved.

  The left trimming width W2 may be set to a different dimension (for example, 330 mm, 400 mm) larger than about 300 mm, and the right trimming width W1 is a large dimension or a small dimension (for example, 500 mm, 600 mm) within a range of about 450 mm to about 650 mm. Further, the cutting width W may be set to a large or small dimension (for example, 800 mm, 930 mm) within a range of about 750 mm to about 950 mm.

  In the cutting width W (the right cutting width W1 and the left cutting width W2) shown in FIG. 14C, not only can the wide positioning range of the divider 80 be secured, but also, for example, there is an error in the inter-strip pitch P and the stock diameter D. Even so, the optimum dimension is set so that the divider 80 can be easily positioned.
