Description

  The present invention relates to a general-purpose combine for harvesting crops such as rice, wheat, soybeans, buckwheat, etc., with a scraping reel.

  The header section (cutting section) of the general-purpose combiner is provided with a scraping reel having a tine that is always held facing downward in order to satisfactorily scrape the cereal into the platform. In addition, the take-up reel can be moved up and down with respect to the header part, and it is attached so that the position can be adjusted back and forth, and it is configured so that it can be scraped at the optimum position according to the growth situation and lodging situation of the planted cereal. ing.

  In addition, the reel rotation speed change device that changes the rotation speed of the take-up reel by a reel speed change actuator and the reel rotation speed manual operation means for operating the rotation speed of the reel are provided, and the rotation speed of the reel is changed according to the work situation etc. To do. Alternatively, it is known to provide a reel rotation automatic control that includes a vehicle speed detection means and controls the rotation speed of the reel in conjunction with the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection means (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, when the header part (reaping part) is driven by a forward / reverse motor, and when the feeder or auger is clogged with cereal, the feeder or auger is driven in reverse to discharge the cereal cereal.

  By the way, when harvesting soybeans with a general-purpose combine or soybean combine, some head loss is greatly affected by the operating conditions of the scraping reel that causes fallen soybeans or scrapes the harvested soybeans, and the reel speed is combined. Even if it is slow or fast, the loss increases. In other words, when the reel speed is slow, the percentage of the harvested soybeans that cannot be completely taken into the header section and falling into the field as stems increases, and conversely, if the reel speed is too fast, the impact of the reel Research has shown that the rate of falling into the field in the form of single grains increases as the soybeans are beaten and split by force.

  In addition, damaged grains of soybean are greatly affected by grain moisture. When grain moisture is 20% or more, damaged grains mainly composed of crushed grains, and conversely, even when grain moisture is low, lacerations occur. Damaged grains such as peas and broken beans may increase. In addition, when the moisture content is 20% or more, many of the grains themselves swell centering on the length direction, so that damaged grains are likely to be generated in the transport path. Therefore, when considering damaged grains, it is desirable to carry out harvesting after the grain moisture has fallen to 18% or less. When low moisture soybeans are harvested and there are many occurrences of crushed grains, the peripheral speed of the handling cylinder Need to slow down.

  Therefore, in the general-purpose combine shown in Patent Document 1, the feeder, auger, and cutting blade are driven by the power transmitted to the cutting unit, and the take-up reel is driven via the reel rotation transmission device, and manual operation means and The reel rotation is controlled by automatic control means that synchronizes with the vehicle speed, so that the occurrence of head loss is suppressed. However, in this general-purpose combiner, a split pulley type belt continuously variable transmission is used as the reel rotation transmission and this continuously variable transmission is shifted by a reel transmission actuator, so it is difficult to reduce the reel speed. Therefore, there is a troublesome matter such as separately changing parts and reducing the reel speed.

  That is, since the split pulley type belt continuously variable transmission changes gear speed by changing the belt pitch diameter of one transmission pulley when the belt pitch diameter of one transmission pulley is changed, The gear ratio range is narrow due to restrictions. Also, even if the speed is changed to the lowest speed, a predetermined low speed is always output, so a stepless speed change from zero speed is not always possible, and all crops, growing conditions, lodging conditions, etc. are considered. When the maximum speed of the take-up reel is set high, the minimum speed increases accordingly, and an appropriate reel speed according to the crop is not always obtained.

  On the other hand, as shown in Patent Document 2, when the cutting unit is driven by a forward / reverse motor, the output rotation can be switched to forward / reverse rotation, and stepless shifting from zero rotation can be performed. The speed of the take-up reel can be changed appropriately according to the crop and the like. However, in this case, since all parts of the cutting part are driven by the forward / reverse motor, the feeder or auger becomes insufficiently rotated when the forward / reverse motor is shifted to a low speed in order to make the speed of the take-up reel appropriate. There is a possibility that the auger cannot properly feed the crop to the feeder, or the crop stays on the platform and causes clogging.

  Moreover, in the general-purpose combine shown in Patent Document 2, if the forward and reverse motors are rotated in the reverse direction so that crops jammed in the feeder or auger are discharged, the clogging can be removed relatively easily, and the removal work time is shortened. As a result, work efficiency can be improved. However, in Patent Document 1, since a feeder or auger reversing device is not provided, it is difficult to remove crops jammed in the feeder or auger, and when a new reversing device is provided, the cost increases. Forcibly reversing the feeder or auger at high speed may cause clogging or damage to the feeder or auger. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a check means for rotating at a low speed including Patent Document 2. Don't be.

  Therefore, in view of such problems, the present invention is a general-purpose device that can always properly change the rotation speed of the take-up reel according to the crop or the like without causing a bad take-up due to insufficient rotation of the feeder or auger. The issue is to provide a combine. In addition, the present invention provides a general purpose combiner that can easily regulate the number of rotations of the feeder or auger during reverse rotation to a predetermined low rotation while suppressing an increase in cost when adding a feeder or auger reverse rotation device. This is the issue.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a header including a driving unit, a control unit, and a threshing unit in a machine body provided with a traveling device, and a scraping reel, a cutting blade, an auger, and a feeder in front of the machine body. In the general-purpose combiner provided with a part, the power of the driving part is transmitted to the traveling device via the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (traveling HST) and branched to the threshing part and the header part via the work machine clutch. The power transmitted to the header portion is transmitted to the auger and the feeder via the first transmission device, while the second transmission device including the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) is transmitted. And is configured to transmit to the take-up reel and the cutting blade.

  Further, according to the present invention, secondly, a forward / reverse switching mechanism is provided in the first transmission device, and when the forward / reverse switching mechanism is switched to a reverse rotation state, a hydrostatic type is provided in the second transmission device. The auger and feeder are reversely rotated through a continuously variable disguise device (transport HST).

  Further, according to the present invention, thirdly, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveyance HST) provided in the second transmission device is based on manual setting or detection of the vehicle speed during the cutting operation by the electronic control unit. In addition, when the auger and the feeder are reversely rotated, the shift control is performed so that a predetermined low rotational speed is obtained.

  According to the present invention, fourthly, the second transmission device is provided with a reel / cutting blade clutch, and the electronic control unit is configured such that the forward / reverse switching mechanism is switched to a reverse rotation state, and the reel / cutting blade clutch. When it is detected that the gear has been disconnected, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) provided in the second transmission device is controlled to change to a predetermined low speed.

  According to the general-purpose combine of the present invention, the power of the prime mover is transmitted to the traveling device via the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (traveling HST) and branched to the threshing portion and the header portion via the work implement clutch. The power transmitted to the header portion is transmitted to the auger and the feeder via the first transmission device, while the second transmission device including the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) is transmitted. Therefore, the power of the prime mover is transmitted to the auger and feeder via the first transmission device, and the auger and feeder are always driven at a rotation speed that is not excessive or insufficient. It is possible to quickly clean the crops on the platform and prevent scraping defects and clogging.

  Further, the power of the prime mover is transmitted to the take-up reel and the cutting blade via the second transmission device, and the gear ratio width is widened by the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveyance HST) provided in the second transmission device. Thus, the take-up reel and the cutting blade can be driven, whereby the number of revolutions of the take-up reel can be appropriately changed according to the crop and the like, and the head loss in the header portion can be suppressed. In addition, when the take-up reel is driven through the continuously variable transmission on the lower transmission side of the header part, the continuously variable transmission is provided in the header part. Although it is disadvantageous in terms of operation and strength, if the power transmitted to the header part is branched on the transmission side of the header part via the first transmission device and the second transmission device, the hydrostatic stepless The disguise device (conveyance HST) can be installed on the machine body side and does not suffer from the above disadvantages.

  Further, when the first transmission device is provided with a forward / reverse switching mechanism and the forward / reverse switching mechanism is switched to the reverse rotation state, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveying HST) provided in the second transmission device is provided. When the auger and the feeder are rotated in reverse, the crops jammed in the feeder or auger can be discharged and the clogging can be removed. In addition, when adding a feeder or auger reversing device, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) provided in the second transmission device can be used for the reversing device, and an increase in cost can be suppressed. In addition, since the auger and the feeder can be reversely rotated at low speed by the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveyance HST), it is not necessary to provide a speed reducer.

  Furthermore, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveyance HST) provided in the second transmission device is subjected to gear shifting control based on manual setting and detection of the vehicle speed during the cutting operation by the electronic control unit. When the feeder is reversely rotated, if the speed is controlled so as to be a predetermined low speed, the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) is freed from the troublesome manual shifting operation. Besides, the speed of the take-up reel can be accurately adjusted to an appropriate one, and the auger and the feeder can be reliably reversely rotated at a low speed.

  The second transmission device is provided with a reel / cutting blade clutch, and the electronic control unit detects that the forward / reverse switching mechanism is switched to the reverse rotation state and the reel / cutting blade clutch is disconnected. If the hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (transport HST) provided in the transmission device 2 is controlled so as to achieve a predetermined low rotational speed, there is no possibility of erroneously reversely rotating the auger and the feeder during the cutting operation. At the same time, when the crop jammed in the feeder or auger is discharged by rotating it in reverse, the crop with the scraping reel is returned to the platform again, and the cutting blade prevents it from being cut, so that it can be safely jammed. Can be removed.

  Next, the power transmission system of a general purpose combiner will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the power generated by the engine 50 serving as a power source is branched and transmitted from the output pulleys 50a to 50e to the traveling system and the working system via the belt. The traveling system power is transmitted to a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (traveling HST) 51.

Hereinafter, the power transmission system of the header part 7 driven via the pulley 58a will be described.

  That is, in the header portion 7, the power of the engine 50 is transmitted from the pulley 58 a to the counter shaft 60 of the header portion 7 via the cutting clutch 59 constituted by a belt tension clutch. The power transmitted to the countershaft 60 is transmitted to the auger 12 and the feeder F via the first transmission device T1, while the second transmission device including a hydrostatic continuously variable displacer (conveyance HST) 61. This is transmitted to the take-up reel R and the cutting blade 14 via T2. Furthermore, when the first transmission device T1 is provided with a forward / reverse switching mechanism G, and when the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state, the hydrostatic stepless displacer (conveyance) provided in the second transmission device T2 is provided. The auger 12 and the feeder F are rotated in reverse via the HST) 61.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the other end of the counter shaft 60 is connected to one end of an input shaft 63 supported by the transport gear case 62 via a joint J. Further, a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is attached to the transport gear case 62, and the pump shaft 61 a of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is connected to the other end of the input shaft 63 via a joint J. Connect. The motor shaft 61 b of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is connected to one end of a counter shaft 64 supported on the transport gear case 62 via a joint J.

  A drive gear 64 a is formed integrally with the counter shaft 64, and the drive gear 64 a meshes with a driven gear 65 a formed integrally with the second output shaft 65 supported by the transport gear case 62 to drive the second output shaft 65. . Further, a drive sprocket 66 is attached to the second output shaft 65, and a driven sprocket 68 attached to the reel / cutting blade drive shaft 67 on the inner peripheral side which is a double shaft with the drive shaft 15 of the feeder F is passed through the chain 69. To drive. Then, the scraping reel R and the cutting blade 14 are finally driven from the right side of the header portion 7 via the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 provided on the reel / cutting blade drive shaft 67.

  Therefore, although the order is reversed for convenience of explanation, the second transmission device T2 includes the input shaft 63 of the transport gear case 62, the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61, the counter shaft 64, the second shaft It is constituted by a transmission system that drives the take-up reel R and the cutting blade 14 via the output shaft 65, the reel / cutting blade drive shaft 67, the reel / cutting blade clutch 70, and the like. The power of the engine 50 is driven by the power continuously variable by a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 provided in the second transmission device T2.

  On the other hand, a pair of driven gears 72 and 73 are rotatably supported on the first output shaft 71 supported by the transport gear case 62 with a sleeve 74 interposed therebetween. Further, the idle gear 76 is rotatably supported on the idle shaft 75 that is cantilevered by the transport gear case 62. Then, one driven gear 72 is meshed with a drive gear 77 fixed to the input shaft 63 via an idle gear 76, and the other driven gear 73 is meshed with a drive gear 64a of the counter shaft 64, thereby always meshing type. A forward / reverse switching mechanism G is configured.

  Further, a drive sprocket 78 is attached to the first output shaft 71, and a driven sprocket 79 attached to the drive shaft 15 of the feeder F is driven via the chain 80. Further, the auger 12 is driven from the left side of the header portion 7 through a drive sprocket 81 attached to the drive shaft 15 of the feeder F. Accordingly, the first transmission device T1 passes through the input shaft 63 of the transport gear case 62, the idle gear 76, the driven gear 72 and its claw 72a, the sleeve 74, the first output shaft 71, the drive shaft 15 of the feeder F, and the like. Then, the feeder F and the auger 12 are configured by a transmission system that drives the feeder F and the auger 12, and the power of the engine 50 is directly transmitted in the forward rotation state without continuously variable transmission by the first transmission device T1. Driven.

  The first transmission device T1 includes the above-described forward / reverse switching mechanism G. When the sleeve 74 is moved by a shifter (not shown) and meshed with the claw 73a of the driven gear 73, the drive gear 64a of the counter shaft 64 is obtained. The power continuously variable by the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 is transmitted to the first output shaft 71 via the feeder, and the feeder F and the auger 12 transmit the power of the engine 50 to the second transmission T2. The hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveying HST) 61 provided is transmitted by the continuously variable power and is driven in the reverse rotation state.

  The hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 is for driving the take-up reel R and the cutting blade 14, and therefore it is not basically preferable to reversely rotate. There is a possibility that the planted cereals may be laid down or the take-up reel R may be damaged. Therefore, as shown in the hydraulic circuit diagram of FIG. 5, the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is connected to closed circuits a and b that connect the variable displacement hydraulic pump P and the constant displacement hydraulic motor M, respectively. Usually, a check valve cv for replenishing charge oil by the charge pump CP and a high-pressure relief valve rv are provided, but this is not provided in the closed circuit b on the reverse rotation side, but instead charge oil to be replenished by the charge pump CP is provided. Directly supplied to the closed circuit b via the bypass c.

  Therefore, when the swash plate of the hydraulic pump P is erroneously operated to the reverse rotation side, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump P is returned to the hydraulic pump P via the bypass c and the check valve cv, and the closed circuit a, b becomes substantially the same pressure, the hydraulic motor M stops, and the reverse rotation of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is restricted. Therefore, even if the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 can shift gears from the neutral state toward the forward rotation direction, the stationary state is maintained even if the swash plate is rotated in the reverse direction, and the substantially neutral state. The rotation transmitted to the take-up reel R and the cutting blade 14 or the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is always a forward rotation, and does not rotate in the reverse direction.

The travel shift lever 86 rotates the trunnion shaft (not shown) of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (travel HST) 51 by operating it forward or backward from the neutral position to perform a main shift operation for travel. It is.

  The front panel 85 is provided with a multi-steering lever 92, a monitor 93 for displaying the engine speed, fuel gauge, vehicle speed, load state, etc., a cutting height setting dial 94 and the like. A trigger switch 95 is integrally incorporated on the front side of the reel, and a reel up / down switch 92a and a reel front / rear switch 92b are integrally incorporated on the rear side of the grip.

Reel rotation automatic switch integrated with 101 02, etc. are provided.

  And the operation control of each part based on command means, such as each switch and dial provided in the control part 5, is performed by an electronic control unit (Electronic Control Unit) mainly composed of a microcomputer or the like. Among these, the block diagram shown in FIG. 7 shows the input / output relationship with respect to the electronic control unit ECU related to the control of the work implement clutch 57, the cutting clutch 59, and the take-up reel R, and the input side of the electronic control unit ECU In this case, the power clutch switch 100, the reverse rotation switch 103 that is turned on when the forward / reverse rotation switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state, and the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 are disconnected to stop the take-up reel R and the cutting blade 14. The reel clutch switch 104, the forced take-in switch 90, the reel rotation automatic switch 102, the power clutch potentiometer 105, the shift lever potentiometer 106 for detecting the operating position of the travel shift lever 86, and the mission rotation for detecting the travel speed. Sensor 107, motor shaft 61b of hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 Conveying rotation sensor 108 for detecting the rotational speed, as well as connecting the reel rotary dial (variable resistor) 101.

  Further, on the output side of the electronic control unit ECU, a cutting lamp 109 of the power clutch indicator 99, a working machine lamp 110, a cutting lamp 111, an electronic buzzer 112, a power clutch motor 113 for intermittently connecting the working machine clutch 57 and the cutting clutch 59, and The relay 114, the transport HST drive motor 115 for operating the trunnion shaft of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61, and the relay 116 thereof are connected.

  Next, the control contents performed by the electronic control unit ECU will be described. The electronic control unit ECU performs power clutch control for controlling the on / off of the work implement clutch 57 and the cutting clutch 59, and reel rotation for controlling the rotation speed of the take-up reel R. Control. First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, the power clutch control resets the cutting flag when it detects a rise that is turned on when the switch of the power clutch switch 100 is pressed in step 1 (step 2).

  Further, it is determined by the power clutch potentiometer 105 whether the cutting clutch 59 is engaged (connected) (step 3). If it is engaged, the power clutch motor 113 is operated to disconnect (disconnect) the cutting clutch 59. ) And control so that only the work implement clutch 57 is engaged (step 4). When the work implement clutch 57 is controlled to be turned on, the work implement lamp 110 is turned on. Further, if it is off, the power clutch motor 113 is operated, and the work implement clutch 57 is disengaged (disconnected) so that both the work implement clutch 57 and the cutting clutch 59 are disengaged (step 5). ). Note that when both the work implement clutch 57 and the mowing clutch 59 are controlled to be turned off, the turn-off lamp 111 is turned on.

  When the power switch 100 is not pressed in step 1, the rise when the on switch is pressed and turned on is detected (step 6). When this is detected, the work implement clutch 57 is engaged. Is determined by the power clutch potentiometer 105 (step 7), and if the work implement clutch 57 is engaged, it is detected by the reverse rotation switch 103 whether the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state (step 7). 8) If not in the reverse rotation state, a cutting flag is set (step 9).

  If the work implement clutch 57 is disengaged in step 7, the power clutch motor 113 is operated to control the work implement clutch 57 to enter (step 5). If the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 is in the reverse rotation state in Step 8, the reel clutch switch 104 determines the state of the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 (Step 10). Set (step 9).

  Further, in step 11, the state of the cutting flag is determined. If the flag is set, it is determined whether the traveling shift lever 86 is operated forward by the shift lever potentiometer 106 (step 12). If operated, the power clutch motor 113 is operated to control both the work implement clutch 57 and the mowing clutch 59 to be engaged (step 13). If it is not operated forward, it is determined whether or not the forced take-in switch 90 is pressed (step 14). Here, if the forced take-in switch 90 is pressed, both the work machine clutch 57 and the cutting clutch 59 are controlled to be engaged (step 13). However, if the forced take-in switch 90 is not pressed, only the work machine clutch 57 is held (step 15). If the cutting flag is set, the cutting lamp 109 is turned on.

  On the other hand, if the cutting flag is not set in step 11, it is determined whether the work implement clutch 57 is engaged (step 16). If the work implement clutch 57 is engaged, only the work implement clutch 57 is engaged. Hold so as to enter (step 17). If the work implement clutch 57 is disengaged, both the work implement clutch 57 and the mowing clutch 59 are held to be disengaged (step 18).

  Therefore, in the power clutch control, every time the power clutch switch 100 is pressed, the work implement clutch 57: engaged, the mowing clutch 59: engaged, or the mowing clutch 59: disengaged, and the work implement clutch 57: disengaged. When G is switched to the reverse rotation state, the cutting clutch 59 is not engaged unless the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 is disengaged. Even when the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is not switched to the reverse rotation state, the cutting clutch 59 is not engaged unless the machine is traveling forward. However, if the forced take-in switch 90 is pressed while the machine is stopped or moving backward, the cutting clutch 59 can be engaged only during that time.

  In short, when the power clutch switch 100 is pushed to the clutch engagement side and the working machine clutch 57 is engaged, the forced take-in switch 90 is pushed while the machine is moving forward, or the machine is stopped or moving backward. The mowing clutch 59 can be substantially engaged only during this period, and otherwise the mowing clutch 59 is not engaged.

  In the above flowchart, when the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state and the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 is disengaged, the cutting clutch 59 is engaged when the machine body is advanced, and the feeder F The auger 12 rotates in the reverse direction. However, when the clogging removal operation is performed by switching the forward / reverse switching mechanism G to the reverse rotation state, since the machine body is stopped, the above state actually occurs. do not do. However, in order to reliably prevent the above-described state, even if the airframe is moving forward, if the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is in the reverse rotation state, it is possible to prevent the cutting clutch 59 from being engaged.

  Next, the reel rotation control for controlling the rotation speed of the take-in reel R will be described. In the reel rotation control, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, the power clutch potentiometer determines whether or not the cutting clutch 59 is engaged (connected). If it is judged by 105 (step 1) and it is on, it is judged by the reverse rotation switch 103 whether the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state (step 2). If it is in the reverse rotation state, the target rotation speed of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is set to a predetermined low rotation speed (step 3).

  If not in the reverse rotation state, it is determined whether automatic (vehicle speed synchronization) is selected by the reel rotation automatic switch 102 (step 4). If automatic is selected, the target rotational speed is synchronized with the vehicle speed. The rotation number is set (step 5). If automatic is not selected, the target rotational speed is set to the rotational speed indicated by the reel rotation dial 101 (step 6). If the reaping clutch 59 is disengaged (disconnected) in step 1, the target rotational speed is set to neutral, that is, zero (step 7).

  When the target rotational speed is set, the target rotational speed and the current rotational speed of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 are acquired from the transport rotation sensor 108 and compared (step 8). Here, when the target rotational speed is higher, control is performed to increase the output rotational speed of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 by rotating the transport HST drive motor 115 to the speed-increasing side (step HST). 9). If it is equal to the target rotational speed, the transport HST drive motor 115 is stopped and the current output rotational speed of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 is maintained (step 10). Further, when the target rotational speed is lower than the target rotational speed, the conveyance HST drive motor 115 is rotated to the decelerating side, and control is performed to reduce the output rotational speed of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 (step 11).

  As for the rotational speed synchronized with the vehicle speed in the above step 5, as shown in the speed diagram of FIG. 10, for example, the rotational speed obtained from the mission rotational sensor 107 attached to any output shaft of the traveling transmission case 52. The vehicle speed is calculated based on the above. Further, according to the instruction of the reel rotation dial 101 that arbitrarily adjusts the increase / decrease of the rotation speed of the scraping reel R according to the type of crop or the situation of the crop, the rotation speed of the scraping reel R is increased as the vehicle speed increases. Based on the relationship, the number of revolutions of the take-in reel R is determined.

  When the vehicle speed is extremely low, the rotation speed of the pick-up reel R is stabilized by setting the rotation speed of the pick-up reel R to a constant speed. In addition, an upper limit is set for the rotation speed of the scraping reel R, and when the rotation speed exceeds the upper limit, the upper limit is set to prevent crop damage or damage to the scraping reel R itself. Further, the pick-up reel R is not rotated at the time of removing the clogging, but if the target rotational speed given to the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 at that time is converted into the rotational speed of the pick-up reel R, Low speed during rotation.

  When the harvesting operation is performed using the general-purpose combiner configured as described above, when the power clutch switch 100 is pressed, the work machine clutch 57 and the tight pulley of the harvesting clutch 59 can be connected by the power clutch motor 113 (power Clutch control), when the traveling speed change lever 86 is operated forward to start cutting, the work implement clutch 57 and the cutting clutch 59 are engaged, and the header section 7 and the threshing section 4 are driven to harvest the crop. be able to.

  At this time, since the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the forward rotation state and the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 is connected, the header reel 7 and the cutting blade 14 are connected to each other. Can be driven by a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 of the transmission device T2 with a wide gear ratio range, whereby the number of rotations of the take-up reel R is set to an appropriate reel according to the crop or the like. Based on the rotation control, the head loss in the header portion 7 can be suppressed by appropriately changing. Further, since the auger 12 and the feeder F are always driven by the first transmission device T1, for example, at the maximum rotation, there is no fear of clogging even during low-speed cutting.

  Then, when the aircraft is stopped upon reaching the droop, or when moving backward to perform the turning of the aircraft after finishing the first stroke, if the crop remains in the header portion 7, the header portion 7 may spill. is there. Therefore, in this case, when the forced scraping switch 90 is pressed to turn on the harvesting clutch 59, the header portion 7 is driven, and the crop can be transported to the threshing portion 4 without any remaining, thus preventing spillage. Can do. In this case, the driving speed of the scraping reel R and the cutting blade 14 is not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 or the like, but spillage can be reduced by making the driving speed relatively high.

  Further, if the header portion 7 is clogged, it is necessary to stop the machine quickly and remove the clogged crop. Therefore, the airframe is stopped and the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is switched to the reverse rotation state, and the reel / cutting blade clutch 70 is disconnected. Then, the power clutch switch 100 is pressed to enter a mode in which the work implement clutch 57 and the mowing clutch 59 are included. Further, when the forced take-in switch 90 is pressed, the cutting clutch 59 is engaged and the feeder F and the auger 12 are driven at a predetermined low speed.

  Therefore, when driving and stopping are repeated while observing the state by pressing the forced scratching switch 90, crops jammed in the feeder F or the auger 12 are discharged onto the platform 11 or outside the machine without promoting clogging. And clogging can be removed relatively easily. In this case, since the drive of the scraping reel R and the cutting blade 14 is cut off, it is possible to prevent the crop from which the scraping reel R has been discharged from being returned to the platform 11 or the cutting blade 14 from cutting it. It is possible to safely collect the discharged crop after that.

  It should be noted that the transfer gear case 62 and the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transfer HST) 61 of the first transmission device T1 and the second transmission device T2 described above are set up at the front of the body frame 3 that supports the header portion 7. Since it is attached to the front frame of the threshing unit 4 provided, these weights are not added to the header unit 7, and it is possible to prevent the header unit 7 from moving up and down and disadvantageous in terms of strength. In addition, since the auger 12 is driven from the left side of the header portion 7, the driving parts of the auger 12 can be provided on the same side as the left side of the machine body that supports the header portion, and any torsional deformation of the header portion 7 can be achieved. Can be improved.

  Furthermore, in order to rotate the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (conveyance HST) 61 in the same rotational direction as when driving the take-in reel R and the cutting blade 14 when the feeder F and the auger 12 are driven in reverse rotation, The stop state of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 can be easily obtained by the hydraulic circuit, and the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 can be reliably stopped. Accordingly, the speed change region on the low speed side of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (transport HST) 61 can be expanded and stable operation control can be performed.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the rotational speed of the take-up reel R may be increased linearly in synchronization with the vehicle speed shown in FIG. As described above, when the speed of the scraping reel R is slow or high with respect to the vehicle speed and the loss increases, the speed of the scraping reel R may be intentionally increased at a low speed. In addition, when there is much occurrence of crushed particles or the like due to soybean cutting, the engine speed is lowered by operating the engine control lever 88 to reduce the peripheral speed of the handling drum. Further, although the forward / reverse switching mechanism G is always meshed, a sliding gear that is selectively meshed with either the drive gear 77 fixed to the input shaft 63 and the drive gear 64a of the counter shaft 64 is provided, and the selective sliding type. The forward / reverse switching mechanism G may be used, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the configuration of each part can be variously modified.
