  In the case of the prior art, by forming the wall of the grain tank connected to the supply port of the cerealing device in an inclined shape, the capacity provided in the grain tank is reduced due to the inclined shape of the wall.

  The object of the present invention is not only to switch the grain tank between the descending storage attitude and the ascending discharge attitude without requiring an operation on the connection between the grain tank and the cerealing device, but also restricting the capacity of the grain tank. It is to provide a combine that does not need to be received.

The combine of the present invention is
A grain tank for storing the grain from the threshing device is provided so as to be swingable up and down around the lifting shaft core over the descending storage posture and the rising discharge posture,
An inlet is provided on the wall surface perpendicular to the lifting axis of the grain tank,
A connection part for detachably connecting the supply port of the cerealing device for supplying the grain from the threshing device to the grain tank, and the input port;
The said connection part is comprised by the tank side wall member provided in the said grain tank side, and the cereal side wall member provided in the said cerealing apparatus side, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to this configuration, when the grain tank inlet is located on the wall surface of the grain tank perpendicular to the lifting axis, and when the grain tank is in the lowered storage posture, The tank side wall member moves together with the grain tank when the grain tank swings, and the tank side wall member and the side wall member Are separated from each other to separate the input port of the grain tank and the supply port of the cerealing device.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to perform the operation of releasing or returning the connection between the input port of the kernel tank and the supply port of the cerealing device to swing the kernel tank. It is possible to avoid the tank capacity from decreasing as in the case where the wall surface where the grain tank inlet is located is made into a wall surface perpendicular to the lifting axis, and the wall surface is inclined, It is possible to store as many grains as possible and reduce the number of work interruptions for taking out the grains.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member are configured not to interfere with each other when the grain tank swings.

  When the grain tank swings, the tank side wall member and the side wall member are made flexible so that the tank side wall member and the side wall member are deformed by contact with the other, and the grain tank swings. It is conceivable to eliminate the need for an operation on the connection portion when performing the operation. According to this configuration, since the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member do not interfere with each other, the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member are not provided with flexibility, and the connection portion when the grain tank swings is provided. Operation can be made unnecessary.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member are constituted by strong members so that the connection portion has excellent shape retention strength and durability, and the connection portion is damaged due to the collision of the grains. It can be difficult.

  When the grain tank is in a descending storage posture and the tank side wall member is in contact with and joined to the whipped side wall member, if the contact force is strong, the joint surface of both members is between the tank side wall member and the whipped side wall member. Misalignment movement in the direction along may occur. This shift movement is less likely to occur as the inclination angle of the joint surface between the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member with respect to the movement path of the tank side wall member becomes steeper. According to this configuration, the portion located on the side of the swinging direction discharge posture with respect to the straight line connecting the two vertices other than the vertex closest to the lifting axis and the farthest vertex is set to the tank side wall member and connected. Compared to setting the portion located on the rocking direction storage posture side of the straight line connecting the two vertices other than the nearest vertex and the farthest vertex in the portion, the tank sidewall member and the pulverized sidewall Even if the inclination angle of the joint surface with the member with respect to the movement path of the tank side wall member is steep, even if the tank side wall member abuts strongly against the cereal side wall member, both the members are joined between the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member. It is difficult for the displacement movement in the direction along the surface to occur.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the tank side wall member strongly contacts the cereal side wall member, poor connection between the tank side wall member and the cereal side wall member hardly occurs, and the connection between the input port and the supply port is good. It can be maintained in a state.
