Description

The present invention is equipped with a spiral blade at the front end of the handling cylinder, which scrapes and conveys the harvested culm supplied and conveyed toward the front end toward the rear as the handling cylinder rotates. Regarding the threshing structure of the culm-type combine.

As a threshing structure for a full-culm combine harvester, two scraping screws (spiral blades) for scraping the object to be processed are attached to the front narrowing peripheral surface formed on the front end side of the handling barrel body. Two screws connected to the rear end of each scraping screw are attached to the cylindrical peripheral surface of the screw, and each screw has a large number of handle teeth and a plurality of partial spirals having a length larger than each handle in the circumferential direction of the handle. There is a type in which the shape feed vanes are bolted and detachably connected so that they are alternately positioned and protrude outward from the screw. As a result, the object to be processed is threshed by the action of the teeth to be processed with the drive rotation of the main body of the handling cylinder, and the object to be processed is conveyed backward by the action of a screw or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-107844 (paragraph numbers 0013 to 0014, FIGS. 1 to 2)

In the combine harvester of the whole culm input type, since the entire harvested grain harvester is supplied and transported toward the front end of the handling cylinder as an object to be processed, only the tip side of the harvested culm is treated as an object to be processed at the front end of the cylinder. The amount of processing is larger than that of a self-removing combine that is supplied and transported toward. Further, when the entire harvested culm is supplied and transported as an object to be processed toward the front end of the handling cylinder, it is compared with the case where only the tip side of the harvested culm is supplied and transported toward the front end of the handling cylinder. Therefore, there is a high possibility that foreign matter such as mud is supplied and transported toward the front end of the handling cylinder as an object to be processed together with the cut grain culm.

Therefore, in the all-culm harvester type combine, there is an inconvenience that the part acting on the object to be processed as the handling cylinder rotates is worn by the contact with the object to be processed, as compared with the self-removing type combine. It is easy to occur.

In particular, the spiral blades (scraping screws) installed at the front end of the handling cylinder supply and transport all the objects to be processed to the front end of the handling cylinder as the machine travels, as the handling cylinder rotates. Therefore, it is scraped and transported toward the rear threshing treatment area, and since it comes into violent contact with a large amount of objects to be treated during harvesting work, it may be significantly worn during long-term use.

Then, when such wear occurs, it is formed between the spiral blade and the transport assist guide provided below the spiral blade to assist the scraping and transport of the cut grain culm by the spiral blade. The gap becomes large, and it becomes difficult for the spiral blades to scrape and transport the cut grain culm received by the transport auxiliary guide.

In other words, in a combine harvester with all culms, if the spiral blades are significantly worn due to long-term use, the scraping and transporting action of the spiral blades on the harvested culms will decrease, and as a result, the threshing processing capacity will decrease. Will be invited.

As a method of avoiding such a decrease in threshing processing capacity, it is conceivable to replace a spiral blade or the like worn by long-term use. However, as described above, the threshing structure of the all-cylinder combine harvester based on the prior art is used. , A large number of handling teeth and a plurality of partial spiral feed vanes are detachably attached to each screw attached to the cylindrical peripheral surface of the handling body, and the front narrowing circumference formed on the front end side of the handling body is formed. Since the spiral blades are not detachably attached to the surface, if the spiral blades are significantly worn due to long-term use, it will be necessary to take large-scale measures such as replacing the entire handling body together with the spiral blades. It will be.

In other words, in a combine harvester based on the conventional technology, it takes considerable labor and cost to take appropriate measures against wear of spiral blades, etc., and therefore threshing processing capacity due to wear of spiral blades, etc. It was difficult to avoid the decline.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily and inexpensively perform an appropriate treatment for wear of a spiral blade or the like, and to easily avoid a decrease in threshing processing capacity due to wear of the spiral blade or the like.

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention, the harvested grain culm supplied and transported toward the front end portion of the handling cylinder is used to rotate the handling cylinder. In the threshing structure of the all-culm-filled combine, which is equipped with a spiral blade that scrapes and transports it backwards.
It is characterized in that the spiral blade is detachably attached.

According to this characteristic configuration, when the spiral blade is significantly worn due to vigorous contact with a cut grain culm for a long period of time, only the worn spiral blade can be replaced. As a result, the labor and cost required for replacing the spiral blades can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where the spiral blades are attached to the front end of the handling cylinder by welding or the like so as not to be removable, and as a result, the worn spiral blades can be significantly reduced. It becomes easier to replace the blades. Then, since it becomes easier to replace the worn spiral blades, the scraping and transporting action of the spiral blades on the harvested culm, which may be caused when the spiral blades are left unattended, is reduced, and threshing is caused by the reduction. Inconveniences such as a decrease in processing capacity can be easily avoided.

Therefore, by making a simple improvement such as attaching the spiral blade to the front end of the handling cylinder so as to be detachable, it becomes possible to easily and inexpensively take appropriate measures against the wear of the spiral blade, and as a result, the wear of the spiral blade. It is possible to easily avoid a decrease in the threshing processing capacity due to the above.

In the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, in the invention according to claim 1 above.
By arranging below the handling cylinder so as to cover the front end portion of the handling cylinder from below, the cut grain culm supplied and conveyed toward the front end portion of the handling cylinder is received and cut by the spiral blade. A transport assistance guide is provided to assist the scraping transport of grain culms.
The transport assisting guide is characterized in that at least a portion of the handling cylinder located on the lower side in the rotation direction is detachable.

According to this characteristic configuration, when the transport auxiliary guide is significantly worn due to vigorous contact with the cut grain culm for a long period of time, only the worn transport auxiliary guide can be replaced. As a result, for example, the labor and cost required for replacing the worn transport auxiliary guide can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where the transport auxiliary guide is non-detachably attached to the support frame or the like by welding or the like. , It becomes easy to replace the worn transport auxiliary guide. Then, since it becomes easier to replace the worn transport auxiliary guide, the gap formed between the spiral blade and the transport auxiliary guide, which may be caused when the wear of the transport auxiliary guide is left unattended, becomes large. As a result, it is possible to easily avoid inconveniences such as a decrease in the scraping and transporting action of the spiral blades on the harvested grain culm, and a decrease in the threshing processing capacity due to the decrease.

By the way, with the rotation of the handling cylinder, the harvested culm and the like that are scraped and transported backward by the spiral blades are affected by the rotation of the handling cylinder, and the lower part of the handling cylinder in the rotation direction in the transport auxiliary guide. Will be gathered together. Therefore, in the transport assist guide, the portion located on the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder comes into more intense contact with the cut grain culm and the like, and wear due to the contact is more likely to occur.

Therefore, in consideration of this point, if the lower part of the handling cylinder in the transport assist guide in the rotation direction is detachably configured, the handle in the transport assist guide may be inferior in the rotation direction due to violent contact with the harvested culm for a long period of time. If the side portion is significantly worn, only the worn portion can be replaced. As a result, the cost required for the replacement can be further reduced as compared with the case where the entire transport assist guide is replaced.

Therefore, by making simple improvements such as configuring the transport assist guide so that at least the portion located on the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder is removable, it is easy to take appropriate measures against the wear of the transport assist guide. Moreover, it can be carried out at low cost, and as a result, it is possible to easily avoid a decrease in the threshing processing capacity due to wear of the transport auxiliary guide.

In the invention according to claim 3 of the present invention, in the invention according to claim 1 or 2 above.
Below the handling cylinder, a receiving net that receives the harvested culm that is threshed as the handling cylinder rotates and leaks the processed product obtained by the threshing treatment is covered from below the handling cylinder. Deploy and
Above the handling cylinder, the handling cylinder is provided with a cutting grain culm conveyed toward the upper part of the handling cylinder as the handling cylinder rotates and a top plate for guiding the processed material toward the receiving net. Deploy to cover from above,
It is characterized in that a seam member formed so as to have a guide surface for connecting the inner surfaces thereof in a series is detachably provided between the receiving net and the top plate.

According to this characteristic configuration, when the guide surface of the seam member is significantly worn due to vigorous contact with the cut grain culm for a long period of time, only the worn seam member can be replaced. As a result, the labor and cost required to replace the worn seam member can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where the seam member is non-detachably attached to the net or the top plate by welding or the like, resulting in wear. It becomes easy to replace the welded seam member. Then, by facilitating the replacement of the worn seam member, the inner surface of the receiving net and the inner surface of the top plate, which may be caused when the worn seam member is left unattended, are connected in a series by the guide surface of the seam member. It is possible to easily avoid the inconvenience that the threshing processing capacity is lowered due to the fact that the harvested culm and the like do not flow smoothly between the receiving net of the handling cylinder and the top plate.

Therefore, by making simple improvements such as detachably equipping the seam member between the receiving net and the top plate, it becomes possible to easily and inexpensively take appropriate measures against the wear of the seam member, and as a result, the seam member. It is possible to easily avoid a decrease in threshing processing capacity due to wear of the grain.

Above the handling cylinder 16, a top plate 24 that covers the upper side of the handling cylinder 16 from above is provided so as to be openable and closable.

The handling chamber 14 is partitioned by a receiving net 17 covering the handling cylinder 16, a top plate 24, and the like. A supply port 25 is formed in a portion below the front end of the handling chamber 14 to supply the entire cut grain culm conveyed by the feeder 13 as a processed product.

A support shaft 15 of the handling cylinder 16 is rotatably erected over the front wall 26 and the rear wall 27 of the threshing device 5. Then, the handling cylinder 16 is rotationally driven clockwise with the support shaft 15 as a fulcrum by the power transmitted from the engine 2 via the wall insert 20 and the like, and is supplied to the handling chamber 14 by this rotational drive. A threshing process is performed on the harvested grain sack, and the harvested grain stub is transported toward the rear of the machine body, which is on the lower side in the threshing process direction, while promoting the single graining of the grain.

The receiving net 17 is a concave receiving net formed in a grid pattern, receives the cut grain culms supplied to the handling chamber 14, and assists the threshing process of the handling cylinder 16 with respect to the cut grain culms. Specifically, the receiving net 17 receives the harvested culm that is threshed by the rotational operation of the handling cylinder 16, and the single-grained grain, the grain with branch stem, or the grain obtained by the threshing process, or The processed material such as culms generated in the threshing process is leaked toward the lower swing sorting mechanism 19, while the leakage of the threshed culms and the like to the rocking sorting mechanism 19 is prevented.

The swing sorting mechanism 19 includes a plan-view frame-shaped sheave case 29 that is swing-driven in the front-rear direction by a cam-type drive mechanism 28. On the upper part of the sheave case 29, a grain pan 30, a chaff sheave 31, and a straw rack 32 for rough sorting are arranged in this order from the front side of the sheave case 29. At the lower part of the sheave case 29, a grain pan 33 and a grain sheave 34 for fine sorting are arranged in this order from the front side of the sheave case 29. In the upper part of the rocking sorting mechanism 19, the sorting processed product leaked from the receiving net 17 in a state where single grain grains and culms are mixed is received by the upper grain pan 30, the chaff sieve 31 or the straw rack 32. , Perform a rough sorting process by sieving. In the lower part of the rocking sorting mechanism 19, the sorted product leaked from the chaff sheave 31 in a state where single-grained grains and grains with branch stems are mixed is received by the lower Glenpan 33 and Glenshive 34 and sieved. Performs a precise sorting process by sorting. As a result, the sorted product is composed of a single grain as the first product, a mixture of grains with branch stems and culm as the second product, and dust such as culm as the third product. Sort to.

The wall insert 20 is powered by the engine 2 transmitted via the belt-type transmission mechanism 35, and is rotationally driven around the support shaft 20A as a fulcrum to generate a sorting wind. The sorting wind is supplied through the three air passages R1 to R3 to the sorting processed product leaking from the receiving net 17, the sorting processed product sorted by the swing sorting mechanism 19, and the like. The culm waste having a small specific gravity is blown from the processed material and transported toward the discharge port 23 on the lower side in the threshing processing direction.

The No. 1 collection unit 21 collects the single-grained grains leaked from the Glen Seeb 34 of the swing sorting mechanism 19 as the No. 1 product in a state where dust such as straw dust is removed by the sorting wind from the wall insert 20. .. At the bottom of the No. 1 recovery unit 21, the No. 1 screw 36 driven by the power from the engine 2 transmitted via the wall insert 20 and the like is arranged in the left-right direction. The No. 1 screw 36 conveys the No. 1 item collected by the No. 1 collection unit 21 toward the lifting screw 37 (see FIG. 2) serially provided at the right end thereof.

The second collecting unit 22 is a mixture of grains with stalks and culms that flowed down from the rear end of the Glen Sheave 34 without leaking from the Glen Sheave 34 of the rocking sorting mechanism 19, and the rocking sorting mechanism 19. A mixture of grains with branch stems and culm waste leaked from the straw rack 32 is collected as the second product. At the bottom of the second recovery unit 22, a second screw 38 driven by power from the engine 2 transmitted via a wall insert 20 or the like is arranged in the left-right direction. The No. 2 screw 38 conveys the No. 2 product collected by the No. 2 collection unit 22 toward the No. 2 reduction mechanism 39 (see FIG. 2) serially provided at the right end thereof.

The lifting screw 37 lifts the first item conveyed by the first screw 36 and supplies it to the grain tank 40 provided in the upper part of the bagging device 6 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The No. 2 reduction mechanism 39 is provided with a reprocessing unit (not shown) for reprocessing the No. 2 product conveyed by the No. 2 screw 38, and the No. 2 product after the threshing treatment by the reprocessing unit is provided. It is lifted and reduced to the swing sorting mechanism 19 (see FIG. 2).

The discharge port 23 collects culm culms that flow down from the outlet 18 without leaking from the receiving net 17, and culms that are sorted and transported behind the swing sorting mechanism 19 by a sieving sorting process or a wind sorting process. Release to the outside of the aircraft.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, the handling cylinder 16 includes a truncated cone-shaped scraping portion 41 forming a front end portion thereof and a handling processing portion 42 connected to the rear end of the scraping portion 41. Has been done. On the outer peripheral surface of the scraping portion 41, two culms supplied and transported to the supply port 25 by the feeder 13 are scraped and transported toward the rear handling portion 42 as the handling cylinder 16 rotates. The spiral blade 43 is equipped.

The handling unit 42 includes a first plate 44 integrally mounted on the front portion of the support shaft 15, a second plate 45 integrally equipped on the front-rear intermediate portion of the support shaft 15, and a third plate integrally equipped on the rear end portion of the support shaft 15. Six handles made of round pipe steel or the like supported by the plates 46 and the plates 44 to 46 so as to be arranged in a front-rear posture along the support shaft 15 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the handling cylinder 16. A plurality of handling teeth 48 equipped on the body frame 47 and each handling body frame 47 so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction at predetermined intervals in a posture of projecting from the handling body frame 47 toward the outside of the handling body 16. , Etc.

That is, on the handling cylinder 16, a plurality of handling teeth 48 projecting outward are arranged and arranged so as to be arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction and the front-rear direction of the handling processing unit 42. Further, the handling cylinder 16 is formed so that the internal space S of the handling processing unit 42 communicates with the handling chamber 14 and allows the processed material to enter the internal space S. As a result, at the time of the rotational operation of the handling cylinder 16, while stirring the processing material around the processing material and the processed material that has entered the internal space S, the handling body frame 47 and the handling tooth 48 are hit against the processed material. Threshing is performed by carding.

Moreover, since the internal space S of the handling processing unit 42 communicates with the handling chamber 14, even when a large amount of threshed culms are supplied to the handling chamber 14 as a processed material, the internal space S of the handling processing unit 42 Can be effectively used as a processing space for threshing processing. As a result, it is possible to avoid the retention of the processed material in the processing space and the saturation of the processing space. As a result, the processed product leaks from the concave 3 without sufficient threshing treatment due to the retention of the processed product and the saturation of the processing space, or the load required for the threshing treatment increases and the handling cylinder 16 is subjected to. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of inconveniences such as damage to the transmission system.

When the handling cylinder 16 is rotated, not only the plurality of handling teeth 48 but also the six handling cylinder frames 47 forming the handling processing portion 42 of the handling cylinder 16 are used as handling processing members acting on the processed object. Since it functions, it is possible to improve threshing performance and threshing efficiency.

Further, in the front-rear intermediate portion of the handling cylinder 16, where the amount of processed material is reduced due to the threshing treatment on the front side of the handling cylinder 16 causing many grains to become single grains and leaking from the receiving net 17, the handling cylinder 16 The second plate 45 that separates the internal space S from the front and the back prevents the processed material from flowing to the lower side in the threshing processing direction in the internal space S of the handling cylinder 16, and handles the processed material as the handling cylinder 16 rotates. It will be guided to the surroundings to promote threshing by hitting the treated tooth 48 or the like or combing, and leakage of single grain grains from the receiving net 17. As a result, the single-grained grains and ungrained culms contained in the processed product pass through the internal space S of the handling cylinder 16 and are formed at the lower end in the threshing treatment direction together with the deciduous culms. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of the third loss due to the discharge from 18.

Further, when the handling cylinder 16 is rotated, the cut grain culm that is scraped and conveyed by the action of the scraping portion 41 and the outside air sucked from the supply port 25 with the rotation of the spiral blade 43 are generated around the handling cylinder 16. It will flow smoothly into the internal space S of the culm processing unit 42. As a result, it is possible to prevent the culm waste generated by the threshing process from flowing out from the supply port 25 to the feeder 13, and it is possible to more quickly transport the processed material to the lower side in the threshing process direction.

Further, the outside air sucked from the supply port 25 passes through the inside of the feeder 13 connected to the supply port 25, and the feeder 13 is a cutting and transporting device equipped with a cutting mechanism 11, an auger 12, and the like. Since the carry-out port (not shown) for carrying out the recovered culm formed in the cutting and collecting section of No. 4 communicates with the supply port 25, suction is performed by the rotation of the spiral blade 43 when the handling cylinder 16 is rotated. Due to the action, dust such as culm dust generated in the cutting process and the collecting process in the cutting and collecting section is also collected from the carry-out port of the cutting and collecting section through the internal space of the feeder 13 and the supply port 25, together with the outside air. It will flow into the surroundings and the internal space S of the culm processing unit 42. As a result, it is possible to suppress the adhesion and accumulation of culms and the like in the cutting and collecting section, and the poor transportation of the culm due to the adhesion and accumulation, and the deterioration of the working environment and visibility due to the soaring. Can be suppressed.

Each of the plates 44 to 46 has a circular shape centered on the support shaft 15, and the handling cylinder frame 47 is bolted to the outer peripheral side of the plates 44 to 46 at equidistant positions from the support shaft 15. That is, six handling cylinder frames 47 are arranged on the outer peripheral side of each plate 44 to 46 so as to be arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction so that the cylinder diameter of the handling cylinder 16 becomes large. As a result, it is possible to prevent the harvested culm from wrapping around the handling cylinder 16.

Each handling cylinder frame 47 can be changed in a normal posture in which the front-rear direction thereof coincides with the front-rear direction of the handling cylinder 16 and an inverted posture in which the front-rear direction thereof is opposite to the front-rear direction of the handling cylinder 16. It is bolted to each of the plates 44 to 46 so that the front and rear directions of the adjacent handling cylinder frames 47 are reversed.

A plurality of mounting holes 47A and 47B that enable mounting of the handling teeth 48 are arranged in each handling body frame 47 at a constant pitch P in the front-rear direction, and the handling body frame 47 is mounted from the front end to the front end. The distance L1 to the center of the hole 47A and the distance L2 from the rear end of the barrel frame 47 to the center of the last mounting hole 47A are different by half a pitch (= 1 / 2P). ..

Each of the handling cylinder frames 47 is connected and supported by the plates 44 to 46 in a state in which the front-rear orientations of the adjacent ones are reversed. As a result, while adopting the same configuration as the six handling cylinder frames 47, the handling teeth 48 mounted on each of the handling cylinder frames 47 are moved in the front-rear direction with the handling teeth 48 of the adjacent handling cylinder frames 47. It can be positioned in a state where it is displaced by half a pitch. As a result, the striking interval of the handling teeth 48 with respect to the processed object can be reduced without reducing the spacing between the adjacent handling teeth 48.

That is, the entanglement of the grain culms in the processed material with respect to the handling teeth 48, which is more likely to be invited as the distance between the adjacent handling teeth 48 is reduced while reducing the cost by making each handling body frame 47 have the same configuration. It is possible to improve the threshing performance by increasing the number of times the tooth handling teeth 48 hit the processed material while effectively preventing clogging of the processed material due to the above.

Further, since each handling body frame 47 is equipped so that the orientation can be changed between the normal posture and the inverted posture, the handling teeth 48 located on the upper side in the threshing processing direction, which are relatively easily worn due to the large amount of processed material, are worn. By changing the orientation of each handling cylinder frame 47, the plurality of handling teeth 48 provided in each handling cylinder frame 47 are relatively good in the direction of threshing treatment, which is relatively easy to wear. The position can be changed at once so that the tooth handling 48 on the side and the tooth handling 48 on the lower side in the threshing treatment direction, which are hard to wear, are exchanged. As a result, the tooth handling 48 on the lower side in the threshing treatment direction with less wear can be effectively used as the tooth handling 48 on the upper side in the threshing treatment direction with a large amount of processed material.

Of the plurality of mounting holes 47A and 47B, four (two front and rear) mounting holes 47A located at both front and rear ends of each handling body frame 47 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the mounting holes 47B located in the middle portion. ing.

Of the respective handling teeth 48, the handling tooth 48A to be mounted using the small diameter mounting hole 47A is composed of a stepped round bar steel material having a small diameter portion 48a inserted into the mounting hole 47A, and the center thereof is It is detachably nut-fastened to the handle frame 47 so as to be located on a line passing through the center of the support shaft 15 and the center of the handle frame 47.

The handle 48B to be mounted using the mounting hole 47B in the intermediate portion is made of a stepless round bar steel material, and its center is located on a line passing through the center of the support shaft 15 and the center of the handle frame 47. As described above, it is non-detachably welded to the handling body frame 47.

That is, since each of the handling teeth 48A located at both front and rear ends of the handling processing unit 42 is removable, when those handling teeth 48A are significantly worn by long-term use including changing the orientation of the handling body frame 47. Can be easily replaced with a new tooth 48A.

Further, on the lower side of the threshing processing direction in which the amount of culm culms is large, as shown in FIG. 10, if the handling teeth 48A located at the rear end of the handling cylinder 16 are thinned out, the rear end of the handling cylinder 16 is provided. The interval between the handling teeth 48A in the portion becomes large, and the retention of the threshing culm due to the catching on the handling tooth 48A at the rear end portion of the handling cylinder can be effectively suppressed. As a result, the release of the threshed culm from the outlet 18 can be promoted.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, 11 and 12, the top plate 24 has a curved portion 24A that curves substantially along the rotation locus K of the tip of the tooth handle, and semicircles located at both front and rear ends of the curved portion 24A. The vertical wall portion 24B and the linear side edge portions 24C located on the left and right sides of the curved portion 24A are integrally equipped. The top plate 24 has a closed position that covers the upper side of the handling cylinder 16 from above and an open position that opens the upper side of the handling cylinder 16 with a plurality of hinges 24D provided on the left side edge portion 24C as fulcrums. It is configured so that it can be opened and closed and swung over. The right side edge portion 24C is provided with a plurality of bolts 24E for fixing the top plate 24 in the closed state.

The curved portion 24A is formed to be curved so as to smoothly guide the processed material conveyed toward the upper part of the handling cylinder 16 toward the lower receiving net 17 by the inner surface thereof due to the rotational operation of the handling cylinder 16. There is. On the inner surface of the curved portion 24A, a plurality of dust feeding valves 49 are front and rear, which guide the processed material conveyed to the upper part of the handling chamber 14 toward the lower side in the threshing processing direction as the handling cylinder 16 rotates. It is detachably fixed and equipped in a state where it is lined up in the direction with a predetermined interval. Of the plurality of dust transmission valves 49, the frontmost dust transmission valve 49A is formed in an arc shape extending from the front vertical wall portion 24B to the left side edge portion 24C, and the other dust transmission valves 49B are left and right side edge portions. It is formed in an arc shape over 24C.

That is, since the top plate 24 is provided with the curved portion 24A, the processed material that is scraped up and conveyed to the upper part of the handling chamber 14 by the plurality of handling teeth 48 or the like as the handling cylinder 16 rotates is transferred to the inner surface of the curved portion 24A. It can be smoothly guided toward the receiving net 17 on the lower side in the threshing processing direction while following the dust feeding valve 49. Further, since each dust feeding valve 49 is formed in a long arc shape extending over the left side edge portion 24C or the left and right side edge portions 24C, it is conveyed to the upper part of the handling chamber 14 as the handling cylinder 16 rotates. The guiding action of each dust sending valve 49A on the processed material can be effectively improved. As a result, each of the teeth 48 is formed not in a shape having a transporting action on the processed material but in a shape dedicated to threshing that can suitably hit or comb the processed material, but the processed material is placed on the lower side in the threshing processing direction. It is possible to satisfactorily guide the transport toward the processed product, and as a result, it is possible to improve the threshing performance and the transport performance for the processed product.

A joint member 50 made of a steel plate bent and formed so as to have a guide surface 50a for connecting the inner surface of the curved portion 24A and the inner surface of the receiving net 17 in a series is detachably bolted to the left and right side edge portions 24C. There is. In this way, the seam member 50 is detachably configured so that the joint between the receiving net 17 and the top plate 24 makes the contact with the processed material intense, so that the seam member 50 comes into contact with the processed material. Only the seam member 50 can be easily replaced if it is significantly worn. That is, for example, unlike the case where the seam member 50 is welded to the top plate 24 in a detachable manner, the entire top plate 24 is replaced together with the worn seam member 50 without causing trouble and economic disadvantage. It is possible to appropriately take measures against the wear of the seam member 50.

Incidentally, a small clearance is set between the tip of each handling tooth 48 and the lower edge of each dust feeding valve 49 in order to improve the guidance of the processed object by the dust feeding valve 49. Further, between the tip of each tooth handling 48 and the inner surface of the receiving net 17, the tip of each handling tooth 48 and each dust feeding valve are used to promote leakage of single grain grains from the receiving net 17. A clearance larger than the clearance set with the lower edge of 49 is set.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6 to 8 and 10, in the handling cylinder 16, two support plates 41A are spirally welded to the outer peripheral surface of the scraping portion 41. Then, on the back surface of each of the support plates 41A, the corresponding spiral blades 43 are detachably bolted to each other in a state in which the outer edge side thereof is projected outward from the outer edge of the corresponding support plate 41A. There is.

That is, in the handling cylinder 16, the harvested grain culm supplied and conveyed to the supply port 25 by the feeder 13 is scraped and conveyed rearward along with the rotation, so that the harvested grain culm is violently contacted with the harvested grain culm. Two spiral blades 43, which are prone to wear due to contact, are detachably attached to the scraping portion 41 of the handling cylinder 16, so that when each spiral blade 43 is significantly worn due to long-term use. Only the spiral blade 43 can be easily replaced. As a result, for example, when the spiral blade 43 is welded to the suction portion 41 in a detachable manner, the spiral blade 43 is replaced with the worn spiral blade 43 without causing trouble and economic disadvantage. It is possible to appropriately take measures against the wear of the blade 43.

Each support plate 41A is reinforced by a plurality of reinforcing ribs 41B welded so as to extend over the front surface thereof and the outer peripheral surface of the scraping portion 41.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, 13, and 14, in the threshing apparatus 5, the cutting that is supplied and conveyed to the supply port 25 by the feeder 13 between the front wall 26 and the receiving net 17 is cut. A transport assist guide 51 that receives the grain culm and assists in scraping and transporting the harvested grain culm by the two spiral blades 43 is provided. The transport assist guide 51 is composed of a pair of left and right guide members 51A and 51B that are bolted in a substantially U-shape in front view to cover the lower side of the scraping portion 41 from below. The left and right guide members 51A and 51B are detachably bolted to the front wall 26 of the threshing device 5 and a pair of left and right support frames 52 arranged in the front-rear direction on the upper part of the threshing device 5. A second plate 51b made of stainless steel, which forms a guide surface extending from the front wall 26 of the threshing device 5 to the receiving net 17, is welded to 51a.

That is, in this grain removing device 5, by assisting the scraping and transporting of the harvested culms by the two spiral blades 43, the culms are violently contacted with the harvested culms, and the transport assisting guide is likely to cause wear due to the contact. The 51 can be detachably equipped, and can be divided into left and right guide members 51A located on the upper side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder 16 and right guide members 51B located on the lower side in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder 16. The structure is divided into two parts, left and right, so that only the transport auxiliary guide 51 can be easily replaced when the entire transport auxiliary guide 51 is significantly worn due to long-term use. Further, when either the left or right guide member 51A or 51B of the transport assist guide 51 is significantly worn due to long-term use, only the significantly worn guide member 51A or 51B can be easily replaced. As a result, for example, when the transport auxiliary guide 51 is welded to the receiving net 17 or the left and right support frames 52 in a detachable manner, the receiving net 17 or the left and right support frames 52 are replaced together with the transport assist guide 51, or Even if one of the left and right sides of the transport assist guide 51 is significantly worn, as in the case where the transport assist guide 51 is configured to be indivisible, there is a labor and economic disadvantage such as replacing the entire transport assist guide 51. It is possible to appropriately take measures against the wear of the transport assist guide 51 without inviting it.

Moreover, since the transport assist guide 51 is made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and has high strength, the frequency of replacement due to wear can be reduced.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 6 and 15, the receiving net 17 is composed of four receiving net members 53 formed in the same shape, and is detachably bolted to the left and right support frames 52. There is. Each net receiving member 53 is provided with a base frame 53A framed in a rectangular shape. Within the frame of the base frame 53A, a plurality of vertical bars 53B made of strip-shaped steel plates are arranged and arranged in the front-rear direction at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the handling cylinder 16. Further, a plurality of first cross rails 53C made of strip-shaped steel plates curved in an arc shape are arranged and arranged in the left-right direction with a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction which is the support axis direction of the handling cylinder 16. Further, a plurality of second cross rails 53D made of piano wire rods curved in an arc shape are arranged and arranged horizontally between adjacent first cross rails 53C at regular intervals in the front-rear direction. .. Then, each crosspiece has a mesh formed in the frame of the base frame 53A so as to have a horizontally long rectangular shape in which the length in the circumferential direction of the handling cylinder 16 is longer than the length in the direction along the front-rear direction. The arrangement intervals of 53B to 53D are set.

That is, it is considered that during the threshing process in which the handling cylinder 16 is rotationally driven, the single-grained grains obtained by the threshing processing on the harvested culm flow in the rotation direction as the handling cylinder 16 rotates. Then, the receiving net 17 is configured so that the mesh has a horizontally long rectangular shape that is long in the rotation direction of the handling cylinder 16. As a result, as compared with the case where the mesh of the receiving net 17 is configured to have a vertically long rectangular shape that is long in the threshing processing direction (front-back direction) of the handling cylinder 16, the single-grained grains and the like are formed in the receiving net 17. It becomes easy to leak from the front side of. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the generation of de-pulled grains due to the suppression of leakage of single-grained grains from the front side of the receiving net 17. Further, by forming each net receiving member 53 into the same shape, the productivity and assembling property of the receiving net 17 can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 16, the rough sorting chaff sheave 31 is composed of a single sorting plate 54 bolted to the sheave case 29 in a rearwardly inclined posture located upward toward the lower side in the sorting direction. Has been done.

On the front side of the sorting plate 54 (a region of about 1/3 of the front side with respect to the entire sorting plate 54), a plurality of leak holes 54A formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view are formed between the leak holes 54A in the front row. The leak holes 54A in the back row are arranged in a staggered pattern. On the rear side of the sorting plate 54 (a region of about two-thirds of the rear side of the sorting plate 54 as a whole), a plurality of leakage holes 54B, 54C formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view having sorting pieces 54a, 54b are formed. , The leak holes 54B and 54C in the back row are arranged in a staggered manner between the leak holes 54B and 54C in the front row.

Of the sorting pieces 54a and 54b, the sorting pieces 54a located on the left and right center sides of the sorting plate 54 are formed in a scale shape narrower toward the lower side in the sorting direction and located above. The sorting pieces 54b located at both left and right ends of the sorting plate 54 have a rectangular shape shorter than the sorting pieces 54a on the left and right center sides, and are embossed so as to be located on the lower side in the sorting direction.

That is, since the chaf sheave 31 for rough sorting is composed of a single sorting plate 54, for example, the chaf sheave 31 is configured by arranging and arranging a large number of chaf flips made of strip steel plates at regular intervals in the front-rear direction. It is possible to simplify the configuration and reduce the cost as compared with the case of doing so.

Then, by forming a leak hole 54A not provided with the sorting pieces 54a and 54b on the front side of the chaf sheave 31 to which the sorted product having a high content of single grain grains is supplied, the front portion of the chaf sheave 31 is formed. The number of single-grained grains leaking from the side to the lower Glenpan 33 and Glensive 34 increases. As a result, it is possible to increase the recovery rate of the single grain grains in the first recovery section 21 located below the Glenpan 33 and the Glenshive 34.

Further, by forming the leakage holes 54B and 54C provided with the sorting pieces 54a and 54b on the rear side of the chaff sheave 31 in a staggered pattern in the front-back and left-right directions, the sorting product on the chaff sheave 31 is formed in the sieving sorting process. It will be evenly distributed in the left-right direction without any deviation. As a result, leakage of the single grain grains from the leakage holes 54B and 54C can be promoted.

Further, by equipping the chaff sheave 31 in a rearward tilted posture, the chaff sheave 31 sets the sorted product on the upper side in the sorting processing direction in the sieving sorting process as compared with the case where the chaf sheave 31 is equipped in the horizontal posture. The force to push toward it increases. Therefore, during the sieving sorting process, the transport of the sorted processed product to the lower side in the sorting direction is suppressed, and the vertical movement of the sorted processed product becomes violent, so that the specific gravity difference sorting of the sorted processed product is more effective. Therefore, the leakage of the grains having a large specific gravity from the leakage holes 54B and 54C is promoted, and the single grain grains are discharged to the outside of the machine from the discharge port 23. Can be effectively suppressed, and as a result, the grain recovery efficiency can be improved.

In addition, by forming the sorting pieces 54b on the left and right ends of the chaf sheave 31 to be shorter than the sorting pieces 54a on the left and right center sides, the sorting processed products in the chaf sheave 31 are easily deposited from the leak holes 54C on the left and right ends. Leakage of grains and the like can be promoted. As a result, it is possible to avoid a decrease in sorting efficiency due to the accumulation of the sorting processed material at both the left and right ends of the chaff sheave 31.

By the way, the ratio of the leak holes 54A formed in the chaff sheave 31 without the sorting pieces 54a and 54b and the leak holes 54B and 54C having the sorting pieces 54a and 54b depends on the type of grain to be sorted. Various changes can be made accordingly.

Further, on the front side of the sorting plate 54, a plurality of leak holes 54C formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view so as to have a short and rectangular sorting piece 54b are provided between the leak holes 54C in the front row in the rear row. The leak holes 54C may be arranged and formed in a staggered pattern.

As shown in FIG. 3, among the sorting winds from the wall insert 20, the sorting wind passing through the upper air passage R1 passes through the air passage R4 formed in the sheave case 29 and is directed toward the second plate 45 of the handling cylinder 16. It is set to flow. As a result, the processed material whose flow to the lower side in the threshing processing direction is blocked by the second plate 45 can be conveyed by wind power toward the periphery of the handling cylinder 16. As a result, it is possible to avoid the possibility that the processed material is deposited at the position immediately before the second plate 45 and interferes with the threshing process.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, in the handling cylinder 16, the handling teeth 48A located at the rear end are located rearward of the rear end of the receiving net 17 and face the culm opening 18. That is, at the rear end of the handling cylinder 16, the receiving net 17 does not exist, so that a relatively large space is formed around the receiving net 17. As a result, even if the threshing culm is entangled with the tooth 48A at the rear end of the handling cylinder, the threshing culm will come out from the tip of the handling tooth 48A by the centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the handling cylinder 16. .. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the retention of the threshed culm due to being caught on the tooth 48A at the rear end of the handling cylinder 16 and promote the release of the threshed culm from the outlet 18. it can.
