Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、脱穀装置におけるチャフシーブの揺動構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
チャフシーブ上に供給される選別物は、一般に、搬送上手側での選別物は穀粒の比率が大きいのに対して、搬送下手側での選別物は穀粒の比率が小さく選別物の大半はワラ屑が占めている。その為、チャフ板どうしの隙間がすべて同じであれば、搬送上手側の穀粒を十分に漏下させようとチャフ板を揺動させて隙間を大きくすると、搬送下手側のわら屑も漏下し易くなり2番還元物が多くなり選別性能が低下してしまい、また逆に、搬送下手側のわら屑の漏下を防ぐために隣り合うチャフ板の隙間を小さくすると、搬送上手側における穀粒の漏下量も減ってしまい穀粒を十分に回収することができない、といった不具合が生じていた。
【0003】
そのため、従来では、チャフシーブの搬送上手部分を搬送下手部分より選別物の漏下量を多くするために、同じ幅に備えられているチャフ板の角度を異なるように構成して、搬送上手部分の隣り合うチャフ板の間隔に比べて搬送下手部分の隣り合うチャフ板の間隔より広く設定しているものがあった。その構成としては、搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分との夫々を個別に揺動させるように構成したり、また、搬送上手部分のチャフ板に対する搬送下手部分のチャフ板の位置ずれを許すように構成(例えば、特開平2001−095360号公報)したりしたものが考えられている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記従来の前者の構成のものであると、2組のチャフシーブに対して夫々に揺動構造を備えなければならず、また、上記従来の後者の構成のものでは、搬送上手部分に対して搬送下手部分のチャフ板における連結杆への取付構造が複雑になってしまい、両者ともに、隙間を変更させる構造が複雑になるとともにコスト高となってしまうおそれがあった。
【0005】
本発明の目的は、隣り合うチャフ板の隙間を搬送下手部分より搬送上手部分を広く設定したチャフシーブ構造を、簡単な構造変更するだけで構成して安価に提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
〔構成〕
本発明の請求項1にかかる特徴構成は、上部の支点周りに揺動可能なチャフ板を多数備えてチャフシーブを構成するとともに、前記チャフ板の下部を連結杆で連結してすべてのチャフ板の上下の各支軸間距離が等しく、且つ前記チャフ板のすべてが互いに平行状態を維持しながら一体揺動するように構成し、チャフシーブの搬送上手部分におけるチャフ板同士の間隔を、チャフシーブの搬送下手部分におけるチャフ板同士の間隔より広く、チャフ板同士の間隔が広い搬送上手部分の前後設置範囲をチャフ板同士の間隔が狭い搬送下手部分の前後設置範囲より短く設定し、チャフ板同士の間隔が広い搬送上手部分の大部分をグレンパンの上方に位置させ、チャフ板同士の間隔が狭い搬送下手部分の始端部をグレンパンの後方に連設したグレンシーブの上方に位置させてある点にある。
【0007】
〔作用〕
上記構成によれば、搬送上手部分ではチャフ板どうしの間隔が広くて選別物を漏下しやすく、漏下した選別物をグレンパン上に落下するようにし、搬送下手部分ではチャフ板同士の間隔が狭くて選別物のうち穀粒をグレンシーブ上に流下させ、選別物に混じっている藁屑の漏下をし難くしてあるので選別性能が向上できる。また、チャフ板を揺動させても、搬送上手部分のチャフ板どうしの間隔が搬送下手部分のチャフ板同士の間隔より広い、という関係が崩れないものであるとともに、搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分とを一体に揺動させても、チャフ板下部の移動方向、並びに移動距離が搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分とで同じであるため、リンク構造を搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分とで同じように構成できる。
【0008】
〔効果〕
従って、搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分とで漏下しやすさの違うものでありながら、搬送上手部分と搬送下手部分とでのリンク構造を同様に構成して構造簡単にすることができ、チャフシーブを安価に構成できる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図1は、本発明を適用したコンバイン搭載用の脱穀装置を示している。この脱穀装置は、フィードチェーン1で挟持搬送されてきた刈取穀稈を脱穀処理する扱胴3を扱室2に軸支し、この扱胴3の下方で脱穀した選別物を漏下処理する受網4を張設する脱穀部Aと、選別物を後方に揺動移送しながら篩い選別ならびに風選別処理し、選別物を一番物(穀粒)と二番物とに分けて回収する選別部Bとを備えて構成している。
【0010】
前記選別部Bは、受網4の前部から漏下した選別物を穀粒とわら屑とに比重選別しながら後方へ移送する第1グレンパン10a、第1グレンパン10aや受網4からの選別物を篩い選別するチャフシーブ11、チャフシーブ11の前部から漏下した選別物を穀粒とワラ屑とに比重選別しながら後方へ移送する第2グレンパン10b、穀粒を篩い選別するとともに唐箕5からの選別風で風選別処理するグレンシーブ12、扱室後端からの選別物をわら屑と回収可能な選別物とに選別処理するストローラック13等をそれぞれシーブケース6に設け、このシーブケース6を一定ストロークで前後に揺動駆動するように構成している。グレンシーブ12から漏下して風選された穀粒は、貯留タンク(図示せず)に搬出する一番物回収部8aと、グレンシーブ12の後端から落下した刺さり籾や枝付き籾等の二番物を二番物還元装置9を介して選別上手側に還元して再処理させる二番物回収部8bとに選別されて回収される。そして、シーブケース6上に浮遊する塵埃は、排塵ブロア7の吸引風によって機外に排出されるようになっている。
【0011】
次に、前記チャフシーブ11の構造について説明する。図2に示されているように、チャフシーブ11は、傾斜させた複数のチャフ板11aを選別物搬送方向の所定間隔おきに配置することによって構成されており、チャフ板11aを揺動可能に構成した揺動チャフシーブ11Aと、チャフ板11aをシーブケース6に固定した固定チャフシーブ11Bとを備えている。そして、揺動チャフシーブ11Aの構成は、シーブケース6に固定した支持部材14に各チャフ板11aの上部を支軸16を介して支点P周りに回転自在に枢支連結し、チャフ板11aの下部を連結杆15に回動自在に支軸17を介して軸支してある。尚、チャフ板11aはバネ18によって閉じ側に付勢してあり、チャフ板11aは、揺動チャフシーブ11A上の選別物の量が多くなるとバネ付勢に抗して開き側に揺動し、揺動チャフシーブ11A上の選別物の量が少なくなるとバネ付勢によって閉じ側に揺動するため、揺動チャフシーブ11Aのチャフ板11a角度を揺動チャフシーブ11A上の選別物の量に見合った角度とすることができる。
【0012】
揺動チャフシーブ11Aのチャフ板11aどうしの間隔は、搬送上手部分fでのチャフ板11aどうしの間隔aを、搬送下手部分rでのチャフ板11aどうしの間隔bに比べて大きく設定してあり、搬送上手部分fを搬送下手部分rより選別物を漏下し易く構成してある。
【0013】
チャフ板11aの揺動支点Pと連結杆15に対する連結点との間隔を、搬送上手部分fのチャフ板11aと搬送下手部分rのチャフ板11aとで等しく設定するとともに、揺動チャフシーブ11Aにおけるチャフ板11aのすべてが常に平行となるように連結してある。従って、チャフ板11aが揺動する際には、チャフ板11aの搬送上手部分fと搬送下手部分rとを連結杆15によって一連に揺動させて、前記間隔a,bの大小関係を維持しながらチャフ板11aどうしの間隔を変更させるとともに、この際、搬送上手部分fと搬送下手部分rとを一連に揺動させても、搬送上手部分fと搬送下手部分rとでチャフ板11a下部の移動方向並びに移動距離が同じであるため、搬送下手部分r(或いは搬送上手部分f)にチャフ板11a下部における連結点の位置ずれを許容する構造が必要がない。
【0014】
〔別実施の形態〕
尚、上記実施の形態では、揺動チャフシーブ11Aの搬送上手部分fと搬送下手部分rとの2段階にチャフ板どうしの間隔を設定したが、必要に応じて3段階以上に設定してもよい。また、チャフ板11aの揺動を選別物の重量により開閉するものではなく、センサーなどにより選別物量を検出するもの、例えば、チャフシーブ上の選別物の堆積量を検出し、その検出結果に基づいてチャフシーブ11Aを揺動操作するものでもよい。また、上記実施の形態では、チャフシーブ11を、揺動チャフシーブ11Aと固定チャフシーブ11Bとで構成したが、揺動チャフシーブ11Aのみで構成してもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a chaff sheave swinging structure in a threshing apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As for the sorts supplied on the chaff sheave, the sorts on the upper transport side generally have a large grain ratio, while the sorts on the lower transport side have a small grain ratio and the majority of the sorts. Straw scraps occupy. Therefore, if all the gaps between the chaff plates are the same, swinging the chaff plate to make the grain on the upper transport side sufficiently leaked will increase the gap on the lower transport side. If the gap between adjacent chaff plates is reduced to prevent leakage of straw waste on the lower transport side, the grain on the upper transport side will be reduced. As a result, there was a problem that the amount of spillage was reduced and the grains could not be recovered sufficiently.
[0003]
For this reason, conventionally, in order to increase the amount of leakage of the sorting material in the upper part of the transport of the chaff sheave than the lower part of the transport, the angle of the chaff plate provided in the same width is configured differently, In some cases, the distance between adjacent chaff plates is set wider than the distance between adjacent chaff plates in the lower conveyance section. As the configuration, it is configured to individually swing the transport upper part and the transport lower part, or to allow the shift of the chaff plate of the lower transport part with respect to the chaff plate of the upper transport part (For example, JP-A-2001-095360) is considered.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the above-described conventional configuration, the two sets of chaff sheaves must be provided with a rocking structure, respectively. As a result, the structure for attaching the lower part of the conveyance to the connecting rod on the chaff plate becomes complicated, and both of them have a complicated structure for changing the gap and may increase the cost.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a chaff sheave structure in which the gap between adjacent chaff plates is set wider than the lower conveyance part by simply changing the structure and providing it at low cost.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
〔Constitution〕
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a chaff sheave is configured by including a large number of chaff plates that can swing around an upper fulcrum, and the lower portion of the chaff plate is connected by a connecting rod to make all the chaff plates The distance between the upper and lower support shafts is equal, and all the chaff plates are configured to swing together while maintaining a parallel state, and the distance between the chaff plates in the upper portion of the chaff sheave is set to the lower chaff sheave. Set the front and rear installation range of the upper part of the conveyance wider than the gap between the chaff plates in the part and wider between the chaff plates than the front and rear installation range of the lower conveyance part where the distance between the chaff plates is narrow and the distance between the chaff plates is Grenshi where most of the wide transport upper part is positioned above the grain pan, and the start end of the transport lower part where the gap between the chaff plates is narrow is connected to the rear of the grain pan. Lies in that is is positioned above the drive.
[0007]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, the separation between the chaff plates is wide at the upper conveyance portion, and the sorted material is likely to leak, and the leakage of the separated separation material is dropped on the gren pan. Since the grains are narrow and the grains are allowed to flow down on the grain sieve, it is difficult for the sawdust mixed in the selections to leak, so that the selection performance can be improved . In addition, even if the chaff plates are swung, the relationship that the distance between the chaff plates in the upper conveyance portion is wider than the interval between the chaff plates in the lower conveyance portion does not collapse, and the upper conveyance portion and the lower conveyance portion Since the movement direction and movement distance of the lower part of the chaff plate are the same in the upper conveyance part and the lower conveyance part, the link structure is the same in the upper conveyance part and the lower conveyance part. Can be configured.
[0008]
〔effect〕
Accordingly, while the ease of leakage differs between the upper transport part and the lower transport part, the link structure of the upper transport part and the lower transport part can be similarly configured to simplify the structure. Can be configured at low cost.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a threshing apparatus for loading a combine to which the present invention is applied. This threshing device pivotally supports a handling cylinder 3 for threshing the harvested cereals that have been nipped and transported by the feed chain 1 to the handling chamber 2, and receives the cerealed product that has been threshed below the handling cylinder 3. A threshing section A that stretches the net 4 and a sieve sorting and wind sorting process while moving the sorting back and forth, and sorting to collect the sorting into the first (grain) and the second sorting. Part B is configured.
[0010]
The sorting section B sorts from the first gren pan 10a, the first gren pan 10a, and the receiving net 4 while moving the sorting leaked from the front part of the receiving net 4 to the grain and straw scraps while sorting the specific gravity. Chaff sheave 11 for sieving and sorting, the second gren pan 10b for transferring the spilled material leaked from the front part of chaff sheave 11 to cereal and straw scraps, and sorting the grain and sieving and sorting from grain 5 The sheave case 6 is provided with a grain sheave 12 that performs a wind sorting process using a sorting air of the type, a Strollac 13 that sorts a sorted product from the rear end of the handling chamber into straw waste and a collected sorted product, and the like. It is configured to swing back and forth with a fixed stroke. The grains that have been wind-selected by leaking from the grain sieve 12 are the first thing collection part 8a to be carried out to a storage tank (not shown), and two types of stabbed rice cake and branched rice cakes dropped from the rear end of the grain sieve 12. The picked goods are sorted and collected by the second picking-up unit 8b that returns the processed goods to the upper side of the sorting through the second-pickup reducing device 9 and reprocesses them. The dust floating on the sheave case 6 is discharged to the outside by the suction air from the dust blower 7.
[0011]
Next, the structure of the chaff sheave 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the chaff sheave 11 is configured by arranging a plurality of inclined chaff plates 11 a at predetermined intervals in the selected article transport direction, and the chaff plate 11 a is configured to be swingable. And a fixed chaff sheave 11B in which the chaff plate 11a is fixed to the sheave case 6. The structure of the swinging chaff sheave 11A is such that the upper part of each chaff plate 11a is pivotally connected to the supporting member 14 fixed to the sheave case 6 around the fulcrum P via the support shaft 16, and the lower part of the chaff plate 11a. Is pivotally supported by a connecting rod 15 via a support shaft 17. The chaff plate 11a is biased to the closing side by the spring 18, and the chaff plate 11a swings to the open side against the spring bias when the amount of the selection on the swinging chaff sheave 11A increases. When the amount of the selection on the swinging chaff sheave 11A decreases, it swings to the closed side by the spring bias, and therefore the angle of the chaff plate 11a of the swinging chaff sheave 11A corresponds to the amount of the selection on the swinging chaff sheave 11A. can do.
[0012]
The interval between the chaff plates 11a of the swinging chaff sheave 11A is set so that the interval a between the chaff plates 11a at the upper conveyance portion f is larger than the interval b between the chaff plates 11a at the lower conveyance portion r. The upper conveyance part f is configured to make it easier to leak the selection than the lower conveyance part r.
[0013]
The distance between the swing fulcrum P of the chaff plate 11a and the connection point with respect to the connecting rod 15 is set to be equal between the chaff plate 11a of the transport upper part f and the chaff plate 11a of the lower transport part r, and the chaff in the swing chaff sheave 11A is set. All of the plates 11a are connected so as to be always parallel. Therefore, when the chaff plate 11a is swung, the upper conveyance portion f and the lower conveyance portion r of the chaff plate 11a are continuously swung by the connecting rod 15 to maintain the magnitude relationship between the distances a and b. While changing the interval between the chaff plates 11a, even if the upper conveyance portion f and the lower conveyance portion r are swung in series, the upper conveyance portion f and the lower conveyance portion r can be separated from the lower portion of the chaff plate 11a. Since the movement direction and the movement distance are the same, there is no need for a structure that allows the misalignment of the connecting point in the lower portion of the chaff plate 11a in the lower conveyance portion r (or the upper conveyance portion f).
[0014]
[Another embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the interval between the chaff plates is set in two stages, that is, the upper conveyance part f and the lower conveyance part r of the swinging chaff sheave 11A, but may be set to three or more stages as necessary. . Further, the swing of the chaff plate 11a is not opened / closed by the weight of the selected material, but the amount of the selected material is detected by a sensor or the like, for example, the amount of the accumulated material on the chaff sheave is detected, and based on the detection result. The chaff sheave 11A may be swung. Further, in the above embodiment, the chaff sheave 11 is configured by the swinging chaff sheave 11A and the fixed chaff sheave 11B, but may be configured by only the swinging chaff sheave 11A.
