【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、脱穀装置の排ワラ出口からの脱穀排ワラを長ワラ状態で、かつ、横倒れ姿勢で地面上に落下させる排ワラ落下経路を備えてあるコンバインの脱穀排ワラ処理装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
上記コンバインにおいて、従来、たとえば特許文献1に示されるように、脱穀装置の排ワラ出口から脱穀排ワラが連続的に排出されても、圃場面上には間欠的に落下するように、排ワラ落下経路に排ワラドロッパー7を設けたものがあった。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平11−266663号公報 ( 段落番号〔0019〕、図2、3)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
特許文献1にも示されるように、上記した排ワラドロッパー7にあっては、落下して来た排ワラを受け止めて収集する上昇収集姿勢と、収集した排ワラを落下させる下降排出姿勢に揺動切り換え自在に支持された排ワラ受け具9、この排ワラ受け具9に作用する一対のバネ11,12を備えるとともに、排ワラ受け具9による排ワラ収集が行なわれる間は、排ワラ受け具9が一対のバネ11,12の付勢力によって上昇収集姿勢に維持され、排ワラ収集が進んで排ワラ受け具9が排ワラ重量のために一対のバネ11,12に抗して下降揺動するに伴い、一方のバネ11が排ワラ受け具9を上昇付勢する状態から下降付勢する状態に切り換わり、このバネ11の下降操作と排ワラ重量のために排ワラ受け具9が下降排出姿勢になり、収集排ワラが排ワラ受け具9から落下すると、ワラ荷重がなくなることにより、一方のバネ11が他方のバネ12による付勢力のために、排ワラ受け具9を下降付勢する状態から上昇付勢する状態に切り換わり、排ワラ受け具9が一対のバネ11,12による上昇操作で上昇収集姿勢に戻るように構成される。
【0005】
このため、排ワラドロッパーを採用すると、殊にバネによる排ワラ受け具の操作を可能する構造の面からコスト高になっていた。
【0006】
また、高速走行されて脱穀装置に単位時間あたりに供給される刈取穀稈の量が多くなるなど、脱穀装置から脱穀排ワラが高速で多量に排出される状態になった場合、この排出ペースのままで脱穀排ワラがドロッパーに供給されると、収集排ワラが落下するように下降揺動したドロッパーが、落下してくる排ワラによる荷重のために収集姿勢に戻りにくくなり、脱穀排ワラがドロッパーをすり抜けて圃場面上に連続して落下してしまう事態が発生しやすくなっていた。若干の排ワラ荷重が掛かってもそれに抗してドロッパーが迅速にかつ強固に上昇収集姿勢に戻るように、ドロッパーを上昇収集姿勢に操作するバネの付勢力を強く設定すると、ドロッパーによって収集される排ワラが大重量にならないとドロッパーがバネに抗して下降排出姿勢に切り換わらなくなり、圃場面上に束状態に纏まって落下した収集ワラが重くなり過ぎて、その回収が行いにくくなることがあった。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、脱穀装置から脱穀排ワラが連続して排出されても圃場面上には間欠的に落下する排ワラ処理をコスト面などで有利に行なえ、かつ、圃場面上に落下する収集ワラのボリューム調整が行いやすいコンバインの脱穀排ワラ処理装置を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0009】
〔構成〕
脱穀装置の排ワラ出口からの脱穀排ワラを長ワラ状態で、かつ、横倒れ姿勢で地面上に落下させる排ワラ落下経路を備えてあるコンバインの脱穀排ワラ処理装置において、前記排ワラ落下経路を横断して閉じた閉じ状態と、前記排ワラ落下経路を開いた開き状態に切り換え自在な落下規制杆、および、前記落下規制杆を前記閉じ状態と前記開き状態に常に切り換え駆動する駆動機構を備え、前記排ワラ落下経路の前記落下規制杆より低い配置レベルに落下規制棚を固設するとともに、この落下規制棚は、脱穀排ワラを水平又はほぼ水平の排ワラ載置面に一旦載せて受け止めてから地面へ落下させることで、脱穀排ワラの地面への落下を規制するように構成してある。
【0010】
〔作用〕
落下規制杆が駆動機構によって常に駆動されて排ワラ落下経路を開いた状態と閉じた状態に切り換っているものだから、脱穀排ワラが排ワラ出口から連続的に排出されても、脱穀排ワラが排ワラ出口から排出されたままのペースで落下しないで、落下規制杆によって受け止められて一旦停止してから落下するように落下規制されながら落下していく。
【0011】
落下規制杆を通過した脱穀排ワラが、そのまま圃場面上に落下すると、落下規制杆が開き状態に駆動された際に落下規制杆を通過した脱穀排ワラがそのままで圃場面上に落下し、落下規制杆による落下規制が行なわれる割には、圃場面上に対して排ワラが切れ目なく連続して落下することが所々に発生しやすくなる。これに対し、落下規制杆を通過した脱穀排ワラは、落下規制棚の排ワラ載置面に載り、引き続いて落下した脱穀排ワラによって排ワラ載置面上から押し出されて圃場面上に落下していくものだから、落下規制杆からの脱穀排ワラが、そのまま圃場面に落下しないで落下規制棚によって受け止められて一旦停止してから落下するように落下規制されながら圃場面上に落下していく。これにより、脱穀排ワラが脱穀装置から高速で多量に排出されても、落下規制杆による落下規制と、落下規制棚による落下規制を受けて圃場面上に精度よく間欠的に落下する。
【0012】
落下規制杆を常に切り換え駆動するものであるから、落下規制杆の駆動速度を適切に設定することにより、圃場面に間欠的に落下した排ワラの収集量を重量面などで回収に適した収集量になるように調節できる。
【0013】
〔効果〕
従って、脱穀装置が脱穀排ワラを高速で多量に排出するなど、脱穀装置の排ワラ排出ペースが如何なる状態になった場合でも、脱穀排ワラが束状態に纏まって点在する状態で圃場に放出されて回収作業が行いやすくなる。圃場面に纏まって落下した排ワラが支持しやすい重量の束状態になるように調節して、この面からも回収作業を行いやすくできる。その割には、落下規制杆を駆動機構によって駆動切り換え自在に設けるとともに落下規制棚を設けるだけの比較的簡単な構造で済んで安価に得られる。
【0014】
請求項2による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0015】
〔構成〕
請求項1による発明の構成において、前記落下規制杆は、受け止めた脱穀排ワラによる圧力によって排ワラ落下経路を開く側に弾性変形するようにバネ材で作製してある。
【0016】
〔作用〕
排ワラ出口から大ボリュームの脱穀排ワラが排出された場合でも、落下規制杆が閉じ駆動された際、落下規制杆に掛かる脱穀排ワラの圧力によっては落下規制杆が排ワラ落下経路を開く側に弾性変形し、落下規制杆や駆動機構に強い駆動反力が掛かって変形や破損が発生することを回避しやすくしながら落下規制杆を脱穀排ワラに受け止め作用させられる。
【0017】
〔効果〕
従って、脱穀装置から大ボリュームの脱穀排ワラが排出されても、落下規制杆や駆動機構などに変形や破損が発生しにくいように耐久性の富んだものになる。
【0018】
請求項3による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0019】
〔構成〕
脱穀装置の排ワラ出口からの脱穀排ワラを長ワラ状態で、かつ、横倒れ姿勢で地面上に落下させる排ワラ落下経路を備えてあるコンバインの脱穀排ワラ処理装置において、前記排ワラ落下経路に、この排ワラ落下経路を横断して閉じた閉じ状態に付勢された落下規制杆、及び、この落下規制杆より低い配置レベルに固設された落下規制棚を設けるとともに、前記落下規制杆は、脱穀排ワラに受け止め作用するとともに設定重量以上の排ワラ重量によって付勢力に抗して排ワラ落下経路を開いた開き状態になって脱穀排ワラを落下させるように構成し、前記落下規制棚は、脱穀排ワラを水平又はほぼ水平の排ワラ載置面に一旦載せて受け止めてから地面へ落下させることで、脱穀排ワラの地面への落下を規制するように構成してある。
【0020】
〔作用〕
脱穀排ワラが排ワラ出口から連続的に排出されても、落下規制杆によって受け止められて収集され、この収集のために排ワラ重量が設定重量以上になると、落下規制杆が閉じ付勢に抗して開き状態になって排ワラが落下していく。これにより、排ワラ出口からの脱穀排ワラは、排ワラ出口から排出されたままのペースで落下しないで落下規制杆によって受け止められ一旦停止してから落下するように落下規制されながら落下していく。
【0021】
落下規制杆を通過した脱穀排ワラが、そのまま圃場面上に落下すると、落下規制杆が開き状態になった際に落下規制杆をすり抜けて落下した脱穀排ワラがそのままで圃場面上に落下し、落下規制杆による落下規制が行なわれる割には、圃場面上に対して排ワラが切れ目なく連続して落下することが所々に発生しやすくなる。これに対し、落下規制杆を通過した脱穀排ワラは、落下規制棚の排ワラ載置面に載り、引き続いて落下した脱穀排ワラによって排ワラ載置面上から押し出されて圃場面上に落下していくものだから、落下規制杆からの脱穀排ワラが、そのまま圃場面に落下しないで落下規制棚によって受け止められて一旦停止してから落下するように落下規制されながら圃場面上に落下していく。これにより、脱穀排ワラが脱穀装置から高速で多量に排出されても、落下規制杆による落下規制と、落下規制棚による落下規制を受けて圃場面上に精度よく間欠的に落下する。
【0022】
〔効果〕
従って、脱穀装置が脱穀排ワラを高速で多量に排出するなど、脱穀装置の排ワラ排出ペースが如何なる状態になった場合でも、脱穀排ワラが束状態に纏まって点在する状態で圃場に放出されて回収作業が行いやすくなる。その割には、落下規制杆を閉じ付勢された状態で設けるとともに落下規制棚を設けるだけの比較的簡単な構造で済んで安価に得られる。
【0023】
請求項4による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0024】
〔構成〕
請求項3による発明の構成において、前記落下規制杆は、バネ材製であり、受け止めた脱穀排ワラの重量によって前記閉じ状態から前記開き状態に弾性変形するように構成してある。
【0025】
〔作用〕
落下規制杆の一端側を支持部に固定させて支持させ、落下規制杆に排ワラ圧力が作用すると、落下規制杆そのものが弾性変形して落下経路を開いて排ワラを通過させるとか、落下規制杆に無理な荷重が掛かることを回避するものである。
【0026】
〔効果〕
従って、落下規制杆として固定支持されるバネ材製を採用するだけの簡単な構造で済んで安価に得られる。
【0027】
【発明の実施の形態】
〔第1実施形態〕
図1に示すように、クローラ式走行装置1によって自走し、かつ、運転キャビン2が付いている搭乗型運転部などを備えて自走機体の機体フレーム3の前部に、刈取り前処理部4の前処理部フレーム4aの基端部を回動自在に連結するとともに、この前処理部フレーム4aの遊端側にリフトシリダ5を連結し、前記機体フレーム3の上に脱穀装置6及び穀粒タンク7を設け、前記脱穀装置6の後部に脱穀排ワラ処理装置Aを設けて、コンバインを構成してある。
【0028】
このコンバインは、稲、麦などの穀粒を収穫するものであり、前記リフトシリンダ5を操作すると、このリフトシリンダ5が前処理部フレーム4aを機体フレーム3に対して上下に揺動操作して、刈取り前処理部4を圃場面上近くに下降した作業状態と、圃場面から高く浮上した非作業状態とに昇降操作する。刈取り前処理部4を下降作業状態にして自走機体を走行させると、刈取り前処理部4が複数条の植立穀稈を機体横方向に並んでいる複数の引起し装置4bによって各別に引起し処理するとともにバリカン型の刈取り装置4cによって刈取り処理し、刈取り穀稈を搬送装置4dによって機体後方向きに搬送する。脱穀装置6が脱穀フィードチェーン6aによって前記搬送装置4dからの刈取穀稈の株元側を挟持搬送しながらその穂先側を扱室(図示せず)に供給して脱穀処理し、穀粒タンク7が脱穀装置6からの脱穀粒を回収して貯留していき、脱穀排ワラ処理装置Aが脱穀装置4からの脱穀排ワラを細断して圃場に放出するとか長ワラ状態のままで圃場に放出する排ワラ処理をしていく。
【0029】
図2,3,4,5などに示すように、前記脱穀排ワラ処理装置Aは、脱穀装置6の脱穀機体の後部に取り付けた排ワラ細断装置10、この排ワラ細断装置10の上方に搬送終端側が位置している排ワラ搬送装置20、前記排ワラ細断装置10のカッターケース11と、このカッターケース11の後面側に取り付けたガイド板30と、このガイド板30の後方に位置する左右一対のガイド杆31とによって脱穀機体の後側に形成した排ワラ落下経路32、脱穀装置6の機体後端部に位置する排ワラ出口6bの後方に配置した左右一対の落下規制杆33、この左右一対の落下規制杆33,33より低い配置レベルに配置して前記排ワラ落下経路32の途中に固設した落下規制棚34、この落下規制棚34より低い配置レベルに配置したドロッパー40を備えて構成してある。
【0030】
図4,6などに示すように、前記左右一対のガイド杆31は、脱穀機体の機体フレームから機体後方側に延出された左右一対の支持アーム35,35にわたって連結している機体横向きの支持杆36にガイド杆31の上端部で支持されている。
【0031】
図4,5に示すように、前記排ワラ搬送装置20は、脱穀フィードチェーン6aによって扱室から搬出された脱穀排ワラの株元側を無端回動チェーン21と搬送ガイド杆22によって脱穀フィードチェーン6aから受け継いで挟持搬送する株元側挟持搬送装置23、および、脱穀フィードチェーン6aからの脱穀排ワラの前記株元側挟持搬送装置23よりも穂先側を無端回動チェーン24のアーム形の係止搬送爪20aによって係止搬送する穂先側係止搬送装置25を備えて構成してある。
図3の如く前記株元側挟持搬送装置23は、脱穀排ワラを脱穀機体に対して穂先側に移動させながら機体後方側に搬送するように搬送終端側ほど搬送始端側より脱穀フィードチェーン6aとは反対側に位置ずれした傾斜状態にして配置してある。図5に明示するように、株元側挟持搬送装置23の前記搬送ガイド杆22は、搬送終端側のガイド杆部分22aが搬送始端側の固定ガイド杆部分22bの方にスライド引退して排ワラ細断装置10の上方で搬送排ワラの挟持を解除する短縮状態と、搬送終端側のガイド杆部分22aが固定ガイド杆部分22bから引き出されて搬送排ワラを前記排ワラ出口6bに至るまで挟持する伸長状態とに切り換えできるようになっている。
【0032】
前記左右一対の落下規制杆33,33それぞれの上端側は、前記左右一対の支持アーム35にわたって回動自在に支持された機体横向きの回転支軸37が一体回動自在に備えているブラケット37aに固定してあり、各落下規制杆33は、回転支軸37が回動操作されることにより、この回転支軸37の軸芯まわりで機体前後方向に揺動し、図5に実線で示す如く落下規制杆33の遊端部33aが前記カッターケース11の前記落下規制棚34より高レベルに位置する機体上下向きのケース部分11aに当接して、前記排ワラ出口6bから落下した脱穀排ワラに受け止め作用するように前記排ワラ落下経路32を横断して閉じた状態と、落下規制杆33の遊端部33aが前記ケース部分11aから機体後方側に約260mmの間隔D(図7参照)をもって離れて、脱穀排ワラに対する受け止めを解除して脱穀排ワラを落下させるように前記排ワラ落下経路32を開いた状態に切り換わるようになっている。
【0033】
図3,6などに示すように、前記回転支軸37の一端部に板金部材を付設して回転支軸37を回動操作する操作部材37bを構成し、この操作部材37bに連動ロッド51を備えた連動機構50によって出力スプロケット60aが連動している電動モータ60を、前記一対の支持アーム35,35の一方の基端側に固定のモータブラケット61に取り付けてある。
連動機構50は、電動モータ60の前記出力スプロケット60aに伝動チェーン52を介して入力スプロケット53aが連動している状態で前記支持アーム35に固定のブラケット54に回動自在に支持されているクランク装置53、このクランク装置53の出力体53bに一端側が連結し、他端側が前記操作部材37bに連結している前記連動ロッド51を備えて構成してあり、電動モータ60の駆動力を伝動チェーン52によってクランク装置53の入力スプロケット53aに伝達して出力体53bを軸芯53cまわりで回動させ、この出力体53bの回動力を連動ロッド51により往復動力に変換して操作部材37bに伝達し、この操作部材37bを回転支軸37の軸芯まわりで往復揺動させるようになっている。
【0034】
これにより、電動モータ60は、連動機構50を介して操作部材37bを往復揺動するように駆動して回転支軸37を往復回動させることにより、左右一対の落下規制杆33を前記閉じ状態と前記開き状態に切り換え駆動する。前記支持アーム35の脱穀機体外に突出している部分に設けた図8の如き操作盤65が備えている操作スイッチ66をオンに切り換え操作して電動モータ60を駆動しておけば、左右一対の落下規制杆33は、電動モータ60によって閉じ状態と開き状態に常に切り換え駆動されて排ワラ出口6bからの脱穀排ワラの落下規制を行なう。すなわち、排ワラ出口6bから落下した脱穀排ワラが落下規制杆33で一旦停止して落下規制棚34に落下させるように、脱穀排ワラに対する受け止め作用とこの受け止め作用の解除を繰り返して行なう。
【0035】
前記操作盤65に変速スイッチ67を設け、この変速スイッチ67を切り換え操作することにより、落下規制杆33の切り換え駆動速度が低速と高速に切り換わるように、電動モータ60の駆動速度を低速と高速の2段階に切り換えられるようになっている。
【0036】
図7に示すように、前記落下規制棚34は、水平又はほぼ水平で、かつ、機体前後方向長さL(奥行き)が約140mmの排ワラ載置面34aを備えるように折り曲げ成形した前記ガイド板30の一部分で構成してある。前記落下規制杆33を経て落下した脱穀排ワラが排ワラ載置面34aに載り、排ワラ載置面34aに載った排ワラは、後から落下した脱穀排ワラによって押し出されて排ワラ載置面34aの上を滑るとか転動して排ワラ載置面34aから落下するように構成してある。これにより、落下規制棚34は、落下規制杆33からの脱穀排ワラの落下規制を行なう。すなわち、落下規制杆33から落下した脱穀排ワラをそのまま地面上に落下しないように、排ワラ載置面34aの上で一旦停止させてから地面上に落下させる。また、脱穀排ワラを排ワラ載置面34aの上で転動させることにより、ばら付きが少なくなるように纏まった状態にして地面上に落下させる。
【0037】
つまり、この排ワラ処理装置Aにあっては、図5に示す如く排ワラ細断装置10のカッターケース11がこれの排ワラ受け入れ口12を開閉するように揺動自在に備えている蓋体13、及び、排ワラ搬送装置20の前記搬送終端側ガイド杆部分22aに連動させて運転部に設けてある切り換えレバー(図示せず)を操作し、前記蓋体13を開き状態と閉じ状態に、搬送ガイド杆22を短縮状態と伸長状態にそれぞれ切り換えることにより、脱穀排ワラを細断状態にして放出する排ワラ処理を行なうとか長ワラ状態のままで放出する排ワラ処理を行なうようになっている。
【0038】
すなわち、排ワラ細断装置10の蓋体13を開き状態に、排ワラ搬送装置20の搬送ガイド杆22を短縮状態にそれぞれ切り換えておくと、排ワラ搬送装置20が、脱穀フィードチェーン6aからの脱穀排ワラを株元側挟持搬送装置23と穂先側係止搬送装置25によって横倒れ姿勢で、脱穀機体に対して穂先側に移動させながら機体後方側に搬送し、排ワラ細断装置10の上方に到達すると、株元側挟持搬送装置23の無端回動チェーン21と搬送ガイド杆22による挟持を解除して落下させる。すると、排ワラ搬送装置20から落下した脱穀排ワラは、排ワラ細断装置10の排ワラ受け入れ口12からカッターケース11の内部に入ってこのカッターケース11の内部で駆動回動されているカッター軸14及び供給軸15の上方に落下し、カッター軸14の複数箇所に一体回動自在に付いていたこのカッター軸14によって回転駆動される円盤切断刃16と、供給軸15の複数箇所に一体回動自在に付いていてこの供給軸15によって回転駆動される円盤供給刃17によってこれらの間に掻き込まれて稈身方向に円盤切断刃16の配列ピッチで決まる長さの細断状態に切断される。細断ワラは、カッター軸14と供給軸15の間からカッターケース内の下部に落下し、駆動回動されている拡散オーガ18に当接して拡散作用を受け、この拡散オーガ18の下方に位置するカッターケース下端の排出口から機体横方向に分散して圃場面に落下する。
【0039】
これに対し、排ワラ細断装置10の前記蓋体13を閉じ状態に、排ワラ搬送装置20の搬送ガイド杆22を伸長状態にそれぞれ切り換えておくと、排ワラ搬送装置20が、脱穀フィードチェーン6aからの脱穀排ワラを株元側挟持搬送装置23と穂先側係止搬送装置25によって横倒れ姿勢で、脱穀機体に対して穂先側に移動させながら機体後方側に排ワラ細断装置10の後部付近まで搬送して排ワラ出口6bから長ワラ状態のままで、かつ、横倒れ姿勢で機体後方向側に排出する。排ワラ出口6bから排出された脱穀排ワラは、その横倒れ姿勢で排ワラ落下経路32を通って地面に落下する。
この長ワラ放出処理を行なうに当たり、前記操作スイッチ66をオンに切り換えておけば、左右一対の落下規制杆33が排ワラ落下経路32を閉じる状態と開く状態に電動モータ60によって常に切り換え駆動されて脱穀排ワラの受け止めと、受け止め解除を繰り返して行なうことにより、図9に示す如く脱穀排ワは、連続して落下しないように落下規制杆33で一旦停止してから落下するように落下規制されながら落下する。さらに、落下規制杆33を通過した脱穀排ワラは、落下規制棚34の排ワラ載置面34aに載って一旦停止してから地面に落下するように落下規制されながら落下する。これにより、排ワラ出口6bから脱穀排ワラが高速で多量に搬出された場合でも、脱穀排ワラが圃場面に切れ目無く連続して落下するのではなく、収集されて間欠的に落下した状態で圃場面に落下していく。また、落下規制棚34の排ワラ載置面上で転動して纏まってから落下することにより、圃場面上にばらつきが少ない収集状態になって落下する。
【0040】
排ワラ細断装置10の蓋体13を閉じ状態に、排ワラ搬送装置20の搬送ガイド杆22を伸長状態にそれぞれ切り換えておくとともに、前記操作スイッチ66をオフに切り換えて、落下規制杆33を排ワラ落下経路32を開いた状態に停止させておくと、排ワラ搬送装置20によって排ワラ出口6bから排出された脱穀排ワラが、排ワラ落下経路32を連続して落下してこの排ワラ落下経路32から圃場面上に連続して落下していく。このとき、図10に示すように、前記蓋体13の遊端部から垂下させてある可撓性を有した合成樹脂シート70が落下規制棚34を覆い、脱穀排ワラを落下規制棚34の排ワラ載置面34aに載らないで落下していくように案内する。
尚、落下規制杆33を駆動しながら排ワラ放出する際、図7に示すように、前記合成樹脂シート70は、閉じ状態に駆動された落下規制杆33によってカッターケース部分11aに押し付け操作され、脱穀排ワラが落下規制棚34の排ワラ載置面34aに載るようになる。
【0041】
図6に示すように、前記連動ロッド51をクランク装置53の出力体53b、及び、前記回転支軸37の操作部材37bに連結している継ぎ手55と連動ロッド51の間に、調節ネジ機構56を設け、この調節ネジ機構56を操作することにより、連動ロッド51の継ぎ手55どうしの間の長さが変化し、落下規制杆33の作動範囲をカッターケース部分11aに近づくとかこのカッターケース部分11aから離れるように調節できるようになっている。
【0042】
前記左右一対の落下規制杆33は、帯板形状のバネ材で作製してある。すなわち、落下規制杆33の作動範囲をカッターケース部分11aに近づく方に調節して落下規制杆33が閉じ状態に操作された際にその遊端部30aがカッターケース部分11aに強く当接することになった場合や、排ワラ出口6bから排出された脱穀排ワラのボリュームが大であった場合、落下規制杆33がカッターケース部分11aからの当接反力や、脱穀排ワラの圧力によって排ワラ落下経路32を開く側に弾性変形し、落下規制杆33の破損を回避できるようになっている。
また、落下規制杆33の作動範囲をカッターケース部分11aの方に調節されると、落下規制杆33の作動範囲のうち、遊端部33aがカッターケース部分11aに当接した状態になる範囲部分が広くなるが、遊端部33aがカッターケース部分11aに当接したままになることが落下規制杆30の弾性変形によって許容されることになり、下規制杆33が排ワラ落下経路32を閉じた状態に操作される時間が長くなり、脱穀排ワラを一旦停止させる時間が長くなる。
【0043】
〔第2実施形態〕

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a combine threshing and draining processing apparatus for a combine that is provided with a draining fall path for dropping a threshing drain from a draining outlet of the threshing apparatus in a long straw state and falling on the ground in a sideways posture.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the above combine, conventionally, as shown, for example, in Patent Document 1, even if the threshing waste straw is continuously discharged from the outlet of the threshing device, the waste straw is dropped intermittently on the field scene. There was one in which a drain wall dropper 7 was provided in the dropping path.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-266663 (paragraph number [0019], FIGS. 2 and 3)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As shown in Patent Document 1, the above-described waste drainer dropper 7 swings between an upward collection posture for receiving and collecting a fallen waste straw and a downward discharge posture for dropping the collected waste straw. An exhaust brace support 9 that is supported so as to be movable and a pair of springs 11 and 12 that act on the exhaust brace receiver 9 are provided. The tool 9 is maintained in the rising collection posture by the urging force of the pair of springs 11 and 12, and the waste straw collection progresses, and the waste straw receiver 9 swings downward against the pair of springs 11 and 12 due to the weight of the waste wall. As it moves, one of the springs 11 switches from a state of upwardly biasing the exhaust brace support 9 to a state of downward biasing. Collecting drainer When falling from the waste straw receiver 9, the cracker load disappears, so that one spring 11 is biased upward from the state in which the waste spring receiver 9 is biased downward due to the biasing force of the other spring 12. It is configured so that the waste brace support 9 is returned to the rising collection posture by the lifting operation by the pair of springs 11 and 12.
[0005]
For this reason, when the draining dropper is employed, the cost is high particularly from the viewpoint of the structure that enables the operation of the draining brace receiving device by the spring.
[0006]
In addition, if the amount of harvested cereal straw that is driven at high speed and supplied to the threshing device per unit time increases, the threshing waste straw is discharged from the threshing device at a high speed and a large amount is discharged. If the threshing waste straw is supplied to the dropper as it is, the dropper that has been swung down so that the collection waste straw falls will not easily return to the collection position due to the load of the falling waste straw, It was easy for the situation to fall through the dropper and fall continuously on the field scene. If the biasing force of the spring that operates the dropper to the rising collection posture is set so that the dropper returns to the rising collection posture quickly and firmly against a slight draining load, it is collected by the dropper. If the waste straw does not become heavy, the dropper will not switch to the downward discharge posture against the spring, and the collection straw that has fallen in a bundle on the field scene will become too heavy, making it difficult to collect it there were.
[0007]
It is an object of the present invention to be able to advantageously perform waste straw processing, which drops intermittently on a field scene even if the threshing waste straw is continuously discharged from the threshing apparatus, and falls on the field scene. An object of the present invention is to provide a combine threshing / dispersing apparatus for easy harvesting.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The configuration, operation, and effect of the invention according to claim 1 are as follows.
[0009]
〔Constitution〕
In the threshing drainer processing apparatus for a combine, the threshing draining path of the combine is provided with a draining falling path for dropping the threshing drainer from the outlet of the threshing apparatus on the ground in a long straw state and in a sideways posture. A drop restricting rod that can be switched between a closed state that is closed across and an open state that opens the draining wall dropping path, and a drive mechanism that constantly switches and drives the drop restricting rod between the closed state and the opened state. A drop control shelf is fixed at a level lower than the drop control rod of the discharge wall dropping path, and the drop control shelf has a threshing discharge wall on a horizontal or almost horizontal discharge wall mounting surface. Once Put By receiving it and dropping it to the ground, It is configured to regulate the falling of the threshing waste straw on the ground.
[0010]
[Action]
Since the drop regulating rod is always driven by the drive mechanism and switches between the opened state and the closed state of the waste straw falling path, even if the threshing waste straw is continuously discharged from the outlet outlet, The straw does not fall at the pace as it is discharged from the outlet of the waste straw, but is received by the drop regulation rod, and then falls while being regulated to fall after being stopped.
[0011]
When the threshing drainer that has passed through the fall regulation casket falls on the field scene as it is, the threshing drainer that has passed through the fall regulation casket drops onto the field scene as it is when driven to the open state, Although the drop restriction by the drop restriction rod is performed, it is easy to occur in some places that the waste straw falls continuously and continuously on the field scene. On the other hand, the threshing waste straw that has passed through the fall regulation rod is placed on the waste straw mounting surface of the fall regulation shelf, and subsequently pushed out from the waste straw placing surface by the falling threshing waste straw and falls onto the field scene. Therefore, the threshing waste straw from the fall regulation bowl does not fall into the field scene, but is received by the fall regulation shelf and dropped on the field scene while being dropped and regulated so as to fall. Go. Thereby, even if a large amount of threshing waste straw is discharged from the threshing device at a high speed, the threshing and falling straw is intermittently dropped onto the field scene accurately by receiving the fall regulation by the fall regulation basket and the fall regulation by the fall regulation shelf.
[0012]
Since the drop-control rod is always switched and driven, it is possible to collect the amount of waste straw dropped intermittently on the field by collecting the appropriate amount for collection on the weight surface, etc. by setting the drive speed of the drop-control rod appropriately Can be adjusted to the amount.
[0013]
〔effect〕
Therefore, even if the threshing device discharges a large amount of threshing waste straw at high speed, the threshing waste straw is released in a scattered state in a bundled state even if the threshing device discharge pace becomes any state. This makes it easier to collect. It is possible to easily perform the collection operation from this surface by adjusting the waste straws that have fallen together in the farm scene so as to be in a bundle of weights that are easy to support. On the other hand, it is possible to obtain a low cost by providing a relatively simple structure in which a drop regulation rod is provided so as to be switchable by a drive mechanism and a drop regulation shelf is provided.
[0014]
The structure, operation, and effect of the invention according to claim 2 are as follows.
[0015]
〔Constitution〕
In the configuration of the invention according to claim 1, the fall regulation rod is made of a spring material so as to be elastically deformed to the side of opening the drainer dropping path by the pressure of the received threshing drainer.
[0016]
[Action]
Even when a large volume of threshing waste straw is discharged from the outlet of the waste straw, when the fall regulation jar is driven to close, depending on the pressure of the threshing waste straw applied to the fall regulation jar, the fall regulation heel opens the drain wall falling path. The drop regulating rod is received by the threshing drainer while making it easy to avoid the occurrence of deformation or breakage due to a strong reaction force applied to the falling regulating rod or the drive mechanism.
[0017]
〔effect〕
Therefore, even if a large volume of threshing waste straw is discharged from the threshing device, it becomes rich in durability so that deformation or breakage of the fall restriction rod or the drive mechanism is unlikely to occur.
[0018]
The structure, operation, and effect of the invention according to claim 3 are as follows.
[0019]
〔Constitution〕
In the threshing drainer processing apparatus for a combine, the threshing draining path of the combine is provided with a draining falling path for dropping the threshing drainer from the outlet of the threshing apparatus on the ground in a long straw state and in a sideways posture. In addition, there are provided a drop regulation cage urged in a closed state that crosses the waste wall dropping path, and a fall regulation shelf fixed at a lower arrangement level than the fall regulation cage, and the drop regulation cage Is configured to receive the threshing waste straw and open the waste straw falling path against the urging force by the weight of the waste straw more than the set weight to drop the threshing waste straw, and the fall regulation The shelves place the threshing waste straw on a horizontal or nearly horizontal waste straw mounting surface. Once Put By receiving it and dropping it to the ground, It is configured to regulate the falling of the threshing waste straw on the ground.
[0020]
[Action]
Even if the threshing waste straw is continuously discharged from the outlet of the waste straw, it is received and collected by the drop restriction rod, and if the weight of the waste straw exceeds the set weight for this collection, the fall restriction rod closes and resists urging. Then it becomes open and the waste straw falls. As a result, the threshing waste straw from the outlet outlet is not dropped at a pace that is discharged from the outlet outlet, but is received by the fall regulation rod and dropped while being dropped and regulated so as to fall. .
[0021]
When the threshing waste straw that has passed through the fall regulation casket falls on the field scene as it is, the threshing drainer that has fallen through the fall regulation casket when it falls into the open state falls onto the field scene as it is. Although the drop restriction is performed by the drop restriction rod, it is easy to occur in some places that the waste straw falls continuously and continuously on the field scene. On the other hand, the threshing waste straw that has passed through the fall regulation rod is placed on the waste straw mounting surface of the fall regulation shelf, and subsequently pushed out from the waste straw placing surface by the falling threshing waste straw and falls onto the field scene. Therefore, the threshing waste straw from the fall regulation bowl does not fall into the field scene, but is received by the fall regulation shelf and dropped on the field scene while being dropped and regulated so as to fall. Go. Thereby, even if a large amount of threshing waste straw is discharged from the threshing device at a high speed, the threshing and falling straw is intermittently dropped onto the field scene accurately by receiving the fall regulation by the fall regulation basket and the fall regulation by the fall regulation shelf.
[0022]
〔effect〕
Therefore, even if the threshing device discharges a large amount of threshing waste straw at high speed, the threshing waste straw is released in a scattered state in a bundled state even if the threshing device discharge pace becomes any state. This makes it easier to collect. On the other hand, it can be obtained at a low cost because it requires a relatively simple structure in which the drop restricting rod is provided in a closed and energized state and a drop restricting shelf is provided.
[0023]
The configuration, operation, and effect of the invention according to claim 4 are as follows.
[0024]
〔Constitution〕
In the configuration of the invention according to claim 3, the fall regulation rod is made of a spring material, and is configured to be elastically deformed from the closed state to the open state by the weight of the received threshing drainer.
[0025]
[Action]
If one end of the drop restricting rod is fixed to the support and supported, and the outlet wall pressure acts on the drop restricting rod, the drop restricting rod itself will be elastically deformed to open the drop path and pass the waste wall. This is to avoid applying an excessive load on the bag.
[0026]
〔effect〕
Therefore, a simple structure that simply employs a spring material that is fixedly supported as a drop restricting rod is sufficient, and it can be obtained at low cost.

The operation member 37b is reciprocally swung around the axis of the rotation support shaft 37.
[0034]
As a result, the electric motor 60 drives the operating member 37b to reciprocally swing through the interlocking mechanism 50 and reciprocally rotates the rotation support shaft 37, thereby closing the pair of left and right drop restriction rods 33 in the closed state. And switching to the open state. If the electric motor 60 is driven by switching on the operation switch 66 provided in the operation panel 65 as shown in FIG. 8 provided in the portion of the support arm 35 protruding from the threshing machine body, a pair of left and right is driven. The drop restriction bar 33 is always driven to be switched between a closed state and an open state by the electric motor 60, and drops the threshing waste straw from the waste outlet 6b. That is, the catching action on the threshing drainer and the release of this catching action are repeatedly performed so that the threshing drainer that has fallen from the outlet outlet 6b is temporarily stopped by the fall regulation rod 33 and dropped on the fall regulation shelf 34.
[0035]
The operation panel 65 is provided with a speed change switch 67, and by operating the speed change switch 67, the drive speed of the electric motor 60 is changed between low speed and high speed so that the switching drive speed of the drop restriction rod 33 is switched between low speed and high speed. It can be switched to two stages.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 7, the drop regulation shelf 34 is bent or molded so as to have a waste wall mounting surface 34a that is horizontal or substantially horizontal and has a longitudinal length L (depth) of about 140 mm. A part of the plate 30 is formed. The threshing waste straw that has fallen through the fall regulation rod 33 is placed on the waste straw mounting surface 34a, and the waste straw placed on the waste straw mounting surface 34a is pushed out by the threshing waste straw that has been dropped later and placed on the waste straw mounting. It slides on the surface 34a or rolls to fall from the waste straw mounting surface 34a. Thereby, the fall regulation shelf 34 regulates the fall of the threshing waste straw from the fall regulation basket 33. That is, the threshing waste straw that has fallen from the fall restriction rod 33 is temporarily stopped on the waste straw mounting surface 34a and then dropped on the ground so as not to fall on the ground. Moreover, by rolling the threshing waste straw on the waste straw mounting surface 34a, the threshing waste straw is brought into a state of being gathered so as to reduce looseness and dropped on the ground.
[0037]
That is, in this waste straw processing apparatus A, as shown in FIG. 5, the cutter case 11 of the waste straw shredding apparatus 10 is provided so as to be swingable so as to open and close the waste straw receiving port 12. 13 and a switching lever (not shown) provided in the operation unit in conjunction with the conveyance end side guide rod portion 22a of the waste straw conveying device 20 to operate the lid 13 in an open state and a closed state. By switching the conveyance guide rod 22 between the shortened state and the extended state, the waste straw processing for releasing the threshing waste straw in a shredded state or discharging in the long straw state is performed. ing.
[0038]
That is, when the lid 13 of the waste straw shredding device 10 is opened and the transport guide rod 22 of the waste straw transport device 20 is switched to the shortened state, the waste straw transport device 20 is removed from the threshing feed chain 6a. The threshing waste straw is transported to the rear side of the machine while moving to the tip side with respect to the threshing machine body in a sideways posture by the stock holding side holding and conveying apparatus 23 and the tip side locking and conveying apparatus 25, and When reaching the upper side, the holding by the endless rotating chain 21 and the conveying guide rod 22 of the stock holding side holding and conveying device 23 is released and dropped. Then, the threshing waste straw that has fallen from the waste straw conveying device 20 enters the cutter case 11 through the waste straw receiving port 12 of the waste straw shredding device 10 and is driven and rotated inside the cutter case 11.

On the other hand, when the lid 13 of the waste straw shredding device 10 is closed, and the transport guide rod 22 of the waste straw transport device 20 is switched to the extended state, the waste straw transport device 20 is moved to the threshing feed chain. The threshing waste straw from 6a is moved sideways by the stock-side holding and transporting device 23 and the tip-side locking and transporting device 25, and moved to the tip side with respect to the threshing body while the draining shredding device 10 is moved to the rear side of the body. It is transported to the vicinity of the rear part and discharged from the outlet outlet 6b to the rear side of the machine body in a state of a long sider and in a sideways posture. The threshing waste straw discharged from the waste straw outlet 6b falls to the ground through the waste straw falling path 32 in the sideways posture.
If the operation switch 66 is switched on when performing the long straw discharge process, the pair of left and right drop restriction rods 33 are always driven to be switched between the closed state and the open state by the electric motor 60. By repeatedly receiving and releasing the threshing drainer, the threshing drainer is controlled to drop so that it falls once after being stopped by the fall control bar 33 so as not to fall continuously as shown in FIG. While falling. Further, the threshing waste straw that has passed through the drop regulation basket 33 falls on the fall straw mounting surface 34a of the fall regulation shelf 34, temporarily stops and then drops while being regulated to fall to the ground. Thereby, even when a large amount of threshing waste straw is carried out at a high speed from the outlet outlet 6b, the threshing waste straw does not continuously fall on the field scene, but is collected and dropped intermittently. It falls to the field scene. Moreover, it rolls on the waste straw mounting surface of the fall control shelf 34, and it falls after gathering, it falls in the collection state with little dispersion | variation on a field scene.
[0040]
The lid 13 of the waste straw shredding device 10 is closed, the transport guide rod 22 of the waste straw transport device 20 is switched to the extended state, and the operation switch 66 is switched off so that the drop restriction rod 33 is When the waste straw falling path 32 is stopped in an open state, the threshing waste straw discharged from the waste straw outlet 6b by the waste straw conveying device 20 continuously falls on the waste straw falling path 32 and this waste straw. It continuously falls on the farm scene from the fall path 32. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the flexible synthetic resin sheet 70 suspended from the free end portion of the lid body 13 covers the fall regulation shelf 34, and the threshing drainer is placed on the fall regulation shelf 34. It guides so that it may fall, without mounting on the waste straw mounting surface 34a.
When discharging the waste straw while driving the drop restriction rod 33, as shown in FIG. 7, the synthetic resin sheet 70 is pressed against the cutter case portion 11a by the drop restriction rod 33 driven in the closed state, The threshing waste straw comes to be placed on the waste straw mounting surface 34 a of the drop regulation shelf 34.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 6, an adjusting screw mechanism 56 is provided between the interlocking rod 51 and the joint 55 connecting the interlocking rod 51 to the output body 53 b of the crank device 53 and the operation member 37 b of the rotating support shaft 37. By operating the adjusting screw mechanism 56, the length between the joints 55 of the interlocking rod 51 changes, and the operating range of the drop restricting rod 33 approaches the cutter case part 11a or the cutter case part 11a. It can be adjusted away from.

That is, the horizontal support rod 71 is fixed over the pair of left and right support arms 35, and the upper end portion of the drop regulating rod 33 is fixed and supported by a bracket 71 a fixed to the support rod 71. Each of the pair of left and right drop restricting rods 33 is made of a strip-shaped spring material, and the free end portion 33a is formed on the case portion 11a facing upward and downward of the machine body, which is located at a higher level than the drop restricting shelf 34 of the cutter case 11. In addition to being in contact, the support rod 71 is supported by the support rod 71 in a state of being slightly elastically deformed for this contact.
Thereby, each fall regulation rod 33 is urged | biased by the elastic restoring force which the fall regulation rod 33 has in the state which closed the waste straw fall path 32, and it receives and acts on the threshing waste straw discharged | emitted from the waste straw outlet 6b. As a result, when the weight of the temporarily stopped waste wall exceeds the set weight determined by the urging force of the drop restricting rod 33, as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is elastically deformed, and the waste straw falling path 32 is opened, and the threshing waste straw once stopped is dropped toward the fall regulation shelf 34.
[0045]
[Another embodiment]
As in the second embodiment, when adopting and implementing the drop restricting rod 33 that is biased to the state where the waste wall dropping path 32 is closed, the drop restricting rod 33 is made of a non-spring material such as a sheet metal, and the support rod 71 The threshing machine body is pivotally supported by the threshing machine body or the upper end side of the fall regulation bowl 33 is pivotally supported by the support bowl 71, so that the fall regulation bowl 33 swings back and forth with respect to the threshing machine body. In this way, the discharge wall dropping path 32 is switched between a closed state and an open state, and the supporting rod 71 is supported by various biasing means such as a supporting rod 71 or a coil spring or a leaf spring attached to the drop regulating rod 33. It may be implemented by adopting a configuration in which the drop regulating rod 33 is biased to the closed state by closing the discharge wall dropping path 32 by rotating and biasing the drop regulating rod 33 directly. .
[0046]
The drop restricting rod 33 may be configured to be switched and driven by the electric motor 60 as in the above-described embodiment, or may be configured to be configured to be switched and driven by transmitting power from various power sources such as the waste straw conveying device 20. Good. Therefore, the electric motor 60, the waste straw conveying device, and the like are collectively referred to as a drive mechanism 60.
