[Prior art]
In this type of combine, the transmission of power to the pulling device employs a structure as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-177814.
In this conventional structure, a countershaft facing left and right to which power from an engine mounted on the traveling machine body is transmitted, a trimming frame extending forward and downward from the countershaft, an internal main transmission shaft, A left and right first transmission shaft connected to the front portion of the shaft, and a second transmission shaft erected from one side end of the first transmission shaft in the left-right direction toward the upper portion of the pulling device on the one side end side A left-right power distribution shaft constructed to transmit power from the upper part of the second transmission shaft to each pulling device on the left and right other end side, and from the power distribution shaft to the upper part of each pulling device This is configured to be performed by a plurality of hanging shafts that are suspended and bevel gears that transmit and connect them.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, when the power distribution shaft spans the upper part of each pulling device, when the power distribution shaft is raised and hidden so as to be hidden behind the device, the pulling device The tip side of the planted culm caused by the hook is caught by a transmission case that surrounds the power distribution shaft, and conveyance trouble such as conveyance failure and clogging due to conveyance delay or entanglement on the tip side easily occurs.
For this reason, in the above prior art, the power distribution shaft is raised and disposed at a position sufficiently higher than the upper end of the apparatus in order to avoid the above-mentioned conveyance trouble. If the height is set high, there are the following problems.
That is, since the transmission case that surrounds the power distribution shaft, the hanging shaft, etc. is greatly exposed and looks bad, it becomes necessary to provide a decorative cover for hiding them. In addition, the transmission case and the decorative cover raise the visibility from the control section to the position immediately before the device, thereby making it difficult to perform the alignment work for correctly positioning the combine with the planted culm to be cut. In addition, the power distribution shaft, the drooping shaft, the transmission case that surrounds them, and the like are disposed on the upper portion, so that the position of the center of gravity increases and the weight balance of the airframe deteriorates.
[0004]
In order to avoid such inconvenience, the power distribution shaft over the upper part of each raising device is eliminated, and the power for each raising device is individually transmitted from the lower side to each raising device. Although it is not unthinkable to configure the transmission separately through the shaft, this configuration causes the following new problem.
That is, at the upper end side of each pulling device, the culm passing path between adjacent pulling devices is opened, so that the pulling culm passes smoothly without being interrupted by the power distribution shaft or the like. On the other hand, the upper end of each pulling device has no support to support it, and the pulling device located at both the left and right ends, There was a risk of deformation due to the weed resistance when weeding the straw.
Also, in the pulling device near the driving part, the muddy water, etc. that is swung around the end of the transport path and is pulled into the case is moved in the direction of the nail. Then, there is a possibility that the arm may be raised and scattered from the tip of the claw and may fly to the control unit side.
[0005]
The present invention eliminates the upper power distribution shaft over each pulling device in a combine equipped with three or more pulling devices, and transmits external power to the pulling devices at both the left and right ends. Its purpose is to prevent muddy water from splashing to the control section side.

【The invention's effect】
According to invention of Claim 1, there exists the following effect.
[I]
Since the upper parts of the left and right vertical transmission cases are connected by an upper connecting member that does not have an interior space for the power distributing means to each pulling device, the upper connecting member itself includes power distributing means. It is possible to configure the apparatus with a small size that simply performs intensity compensation without requiring a space for interior decoration. Therefore, there is no need to provide a power distribution shaft and its related structure that are hung over the upper part of each pulling device, a transmission case and a decorative cover that surround them, and the center of gravity of the aircraft increases. The strength of the lifting device at the left and right ends is ensured while avoiding the visibility from the control unit immediately before the lifting device, and the effect of the pressure of the herb body that performs weeding with the uncut stem culm The required strength of the lifting device at both the left and right ends can be ensured against the force.
[B]
Since the upper surface portion of the upper connecting member is arranged so as to intersect with the extended surface of the claw rotation surface at the end of the raising stroke of the raising and lowering claw provided in the raising device, at the raising end There is an advantage that it is possible to avoid the muddy water that has been raised and adhered to the claw from being scattered to the control section side as the claw is raised.
