  As described above, to the cutting unit 3 disposed in front of the traveling machine body 1, the vertical conveying device 30 inherited from the lower conveying devices 25 and 27 to the feed chain 6 and the tip side caused by the culm raising device 13 are conveyed. A harvesting device for a combine in which the left and right upper transport devices 28 and 29 are configured to be integrally rotatable up and down around the rear end portion thereof, and are a right upper transport device 29 (pilot seat side) and a left upper transport device. 28 (feed chain side) is connected by a suspension frame 74 configured in an inverted U shape with a pipe, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting power from the upper right transport device 29 to the upper left transport device 28 is provided in the pipe frame. It was. By configuring in this way, the upper left conveying device 28 can rotate integrally with the vertical conveying device 30 and the upper right conveying device 29, so that it is possible to cope with changes in crop culm length. Further, the upper right transport device 29 and the upper left transport device 28 can be integrally rotated.

  As described above, the suspension frame 74 includes the upward first pipe 71a protruding from the upper end of the pipe rising from the upper right transport device 29, and the substantially horizontal second pipe connected to the upper end of the first pipe 71a. 72a, a downwardly facing third pipe 73a connected to the tip of the second pipe 72a, and joints 87 and 88 connecting these pipes, are integrally formed, and drive shafts 71 and 72 are formed inside each pipe. A driving means for driving the upper left conveyance device 28 through 73 is provided. With this configuration, the drive means is protected by incorporating the drive means inside the suspension frame 74. In addition, the bevel gears 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, and 86 are arranged inside the joint to transmit power to the transmission shaft, thereby reducing costs and improving durability compared to using a flexible transmission shaft. .

  Further, the three pipes 71a, 72a, 73a are connected by two joints 87, 88 to form a suspension frame 74, and the first joint 87 is formed in a substantially “h” shape connecting the pipes at an obtuse angle. The second joint 88 is formed in a substantially V shape that connects the pipes at an acute angle, and an opening for inserting the transmission shaft 72 into the pipe 72a is formed at the bent portion of the second joint 88. With this configuration, it becomes easy to insert the drive shaft, the bevel gear, and the bearing into the U pipe. That is, with the drive shaft, the bevel gear, and the bearing assembled (structure), the gear-shaped first joint can be inserted through the openings on both sides to mesh the gears. One shaft mechanism can be inserted into the second joint, and the other can be inserted through the other opening to engage the bevel gear.

  The base side end of the suspension frame 74 is detachably fixed to the upper chain case 60 of the upper right transport device 29. With this configuration, the upper right transport device 29 and the upper left transport device 28 can be integrally rotated. In addition, the suspension frame and the like can be removed integrally to facilitate maintenance and the like.
