Conveyed to threshing unit 3 and feed chain 10
And threshing while transporting the side of the threshing unit 3 in the rearward direction, extracting the crushed grain from the threshed by the sorting unit 4, transporting and storing it in the Glen tank 5, and discharging the straw through the straw processing unit 6. We discharge it outside.

A plurality of weeding boards 11 and a raising device 12 are arranged in the cutting section 8 in order from the front.
The cutting blade device 13 is disposed below the cutting blade.

A stalk sensor 20 is provided at the left end of the cutting section 8.
To detect the beginning of cutting and the end of cutting from the presence or absence of a planted cereal stem close to the culm sensor 20 and to provide the odometer 21 in the traveling device 1 to measure the traveling distance of the combine A. Like that.

The grain stalk sensor 20 and the odometer 21 are connected to a controller C having a numerical operation function as shown in FIG.
The display unit 22 provided in the operation unit 2 is connected to the output side of the controller C.

The display unit 22 includes a mileage display unit 23, a row number display unit 24, a next harvesting row number display unit 25, and a grain amount display unit 33.
And a transfer time display section 34 are provided.
24 indicates the number of rows in the field, the next harvesting row number display section 25 indicates the number of rows to be harvested in the next pass, and the grain quantity display section 33 indicates the current grain quantity in the Glen tank 5. The transfer time display unit 34 displays a message for notifying an optimum time for transferring the grains in the Glen tank 5 to a truck or the like.

At the time of harvesting rice, as shown in FIG. 2, first, in order to form a headland 30, crosscutting is performed along a ridge in a direction perpendicular to the planting streak. Although vertical cutting in parallel to the appendage is performed, at the time of side cutting, the start of cutting and the end of cutting are detected by the grain culm sensor 20, and the traveling distance of the combine A from the start of cutting to the end of cutting is measured, The number of lines in the field is calculated from the value obtained by dividing this travel distance by the interval of the planting lines (30 cm in this embodiment), and the number of lines is displayed on the line number display unit 24, and the following number is displayed. The number of rows to be harvested by the pass is displayed on the next harvested row number display section 25.

The number of strips to be harvested in the next pass is calculated as follows.

1. The quotient and the surplus are calculated by dividing the above-mentioned number by the number of reaping lines of the combine A (6 in this embodiment).

2. If the surplus is 0, the combine A is displayed on the next harvesting line number display section 25 until the harvesting operation of the field is completed.
Displays the number of reaping strips.

3. The number of vertical cutting passes for combine A is
Until the value obtained by adding the remainder and 1 to the quotient and subtracting the number of cutting lines of the combine A is displayed, the number of cutting lines of the combine A is displayed on the next number of cutting lines display section 25.

4. Then, when the number of passes of the vertical cutting reaches a value obtained by adding the remainder to the quotient and reducing the number of cutting lines of the combine A, a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of cutting lines of the combine A is displayed on the next cutting line number display section 25. I do.

As described above, the number of rows to be harvested in the next pass is displayed on the next number of harvested rows display section 25. By performing harvesting in accordance with this, the number of rows is reduced to the number of harvested rows of the combine A. Even if it is not evenly divisible, harvesting can be easily performed, and even if the number of cutting lines is reduced, and if the number of cutting lines is so large that it is difficult to estimate the number of cutting lines, the grain is reduced by one line. Since culms can be sent to the threshing unit 3,
Variations in the amount of cereal culm fed to the threshing unit 3 are minimized, and the corn culm in the cereal culm transport device 9 is dropped and the feed chain is reduced.
Wrapping of the culm coming out of 10 around the handling cylinder, clogging due to increased dust discharge due to threshing processing for a small amount of cereal stem,
Problems such as a decrease in sorting accuracy due to a decrease in threshing can be prevented beforehand, and effective threshing and sorting can be performed.

As shown by a path 31 in FIG.
After forming, first, pass on the side of one ridge, then,
Even when the harvesting work is performed while rotating the combine A counterclockwise from the outside toward the inside such as performing the pass on the other side of the ridge, the harvesting number display section 25 is displayed next time. The harvesting operation may be performed in accordance with the number of rows, and in this case, the number of harvesting rows is reduced at the end of the harvesting operation in the field, that is, at the time of the harvesting operation in the central part of the field.

The remainder A is added to the quotient to combine A
If the value obtained by subtracting the number of reapings is 0 or negative, the number of vegetation is reduced from the beginning, and vertical mowing is performed. In this case, however, the number of vegetation is small. If the number of rows in the field is displayed, the number of cutting rows can be easily allocated by mental arithmetic.

Further, a grain quantity sensor 32 for measuring the quantity of grains stored in the Glen tank 5 is provided, and the grain quantity sensor 32 is connected to the input side of the controller C. A grain amount display section 33 is connected to the output side to display the current amount of the grain stored in the Glen tank 5, and to calculate the current amount of the grain stored in the Glen tank 5 and the amount of the grain currently stored. The number of passes until the Glen tank 5 becomes full is calculated from the acceptable amount and the amount of grains sent in one pass, and the number of passes is calculated by the display unit. twenty two
Is displayed on the transfer time display section 34 provided in the control section.

The number of passes until the Glen tank 5 becomes full is calculated as follows.

1. When the formation of the headland 30 is completed, the grain storage amount at the same time is subtracted from the capacity of the Glen tank 5 to calculate the receivable amount.

2. The amount of grain storage at the end of the first pass is measured, and the amount of grain storage at the end of the formation of the headland 30 is subtracted from this value to calculate the amount of grain delivery for each pass.

3. The acceptable amount is divided by the amount of grain transferred per pass, and a value obtained by subtracting 1 from this value, excluding fractions, is defined as the number of passes until the Glen tank 5 becomes full. It is displayed on the display unit 34.

In this way, by displaying the number of passes until the Glen tank 5 is filled in the field, the overflow of the Glen tank 5 can be prevented, and the Glen head 30 can be prevented from overflowing at the optimal time. Tank 5
The grain inside can be transferred to a truck or the like.
