Definitions
- the disclosure relates to a blade rotor of a cutter bar of a mowing device, including a mowing disc, at least one mowing blade, at least one bearing pin mounted on the mowing disc for the pivoting support of the mowing blade, a spring plate arranged on a bottom side of the mowing disc for holding the mowing blade on the bearing pin, and at least one scraper for removing residue stuck on the cutter bar.
- Mowing devices are known and are used, among other things, in agriculture to cut stalk stock or stalk-like harvested produce and to lay it on the ground in a swath for pick-up, for example, by a baler.
- the mowing devices can be constructed as disc mowers and have multiple blade rotors that are arranged one next to the other on a so-called cutter bar.
- the blade rotors have rotating, oval-shaped mowing discs, on whose long ends, mowing blades are arranged so that they can pivot on the bearing pin.
- the mowing blades are held so that they can pivot on a bearing shaft constructed on the bearing pin between a spring plate and the mowing discs, wherein the spring plate is in spring-mounted engagement with one end of the bearing pin and this locks on the bearing pin for securing the mowing blade.
- the bearing pin is typically supported in a mounting hole constructed on the mowing disc and is guided on a side of the mowing disc facing the spring plate through the mounting hole and screwed to a side of the mowing disc facing away from the spring plate with a screw nut. If a mowing blade becomes damaged or worn, the spring plate can be detached from the bearing pin end with a clamping tool, which creates a limited installation space that makes possible the quick removal of the mowing blade from the bearing shaft.
- precautionary measures include, for example, so-called scrapers or skimmers that are arranged between the cutter bar and mowing disc and rotate together with the mowing disc over the surface of the cutter bar.

- scrapers or skimmers are subject to a certain amount of wear and thus must be replaced after a given amount of time. Until then, the scrapers or skimmers undergo continuous wear and tear such that the cleaning effect also decreases continuously.
- Such scrapers or skimmers are constructed as connecting pieces that extend from the mowing disc to the surface of the cutter bar and are, for example, welded or connected non-detachably in some other way, in particular, to the mowing disc.

In this way, the same scraper can be readjusted and reused even after a certain amount of wear and tear.
- an independent direction of rotation of the mowing disc on the cutter bar is also given, because the scraper can be arranged or oriented according to the desired direction of rotation.
- one and the same mowing disc can be used both with right-hand and also left-hand rotation.
- scrapers connected to the mowing disc a distinction must always be made between right-hand and left-hand rotating mowing discs with scrapers arranged and oriented accordingly on the mowing disc.

Description
- This patent application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/214,626, titled Blade Rotor of a Cutter Bar for a Mowing Device, filed Jul. 20, 2016, which claims the benefit of and priority to German patent application no. 102015214051.2, filed on Jul. 24, 2015, which are all hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The disclosure relates to a blade rotor of a cutter bar of a mowing device, including a mowing disc, at least one mowing blade, at least one bearing pin mounted on the mowing disc for the pivoting support of the mowing blade, a spring plate arranged on a bottom side of the mowing disc for holding the mowing blade on the bearing pin, and at least one scraper for removing residue stuck on the cutter bar.
- Mowing devices are known and are used, among other things, in agriculture to cut stalk stock or stalk-like harvested produce and to lay it on the ground in a swath for pick-up, for example, by a baler. The mowing devices can be constructed as disc mowers and have multiple blade rotors that are arranged one next to the other on a so-called cutter bar. The blade rotors have rotating, oval-shaped mowing discs, on whose long ends, mowing blades are arranged so that they can pivot on the bearing pin. The mowing blades are held so that they can pivot on a bearing shaft constructed on the bearing pin between a spring plate and the mowing discs, wherein the spring plate is in spring-mounted engagement with one end of the bearing pin and this locks on the bearing pin for securing the mowing blade. The bearing pin is typically supported in a mounting hole constructed on the mowing disc and is guided on a side of the mowing disc facing the spring plate through the mounting hole and screwed to a side of the mowing disc facing away from the spring plate with a screw nut. If a mowing blade becomes damaged or worn, the spring plate can be detached from the bearing pin end with a clamping tool, which creates a limited installation space that makes possible the quick removal of the mowing blade from the bearing shaft. While mowing harvested produce, residue constantly accumulates underneath the mowing disc and sticks to the surface of the cutter bar. This can negatively influence the rotational motion of the mowing discs, the discharge of cut produce, and the cutting quality of the mowing blades, so that precautionary measures must be taken to prevent this build-up. Such precautionary measures include, for example, so-called scrapers or skimmers that are arranged between the cutter bar and mowing disc and rotate together with the mowing disc over the surface of the cutter bar. In this way, mowed produce or other residue building up on the surface of the cutter bar is scraped or stripped away from the surface of the cutter bar and the cutter bar is kept clean or is cleared. It is unavoidable that such scrapers or skimmers are subject to a certain amount of wear and thus must be replaced after a given amount of time. Until then, the scrapers or skimmers undergo continuous wear and tear such that the cleaning effect also decreases continuously. Such scrapers or skimmers are constructed as connecting pieces that extend from the mowing disc to the surface of the cutter bar and are, for example, welded or connected non-detachably in some other way, in particular, to the mowing disc. Replacing the scraper is therefore usually complicated and intensive in terms of costs and time and cannot be performed independent of the mowing disc, so that the material selection is also restricted. Furthermore, an adjustment or calibration or even the use of different scrapers for different types or conditions of harvested produce is also usually not possible without replacing the mowing discs as a whole.
- The task that forms the basis of the disclosure is to disclose a blade rotor of the type mentioned above by means of which the problems mentioned above are solved.
- The task is achieved according to the disclosure by the teaching of claim 1. Other advantageous constructions and developments of the disclosure emerge from the dependent claims.
- A blade rotor of the type named above is disclosed, wherein the scraper is arranged between the spring plate and the bottom side of the mowing disc and is detachably mounted on the mowing disc between the bearing pin and an axis of rotation of the mowing disc. The scraper thus can be detached and replaced independent of the mowing disc without having to remove or replace the mowing disc itself. Furthermore, through the arrangement of the scraper between the mowing disc and the spring plate, a simple pre-adjustment is given, so that the scraper is pressed by the spring plate against the bottom side of the mowing disc and is brought virtually into a predetermined seating, so that, in particular, the orientation of the scraper and the correct seating are also produced. The ability to detach the scraper independently from the mowing disc makes possible, on one hand, quick maintenance and installation work and avoids, on the other hand, having to replace the entire mowing disc. Furthermore, it is possible to adapt the height of the scraper in a simple way by placing, for example, a shim or other type of spacer between the mowing disc and scraper. In this way, the same scraper can be readjusted and reused even after a certain amount of wear and tear. Through the individual arrangement of the scraper on the mowing disc, an independent direction of rotation of the mowing disc on the cutter bar is also given, because the scraper can be arranged or oriented according to the desired direction of rotation. Thus, one and the same mowing disc can be used both with right-hand and also left-hand rotation. For scrapers connected to the mowing disc, a distinction must always be made between right-hand and left-hand rotating mowing discs with scrapers arranged and oriented accordingly on the mowing disc. Finally, the material can also be selected independent of the mowing disc, because, for example, a welded connection and a corresponding suitability for this welded connection can be eliminated, so that depending on the selection, highly wear-resistant material or even especially economical material can be used for the scraper, without having to consider suitability for welding.
- The scraper has a fastening plate and a scraper finger extending from there essentially radial to the axis of rotation of the mowing disc (vertical axis) and parallel to the surface of the cutter bar with a scraper edge. The scraper finger is oriented so that it traverses or describes a circular ring-shaped surface with its scraper edge on the surface of the mowing disc and frees this surface of residue or harvested produce stuck to this surface. The fastening plate and the scraper finger can have a one-piece construction, for example, as a monocast part or also as a shaped or forged part. The scraper could also have a two-piece construction, so that the fastening plate and the scraper finger can have different materials with different material properties (deformability, material hardness, wear strength, etc.). For example, the fastening plate can be made from economical metal or even plastic, and the part of the scraper subjected to wear, namely the scraper finger, can be made from a wear-resistant material, for example, from hardened metal, and can be pressed into the plastic or in some other way connected to the plastic. It is also conceivable that the scraper finger can be screwed to the fastening plate, so that if the scraper has wear, only the scraper finger must be replaced. In connection with a two-piece construction of the scraper, it is also conceivable to produce scraper fingers of different geometries and shapes, in particular with constructions that are different in height and length, so that, depending on the application requirements, scraper fingers with optional heights (height=axial extent of the scraper finger in the vertical direction to the cutter bar) and lengths (length=radial extent in the plane of rotation of the mowing disc) can be screwed to the fastening plate.
- The radial extent of the scraper finger is in the plane of rotation of the mowing disc, wherein the radial direction of the scraper finger is at an angle offset relative to the mowing blade (measured on the direction of the extent of the mowing blade with a rotating mowing disc). Depending on the direction of rotation of the mowing disc, the angle relative to the mowing blade is arranged to the left or the right with respect to the mowing blade.
- The scraper can be mounted by means of a threaded connection that is accessible from the top side of the mowing disc, wherein at least one threaded bolt is provided that extends through a passage hole formed on the mowing disc and can be brought into connection with the fastening plate of the scraper. Thus, for example, two or more threaded bolts can be provided that extend through corresponding passage holes on the mowing disc and project into the fastening plate arranged under the mowing disc and are turned in corresponding screw threads formed there or are connected with screw nuts arranged on the fastening plate. It is also conceivable to provide a plug-in connection instead of a threaded connection, for example, with a click-in or latching connection.
- Pockets that are used to form an attachment fit for a clamping tool that can be attached for changing the mowing blade are provided on the fastening plate for both sides of the beating pin.
- Furthermore, a clamping tool for replacing a mowing blade can be provided. The clamping tool is formed, for example, in the form of a lever arm with fork head and has two fork legs that are spaced apart from each other and can be placed or pushed between the mowing disc and spring plate. Simultaneously, it can be brought into engagement in this way with the pockets of the scraper. The fork legs of the lever arm are arranged at a distance to each other that is adapted to the pockets formed on the fastening plate. Now if the clamping tool is attached, that is, if the fork legs are each pushed on one side of the mowing blade between the mowing disc and the spring plate, then the pockets are used, on one hand, as a stop for the fork leg ends and, on the other hand, as a lateral guide of the fork legs against lateral slippage. The fork legs are bent further upward in the vertical direction (with respect to a horizontally oriented lever arm) such that for fork legs contacting the spring plate, by moving the lever arm downward, the fork leg ends are pressed upward against the bottom side of the mowing disc and simultaneously a fork leg contact surface is moved in the direction of the spring plate. In this way, the distance between the mowing disc and spring plate is increased, so that the mowing blade is released from the bearing pin or from the spring plate.
- The construction of a blade rotor shown above is suitable, in particular, for use in mowing devices with blade rotors in the form of mowing discs, mowing plates, or also mowing drums that can be constructed with or without conditioning units.
- With reference to the drawing that shows an embodiment of the disclosure, the disclosure and additional advantages and advantageous developments and constructions of the disclosure will be described and explained in more detail below.

FIG. 7 , a perspective side view of a part of the cutter bar with blade rotors fromFIG. 2 and a mounted clamping tool for changing the mowing blade. - The agricultural vehicle 10 shown in
FIG. 1 is a self-propelled mowing machine with mowingdevices 12 in the form of afront mowing tool 14 and siderear mowing tools 16. The vehicle 10 constructed here as a self-propelled unit, however, is used only as an example and could also be constructed as an agricultural tractor and could be equipped with mowingdevices 12 constructed accordingly as attachments or trailing units. - As shown in more detail in
FIGS. 2 to 4 , amowing device 12 includes acutter bar 18 withmultiple blade rotors 20 mounted on this cutter bar and driven to rotate (only one is shown here). - The
blade rotor 20 includes amowing disc 22 withmowing blades 24 mounted on this disc so that they can pivot. Themowing disc 22 has an oval shape in this embodiment, wherein themowing blades 24 are arranged on the long ends of the oval. Theblade rotor 20 constructed in this embodiment with amowing disc 22 could also be constructed in a known way with a drum or plate shape (cutting drum, cutting plate). It should be noted that, inFIGS. 2 to 4 , the upward pointing side of themowing disc 22 is the side on themowing device 12 pointing away from the ground to be worked. It is also a side of themowing disc 22 accessible to the operator for installation purposes. In the description below, this side is designated as the top side of themowing disc 22 and the opposite side of themowing disc 22 is designated as the bottom side. - The
mowing blades 24 are suspended or supported on themowing discs 22 so that they can pivot by means of a mountinghole 26 constructed on themowing disc 22 and abeating pin 28 attached thereto. The mountinghole 26 is formed on awear protection device 30 constructed on themowing disc 22 for protecting thebearing pin 28 or for protecting the mountinghole 26 and for mounting the bearingpin 28 on the mowing disc. - For holding and quickly installing a
mowing blade 24, on the bottom side of themowing disc 22 there is aspring plate 32 that extends starting from the middle of themowing disc 22 to the ends of themowing disc 22. At the end areas of thespring plate 32 there is a holdinghole 34 that is in engagement with the bearingpin 28 such that oneend 36 of the bearingpin 28 is held or clamped in the holdinghole 34. - The bearing
pin 28 includes a threadedshaft 38 and a holdingshaft 40 adjacent to this threaded shaft. With ascrew nut 42, the bearingpin 28 is mounted on its threadedshaft 38 on the mounting hole. Furthermore, the bearingpin 28 includes a bearingshaft 44 adjacent to the holdingshaft 40 for themowing blade 24. The diameter at theend 36 of the bearingpin 28 is dimensioned such that theend 36 can be introduced into the holdinghole 34. The diameter of the holdinghole 34 on thespring plate 32 is dimensioned such that the spring plate at the edge of the holdinghole 34 can come into contact with a section at theend 36 of the bearing pin. - The
mowing blade 24 has, on an end opposite amowing blade edge 54, a bearinghole 56 whose diameter is dimensioned such that it can be guided over the bearingshaft 44 of the bearingpin 28. - As is to be seen in
FIGS. 3 and 4 , thewear protection device 30 has aU-shaped collar 58 with acollar shaft 60 that projects beyond thescrew nut 42 and encloses this screw nut for the most part, wherein theU-shaped collar 58 is open on one side. On the top side of themowing disc 22 there is, in the area of the mountinghole 26, apocket 62 surrounding the mountinghole 26. - Furthermore, a holding
bead 66 surrounding the holdinghole 34 and extending in the direction of themowing blade 24 or themowing disc 22 is formed on thespring plate 32. The holdingbead 66 is formed such that themowing blade 24 can form a contact on its bottom side on an edge area surrounding the bearinghole 56 on the holdingbead 66, so that themowing blade 24 is held at the height of the bearingshaft 44. - According to all of these arrangements, an installation of the bearing
pin 28 on themowing disc 22 for the pivoting support of themowing blade 24 is realized as follows: the bearingpin 28 is guided, with its threadedarea 38 at the front, out from the bottom side of themowing disc 22 through the mountinghole 26 and fixed by means of thescrew nut 42. Theend 36 of the bearingpin 36 is moved into the holdinghole 34 of thespring plate 32, wherein themowing blade 24 has already been guided onto the bearingshaft 44. When the bearingpin 28 is mounted, this now projects into the holdinghole 34 of thespring plate 32, whereby theend 36 of the bearingpin 28 is blocked and the mowing blade is enclosed between thespring plate 32 and holdingshaft 40. The bearingpin 28 is now mounted on themowing disc 22 such that the bearingshaft 44 extends, starting from the mountinghole 26, in the direction of the bottom side of themowing disc 22 and projects with itsend 36 into the holdinghole 34 of thespring plate 32. Themowing blade 24 is here held by the holdingbead 66 on thespring plate 32 at the height of the bearingshaft 44. When theblade rotor 20 is started up, themowing blade 24 can move unimpaired into the complete bearing seat due to the resulting centrifugal forces and can pivot about the bearingshaft 44. A pivoting support of themowing blade 24 on the bearingshaft 44 is used to allow themowing blade 24 to perform a certain amount of evasive maneuvers during mowing work if it strikes an obstacle, for example, a stone. - The
cutter bar 18 is further constructed with arotor flange 68 on which thespring plate 32 and themowing disc 22 can be mounted, wherein threadedholes 70 are formed on therotor flange 68 and corresponding mountingholes spring plate 32 andmowing disc 22. By means of the threadedbolt 76, themowing disc 22 and thespring plate 32 are mounted on therotor flange 68, wherein thespring plate 32 is clamped between therotor flange 68 and themowing disc 22. Thespring plate 32 is here formed and constructed such that free spring plate ends 78 extend toward the long ends of the oval of themowing disc 22, wherein themowing blade 24 is between the spring plate ends 78 and the bottom side of themowing disc 22 and the spring plate ends 78 exert a spring force acting in the direction of the bottom side of themowing disc 22. - Between the free spring plate ends 78 and the
mowing disc 22 there is, on both long ends of the oval of themowing disc 22, ascraper 80 that includes afastening plate 82 and ascraper finger 83. Thescraper 80 is shown in detail inFIGS. 5 and 6 . Thefastening plate 82 has mountingholes 84 that correspond to mountingholes 86 arranged on themowing disc 22, wherein thefastening plate 82 is mounted on themowing disc 22 between the bearingpin 28 and an axis ofrotation 88 of themowing disc 22 by means ofscrews 90 and screw nuts (not shown). Thescraper 80 is constructed such that, for thescraper 80 mounted on themowing disc 22, thescraper finger 83 is formed by an elongated connecting piece that extends along aspring plate end 78 in its longitudinal direction from thefastening plate 82, essentially parallel to the plane of extent of thefastening plate 82 in the direction of the outside of themowing disc 22, and projects past the edge of the long end of the oval of themowing disc 22. Furthermore, thescraper finger 83 extends, starting from abottom side 92 of thefastening plate 82, in the direction of atop side 94 of thecutter bar 18, so that, on thescraper finger 83 directly above thecutter bar 18, a scrapingedge 96 is formed that defines, when themowing disc 22 rotates, a circular ring surface projected onto thetop side 96 of thecutter bar 18. A radial extent of thescraper finger 83 is in the plane of rotation of themowing disc 22, radial to the axis ofrotation 88, wherein the radial direction of the scraper finger is at anangle 97 offset with respect to the mowing blade 24 (measured in the direction of extent of themowing blade 24 for a rotating mowing disc 22). According to the direction of rotation of themowing disc 22, theangle 97 is arranged relative to themowing blade 24 to the left or right side with respect to themowing blade 24. - On a
top side 98 of thefastening plate 82 there arebulges 100 that extend, in the mounted state of thescraper 80, laterally along a bulge formed on the bottom side of the mowing disc 22 (a bulge extending in the direction of thespring plate 32; not shown) and form an adaptation for thescraper 80. - On an
end 102 of thefastening plate 80 facing the bearingpin 28 there is acurved pocket 104 extending around the bearingpin 28, with asection 106 adjacent to each of the curve ends 105. Thesections 106 in connection with the curve ends 105 act as an attachment fit for aclamping tool 108 that can be attached for changing themowing blade 22, which can be seen inFIG. 7 . - The
clamping tool 108 has alever arm 110 or handle with afork head 112, wherein two parallel, spaced-apart forklegs 114 are formed on thefork head 112, and these legs can be placed or pushed between themowing disc 22 andspring plate 32. Simultaneously, theclamping tool 108 can be brought into engagement with thepockets 106 of the scraper. Thefork legs 114 of thelever arm 110 are arranged at a distance to each other just like thepockets 106 constructed on thefastening plate 82 or also like the curve ends 105 of thecurved pocket 104 are spaced apart from each other. Now if theclamping tool 108 is mounted, that is, if thefork legs 114 are each pushed on one side of themowing blade 24 between themowing disc 22 and thespring plate 32, then thepockets 106 can be used, on one hand, as a stop for the fork leg ends 116, and, on the other hand, in connection with the curve ends 105 of thecurved pocket 106 as a lateral guide of thefork legs 114 against lateral slippage. - The
fork legs 114 are constructed with a curved shape with respect to a horizontally orientedlever arm 110 with fork leg ends 116 pointing essentially in the vertical direction, so that, when theclamping tool 108 is mounted between themowing disc 22 and thespring plate 32 of theblade rotor 20 and brought into engagement with thepockets 106, a downward movement of thelever arm 110 presses the fork leg ends 118 against the bottom side of themowing disc 22, and thefork legs 114 simultaneously press thespring plate 32 downward. Thefork legs 114 are, in other words, bent upward with respect to a horizontally orientedlever arm 110, so that when theclamping tool 108 is mounted and thefork legs 114 contact thespring plate 32, as shown inFIG. 7 , moving thelever arm 110 down presses the fork leg ends 116 against the bottom side of themowing disc 22 and simultaneously moves (levers) a forkleg contact surface 118 in the direction of thespring plate 32. In this way, the distance between themowing disc 22 andspring plate 32 is increased until themowing blade 24 is released from the bearingpin 28 or from the holdinghole 34 constructed on thespring plate 32 and can be replaced.
