This invention relates to the combine provided with the torque limiter, and the structure of the power transmission of the cutting part in a combine.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a combine including a central stock transport mechanism, a right stock transport mechanism, and a left stock transport mechanism in a reaping section is known (see Patent Document 1). A central scraping mechanism is connected to the central stock transport mechanism, a right scraping mechanism is connected to the right stock transport mechanism, and a left scraping mechanism is connected to the left stock transport mechanism.

The right-side stock transport mechanism transports the stocks of the two cereals on the right side, and transports the cereals transported by the central stock transport mechanism and the left-hand stock transport mechanism. In the right side stock transport mechanism that transports the stocks of the cereals for two strips, first, the sprouts transported by the central stock transport mechanism are joined, and then the sprouts transported by the left stock transport mechanism Are merged. Each scraping mechanism scrapes the stock of the cereals backward, and delivers the squeezed cereal to each stock transporting mechanism.

Also, a torque limiter used for a scraping mechanism including a star wheel and a scraping belt is known (see Patent Document 2).

The torque limiter described in Patent Document 2 is a drive shaft that transmits power to a scraping conveyance device as a scraping mechanism, and is provided at the lower end portion of the shaft that faces in the vertical direction. The power of the engine as the drive unit is transmitted to the shaft via the transmission shaft, and the lower end portion of the shaft is connected to the front end of the transmission shaft inside the transmission case. A star wheel is attached to the middle part of the shaft, and a pulley for supporting the scraping belt is attached to the upper end part of the shaft.

However, according to Patent Document 2, the torque limiter is provided at the lower end of the shaft inside the transmission case, so that when the torque limiter is maintained, it is difficult for an operator to reach the torque limiter. The work is difficult. Also, even if you attempt to maintain the torque limiter after removing the shaft from the transmission case, the pulleys and star wheels attached to the top and middle parts of the shaft are either removed from the shaft or connected to them. It is necessary to disassemble the parts. Such work requires a great deal of time, and the weight of these parts connected to the shaft causes heavy labor on the operator.

Further, such a torque limiter is used to cut off transmission of power to the central stock transport mechanism among the central stock transport mechanism, the right stock transport mechanism, and the left stock transport mechanism. And maintenance is particularly difficult. That is, since the central stock transport mechanism and the central scraping mechanism are sandwiched between the left and right stock transport mechanisms and the scraping mechanism, the working space is particularly limited.

As shown in FIG. 5, the rear end of the longitudinal transmission shaft 42 is connected to the cutting input shaft 41 via a bevel gear. A front end of the vertical transmission shaft 42 is connected to an intermediate portion of the horizontal transmission shaft 43 via a bevel gear. The lateral transmission shaft 43 is accommodated in the lateral transmission case 13 (see FIG. 4). The axial center direction of the lateral transmission shaft 43 is substantially parallel to the left-right direction.

The power extracted from the middle part of the vertical transmission shaft 42 is transmitted to the drive sprocket Sv1 of the right side stock transport mechanism BR. The rotation of the drive sprocket Sv1 drives the transport chain H1 of the right stock transport mechanism BR between the drive sprocket Sv1 and the driven sprocket Sn1. Then, the right take-up wheel ST1 starts rotating around the rotation axis G1 to which the driven sprocket Sn1 is fixed. As a result, the right scratching mechanism of the first scratching mechanism Rk1 is driven and the left scratching mechanism is driven.

The power extracted from the left end of the horizontal transmission shaft 43 is transmitted to the drive sprocket Sv3 of the left stock transport mechanism BL. Due to the rotation of the drive sprocket Sv3, the transport chain H3 of the left stock transport mechanism BL is driven between the drive sprocket Sv3 and the driven sprocket Sn3. Then, the left stirring wheel ST6 starts rotating around the rotation axis G6 (see FIG. 6) to which the driven sprocket Sn3 is fixed. As a result, the left scratching mechanism of the third scraping mechanism Rk3 is driven and the right scratching mechanism is driven.

Further, the power extracted from the left end of the horizontal transmission shaft 43 is transmitted to the left tip transfer mechanism UL. The power extracted from the middle part of the vertical transmission shaft 42 is transmitted to the right-handed tip transport mechanism UR and the vertical transport device V. The power extracted from the midway part of the cutting input shaft 41 is transmitted to the auxiliary conveying device S and the tip conveying device T.

The power extracted from the intermediate portion of the horizontal transmission shaft 43 is transmitted to the central stock transport mechanism BC and the central tip transport mechanism UC via the output mechanism 50. The output mechanism 50 includes an intermediate shaft 38 coupled to the lateral transmission shaft 43 by meshing of the bevel gear 37a and the bevel gear 37b, an intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 coupled to the intermediate shaft 38, and an intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 extending from the intermediate shaft 38. And a transmission belt BL9 for transmitting power to the vehicle. The intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 has an axial length longer than that of the intermediate shaft 38. The middle conveyance drive shaft 48 accommodated in the middle conveyance drive case 20 (see FIG. 3) has an axis that faces obliquely upward in the front. Power is transmitted from the intermediate shaft 38 to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 by a transmission belt BL9 as an endless belt.

The intermediate shaft 38 is connected to the intermediate portion of the horizontal transmission shaft 43 by meshing of the bevel gear 37a and the bevel gear 37b. A drive pulley 39a for rotating the transmission belt BL9 is attached to the intermediate shaft 38 so as not to be relatively rotatable. The rotational force of the intermediate shaft 38 and the drive pulley 39a is transmitted to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 via the transmission belt BL9. The driven pulley Sn9 of the transmission belt BL9 is attached to the middle conveyance drive shaft 48 so as not to be relatively rotatable. The driven pulley Sn9 rotates together with the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 by the power transmitted from the intermediate shaft 38 via the transmission belt BL9.

As described above, the rotational speed is changed by the intermediate shaft 38 provided between the lateral transmission shaft 43 and the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48, and the power is transmitted from the lateral transmission shaft 43 to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48. The In addition, the intermediate shaft 38, the intermediate transport drive shaft 48, and the transmission belt BL9 constitute an output mechanism 50 that transmits power to the central stock transport mechanism BC and the second scavenging mechanism Rk2 as the central scrambling mechanism. ing.

The endless belt-like body is not limited to the transmission belt BL9, and may be a chain wound around a drive sprocket fixed to the intermediate shaft 38 and a driven sprocket fixed to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48.

Rotational force of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 is transmitted to the power transmission mechanism 30. Specifically, the drive sprocket Sp1 of the power transmission mechanism 30 is fixed to the middle portion of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 so as not to be relatively rotatable. The rotation of the middle conveyance drive shaft 48 and the drive sprocket Sp1 is transmitted to the driven sprocket Sp2 via the transmission chain H7. The transmission chain H7 is wound around the drive sprocket Sp1 and the driven sprocket Sp2.

In the cutting unit 3, the drive sprocket Sp1, the driven sprocket Sp2 and the transmission chain H7 constitute a power transmission mechanism 30 from the middle conveyance drive shaft 48 to the central stock transport mechanism BC and the left side take-in mechanism R2L. In the power transmission mechanism 30, power is transmitted to the driven sprocket Sp 2 via the drive sprocket Sp 1 that receives the rotational force of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 and the transmission chain H 7. The power transmission mechanism 30 is accommodated in the transmission case 22 (see FIG. 3).

The driven sprocket Sp2 of the power transmission mechanism 30 is fixed to the rotation shaft G4 (see FIG. 6) so as not to be relatively rotatable, and the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC and the large-diameter pulley Pl4 of the left side take-in mechanism R2L It is fixed to the rotation shaft G4 so as not to be relatively rotatable. Therefore, the rotary shaft G4, the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC, and the left side take-up mechanism R2L are transmitted by the power transmitted from the intermediate transport drive shaft 48 via the transmission chain H7 and the driven sprocket Sp2 in the power transmission mechanism 30. The large-diameter pulley Pl4 and the driven sprocket Sp2 of the power transmission mechanism 30 rotate together.

The transport chain H2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC is driven between the drive sprocket Sv2 and the driven sprocket Sn2 by the rotation of the drive sprocket Sv2. Then, due to the rotation of the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC and the large-diameter pulley Pl4 of the left-side take-in mechanism R2L, the left take-up wheel ST4 starts to rotate around the rotation axis G4 (see FIG. 6). As a result, the left scratching mechanism R2L of the second scraping mechanism Rk2 is driven. The right scratching mechanism R2R is driven by driving the left scraping mechanism R2L of the second scraping mechanism Rk2.

In the central stock transport mechanism BC, the drive sprocket Sv2 is located on the start end side of the transport forward path. On the other hand, the idle pulley R2a is positioned on the terminal end side of the transport forward path in the central stock transport mechanism BC, and faces the intermediate junction X1 (see FIG. 6). That is, power is transmitted from the middle transport drive shaft 48 to the transport start end portion of the central stock transport mechanism BC via the power transmission mechanism 30. The conveyance start end portion in the central stock transport mechanism BC here refers to the vicinity of the portion of the drive sprocket Sv2 that faces the right scratching mechanism R2R of the second scratching mechanism Rk2. On the other hand, the conveyance end portion in the central stock transport mechanism BC refers to the vicinity of the idle pulley R2a.

Meanwhile, tension is applied to the transport return path of the central stock transport mechanism BC by the tension pulley PT2. As shown in FIG. 8, a tension coil spring 70 connected to a tension arm 80 is used for tension by the tension pulley PT2. The tension arm 80 is fixed to the upper transport drive case 21 via a bracket 79 so as not to be relatively rotatable. A bracket 79 provided integrally with the tension arm 80 is fixed to the upper transport drive case 21 by welding. The upper transport drive case 21 is rotatably connected to the transmission case 22.

A clevis 78 with a rod is provided at one end 81 which is the spring receiving side of the tension arm 80. A pulley shaft SP of the tension pulley PT2 is fixed to the other end 82 which is the pulley operating side of the tension arm 80. The pulley shaft SP is supported on an inner ring of a radial bearing (not shown) provided on the tension pulley PT2 so that the tension pulley PT2 can freely rotate with respect to the pulley shaft SP. The tension pulley PT2 is located inside the wheel of the transport chain H2.

A rib 97 as a spring base is provided on the upper frame 90b of the central stock transport mechanism BC so as not to be relatively movable. A hook 71 at one end of the coil spring 70 is hooked in a hole formed in the rib 97 and supported by the upper frame 90b. A plate portion 77 is formed at the tip of the rod of the clevis 78, and a hook 72 at the other end of the coil spring 70 is hooked in a hole formed in the plate portion 77. Thus, the upper frame 90 b and the tension arm 80 support the coil spring 70.

The tension arm 80 can be rotated around the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 by the elastic force of the coil spring 70. When the coil spring 70 pulls the clevis 78 and the tension arm 80 in the compression direction, the tension arm 80 including the bracket 79 rotates around the middle conveyance drive shaft 48 together with the upper conveyance drive case 21. By this rotation, the tension pulley PT2 presses the transport chain H2 from the inner side to the outer side of the wheel of the transport chain H2, and tension is applied to the transport chain H2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission case 22 is located at the front upper side of the left stirring wheel ST4 and is located at the rear lower side of the central stock transport mechanism BC. As shown in FIG. 8, even if a part of the transport forward path of the transport chain H 2 is formed along the right side surface of the transmission case 22, the right side surface of the transmission case 22 is positioned to the right of the transport path. Not. In other words, the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 are configured such that the transmission case 22 does not interfere with the conveyance of the cereal, and the transmission case 22 is a conveyance path of the central stock transport mechanism BC. It is provided at a position that does not cross the outbound path.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the transmission case 22 is provided in parallel with the left stirring wheel ST4. Specifically, the rotation plane of the transmission chain H7 inside the transmission case 22 is parallel to the rotation plane of the left stirring wheel ST4. Further, the rotation plane of the transmission chain H7 is parallel to the rotation plane of the left scratching belt BL4 and the rotation plane of the conveyance chain H2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC, and is orthogonal to the rotation axis G4 and the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48. ing.

The transmission case 22 is formed of a metal such as a steel material. The transmission case 22 includes an upper case and a lower case. Thereby, the transmission case 22 includes the upper surface 22a and the lower surface 22b together with the left and right and front and rear side surfaces, and has a box shape. The transmission case 22 is supported by the cutting frame 10 including the support frame 85, and is supported by the cutting frame 10 including the lateral transmission case 13 via the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 and the intermediate conveyance drive case 20. That is, the upper conveyance drive case 21 including the middle conveyance drive shaft 48, the middle conveyance drive case 20, the transmission case 22, and the support frame 85 constitute a rigid body as one strong structural member.

And since the lower end part of the rotating shaft G4 is supported by the transmission case 22 in this rigid rigid body, the rotating shaft G4 can be rotated stably, and further, the left take-up belt BL4 and the left take-up wheel ST4 are stabilized. Can operate. Further, by receiving the stable operation of the left side scratching mechanism R2L including the left scratching belt BL4 and the left scratching wheel ST4, the right side scratching mechanism R2R can be stably operated. Further, with respect to the central stock transport mechanism BC, since the drive sprocket Sv2 supported by the rotation shaft G4 can be stably rotated, the rotation of the transport chain H2 is stabilized. Thus, according to the structure of the structural member including the transmission case 22, the second scraping mechanism Rk2 as the central scraping mechanism and the central stock transport mechanism BC can be stably operated.

The lower surface 22b of the transmission case 22 is parallel to the left stirring wheel ST4. The left stirring wheel ST4 is provided immediately below the lower surface 22b of the transmission case 22 so that the surface of the left stirring wheel ST4 is disposed along the lower surface 22b. That is, there is almost no gap between the left stirring wheel ST4 and the lower surface 22b of the transmission case 22, and the gap between the left stirring wheel ST4 and the lower surface 22b of the transmission case 22 is, for example, left scratching. It is smaller than the thickness of the insert ring ST4 and smaller than the thickness of the belt cover Bc4. Therefore, the lower surface 22b of the transmission case 22 can scrape off mud and the like adhering to the left stirring wheel ST4 by the rotation of the left stirring wheel ST4. That is, the transmission case 22 can fulfill the function as a scraper of the left stirring wheel ST4.
Further, the transmission case 22 has a guide function for conveying the cereals along the side surface of the transmission case 22 and prevents the bunches of cereals from overlapping in the central stock transport mechanism UC. Therefore, the conveyance performance of the cereals in the central stock transport mechanism UC can be stabilized.

The configuration of power transmission in the transmission case 22 is not limited to the configuration including the chain H7 and the sprockets Sp1 and Sp2, but a configuration in which shafts on which belts and pulleys, gears or splines are formed are connected, and spur gears are connected. Or the structure which transmits motive power by mesh | engagement of several different types of gears, or the structure using the combination of at least 2 of these may be sufficient.

On the other hand, the driven sprocket Sp2 of the power transmission mechanism 30 is attached so as not to be relatively rotatable below the portion of the rotary shaft G4 where the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC is attached. The driven sprocket Sp 2 is accommodated in the transmission case 22. A portion below the portion to which the driven sprocket Sp 2 is attached protrudes downward from the transmission case 22. Further, a left stirring wheel ST4 is attached to the lower end of the rotation shaft G4 so as not to be relatively rotatable. That is, the rotation shaft G4 supports the left scraping wheel ST4 so as not to be relatively rotatable below the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC.

The driven pulley Py1 of the central tip transport mechanism UC is supported by the lower frame 91 and the upper frame 92 so as to be relatively rotatable behind the drive pulley Pv1. Further, the pulley Py2 of the central tip transport mechanism UC is supported by the lower frame 91 and the upper frame 92 in a relatively rotatable manner in front of the drive pulley Pv1. The driven sprocket Sn2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC is supported by the lower frame 90a and the upper frame 90b so as to be relatively rotatable below the driven pulley Py1 of the central tip transport mechanism UC.

In the central tip transport mechanism UC, a rake belt BL8 with a protrusion is wound around the driving pulley Pv1, the driven pulley Py1, and the pulley Py2. Power is transmitted to the central tip transport mechanism UC from the middle transport drive shaft 48 via the drive pulley Pv1.

In the central tip transport mechanism UC, the drive pulley Pv1 constitutes a part of the transport return path and operates to pull the terminal end of the transport forward path. In this way, the operation of the drive pulley Pv1 prevents the take-up belt BL8 from being loosened, so that the central tip transport mechanism UC stably stabilizes the tip side of the cereal by the drive belt BL8 to the tip transport device T. Can be transported.

The left scraping mechanism R 2 L is supported by the cutting frame 10 including the intermediate conveyance drive case 20 and the support frame 85 via the transmission case 22. The forward extension frame 87 is provided between the transmission case 22 that supports the rotation shaft G4 and the belt cover Bc4, and is connected thereto.

The rotation shaft G4 is supported by the transmission case 22 so as to be relatively rotatable. Outer rings of

bearings

121 and 122 provided on the ceiling side and the bottom surface side of the transmission case 22 are supported by the transmission case 22. An inner ring of the bearing 121 and an inner ring of the bearing 122 are supported on the rotation shaft G4.

Thereby, the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 can rotate with respect to the middle conveyance drive shaft 48.

Simultaneously with the rotation of the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30, the left-side scratching mechanism R2L including the rotation shaft G4 rotates. As described above, the transmission case 22, the power transmission mechanism 30, and the left side scraping mechanism R2L including the belt cover Bc4 and the rotation shaft G4 can rotate integrally with the support frame 85. Further, as the rotation shaft G4 and the left side scraping mechanism R2L rotate, the drive sprocket Sv2 attached to the rotation shaft G4 rotates around the middle conveyance drive shaft 48, so that the central stock transport mechanism BC can also rotate.

The transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 can be rotated manually. For example, an operation lever (not shown) and the above-described locking mechanism are provided on the left side surface of the transmission case 22. When the operator operates the operation lever, the restriction on the rotation of the transmission case 22 by the lock mechanism is released. As a result, the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 shift to a state in which they can freely rotate with respect to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48.

Then, when the operator pushes and pulls the transmission case 22, the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 rotate. Further, due to the rotation of the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30, the left scratching mechanism R 2 L rotates around the middle conveyance drive shaft 48 as the rotation shaft G 4 moves. As described above, as the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 rotate around the middle conveyance drive shaft 48, the belt cover Bc4, the left stirring wheel ST4, the large diameter pulley Pl4, the small diameter pulley Ps4, and The left side picking mechanism R2L including the left picking belt BL4 can rotate with respect to the cutting frame 10 including the support frame 85 together with the forward extending frame 87.

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the combine 1 operates so as to scrape the cereal, the pitch circle P1 of the left stirring wheel ST4 is in contact with the pitch circle P2 of the right stirring wheel ST3. No gap is generated between the pitch circles P1 and P2 (that is, the gap Ga is zero). As a result, the right take-up wheel ST3 can be rotated by receiving the rotation of the left take-up wheel ST4.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), the right scratching mechanism R2R in the second scraping mechanism Rk2 is such that a predetermined gap Gb is generated between both pitch circles P1 and P2 by the rotation of the left scratching mechanism R2L. In contrast, the left side scraping mechanism R2L can be released. Further, the drive sprocket Sv2 of the central stock transport mechanism BC rotates together with the rotation shaft G4, whereby the distance between the transport start end of the transport chain H2 (see FIG. 6) and the right stock transport mechanism BR can be increased. Therefore, the grain straw jammed between the respective scraping mechanisms in the second scraping mechanism Rk2 can be easily removed.

Or you may decide to use the electric motor which is not shown in figure, the engine 9, etc. as motive power which rotates the transmission case 22, the power transmission mechanism 30, and the left side picking mechanism R2L.

For example, a drive shaft of a motor that rotates the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 is connected to the transmission case 22. Due to the rotation of the motor, the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 rotate with respect to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48.

In addition, about the central tip conveyance mechanism UC, the structure rotated with the central stock transport mechanism BC may be sufficient, and the structure which does not rotate with rotation of the central stock transport mechanism BC may be sufficient. For example, the lower end portion of the support pipe 23 is fixed to the upper frame 90b of the central stock transport mechanism BC via a lock mechanism (not shown). When the transmission case 22 and the power transmission mechanism 30 are rotated, the fixing of the lower end portion of the support pipe 23 to the upper frame 90b can be canceled by releasing the fixing by the lock mechanism. Thereby, apart from the rotation of the central stock transport mechanism BC, the central tip transport mechanism UC can remain in its original position.

In addition, the combine 1 is comprised so that the raising apparatus 31 can rotate. The pulling drive case 18 and the pulling case 61 rotate upward about the pulling lateral transmission case 17.

As for the rotation of the pulling drive case 18 and the pulling case 61, all six lines may be rotated. The pulling drive case 18 and the pulling case 61 at the left end, the pulling drive case 18 and the pulling case 61 at the right end, A configuration may be adopted in which the four strips excluding are rotated.

Alternatively, the pulling drive case 18 and the pulling case 61 may be rotated about a vertical axis provided at either the left end or the right end in the pulling device 31. Alternatively, the pulling device 31 may be provided with a double door opening configuration at any position between the pulling tine S1 and the pulling tine S6.

As the pulling device 31 rotates, the scraping device 34 is exposed on the front surface of the combine 1, so that the operator can eliminate clogging of cereal grains such as the lower transport device B and the scraping device 34 as described above.

Next, the torque limiter 140 provided on the intermediate shaft 38 of the output mechanism 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, power is transmitted from the vertical transmission shaft 42 accommodated in the vertical transmission case 12 to the horizontal transmission shaft 43 accommodated in the horizontal transmission case 13 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). As shown in FIG. 10, the lateral transmission case 13 includes a left case 13a and a right case 13b. A split pipe joint 113 is connected to the vertical transmission case 12. A left case 13a and a right case 13b are connected to the left and right sides of the split pipe joint 113, respectively. The bevel gear 37a and the bevel gear 37b (see FIG. 5) are accommodated in the split pipe joint 113.

A housing case 130 is attached to the upper surface of the split pipe joint 113 with a plurality of bolts. The housing case 130 includes a belt case 131 and a belt cover 132. The belt cover 132 covers the upper part of the belt case 131. The drive pulley 39a, the transmission belt BL9, and the driven pulley Sn9 (all shown in FIG. 5) are accommodated in a space surrounded by the belt case 131 and the belt cover 132.

As shown in FIG. 12, a shaft hole 138 through which the intermediate shaft 38 passes is formed in the bottom surface 137 of the belt case 131. A lower end portion 38 c of the intermediate shaft 38 is connected to the lateral transmission shaft 43 (see FIG. 5) inside the split pipe joint 113. A bevel gear 37b (see FIG. 5) attached to the intermediate portion of the lateral transmission shaft 43 is meshed with the bevel gear 37b attached to the lower end portion 38c so as not to be relatively rotatable. The intermediate shaft 38 is exposed inside the belt case 131 through the shaft hole 138. A pulley 39 with a boss including a drive pulley 39 a is attached to the outer periphery of the intermediate portion of the intermediate shaft 38.

The outer ring of the radial bearing 145 is supported in the shaft hole 138. A concave groove 146 is formed in the shaft hole 138, and the outer ring of the bearing 145 is fitted into the concave groove 146. A retaining ring 147 that restricts the downward movement of the bearing 145 is provided below the bearing 145. The inner ring of the bearing 145 is supported by the intermediate shaft 38. Therefore, the intermediate shaft 38 that receives power from the lateral transmission shaft 43 can freely rotate together with the bevel gear 37b with respect to the belt case 131.

As shown in FIG. 10, a cylindrical portion 134 constituting the lower end portion of the intermediate conveyance drive case 20 is formed on the upper surface of the belt cover 132 in the housing case 130. An intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 is accommodated inside the cylindrical portion 134 that extends obliquely upward and forward from the upper surface of the belt cover 132. A lower end portion of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 is disposed inside the belt case 131, and a driven pulley Sn9 (see FIG. 5) around which the transmission belt BL9 is wound is attached to the lower end portion so as not to be relatively rotatable.

The middle conveyance drive shaft 48 can freely rotate with respect to the housing case 130. A recess (not shown) for supporting an outer ring of a bearing (not shown) is formed on the bottom surface (not shown) of the belt case 131, and the inner ring of the bearing is supported by the lower end portion of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48. Further, a driven pulley Sn9 is provided above the bearing, and another bearing (not shown) is provided above the driven pulley Sn9. The inner ring of the upper bearing is supported in the middle part of the middle conveyance drive shaft 48, and a recess for supporting the outer ring of the bearing is formed on the ceiling surface (not shown) of the belt cover 132.

As shown in FIG. 11, the belt cover 132 has a shaft hole 136 formed therein. The shaft hole 136 penetrates from the ceiling surface inside the belt cover 132 to the upper surface 135. The shaft hole 136 and the cylindrical portion 134 are formed side by side in the belt cover 132. A pulley 39 with a boss protrudes from the shaft hole 136 above the belt cover 132 together with the intermediate shaft 38. Each of these protruding ends is covered with a top cover 133 (see FIG. 10). The top cover 133 is detachably attached to the upper surface 135 of the belt cover 132 with a plurality of bolts (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

A torque limiter 140 is provided at the protruding end of the intermediate shaft 38 protruding above the belt cover 132. More specifically, the projecting end portion of the intermediate shaft 38 is provided with a torque limiter 140 constituted by an upper end portion 39 d as a projecting end portion of the pulley 39 with boss and a shear pin 141. The shear pin 141, the projecting end of the intermediate shaft 38, and the projecting end of the pulley 39 with boss are covered with a top cover 133. That is, the top cover 133 includes a protruding end portion of the intermediate shaft 38 and an upper end of the pulley 39 with the boss protruding from the split pipe joint 113 obliquely upward in the front (specifically, obliquely upward in front of the housing case 130 from the split pipe joint 113). The portion 39d and the torque limiter 140 are covered.

A pulley 39 with a boss as a drive wheel with a boss having a substantially cylindrical shape is provided on the outer periphery of the intermediate shaft 38 so as to be able to rotate together with the intermediate shaft 38. As shown in FIG. 12, the boss-equipped pulley 39 has a shaft hole 39b through which the intermediate shaft 38 passes, and includes a disk-shaped drive pulley 39a. The pulley 39 with the boss is attached along the outer periphery of the intermediate shaft 38 so that the axis of the pulley 39 with the boss substantially coincides with the axis C38 of the intermediate shaft 38. The drive pulley 39a around which the transmission belt BL9 (see FIG. 5) is wound is formed integrally with the lower portion of the pulley 39 with the boss.

The inner ring of the radial bearing 142 is supported on the boss 39c above the portion where the drive pulley 39a is formed. The outer ring of the bearing 142 is supported by the belt cover 132 so as not to be relatively rotatable. That is, the pulley 39 with the boss is supported by the belt cover 132 so as to be relatively rotatable. A thrust bearing 143 is attached to the boss portion 39c above the bearing 142.

A pin hole 39e and a recess 39f are formed in the upper end 39d of the pulley 39 with boss. The pin hole 39e passes through two locations of the boss portion 39c through the shaft core of the pulley 39 with boss (that is, the shaft core C38 of the intermediate shaft 38). The concave portion 39f is formed by cutting so that the outer surface of the upper end portion 39d is recessed inward. The concave portion 39f is formed in a substantially circular shape along the outer periphery of the upper end portion 39d, and the pin hole 39e crosses the concave portion 39f perpendicular to the axis of the pulley 39 with boss.

The shaft hole 39b that penetrates the intermediate shaft 38 is formed from the upper end to the lower end of the pulley 39 with boss. The intermediate shaft 38 passes vertically through the pulley 39 with boss through the shaft hole 39b. The upper end of the intermediate shaft 38 is located above the upper end of the pulley 39 with boss. A pin hole 38 b is formed in the upper end portion 38 a as a protruding end portion of the intermediate shaft 38. The pin hole 38b is perpendicular to the axial direction of the intermediate shaft 38, passes through the shaft core C38, and passes through the intermediate shaft 38.

The torque limiter 140 is provided at the upper end 38 a of the intermediate shaft 38 by inserting the shear pin 141 into the pin hole 38 b of the intermediate shaft 38 and the pin hole 39 e of the pulley 39 with boss. The shear pin 141 passes through the upper end 39 d of the pulley 39 with boss and the upper end 38 a of the intermediate shaft 38. With such a configuration, the torque limiter 140 is provided on the intermediate shaft 38 of the output mechanism 50 (see FIG. 5) including the intermediate shaft 38, the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48, and the transmission belt BL9.

Further, by inserting the shear pin 141 into the pin hole 38b of the intermediate shaft 38 and the pin hole 39e of the pulley 39 with boss, the pulley 39 with boss can rotate together with the intermediate shaft 38. As the pulley 39 with boss and the intermediate shaft 38 rotate as a unit, power is transmitted from the lateral transmission shaft 43 to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 via the transmission belt BL9 as shown in FIG. Of the pulley 39 with boss through which the intermediate shaft 38 passes through the shaft hole 39b, the drive pulley 39a is housed in the housing case 130 together with the transmission belt BL9.

As shown in FIG. 12, in order to prevent the shear pin 141 from falling off, a retaining ring 144 is attached to the recess 39f of the pulley 39 with boss. As described below, when exchanging the shear pin 141 or the like, the shear pin 141 can be pulled out from the pin holes 38b and 39e after the retaining ring 144 is removed from the outer periphery of the pulley 39 with the boss. In FIG. 11, the illustration of the retaining ring 144 is omitted for the sake of convenience in order to illustrate the shear pin 141.

The operation of the torque limiter 140 is as follows. In the case where clogging of cereals occurs in the central stock transport mechanism BC or the second scraping mechanism Rk2 (both see FIG. 6), a predetermined amount is applied to the central stock transport mechanism BC or the second scraping mechanism Rk2. The above load is applied. In such a case, the rotation of the conveyance chain H2 (see FIG. 6) decreases, and the rotation of the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 (see FIG. 5) and the pulley 39 with bosses causes the horizontal transmission shaft 43 (see FIG. 5). This is slower than the rotation of the intermediate shaft 38 that receives power from the motor. That is, the rotation of the pulley 39 with the boss is restricted with respect to the input torque from the intermediate shaft 38. As a result, a shearing force is applied to the shear pin 141 that restricts relative rotation between the upper end portion 38 a of the intermediate shaft 38 and the upper end portion 39 d of the pulley 39 with boss. In addition, when a shear force greater than the load resistance is applied to the shear pin 141, the shear pin 141 is broken and the intermediate shaft 38 idles with respect to the pulley 39 with boss.

Rotation of the intermediate shaft 38 with respect to the pulley 39 with boss loses the rotational torque of the pulley 39 with boss and the transmission belt BL9, so that transmission of power to the intermediate conveyance drive shaft 48 is interrupted. In this way, the torque limiter 140 is configured so that when the central stock transport mechanism BC or the second scraping mechanism Rk2 is loaded with a predetermined amount or more, the central stock transport mechanism BC and the second scraping mechanism as the central scraping mechanism are used. The transmission of power to the insertion mechanism Rk2 (see FIG. 6) is interrupted.

In the cutting part 3 of the combine 1, the torque limiter 140 can be easily maintained including the replacement of the shear pin 141 by removing the top cover 133 from the upper surface 135 of the belt cover 132. As described above, the top cover 133 covers the upper end portion 38a as the protruding end portion of the intermediate shaft 38, the upper end portion 39d as the protruding end portion of the cylindrical rotating body, and the shear pin 141. When the top cover 133 is removed as shown in FIG. 11, the upper end 38 a (see FIG. 12) of the intermediate shaft 38 and the upper end 39 d of the pulley 39 with boss are exposed from the housing case 130. Further, a shear pin 141 passes through the pin holes 38b and 39e formed in the

upper end portions

38a and 39d. Then, by removing the retaining ring 144 fitted in the recess 39f of the pulley 39 with boss, the shear pin 141 can be easily pulled out from the pin holes 38b and 39e with the shear pin 141 exposed to the outside from the housing case 130. .

The torque limiter 140 provided on the intermediate shaft 38 is not limited to the configuration using the shear pin 141, and may be another known configuration used for the torque limiter, such as a clutch having an overrunning clutch mechanism. Good. The top cover 133 may be configured to cover such a torque limiter.

The configuration of the cutting unit 3 of the combine 1 of the present invention can be applied to the configuration of five-row cutting or seven-row cutting. Specifically, the cutting part for 5-row cutting can be applied to a configuration in which power is transmitted to one central scraping mechanism. On the other hand, with respect to the cut portion of the seven-row cutting, either one or both of the configurations of transmitting power to each of the scoring mechanisms connected to the two central stock transport mechanisms among the three central scoring mechanisms Can be applied.

The present invention can be used for a combine.
