Description

Combine

The present invention relates to a combine that harvests a grain by threshing the harvested culm with a threshing device while harvesting an uncut grain culm in a field by the reaping device.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a combine (work vehicle) as a farm working machine for a farm includes a traveling machine body equipped with an engine, and a pair of left and right traveling crawlers (traveling units) are mounted on the traveling machine body to drive a pair of left and right traveling crawlers While controlling and moving the field, etc., the stock of uncut cereal planted in the field is cut by the cutting blade device, the cereal is transferred to the threshing device by the cereal transfer device, and the cereal is transferred by the threshing device. It is configured to thresh the straw and collect the grain.

In the conventional combine, a pre-cleaner for introducing fresh air into the engine is provided above the fuselage, and a tail pipe for discharging exhaust gas from the engine is provided below the fuselage (patent) Reference 1). However, when an exhaust device including a tail pipe is provided below the fuselage, mud from the field is applied to the vehicle during travel, which not only lowers the exhaust resistance, but also may cause ignition due to the ingress of sawdust, etc. There is. Therefore, like the pre-cleaner, a combine has been proposed in which a tail pipe is disposed above the fuselage (see Patent Document 2).

In recent years, for the purpose of environmental purification, a combine provided with an exhaust gas purification device for purifying exhaust gas from an engine has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-132186 JP 2014-042477 A

Also, since the combine is equipped with various devices such as a reaping device and a threshing device, an engine room is formed below the operation unit on the right side of the reaping device, and the engine is mounted in the engine room. In recent years, the size of the engine room is often limited due to the demand for a compact and lightweight combine (the engine mounting space is often narrow). In the engine room with many restrictions, not only the engine but also various parts such as an air cleaner and a radiator are arranged.

On the other hand, when the exhaust gas purification device is provided instead of the silencer provided in the combine in Patent Literature 2, as in the combine in Patent Literature 1, the exhaust gas purification device is heavy and has a capacity compared to the silencer. Also grows. Therefore, when an engine equipped with an exhaust gas purification device is installed in a combine, not only the arrangement of other parts in the engine room is affected by the arrangement position of the exhaust gas purification device, but also the length of the intake and exhaust paths. Incurs scaling.

In addition, if the precleaner and tail pipe are fixed above the threshing device, it will be affected by the installation position of the grain discharge conveyor (discharge auger) and the cereal conveyor, so the precleaner and tail pipe are located at the rear and the exhaust The route and the intake route become longer. On the other hand, when the exhaust path and the intake path are shortened, exhaust heat from the engine and the exhaust path may affect the driver's seat. In particular, when an exhaust gas purifying device that performs regeneration processing at a high temperature is mounted as in the combine in Patent Document 1, not only the exhaust heat of the exhaust path has a thermal effect on the intake path and the driver's seat, but also from the engine room. There are many thermal effects caused by exhaust heat.

The present invention has a technical problem to provide an improved combine by examining these current conditions.

The invention of the present application includes a harvesting device that harvests unharvested grain straw in a field, a threshing device that threshs the harvested grain straw harvested by the harvesting device, a traveling machine body that mounts the harvesting device and the threshing device, and the traveling machine body In a combine comprising an engine installed in the upper engine room and an operating part arranged above the engine room, the reaping device comprises a feeder house communicated with a front port of the threshing device, and the engine A hollow portion having an exhaust gas purification device for purifying exhaust gas, wherein an operation operation portion provided in the operation portion is disposed adjacent to the feeder house and communicates from the engine room toward the feeder house May be provided on the lower side of the operation unit, and a part of the cavity may be opened above the feeder house. The reaping device is configured to be adjustable up and down, and during the reaping operation in a farm field, the hollow portion has a wide opening above the feeder house.

In the above-described combine, the driving operation unit includes an operation tool disposed on an upper surface, and has a partition plate having an L shape in side view covering the upper and front sides of the cavity, and the upper and front portions of the partition plate A link mechanism connected to the operation tool may be provided in the space, the partition plate may protrude toward the feeder house, and a heat insulating material may be attached to a surface covering the cavity.

In the above-mentioned combine, the exhaust gas inlet side of the exhaust gas purification device is disposed so as to protrude from the operation part to the feeder house side, and the front and upper surfaces of the exhaust gas purification device are covered with the partition plate It is good.

In the above combine, the partition plate includes a bottom plate that covers the upper portion of the cavity portion and a back plate that covers the front portion of the cavity portion, and the bottom plate is inclined backward toward the reaping device and at the same time rearward. It is good also as what is provided so that it may skew toward the upper side toward.

In the above combine, one end of the combiner is connected to a cylinder head of the engine to support the exhaust gas purifying device, and the exhaust gas purifying device support bracket is connected to the exhaust gas purifying device support bracket and extends upward. An exhaust pipe support bracket that supports an exhaust outlet pipe of the exhaust gas purification device, and the exhaust pipe support bracket is arranged in parallel with the back plate of the partition plate and the exhaust gas purification device interposed therebetween It is good.

In the combine, an air cleaner and an attenuator supported by the engine room frame are provided in the intake passage of the engine, and the attenuator is disposed below the air cleaner and behind the exhaust gas purification device. The exhaust pipe support bracket may be disposed between the attenuator and the exhaust gas purification device.

Further, a reaping device for reaping uncut cereals in the field, a threshing device for threshing the reaped cereals harvested by the reaping device, a grain tank for storing grains threshed by the threshing device, and the reaping device, In a combine comprising the threshing device, a traveling machine body in which the Glen tank is installed, and an engine installed in an engine room on the traveling machine body, an intake path and an exhaust path of the engine are the Glen tank and the threshing apparatus. And a pre-cleaner that serves as a fresh air introduction part for the intake path and a tail pipe that serves as an exhaust gas discharge part for the exhaust path are provided above the fuselage. The intake pipe is disposed closer to the driver's seat than the path, and the intake pipe is disposed near the exhaust path in the intake path. Thereby, since the intake path is arranged between the driver seat and the exhaust path, the intake path can function as a heat shield member that blocks exhaust heat from the exhaust path behind the driver seat. Therefore, it is possible to prevent heat from the exhaust path such as the tail pipe from being transmitted to the operator sitting on the driver's seat. In addition, by configuring the intake pipe near the exhaust path with a metal pipe, not only deformation due to the heat effect from the exhaust path is suppressed, but also the rigidity of the intake path can be secured.

In the combine, an engine room frame constituting an engine room including the engine is erected from the traveling machine body, and a driving unit having the driver seat is installed on the upper side of the engine room, and the intake pipe and The tail pipe may be connected to the engine room frame behind the operation unit. Thus, the support structure can be simplified by intensively supporting the intake pipe and the tail pipe on the engine room frame, and the assembly and maintenance of the intake / exhaust path of the engine can be improved.

The combine is provided with an exhaust gas purifying device for purifying exhaust gas from the engine, and an exhaust outlet of an exhaust outlet pipe of the exhaust gas purifying device is inserted into an exhaust inlet of the tail pipe extending into the engine room. The exhaust pipe and the exhaust gas purifying device are supported by the engine via a first support bracket, while the tail pipe is supported by the engine room frame via a second support bracket. It is good. That is, the separately connected exhaust outlet pipe and tail pipe can be supported by the engine and traveling machine body that are in the same vibration relationship as the exhaust outlet pipe and tail pipe, respectively. Therefore, the exhaust outlet pipe and the tail pipe are not affected by another vibration unit, and damage or failure can be prevented. Further, since the tail pipe can be separated from the vibration system of the engine, the possibility of damaging the tail pipe due to the difference in vibration frequency between the diesel engine side and the traveling machine side can be remarkably suppressed.

In the above combine, the tail pipe is constituted by a double pipe composed of an inner pipe and an outer pipe, the exhaust outlet pipe is inserted into the inner pipe, and the second support bracket serves as the inner pipe and the outer pipe. It is good also as what is connected with each. By fixing each of the inner pipe and the outer pipe of the tail pipe with the second support bracket, the relative position of the inner pipe with respect to the outer pipe can be maintained and supported.

In the above-described combine, the second support bracket is configured in an L shape including a first connecting portion extending vertically and a second connecting portion extending forward from the lower end of the first connecting member. The middle part of the outer pipe is connected to the upper end of the first connecting part, the middle part of the first connecting part is connected to the engine room frame, and the front end of the inner pipe is connected to the front end of the second connecting part. It is good also as what is done. By configuring the second support bracket in an L shape, the tail pipe can be fixed so that the exhaust inlet extends into the engine room, and the high temperature exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust outlet pipe can be sufficiently absorbed by the tail pipe. It can be cooled and exhausted to the outside.

In the combine, the intake pipe is connected to the engine room frame via a third support bracket and extends vertically on the side of the tail pipe, and the third support bracket is connected to the intake pipe. It is good also as what has a shape arrange | positioned ahead of the connection part with the said engine room frame. In the third support bracket, the connecting portion with the intake pipe is disposed in front of the connecting portion with the engine room frame, so that it can be installed with an appropriate gap between the intake passage and the exhaust passage. Mutual thermal effects in can be easily mitigated.

According to the present invention, a part of the engine room and the lower side of the operation unit are covered with the partition plate. Accordingly, not only the exhaust gas purifier or the engine that becomes a heating element but also the thermal influence on the operating part is suppressed, the cooling air flowing in the engine room is guided to the opening on the feeder house side, and the exhaust in the engine room is exhausted. It is possible to prevent the hot air from staying and improve the cooling effect in the engine room.

According to the present invention, the exhaust gas purification device is disposed so as to protrude from the left side surface of the operation unit toward the feeder house, and the exhaust gas purification device is covered with the partition plate. Therefore, not only can the air heated by the exhaust heat from the engine and the exhaust gas purifying device be prevented from flowing into the operating unit, but also the operator can be prevented from coming into contact with high-temperature components such as the exhaust gas purifying device serving as a heating element.

According to the present invention, since the outlet pipe support bracket is configured to be wide in the left-right direction (the same direction as the engine output shaft) as with the rear plate of the partition plate body, the cooling air passing through the engine room is fed to the feeder house side. The cooling air can be prevented from staying in the engine room. Further, since the outlet pipe support bracket is disposed between the exhaust gas purification device and the attenuator, the attenuator is less likely to receive radiant heat from the exhaust gas purification device.

As shown in FIGS. 16 to 21, the exhaust outlet pipe 82 is bent toward the left and right center side of the traveling machine body 1, and further, on the lower side of the partition plate body 65 (between the threshing device 5 and the glen tank 7). It is bent towards the back at the vicinity of the entrance. That is, the exhaust outlet pipe 82 has an S shape in plan view. Therefore, the exhaust gas purifying device 50 and the midway portion of the exhaust outlet pipe 82 are adjacent to each other so as to extend parallel to the axial direction of the output shaft 20a of the diesel engine 20 in plan view. The rear end side of the exhaust outlet pipe 82 and the front end side of the tail pipe 84 communicate with each other.

The tail pipe 84 is bent such that the front end side is bent downward, the midway portion is extended upward, and the rear end side is extended rearward on the rear upper side of the traveling crawler 2. That is, the tail pipe 84 has a crank shape in side view. The rear end side of the tail pipe 84 opens rearward and obliquely downward. In addition, the rear end side of the tail pipe 84 extends rearward and obliquely leftward so that the rear end opening portion faces the threshing device 5 side. The inner diameter of the exhaust inlet on the front end side of the tail pipe 84 is larger than the outer diameter of the exhaust outlet on the rear end side of the exhaust outlet pipe 82. The exhaust outlet of the tail pipe 84 is fitted into the exhaust outlet of the exhaust outlet pipe 82 in a loose fit. For this reason, external air is sucked into the tail pipe 84 from the gap between the exhaust outlet of the exhaust outlet pipe 82 and the exhaust inlet of the tail pipe 84 under a negative pressure.

As shown in FIGS. 15 to 23, the tail pipe 84 is constituted by a double pipe including an inner pipe 84a and an outer pipe 84b, and the outer side of the inner pipe 84a and the inner side of the outer pipe 84b are connected by a plurality of spacers 84c. An inner tube 84a is fixed inside the outer tube 84b. The inner pipe 84a protrudes from the outer pipe 84b at the tip (exhaust inlet) of the tail pipe 84, and the rear end (exhaust outlet) of the exhaust outlet pipe 82 is inserted into the tip (exhaust inlet) of the inner pipe 84a of the tail pipe 84.

That is, the separately connected exhaust outlet pipe 82 and tail pipe 84 can be supported by the engine 20 and the traveling machine body 1 that are in the same vibrational relationship as the exhaust outlet pipe 82 and tail pipe 84, respectively. Therefore, the exhaust outlet pipe 82 and the tail pipe 84 are not affected by another vibration unit, and damage or failure can be prevented. Further, since the tail pipe 84 can be separated from the vibration system of the diesel engine 20, the possibility of damaging the tail pipe 84 due to the difference in vibration frequency between the diesel engine 20 side and the traveling machine body 1 side can be remarkably suppressed.

By configuring the tail pipe support bracket 118 in an L shape, the tail pipe 84 can be fixed so that the exhaust inlet extends into the engine room 43, and the hot exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust outlet pipe 82 is tailed. The pipe 84 can sufficiently cool and exhaust to the outside. By fixing each of the inner tube 84a and the outer tube 84b with the tail pipe support bracket 118, the relative position of the inner tube 84a with respect to the outer tube 84b can be maintained and supported.

Further, since the inner tube 84a and the outer tube 84b are distributed and fixed at both end positions of the tail pipe support bracket 118, the double tube structure of the tail pipe 84 can be supported with high rigidity. The outer tube 84b is connected to the connecting plate 119 at a position facing the exhaust outlet portion of the inner tube 84a, whereby the exhaust outlet portion of the inner tube 84a is fixed by the connecting plate 119 via the spacer 84c.

Further, the relay plate 121 is formed with an adjustment slot that is vertically aligned in the left-right longitudinal direction, and is fastened when the relay plate 121 can be adjusted to the left-right attachment position with respect to the intake / exhaust path support frame 122. Therefore, by adjusting the fastening position of the tail pipe support bracket 118 and the relay plate 121, the support position of the tail pipe 84 can be easily adjusted, and processing errors and assembly errors can be absorbed. The connecting plate 119 may be provided with left and right longitudinal adjustment slots, while the relay plate 121 may be provided with upper and lower longitudinal adjustment slots.

The air cleaner 49 communicates with a pre-cleaner 85 serving as a fresh air introduction unit that takes in air from outside air. Similar to the tail pipe 84, the pre-cleaner 85 is disposed between the threshing device 5 and the grain tank 7 and extends above the threshing device 5 and the grain tank 7.

It is connected through. In other words, the intake path of the diesel engine 20 is disposed closer to the driver seat 10b than the exhaust path, and the intake pipe 87 in a location close to the exhaust path in the intake path is formed of a metal pipe. The intake pipe 87 is disposed behind the operation tool case 17 behind the side column 15, and is supported by the left column frame 71 together with the tail pipe 84. That is, the operation tool case 17 is disposed at a position behind the side column 15 and in front of the tail pipe 84 and the intake pipe 87.

With this configuration, the operation tool case 17 and the intake pipe 87 are arranged side by side between the driver's seat 10b and the tail pipe 84. Therefore, the operation tool case 17 and the intake pipe 87 can function as a heat shield member that blocks exhaust heat from the tail pipe 84 behind the driver seat 10b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hot air from the tail pipe 84 from being transmitted to the operator sitting on the driver's seat 10b. In addition, since the intake pipe 87 is formed of a metal pipe, not only deformation due to thermal influence from the tail pipe 84 is suppressed, but also the rigidity of the intake path can be ensured.

The relay plate 124 is fixed to the upper end of the intake / exhaust path support frame 122 by welding, and a connecting portion with the intake pipe support bracket 123 extends forward of the intake / exhaust path support frame 122. Therefore, the intake pipe support bracket 123 is fixed to the intake / exhaust path support frame 122 in front of the tail pipe support bracket 118.

The relay plate 124 is configured in a crank shape in plan view, and includes a connection portion with the intake pipe support bracket 123 on the front side and a connection portion with the relay plate 121 connected with the tail pipe support bracket 118 on the rear side. . That is, by configuring the relay plate 124 in a plan view crank shape, the intake pipe support bracket 123 and the tail pipe support bracket 118 can be fixed before and after the relay plate 124.

Further, one end of the relay plate 124 is connected to the rear side of the right side of the threshing device 5 and is connected to the other end of the rear support frame 128 that extends in the front-rear direction.

By supporting the intake pipe 87 and the tail pipe 84 in a concentrated manner on the intake / exhaust path support frame 122, the support structure can be simplified, and the assembly and maintenance of the intake / exhaust path of the engine 20 can be improved. Further, since the relative position of the tail pipe support bracket 118 and the intake pipe support bracket 123 can be fixed by the relay plate 124, an appropriate gap can be provided between the intake path and the exhaust path, and mutual thermal influences on the intake and exhaust can be reduced. Can be easily relaxed. Further, the relay plate 124 connected to the intake pipe support bracket 123 and the tail pipe support bracket 118 is connected so as to be sandwiched by the front and rear support frames 127 and 128 connected to the front and rear of the threshing device 5, respectively. Yes. Therefore, the threshing device 5 ensures the rigidity of the intake / exhaust path support frame 122, and the intake / exhaust path of the engine 20 can be supported with high rigidity.

The connection bracket 117 of the outlet pipe support bracket 115 is disposed at the same height as the attenuator 88, and the front surface of the attenuator 88 is covered with the connection bracket 117 of the outlet pipe support bracket 115. As a result, the attenuator 88 is less likely to receive radiant heat from the exhaust gas purification device 50. Since the connecting bracket 117 of the outlet pipe support bracket 115 is configured to be wide in the left-right direction (the same direction as the output shaft 20a of the engine 20) like the back plate 65c of the partition plate body 65, the cooling that passes through the engine room 43 is performed. Air can be guided to the feeder house 31 side of the reaping device 3, and the retention of cooling air in the engine room 43 can be suppressed.

In the engine room 43, the air cleaner 49 and the attenuator 88 are arranged on the left and right in a plan view, while the intake pipe 87 and the attenuator 88 are arranged on the front and rear in a plan view. Accordingly, since the components of the intake path of the engine 20 can be efficiently and compactly arranged, the intake path can be shortened. In the engine room 43, an air cleaner 49 and an attenuator 88 are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right sides of the exhaust gas purification device 50 with the exhaust outlet pipe 82 interposed therebetween. Therefore, in the engine room 43, each component constituting the intake path of the engine 20 constitutes intake and exhaust of the engine 20 while suppressing the thermal influence from the exhaust gas purification device 50 serving as a high-temperature heating element. The placement efficiency of each part can be improved.
