This invention relates to the field of
agricultural machinery, and more specifically, to a self-propelled corn harvester, comprising a tracked trolley, a gantry frame mounted thereon, a clamping mechanism fixed to the gantry frame, and a harvesting roller. The clamping mechanism includes a main beam inclined downwards from the
tail to the head and a separating
assembly protruding from the gantry frame. The harvesting roller is connected to the
tail of the main beam and forms a
lateral compression space with the clamping mechanism. This invention addresses the technical problems of corn harvesters being unable to adapt to complex
terrain, occupying too much space and lacking flexible turning, consuming too much energy during harvesting, causing significant damage to corn ears during harvesting, and resulting in poor corn ear quality. It enhances the automatic adaptability and
operational stability in complex
terrain; reduces the space occupied by the corn harvester, facilitating flexible turning; eliminates the need for additional power input during harvesting, reducing
energy consumption during the harvesting process, making harvesting more labor-saving, and improving the quality of harvested corn ears.
