The invention discloses a test
system and method for testing the field performance of a
combine harvester and belongs to testing devices for combine harvesters. The test
system is composed of a header, a conveying device, a flow
cutting roller, two longitudinal axial flow rollers, a vibrating screen, a draught fan, a traveling device, an engine, a
transmission system, a hydraulic
system, an electrical system and the like. Power is supplied to the flow
cutting roller, the two longitudinal axial flow rollers, the vibrating screen and the draught fan by hydraulic motors which are independent of one another respectively, corresponding sensors are installed on the flow
cutting roller, the two longitudinal axial flow rollers, the vibrating screen and the draught fan to monitor the rotating speeds and the torques of the flow cutting roller, the two longitudinal axial flow rollers, the vibrating screen and the draught fan respectively, and stable work can be achieved during actual field operation. The test system and method mainly aims to solve the problems that the rotating speeds and torques of a flow cutting roller and two longitudinal axial flow rollers in a
combine harvester threshing system can not be controlled independently, and the rotating speeds of a vibrating screen and a draught fan can not be controlled independently either. The speeds of the four parts are controlled independently, observation is conducted by means of the rotating speed and torque sensors or an
encoder, and in this way, the cleaning losses and the non-
threshing rate of grains under different rotating speed conditions can be measured. The system and method are applied to operation of field harvesters.
