Problems solved by technology

If the gap is relatively large and the expelled grain encounters the wind, the grain may be blown away and lost
Large gaps also make it difficult to control and direct the grain flow after it leaves the unloading system
Also, if the end of the unloading system is spaced too far from the container, any stop or deceleration of the unloading system could cause a significant volume of grain in mid-air to drop directly or not reach the container, without something in place Grain loss caused by receiving falling grain

Abstract

A conveyor system for unloading crop material from an agricultural harvester includes an adjustable-length discharge tube. The discharge tube includes at least a first tube section and a second tube section, the first tube section movably attached to the second tube section in an adjustable arrangement. The first tube section and the second tube section are each hollow and collectively define a passage for conveying crop material through the discharge tube. One of the first tube section and the second tube section is movable relative to the other of the first tube section and the second tube section to adjust the length of the discharge tube. One of the tube sections can be telescopically received in another of the tube sections. In addition, or in the alternative, one of the tube sectionscan be pivotally attached to another of the tube sections.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to automated conveying systems and, more particularly, to an extendable conveying system for an agricultural vehicle characterized in that one or more adjustable extension tube and / or extension chute. Background technique [0002] To increase productivity, agricultural vehicles such as combine harvesters have become larger, headers have become wider, and travel speeds during harvesting have increased. Additionally, harvesting operations in large fields often involve simultaneous harvesting and unloading (sometimes referred to in the art as "on the go" unloading) of the harvested crop material. Typically, combines have an unloading system that includes an unloading tube that includes an auger. The auger is deployed for unloading crop material from the onboard grain bin into an attached receiving container such as a tractor puller, four wheeler, truck, trailer or the like. The unloading tube covers the grain as ...
