Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery and mainly relates to an operating device for combing and removing rice grains before harvesting. Background Technology

[0002] Rice threshing before harvest is a harvesting method in which rice grains are removed from the stalks of rice plants while they are still standing in the paddy field. Compared with the traditional method of first cutting the rice stalks with rice ears from the field and then using a clamping semi-feeding or full-feeding method for threshing, this threshing method has the advantages of simple structure and high harvesting efficiency. It has been a research focus of agricultural machinery technicians in recent years. The "grain threshing and picking mechanism before harvest" from Northeast Agricultural University and the "a negative pressure suction type pre-harvest threshing harvester" designed by Qin Chaoxue et al. are both operating mechanisms or machines for realizing rice threshing before harvest. However, in years of scientific research and experimentation, due to deficiencies and defects in structural design, the above-mentioned mechanisms or equipment all have technical problems such as large losses of rice grains splashing and falling after being removed from the rice plant stems standing in the field, poor adaptability, high yield but not profitable, and cannot adapt to and meet the requirements of rice pre-harvest harvesting operations. The promotion and application of pre-harvest threshing agronomic methods and pre-harvest threshing machinery and equipment have been affected and restricted. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art and, in combination with the current needs of rice grain combing operations before harvesting, to develop and design a new structure of a pre-harvest grain combing device with a constant angle adjustable threshing tooth plate and a fixed-area air-blowing mechanism.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A threshing device with adjustable constant angle threshing teeth and pre-cutting grain combing with fixed-area air blowing includes a support central shaft 11 fixedly mounted on a device frame 8. An adjusting sleeve 4 is axially and radially positioned and rotatably mounted on the left side of the support central shaft 11. Adjusting wheels 5 and adjusting discs 23 are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the adjusting sleeve 4, respectively. Multiple adjusting holes A6 are formed along the axial direction on the adjusting sleeve 4. Multiple adjusting holes B22, equal in number to the adjusting holes A6, are formed in a spiral pattern on the support central shaft 11. The multiple adjusting holes A6 are fixedly engaged with the corresponding adjusting holes B22 by locking pins. A sun gear 24 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the adjusting disc 23. The drive sleeve 2 is axially and radially positioned and rotatably mounted. A drive pulley 3 and a drive disc 20 are rotatably mounted on the outside of the adjusting bushing 4. The drive pulley 3 and drive disc 20 are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the drive bushing 2, respectively. Multiple fixing holes 18 are axially formed on the drive pulley 3. These fixing holes 18 are sequentially fixedly engaged with elongated through holes 17 formed on the device frame 8 by the insertion of pins. Two fastening screws 7 are coaxially mounted on the device frame 8, and these screws are either clamped or disengaged from the pins inserted into the fixing holes 18 and elongated through holes 17. An intermediate gear 21 is rotatably mounted on the drive disc 20 via a column shaft 25. The intermediate gear 21 meshes with a sun gear 24. A slotted housing is fixedly mounted on the device frame 8. 1. The grooved housing 1 encloses the drive disc 20, adjusting disc 23, sun gear 24, and intermediate gear 21 as a whole. A grooved pressure air box 12 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the supporting central shaft 11. An air inlet cylinder 16 is installed on the grooved pressure air box 12 in interconnection. An arc-shaped protrusion 30 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bottom wall plate of the grooved pressure air box 12. A left spoke 26 and a right spoke 29 are axially and radially positioned and rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the central support shaft 11 between the grooved housing 1 and the grooved pressure air box 12, respectively. The right spoke 29 completely encloses the grooved pressure air box 12. A barrel-shaped comb tooth plate seat 14 rotatably supports the circular through hole inserted into the drive disc 20. Planetary gears 19 and comb plates 15 are fixedly mounted on the left and middle parts of the barrel comb plate seat 14, respectively, on the inner and left spokes 26 and right spokes 29. The planetary gears 19 mesh with the intermediate gear 21. The transmission ratio between the planetary gears 19 and the sun gear 24 is 1:1. Multiple rows of air blowers 9 are installed on the barrel wall of the barrel comb plate seat 14. An arc-shaped front baffle 10 is fixedly mounted on the middle front part of the support center shaft 11, located on the radial inner part of the barrel comb plate seat 14. An arc-shaped rear baffle 13 with multiple air holes is installed on the inner rear part of the grooved pressure air box 12, located on the radial outer part of the barrel comb plate seat 14.A spring seat 35 is fixedly installed in the right end cavity of the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14. A T-shaped sealing plate 33 is radially and circumferentially positioned and axially movable within the barrel cavity of the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14 by engaging with a groove 36 on the inner wall of the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14. Two sides of a pressure spring 34 are respectively fitted onto the spring seat 35 and the T-shaped sealing plate 33. A top post 27 is fixedly installed with the T-shaped sealing plate 33. A ventilation gap is left between the top post 27 and the air inlet 32 ​​inside the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14. The T-shaped sealing plate 33 and the air inlet 32 ​​are in a closed contact or open contact engagement. A ball bearing 28 is rotatably installed on the right end of the top post 27. The ball bearing 28 is in a pressing contact or open contact engagement with the arc-shaped protrusion 30.

[0025] When using the combing operation, first determine the appropriate combing tilt angle of the combing tooth plate 15. Then, insert locking pins into the corresponding adjusting holes A6 and B22 to secure the adjusting sleeve 4, adjusting wheel 5, adjusting disc 23, sun gear 24, and supporting central shaft 11 together. Next, external rotational power is input to cause the drive pulley 3, drive sleeve 2, and drive disc 20 to rotate around the supporting central shaft 11. This is achieved through the barrel-shaped combing tooth plate seat 14 inserted into the drive disc 20 and the column shaft 25 fixed to the drive disc 20. The planetary gear 19 and intermediate gear 21 revolve around the supporting central axis 11, while the planetary gear 19 rotates under the control of the sun gear 24 and intermediate gear 21. Based on the 1:1 transmission ratio between the planetary gear 19 and the sun gear 24, the angular change during the circular motion of the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14 is offset, achieving constant angular rotation of the comb tooth plate 15 fixed on the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14. The comb tooth plate 15, inserted above the standing rice stalks, combs the grains off the rice ears. At this time, the arc-shaped front baffle 10 blocks the combed rice grains outside the combing tooth plate 15, completing the combing operation; simultaneously, the barrel-shaped combing tooth plate seat 14, which rotates around the support central axis 11, drives the left spoke 26 and the right spoke 29 to rotate on the support central axis 11. When the ball bearing 28 at the right end of the barrel-shaped combing tooth plate seat 14 contacts the arc-shaped protrusion 30, the top column 27 drives the T-shaped sealing plate 33 to move to the left in the cavity of the barrel-shaped combing tooth plate seat 14, opening the air inlet 32, and external pressurized gas is introduced through... The air inlet cylinder 16 and the grooved pressure air box 12 fill the cavity of the barrel-shaped comb tooth plate seat 14. The pressurized gas is blown through the air blower 9 towards the arc-shaped rear vent plate 13. The gas is then blown through multiple vents on the arc-shaped rear vent plate 13 towards the combed rice grains located on the outer side and above the outer side of the arc-shaped rear vent plate 13, and sent to the conveying device of the machine. When the ball bearing 28 disengages from contact with the arc-shaped protrusion 30, the T-shaped sealing plate 33 moves to the right under the action of the pressure spring 34, closing the air inlet 32, thus completing the multi-angle fixed-area air blowing operation. Since the arc-shaped rear vent plate 13 is located outside the comb tooth plate 15, the blowing effect is greatly improved.

[0026] When adjusting the combing angle of the combing tooth plate 15 for different varieties of rice, first pull out the locking pins inserted in the adjustment holes A6 and B22, then insert the pin into the elongated through hole 17 on the device frame 8 and the fixing hole 18 on the drive pulley 3, and use the fastening screw 7 installed on the device frame 8 to tighten the pin in place, thus fixing the drive pulley 3, drive bushing 2, drive disc 20, planetary gear 19 and intermediate gear 21. At this time, the planetary gear 19 and intermediate gear 21 can only move forward. The drive shaft rotates on its own axis but cannot revolve around the sun. Then, the adjusting wheel 5 rotates, which in turn drives the adjusting bushing 4 and the sun gear 24 to rotate. Through the intermediate gear 21 and the planetary gear 19, the barrel-type comb tooth plate seat 14 rotates, which in turn drives the comb tooth plate 15 to rotate, thus completing the combing angle adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, the pins inserted into the elongated through hole 17 and the fixing hole 18 are removed. Then, the locking pins are inserted into the adjusting hole A6 on the drive bushing 2 and the adjusting hole B22 on the support center shaft 11 and fixed, thus completing the combing angle adjustment.
