Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery and equipment, and in particular relates to an amphibious reed combine harvester chassis device and a control method and a harvester. Background Art

[0002] There are nine major reed producing areas in China: 1. Baiyangdian reed producing area; 2. Xinjiang Bosteng reed producing area; 3. Northeast Songnen Plain reed producing area; 4. Heilongjiang Sanjiang Plain area; 5. Inner Mongolia Wuliangsuhai reed producing area; 6. Liaoning Panjin reed producing area; 7. Jiangsu Yancheng producing area, Sheyang coastal producing area, and reed fields near the estuary; 8. Dongting Lake and Honghu reed fields; 9. Poyang Lake reed producing area. Most of them are dryland reeds and swamp reeds. Except for dry land, most planting areas have a high moisture content. If common crawler equipment is used, the crawler will sink under the gravity of the body and the crops in the material box, making it impossible to continue to pass. The existing crawler devices are generally suitable for dry land or mud with low moisture content, not for mud with high moisture content, swamps and river beaches, such as the public number CN 220883959U discloses a crawler that can be used on land and water, which is composed of a single-sided crawler and a middle water storage cavity. It can be used in dry land, muddy land with low water content, and river beaches, but it is easy to sink in muddy land and swamps with high water content, resulting in difficulty in moving. The disclosure number is CN114683785A, which discloses a reed harvester for water and wetlands. However, spiral rollers are arranged at the bottom of both sides of the hull as a walking mechanism, but the contact area between the rollers and the ground is too small (especially when harvesting on hard ground), which will also aggravate the sinking degree of the equipment. In addition, the supporting force of the entire chassis system of this harvester is too small, and it is not suitable to add equipment for subsequent processing of reeds, such as knotters and stacking and baling boxes, to the hull. Therefore, it is necessary to design a reed combine harvester chassis device with good versatility, suitable for multiple environments, and can be used for amphibious purposes. Summary of the invention

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the left outer crawler mechanism 1 has the same structure as the right outer crawler mechanism 4, and the right outer crawler mechanism 4 includes a second driving wheel 401, a driving wheel lifting mechanism 402, a second driving wheel connecting mechanism 403, a second driven wheel 404, a driven wheel lifting mechanism 405, a second driven wheel connecting mechanism 406, a plurality of second load-bearing wheels 407, a second load-bearing wheel connecting mechanism 408, a load-bearing wheel lifting mechanism 409, a supporting pulley 410, a pulley fixing plate 411, a pulley lifting mechanism 412, a pulley connecting mechanism 413, a second driving wheel driving mechanism 414, a second driven wheel rotating shaft 415, a second depth sensor 416, a pulley depth sensor 417, a displacement sensor 418 and a second track strip 419;

[0045] The second driving wheel 401 and the second driven wheel 404 are located at both ends of the second track strip 419, the second driving wheel 401 is connected to the second driving wheel driving mechanism 414, the second driving wheel driving mechanism 414 is connected to one end of the driving wheel lifting mechanism 402, the other end of the driving wheel lifting mechanism 402 is connected to the second driving wheel connecting mechanism 403, the second driving wheel connecting mechanism 403 is connected to the crawler chassis connecting bracket 5, the second driven wheel 404 is connected to the second driven wheel rotating shaft 415, the second driven wheel rotating shaft 415 is connected to one end of the driven wheel lifting mechanism 405, the other end of the driven wheel lifting mechanism 405 is connected to the second driven wheel connecting mechanism 406, and the second driven wheel connecting mechanism 406 is connected to the second driven wheel rotating shaft 415. The driving wheel connecting mechanism 406 is connected to the track chassis connecting bracket 5, a plurality of second road wheels 407 are connected to the second road wheel fixing plate 420, the second road wheel fixing plate 420 is connected to one end of the road wheel lifting mechanism 409, the other end of the road wheel lifting mechanism 409 is connected to the second road wheel connecting mechanism 408, the second road wheel connecting mechanism 408 is connected to the track chassis connecting bracket 5, the supporting pulley 410 is connected to the pulley fixing plate 411, the pulley fixing plate 411 is connected to one end of the pulley lifting mechanism 412, the other end of the pulley lifting mechanism 412 is connected to the pulley connecting mechanism 413, the pulley connecting mechanism 413 is connected to the second road wheel fixing plate 420,

[0046] The driving wheel lifting mechanism 402, the driven wheel lifting mechanism 405 and the road wheel lifting mechanism 409 are respectively installed with displacement sensors 418, and the displacement sensor 418 is used to detect the displacement of the road wheel lifting mechanism 409. A second depth sensor 416 is installed at the center of the second driving wheel 401, and the second depth sensor 416 is used to detect the distance h1 from the center of the second driving wheel 401 to the original ground. A pulley depth sensor 417 is installed at the center of the supporting pulley 410, and the pulley depth sensor 417 is used to detect the distance h5 between the center of the supporting pulley 410 and the ground. The second driving wheel 401 and the second driven wheel 404 drive the second track strip 419 to move.

[0047] Preferably, the control unit may be installed in the cab control system 10 .

[0048] The working process of the inner and outer crawlers is as follows: when the reed harvester is harvesting reeds in dry land or muddy land with low water content, only the inner crawler mechanisms on the left and right sides are in contact with the ground to support the machine body to move forward, and the outer crawler mechanisms on both sides are lifted to a certain height without contacting the ground under the joint action of the driving wheel lifting mechanism 402, the driven wheel lifting mechanism 405, and the road wheel lifting mechanism 409, because the crawlers are not easy to sink in dry land and muddy land with low water content. At this time, only the inner crawler mechanism is needed to meet the requirements of moving and harvesting, and only power needs to be provided to the first driving wheel driving mechanism 309 of the inner crawler mechanism to drive the crawler to move forward;

[0049] After the outer crawler is lifted to a certain height, the crawler support pulley 410 is extended downward under the action of the pulley lifting mechanism 412 until the pulley contacts the ground. The entire support pulley 410 can provide support for the outer crawler, making the machine more stable as a whole. The support pulley 410 can also slide on the ground.

[0050] When the reed harvester is harvesting reeds in a swamp or muddy ground with high water content, it only relies on the support and movement of the inner crawler mechanism. The crawler is easy to sink under the action of the machine body and the material box. If the sinking depth is too deep, the harvester cannot move forward and the machine will also wear faster. Therefore, in this case, the inner and outer crawlers are used to move at the same time to reduce the ground pressure on the one hand and prevent the crawler from sinking too deep and failing to work on the other hand.

[0051] When the reed harvester is harvesting reeds in a swamp or mud with a high water content, the outer track mechanism is lowered to a certain height to contact the ground. This height is based on the installation height of the inner track to ensure that the bottom and top surfaces of the inner and outer tracks are in the same plane, thereby ensuring the stability of the harvester's movement. At the same time, the support pulley 410 is retracted upward under the action of the lifting mechanism until the pulley is no longer in contact with the ground. At this time, the driving wheels of the inner and outer tracks are driven by a power source to ensure that the two tracks move at the same speed.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, when the reed harvester is operating on dry land or muddy land with low moisture content, the track is not easy to sink, and only a single track is needed for operation. At this time, the inner track is in contact with the ground to support the machine body forward, and the outer track is lifted to a certain height to a suspended state under the action of various lifting mechanisms. At the same time, the pulley support mechanism descends until the pulley contacts the ground, which supports the outer track and improves the operation stability of the machine.

[0053] Combination Figure 4 , 5As shown in 6, a control method of the amphibious reed combine harvester chassis device comprises the following steps:

[0054] When the reed harvester is operating on dry land or muddy land with low moisture content, the crawler is not easy to sink. A single crawler is adopted. The left inner crawler mechanism 2 and the right inner crawler mechanism 3 are in contact with the ground to support the machine body to move forward. The left outer crawler mechanism 1 and the right outer crawler mechanism 4 are lifted into a suspended state by the lifting mechanism. The pulley lifting mechanism 412 descends to support the pulley 410 to contact the ground, which plays a supporting role for the outer crawler and improves the operation stability of the machine.

[0055] When the reed harvester is operating in a swamp or muddy ground with a high water content, the track sinks. When the sinking depth Z is greater than a preset value, a double track form is adopted, and the control unit controls the lifting mechanism to lower the second track strip 419, and the inner and outer tracks are kept at the same horizontal position. The road wheel lifting mechanism 409 is controlled to lower the second road wheel 407, and the pulley lifting mechanism 412 is controlled to lift the supporting pulley 410.

[0056] Preferably, when the reed harvester is operating in a swamp or muddy ground with a high moisture content, the track is too deep, affecting normal driving. The first depth sensor 310 detects the distance h from the center of the first driven wheel shaft 309 to the original ground, and transmits a signal to the control unit. The sinking depth is Z, Z=Ch, C is the distance from the center of the first driven wheel shaft 309 to the bottom of the track. When the sinking depth Z is greater than the preset value, a double track form is adopted. The second depth sensor 416 detects the distance h1 from the center of the second driving wheel 401 to the original ground, and the distance from the bottom of the outer track to the original ground is h2=h1-C. The control unit controls the driven wheel lift.

[0057] When the reed harvester is harvesting reeds on the river beach, the water area submerges the crawler tracks, and it is unrealistic to use the crawler tracks to walk on the river beach. It is necessary to open the airbag 6 and fill the airbag 6 with gas through the inflation tank. The airbag 6 fills the middle gap of the crawler chassis connecting bracket 5 to provide buoyancy for the harvester so that it can float on the water surface without sinking. The control unit controls the rotation of the impeller. There can be multiple impellers. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the impellers include a first impeller 7, a second impeller 8, and a third impeller 9. The rotation of the three impellers can provide power for the harvester to move forward, thereby ensuring the passability of the harvester when operating on the river beach.

[0058] The invention can realize the harvesting of reeds in different environments such as river beaches, swamps, dry lands, etc., and improve the environmental adaptability and passability of the harvester.
