Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of agricultural harvesting machinery, and particularly relates to a double-section cylinder sieve cleaning device, a control method and a harvester. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of harvesting machinery, the cleaning device is a core component of the grain combine harvester, which is used to separate and remove stems and residues in the grain, and its cleaning performance directly affects the working effect of the combine harvester in the field. Improving the cleaning efficiency is crucial to the overall performance improvement of the harvesting machinery. However, the content of broken stems and broken rice leaves in the rice stripping mixture is too high, the mass ratio of grains to residues in the rice stripping mixture is nearly 3:1, and the volume ratio of grains to residues is 1:3-1:4, so it is difficult to clean the rice stripping mixture with high impurity content.
[0003] In order to reduce the vibration of the cleaning device on the overall combine harvester and achieve high-efficiency cleaning of the rice stripping mixture with high impurity content, the prior art has made a series of designs based on the optimization of the flat sieve structure, but still cannot avoid the problem of large vibration. In order to reduce vibration, some also use a cylindrical sieve to clean the rice stripping material. The rotary motion characteristics greatly reduce the vibration of the cleaning device. The prior art discloses a rice threshing and cleaning device, which mainly includes a device housing, a threshing drum, a cylindrical sieve and a cleaning fan. The device is miniaturized and compact, and can be used on a combine harvester. However, the existing technology directly changes the original concave sieve into a cylindrical sieve, which causes the material to only pass through one layer of sieve surface for cleaning after the threshing drum threshes, resulting in high impurity content.
[0004] However, the current traditional rice combine harvester widely uses a fan to cooperate with a double-layer or multi-layer vibrating sieve to clean the grain stripping material. Since the driving mode adopts a connecting rod reciprocating mechanism, the flat sieve driven by the connecting rod reciprocating motion faces the problem of large vibration amplitude, which cannot be solved in actual work. In addition, due to the different growth densities of rice in the field, the feeding amount of the harvester fluctuates, which easily causes uneven distribution and blockage of the material in the sieve. However, the existing cleaning device cannot adjust in real time according to the amount of material in the sieve, which leads to instability in the cleaning process, reduces the cleaning efficiency, and increases the complexity of operation and the trouble of manual intervention. SUMMARY

[0058] A control method for the dual-stage cylindrical screen cleaning device includes the following steps:
[0059] After the threshing process is completed between the threshing drum and the concave screen, the grains, along with the stems and impurities that have passed through the concave screen, enter the cylindrical screen 1. The drive system 2 drives the cylindrical screen 1 to rotate, so that the rotation speed of the first half of the cylindrical screen 1 is v1. Through rotation, the grains and stems in the screen are separated into layers. According to the distribution characteristics of the material under the concave screen, most of the grains and stems are cleaned in the first half of the screen. The stems and impurities separated by the first half of the screen enter the second half of the cylindrical screen 1. The drive system 2 drives the second half of the screen to rotate at a speed of v2, where v2 > v1. Due to the speed difference, the separation angle between the grains and stems changes, and the grains and stems in the material to be cleaned are fully separated.

[0069] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the present application realizes the specific process of double-section cylinder screen cleaning:
[0070] When the combine harvester driver operates the combine harvester in the field, the header cuts the rice and transports it into the cylinder through the conveying groove. After the threshing process is completed between the cylinder and the concave screen, the grains and the stems and residues passing through the concave screen enter the cylinder screen 1. The uniform rotational speed of the cylinder screen 1 is 34 r / min, and the separation of the grains and the stems in the screen is realized by rotation. According to the distribution characteristics of the material below the concave screen, most of the grains and the stems are cleaned in the front half of the screen. The uniform rotational speed of the rear half of the screen is 41 r / min. The stems and residues separated by the front half of the screen enter the rear half of the cylinder screen 1. Due to the speed difference, the separation angle of the grains and the stems changes. After the grains and the stems in the cleaning material are fully separated, the stems and the residues are discharged from the tail of the cylinder screen 1. When the feeding amount suddenly changes or the screen is entangled, the value of the feeding amount sensor 4 exceeds the set feeding amount threshold, and it is judged that the cylinder screen 1 is blocked. According to the degree of blockage in the screen, the driving motor and the gap adjusting motor can adjust the rotational speed of the cylinder screen 1 and the size of the screen gap of the cylinder screen 1 step by step. After 5 seconds, the blockage is detected again, which can avoid continuous high-load cleaning in the screen and improve the cleaning efficiency of the combine harvester in the field.

The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.

The rice cleaning cylinder screen device is designed, and the rotary motion greatly reduces the vibration of the cleaning device compared with the connecting rod type motion, thereby improving the working reliability of the whole machine. In view of the different grain content in the mixture discharged by the cylinder and the different cleaning requirements, a double-section cylinder screen is designed to determine the different rotational speeds of the front and rear screens and the size of the screen, thereby improving the rice cleaning efficiency. In view of the problem that the feeding amount changes due to the different growth densities of rice in the field, the screen gap adjustment and double-section screen rotational speed adjustment structure are designed to realize the function of adjusting the rotational speed and the screen gap in real time according to the feeding amount and the blockage in the screen.
