The second forming roller 632 is located obliquely above the first forming roller 631, and a plurality of ribs are uniformly fixed on the second forming roller 632. The cooperation of the first forming roller 631 and the second forming roller 632 helps to form a more compact and stable bale structure. The plurality of ribs on the second forming roller 632 can further compress the straw bale.

[0051] As the transmission scheme of the present embodiment, one end of the second forming roller 632 is connected with the driving roller 61 by chain transmission, the other end of the second forming roller 632 is connected with one end of the first forming roller 631 by chain transmission, the other end of the first forming roller 631 is connected with the output shaft of the gear box 7 by chain transmission, and the output shaft of the gear box 7 is connected with the feeding mechanism 3 by chain transmission. The gear box 7 is fixed on the front pressing chamber 51. The chain transmission ensures the stability and reliability in the process of power transmission, and reduces the energy loss.

[0052] As a specific scheme of the tension adjusting structure, referring to Figure 7 , the tension adjusting structure includes two belt tensioning arms 64, one end of each of the two belt tensioning arms 64 is hingedly connected to the inner top of the front pressing chamber 51 on both sides, a plurality of tensioning rollers in contact with the annular belt are rotationally arranged between the two belt tensioning arms 64, the middle part of each belt tensioning arm 64 is hingedly connected with the extension end of a hydraulic rod 65, and the fixed end of each hydraulic rod 65 is hingedly connected to the front pressing chamber 51; during the increase of the straw bale, the two belt tensioning arms 64 are lifted upward and drive the extension of the extension end of the two hydraulic rods 65, and the pressure of the hydraulic rod is maintained to ensure that the straw bale is formed under a certain pressure.

[0053] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the three driven rollers 62 at the straw compression port in the belt bundling mechanism 6 are respectively a first driven roller 621, a second driven roller 622 and a third driven roller 623, wherein the first driven roller 621 is located below the driving roller 61, the second driven roller 622 is located beside the driving roller 61, and the third driven roller 623 is located below the second driven roller 622, and the belt tensioning arm 64 is provided with a first tensioning roller 641, a second tensioning roller 642 and a third tensioning roller 643, the first tensioning roller 641 is located on one side below the driving roller 61, and the second tensioning roller 642 and the third tensioning roller 643 are respectively located on both sides below the second driven roller 622.

Among them, the first driven roller 621, the second tensioning roller 642, the second tensioning roller 642 and the third driven roller 623 form a triangular opening-shaped straw compression port, and the straw compression port compresses the straw bale below the two forming rollers 63.

[0054] Specifically, the front pressing chamber 51 is provided with a limiting arm 66 for limiting the two sides of the straw bale on both sides thereof, and the two limiting arms 66 are respectively located at the junction of the fixed ends of the two hydraulic rods 65.

The two first pressure sensors can monitor the pressure distribution on both sides of the straw round bale in real time, and the pressure values of the two first pressure sensors facilitate the judgment of whether the density on both sides of the straw round bale is uniform. If the pressure values of the two first pressure sensors differ too much, the alarm will be started to remind the driver to change the route, so that the density on both sides of the straw bale is kept as uniform as possible.

[0056] An angle sensor is arranged at the hinged position of each belt tensioning arm 64 and the front pressing chamber 51. The angle sensor can detect the angle of the lifting of the belt tensioning arm 64, and facilitate the conversion of the diameter and pressure of the straw bale.

[0057] A displacement sensor for measuring the extension amount of the telescopic end and a second pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the telescopic end are arranged on the hydraulic rod 65. The angle sensor, the displacement sensor and the second pressure sensor are electrically connected with the controller. The displacement sensor and the second pressure sensor can detect the extension amount and the force of the hydraulic rod 65, and facilitate the control of the angle of the lifting of the belt tensioning arm 64. The controller of the embodiment is preferably a PLC.

[0058] In summary, the working principle of the scheme is that,

[0059] The round baler body advances on the ground through the moving frame 1. The scattered straw on the ground enters the feeding mechanism 3 through the pickup mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 3 sends the straw into the pressing chamber 5. The compressed straw port of the annular belt in the pressing chamber 5 compresses the straw to form a round bale. The size of the compressed straw port of the annular belt is adjusted by the tensioning and adjusting structure to adjust the diameter of the straw bale. Not only does this make the annular belt always compress the straw bale, but also it adjusts according to different types of straw and the required diameter of the bale, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the existing baler.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] This embodiment is a further limitation based on embodiment 1. The specific improvement point is how to control the belt type variable diameter round baler to carry out straw baling operation. The other parts not mentioned refer to embodiment 1 or the prior art.

[0062] The embodiment provides a control method of a belt type variable diameter round baler, which comprises the following steps:

[0063] S1, setting the baling pressure, baling diameter and net winding number of the straw bale.

[0064] S2, starting the belt type variable diameter round baler to carry out straw baling operation.

[0065] S3, control the extension of the telescopic end of the two hydraulic rods 65 to drive the belt tensioning arm 64 to rise, and expand the compressed straw port on the annular belt.

[0066] Specifically, referring to Figure 8 Because Therefore, the extension amount of the hydraulic rod 65

[0067] Wherein, k1 is a proportional constant, L1 is the distance from the support end of the belt tensioning arm 64 to the annular belt to the hinge between the belt tensioning arm 64 and the front pressing chamber 511, L2 is the distance from the hinge between the belt tensioning arm 64 and the hydraulic rod 65 to the hinge between the belt tensioning arm 64 and the front pressing chamber, L3 is the distance from the hinge between the fixed end of the hydraulic rod and the front pressing chamber to the hinge between the belt tensioning arm 64 and the front pressing chamber 511; β is the initial angle between the line and the belt tensioning arm 64, the line is the straight line between the hinge between the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 65 and the front pressing chamber 511 to the hinge between the belt tensioning arm 64 and the front pressing chamber 511; θ is the angle change amount of the belt tensioning arm 64; P ′ P is the pressure on the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod, P is the corresponding baling pressure of the diameter of the straw bale, the larger the diameter of the straw bale, the greater the required baling pressure; L Y is the initial length of the hydraulic rod 65. a is the angle between the hydraulic rod 65 and the belt tensioning arm 64.

[0068] In this embodiment, the extension amount of the hydraulic rod is controlled by the displacement sensor, which can ensure that the corresponding baling pressure is maintained during the increase of the diameter of the straw bale. If the internal pressure is insufficient during the increase of the straw bale, the straw bale may not be tight enough, which may cause deformation or dispersion during transportation or storage; if the internal pressure of the straw bale is too high, especially for brittle straw, it may cause the straw to break, reducing the overall quality of the bale. At the same time, for the bale used as feed, the internal pressure may be too high, which may make the straw too tight, affecting the chewing and digestion of livestock. The angle sensor is provided to monitor the angle change amount of the belt tensioning arm 64 and thus to calculate the extension amount of the hydraulic rod 65.

[0069] S4, judge whether the diameter of the straw bale is greater than or equal to the set value, if yes, enter step S5, otherwise continue the work.

[0070] Wherein, referring to Figure 8 , the diameter of the straw bale 0.6 indicates that when the diameter of the straw bale is greater than 0.6m, the annular belt is gradually expanded, and the belt tensioning arm 64 starts to work. By calculating the diameter of the straw bale, compared with directly using the distance sensor, the straw is avoided to be touched, so that the controller can more accurately obtain the diameter of the straw bale.

[0071] S5. Stop the belt-driven variable diameter round baler from moving forward, and after the straw bales are wrapped with netting by the netting mechanism 4, discharge the straw bales from the baling chamber 5.

[0072] S6. Repeat steps S2 to S5 until the belt-driven variable diameter round baler completes all straw baling operations.

[0073] If one side of the straw bale has a lower density, that side may be weaker due to insufficient compression and is more prone to deformation or breakage under external force. To avoid this, in this embodiment, the variable diameter round baler will activate an alarm if the two pressure values ​​detected by the first pressure sensor on the two limit arms 66 differ by more than 10% during straw baling operations. This alarm will remind the driver to change the travel route to keep the density of the straw bale as uniform as possible on both sides.

[0074] Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this patent. Various modifications and variations that can be made by a person skilled in the art without inventive effort within the scope described in the claims still fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
