[0010] The outlet of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 is connected to the inlet of the accumulator 32, the inlet of the one-way valve 33, the outlet of the one-way valve 34, and the inlet of the overflow valve 36.

[0012] When the three-position four-way electromagnetic directional valve is in the left position, the hydraulic pump inputs oil to the rodless chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic rod extends outward, and the cutter platform is pushed up. When the cutter platform reaches the target position, the three-position four-way electromagnetic valve is in the middle position, and the cutter platform is stable at the target height.

[0016] When the cutting platform 26 performs the profiling action, if the included angle between the cutter head and the ground deviates from the set angle, the cutting platform 26 can rotate together with the sliding palm around the sliding palm suspension 17 to make the included angle between the cutter blade on the cutter head and the ground return to the set value, so as to prevent the cutting tool from entering the soil and ensure the consistency of the stubble height.

[0017] As a further scheme of the present application, the resistance reducing sliding palm device V comprises a rear fixed frame 22, a wave-shaped plate 23, a wedge-shaped plate 24 and an upper cover plate 25; the rear fixed frame 22 is welded on the lower end of the sliding palm support 21, the rear end of the wave-shaped plate 23 is welded with the front end of the rear fixed frame 22, the rear end of the wedge-shaped plate 24 is welded with the front end of the wave-shaped plate 23, the front end of the upper cover plate 25 is welded with the front end of the wedge-shaped plate 24, and the rear end of the upper cover plate 25 is welded with the cutting platform 26.

[0018] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present application provides an auxiliary positioning system and a profiling cutting platform, which is designed based on the movement law of the connecting rod mechanism and the biological movement characteristics of earthworms in the soil, and is simulated and optimized based on the existing flat sliding palm.

[0020] The cutting platform is movably connected to the harvester main body through the connecting rod type profiling mechanism, so that the cutting platform can rotate in the vertical plane, and when the cultivated ground is high, the cutting platform is lifted upward, and vice versa.

[0021] The double-acting hydraulic cylinder is contracted, the cutting platform enters the working state, the floating tension spring is stretched under the action of the gravity of the cutting platform, at this time, the floating tension spring generates an oblique tension on the cutting platform, reduces the ground support force received by the sliding palm, improves the profiling capability of the cutting platform on uneven road surface, reduces the damage of the sliding palm lower contact surface to the soil structure and the ground stubble, reduces the ground sliding friction resistance when the cutting platform advances, and reduces the engine oil consumption.

[0022] The cutting knife angle self-adaptive adjusting device can make the cutting knife rotate around the supporting side plate driven by the cutting table. When profiling on the cutting table, the cutting knife angle increases, and when profiling under the cutting table, the cutting knife angle decreases, so as to ensure the stability of the angle between the cutting knife and the ground, prevent the cutting knife from entering the soil, and keep the cutting height consistent.

[0023] The integral wave-shaped sliding shoe can increase the ground contact area of the cutting table, reduce the pressure on the ground under the same conditions, reduce the sinking depth of the cutting table on the soil surface, thereby reducing the work of overcoming the bulldozing resistance during the operation of the harvester, and reducing the overall energy consumption. The wave-shaped sliding shoe structure simulates the surface morphology characteristics of earthworms, which can reduce the contact area between the sliding shoe and the soil during profiling, reduce the sliding resistance generated by the movement of the soil relative to the sliding shoe, and simultaneously the wave-shaped sliding shoe can exert periodic external force on the soil along the normal direction of the contact surface, so that the soil is subjected to micro-vibration, the soil block structure is destroyed, soil adhesion is prevented, and resistance reduction is achieved.

The oil in the rodless chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 flows back to the oil tank through the overflow valve 42, keeping the oil pressure in the rodless chamber low. When the cutter touches the ground, the rod chamber oil is unloaded. The two-position two-way electromagnetic directional valve 38 is in the right position, the high-pressure oil in the rod chamber is connected to the oil tank, and the oil pressure in the rod chamber is lowered. At this time, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 has different oil pressures and cross-sectional areas at both ends of the piston, and the forces at both ends of the piston are balanced, so the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 does not provide additional traction to the cutter 26. After the rod chamber is unloaded, the two-position two-way electromagnetic directional valve 38 is in the left position. At this time, the accumulator 29, the accumulator 32, and the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 form a closed oil circuit.

[0045] When the mower meets a convex gentle slope, the four-bar linkage profiling mechanism moves upward under the action of the ground support force, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 32 is stretched, the second accumulator 32 absorbs the oil released from the rod cavity, and when the cutting platform 26 completes the profiling action, the oil is squeezed to the rod cavity of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 by the air pressure in the accumulator. Under the action of gravity and the traction force of the cutting platform, the cutting platform descends to the profiling front position, realizing the positioning of the cutting platform.

[0046] When the mower meets a convex gentle slope, the four-bar linkage profiling mechanism moves upward under the action of the ground support force, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 32 is stretched, the second accumulator 32 absorbs the oil released from the rod cavity, and when the cutting platform 26 completes the profiling action, the oil is squeezed to the rod cavity of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 31 by the air pressure in the accumulator. Under the action of gravity and the traction force of the cutting platform, the cutting platform descends to the profiling front position, realizing the positioning of the cutting platform.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6 The cutting tool angle self-adaptive adjusting device IV includes a sliding shoe suspension 17, a limiting sleeve 18, a floating compression spring 19, a movable sliding block 20, and a sliding shoe support 21. The rear end of the sliding shoe suspension 17 is provided with a support plate and a bearing side plate, which are welded on the bearing side plate 16 of the connecting rod type profiling device I. The front end of the sliding shoe suspension 17 is provided with a hinged support frame, and the movable sliding block 20 is hinged to the sliding shoe suspension 17 through rivets. The limiting sleeve 18 is welded on the upper end of the sliding shoe suspension 17, and the limiting sleeve 18 is sleeved on the rod structure of the movable sliding block 20. The floating compression spring 19 is fixed at both ends to the movable sliding block 20 and the limiting sleeve 18, respectively.

[0048] When the cutting platform 26 performs the profiling action, if the angle between the cutter head and the ground deviates from the set angle, the cutting platform 26 can rotate around the sliding shoe suspension 17 together with the sliding shoe, so that the angle between the cutter blade on the cutter head and the ground is adjusted back to the set value, thereby preventing the cutting tool from entering the soil and ensuring the consistency of the stubble height.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the resistance-reducing sliding shoe device V includes rear fixed frame 22, wave-shaped plate 23, wedge-shaped plate 24, upper cover plate 25; the rear fixed frame 22 is welded at the lower end of the sliding shoe support 21, the rear end of the wave-shaped plate 23 is welded with the front end of the rear fixed frame 22, the rear end of the wedge-shaped plate 24 is welded with the front end of the wave-shaped plate 23, the front end of the upper cover plate 25 is welded with the front end of the wedge-shaped plate 24, and the rear end of the upper cover plate 25 is welded with the cutter header 26. The integrated wedge-shaped plate 24 and wave-shaped plate 23 structure can increase the actual ground contact area of the cutter header 26, reduce the ground pressure ratio of the cutter header 26, reduce the sliding resistance when the harvester advances, and can reduce the sinking depth of the cutter header 26 on the soil surface, reduce the work of the cutter header 26 to overcome the earthmoving resistance, reduce energy consumption, and improve efficiency; the specific curved surface of the wedge-shaped plate 24 can reduce the sliding resistance of the wedge-shaped plate 24; the wave-shaped plate 23 can reduce the contact area between the resistance-reducing sliding shoe and the soil when profiling, and reduce the sliding resistance generated by the movement of the soil relative to the resistance-reducing sliding shoe.

[0050] The auxiliary positioning system and the profiling cutter provided by the application are designed based on the movement law of the connecting rod mechanism and by using digital simulation means on the basis of the existing mower harvesting device. The wave-shaped sliding shoe is designed based on the biological movement characteristics of earthworms in the soil, and the existing planar sliding shoe is simulated and optimized. An auxiliary positioning system is provided to assist the cutter in positioning after profiling. A four-bar cutter and a hydraulic reset mechanism thereof are provided, which are simple in structure, convenient to operate, good in profiling effect, and low in cost.

[0051] The profiling mechanism main body is a space connecting rod type profiling mechanism, the cutter is hinged on the tractor support beam and can rotate around the hinge point, the floating tension spring adjusting device is hingedly connected between the side connecting frame and the lower hinge frame at both ends, the cutter header pressure can be adjusted, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder with an accumulator can control the lifting of the cutter header to switch the transportation state and the working state of the cutter header, and the positioning of the cutter header after profiling can be ensured. The cutter angle self-adaptive adjusting device can ensure the stability of the angle between the cutter and the ground, prevent the cutter from entering the soil, and maintain the consistency of the cutting height, can self-adaptively adjust the angle with the ground within a certain range, the integrated wave-shaped sliding shoe reduces the contact area between the sliding shoe and the soil, and realizes the resistance reduction of the sliding shoe.

[0052] The three-position four-way control valve is a main control valve, directly driving a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. When it is needed to lift the header for the purpose of the transfer of the harvesting machine, manual adjustment is made to place the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve in the left position, the hydraulic pump inputs oil to the rodless chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic rod extends outward, and pushes the header to rise. When the header is lifted to the target position, the three-position four-way electromagnetic valve is in the middle position, and the header is stabilized at the target height. The three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve is in the right position, the hydraulic pump inputs oil to the rod chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder through the pressure reducing valve, the hydraulic cylinder contracts, and pulls the header to descend. When the header reaches the working height after touching the ground, the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve is in the middle position, and the double-acting hydraulic cylinder forms a closed oil circuit with the first accumulator and the second accumulator. When the mower encounters a convex gentle slope during operation, the four-bar linkage profiling mechanism moves upward under the action of the ground support force, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder is stretched, and the second accumulator absorbs the oil released from the rod chamber. After the header completes the profiling action, the air pressure in the accumulator is relied on to squeeze the oil to the rod chamber of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, so that the header is positioned after the profiling action. When the mower encounters a concave gentle slope during operation, the four-bar linkage profiling mechanism compresses the double-acting hydraulic cylinder under the action of the header gravity, and at this time, the first accumulator absorbs the oil released from the rod chamber. When passing over the concave part, the ground support force makes the header rise, and the positioning is completed.

[0053] Overall, the consumption material space is saved, the high-quality harvesting of alfalfa forage is provided with favorable conditions, the cost and operation time are greatly reduced, the operation efficiency is improved, good economic benefit and social benefit are obtained, and the application has a very broad market prospect.
