Intermittent conveying mechanism for corn header

Abstract

The present invention discloses an intermittent conveying mechanism for a corn harvester, which includes a loading hopper and a flip drive. The end of the corn harvester's conveying channel, the initial position of the loading hopper, and the height of the receiving base plate at the bottom of the auger are arranged in a high and low state in sequence. Corn falls from the end of the conveying channel to the loading hopper for receiving. The flip drive is arranged below the loading hopper for intermittently driving the loading hopper to flip backward and reset forward. When the idle position of the auger rotates to a position corresponding to the loading hopper, the flip drive drives the loading hopper to flip backward, causing the corn on the loading hopper to dump backward into the idle position of the auger, and continue to be transported as the auger continues to rotate. The present invention dumps the corn from the loading hopper at the end of the conveying channel into the idle position of the auger, avoiding collision between the corn and the edges of the auger's physical spiral blades, ensuring stable and orderly conveying of the corn, ensuring the corn harvest yield, and reducing losses.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to agricultural machinery and equipment, and more particularly to an intermittent conveying mechanism for a corn cutting platform. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the corn harvester's corn cutting table has multiple groups of cutting and conveying channels. After the cutting table cuts off the root stalks of the corn, the cutting part at the bottom of each group of conveying channels pulls the entire corn stalk downward and cuts it. The corn on the stalk is blocked by the blocking part and conveyed to the end auger. The auger collects several groups of corn and conveys them to the discharge port on one side. However, when the corn enters the auger, there is a risk of collision with the edge of the continuously rotating auger. If a hard collision or squeezing occurs, the corn itself will be directly damaged, resulting in a decrease in the yield of corn harvesting, which is a direct economic loss for the user. Compared with ordinary belt conveying mechanisms, the auger has many advantages such as simple structure, wide conveying coverage, and no impurities stuck in the structural gap. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the corn cutting table with an auger conveying structure to avoid damage to the corn by the auger. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intermittent conveying mechanism for corn harvesting, thereby avoiding the defects of the above existing technology, reducing damage to corn, and improving the yield of corn harvest.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an intermittent conveying mechanism for a corn cutting platform, comprising a cutting platform bracket, a plurality of cutting parts arranged horizontally at the front of the cutting platform bracket, guide walls for guiding the corn stalks to the corresponding cutting parts are arranged on both sides of the cutting parts, a conveying channel is formed on the upper part of the cutting part and corn blocking parts are arranged on both sides of the conveying channel, an auger is arranged horizontally at the end of the conveying channel, a discharge port is arranged at the rear side of one end of the auger, an intermittent conveying mechanism is further arranged between the end of the conveying channel and the auger, the intermittent conveying mechanism comprises a loading hopper and a turning drive member, the end of the conveying channel, The initial position of the loading hopper and the height of the material receiving base plate at the bottom of the auger are arranged in sequence in a high and low state. The corn falls from the end of the conveying channel to the loading hopper for receiving. The flip drive is arranged under the loading hopper to intermittently drive the loading hopper to flip backward and reset forward. When the idle gear of the auger rotates to the position corresponding to the loading hopper, the flip drive drives the loading hopper to flip backward, so that the corn on the loading hopper pours backward into the idle gear of the auger, and continues to be transported as the auger continues to rotate; after the loading hopper is reset forward by the flip drive, it will receive the next batch of corn.

[0005] As an improvement, the flipping drive component includes an arc-shaped arm, a driving gear and a driving motor. The arc-shaped arm can be slidably set in an arc-shaped track. A loading hopper is set on the upper part of the arc-shaped arm. A rack is set on the arc-shaped surface of one side of the arc-shaped arm and is engaged with the driving gear for transmission. The driving motor is connected to the driving gear for transmission. When the driving motor is running, it drives the arc-shaped arm and the loading hopper thereon to perform arc motion.

[0006] As an improvement, the flipping drive component includes an arc-shaped arm, a driving gear, a driving rack and a driving cylinder. The arc-shaped arm can be slidably set in an arc-shaped track. A loading hopper is set on the upper part of the arc-shaped arm. A rack is set on the arc-shaped surface of one side of the arc-shaped arm and is engaged with the driving gear for transmission. The cylinder shaft of the driving cylinder is connected to the driving rack and is engaged with the driving gear through the driving rack for transmission. When the driving cylinder is running, the arc-shaped arm and the loading hopper thereon are driven to perform an arc motion.

[0007] As an improvement, a number of rollers or gears that contact and cooperate with the arc arm are provided on the upper and lower arc walls of the arc track. When the arc arm moves in an arc along the arc track, the arc arm is rolled and supported by the rollers relative to the arc arm or by the gears that engage and roll with the rack.

[0008] As an improvement, the loading hopper has vertical walls on both sides and front and rear inclined walls. The front inclined wall is used for corn to slide from the end of the conveying channel to the loading hopper, and the rear inclined wall is used for the corn to pour backwards into the auger after the loading hopper is flipped backwards.

[0009] As an improvement, the loading hopper is further provided with a downwardly extending arc-shaped blocking wall on the side facing the conveying channel. When the loading hopper flips backward to dump the corn, the blocking wall rises to the end of the corresponding conveying channel to block the corn.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that it avoids the possible damage caused by the traditional structure of directly transporting corn to the auger. By first buffering the corn and then transferring the corn from the loading hopper at the end of the conveying channel to the empty space of the auger, the collision between the corn and the edge of the spiral blade of the auger is avoided, and the corn is transported stably and orderly, which ensures the corn harvest yield and reduces losses.

[0015] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 、 2 , 3, and 4 are specific embodiments of the intermittent conveying mechanism of the corn cutting table of the present invention. The drawings only express the mutual coordination relationship between the structures. The positions and size ratios of the specific structures can be reasonably adjusted according to the actual product conditions, and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] The specific embodiment includes a header bracket 1, a plurality of cutting parts 2 are horizontally arranged at the front of the header bracket 1, guide walls 3 for guiding corn stalks to the corresponding cutting parts 2 are arranged on both sides of the cutting parts 2, a conveying channel 4 is formed on the upper part of the cutting part 2 and corn blocking parts 41 are arranged on both sides of the conveying channel 4, an auger 5 is horizontally arranged at the end of the conveying channel 4, a discharge port 6 is arranged at the rear side of one end of the auger 5, an intermittent conveying mechanism 7 is also arranged between the end of the conveying channel 4 and the auger 5, the intermittent conveying mechanism 7 includes a loading hopper 71 and a flip driving member 72, the end of the conveying channel 4, the initial position of the loading hopper 71, the bottom of the auger 5 The heights of the receiving bottom plates 51 are arranged in a high-low state. The corn falls from the end of the conveying channel 4 to the loading hopper 71 for receiving. The flip driving member 72 is arranged below the loading hopper 71 for intermittently driving the loading hopper 71 to flip backward and reset forward. When the idle gear of the auger 5 rotates to the position corresponding to the loading hopper 71, the flip driving member 72 drives the loading hopper 71 to flip backward, so that the corn on the loading hopper 71 pours backward into the idle gear of the auger 5, and continues to be conveyed as the auger 5 continues to rotate; after the loading hopper 71 is reset forward by the flip driving member 72, it receives the next batch of corn.

[0018] When the present invention is in use, the header bracket 1 is installed on the front of the main body of the harvester. The user drives the corn harvester to the corn plant to be harvested. As the corn harvester moves forward, the corn stalks are gathered to the middle by the guide walls 3 on both sides to the cutting part 2. The cutting part 2 is a pair of cutting shafts, which rotate relative to each other to pull the corn stalks downward and cut them. After the corn cobs on the stalks are cut off, they are blocked by the corn blocking part 41. As the harvester moves forward and the corn plants and corn entering the conveying channel 4 are pushed backward, the corn conveyed to the conveying channel 4 by multiple groups of corn conveyors 4 arrives. The corn falls to the loading hopper 71 for collection at the end of the conveying channel 4. The driving of the loading hopper 71 by the flipping driving member 72 can be set according to the number of rotations of the auger 5. For example, the auger 5 rotates one or two circles as a cycle. After running one or two circles, when the auger 5 of the next circle runs to the loading hopper 71 facing forward in the idle space, the flipping driving member 72 starts to flip the loading hopper 71 backward, and the corn is poured backward into the idle space of the auger 5. As the auger 5 continues to rotate, the corn poured from the loading hopper 71 is transported along the auger 5 to the discharge port 6 at the output end. The so-called idle space of the auger 5, i.e., the portion of the spiral blades above the circumference, is determined by the rotational speed of the auger 5 to determine the timing of the idle space corresponding to the front loading hopper 71 to complete the backward flipping and dumping of the corn, which can effectively avoid the hard collision between the corn and the auger 5; after the loading hopper 71 is reset forward, the next batch of corn can be received, and after the auger 5 has completed one or two revolutions, the corresponding idle space continues to flip and dump backward. The corn transportation method of the present invention also realizes the intermittent output of corn, that is, within the rated time of one or two revolutions of the auger 5, the corn is first collected at the loading hopper 71, and then transported into the auger 5 for delivery to the output end. It well determines the wave number of corn transported in the auger 5, and the corn arriving at the discharge port 6 and sent to the subsequent process is orderly and within a certain range, which is convenient for the processing of the subsequent process, and avoids the congestion and squeezing of corn caused by a large wave of corn entering the auger 5 and being transported from the discharge port 6 to the subsequent process. Overall, the corn harvest yield rate is guaranteed and the loss is reduced.

[0019] As an improved specific embodiment, the flip driving member 72 includes an arc-shaped arm 721, a driving gear 722 and a driving motor 723. The arc-shaped arm 721 can be slidably set in an arc-shaped track 724. The loading hopper 71 is set on the upper part of the arc-shaped arm 721. A rack is set on the arc-shaped surface of one side of the arc-shaped arm 721 and is engaged with the driving gear 722 for transmission. The driving motor 723 is connected to the driving gear 722 for transmission. When the driving motor 723 is running, it drives the arc-shaped arm 721 and the loading hopper 71 thereon to perform an arc motion.

[0020] like Figure 3As shown, in the first embodiment, an arc-shaped space is formed by an arc track 724 for the arc-shaped arm 721 to move in a circular motion along the arc. A rack is provided on the inner or outer arc surface thereof, which is externally connected to the drive motor 723 through a meshing drive gear 722 for transmission. The forward or reverse rotation of the drive motor 723 can flexibly control the extension and retraction of the arc-shaped arm 721, thereby controlling the backward flipping and forward reset of the loading hopper 71. The movement of the arc-shaped arm 721 within the arc track 724 stably realizes the dumping of corn from the loading hopper 71. Due to its stable state, it does not cause any shaking when the harvester is in operation, allowing the loading hopper 71 to complete the dumping accurately.

[0021] As an improved specific embodiment, the flip driving member 72 includes an arc-shaped arm 721, a driving gear 722, a driving rack 727 and a driving cylinder 728. The arc-shaped arm 721 can be slidably set in an arc-shaped track 724. The loading hopper 71 is set on the upper part of the arc-shaped arm 721. A rack is set on the arc-shaped surface of one side of the arc-shaped arm 721 and is engaged with the driving gear 722 for transmission. The cylinder shaft of the driving cylinder 728 is connected to the driving rack 727 and is engaged with the driving gear 722 through the driving rack 727. When the driving cylinder 728 is running, it drives the arc-shaped arm 721 and the loading hopper 71 thereon to perform an arc motion.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, in the second embodiment, an arc-shaped space is formed by an arc track 724 for the arc-shaped arm 721 to move in a circular motion along the arc. A rack is provided on the inner or outer arc surface thereof. The meshing drive gear 722 is connected to the drive rack 727 and the drive cylinder 728 in sequence for transmission. By extending or retracting the drive cylinder 728, the extension and retraction of the arc-shaped arm 721 can be accurately controlled, thereby controlling the backward flipping and forward reset of the loading hopper 71. The movement of the arc-shaped arm 721 in the arc track 724 stably realizes the dumping of corn from the loading hopper 71. Due to its stable state, it does not cause any shaking when the harvester is in operation, allowing the loading hopper 71 to complete the dumping accurately.

[0023] As an improved specific implementation method, a number of rollers 725 or gear rolls 726 that contact and cooperate with the arc arm 721 are provided on the upper and lower arc walls of the arc track 724. When the arc arm 721 moves in an arc along the arc track 724, the arc arm 721 is rolled and supported by the number of rollers 725 relative to the arc arm 721 or the number of gear rolls 726 are engaged with the rack for rolling support.

[0024] like Figure 3 、 4As shown, in order to further improve the smoothness of the movement of the arc-shaped arm 721 and reduce the wear between the structures, a number of rollers 725 or gear hobs 726 are further provided. The setting method can be to set a groove body on the inner side of the arc-shaped track 724 and install it through a rotating shaft, set the gear hobs 726 on the side with the rack, and set the rollers 725 on the side of the arc surface. The number of rollers 725 can be set according to the specific arc length interval of the arc-shaped arm 721 to achieve a balance between performance and cost.

[0025] As an improved specific embodiment, the loading hopper 71 has vertical walls on both sides and front and rear inclined walls 711. The front inclined wall 711 is used for the corn to slide from the end of the conveying channel 4 to the loading hopper 71, and the rear inclined wall 711 is used for the corn to pour backwards into the auger 5 after the loading hopper 71 is flipped backwards.

[0026] like Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the vertical walls on both sides are used for normal corn positioning. As an optimization, the front and rear inclined walls 711 allow the corn to roll, that is, the front inclined wall 711 buffers the corn falling at the end of the conveying channel 4 to make it slide down, and the rear inclined wall 711 guides the corn to slide and fall toward the auger 5 after the loading hopper 71 flips backward, making the transfer of corn smoother. The figure is only a structural diagram. In actual implementation, the slope of the inclined wall 711 can be set to be more inclined according to the situation to meet the needs of receiving and transporting.

[0027] As an improved specific embodiment, the loading hopper 71 is further provided with a downwardly extending arc-shaped blocking wall 712 on the side facing the conveying channel 4. When the loading hopper 71 flips backward to dump the corn, the blocking wall 712 rises to the end of the corresponding conveying channel 4 to block the corn.

[0028] like Figure 3 、 4 As shown, after the loading hopper 71 rises, the arc-shaped blocking wall 712 rises to effectively block the end of the conveying channel 4, ensuring that the corn is blocked in an orderly manner. After the loading hopper 71 and the arc-shaped blocking wall 712 descend, the loading hopper 71 can continue to receive the corn falling at the end of the conveying channel 4.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions based on the principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
