Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and particularly relates to a self-propelled corn harvester. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mechanized harvesting of corn crops has been gradually popularized. In the Northeast and Northwest regions, due to diverse planting patterns and harsh climates, there are many lodging plants. Among the existing self-propelled corn harvesters in China, the unfavorable factors for corn mechanized harvesting are as follows: 1) The planting row spacing is diverse, making it difficult for the harvester to align with the rows and resulting in a high loss rate. 2) There are many engineering defects in the operation of the operator controlling the robot machine, and the operation is inconvenient. 3) The storage and transportation of the grains generated during the peeling process are restricted by the transportation tools, leading to low efficiency. 4) Since the nutrient levels of the cultivated soil in China are uneven and the farming is family-based with small single-piece land areas, the existing harvesters have a compact structure, high turnover frequency of the grain bins, and low harvesting efficiency.

[0003] In the market, the existing grain bin is set at the bottom of the peeling machine with a very small volume. The corn machine needs to frequently stop to clean the grains, resulting in low harvesting efficiency.

[0004] In recent years, with the increasing support of the country for agriculture, the demand of the vast number of farmers for more reasonably designed and more efficient machines has become more urgent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical measures: A self-propelled corn harvester, comprising a ear picking header, a elevating system, a peeling machine, a grain bin, a stubble returning mechanism, a frame, a driving axle, a steering axle, a hydraulic drive system, a transmission system, a driving and operating system, a power system, an electrical system, and a protection system; The ear picking header adopts an ear picking plate structure, and includes a reel chain, ear picking plates, pulling rollers, and a reel chain automatic tensioning mechanism; The peeling machine is provided with an outer grain bin, and is connected to a bottom grain bin through a grain conveying mechanism; The grain bin includes a grain bin main body, a fixed frame, an extended slide plate, an oil cylinder, a movable baffle, and an extended slide plate; the extended slide plate is above the grain bin main body, and the movable baffle is arranged on the side of the grain bin main body for interfering with the accumulation of ears and improving the utilization rate of the grain bin volume.

[0006] As a preferred solution: The length of the front guard of the ear picking header is set to meet the ear lifting requirements of lodging plants, and the reel chain is automatically tensioned through a tensioning mechanism.

[0007] As a preferred solution: The driving and operating system includes a driving platform, a steering gear, and a glass water spraying mechanism. The glass water spraying mechanism is integrated in the middle of the steering gear or the operating block for improving the operation sight line.

[0008] As a preferred solution: The elevating system is configured with an upper blower and a lower blower. The lower blower drives the upper blower and the elevating main body through belt or chain drive, and is connected to the stalk processing mechanism.

[0009] As a preferred solution: The returning-to-field mechanism is arranged below the frame, between the drive axle and the steering axle, and the drive axle and the steering axle are connected by a front drive shaft, a connecting device and a rear drive shaft to achieve four-wheel drive power transmission.

[0010] As a preferred solution: The extension slide plate of the grain bin is arranged above the grain bin main body.

[0011] As a preferred solution: The volume of the outer grain bin of the peeling machine is larger than that of the bottom grain bin, and the grain conveying mechanism adopts a screw conveyor or a scraper conveyor device.

[0012] As a preferred solution: The protection system is arranged on both sides of the frame, covers the transmission components and hydraulic pipelines, and adopts a detachable guard plate structure.

[0013] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. High-efficiency ear picking and improved adaptability: In Northeast and Northwest China, due to diverse planting and harsh climates, there are many lodged plants. This mechanism adopts an ear picking plate structure, is provided with an automatic tensioning mechanism for the reel chain, and uses a longer front shield of the cutting table to complete the function of lifting the lodged plants, improving the harvesting efficiency and capacity.

[0014] 2. Optimized operation sight: The driving control system integrates a glass water spraying mechanism, which can quickly clean the front windshield, ensure clear operation sight, and improve the human-machine interaction.

[0015] 3. Enhanced grain storage capacity: The existing grain bins on the market are set at the bottom of the peeling machine with a very small volume. The corn harvester needs to frequently stop to clean the grain bins, resulting in low harvesting efficiency. To solve the problem of improving the harvesting efficiency, a larger outer grain bin is set outside the peeling machine, which can reduce the number of times of cleaning the grain bins.

[0016] 4. Improved utilization rate of the grain bin volume: Affected by the planting mode, the corn harvester is relatively compact to adapt to this mode, and it is limited to expand the volume of the grain bin. The natural throwing and piling of the ears of corn result in a small utilization rate of the grain bin, which will inevitably increase the number of times of unloading grain, reduce the single harvesting time, and lower the efficiency. Adding a conveying mechanism to the grain bin interferes with the process of ear piling, increases the utilization rate of the grain bin volume, effectively extends the single harvesting time, and improves the harvesting efficiency.

[0017] 5. Stability of power transmission: The drive axle and the steering axle are connected by the rear drive shaft and the front drive shaft, supporting the four-wheel drive mode to ensure stable power output under complex terrains.

[0018] 6. Upgrade of the protection system: Detachable guards are provided on both sides of the frame to cover key transmission components and hydraulic pipelines, reducing the failure rate and facilitating maintenance.
