Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to an omnidirectional adaptive leveling device for the chassis of a small rice and wheat harvester for high-altitude mountainous areas. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the overall mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in hilly and mountainous areas is only 55%, far below the national average of approximately 75%. The complex terrain of hilly and mountainous areas, with its rugged roads, steep slopes, narrow paths, and fragmented, discontinuous plots, makes it difficult for traditional medium-to-large agricultural machinery from plains areas to adapt. Power machinery and operating machinery, due to undulating terrain, high center of gravity, large dynamic changes in center of gravity position, and large chassis pitch angles, suffer from poor driver visibility, difficulty in maintaining stability of the vehicle body and operating components, and high operational difficulty. This results in poor operational stability, low operational efficiency, and even the risk of serious safety accidents such as tilting, sinking, and overturning, severely affecting operational quality, threatening the lives of operators, and hindering the development of agricultural mechanization and modernization. In terms of the adaptability of agricultural equipment to slope, traditional agricultural machinery can basically meet the operational needs for terrain below 6°; hilly terrain of 6°~15° is suitable for small and medium-sized agricultural machinery; sloping terrain of 15°~25° is only suitable for small agricultural machinery; and steep slopes exceeding 25° are not suitable for mechanized operations. Therefore, the "agricultural machinery problem in hilly and mountainous areas" mainly refers to the mechanization problem in hilly and mountainous areas with a slope of 6° to 25°. Due to these problems in hilly and mountainous areas, there is an urgent need to develop and design an adaptive chassis leveling device suitable for rice and wheat harvesters in high-altitude and mountainous areas.

The slider rocker mechanism 11 is used to adjust the height of the rear end of the chassis 9. The harvesting assembly includes a reel 4, which is hinged to a header 5. The header 5 is hinged to a threshing drum 3, which is hinged to a chassis 9. A blower 2 is bolted to the chassis 9. A discharge port 1 is bolted to the blower 2. A seat 13 is hinged to the chassis 9. A slider rocker mechanism 11 is bolted to the chassis 9. A rear wheel 12 is bolted to the slider rocker mechanism 11. An engine 8 is bolted to the chassis 9. A motor 17 is installed at the front end of the chassis 9. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to a coupling 18. The motor 17 is driven by the battery 16. The output end of the coupling 18 is connected to the eccentric wheel swing mechanism 7. The motor 17 is bolted to both sides of the chassis 9, and the coupling 18 is keyed to the motor, driving the worm gear to rotate, as detailed below.

The worm 19 is fixedly installed at the output end of the coupling 18. The worm wheel 20 is keyed to one side of the outer chain plate 23 and is connected to the worm 19. The outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 are bolted together. The driven chain shaft 21 is transitionally fitted with the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 (in the actual installation process, it is installed with bearings). A drive shaft 22 is installed at one end of the driven chain shaft 21. The drive wheel 6 and drive shaft 22 are mounted on the front side of the chassis 9 and are driven by the gearbox 25. The drive shaft 22 is transitionally fitted with the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 (in the specific installation process, it is installed with bearings). Through the drive motor 17, the coupling 18 can be driven, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate relative to the chassis 9. After the worm gear 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate relative to the chassis 9, thereby lifting or lowering the wheel on that side. In this embodiment, the eccentric wheel oscillation mechanism 7 can be divided into a left eccentric wheel oscillation mechanism and a right eccentric wheel oscillation mechanism. Their specific structures and functions are exactly the same. The following is a separate discussion of the driving process of the left eccentric wheel oscillation mechanism and the right eccentric wheel oscillation mechanism: The eccentric wheel swing mechanism on the left side includes a worm 19, a worm wheel 20, a driven chain shaft 21, a drive shaft 22 on the left side, an outer chain plate 23, and an inner chain plate 24. The worm 19 is keyed to the coupling. The worm wheel 20 meshes with the worm 19. The worm wheel 20 is keyed to the outer chain plate 23. The outer chain plate 23 is bolted to the inner chain plate 24. The drive shaft 22 on the left side is mounted on the inner chain plate 24 and the outer chain plate 23 (in the actual installation process, it is installed with bearings). The driven chain shaft 21 is mounted on the inner chain plate 24 and the outer chain plate 23 (in the actual installation process, it is installed with bearings). Through the drive motor 17, the coupling 18 can be driven, which in turn drives the worm 19 to rotate relative to the chassis 9. After the worm 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate relative to the chassis 9, thereby lifting or lowering the wheel on that side. The eccentric wheel swing mechanism on the right side includes a worm 19, a worm wheel 20, a driven chain shaft 21, a drive shaft 22 on the right side, an outer chain plate 23, and an inner chain plate 24. The worm 19 is keyed to the coupling. The worm wheel 20 is geared to the worm 19. The worm wheel 20 is keyed to the outer chain plate 23. The outer chain plate 23 is bolted to the inner chain plate 24. The drive shaft 22 on the right side is mounted on the inner chain plate 24 and the outer chain plate 23 (in the specific installation process, it is installed with bearings). The driven chain shaft 21 is mounted on the inner chain plate 24 and the outer chain plate 23 (in the specific installation process, it is installed with bearings). Through the drive motor 17, the coupling 18 can be driven, which in turn drives the worm 19 to rotate relative to the chassis 9. After the worm 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate relative to the chassis 9, thereby lifting or lowering the wheel on that side. In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown, when the chassis 9 is in a horizontal position, neither the worm 19 nor the worm wheel 20 moves, and the position of the worm wheel 20 connected to the outer chain plate 23 points to the front of the chassis; like Figure 2 As shown, the eccentric wheel swing mechanism on the left drives the motor 17, which can drive the coupling 18 along... Figure 2 The position shown rotates counterclockwise, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the chassis 9. After the worm gear 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate counterclockwise. After the worm wheel 20 rotates, it drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate counterclockwise. After being lifted by the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24, it drives the right drive wheel 6 to lift. Similarly, because the eccentric wheel swing mechanism on the right drives the motor 17, it can drive the coupling 18 to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 2The position shown rotates clockwise, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate clockwise relative to the chassis 9. After the worm gear 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate clockwise. After the worm wheel 20 rotates, it drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate clockwise. After the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 descend, they drive the left drive wheel 6 to move down, and the entire vehicle body shifts to the right. The eccentric wheel swing mechanism on the right side drives the motor 17, which can drive the coupling 18 along... Figure 2 The position shown rotates counterclockwise, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the chassis 9. After the worm gear 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate counterclockwise. After the worm wheel 20 rotates, it drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate counterclockwise. After being lifted by the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24, it drives the left drive wheel 6 to lift. Similarly, because the left eccentric wheel swing mechanism drives the motor 17, it can drive the coupling 18 to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 2 The position shown is rotated clockwise, which in turn causes the worm gear 19 to rotate clockwise relative to the chassis 9. After the worm gear 19 rotates, it causes the worm wheel 20 to rotate clockwise. After the worm wheel 20 rotates, it causes the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate clockwise. After the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 descend, they cause the right drive wheel 6 to move down, and the entire vehicle body shifts to the left.
[0015] The drive shaft 22 is keyed to the outer end of the drive sprocket 31, and the driven sprocket 21 is keyed to the outer end of the driven sprocket 32. The outer ends of the drive sprocket 31 and the driven sprocket 32 are connected to a chain 26, which transmits power from the drive sprocket 31 to the driven sprocket 32 and outputs it to the drive wheel 6 through the driven sprocket 21.
[0016] The slider rocker mechanism 11 includes an upper rocker 27, a lower rocker 28, and a rear wheel floating bracket 30. The upper rocker 27 is bolted to the bottom of the chassis 9, the lower rocker 28 is hinged to the upper rocker 27, and the rear wheel floating bracket 30 is bolted to the lower rocker 28. Rear wheels 12 are installed on both sides of the rear wheel floating bracket 30.
[0017] An electric cylinder 29 is hinged to the middle of the upper rocker arm 27, and the output end of the electric cylinder 29 is hinged to the lower rocker arm 28. The electric cylinder 29 is electrically connected to the battery 16. like Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the eccentric wheel swing mechanisms on both sides simultaneously drive the motor 17, which can drive the coupling 18 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the worm 19 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the chassis 9. After the worm 19 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 20 to rotate. After the worm wheel rotates, it drives the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. After the outer chain plate 23 and the inner chain plate 24 are lifted or lowered, the drive wheel 6 is lifted or lowered. During the process of lifting or lowering the drive wheel 6, the slider rocker mechanism 1 1. Drive electric cylinder 29. Electric cylinder 29 extends or retracts, thereby driving lower rocker arm 28 to rise or fall. Lower rocker arm 28 rises or falls, driving rear wheel floating bracket 30. After being raised or fallen by swing mechanism and slider rocker mechanism 11, it drives chassis 9 to rise or fall. When outer chain plate 23 and inner chain plate 24 are lifted, driving drive wheel 6 to rise, at the same time the slider rocker mechanism drives electric cylinder 29. Electric cylinder 29 extends, driving chassis 9 to rise, thereby increasing ground clearance. Similarly, ground clearance can be shortened. This invention relates to a small-scale rice and wheat harvester for high-altitude mountainous areas. While conforming to ergonomic principles, its steering is controlled by a foot pedal 10 (the process of controlling direction with the foot pedal 10 is a common technology and is not emphasized here, as it is easily implemented by those skilled in the art), thus reducing costs. This chassis leveling device enables stable driving and operation in various terrains, improving stability, increasing rice and wheat harvesting efficiency, reducing machine damage and operating time, minimizing damage to soil and vegetation, protecting arable land resources, and reducing the impact on the ecosystem. This device can achieve the maximum fuselage size Left and right tilt leveling function, maximum Forward tilt, maximum The device features dynamic leveling capability with a tilt angle of 0-112.7mm (minimum body 88.5mm - maximum 201.2mm). At normal driving speeds, the vehicle tilt angle can be controlled within ±2°, and the swing angle difference of the swing mechanism can be controlled within ±1°, adapting to slopes of less than 15 degrees. This chassis leveling device enables stable driving and operation on various terrains, improving stability, increasing rice and wheat harvesting efficiency, reducing machine damage and operating time, minimizing damage to soil and vegetation, protecting arable land resources, and reducing the impact on the ecosystem.
