Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of a threshing device of a combine harvester, and more particularly to a threshing cylinder with variable threshing gap. BACKGROUND

[0002] The threshing and separating device is the core of the combine harvester and plays a decisive role in the working performance of the whole machine. Threshing gap, feed rate and rotation speed of the threshing cylinder are important parameters affecting the working performance of the threshing and separating device. The feed rate of the combine harvester is affected by factors such as machine forward speed, cutting width, cutting stubble height, crop yield, stem moisture content, grain moisture content, and straw-grain ratio. Currently, the forward speed is controlled by the operator's experience to adjust the feed rate, which is difficult to maintain the rated feed rate. When the combine harvester is working under non-rated feed rate, the optimal threshing gap should be matched to make the threshing effect of the combine harvester best. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a threshing and separating device with adjustable threshing gap, study the matching relationship between the feed rate and the threshing gap, and adjust the threshing gap in time according to the feed rate to effectively improve the threshing performance under non-rated working conditions.

[0003] Currently, domestic and foreign enterprises have carried out related research on the threshing gap. However, almost all of them use adjusting concave plates to adjust the threshing gap, which changes the volume of the threshing chamber and affects the separation operation. The LEXION 780 combine harvester developed by German Claas has an automatic threshing system that automatically optimizes the rotation speed of the threshing cylinder and the threshing gap according to the crop harvesting conditions. Bo Zhuhai and Zhang Xueqiang designed a threshing gap adjusting mechanism for manual adjustment of the cut-flow threshing and separating device, which can be flexibly adjusted according to experience for different crops. Zhang Chengwen designed a load monitoring system for the threshing and separating device by using a structure in which one end of the concave screen is hinged to a hydraulic cylinder and the other end rotates around the hinge point, which can automatically increase the threshing gap for unblocking operation when blocking occurs. Wang Dianzhong invented a threshing and separating device with adjustable threshing gap in which the four corners of the concave screen are hinged to a hydraulic cylinder. Li Yaoming et al. studied a threshing and separating device with multiple cylinders supported by a hydraulic cylinder at the bottom of the concave screen.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a new type of threshing cylinder with adjustable threshing gap to avoid the problem of changing the threshing space and affecting the threshing and separation performance caused by adjusting the concave plate to adjust the threshing gap. SUMMARY
