Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corn harvesters, in particular to a novel ear picking device and a corn harvester. Background Art

[0002] Corn harvesters are widely used in corn harvesting operations. Plate-type corn harvesters are favored by operators and users for their wide adaptability, long operation time, and low grain loss. However, compared with roller-type corn harvesters, plate-type harvesters bring more debris (straw and husks) from the header into the machine body, and the rear end is occasionally blocked by straw. In order to reduce the entry of debris and blockage, the working device needs to be adjusted frequently during use, which brings many changes to users and reduces operating efficiency.

[0003] To solve this problem, it is crucial to study the positional relationship of the key working parts of the ear picking device in the harvesting platform, namely the stem pulling roller, the grass cutting knife and the rear slide of the ear picking platform. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a novel ear picking device and a corn harvester, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

The two stem pulling rollers are installed on the frame so as to rotate horizontally relative to each other; the two rear grass cutting knives are relatively fixedly installed on the frame and are located on the side of the rear of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other, and their rear ends extend respectively to the outside of the rear ends of the two stem pulling rollers.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: during the operation, the two stem pulling rollers are driven by two motors to rotate relatively, the corn stalks enter between the two stem pulling rollers, and the two stem pulling rollers pull the stalks downwards to perform the ear picking operation;

[0008] During this process, the rear end of the rear grass cutter goes deep into the rear end of the stem pulling roller, and the straw and weeds that are not removed in time by the stem pulling can be directly cut off here, avoiding the problem of ear blockage;

[0009] The utility model has a simple structure and reasonable distribution of components. Through the study of the working principle of the ear picking platform, the position relationship of key components is confirmed and optimized through field tests. By optimizing parameters, the problems of poor feeding of ear clusters and the blocking of the ear conveying channel by the rear end stalks are eliminated, thereby reducing the occurrence of personal injury accidents caused by cutting platform maintenance, improving work efficiency and enhancing user experience.

[0010] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes two front grass cutting knives, which are relatively fixedly installed on the frame and are located on the side of the front parts of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that during the operation, the two front grass cutting knives can directly cut off the straw and weeds that are not removed in time by the pulling stems, thereby avoiding the problem of fruit ear blockage. The structure is simple and the design is reasonable.

[0013] Furthermore, the two stem pulling rollers respectively include rollers, on which a plurality of blades are fixedly installed at even intervals along their own circumferences, respectively. The plurality of blades respectively extend along the axial direction of the corresponding stem pulling rollers, and are respectively distributed perpendicular to the corresponding stem pulling rollers.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that during operation, the two rollers rotate relatively, and the multiple blades rotate with the two rollers to pull the straw downwards to perform the ear picking operation.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer sides of the front ends of the plurality of blades are respectively sloped structures and form a cone structure as a whole, and the front ends of the two front grass cutting knives are respectively distributed in parallel with the front ends of the two stem pulling rollers.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are simple structure and reasonable design. The front ends of the two front grass cutting knives are respectively kept parallel to the front ends of multiple blades, ensuring that the gaps with various parts of the stem pulling roller are consistent, eliminating the problem of grass entanglement on the guide cone.

[0017] Furthermore, the plurality of blades are respectively in the form of long strip-shaped plates.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the shapes of the multiple blades are reasonably designed and are parallel to the axial direction of the roller to facilitate ear picking operations.

[0019] Furthermore, the plurality of blades each have a tooth-like structure on one side away from the corresponding stem-pulling roller.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the structure of the multiple blades is reasonably arranged, which can make the ear picking operation more efficient.

[0021] Furthermore, a rear slide plate is fixedly mounted on the frame, the rear slide plate is located at the rear end of the corresponding stem pulling roller, and its front end extends to overlap with the rear end of the stem pulling roller; the rear slide plate is located on the outer side of the corresponding rear grass cutting knife.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are simple structure and reasonable design. The rear slide plate blocks the stem pulling roller rib plate for a distance, which can reduce the entry of straw and weeds into the rear end fixing seat and avoid grass entanglement.

[0023] Furthermore, the rear slide plate is a bent plate.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the shape of the rear slide plate is reasonably designed, which is convenient for assembly and can be reasonably distributed with the stem pulling roller to avoid the problem of grass entanglement.

[0025] Furthermore, guide cones are respectively fixedly mounted on the front ends of the two stem pulling rollers.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are simple structure and reasonable design. The special structure of the guide cone can be used to quickly feed the corn stalks between the two stalk pulling rollers, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of picking ears.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a new ear picking device, including a frame 1, two stem pulling rollers and two rear grass cutting knives 2, the two stem pulling rollers are installed on the frame 1 so as to rotate horizontally relative to each other; the two rear grass cutting knives 2 are relatively fixedly installed on the frame 1, and are located on the side of the rear of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other, and the rear ends thereof extend respectively to the outside of the rear ends of the two stem pulling rollers.

[0041] During assembly, two motors are fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the driving ends of the two motors are respectively extended axially with the two stem pulling rollers, and the driving ends are respectively fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two stem pulling rollers, and are respectively used to drive the two stem pulling rollers to rotate towards each other.

[0042] During the operation, the two stem pulling rollers are driven by two motors to rotate relative to each other, and the corn stalks enter between the two stem pulling rollers, and the two stem pulling rollers pull the stalks downward to perform the ear picking operation;

[0043] During this process, the rear end of the rear grass cutting knife 2 goes deep into the rear end of the stem pulling roller, and the straw and weeds that are not removed in time by the stem pulling can be directly cut off here to avoid the problem of ear blockage;

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the two rear grass cutting knives 2 are respectively in the form of long strips, which are respectively distributed in parallel with the two stem pulling rollers, and the blades thereof are respectively oriented toward the sides of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other.

[0045] In addition, the rear ends of the two rear grass cutting knives 2 extend rearward to the rear of the rear ends of the two stem pulling rollers by a length M≥5 mm.

[0046] This embodiment has a simple structure and reasonable distribution of components. Through research on the working principle of the ear picking platform, the positional relationship of key components is confirmed and optimized through field tests. By optimizing parameters, the problems of poor ear feeding and rear end straw blocking the ear conveying channel are eliminated, thereby reducing the occurrence of personal injury accidents caused by harvesting platform maintenance, improving work efficiency and enhancing user experience.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment further includes two front grass cutting knives 3, and the two front grass cutting knives 3 are relatively fixedly installed on the frame 1, and are located on the side of the front of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other.

[0049] During the operation, the two front grass cutting knives 3 can directly cut off the straw and weeds that are not removed in time by the pulling stems, thereby avoiding the problem of fruit ear blockage. The structure is simple and the design is reasonable.

[0050] Preferably, in this embodiment, the two front grass cutting knives 3 are respectively in the form of long strips of plate-like structures, which are respectively distributed in parallel with the two stem pulling rollers, and the blades thereof face the side of the two stem pulling rollers away from each other.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] On the basis of Example 2, in this embodiment, the two stem pulling rollers respectively include rollers 4, and the two rollers 4 are respectively provided with a plurality of blades 5 evenly spaced and fixedly installed along their own circumferences. The plurality of blades 5 respectively extend along the axial direction of the corresponding stem pulling rollers, and are respectively distributed perpendicular to the corresponding stem pulling rollers.

[0053] During operation, the two rollers rotate relatively, and the plurality of blades 5 rotate along with the two rollers to pull the straw downwards to perform the ear picking operation.

[0054] Preferably, in this embodiment, each stem pulling roller is evenly spaced along its circumference with a plurality of strong tension bars, and the plurality of strong tension bars are alternately spaced with the corresponding plurality of blades 5, and extend along the axial direction of the corresponding stem pulling roller.

[0067] Alternatively, the plurality of blades 5 are in a planar structure on the side away from the corresponding stem pulling roller, but the ear picking strength of this structure is not as good as the above-mentioned solution.

[0068] In addition, the plurality of blades 5 are respectively made of materials such as cladding material or steel plates.

[0072] Preferably, in this embodiment, the overlapping length L between the front end of the rear slide plate 6 and the corresponding stem pulling roller is 10-30 mm, which reduces the possibility of grass entanglement and reduces the downtime.

[0073] Example 8

[0074] On the basis of Embodiment 7, in this embodiment, the rear slide plate 6 is a bent plate.

[0075] The shape of the rear slide plate 6 is reasonably designed, which is convenient for assembly and can be reasonably distributed with the stem pulling roller to avoid the problem of grass entanglement.

[0076] Alternatively, the rear slide plate 6 may also adopt a straight plate structure, but this structure is not as convenient to assemble as the above solution.

[0077] Example 9
