Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corn harvesters, in particular to a screening mechanism for a corn harvester. Background Technique
[0002] A corn harvester is an agricultural machinery that can complete multiple operations such as ear picking, stacking, and straw returning to the field at one time when the corn is ripe; the technological process: the corn harvester picks the ears when the corn is in a growing state. Under the action of the ear picking rollers and the ear picking plates, the ear stalks are broken; due to the height difference between the inner and outer picking rollers, the ears fall into the ear box, and when the ear box is full, the box is opened for stacking; the high-speed rotating cutter cuts the straw from the root and then enters the crushing mechanism to be cut into pieces 3 to 5 centimeters long, and the cut straw naturally falls to the ground; then the ears are transported to the field, peeled by a peeling machine, and threshed after drying.
[0003] However, for the screening mechanism of the currently used corn harvester, when the corn harvester is harvesting, the corn leaves and the corn cobs cannot be completely and thoroughly screened, and it is easy to be transported together. During transportation, due to the large area of the leaves blocking, the scattered corn kernels are easily discharged together, resulting in waste.
[0004] In view of this, in order to study and improve the existing problems, a screening mechanism for a corn harvester is provided, which has a reasonable structural design, integrates good screening effect, waste reduction, and non-clogging, reduces manpower and material resources, and greatly improves the working efficiency. The purpose is to solve the problems and improve the practical value through this technology. Content of the Utility Model

[0027] Refer to Figures 1-4, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a screening mechanism for a corn harvester, including a main body frame 1, a side plate 2 is movably connected to one side of the main body frame 1, a main shaft 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the main body frame 1, a first rotating blade 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the main shaft 3, a second rotating blade 5 is arranged on one side of the first rotating blade 4, and it rotates bidirectionally on a single shaft, shortening the conveying distance of the corn, saving time, and at the same time avoiding blockage caused by single - shaft unidirectional rotation. An activity plate 6 is movably connected to the outer wall of the main body frame 1, and a hinge 7 is movably connected to the outer wall of the activity plate 6, which is convenient for collecting the recycled corn kernels later and reducing waste. A cutting table 8 is arranged on one side of the side plate 2, a connection port 9 is arranged on the inner wall of the main body frame 1, a conveying device 10 is movably connected to the outer wall of the connection port 9, an arc - shaped plate 11 is arranged at the bottom of the main shaft 3, a feeding port 12 is arranged at the top of the arc - shaped plate 11, a recycling box 13 is movably connected to the bottom of the arc - shaped plate 11, a screening barrel 14 is arranged inside the recycling box 13, a rotating rod 15 is arranged inside the screening barrel 14, a first spiral screen 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 15, a second spiral screen 17 is arranged at the bottom of the first spiral screen 16, for stratifying and screening corn kernels of different sizes. A first discharge cavity 18 is arranged inside the recycling box 13, a second discharge cavity 19 is arranged at the bottom of the first discharge cavity 18, a discharge pipe 20 is arranged at the bottom of the screening barrel 14, for discharging the corn kernels from the inside, which is convenient for the staff to recycle. A driving motor 21 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating rod 15, a baffle 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 15, a first outlet 23 is arranged on one side of the first spiral screen 16, and a second outlet 24 is arranged on one side of the second spiral screen 17.
[0028] Specifically, both the first rotating blade 4 and the second rotating blade 5 are located on the outer wall of the main shaft 3. The first rotating blade 4 is located on the left side of the main shaft 3, and the second rotating blade 5 is located on the right side of the main shaft 3. The first rotating blade 4 is arranged in a right - hand helix, and the second rotating blade 5 is arranged in a left - hand helix. Rotating bidirectionally on a single shaft shortens the conveying distance of the corn, saves the conveying time, and at the same time avoids the problem of blockage that is easily caused by single - shaft unidirectional rotation.
[0029] Specifically, the driving motor 21, the first spiral screen 16, the second spiral screen 17, the rotating rod 15, and the screening barrel 14 form a screening structure. The apertures of the first spiral screen 16 and the second spiral screen 17 are different, for stratifying and screening corn kernels of different sizes of large, medium, and small, saving the time consumption of manual screening by the staff and being more convenient to use.
[0030] Specifically, a valve is arranged on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 20. The discharge pipe 20 is located at the bottom of the screening barrel 14, and the outer diameter size of the discharge pipe 20 matches the inner diameter size of the bottom opening of the recycling box 13, which is convenient for discharging small - particle corn kernels and avoiding accumulation and inability to discharge inside the screening barrel 14, causing equipment damage.
[0031] Specifically, on one side of the bottom of the first spiral screen 16 and the second spiral screen 17, there is a fixed connection with a baffle 22. The distance between the baffle 22 and the inner wall of the screening barrel 14 is about three to four millimeters, which not only blocks the corn kernels but also avoids being too close to the inner wall of the screening barrel 14, thus preventing friction with the inner wall and causing damage to the equipment.
[0032] Specifically, the movable plate 6 is connected to the main body frame 1 through hinges 7, and the number of hinges 7 is two groups, which facilitates the subsequent users to open and close the movable plate 6 to recycle the corn kernels collected inside.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, the cutting table 8 harvests corn and conveys it into the main body frame 1. The main shaft 3 starts to rotate under the action of the driving motor 21 on the left outer wall of the main body frame 1. The first rotating blade 4 and the second rotating blade 5 are both located on the surface of the main shaft 3 and rotate simultaneously, but in opposite directions. During the rotation, the corn on both sides is conveyed towards the middle connection port 9. When corn kernels fall, the fallen corn kernels enter the screening barrel 14 through the feeding port 12. Then, the driving motor 21 drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate. The first spiral screen 16 screens the large - particle corn kernels, causing the large - particle corn kernels to stay on the surface of the first spiral screen 16 and be discharged into the first discharge cavity 18 through the first outlet 23 under the action of rotational centrifugal force for storage. The smaller - particle corn kernels that fall on the surface of the second spiral screen 17 are screened as described above for the first spiral screen 16 and are discharged into the second discharge cavity 19 through the second outlet 24. At the same time, the smaller - particle corn kernels pass through the screening of the second spiral screen 17 and fall to the bottom of the screening barrel 14. Finally, when the corn harvester finishes harvesting, the staff opens the movable plate 6 and the valve to take out the corn kernels of different sizes, reducing waste.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
