For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] The structure of the dust removal and impurity removal system for the engine fan provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown,

[0036] A dust cover 1 is provided on one side of the air inlet of the engine fan 2 of the harvesting machine. The dust cover 1 is covered on one side of the air inlet of the engine fan 2 in the form of a frame to ensure that the incoming air flows through the dust cover 1.

[0037] A collecting box 3 is provided at the lower outer side of the dust hood 1; the collecting box 3 is trumpet-shaped as a whole, and an opening with a larger cross-sectional area faces the lower end of the dust hood 1, and is used to receive debris dropped from the dust hood 1; the lower opening of the collecting box 3 has a smaller cross-sectional area, and is connected to one end of a dust suction fan pipeline 4, and the other end of the dust suction fan pipeline 4 is connected to the inlet end of the dust suction fan 5; the outlet end of the dust suction fan 5 is connected to the external environment.

[0038] When the user drives the harvester to operate normally, the engine fan 2 rotates, and after a period of work, the chopped corn leaves and straw chaff will be adsorbed onto the dust cover 1, thereby blocking the heat exchange between the radiator core and the outside to a certain extent. At this time, the engine fan 2 can be controlled to stop working, and the dust suction fan 5 can be turned on at the same time, so that the straw chaff, dust and other debris on the dust cover 1 fall into the collection box 3. Under the negative pressure of the dust suction fan 5, the debris is discharged to the outside through the dust suction fan pipeline 4.

[0039] The shape of the collection box 3 is not limited, and the overall shape is thick at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is convenient for collecting debris. In a more preferred embodiment, the front side wall and the rear side wall of the collection box 3 are basically straight walls in the vertical direction, and the left side wall and the right side wall of the collection box 3 are arc-shaped walls. This structure makes the collection box 3 have a larger lateral width and a smaller longitudinal width, which reduces the space occupied and is convenient for installation on the harvesting machinery. The arc-shaped walls on both sides are steep at the top and slow at the bottom, which is also more conducive to the collection and falling of debris.

[0040] The surface of the dust cover 1 is corrugated and provided with densely arranged through holes. The corrugated surface can expand the dust and impurity removal area, and make the wind direction generated by the engine fan form a certain angle with the surface of the dust cover 1, so as to prevent straw chaff, dust and other debris from completely blocking the through holes on the surface of the dust cover 1, thereby improving the reliability of the engine fan.

[0041] In order to further improve the air intake performance of the dust cover 1, the two side edges of the dust cover 1 are bent and connected to the side of the engine fan 2 by screws, so that a certain gap is formed between the surface of the dust cover 1 and the surface of the engine fan 2. The existence of the gap allows air inlets to be left in the upper and lower directions of the dust cover 1 and the engine fan 2. When the surface of the dust cover 1 is covered with debris and the air intake is reduced, the engine fan 2 can still obtain a certain amount of air intake from the upper and lower gaps with less debris, thereby improving the reliability of the engine fan.

[0042] The gap should not be too large or too small, and is usually preferably set to 1 cm to 5 cm, so as to take into account both the weeding and debris removal function of the dust cover 1 and the air intake of the engine fan 2.

[0043] The power of the suction fan 5 can be set as needed. For example, it can be powered directly from the battery of the harvester, or it can be connected to the hydraulic system of the harvester and driven hydraulically.

[0044] In this embodiment, the dust and debris removal system further includes a dust suction fan driving wheel 7, which is connected to the engine main shaft in a transmission manner. By controlling the coordination between the clutch and the engine main shaft, the dust suction fan driving wheel 7 can directly obtain power from the engine main shaft. The dust suction fan driving wheel 7 is connected to the driving end of the dust suction fan 5 through a belt, thereby being able to drive the dust suction fan 5 to rotate.

[0045] The dust and impurity removal system comprises an impurity suction fan tensioning mechanism 6, and the impurity suction fan tensioning mechanism 6 comprises at least one tensioning wheel, and the tensioning wheel is arranged near the belt and is used to adjust the tightness of the belt.

[0046] The way in which the suction fan 5 obtains power from the engine main shaft is more stable and reliable than electric drive and hydraulic drive, and the control method is also simpler.

[0047] In order to achieve a better dust and debris removal effect, the engine fan 2 can also adopt a forward and reverse axial flow fan, that is, the engine fan 2 can reverse to blow off the debris on the surface of the dust cover 1.

[0048] The control logic of the dust removal and impurity removal system provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. In this embodiment, the controller 9 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 8, the engine fan 2 and the dust suction fan 5 respectively. The temperature sensor 8 is used to detect the water temperature in the heat dissipation water tank of the harvesting machinery. The engine fan 2 adopts a forward and reverse axial flow fan. When the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 8 exceeds the set threshold, the controller 9 controls the engine fan 2 to rotate in the opposite direction and controls the dust suction fan 5 to work. The engine fan 2 blows the straw chaff, dust and other debris attached to the surface of the dust cover 1 into the collection box 3, and the dust suction fan 5 sucks and discharges the debris in the collection box 3 to the outside of the harvesting machinery through the dust suction fan pipeline 4, thereby reducing the accumulation of debris on the surface of the dust cover to a certain extent. The user does not need to frequently clean the grass on the surface of the dust cover, and the working efficiency can also be improved.

[0049] The temperature sensor 8 may also be replaced by other types of sensors, such as a flow sensor for measuring the wind force of the engine fan 2 .

[0050] The present embodiment also provides a harvesting machine, including the dust and debris removal system, which can simply and efficiently remove debris on the surface of the engine fan in various harvesting scenarios and maintain reliable operation for a long time.

[0051] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
