Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a crawler-type harvester with a rear counterweight, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, including a crawler traveling mechanism 1, a cleaning mechanism 2, a harvesting header 6, a feeding mechanism 5, a threshing mechanism 3, a grain box 4, and a driving and operating system 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, the harvesting header 6 can be replaced with a header suitable for different varieties. Taking corn as an example in this embodiment, the harvesting header 6 adopts a corn ear header.

[0025] Specifically, a counterweight mechanism 15 for adjusting the center of gravity of the harvester is provided at the tail end above the crawler traveling mechanism 1. The corn ear header, the feeding mechanism 5, and the threshing mechanism 3 are detachably connected in sequence. The threshing mechanism 3 is arranged above the cleaning mechanism 2 located on the crawler traveling mechanism 1 and is communicated with the cleaning mechanism 2. The corn ear header and the feeding mechanism 5 are arranged at the front end of the crawler traveling mechanism 1. The grain box 4 is arranged on one side of the cleaning mechanism 2 and is communicated with the cleaning mechanism 2. The driving and operating system 14 is arranged above the crawler traveling mechanism 1.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] The corn ear header picks the corn ears from the straws. The corn ears are transported to the threshing mechanism 3 through the feeding mechanism 5 for threshing. The threshed corn cobs, husks and corn kernels enter the cleaning mechanism 2. The corn cobs and husks are thrown out by the cleaning mechanism 2, and the corn kernels are transported by the cleaning mechanism 2 to the kernel box 4 to realize the collection of corn kernels.

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] On the basis of Embodiment 1, taking the harvesting of corn as an example, this embodiment provides the specific implementation manners of each mechanism of the harvester.

[0030] As Figure 2 shown, the crawler traveling mechanism 1 further includes a lower frame 7. A driving wheel 9, a supporting wheel 10, a guiding wheel 11 and a guide rail 12 are provided on the lower frame 7. The driving wheel 9, the supporting wheel 10 and the guiding wheel 11 slide along the guide rail 12, and the crawler 13 is provided on the outer peripheries of the driving wheel 9, the supporting wheel 10 and the guiding wheel 11.

[0031] Furthermore, an upper frame 8 is provided above the lower frame 7, and a counterweight mechanism 15 is provided at the tail end of the upper frame 8. The cleaning mechanism 2 is provided above the upper frame 8.

[0032] Furthermore, the counterweight mechanism 15 includes counterweight blocks 16 and fixing clamping plates 17. The fixing clamping plates 17 are used to clamp and fix the counterweight blocks 16. In this embodiment, when disassembling the corn ear header and replacing it with a harvesting header for other crops, the number of counterweight blocks 16 can be adjusted according to the harvesting header to adjust the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, so as to realize the harvesting of multiple crops and make the machine multi-functional.

[0033] In this embodiment, the crawler traveling mechanism 1 adopts an iron rigid structure.

[0034] As Figure 4 shown, the corn ear header is used to pick the corn ears from the straws. The corn ear header includes a header frame 27, a spiral auger 28, pulling rollers 29, a reel 30, a divider 31 and a rotating cone 32. The spiral auger 28 is provided on the header frame 27. A plurality of pulling rollers 29 are provided at the front end of the spiral auger 28. The reel 30 is provided above the pulling rollers 29. The divider 31 is provided at the front end of the reel 30. The rotating cone 32 is provided on both sides of the header frame 27. The spiral auger 28 is used to convey the corn ears to the feeding mechanism 5. The feeding mechanism 5 transports the corn ears to the threshing mechanism 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the spiral auger 28, the pulling rollers 29, the reel 30 and the rotating cone 32 rotate simultaneously during operation.

[0036] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the cleaning mechanism 2 is used to screen out corn kernels. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a vibrating screen 18, a centrifugal fan 19, a kernel auger 20 and a residue auger 21. A screen mesh is provided on the vibrating screen 18. The centrifugal fan 19, the kernel auger 20 and the residue auger 21 are sequentially arranged below the vibrating screen 18 from front to back. The air outlet of the centrifugal fan 19 is located at the front end of the vibrating screen 18. The kernel auger 20 communicates with the kernel box 4, and the outlet of the residue auger 21 is located above the front end of the vibrating screen 18.

[0037] Further, in this embodiment, the specification of the screen mesh is 1.9 cm × 1.9 cm.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the threshing mechanism 3 is used to separate the corn kernels from the corn cobs. The threshing mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped screen 22, a threshing cylinder 23, a rake rod 24, a cylinder cover plate 25 and a guide plate 26. The threshing cylinder 23 is arranged above the U-shaped screen 22. A number of rake rods 24 are provided on the threshing cylinder 23, and the threshing cylinder 23 drives the rake rods 24 to rotate at high speed. The cylinder cover plate 25 is arranged above the threshing cylinder 23, and a number of guide plates 26 are arranged on the cylinder cover plate 25. The angle of the guide plates 26 is adjustable, and by changing the angle, the moving speed of the corn cobs is changed.

[0039] Further, in this embodiment, the threshing mechanism 3 is arranged above the cleaning mechanism 2.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] During harvesting, the divider 31 guides the corn straws into rows and feeds them to the reel 30. The reel 30 moves the straws to the pulling roller 29, and the pulling roller 29 pulls the corn cobs off the straws. The straws fall to the ground through the gaps between adjacent pulling rollers 29. The cobs are conveyed to the spiral auger 28, and the spiral auger 28 rotates to push the corn cobs into the feeding mechanism 5. The feeding mechanism 5 conveys the corn cobs into the threshing mechanism 3. When the corn straws are lodged, when the divider 31 guides the straws, the rotating cone 32 pushes the straws into the reel 30 for collecting the corn cobs.

[0042] The corn cobs entering the threshing mechanism 3 are diverted backward by the guide plate 26 and fall onto the threshing cylinder 23. The rapidly rotating rake rods 24 separate the corn cobs into corn cobs, husks, and corn kernels. The air blown by the centrifugal fan 19 blows out most of the husks and fine impurities. The corn kernels and corn cobs fall onto the vibrating screen 18. The vibrating screen 18 vibrates from front to back, and the corn cobs and large particle impurities are thrown out by the vibrating screen 18. The corn kernels and small particle impurities fall through the screen mesh. The heavier corn kernels fall to the front grain auger 20, and the grain auger 20 transports the corn kernels into the grain bin 4. Under the action of the centrifugal fan 19, the lighter impurities and some corn kernels fall to the rear residue auger 21, and the residue auger 21 transports the corn kernels containing impurities to the vibrating screen 18 for re-screening and impurity removal.
