Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the chassis of a whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester, specifically an automatically leveling wheeled chassis of a whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester, belonging to the technical field of agricultural machinery equipment. Background Technique
[0002] A sugarcane combine harvester is an integrated machine that can complete a series of operations such as sugarcane top cutting, cane cutting, and leaf stripping in a sugarcane field. The existing sugarcane combine harvesters are mainly divided into two categories: cut-type sugarcane combine harvesters and whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvesters. Among them, the whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester is more suitable for walking on plots with different terrains and slopes due to its compact structure and small size. Moreover, when harvesting, the whole sugarcane stalk can be retained, reducing sugar loss and facilitating the preservation of raw sugarcane. Therefore, it is more in line with the actual situation of sugarcane planting and harvesting in China and is more widely used in China.
[0003] Since sugarcane planting in China is mostly distributed in hilly areas, the terrain of some sugarcane planting areas is complex and the ground is uneven. When a sugarcane combine harvester with an ordinary chassis walks on the ground with a large height difference between the left and right, the driving difficulty is high and the safety is poor. If care is not taken, a rollover accident may occur, which is not conducive to carrying out sugarcane machine harvesting operations. Therefore, we have configured an automatically leveling wheeled chassis for the whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester to improve the adaptability of the whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester to the undulating ground, thereby reducing the driving difficulty of the whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester when walking and operating on the undulating ground, improving driving safety, and at the same time facilitating the carrying out of sugarcane machine harvesting operations and increasing the sugarcane machine harvesting rate. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatically leveling wheeled chassis of a whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester. The whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester applying this chassis can improve the adaptability of the whole-stalk sugarcane combine harvester to the undulating ground, reduce the driving difficulty and improve the driving safety.
[0005] The specific technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automatic leveling wheeled chassis for an integral-rod sugarcane combine harvester, which is provided with a frame. The main body of the frame is a horizontally arranged planar frame formed by welding multiple frame beams. At the middle position of the front end on the bottom side of the frame, a horizontally transverse front axle pin is fixedly installed. A front axle assembly that can rotate and swing along the front axle pin is hinged on the front axle pin. The front axle assembly adopts a portal suspension. The portal suspension is provided with an upper crossbeam and two left and right portal columns. The middle part of the upper crossbeam is hinged to the front axle pin through an upward-projecting hinge ear. The outer sides of the lower ends of the two left and right portal columns are respectively connected with two left and right front wheels. On the sides of the two left and right portal columns, two vertically arranged front leveling cylinders are respectively installed.

The head ends of the piston rods of the two front leveling cylinders are respectively hinged to the frame beams at the corresponding positions on the left and right sides of the frame. At the middle position of the rear end on the bottom side of the frame, a horizontally transverse rear axle pin is fixedly installed. A rear axle assembly that can rotate and swing along the rear axle pin is hinged on the rear axle pin. The rear axle assembly adopts an inverted T-shaped suspension. The inverted T-shaped suspension is provided with a vertical beam and a lower crossbeam. The upper end of the vertical beam is hinged to the rear axle pin through an upward-projecting hinge ear. The two left and right ends of the lower crossbeam are respectively connected with two left and right rear wheels. On the left and right sides of the vertical beam, two vertically arranged rear leveling cylinders are respectively installed.

The head ends of the piston rods of the two rear leveling cylinders are respectively hinged to the frame beams at the corresponding positions on the left and right sides of the frame.
[0007] A first angle sensor for detecting the left and right inclination angles between the front end of the frame and the ground plane and a second angle sensor for detecting the left and right inclination angles between the rear end of the frame and the ground plane are provided above the frame. The frame is also equipped with a hydraulic system and a single-chip control module.

The single-chip control module is provided with a circuit connected to the hydraulic system. The single-chip control module controls the lifting actions of each front leveling cylinder and each rear leveling cylinder separately through the hydraulic system.
[0008] The advantages of the automatic leveling wheeled chassis of the present utility model are as follows: The front axle assembly and the rear axle assembly under the chassis are respectively connected to the upper frame by means of pin joints. Moreover, front leveling cylinders and rear leveling cylinders are respectively provided between the two sides of the suspension of the front axle assembly and the two sides of the suspension of the rear axle assembly and the frame for connection. The single-machine control module adjusts the lifting actions of the two front leveling cylinders and the two rear leveling cylinders in real time according to the left and right inclination angle data at the front and rear ends of the frame and the pressure data of the leveling cylinders, so that the chassis can be adjusted adaptively in real time during the walking process on the undulating ground, ensuring that the front and rear ends of the frame always remain horizontal in the left and right directions.
