Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ear boxes, and particularly relates to a lifting and tipping ear box and a harvester. Background Art

[0002] An ear box is a component used to hold ears in a combine harvester for both stalks and ears. The harvested ears still need to be transported to a grain truck through the ear box. With the continuous development of harvesters, the volume of the existing ear box has become larger. To ensure the harvesting efficiency, some grain trucks have also increased their corresponding volumes. Therefore, the heights of the existing grain trucks are different. When the height of the grain truck is relatively low, it is easy for the grain to fall out of the grain truck during unloading.

[0003] To enable the ear box to meet the grain receiving needs of grain trucks with different heights, the existing combine harvesters for both stalks and ears generally use two groups of oil cylinders (4 oil cylinders) to cooperate to achieve the combined actions of lifting and tipping the ear box. This method requires the cooperation of components such as two groups of oil cylinders, sequence valves, and multi-way valves to achieve the combined actions, resulting in complex pipelines, many components, and high costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The lower end of the bracket is hinged to the base through a first rotating shaft, and the upper end of the bracket is hinged to the ear box crossbeam through a second rotating shaft;

[0008] A section of slide rail is arranged on the bracket. The lower end of the sliding rod is hinged to the base, and the upper end of the sliding rod is arranged in the slide rail so that it can slide along the slide rail;

[0009] The lower end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the base, and the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the ear box crossbeam; the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the oil circuit system.

[0012] The lower end of the bracket is connected to the lower end of the base, and the upper end of the bracket is connected to the front end of the ear box cross beam.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the middle position of the hypotenuse of the base, and the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to a position near the front end of the ear box cross beam.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a chute is provided in the slide rail, and a roller is provided at the upper end of the sliding rod, and the roller can slide in the chute.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the slide rail is a guide rod, and limit blocks are respectively provided at both ends of the guide rod; a sliding sleeve is provided at the upper end of the sliding rod, and the sliding sleeve is sleeved on the guide rod and can slide within the limit range of the limit blocks.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the sliding rod is hinged to the hypotenuse of the base, and the hinge point is located between the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder and the lower vertex of the base.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the slide rail is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the length of the bracket.

[0020] The present invention also provides a harvester, including the lifting and flipping ear box as described above.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] When the ear box flips, the hydraulic cylinder starts to extend when it is supplied with oil.

[0040] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] The structure of the lifting and tipping ear box provided in this embodiment is as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, it includes a base 5, a corn cob box 1, and corn cob box crossbeams 11 supported on both sides of the corn cob box 1. It also includes two sets of lifting and flipping systems and an oil circuit system symmetrically arranged on both sides of the corn cob box 1.

[0042] The lifting and flipping system includes a bracket 3, a sliding rod 4, and a hydraulic cylinder 2;

[0043] Specifically, the lower end of the bracket 3 is hinged to the base 5 through a first rotating shaft 7, and the upper end of the bracket 3 is hinged to the corn cob box crossbeam 11 through a second rotating shaft 6;

[0044] A section of slide rail 31 is arranged on the bracket 3. The lower end of the sliding rod 4 is hinged to the base 5, and the upper end of the sliding rod 4 is arranged in the slide rail 31 so that it can slide along the slide rail 31;

[0045] The lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is hinged to the base 5, and the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is hinged to the corn cob box crossbeam 11; the hydraulic cylinder 2 is connected to the oil circuit system.

[0046] The working state is as follows:

[0047] When the corn cob box 1 flips, the hydraulic cylinder 2 starts to extend by admitting oil. At this time, the corn cob box 1 and the bracket 3 rotate synchronously around the first rotating shaft 7 under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 2. The lower end of the sliding rod 4 rotates around the base 5 at this time, and the upper end moves downward along the slide rail 31 from top to bottom to realize the flipping action until the bracket 3 stops moving under the action of the sliding rod 4, and the flipping action ends;

[0048] When the corn cob box 1 is lifted, the hydraulic cylinder 2 continues to act. At this time, the bracket 3 is fixed by the sliding rod 4, and only the corn cob box 1 rotates around the second rotating shaft 6 to realize the secondary flipping action until the maximum stroke of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is reached, and the secondary flipping action ends;

[0049] When the hydraulic cylinder 2 retracts, the corn cob box 1 rotates around the second rotating shaft 6 under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 2 until when the bracket 3 is released from the force of the sliding rod 4, the corn cob box 1 and the bracket 3 rotate synchronously around the first rotating shaft 7, and finally realize the secondary overall retraction.

[0050] In order to enable the hydraulic cylinder 2 to better realize the lifting and flipping actions of the corn cob box 1, the base 5 is set as a triangular bracket with one end higher and the other end lower;

[0051] At the same time, the side of the corn cob box crossbeam 11 close to the opening of the corn cob box 1 is the front end, and the front end of the corn cob box crossbeam 11 is close to the lower end of the base 5;

[0052] The lower end of the bracket 3 is connected to the lower end of the base 5, and the upper end of the bracket 3 is connected to the front end of the corn cob box crossbeam 11.

[0053] The triangular base 5 can make the flipping action of the corn cob box 1 easier to achieve.

[0054] At this time, the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is hinged to a position slightly forward of the middle of the hypotenuse of the base 5; the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is hinged to a position near the front end of the ear box cross beam 11, and the hinge point of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the ear box cross beam 11 is located behind the hinge point of the support 3 and the ear box cross beam 11.

[0055] In order to maximize the power of the hydraulic cylinder 2, the distance from the hinge point of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the ear box cross beam 11 to the second rotating shaft 6 is less than the distance from the hinge point of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the base 5 to the first rotating shaft 7.

[0058] In order to enable the sliding rod 4 to better support the support 3 and ensure the sight line of the lifting and flipping actions of the ear box 1, the lower end of the sliding rod 4 is hinged to the hypotenuse of the base 5, and the hinge point is located between the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the lower vertex of the base 5.

[0059] The length of the slide rail 31 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the length of the support 3, and the position is located at the lower part of the middle of the support 3. The specific length and position can be determined according to the height to be lifted and the flipping angle.

[0060] The oil circuit system includes a branch oil supply pipeline, a branch oil return pipeline and two three-way valves. The two hydraulic cylinders 2 are respectively connected to the branch oil supply pipeline and the branch oil return pipeline; one three-way valve is connected to the main oil supply circuit and supplies oil to the two hydraulic cylinders 2 synchronously through the branch oil supply pipeline, and the other three-way valve is connected to the main oil return circuit and returns oil from the two hydraulic cylinders 2 synchronously through the branch oil return pipeline.

[0061] A deflector is provided at the opening of the ear box 1 to prevent the ears from spilling from the side of the ear box 1.

[0062] This lifting and flipping ear box can realize the combined action of lifting and flipping the ear box only in the case of a group of hydraulic cylinders, reducing hydraulic components such as hydraulic cylinders, sequence valves, and multi-way valves, and greatly reducing the cost.

[0063] This embodiment also provides a harvester, including the above-mentioned lifting and flipping ear box, and having all the advantages of the above-mentioned lifting and flipping ear box, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
