Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and particularly relates to a compression mechanism of a square bale baler for grass materials. Background Art

[0002] Baling operation is an effective way for the mechanized field harvesting of forage grass, rice, wheat and other crop straws and realizing high-value utilization. The large square bale baler with pre-compression function has a high bale forming rate, and the formed bales are regular in shape, dense, heavy, efficient and reliable in operation, and are convenient for off-field transportation and storage.

[0003] An important link in the operation of the square bale baler is compression molding. By using the quick-return characteristic of the offset crank-slider mechanism, the rotary motion of the crank is converted into the reciprocating motion of the piston to realize the compression of the grass materials, that is, the loose grass materials continuously fed into the compression chamber are gradually compacted into a square bale with a regular shape through the reciprocating motion of the piston of the compression mechanism. The piston of the compression mechanism of the large square bale baler makes a reciprocating motion in the compression chamber. After the feeding fork of the baler feeds the grass materials into the compression chamber, the piston pushes the loose grass materials backward to gradually form a grass sheet, and the required compression force gradually increases. Until the compression force exceeds the friction force between the materials and the compression chamber, the grass sheet moves backward and the compression force decreases. To prevent the rebound of the compressed grass materials, the compression mechanism needs to continuously make reciprocating motions for compression.

[0004] The piston of the compression mechanism of the traditional large square bale baler often adopts an integral welded structure, which is heavy, has a large movement inertia, is subjected to large impacts and vibrations during the movement in the compression chamber, consumes a large amount of power for compacting the grass materials according to the designed compression frequency, and has a high energy consumption for the whole machine. In addition, due to the heavy piston, the friction force between the piston and the compression chamber is large during the movement, and the wear is serious. The running smoothness of the piston is reduced, and the vibration and noise are increased, resulting in the continuous decline of its performance. With the continuous improvement of the reliability requirements for the baler, an improved design of the compression mechanism piston is proposed to reduce the inertial force of the piston and the power consumed by the piston to ensure the performance of the whole large square bale baler. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a compression mechanism of a square bale baler for grass materials aiming at the defects in the prior art.
