Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a vertical impurity exhaust fan for a corn harvester. Background Art

[0002] When harvesting corn, a corn harvester lifts the removed ears to the top of the machine via an elevator and then drops them through an ear drop-out hole into the husker. Currently, corn harvesters struggle to simply remove the ears from the stalks during this process. The removed ears, mixed with a certain amount of miscellaneous leaves, enter the elevator. These are then lifted to the top by the elevator and then dropped into the husker, increasing the husker's workload and reducing the efficiency of huskering the corn. To address this technical issue, a dust removal fan is often installed on one side of the husker drop-out hole, with the fan's outlet facing the husker drop line. This fan blows away the miscellaneous leaves as they fall.

[0003] Existing impurity exhaust fans are mostly driven by motors through belts or chains, which are inconvenient to adjust the speed. In addition, most fans are horizontal cross-flow fans that rely on their huge air volume to exhaust impurities. Utility Model Content

The center sleeve and the fan shaft 23 are limited by a through pin circumference. The blade is embedded in the radial notch at the lower end of the center sleeve and is limited by a limit cover and a nut provided at the lower end of the fan shaft 23.

[0031] A downward-angled discharge nozzle 6 is bolted to one end of the discharge port of the fan housing 2. An upper cover plate 5 is hinged to the upper end of the discharge nozzle 6 via a long axis 29. Two lower rubber plates 8 are arranged in a front-to-rear arrangement on the lower cover plate at the lower end of the discharge nozzle 6. The front end of the upper cover plate 5 is connected to the two lower rubber plates 8 via two symmetrically arranged movable pull plates 7.
