[0002] In large-scale crop planting, crops can be quickly harvested by harvesters. After searching, the existing technology (Announcement No.: CN201721889097.1) harvester stubble height adjustment mechanism records that "when working in the same work site, the operator adjusts the distance between the cylinder body and the cutting table by adjusting the first bolt, and then controls the extension and retraction stroke of the oil cylinder to adjust the minimum clearance of the cutting table from the ground and adjust the stubble height. Before going to the field, the first bolt is adjusted to calibrate the stubble height. When harvesting to the end of the field, the cutting table is lowered to the bottom and is always at the height when going to the field. This saves the time of repeatedly calibrating the clearance between the cutting table and the ground, can easily adjust the height of the cutting table, and avoids a series of problems such as the cutting table shoveling soil and clogging, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency." However, the existing technology has the problem that the extension and retraction adjustment of the oil cylinder is easily affected by the ambient temperature and operates slowly, resulting in poor efficiency in adjusting the height of the cutting table.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a height adjustment mechanism for a harvester header, comprising: a height adjustment cylinder 1, a harvester header body 3 and a header frame 31. The height adjustment cylinder 1 is connected to the header frame 31 through an adjustment bracket 2. The side end of the header frame 31 is connected to the harvester header body 3.

[0019] An adjusting screw 14 is installed on the inner side of the height adjustment cylinder 1 through the adjusting groove 15. The surface of the adjusting screw 14 is connected to the adjusting bracket 2 through the driving block 23. The upper end of the adjusting screw 14 is axially connected to the motor 12. An arc-shaped cover plate 21 is welded on the upper surface of the adjusting bracket 2. A dust-proof plate 4 is screwed and fixed on the right side of the height adjustment cylinder 1. A dust-proof brush plate 41 is installed on the arc surface of the left side of the dust-proof plate 4. The inner side of the arc-shaped cover plate 21 is connected to the dust-proof plate 4 through the contraction groove 24.

[0020] When the height of the harvester's header body 3 needs to be adjusted, the control motor 12 drives the adjusting screw 14 in the height adjustment cylinder 1 to rotate, and the adjusting bracket 2 is moved up and down to drive the header frame 31 of the harvester's header body 3 to move up and down until it is adjusted to a suitable height. During this movement, the arc cover plate 21 and the dustproof plate 4 are always blocked at the groove surface of the height adjustment cylinder 1, thereby preventing the entry of cutting debris and dust.

[0021] In this embodiment, the adjustment brackets 2 are fixed to the front and rear sides of the header frame 31 via fastening bolts 22. The adjustment brackets 2 are symmetrically L-shaped and extend through the slots in the height adjustment cylinder 1. Connector plates 11 are welded to the front and rear exterior surfaces of the height adjustment cylinder 1, securing the cylinder 1 to the harvester body via these plates. A distance sensor 13 is mounted on the left side of the height adjustment cylinder 1. Heat dissipation grilles 16 are installed at the upper and lower ends of the connector plate 11. A motor 12 is embedded and secured to the upper end of the height adjustment cylinder 1.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the motor 12 rotates the adjustment screw 14, causing the drive block 23 to convert the rotational motion of the adjustment screw 14 into linear motion, thereby driving the adjustment bracket 2 to move up and down, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the harvester header body 3. The distance sensor 13 facilitates detecting the upward movement value of the harvester header body 3 and facilitating the determination of the distance between the harvester header body 3 and the ground.

[0023] In this embodiment, a drive block 23 is embedded and fixed inside the adjustment bracket 2. The right side of the adjustment bracket 2 is aligned with the right groove surface of the height adjustment cylinder 1 via a curved cover plate 21. An arc-shaped contraction groove 24 is defined inside the curved cover plate 21; both the dustproof plate 4 and the dust-blocking brush plate 41 are inserted into the contraction groove 24.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the driving block 23 is convenient for driving the adjusting bracket 2 to move up and down in the groove of the height adjustment cylinder 1. When the adjusting bracket 2 moves up, the arc cover plate 21 moves up together with the adjusting bracket 2. At this time, the dustproof plate 4 is separated from the contraction groove 24 of the arc cover plate 21, and the dust-proof brush plate 41 on the side of the dustproof plate 4 is used to prevent external dust and debris from entering the groove of the height adjustment cylinder 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the height adjustment cylinder 1, the adjustment screw 14, the motor 12, the adjustment bracket 2, the arc cover plate 21, the drive block 23 and the dustproof plate 4 constitute a dustproof height adjustment mechanism of the harvester header body 3.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the dust-proof height adjustment mechanism of the harvester header body 3 is convenient for blocking the entry of debris and dust cut by the harvester, preventing the debris and dust from affecting the smoothness of the adjustment of the height adjustment mechanism, and facilitating the height adjustment mechanism to more efficiently and accurately adjust the height of the harvester header, thereby improving the smooth operation effect of the harvester header height adjustment mechanism.

[0027] The cutting table height adjustment mechanism of the crop harvester of the present invention can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that the oil cylinder is easily affected by the ambient temperature during telescopic adjustment and runs slowly, resulting in poor cutting table height adjustment efficiency. It is convenient to block the entry of debris and dust cut by the harvester, and avoid the debris and dust from affecting the smoothness of adjustment of the height adjustment mechanism. It is convenient for the height adjustment mechanism to adjust the height of the harvester cutting table more efficiently and accurately, and improve the smooth operation effect of the harvester cutting table height adjustment mechanism. It is suitable for the cutting table height adjustment mechanism of the crop harvester.
