Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The components of the embodiments of this utility model, typically described and labeled in the accompanying drawings, can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0043] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a grain box, including a grain box body 1, a base 3, a limiting mechanism 2, a hydraulic cylinder 10, and a grain box unloading mechanism;

[0050] The grain box body 1 is mounted on the base 3. The two ends of the hydraulic cylinder 10 are connected to the grain box body 1 and the base 3 respectively, so that the grain box body 1 can rotate relative to the base 3.

[0051] The limiting mechanism 2 is a support rod with a sliding groove. One end of the limiting mechanism 2 is hinged to the base 3, and the other end is slidably connected to the grain box body 1. The limiting mechanism 2 can limit the rotation angle of the grain box body 1 relative to the base 3.

[0052] The grain unloading mechanism is located at the grain outlet of the grain box body 1.

[0053] The grain unloading mechanism of the grain bin includes an unloading plate assembly and an unloading insert plate 8;

[0054] A flat slot is provided on the side wall near the grain outlet of the grain box body 1, and the unloading plate 8 can be inserted into the slot to close the grain outlet.

[0055] The unloading plate assembly includes an upper section 5 and a lower section 6. The upper end of the upper section 5 is hinged to the rear side wall 9 of the grain box body 1 near the grain outlet. The upper section 5 and the lower section 6 can be stacked and folded up. After the upper section 5 and the lower section 6 are stacked and folded up, the lower end of the upper section 5 can be fixedly connected to the left or right side wall of the grain box body 1 near the grain outlet, which can also close the grain outlet and avoid taking up more space.

[0056] Pin holes are provided at the lower end of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate and on the left or right side wall of the grain box body 1 near the grain outlet. After the unloading plate assembly is retracted, the upper section 5 of the unloading plate can be fixedly connected to the front side wall of the grain box body 1 by the elastic pin assembly 4.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the elastic pin assembly 4 includes a pin 401, a U-shaped seat 402 and a spring 403; the U-shaped seat 402 is fixedly installed on the left or right side wall of the grain outlet, and the pin 401 is inserted into the U-shaped seat 402.

[0058] A stop pin 404 is provided at the front end of the pin 401; a spring 403 is provided inside the U-shaped seat 402, one end of the spring 403 abuts against the rear wall of the U-shaped seat 402, and the other end abuts against one side of the pressure ring 405; the other side of the pressure ring 405 abuts against the stop pin 404.

[0059] When unlocking, pull the pin 401 outward. The stop pin 404 drives the pressure ring 405 to compress the spring 403, and the front end of the pin 401 is pulled out of the pin hole, thus releasing the grain unloading plate assembly. After releasing the pin 401, the pin 401 will spring back under the elastic force of the spring 403.

[0060] When retracting the fixed unloading plate assembly, the pin 401 is pulled outwards, the unloading plate assembly is pushed back into place, the pin 401 is released, and the pin 401 springs back into the pin hole to complete the locking.

[0061] The rear sidewall 9 near the grain outlet of the grain box body 1 is inclined. After the unloading plate assembly is unfolded, the rear end of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate can be placed on the inclined part of the rear sidewall 9, so that the rear sidewall 9 can limit the maximum rotation angle of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate, making it convenient to unload grain.

[0062] To prevent grains from spilling from the sides of the unloading plate assembly, vertical baffles are installed on both sides of the upper section 5 and the lower section 6 of the unloading plate.

[0063] In order to allow the upper section 5 and the lower section 6 of the unloading plate to be stacked and folded up relative to each other, in one embodiment, the lower end of the upper section 5 and the upper end of the lower section 6 are connected by a hinge 7, so that the lower section 6 can rotate around the hinge 7, thereby realizing the relative folding and folding up of the upper section 5 and the lower section 6 of the unloading plate.

[0064] To prevent the baffles on both sides of the lower section 6 from being blocked by the bottom plate of the upper section 5 when the lower section 6 of the unloading plate is folded relative to the upper section 5, gaps are provided on the bottom plate of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate to allow the baffles to pass through. This allows the baffles on both sides of the lower section 6 to pass through the bottom plate of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate when the lower section 6 of the unloading plate is folded relative to the upper section 5 of the unloading plate, thus achieving complete folding and reducing space occupation.

[0065] To facilitate the removal and insertion of the unloading plate 8, a handle or grip is provided on the outside of the unloading plate 8.

[0066] This embodiment adds a grain unloading mechanism to the grain box, which not only meets the unloading height requirements and is suitable for collecting grains in bags, but also allows for direct unloading onto the grain receiving vehicle. At the same time, it avoids interference between the unloading mechanism and surrounding components during use, thus improving adaptability and practicality.

[0067] In another embodiment, the unloading plate assembly can employ a different mechanism for stacking and storage. For example... Figure 7 As shown, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the lower section 6 of the unloading plate, and sliders are provided at corresponding positions on the upper section 5 of the unloading plate, so that the lower section 6 of the unloading plate can slide through the cooperation of the sliding grooves and the sliders, thereby realizing the pulling motion of the lower section 6 of the unloading plate relative to the upper section 5 of the unloading plate.

[0068] In other embodiments, the chute can be set on the upper section 5 of the unloading plate and the slider can be set on the lower section 6 of the unloading plate, which can also achieve the pulling action of the lower section 6 of the unloading plate relative to the upper section 5 of the unloading plate.

[0069] Limiting blocks are also provided at both ends of the chute to restrict the position of the lower section 6 of the unloading plate being pulled out and extended, thus preventing the lower section 6 of the unloading plate from coming out of the upper section 5 of the unloading plate.

[0070] This embodiment also provides a harvester, characterized in that it includes the aforementioned grain bin.

[0071] Because it adopts the aforementioned grain box and grain box unloading mechanism, the harvester also possesses all the technical effects of the aforementioned grain box unloading mechanism, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0072] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
