[0002] The hopper structure is often set between the elevator and the peeler in corn harvesters. It is mainly used to collect corn to prevent it from falling out or causing blockage of the peeler.
[0003] Common receiving hoppers have relatively simple structures, mostly using welded structures, which are costly. Moreover, these receiving hoppers are easily damaged due to the constant high-speed dropping of corn cobs from heights and the impact over a long period of time. Furthermore, the high transport speed of the equipment can easily cause problems such as blockage and corn cob falling during the peeling process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a feeding device, comprising a first side plate, a first connecting plate, a second side plate, and a second connecting plate connected in sequence, wherein the first side plate, the first connecting plate, the second side plate, and the second connecting plate form a hollow box.
[0005] The inner surface of the second receiving plate is detachably connected to the first diverter plate, and the inner surface of the first receiving plate is detachably connected to the second diverter plate.
[0006] Both the first and second diverter plates are triangular, with one corner facing the entrance of the housing.
[0007] There are two second diverter plates, and there is a gap between the two second diverter plates; there are two first diverter plates, and there is a gap between the two first diverter plates.
[0008] The two first diverter plates and the two second diverter plates are placed in a staggered manner.
[0009] The first and second diverter plates are isosceles triangles, and the apex angles of the first and second diverter plates face the inlet of the housing.
[0010] The thickness of the first and second diverter plates near the inlet of the housing is greater than the thickness of the end near the outlet of the housing.
[0011] The first side plate and the second side plate are trapezoidal.
[0012] L-shaped supports are provided on the outer sides of the first and second side plates.
[0013] A fruit-ear machine includes a lifter, a peeler, and the aforementioned feeding device, wherein the outer sides of the first side plate and the second side plate of the feeding device are respectively fixedly connected to the lifter and the peeler.
[0014] A harvester for fresh fruit ears includes a lift, a treadmill, and the aforementioned feeding device. The outer sides of the first and second side plates of the feeding device are fixedly connected to the lift and the treadmill, respectively.
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model uses a first diverter plate and a second diverter plate on the second side plate and the first side plate to withstand the impact of corn cobs falling from a height, thereby protecting the feeding device. When the first diverter plate or the second diverter plate is damaged, it can be replaced to achieve quick repair without replacing the entire feeding device, thus saving costs. At the same time, there are gaps between the first diverter plate and the second diverter plate and the first side plate and the second side plate, which diverts the corn cobs and prevents the corn cobs from getting stuck.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the feeding device in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is shown. (Reference) Figure 1 A feeding device includes a first side plate 101, a first connecting plate 102, a second side plate 106, and a second connecting plate 105 connected in sequence. The first side plate 101, the first connecting plate 102, the second side plate 106, and the second connecting plate 105 form a hollow box. The box is funnel-shaped with a larger inlet at the upper end and a smaller outlet at the lower end.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the inner surface of the second receiving plate 105 is connected to the first diversion plate 103 by bolts 108, and the inner surface of the first receiving plate 102 is connected to the second diversion plate 104 by bolts 108. Both the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 are triangular, with one corner facing the entrance of the housing. The first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 are placed opposite each other, and there is a gap between the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 and the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106. The gap is larger than the maximum length of the corn to prevent the corn from getting stuck between the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 and the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106, thus preventing jamming. At the same time, the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 are designed to withstand the impact of corn cobs falling from a height, thereby protecting the feeding device. When either the first diversion plate 103 or the second diversion plate 104 is damaged, it can be replaced for quick repair without replacing the entire feeding device, saving costs.
[0032] Furthermore, the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 are isosceles triangles, and the apex angles of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 face the inlet of the housing. The thickness of the end of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 near the inlet of the housing is greater than the thickness of the end near the outlet of the housing; the isosceles triangles of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 divert the corn or corn stalks, thereby preventing them from accumulating and causing blockages in subsequent machines.
[0033] In this embodiment, alternatively, the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 are trapezoidal. L-shaped supports 107 are provided on the outer sides of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106. By making the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 trapezoidal, the box formed by the first side plate 101, the first connecting plate 102, the second side plate 106, and the second connecting plate 105 is funnel-shaped, thus facilitating the entry of corn and corn stalks, and simultaneously collecting the corn and corn stalks together for easy entry into the next device.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] refer to Figure 2In conjunction with Embodiment 1, the inner surface of the first receiving plate 102 is provided with two second diversion plates 104 with a gap between them, and the inner surface of the second receiving plate 105 is provided with two first diversion plates 103 with a gap between them. The two first diversion plates 103 and the two second diversion plates 104 are placed in a staggered manner. The first diversion plates 103 and the second diversion plates 104 are triangular, with one corner facing the entrance of the box. The gaps between the two second diversion plates 104, the gaps between the two first diversion plates 103, and the gaps between the first diversion plates 103 and the second diversion plates 104 and the first side plates 101 and the second side plates 106 must all be greater than the maximum length of the corn to prevent the corn from getting stuck horizontally between the first diversion plates 103 and the second diversion plates 104 and the first side plates 101 and the second side plates 106, as well as between the two first diversion plates 103 and the two second diversion plates 104, thus preventing jamming.
[0036] In the above embodiments, another optional implementation is that the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 are equilateral triangles, and the apex angles of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 face the inlet of the housing. The thickness of the end of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 near the inlet of the housing is greater than the thickness of the end near the outlet of the housing; the equilateral triangles of the first diverter plate 103 and the second diverter plate 104 divert the corn or corn stalks, thereby preventing them from accumulating together and causing subsequent machine blockage.
[0037] Furthermore, the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 are trapezoidal. L-shaped supports 107 are provided on the outer sides of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106. By making the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 trapezoidal, the box formed by the first side plate 101, the first connecting plate 102, the second side plate 106 and the second connecting plate 105 is funnel-shaped, which facilitates the entry of corn and corn stalks, and at the same time gathers the corn and corn stalks together for easy entry into the next device.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] This device is an indispensable connecting component in the corn cob harvester, playing a crucial role in bridging the upper and lower parts of the machine. During operation, corn ears enter the elevator 30 via the header and then fall onto the peeler 40. This device is necessary to receive the corn as it enters the peeler 40 from the elevator 30; otherwise, the ears will fall off. Furthermore, the outlet of the elevator 30 is generally narrower than that of the peeler 40. Due to the high speed of the entire machine, a large number of corn ears are fed into the peeler 40. This could potentially cause blockages in the peeler 40, or some ears might enter the grain bin without being peeled. This device is equipped with a diverter plate that diverts the corn ears falling from the outlet of the elevator 30 to both sides of the peeler 40, effectively solving the above problems.
[0040] This device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is inexpensive. All parts are connected by 108 bolts, which makes it easy for installers and users to operate.
[0041] All components are detachable 108 bolt connections. The device has pre-drilled bolt holes, allowing the diverter plates to be easily replaced with two large or four small ones depending on the amount and speed of corn ear feeding. The diverter plates are available in steel and rubber materials; steel plates are suitable for harvested ears, while rubber plates are suitable for fresh ears. Both provide excellent buffering and diversion functions.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the ear-collecting machine in Embodiment 3 of this utility model is shown. (Reference) Figure 3 A corn harvester includes a conveyor 30, a peeler 40, and a feeding device as described in Embodiment 1 or 2. L-shaped supports 107 on the outer sides of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 of the feeding device 10 are fixedly connected to the conveyor 30 and the peeler 40 respectively via bolts 108. The conveyor 30 transports corn or corn stalks to the top of the feeding device 10, and then the corn or corn stalks are poured into the feeding device 10. The corn or corn stalks enter through the inlet of the feeding device 10, and are then diverted by the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 to prevent the corn or corn stalks from getting stuck or falling onto the peeler 40, which could cause the equipment to jam and be damaged.
[0043] Example 4
[0044] Most corn harvesters that harvest both stalks and ears can be transformed from ear-harvesting machines to fresh-eating ear-harvesting machines by replacing the peeling machine 40 with a treadmill 50. In this case, the flow divider can be replaced with a rubber plate for continued use. Specifically, the peeling machine 40 includes a frame with multiple rotating pressure rollers inside. An external motor drives the pressure rollers to rotate, thus squeezing and peeling the corn. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the corn harvester that harvests both stalks and ears according to Embodiment 4 of this utility model is shown. (Reference) Figure 4A corn harvester that harvests both stalks and ears includes a lifter 30, a treadmill 50, and a feeding device as described in Embodiment 1 or 2. L-shaped supports 107 on the outer sides of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 106 of the feeding device 10 are fixedly connected to the lifter 30 and the treadmill 50 respectively by bolts 108. The lifter 30 transports corn or corn stalks and ears to the top of the feeding device 10, and then pours the corn or corn stalks and ears into the feeding device 10. The corn or corn stalks and ears enter through the inlet of the feeding device 10, and are then diverted by the first diversion plate 103 and the second diversion plate 104 to prevent the corn or corn stalks and ears from getting stuck or falling onto the treadmill 50, which could cause the equipment to jam and be damaged. Specifically, the treadmill 50 includes a frame with two rotatable conveyor rollers mounted on it. A conveyor belt is mounted on the conveyor rollers. A motor on the outer side of the frame drives the conveyor rollers to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt and moving the corn placed on the conveyor belt.
