[0036] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 5 Shown, in embodiment, at least three rotary shafts can be installed on the base 5, wherein first clutch transmission arm 3 can be installed on second rotary shaft 72 (it can be rotary shaft on left side as shown in Figure 1 ), and first clutch transmission arm 3 can be welded with rotary sleeve of second rotary shaft 72.First cam 1 and second cam 2 can be installed on first rotary shaft 71 (it can be rotary shaft in middle as shown in Figure 1 ), and first cam 1 and second cam 2 can be welded with rotary sleeve of first rotary shaft 71 respectively, so that first cam 1 and second cam 2 can be synchronous rotation.Second clutch transmission arm 4 can be installed on third rotary shaft 73 (it can be rotary shaft on right side as shown in Figure 1 ), and second clutch transmission arm 4 can be welded with rotary sleeve of third rotary shaft 73.The sequential action of clutch operating mechanism can also include motor 6.Preferably, motor 6 can be connected with the top of rotary sleeve of first rotary shaft 71, to drive first cam 1 and second cam 2 synchronous rotation.
[0037] Preferably, asFigures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiments, the operating mechanism for sequentially operating the clutch can further comprise a crescent plate 31. The first end of the first clutch transmission arm 3 can be connected to the second rotary shaft 72, so that the first clutch transmission arm 3 can rotate relative to the second rotary shaft 72. The second end of the first clutch transmission arm 3 can be pivotally connected to the first end of the crescent plate 31 through a connecting member, which can be a pivot. The second end of the crescent plate 31 can be connected to the components such as the pull wire or spring of the first clutch, for transmitting the stroke.
[0038] Further, preferably, as shown in the embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiments, the first cam 1 can be formed in a fan shape. Specifically, as shown in the embodiments, the first cam 1 can be formed in a semicircle shape. The pivot at the connection between the first clutch transmission arm 3 and the crescent plate 31 can be in contact with the first cam 1, so that the first cam 1 can drive the first clutch transmission arm 3 to pivot during the rotation of the first cam 1. To avoid interference, the crescent plate 31, the second cam 2 and the first cam 1 can be arranged axially staggered.
[0039] Further preferably, as shown in the embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiments, the first cam 1 can comprise an arc-shaped edge 11 and a straight edge 12. The straight edge 12 can be arranged on the opposite side of the arc-shaped edge 11. The center of the arc-shaped edge 11 can be located on the axis of the first rotary shaft 71. During the rotation of the first cam 1, the straight edge 12 of the first cam 1 first contacts the first clutch transmission arm 3, so that the first clutch transmission arm 3 rotates around the second rotary shaft 72. After the first cam 1 rotates by a first preset angle, the first clutch is engaged, and the arc-shaped edge 11 contacts the first clutch transmission arm 3. In this case, the first clutch transmission arm 3 remains in position (i.e., remains in a position capable of engaging the first clutch), so as to ensure that the first clutch is in the engaged state during the subsequent movement of the first cam 1.
[0040] In addition, preferably, as shown in the embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiments, the first cam 1 can further comprise a hook-shaped protrusion 13 at the connection between the arc-shaped edge 11 and the straight edge 12. Specifically, the straight edge 12 can comprise an arc-shaped protrusion, so that the first cam 1 can easily drive the first clutch transmission arm 3 to rotate when the first cam 1 contacts the second end of the first clutch transmission arm 3.

The first side 21 is arranged at the opposite side of the second side 22. During the rotation of the first cam 1, the first side 21 of the second cam 2 first contacts the second clutch transmission arm 4, so that the second clutch transmission arm 4 rotates around the third rotary shaft 73. Preferably, the second clutch transmission arm 4 is provided with a roller 40 to reduce the friction between the second clutch transmission arm 4 and the second cam 2. After the first cam 1 rotates by a second preset angle, the second clutch is engaged, the second side 22 contacts the second clutch transmission arm 4, and the second side 22 is an arc with the center of the arc being located on the axis of the first rotary shaft 71. In this case, the second clutch transmission arm 4 remains in position (i.e., remains in a position capable of engaging the second clutch), so as to ensure that the second clutch is in the engaged state during the subsequent movement of the second cam 2. Further, the second preset angle is greater than the first preset angle, so as to ensure that the first clutch is engaged before the second clutch. The first preset angle and the second preset angle can be the angle of clockwise rotation of the first cam 1.
[0042] Preferably, as shown in the embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment, the second clutch transmission arm 4 can be formed in a hook-shaped structure. Specifically, the second clutch transmission arm 4 can include a first plate 401 and a second plate 402 which are welded to the rotary sleeve of the third rotary shaft 73 and form an included angle therebetween (i.e., the first plate 401 and the second plate 402 are connected to form a hook-shaped structure), and the third rotary shaft 73 is arranged at the connection of the two plates. The hook-shaped structure enables the second clutch transmission arm 4 to cooperate with the second cam 2 during the resetting process. Specifically, one end of the first plate 401 is connected to the second plate 402 through the rotary sleeve, and the other end of the first plate 401 is formed with a bent portion 4010. The second cam 2 is provided with a reset push rod 23 protruding from the plate surface. During the resetting of the second cam 2, the reset push rod 23 can abut against the bent portion 4010, thereby pushing the second clutch transmission arm 4 to reset. In this way, the second cam 2 can abut against the partial position of the second clutch transmission arm 4 during clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation, so as to facilitate the driving of the second clutch transmission arm 4 to rotate relative to the third rotary shaft 73 by the second cam 2. The connecting arm 41 can also be welded to the rotary sleeve of the third rotary shaft 73 to rotate synchronously with the second clutch transmission arm 4.
[0043] Further preferably, as shown in the embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment, the second clutch transmission arm 4 can also be welded to the connecting arm 41, so that the connecting arm 41 can rotate synchronously with the second clutch transmission arm 4. The connecting arm 41 is used to connect the pull wire or spring of the second clutch, so as to transmit the stroke.
[0044] Further, the utility model discloses a harvester, the harvester includes the operating mechanism of sequential action of clutch as described above.
[0045] During use, the operating mechanism of sequential action of clutch can realize the combination of the first clutch and the second clutch in fixed sequence by adjusting the shape and relative position of the first cam 1 and the second cam 2.
