It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] This utility model first provides a return device.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, the return device includes:

[0044] The return plate 1 includes a push section 11 and a grid section 12 arranged sequentially from back to front. The top surface of the push section 11 is provided with a number of protrusions that are spaced apart and all protrude forward. The grid section 12 is provided with a number of through holes that are spaced apart and pass through vertically.

[0045] The transmission component 2 is connected to the return plate 1 and can swing back and forth to drive the return plate 1 to reciprocate in the front and back direction.

[0046] In the return device of this embodiment, the return disk 1 includes a pushing section 11 and a grid section 12 arranged sequentially from back to front. The top surface of the pushing section 11 has multiple protrusions arranged at intervals and all protruding forward, which gives the pushing section 11 good ability to push away debris. The grid section 12 has multiple through holes arranged at intervals and extending vertically, which allows some debris to be removed from the return disk 1 in advance through the through holes. With this configuration, when the return device is applied to a combine harvester, the debris (mainly including long stems, short stalks, residual ears, grains, husks, dust, etc.) that are removed from the separating concave plate 3 will fall into the grid. Upon reaching the return plate 1, the impurities falling into the push section 11 can quickly flow to the grid section 12 under the push of the protrusion. The impurities falling into and flowing to the grid section 12 can leave the return plate 1 in advance through the through holes and fall more dispersedly into the cleaning screen 4 located below. In this way, the residence time of impurities on the return plate 1 is shortened, avoiding the problem of impurity blockage caused by the accumulation of impurities on the return plate 1. At the same time, it can prevent the impurities on the return plate 1 from falling into the cleaning screen 4 in a concentrated manner through the front end of the return plate 1, which would cause the impurities to accumulate on the cleaning screen 4 and cause impurity blockage.

[0047] In practical applications, the transmission component 2 is used to drive the drive component, so that it swings back and forth under the drive of the drive component to drive the return disk 1 to reciprocate in the back-and-forth direction. Specifically, the transmission component 2 can be a swing arm or a sprocket.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the grid segment 12 extends in a wavy shape along the front-to-back direction, with the protruding portion protruding towards the front. This configuration effectively improves the waste pushing capability of the grid segment 12 and further shortens the residence time of waste on the return disk 1.

[0049] Specifically, the grid segment 12 can be a corrugated plate structure.

[0050] In one embodiment, the multiple through holes are divided into multiple groups, and the multiple groups of through holes are arranged at equal intervals along the front-to-back direction. The multiple through holes in each group are arranged at equal intervals along the left-to-right direction. This arrangement ensures that the multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the grid section 12, so that some impurities can be dispersed and evenly sprinkled onto the cleaning screen 4 located below through the multiple through holes.

[0051] Specifically, the through hole can be round, waist-shaped, polygonal, or elliptical, etc.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the multiple through holes can also be distributed in other ways. For example, the multiple through holes are divided into multiple groups, and the multiple groups of through holes are arranged at equal intervals along the direction from the center to the edge of the grid segment 12. The multiple through holes in each group are arranged at equal intervals around the center of the grid segment 12.

[0053] In one embodiment, the grid segment 12 is a plate structure with multiple through holes formed by stamping. This gives the grid segment 12 good structural strength.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 3 As shown, grid segment 12 is a steel wire mesh structure.

[0055] Understandably, the mesh size of the wire mesh structure facilitates the removal and falling of debris, and its lighter weight effectively reduces the load on the drive components, resulting in lower production costs.

[0056] Specifically, the grid segment 12 can be a steel wire woven mesh, which is easy to carry and easy to process and manufacture. It can carry a variety of steel wire woven meshes of different specifications for different crops, making it more adaptable.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, multiple protrusions are arranged at equal intervals along the front-to-back direction, and the protrusions are strip-shaped extending along the left-to-right direction. This arrangement effectively further improves the redundant pushing capability of the pushing section 11.

[0058] Specifically, the pushing section 11 can be a plate-like structure, and multiple protrusions can be formed by stamping.

[0059] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 As shown, the transmission component 2 is a swing arm, one end of which is movably connected to the bottom rear end of the return plate 1. In practical applications, the other end of the swing arm can be indirectly or directly connected to the drive component, so that it swings back and forth in the front and back direction under the drive component, thereby driving the return plate 1 to move back and forth in the front and back direction.

[0060] Specifically, one end of the swing arm is hinged to the bottom of the rear end of the return plate 1 via a hinge shaft.

[0061] In practical applications, in order to ensure the reliability of the swing of the return plate 1, the return device also includes a driven arm, one end of which is hinged to the return plate 1, and the other end is used to be hinged to the base or other support.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, the return disk 1 includes:

[0063] The return disk body forms a push section 11 and a grid section 12;

[0064] Two guide vanes 13 extend upward at an angle from the left and right sides of the return plate body, respectively.

[0065] In this way, under the guiding action of the two guide plates 13, it can be ensured that most of the impurities separated from the separation concave plate can fall into the return plate 1.

[0066] Specifically, the return plate body may include an outer frame, a push plate and a grid plate. The push plate and the grid plate are respectively installed in the outer frame and form the push section 11 and the grid section 12 respectively. Two guide plates 13 are fixedly connected to the outer frame.

[0067] This utility model also proposes a cleaning system.

[0068] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning system includes:

[0069] Separate concave plate 3, arranged along the front-to-back direction;

[0070] The cleaning screen 4 is arranged along the front-to-back direction and is positioned directly below the separation concave plate 3;

[0071] The aforementioned return device has a return plate 1 positioned between the separation concave plate 3 and the cleaning screen 4, and is arranged at an angle downwards from back to front.

[0072] The driving component (not shown in the figure) is connected to the transmission component 2 to drive the transmission component 2 to swing back and forth.

[0073] Specifically, the tilt angle of the return disc 1 in the initial position can be 3° to 15°, preferably 6°; the distance between the rear end of the return disc 1 in the initial position and the rear end of the separating concave plate 3 in the front-rear direction can be 0mm to 30mm, preferably 24mm; the distance between the rear end of the return disc 1 in the initial position and the rear end of the separating concave plate 3 in the vertical direction can be 100mm to 500mm, preferably 145mm; the distance between the front end of the return disc 1 in the initial position and the threshing concave plate 5 located in front of the separating concave plate 3 in the vertical direction can be 150mm to 600mm, preferably 200mm; the return disc 1 in the initial position... The distance between the front end of the return plate 1 and the vibrating plate 6 located in front of the cleaning screen 4 in the front-back direction can be 0mm to 200mm, preferably 100mm; the distance between the front end of the return plate 1 in the initial position and the vibrating plate 6 located in front of the cleaning screen 4 in the vertical direction can be 100mm to 500mm, preferably 169mm; the distance between the front end of the return plate 1 in the initial position and the front end of the cleaning screen 4 in the vertical direction can be 150mm to 700mm, preferably 287mm; the distance between the front end of the return plate 1 in the initial position and the front end of the cleaning screen 4 in the front-back direction can be 0mm to 250mm, preferably 143mm. Through the design of these angle and distance parameters, the rationality of the installation position of the return plate 1 in the cleaning system can be ensured, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0074] It should be noted that the method and structure of driving the transmission component 2 to swing back and forth to drive the return plate 1 to reciprocate in the front and back direction are well known to those skilled in the art and are not part of the core improvement of this utility model. Therefore, its specific structure and method will not be described in detail.

[0075] This utility model also proposes a combine harvester, which includes the aforementioned cleaning system. Clearly, this combine harvester also possesses the technical effects brought about by the aforementioned return-feeding device.

[0076] Specifically, the combine harvester can be a small to medium feed rate combine harvester.
