Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] refer to Figures 1-9 A transmission structure for a corn harvester, comprising:

[0041] A frame 100 is provided, a cutting table 101 is provided on the frame 100, and a fan 102 is provided on the cutting table 101;

[0042] A stalk-pulling chain 103 is provided on the header 101, and a stalk-pulling roller 104 is provided on the header 101, with a guide cone 105 connected to the stalk-pulling roller 104;

[0043] A bracket 106 is provided on one side of the cutting table 101, and multiple peeling shafts 107 are rotatably connected to the bracket 106;

[0044] Multiple actuating shafts 108 are mounted on the bracket 106, and multiple levers 109 are mounted on the actuating shafts 108;

[0045] A drive shaft 110 is provided on the frame 100, and a rotating shaft 111 is also provided on the frame 100;

[0046] Reversing box 112 is mounted on frame 100;

[0047] The transmission component a, located in the reversing box 112, is used to drive the rotation of the reeling chain 103, the guide cone 105 and the stalk pulling roller 104.

[0048] A transmission component b is provided between the drive shaft 110, the rotating shaft 111 and the reversing box 112, and is used to drive the reeling chain 103, the guide cone 105 and the stalk pulling roller 104 to rotate through the rotating shaft 111 when the drive shaft 110 rotates.

[0049] The working principle of this device is to complete the harvesting and processing of crops through a series of cooperating components. First, the drive shaft 110 starts and drives the rotating shaft 111 to rotate. The rotating shaft 111 is connected to the transmission component b between the reversing box 112 and the rotating box 111. When the rotating shaft 111 rotates, the rotational motion of the drive shaft 110 is transmitted to the transmission component a in the reversing box 112 through the transmission component b, which in turn drives the reeling chain 103, the guide cone 105, and the stem-pulling roller 104 to rotate. The reeling chain 103 moves on the header 101, playing a role in reeling and cutting the crop. The guide cone 105 guides the crop forward, while the stem-pulling roller 104 helps to pull the stem and keep the crop stable. Multiple peeling shafts 107 on the support 106 cooperate through rotation to further process the outer skin of the crop. Multiple paddles 109 on the agitator shaft 108 complete the agitation action under the drive of the reeling chain 103 and other transmission components to ensure effective processing of the crop. This device achieves efficient harvesting and processing of crops through a series of precisely coordinated transmission systems and mechanical components. The synergistic effect of these components ensures minimal damage to crops during harvesting, while simultaneously improving operational efficiency. The design of the guide cone 105 and the stem-pulling roller 104 allows for a smooth transition of crops, preventing work interruptions due to jamming. The coordination of the reeling chain 103 and the reeling blades 109 effectively improves the precision of crop separation and processing, adapting to the processing needs of different crops. The structural design of the reversing box 112 and the transmission system also makes the operation of the entire device more stable, reducing the probability of malfunctions and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0050] As a further part of this utility model, the bottom of the cutting table 101 is connected to a mounting bracket 400, and the mounting bracket 400 is provided with a returning blade 401. The transmission component a can also drive the returning blade 401 to rotate.

[0051] By incorporating the returning blade 401, crop residues can be processed immediately after harvesting, further improving operational efficiency and environmental friendliness. Driven by transmission component a, the returning blade 401 achieves a rotary cutting action, processing the harvested crop residues and evenly returning them to the field. This not only helps loosen the soil and recycle nutrients but also reduces the impact of residue accumulation on the land, contributing to improved soil fertility and a better growing environment for crops.

[0052] As a further part of this utility model, the transmission component a includes a transmission box 200 connected to the reversing box 112, a transmission shaft a201 is provided inside the transmission box 200, two reeling shafts 202 are provided on the transmission box 200, a reeling chain 103 is sleeved on the reeling shafts 202, and a gear transmission mechanism a203 is provided between the reeling shafts 202 and the transmission shaft a201.

[0053] By setting up a transmission box 200 and a gear transmission mechanism a203, the transmission shaft a201 inside the transmission box 200 is connected to the reeling shaft 202 via the gear transmission mechanism a203. This gear transmission design not only improves transmission efficiency but also ensures the synchronization of the rotation speed of the reeling chain 103 with other components, thus avoiding jamming or malfunctions caused by mismatched speeds. The reeling chain 103 smoothly completes the tasks of reeling and cutting the crop through the rotation of the reeling shaft 202. The efficient cooperation of the gear transmission mechanism a203 also ensures the uniform transmission of power, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire harvesting device.

[0054] As a further part of this utility model, the transmission component a also includes two transmission shafts b204 rotatably connected to the reversing box 112, and a gear transmission mechanism b205 is provided between the two transmission shafts b204. A chain (not shown in the figure) is provided between one of the transmission shafts b204 and the shaft of the returning blade 401, and a chain (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the other transmission shaft b204 and the transmission shaft a201.

[0055] By setting up two drive shafts b204 and a gear transmission mechanism b205, the power of drive shaft a201 can be more efficiently distributed to the reversing box 112. The function of gear transmission mechanism b205 is to transmit power from one drive shaft b204 to the other, thereby ensuring the balance and stability of the transmission system. Drive shaft b204 is connected to the shaft of the returning blade 401 via a chain, allowing the returning blade 401 to obtain a continuous and stable power source for cutting and returning operations. Simultaneously, the chain connection between the other drive shaft b204 and drive shaft a201 ensures the synchronous operation of the reeling chain 103 and other related components. The chain drive design effectively reduces mechanical wear, improves overall transmission efficiency, and has good adaptability under different loads, avoiding excessive wear or energy efficiency reduction caused by transmission imbalance in traditional transmission methods. The precise design of the entire transmission system ensures that each component operates in optimal condition, improving the working efficiency and reliability of the device.

[0056] As a further part of this utility model, the transmission component a also includes a transmission shaft c206 connected to the transmission box 200, a gear transmission mechanism c207 between the transmission shaft c206 and the transmission shaft a201, the pulled stem roller 104 is connected to the transmission shaft c206, the transmission box 200 is also rotatably connected to the transmission shaft d208, there is a gear transmission mechanism d209 between the transmission shaft d208 and the transmission shaft a201, and the peeling shaft 107 is connected to the transmission shaft d208;

[0057] By configuring drive shafts c206 and d208, and their respective gear transmission mechanisms c207 and d, power can be more flexibly distributed to different working components, thereby achieving more precise control and efficient operation. The gear transmission mechanism c207 between drive shafts c206 and a201 ensures the stable operation of the stem-pulling roller 104, which plays an auxiliary role in crop harvesting, helping to straighten the crop and prevent knotting or jamming. Meanwhile, the gear transmission mechanism d209 between drive shafts d208 and a201 drives the peeling shaft 107 via drive shaft d208, ensuring the smooth rotation of the peeling shaft 107 and effectively removing the crop's outer skin, further improving harvesting efficiency and crop quality. Through this series of transmission devices, the working components can operate independently yet collaboratively, allowing each component to efficiently complete its function without affecting overall efficiency, ensuring the device's working efficiency and stability. The gear transmission design not only improves the overall transmission efficiency, but also reduces frictional losses between components, reduces failures caused by mechanical wear, further extends the service life of the equipment, and ensures long-term efficient operation.

[0058] As a further aspect of this invention, a drive shaft e210 is connected to one side of the drive shaft a201, and a chain (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the drive shaft e210 and the actuating shaft 108.

[0059] By incorporating a chain (not shown in the figure), the power of the drive shaft e210 can be effectively transmitted to the actuating shaft 108, ensuring that the actuating shaft 108 can rotate smoothly and drive the actuating blade 109 to perform its operation. Combined with the rotation of the peeling shaft 107, the actuating blade 109 effectively helps to peel the corn husk and remove the corn from the header 101. During rotation, the actuating blade 109 works in conjunction with the action of the peeling shaft 107 to help peel the outer husk of the corn while avoiding excessive damage to the corn kernels. The peeling shaft 107 itself uses rotational force to rub and peel the corn husk, while the rotation of the actuating blade 109 helps to hold the corn at the appropriate angle and direction, ensuring that the husk is removed evenly and effectively. The rotation of the actuating blade 109 not only enhances the contact force with the corn husk but also prevents the corn from getting stuck in the equipment, ensuring its smooth passage through the entire processing process. This synergistic working method effectively improves peeling efficiency, reduces damage to the corn kernels during husk peeling, and also improves the overall harvesting and processing accuracy.

[0060] As a further part of this utility model, the transmission component b includes a sprocket a300 connected to the drive shaft 110 and the rotating shaft 111. A chain (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the sprockets on the drive shaft 110 and the rotating shaft 111. A sprocket b301 is provided on the transmission shaft a201 and the rotating shaft 111 respectively. A chain (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the two sprockets b301.

[0061] By configuring sprocket a300 and a chain (not shown in the figure), efficient power transmission between drive shaft 110 and rotating shaft 111 can be achieved. Drive shaft 110 is connected to the sprocket on rotating shaft 111 via sprocket a300, ensuring that rotating shaft 111 starts synchronously with the rotation of drive shaft 110. The chain stabilizes power transmission, preventing mechanical wear or energy loss. Simultaneously, transmission shaft a201 is connected to sprocket b301 on rotating shaft 111, and the chain between the two sprockets b301 further enhances the stability and efficiency of the transmission, ensuring stable rotation of rotating shaft 111. This sprocket and chain design allows the entire transmission system to maintain efficient power transmission under different load conditions, while also possessing strong adaptability and reliability. Chain drive has a simple structure, low cost, and convenient maintenance, ensuring system stability during long-term operation, effectively reducing the possibility of failure, and improving the overall efficiency and durability of the device.

[0062] Furthermore, compared to existing technologies that typically use a single shaft for power transmission, this device employs a rotating shaft 111 structure, which outputs power via sprockets, directly transmitting it to the peeling shaft 107 and the returning blade. This design effectively avoids the problem of a single shaft breaking due to excessive pressure, ensuring a smooth and efficient power transmission process. By distributing the power load, mechanical damage caused by excessive power output is reduced, while power loss is avoided, enabling the device to maintain stable operation under high loads, thus improving overall work efficiency and equipment durability.

[0063] As a further part of this utility model, a bushing 302 is connected to the frame 100, and a bearing 303 is provided inside the bushing 302. The rotating shaft 111 extends into the bushing 302 and is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 303.

[0064] By incorporating bushing 302 and bearing 303, the rotating shaft 111 can be effectively supported and its stable operation ensured. The design of bushing 302 provides better support for the rotating shaft 111, reducing friction between it and the frame 100, and improving the working efficiency and durability of the rotating shaft 111. The inner ring of bearing 303 connects to the rotating shaft 111, enabling the rotating shaft 111 to maintain smooth rotation during operation, reducing heat and energy loss caused by friction, and extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the cooperation between bushing 302 and bearing 303 can effectively reduce wear on mechanical parts, reduce the probability of failure, and ensure the stability of the entire device during long-term use.
