TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, especially relates to a straw collecting machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] The straw collecting machine is an agricultural machine, mainly used for collecting and processing crop straw. It can help farmers to crush and collect the harvested crop straw, so as to facilitate subsequent feed processing or direct return to the field. The emergence of the straw collecting machine greatly improves the agricultural production efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of farmers, and is helpful to environmental protection.
[0003] The existing straw collecting machine usually adopts a traction type or a self-propelled structure, cuts the straw by rotating cutters, and collects the straw into a material collecting box by using a fan. However, the existing straw collecting machine still has some problems in actual application.

Second, the traditional straw collecting machine usually adopts a single fan system. Although the single fan system is simple in structure, the negative pressure generated by only one fan limits the operation efficiency, resulting in low working efficiency, which is difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale straw collection.

The top of the housing 1 is connected to two blower assemblies 4 to provide negative pressure, drawing straw into the housing 1. Each blower assembly 4 is connected to a blower duct 5 for conveying the straw to a collection compartment. The suspension frame 6 is mounted on the front side of the housing 1 for connecting to a tractor. A first gearbox 7 is mounted on the housing 1. The first gearbox 7 has a power input shaft on its front side, which is connected to the tractor's power output shaft. A second gearbox 9 is installed on each of the left and right sides of the housing 1.

A gear set is installed inside the first gearbox 7, which drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate through the meshing of the gears. Both ends of the shaft tube 2 are connected to a second gearbox 9. Each blower assembly 4 is connected to a second gearbox 9. Two shock-absorbing tail wheel assemblies 10 are rotatably installed on the rear side of the housing 1 to help the device maintain stability during movement and ensure proper contact between the picking claw 3 and the ground during operation.

[0033] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, two second gearboxes 9 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides.

One first pulley 91 drives the second pulley 92 on the same side to rotate via a belt. One second pulley 92 drives the rotating shaft 42 on the same side to rotate, thereby driving the fan wheel 43 on the same side to work. At the same time, one first pulley 91 drives the third pulley 93 on the same side to rotate via a belt. The third pulleys 93 on both sides simultaneously drive the shaft tube 2 to rotate, thereby driving the picking claw 3 to work.
[0034] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a first main beam 11 is also included, which is installed on the front side of the housing 1. The first main beam 11 is arranged laterally.

[0035] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the suspension frame 6 includes an inverted U-shaped bracket 61 and two brackets 62; the bottom end of the inverted U-shaped bracket 61 is connected to the first main beam 11; both brackets 62 are connected to the first main beam 11.

The second main beam 13 is connected to the rear outer wall of the housing 1 by multiple reinforcing ribs. Preferably, the second main beam 13 is a square steel tube with a side length of 100mm. The first gearbox 7 and the two shock-absorbing tail wheel assemblies 10 are both installed on the second main beam 13. Installing the first gearbox 7 and the shock-absorbing tail wheel assemblies 10 on the second main beam 13 can directly utilize the high-strength structural characteristics of the beam to improve the overall load-bearing capacity.
[0038] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a channel is provided between the two fan housings 41, through which the tractor's power output shaft passes and is connected to the power input shaft of the first gearbox 7.
[0039] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the shock-absorbing tail wheel assembly 10 includes a mounting base 101, a connecting base 102, a roller bracket 103, a shock-absorbing spring 104, a limiting rod 105, and a roller 106. The mounting base 101 is mounted on the second main beam 13. The front side of the connecting base 102 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 101 via a longitudinally arranged pin. The roller bracket 103 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the connecting base 102 via a transversely arranged pin, allowing the shock-absorbing tail wheel assembly 10 to swing laterally.

The connecting base 102 is provided with a first limiting groove 107, and the top end of the shock-absorbing spring 104 abuts against the first limiting groove. Inside the groove 107; a second limiting groove 108 is provided on the roller bracket 103, and the bottom end of the shock-absorbing spring 104 abuts against the second limiting groove 108; the shock-absorbing spring 104 is installed between the first limiting groove 107 and the second limiting groove 108 through the limiting rod 105, and the limiting rod 105 is used to limit the maximum distance between the first limiting groove 107 and the second limiting groove 108; the roller 106 is rotatably installed on the roller bracket 103, and the roller 106 is in contact with the ground. When the auxiliary device moves, when the roller 106 is impacted or vibrated, the roller bracket 103 applies pressure to the shock-absorbing spring 104, and the shock-absorbing spring 104 will undergo elastic deformation, thereby playing a buffering role, so that the picking claw 3 maintains relatively stable contact with the ground, ensuring stable straw cutting effect.
[0040] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting seat 102 is provided with a first through hole, which communicates with the first limiting groove 107; the roller bracket 103 is provided with a second through hole, which communicates with the second limiting groove 108. During installation, the limiting rod 105 is inserted from the bottom end of the second through hole, then passes through the shock-absorbing spring 104, until the upper end of the limiting rod 105 exits from the first through hole. The upper end of the limiting rod 105 is mutually limited with the connecting seat 102 by a nut, and the limiting rod 105 is mutually limited with the roller bracket 103 by the head provided at its lower end.
[0041] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a traction seat 14 is also included. The traction seat 14 is mounted on the second main beam 13 and is used to traction the collection carriage. By utilizing the high-strength structural characteristics of the beam, the overall load-bearing capacity is improved.

Moreover, the air outlet 52 reduces the resistance of the straw in the ventilation duct 5 with the help of airflow, while avoiding material blockage and ensuring continuous output of straw at the discharge port 51; the filter screen installed at the air outlet 52 is used to intercept the crushed straw, prevent the straw from being sprayed out from the air outlet 52, and also prevent foreign objects from entering the ventilation duct 5 from the air outlet 52.
[0043] In a further embodiment of this utility model, multiple picking claws 3 are spirally distributed on the shaft tube 2 to facilitate the conveying of straw.
[0044] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 includes a main housing and side plates, with a side plate connected to each of the left and right ends of the main housing; the left and right ends of the first main beam 11 are connected to a side plate; the two ends of the second main beam 13 are connected to a side plate; and a drive shaft 8 is rotatably connected to a side plate.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] The device is suspended at the front of the tractor via a suspension frame 6, connected to the tractor's power output shaft via the power input shaft at the front of the first gearbox 7, and connected to the collection compartment via a traction frame 14 at the rear. When the straw collector starts working, the first gearbox 7 drives two second gearboxes 9 via drive shafts 8 at both ends, which in turn drives two blower wheels 43 and a shaft tube 2. As the shaft tube 2 rotates, multiple picking claws 3 crush the straw on the ground and bring the crushed straw into the housing 1. At the same time, the blower assembly 4 generates negative pressure, drawing the crushed straw from the housing 1 into the blower duct 5, and then spraying it out from the discharge port 51, finally entering the collection compartment. During the operation of this device, the shock-absorbing tail wheel assembly 10 plays a role in assisting movement and absorbing shocks.
