Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain harvesting technology, and in particular to a grain crop harvester. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, the harvesting of grain crops is a crucial step in the process. With the continuous advancement of agricultural scale and modernization, and the increasing demands for agricultural production efficiency, the application of grain crop harvesters has become increasingly important. They can greatly reduce the intensity of manual labor and significantly improve the speed and efficiency of harvesting operations. Early potato harvesting relied mainly on manual digging, a method that was not only labor-intensive and time-consuming but also extremely inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale planting. However, with technological advancements, grain crop harvesters have emerged.

[0003] Most harvesters typically use a walking mechanism and a collecting mechanism working together. The digging shovel comes into contact with the soil, and the power of the walking mechanism causes the digging shovel to penetrate into the soil, digging out the potatoes inside. Then, the potatoes are transported to multiple conveyor rods connected between two chains to transport them backward, thus completing the harvesting of potatoes.

[0004] In existing technologies, some harvesters, when conveying potatoes backward through multiple conveying pipes, cause the potatoes to be tightly covered with moist soil because they are directly dug out of the soil by the digging shovel. This requires additional manual cleaning, which increases labor costs. Alternatively, additional vibrating screens can be used to remove the soil, which requires purchasing additional screens, increasing equipment costs and reducing the efficiency of potato harvesting. Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a grain crop harvester is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a grain crop harvester, including a frame 1. This frame 1 serves as the core support structure of the entire harvester, stably supporting all its components. A drive assembly is fixedly connected to the top right side of the frame 1. This drive assembly is a crucial component providing the power source for the entire harvesting operation. A transmission rod 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive assembly, effectively transmitting the power generated by the drive assembly to other related components.

[0027] The drive assembly includes a motor 2, which serves as the power generator.

Multiple digging shovels 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the frame 1, efficiently excavating potatoes from the soil. Multiple inclined protective rods 13 are fixedly connected to the top left side of the frame 1. These inclined protective rods 13 can, to some extent, prevent potatoes from accidentally falling out of the frame 1 during conveying, providing good protection.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rear side of the transmission rod 4. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel 14, which is internally fixedly connected to the rear end of the transmission rod 4. A driven wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the support rod 15. The driven wheel 16 and the drive wheel 14 cooperate to realize the transmission and conversion of power. A second pulley 17 is sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel 14 and the driven wheel 16. The structure and material of the second pulley 17 are similar to those of the first pulley 7, which can stably transmit power. A support rod 15 is rotatably connected to the top right side of the frame 1. An eccentric wheel 18 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the support rod 15.

[0031] The screening assembly includes an L-shaped connecting rod 20, the outer top of which is rotatably connected to the inner left side of the connecting block 19, allowing it to rotate flexibly according to the movement of the connecting block 19. Limiting rods 21 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the frame 1, restricting the rotation range of the L-shaped connecting rod 20 to ensure its stability and reliability. Two auxiliary rods 22 are rotatably connected to the bottom left side of the frame 1, providing auxiliary support for the swaying of the sieve plate 23.

By tightening the nuts 30, the walking device can be tightly connected to the harvester to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0033] Working principle: First, start motor 2 to drive reducer 3 to rotate. Reducer 3 then drives transmission rod 4 to rotate. When transmission rod 4 rotates, it drives rotating wheel 5 fixedly connected to its front side to rotate. Rotating wheel 5 drives rotating wheel 6 at the front left end of frame 1, which is connected to it, to rotate via pulley 7. Rotating rod 8 fixedly connected to the rear end of rotating wheel 6 rotates accordingly. Rotating rod 8 drives sprocket 9 fixedly connected to its outside to rotate. Multiple sprockets 9 rotate inside frame 1 and drive conveyor rod 11 to move via chain 10. At the same time, digging shovel 12 at the bottom right side of frame 1 digs potatoes. The dug potatoes are conveyed by conveyor rod 11 and fall onto screen plate 23.

[0034] The rotation of the transmission rod 4 also drives the drive wheel 14, which is fixedly connected to its rear end, to rotate. The drive wheel 14 drives the driven wheel 16, which is fixedly connected to the rear end of the support rod 15, to rotate through the pulley 17. The rotation of the support rod 15 causes the eccentric wheels 18, which are fixedly connected to its front and rear ends, to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric wheels 18 causes the connecting block 19, which is rotatably connected to the opposite side, to move. The movement of the connecting block 19 causes the middle end of the L-shaped connecting rod 20, which is rotatably connected to the left side, to rotate outside the limit rod 21. One side of the sieve plate 23, which is fixedly connected to the side close to the L-shaped connecting rod 20, is lifted. The other side of the sieve plate 23, in cooperation with the auxiliary rod 22, which is rotatably connected to the bottom left side of the frame 1, causes the sieve plate 23 to sway, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of separating potatoes from soil.

[0035] When the walking device is connected to the harvester, align the mounting block 26 on the right end of the frame 1 with the walking device, pass the bolt 27 through the mounting block 26, slide the shim 28 on the outside of the bolt 27, fix the strong spring 29 between each pair of shims 28, and finally thread the nut 30 on the outside of the bolt 27 and tighten it, thereby improving the harvester's buffering and shock absorption capacity during the walking process and ensuring connection stability.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
