Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a tractor-mounted peanut harvester header. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of social technology, agricultural machinery is being used more widely in agricultural operations. Currently, peanut harvesters are generally divided into two categories: self-propelled peanut harvesters and towed peanut harvesters. Self-propelled harvesters are self-powered, and their cost is relatively high; towed peanut harvesters utilize the power of a tractor, and the tractor and implements are connected through a traction transmission mechanism.

[0003] At present, there are the following technical problems with tractor-driven peanut harvesters: (1) The power input shaft on the cutter head is connected to the power output shaft of the traction equipment through a universal joint. Since the maximum working angle of the universal joint is limited, if the turning angle is greater than the maximum working angle during turning operations, the universal joint is easily damaged. Therefore, the tractor needs to maintain a large turning radius when turning. If a large working angle is required, the output power needs to be cut off before turning, and the output power needs to be given again after turning. This operation is cumbersome and not conducive to improving work efficiency. (2) The angle adjustment of the cutter head is inconvenient. Due to the unevenness of the farmland ground, the regional adaptability is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tractor-mounted peanut harvester header that can achieve free steering at large angles and has convenient header angle adjustment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a traction peanut harvester header, including a frame and a traction frame, wherein a pickup is installed at the front end of the frame; a traction shaft is installed on the frame, and a traction sleeve is installed on the traction frame, wherein the traction sleeve is rotatably fitted onto the traction shaft; and an angle adjustment drive mechanism is installed between the frame and the traction frame to drive the frame to rotate around the traction shaft.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the traction frame includes a front traction arm, a rear traction arm, and a mounting frame; the front traction arm and the rear traction arm are rotatably connected by a transition assembly, the rear traction arm is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the traction swivel via a traction fork plate.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a gearbox is installed on the traction frame. The gearbox includes an upper housing and a lower housing, which are rotatably connected.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) Since the frame is equipped with a traction shaft and the traction frame is equipped with a traction sleeve, the traction sleeve is rotatably fitted onto the traction shaft, and an angle adjustment drive mechanism is installed between the frame and the traction frame, the frame can be driven to rotate around the traction shaft through the angle adjustment drive mechanism, thereby realizing the adjustment of the cutting table angle. The structure is simple and reasonable, and the operation is convenient.

[0014] (2) Since the front traction arm and the rear traction arm are rotatably connected through the adapter assembly, the upper box and the lower box are rotatably connected, the front traction arm is fixedly connected to the lower box through the front connector, the rear traction arm is fixedly connected to the upper box through the rear connector, and a drive shaft is rotatably installed between the upper box and the lower box. The power input shaft and the power output shaft are respectively connected to the drive shaft for transmission. In this way, when towing agricultural implements, the lower box rotates with the front traction arm, and the upper box rotates with the rear traction arm, thereby achieving free steering at a large angle without affecting the normal transmission and output of power.

[0015] (3) The front traction arm is fixedly connected to the lower box through the front connector, and the rear traction arm is fixedly connected to the upper box through the rear connector.
