Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular relates to a turning mechanism of a straw crushing device for a harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural mechanization is becoming increasingly widespread, with combine harvesters now used for harvesting crops such as wheat and rice. After threshing, the straw is processed in two ways. One method involves equipping the combine harvester with a straw crushing device located at the outlet of the threshing chamber. The threshed straw is transported to the crushing device, crushed, and then spread back into the field, achieving straw return to the field. The other method involves directly discharging the straw from the combine harvester's threshing chamber and spreading it on the ground, where it can be collected later by other machinery. Intact straw is easier to recycle.

[0003] Different methods of processing straw after threshing require harvesters to be adaptable to different harvesting requirements. Existing harvesters are usually equipped with straw crushing devices, which are fixed to the straw outlet at the rear of the threshing chamber by bolts.

[0004] When harvesters are operating across regions, they need to be transported by trucks. When renting trucks, the most suitable length should be selected. However, the protruding straw crushing device at the rear of the threshing chamber often necessitates a longer truck, increasing transportation costs. To save on transportation costs, the straw crushing device needs to be removed, and its reinstallation can be determined upon arrival at the destination.

[0005] After the harvester arrives at its destination, the decision on whether to disassemble the straw crushing device is made based on the user's straw processing requirements. If the user requests that the straw not be crushed, then the straw crushing device needs to be disassembled. The straw crushing device consists of a housing, several fixed blades, and a moving shaft with several movable blades. The straw crushing device is very heavy, and disassembly and assembly at the harvesting site cannot be completed by one person. Moreover, after disassembly, it must be reassembled after the harvesting operation is finished. Although the disassembly and assembly method does not require much technical skill, the weight of the straw crushing device itself makes the disassembly and assembly process still very difficult.

[0006] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN216960809U discloses a tilting mechanism for a harvester's straw crushing device. This mechanism includes a threshing chamber and a straw crushing device located at the outlet of the threshing chamber. The top of the straw crushing device is connected to the outlet of the threshing chamber via a rotating shaft, allowing the straw crushing device to rotate vertically around this shaft. A torsion spring is mounted on the shaft, with one end fixed to the top of the straw crushing device. A locking device for securing the straw crushing device is also provided between the threshing chamber and the straw crushing device. The patent also discloses a harvester utilizing this tilting mechanism, enabling rapid disassembly and installation of the straw crushing device. This allows for the selection of trucks with appropriate wheelbase or track length for long-distance transport, reducing transportation costs associated with using longer trucks. Furthermore, it allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the straw crushing device during harvesting operations, based on the post-harvest straw processing requirements. However, the coaxial rotation between the traction plate and the crusher in this flipping mechanism increases the burden on the connecting shaft, resulting in poor structural stability. Furthermore, the holes in the traction plate further reduce the strength of the traction plate, making it prone to damage due to the heavy weight of the crusher. Utility Model Content

[0026] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of the flipping mechanism of a straw crushing device for a harvester.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a flipping mechanism for a harvester straw crushing device, comprising a harvester threshing chamber 1 and a straw crushing device 2. Supports 3 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the harvester threshing chamber 1, and the supports 3 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the harvester threshing chamber 1 by multiple bolts. An L-shaped opening is provided on the lower side of the support 3 away from the harvester threshing chamber 1. Side plates 4 are provided on the inner walls of the top ends of both sides of the L-shaped opening. A connecting shaft 5 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 4 via bearings. The top ends of the straw crushing device 2 are fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 5 via connecting arms 6. The connecting arms 6 have an L-shaped structure. With the connecting arms 6, when the connecting shaft 5 rotates, it will drive the connecting arms 6 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 5, thereby causing the connecting arms 6 to drive the straw crushing device 2 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 5. This prevents the traction plate 8 and the straw crushing device 2 from rotating coaxially, increasing the stability of the structure.

[0028] The straw crushing device 2 has two vertically distributed fixing seats 13 on both end side walls, which can be fixedly connected to the side walls of the support 3. A rotating shaft 14 is provided at the end of each fixing seat 13, and a protrusion is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 14. The protrusion is fixedly connected to the side wall of the straw crushing device 2. This rotatable connection between the fixing seats 13 and the side walls of the straw crushing device 2 facilitates angle adjustment of the fixing seats 13. Two through holes are provided on the surface of each fixing seat 13, and corresponding fixing holes are provided on the side walls of the support 3. The through holes and fixing holes are fixedly connected by bolts. This connection between the straw crushing device 2 and the support 3 via the fixing seats 13 and bolts facilitates opening the straw crushing device 2 for maintenance.

[0029] A rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the side plate 4 via a bearing. A traction plate 8 is fitted onto the end of the rotating shaft 7. The traction plate 8 is half of an octagon. No opening is needed on the surface of the traction plate 8, ensuring the overall strength of the traction plate 8. Furthermore, by using half of an octagon for the traction plate 8, material is saved. To limit the movement of the rope 12, an arc-shaped groove (not shown) can be provided on the side of the traction plate 8, and the rope 12 is distributed along the arc-shaped groove. The rotating shaft 7 and the connecting shaft 5 are connected by a transmission assembly 9, which includes a first sprocket 15, a second sprocket 16, and an auxiliary wheel 17. The first sprocket 15 and the second sprocket 16 are respectively sleeved on the connecting shaft 5 and the rotating shaft 7. The auxiliary wheel 17 is rotatably connected to the surface of the side plate 4 via a rotating shaft, and the first sprocket 15 and the second sprocket 16 are connected by a chain 18. The side wall of the auxiliary wheel 17 contacts the back of the chain 18. Through the cooperation between the first sprocket 15, the second sprocket 16, the auxiliary wheel 17, and the chain 18, when the drive winch 10 winds the rope 12, the rope 12 will be pulled. The traction plate 8 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 7, causing the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the second sprocket 16 to rotate. Under the action of the chain 18, the chain 18 drives the first sprocket 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 5 to rotate. This causes the connecting shaft 5 to drive the connecting arm 6 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 5. Consequently, the connecting arm 6 drives the straw crushing device 2 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 5. This prevents the traction plate 8 and the straw crushing device 2 from rotating coaxially, increasing the stability of the structure.

[0030] A rope 12 is provided at the end of the traction plate 8, and a winch 10 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the support 3. The end of the rope 12 is wound inside the winch 10. Fixed pulleys 11, corresponding to the rope 12, are provided on the side wall of the support 3. The rope 12 passes around the fixed pulleys 11 and connects to the winch 10. The winch 10 is either electric or manual. The winch 10 is readily available on the market in the prior art. It is located at a low position outside the outlet of the threshing chamber, so that it can be easily operated by hand.

[0031] The harvester is a commercially available harvester, including a threshing chamber 1. A straw crushing device 2 is provided at the outlet of the threshing chamber 1. A tilting mechanism of this invention is provided between the straw crushing device 2 and the threshing chamber 1. When needed, the straw crushing device 2 can be lifted, for example, when straw crushing is not required during harvesting, or during transportation. Lifting the straw crushing device 2 frees up space below it, making the length and height of that part suitable for truck transportation.

[0032] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
