Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to agricultural and livestock machinery, specifically to baler cutting conveyors, and more particularly to a rotary pre-cutting conveyor for balers. Background Technology

[0002] Naturally growing hay can reach a height of 1.5-2.0 meters. Directly compressing and baling it can easily cause the hay to entangle the baler, damaging the mechanical structure and shortening the equipment's lifespan. Adding a pre-cutting function to a high-density, large-area hay baler effectively avoids this type of mechanical failure. The pre-cutting device not only effectively prevents hay from entanglement but also significantly reduces the compression load on the pre-compression and compression chambers, thereby reducing external power input and helping to increase the hay's compression density. After being picked up by the pickup, the hay needs to pass through a screw conveyor to the pre-cutting device, and then be fed into the pre-compression chamber via a feeding device. This pickup, conveying, and feeding process is lengthy, reducing feeding efficiency and increasing the probability of feeding blockages. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary pre-cutting conveyor for balers. Its structure is reasonable, which shortens the picking, conveying and feeding stroke of the baler. Moreover, it can ensure that the forage can be pre-cut and forcibly and evenly fed into the pre-compression chamber at any angle within the short stroke. This not only improves harvesting efficiency, but also reduces the probability of feeding blockage failure.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A rotary pre-cutting conveyor for a baler includes a baler, and a rotary pre-cutting conveyor is installed between the baler's pickup and the pre-compression chamber. The pre-cutting conveyor is structured such that a left half-shaft and a right half-shaft are fixedly connected to both ends of a supporting circular tube, and the supporting circular tube is coaxial with the left and right half-shafts. Scraper blades are fixedly connected to the left and right half-shafts at both ends of the supporting circular tube. On the cylindrical surface of the supporting circular tube, left and right symmetrical left conveying spiral blades and left moving cutter teeth and right conveying spiral blades and right moving cutter teeth are arranged sequentially from both ends of the supporting circular tube to the center of the supporting circular tube.

[0005] This utility model comprises a left half-shaft, a right half-shaft, a left conveying spiral blade, a supporting circular tube, a left moving cutter tooth, a right moving cutter tooth, a scraper blade, and a right conveying spiral blade. The left and right half-shafts are fixed to both ends of the supporting circular tube by welding and maintain coaxiality with the supporting circular tube. The left and right conveying spiral blades are symmetrically welded to the left and right sides of the circumferential surface of the supporting circular tube, respectively, and both are arranged coaxially with the supporting circular tube. Scrapers are welded and fixed to the ends of the half-shafts at both ends of the supporting circular tube. The structure of the left and right moving cutter teeth consists of three cutting blades welded and fixed to the circumferential surface of the supporting circular tube as a group. Multiple groups of moving cutter teeth are symmetrically distributed along the circumference of the supporting circular tube and are evenly arranged and fixed to the circumferential surface of the supporting circular tube in a reverse spiral pattern.

[0006] During operation, power is transmitted from the half-shaft to the left conveying screw, rotating the left and right moving cutter teeth and the right conveying screw, driving them to work together to pre-cut the hay conveyed by the pickup and forcefully and evenly feed it into the pre-compression chamber. At the same time, the scraping device can effectively remove weeds that may become entangled during the conveying process.

[0007] Beneficial effects: This invention features a dual function of spiral conveying and pre-cutting forced feeding. Before the forage enters the pre-compression chamber, it simultaneously completes the three processes of conveying, cutting, and forced feeding, shortening the pickup, conveying, and feeding operation process. It not only improves harvesting efficiency and reduces the probability of conveying and feeding failures, but also ensures that forage can be forcibly and uniformly fed into the pre-compression chamber at any angle within a short travel distance. It boasts advantages such as simplicity, maintenance-free operation, fast feeding speed, high efficiency, minimal crop loss, and applicability to various types of forage. Attached Figure Description
