[0037] Further, the technical features described below in various embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] The embodiment provides a cleaning transmissionsystem, as shown in the Fig. 1, the system includes an output pulley 1s in transmission connection with an engine; wherein the output pulley 1s outputs with a three-way transmission, and the three-way transmission is distributed on a same side wall surface of a frame 1.

[0040] In the embodiment, an intermediate transmission shaft 10s is rotatably arranged in two bearing seats at the front end of the frame 1, and one end of which is fixed with an input pulley 11s which is in transmission connection with an engine (not shown in the figure) on the frame 1 through a main clutch belt, and the other end of which is fixed with the output pulley 1s for transmission connection with other power mechanisms of the harvester, and the other power mechanisms include a threshing mechanism, a shredding mechanism, a wind separation mechanism, a grain warehousing mechanism, a debris rethreshing mechanism, a screening mechanism, and the like. The output pulley 1s is a multi-groove pulley, and the output pulley 1s may also be composed of a plurality of multi-groove pulleys which are fixed at one end of the intermediate transmission shaft 10s at the same time, and is suitable for rotating with the intermediate transmission shaft 10s. In the embodiment, the output pulley 1s is connected with the pulleys in other power mechanisms by V-belt transmission. Of course, chains can also be used, but the stability of chain transmission is not as good as that of the V-belt. Secondly, when the threshing drum is blocked, causing the drum cover and other components to be damaged by expansion and cracking, the chains may not be broken, and the power is still transmitted, which is easy to cause component damage. However, when the above situation occurs in V-belt transmission, the V-belt will slip, or be burnt, and the like, which will affect the normal operation, so that the user is reminded to stop the machine in time and then perform cleaning, repair and replacement, and other components will not be damaged, so the V-belt transmission is preferred.

[0041] As shown in the Fig. 1, the first-way transmission includes the output pulley 1s, a first threshing pulley 2s and a second threshing pulley 3s. The output pulley 1s and the first threshing pulley 2s are in transmission connection by three C-shaped V-belts, so that the overall cross section of the V-belts is enlarged and the transmission power is improved. The first threshing pulley 2s and the second threshing pulley 3s are in transmission connection by a 2HB combined belt. The combined belt can fit well with the pulley, is stressed evenly, and has good transmission stability and impact resistance, so as to adapt to the high-strength working environment of the threshing drum.

[0042] The second-way transmission includes the output pulley 1s and a shredder pulley 4s.The shredder is generally arranged at the tail end of the frame 1 and has a large span with the output pulley 1s. Therefore, a first transition wheel 71s is fixed on the frame 1 between the output pulley 1s and the shredder pulley 4s to form a two-stage transmission. The first transition wheel 71s is rotatably arranged on the frame 1 by a mounting frame, and is located on the connection line between the output pulley 1s and the shredder pulley 4s. The first transition wheel 71s adopts a multi-groove pulley. The output pulley 1s is in transmission connection with the first transition wheel 71s, and the first transition wheel 71s is in transmission connection with the shredder pulley 4s.

[0043] The third-way transmission includes the output pulley 1s, a fan pulley 51s, a grain pulley 52s, a debris pulley 53s and a screening pulley 6s. Since there are many transmission components and a large transmission span in the third-waytransmission, a second transition wheel 72s is arranged in the third-way transmission, and the transmission is also divided into two stages. The first-stagetransmission is the transmission connection among the output pulley 1s, the fan pulley 51s, the grain pulley 52s, the second transition wheel 72s and the debris pulley 53s, and the second-stage transmission is the transmission connection between the second transition wheel 72s and the screening pulley 6s. In order to ensure that the rotation directions of the screening pulley 6s and the output pulley 1s are opposite, the second transition wheel 72s adopts a multi-groove pulley. In the first-stage transmission, the outer side surface of the V-belt is in contact with the wheel groove surface of the second transition wheel 72s, so that the rotation direction of the second transition wheel 72s is opposite to the rotation direction of the output pulley, so that the rotation direction of the screening pulley 6s, which is in transmission connection with the second transition wheel 72s, is opposite to the rotation direction of the output pulley 1s.

[0044] In the embodiment, a tensioningassembly is installed between adjacent pulleys, as shown in the Fig. 2, and any one of the tensioning assemblies includes a tensioning arm 81s, a tensioning wheel 82s, a pull rod 83s and a tension spring 84s. In this embodiment, the tensioning arm 81s has a triangular structure, one corner of the triangle is hinged and installed on the frame 1, the other two corners are free ends, the tensioning wheel 82s is rotatably mounted at one free end, and a tensioning spring 84s is arranged between the other free end and the pull rod 83s, the pull rod 83s is fixed to the frame 1, and the tensioning wheel 82s is located between a hinge point of the tensioning arm 81s on the frame 1 and a fixed point of the pull rod 83s on the frame 1, so that under normal conditions, the tensioning wheel 82s is tensioned and abutted on the V-belt by the biasing force of the tensioning spring 84s.

[0045] As shown in the Fig. 3, in the embodiment, a grain auger 521s is arranged on the bottom of the frame 1 in a horizontally penetrating mode, one end of which being fixed with the grain pulley 52s, and the other end of which being connected with a granary auger 522s via a direction-changing gear box 9s; the granary auger 522s is a lifting auger in the vertical direction, which is suitable for lifting the grains transported by the lower grain stringer 521s upward and making the grains enter the granary from the upper inlet of the granary. The debris auger 531s is arranged on the bottom of the frame 1 in a horizontally penetrating mode, one end of which being fixed with the debris pulley 53s, and the other end of which being connected with a rethreshing auger 532s through the direction-changing gearbox 9s. The rethreshing auger 532s is a lifting auger inclined in the vertical direction, which is suitable for lifting the debris carrying grains transported by the lower debris auger 531s upward to the threshing drum for re-threshing, so as to avoid grain waste. The power of grain entering and re-threshing is provided by the output pulley 1s, and the structure is simple and compact.

[0046] The power inputs of the threshing mechanism, the shredding mechanism, the wind separation mechanism, the grain warehousing mechanism, the debris rethreshing mechanism and the screening mechanism of the harvester are all arranged on the same side of the frame 1, which makes the structure of the transmission system of the whole machine compact. All the pulleys are arranged on the same side, which is convenient for installation, control and debugging. Moreover, the power input of each mechanism is directly provided by the output pulley 1s, which avoids the transmission loss caused by the intermediate transmission, reduces the working load of the mechanism providing the intermediate transmission, and improves the transmission efficiency and service life of the whole machine.

[0049] Apparently, the above-described embodiments are merely examples for clarity of illustration and are not limited to implementations. Other variations or alterations in different forms may be made on the basis of the above description for those of ordinary skill in the art. All the embodiments need not and cannot be exhaustive here. The obvious variations or alterations arising therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
