The weed separating bodies 16A to 16E extend forward from the transmission cylinder 13 and are fixed to the front part of the front and rear frame 22 provided at a predetermined interval in the left - right direction. Further, they are connected by a frame 23 formed of a round pipe connecting the middle parts of the front and rear frame 22 provided on the leftmost side and the front and rear frame 22 provided on the rightmost side.

[0044] The lifting device 17 is formed by four lifting devices 17A to 17D. The right part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 17B and the left part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 17C are arranged opposite to each other. Thus, a total of four grain straws, two between the lifting devices 17A and 17B and two between the lifting devices 17C and 17D, can be lifted simultaneously.

[0045] As shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the support shaft (not shown) for supporting the drive sprocket provided on the upper part of the lifting device 17A is connected to the rotary shaft 31L of the vertical transmission cylinder 30L extending downward from the left part of the transmission cylinder 15. The lower part of the lifting device 17A is fixed to a rectangular connecting member 33L provided on a stay 32L that curves upward and to the right from the left part of the frame 23. Thus, the output rotation of the engine transmitted to the rotary shaft installed inside the transmission cylinder 15 can be transmitted to the drive sprocket of the lifting device 17A via the rotary shaft installed inside the vertical transmission cylinder 30L to rotate the lifting chain. Further, a cover 25 is provided on the front side of the transmission cylinder 15.

[0046] The support shaft (not shown) for supporting the drive sprocket provided on the upper part of the lifting device 17D is connected to the rotary shaft 31R of the vertical transmission cylinder 30R extending downward from the right part of the transmission cylinder 15. The lower part of the lifting device 17D is fixed to a rectangular connecting member 33R provided on a stay 32R that curves upward and to the left from the right part of the frame 23. Thus, the output rotation of the engine transmitted to the rotary shaft installed inside the transmission cylinder 15 can be transmitted to the drive sprocket of the lifting device 17D via the rotary shaft installed inside the vertical transmission cylinder 30R to rotate the lifting chain.

[0047] At the middle part of the transmission cylinder 15 in the left - right direction, an up - down transmission cylinder 41 extending downward from the middle part is provided.

[0049] The left part of the left - right transmission cylinder 42 and the left - right frame 44 is connected by a left - right up - down frame 45L, and the right part of the left - right transmission cylinder 42 and the left - right frame 44 is connected by a right - left up - down frame 45R. Thereby, the rigidity of the left - right transmission cylinder 42 and the left - right frame 44 can be increased, and even when the lifting devices 17B and 17C are removed, deformation of the left - right transmission cylinder 42 and the left - right frame 44 can be suppressed. In a rear view, the up - down transmission cylinder 41, the left - right transmission cylinder 42, the stay 43, the left - right frame 44, the left - right up - down frame 45L, and the right - left up - down frame 45R are arranged inside the outer peripheral part of the lifting devices 17B and 17C.

The lower part of the lifting device 17B is fixed to the left part of the left - right frame 44 via a left clamping part 48L such as a snap lock. Thereby, the output rotation of the engine transmitted to the rotating shaft installed inside the transmission cylinder 15 can be transmitted to the drive sprocket 50 of the lifting device 17B via the rotating shafts installed inside the up - down transmission cylinder 41 and the left - right transmission cylinder 42, and the lifting chain can be rotated.

[0051] The rotating shaft (not shown) that supports the drive sprocket (not shown) provided at the upper part of the starting device 17C is connected to the rotating shaft 46R of the left and right transmission cylinders 42.

The lower part of the starting device 17C is fixed to the right part of the left and right frames 44 via a right clamping part 48R such as a snap lock. Thereby, the output rotation of the engine transmitted to the rotating shaft installed inside the transmission cylinder 15 is transmitted to the drive sprocket of the starting device 17C via the rotating shafts installed inside the upper and lower transmission cylinders 41 and the left and right transmission cylinders 42, and the starting chain can be rotated.

[0052] On the upper part of the left upper and lower frame 45L, a support member 49L that supports an oil injection nozzle for injecting oil into the starting chain (not shown) of the starting device 17B is provided. On the upper part of the right upper and lower frame 45R, a support member 49L that supports an oil injection nozzle for injecting oil into the starting chain (not shown) of the starting device 17C is provided.

[0066] Figs. 17 and 18 illustrate other combines for six - row cutting. The same parts as those of the four - row cutting combine described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

[0067] The lifting device 70 of the cutting device 3 is formed by six lifting devices 70A - 70F. The right part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 70B and the left part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 70C are arranged to face each other, and the right part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 70D and the left part on the side opposite to the lifting side of the lifting device 70E are arranged to face each other.

[0069] The triggering device 70B and the triggering device 70D are fixed to the left part of the left - right transmission cylinder 42 provided at the lower part of the left - right transmission cylinder 41 and the left part of the left - right frame 44 provided at the upper part of the left stay 43, similarly to the triggering device 17B.

[0070] The triggering device 70B and the triggering device 70D are formed in the same manner as the triggering device 17B. On the rear surface of the triggering device 70B and the triggering device 70D, an engaged part 61 of the left engaging part 47L is provided, and on the lower part of the rear surface of the triggering device 70B and the triggering device 70D, a left clamping part 48L is provided.

[0075] As shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 19, and 20, the pulling device 17 is provided with a tension adjusting part 80 for adjusting the tension of the pulling chain engaged with the drive sprocket 50.

[0076] The tension adjusting part 80 is formed by a tension sprocket 81 and a moving part 82 for moving the tension sprocket 81 in the vertical direction.

[0077] The moving part 82 is formed by a frame 84 provided on a bracket 83 that internally fits the rotating shaft 51 supporting the drive sprocket 50 and an adjusting member 86 provided on a bracket 85 that internally fits the rotating shaft supporting the tension sprocket 81. Thus, when the adjusting member 86 moves the bracket 85 upward, the tension of the pulling chain becomes tense, and when the adjusting member 86 moves the bracket 85 downward, the tension of the pulling chain can be relaxed.

[0078] In a side view, the frame 84 is formed in a J - shape. After extending upward from the upper part of the bracket 85, it extends rearward from the upper end part, and then a hook (the "first hook" in the claims) 87 that extends downward from the rear end part is formed. Also, at the vertical middle part on the back surface of the pulling device 17, at a position shifted to the side where the pulling lug 35 pulls the cereal straws, a pair of upper and lower hooks (the "second hook" in the claims) 88 are provided. It is preferable to attach an elastic member such as urethane or rubber to the inner peripheral surfaces of the hooks 87 and 88 to suppress vibration.

[0079] When removing the elevating devices 17B and 17C of the 4-row combine and easily removing the grain straws entangled with the conveying device 19 arranged behind the elevating devices 17B etc., as shown in Figs. 21 and 22, fasteners (not shown) of the weeding members 16 provided on both the left and right sides of the cutting device 3, or as shown in Fig. 23, fasteners (not shown) of the vertically extending lifting guide 5A provided on the front side of the step that the operator of the control unit 5 grips during lifting and lowering, the hooks 87 of the elevating devices 17B etc. can be locked. Thereby, a wide working space is secured in front of the conveying device 19, and it is possible to prevent the operator from accidentally hitting their head against the elevating devices 17B etc. Also, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of field soil to the sliding parts of the elevating devices 17B etc. and the resulting malfunction.

[0080] A sensor is provided near the fastener. When the sensor detects the elevating device 17B etc. locked to the fastener, the connection of the cutting clutch provided between the engine and the cutting device 3 is released and the output rotation of the engine is not transmitted to the cutting device 3. Thereby, it is possible to safely remove the grain straws entangled with the conveying device 19 by locking the hooks 87 of the elevating devices 17B etc. to the fastener.

[0081] Also, as shown in Fig. 24, the hooks 87 of the elevating devices 17B etc. can be locked to the opening and closing lever 4B extending in the front-rear direction for opening and closing the handling cylinder cover 4A that covers the upper part of the handling cylinder of the threshing device 4 when removing the elevating devices 17B etc. of the 4-row combine. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of field soil to the sliding parts of the elevating devices 17B etc. and the resulting malfunction. Also, it is possible to reduce the number of accessory parts such as fasteners.

[0082] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 25, the hooks 88 of the elevating devices 17B etc. can be locked to the narrow guide 1A extending in the front-rear direction of the machine body frame 1 that pushes the uncut grain straws planted on the left side in the traveling direction of the combine to the left. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of field soil to the sliding parts of the elevating devices 17B etc. and the resulting malfunction, and it is possible to suppress the dropping of the elevating devices 17B etc. from the narrow guide 1A.

[0083] In the above description, the lifting device 17 of the 4-row combine harvester was described by taking the lifting device 17B as an example. The same applies to the lifting device 70 of the 6-row combine harvester, and thus the description thereof is omitted. In addition, FIGS. 21 to 25 illustrate a case where the lifting device 70E of the 6-row combine harvester is locked to a fastener or the like of the dividing grass body 16.
