摘要:
An agricultural harvesting machine (10) comprises crop processing means (16) and an elevator assembly (23) for conveying harvested crop material to said crop processing means (16). The elevator assembly comprises an elevator housing (50) and endless elevator means mounted for rotation in said housing (50), said elevator means having lower and upper lower runs (66a, 66b). Shielding means, such as an intermediate plate (70, 71), shield said the lower elevator run (66a) from the upper run (66b). Access to the interior of the elevator assembly (23) can be gained through hatch means (82) that comprise a split door (85, 86), which can be opened without requiring a large space between the elevator assembly and the operator's platform (14).
摘要:
The jaw clutch (10) comprises a shock damper (12) which can be a disk spring, which absorbs shock forces generated by rapid re-engagement of clutch plates (26, 28) of said clutch and dissipates energy of said shock forces in co-operation with said other components of said clutch, including a clutch spring (42), such that resulting shock forces exerted against rotatable members (14, 16) connected to said clutch are damped and reduced substantially in magnitude within a time interval before occurrence of a subsequent shock force.
摘要:
An agricultural harvester (1) having a header with a reel (13) and an auger (15), wherein the reel and the auger provide crop material to an elevator (21) and a foreign object detecting apparatus (35), wherein said apparatus includes a foreign object detecting circuit (42) for detecting foreign objects and an object extrusion mechanism (44) operationally connected to be activated by the detecting circuit. The detecting circuit (42) includes a first vibration sensor (40), a programmable amplifier (50), a frequency bandpass filter (52), a variable threshold comparator (54), and a microprocessor (60) including a pulse rejection network. The microprocessor is electronically connected to control the threshold comparator (54) and the programmable amplifier (50), and activates the object extrusion mechanism (44) when the pulse rejection network generates an internal signal. Also, a method for detecting and removing foreign objects from cut crop material is disclosed.
摘要:
A system (30) and method for controlling the lateral tilt of a header (12) of an agricultural plant cutting machine (10), such as, but not limited to, a combine, windrower or the like, and more particularly, to an automatic lateral tilt control system for precisely controlling an angle (38) of lateral tilt of the header relative to the machine based on a lateral tilt angle of the machine relative to a reference (42) and at least one additional characteristic such that, when the machine is disposed on a laterally inclined surface (28), and the machine is at a tilt angle (36) differing from an angle of the laterally inclined surface, the angle (38) of lateral tilt of the header relative to the machine is responsively adjusted so an angle (40) of the lateral tilt of the header relative to the reference (42) is substantially equal to the angle (34) of the laterally inclined surface (28), the system especially useful when operating in a stubble mode and traversing inclined surfaces.
摘要:
A stone detection system of a harvester (100) automatically changes its sensitivity to signals from a stone sensor (152) in response to the type of header (116) connected to the harvester.
