摘要:
A harvester reel for an agricultural harvester header includes a central rotatable shaft; a plurality of reel tine bars and a cam assembly for guiding rotation of the plurality of reel tine bars. The reel tine bars extend widthwise across the reel and are connected to the central rotatable shaft for rotation therewith. Each of the plurality of reel tine bars include a tine. The cam assembly includes a cam and a diverter adjacent the cam. The diverter is movable between a disengaged position, in which the cam does not guide rotation of the tine bars, and an engaged position, in which the cam does guide rotation of the tine bars. The diverter is biased toward the engaged position.

A follower assembly of a cam assembly for a harvester reel including a baffle, a compressible member adjacent the baffle, and a roller spacer adjacent the compressible member. The follower assembly further includes a tubular cam follower housing the roller spacer, and a fastener extending through the tubular cam follower, the roller spacer, the compressible member and the baffle. The resultant follower assembly provides a construction which minimizes peening of the baffle, whereby the fastener maintains its clamp load such that the cam followers maintain engagement with the cam track and the potential for breakage of the fastener is minimized.
摘要:
A crop harvesting header including a pickup reel mounted for rotation about a reel axis is disclosed and includes a plurality of reel bats peripherally disposed on the reel each having a plurality of outwardly extending fingers and being rotatable about a bat axis. A cam track adjacent to and surrounding the reel axis is immobilized w.r.t. the header and includes a cam surface and a guide surface. A linkage associated with each reel bat has first and second spaced apart cam followers that engage the cam surface at respective points of contact. The cam surface causes displacement of the linkage while traversing the cam track during rotation of the reel, the linkage being coupled to cause rotation of the reel bat about the bat axis for changing an angle of attack of the fingers. A guide follower disposed for engagement of the guide surface at a third point of contact between the first and second points of contact has an offset between the guide surface and the cam surface along the cam track selected to cause each of the first and second cam followers to maintain contact with the cam surface and the guide follower to maintain contact with the guide surface while traversing the cam track.

A modular gathering platform for grain harvesters is provided for coupling to the front of a grain harvester or processor which can gather plants previously prepared in one or more rows by at least one central belt conveyor with functional side by side coupling to other equal harvesting conveyor belts. The platform includes a transversal mounting structure having an internal opening, at least one central harvesting conveyor belt having front and rear extremities and two side couplings, additional harvesting conveyor belts coupled to the sides of the central belt, an anti-jamming roll and a rotating guiding roll. The central harvesting conveyor belt and additional side harvesting conveyor belts, the anti-jamming rolls, and the guiding roll are synchronized by an actuation assembly, and the guiding roll moves the harvested plants towards the exit. The platform advantageously allows for the gathering of a crop that has been prepared in rows.

A crop mass predictive sensor, comprising an imaging device, a laser-based device such as a LIDAR, a first radar emitting a frequency of energy that is absorbed by plant mass, and a second radar emitting a frequency of energy that passes through plant mass without being absorbed, wherein the imaging device, laser-based device, first radar, and second radar are focused on the crop material in front of an agricultural vehicle, and the information gathered from the imaging device, laser-based device, first radar, and second radar is used to calculate an estimated mass for the crop material that is about to enter the agricultural vehicle.
摘要:
A modular gathering platform for grain harvesters, for coupling to the front of a grain harvester or processor, with means to gather plants previously prepared in one or more rows by at least one central belt conveyor with functional side by side coupling means to other equal harvesting conveyor belts, all of them positioned with their variable inclination, with their front extremity stays level with the ground to gather a row that was previously prepared, while their opposite extremities are also equally aligned with their respective anti jamming roll, these rolls and the upper extremities of the conveyors belts are assembled on the front of a transversal mounting structure that, by its outer rear, has an ample exit for harvested plants, as it also equipped with articulated means for coupling to the front of a general machine that will process the harvested plants.
摘要:
A method of estimating the amount of crop mass entering a harvesting machine, comprising the steps of attaching a potentiometer to a front edge of a front feed roller of the harvesting machine, using the potentiometer to measure a magnitude of deflection of the front feed roller as crop mass is pushed under the front feed roller, and estimating the amount of crop mass based on the magnitude of deflection of the front feed roller.

A swather having a horizontal bar with a device for connection to a towing vehicle and a generally horizontal bar, transverse to the first one, each end of which is associated with a generally vertical member bearing a wheel. The assembly of the transverse bar and the vertical members being associated with generally horizontal long arms directed toward a first end of the first horizontal bar and pivotally connected to the transverse bar or the vertical members, so that the arms, when extended to a working position, provide a V-shaped or Y-shaped configuration. Each arm is equipped with a pivoting wheel with tyre at its end remote from the transverse bar, or distal end, and with wheel rakes. At least the pivoting wheels with tyres are equipped with shock absorbing means capable of attenuating impulsive loads due to impact of the wheels against ground irregularities.

A harvesting header bat having a channel for removably receiving alternating quick-release fingers and spacers is provided. The spacers are capable of production in different lengths to support different applications of the harvesting header. The quick-release finger is provided with projections configured for mating with flanges at the channel opening, enabling the finger to be inserted into the channel in a first orientation and then rotated into a second orientation to engage the flanges and releasably lock the finger in place. The spacers are also configured to engage the flanges of the channel and may be provided in different lengths where a particular harvesting header application requires a certain distance between fingers on the bat.
