摘要:
The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a monitoring system for detecting variations in the flow of a fluid through a passage such as an air duct associated with a cotton picker or other harvesting machine. Air flow sensing means is provided for mounting in the air duct to provide a first signal condition in response to the flow of air above a predetermined minimum level and a second signal condition in response to the flow of air below the predetermined minimum level. The air flow sensing means is coupled to an indicator means which attracts the attention of the harvesting machine operator and indicates which one, of a plurality of air ducts, is malfunctioning.

A plurality of gleaner units are attached to the header of a self propelled cotton stripping unit, the cotton strippers having been removed. The gleaner units have an improved arm having a bifurcation at the end which permits easier adjustment of the length of the arm to maintain the belts tight. The bifurcated distal end also resulting in a longer life and more maintenance free ground pulley attachment.

A transversely slotted belt for a down cotton retrieving system includes a plurality of spaced, protruding island-like pads disposed along the outer surface of the belt. Each of the protruding pads is substantially bisected by one of the transverse slots, thereby forming separated pairs of opposed flexible fingers. The size, spacing, flexibility, and shape of the pairs of fingers are selected to produce a pinching action which optimizes the grasping efficiency and grasping selectivity of the bisected island-like pads during retrieving of down cotton.

The cotton pickup comprising a self-propelled frame having a rotary gripping means mounted thereon and including a dielectric pressurized cylinder being rotated by a drive and having a plurality of teeth on the outer surface thereof for gathering and retaining the waste cotton, said pressurized cylinder having an electric charge source mounted therewithin and imparting the electric charges to the pressurized cylinder inner surface. The pressurized cylinder wall thickness is selected so that the electric field produced under the action of the charges between the ground and the pressurized cylinder outer surface, is capable of attracting the cotton to the pressurized cylinder outer surface from where it is doffed by a brush means and transported into a collecting tank by a transporting means.
