  The present invention relates to a combine that continuously cuts threshed cereal grains in a field.

  Conventionally, in this type of combine, from the front of the traveling machine equipped with a threshing device with a feed chain, from the cereal pulling device, cutting blade device, stock transport mechanism, upper transport mechanism, auxiliary transport mechanism, etc. The cutting pre-processing device is mounted so as to be adjustable up and down by an up-and-down actuator.

  An example of a combine having such a configuration is disclosed in Patent Document 1. In the combine of Patent Document 1, the vertical transport mechanism (referred to as a vertical transport chain in the literature) among the devices and mechanisms of the pre-harvest processing device feeds the stock side of the harvested cereal meal sent from the stock transport mechanism. The upper transport mechanism (referred to as the longitudinal transport tine in the literature) is directed toward the chain head toward the entrance of the handling chamber (starting side of the handling cylinder). It is for carrying.

On the other hand, in the case of counter cutting, the reaching position of the tip of the cereal with respect to the entrance of the handling chamber comes first, and the supply (conveyance) posture is likely to be delayed on the cereal stock side. As a result, in both cases of overcutting and counter-cutting, cereals cannot be supplied in an appropriate posture to the threshing section, resulting in a large threshing load on the handling cylinder in the handling room or damage to the cereals. There was a problem that the threshing accuracy was adversely affected.

One of the power from the engine is in two directions, the pre-cutting processing device 4 and the threshing device 6. Branched and transmitted. Other power from the engine is transmitted towards the discharge auger 12. The branching power from the engine to the pre-cutting processing device 4 is once changed as appropriate through a cutting clutch and a hydraulic pump hydraulic motor type (HST type) continuously variable transmission in the transmission case. This speed change output is transmitted from the cutting PTO shaft protruding from the transmission case to the cutting input shaft 42 in the cutting input pipe 41 via the pulley and the belt transmission system 40, and from the cutting input shaft 42 to the cutting pre-processing device 4. Power is transmitted to each device 15-17. Therefore, in this case, the driving speeds of the devices 15 to 17 of the pre-cutting processing device 4 also change in conjunction with the traveling speed of the combine.

While the power is transmitted to the partial conveying chain 28, the power is transmitted from the upper end of the vertical transmission shaft 51 to the pulling drive shaft 54 in the upper horizontal transmission pipe 53, and then further to the power transmission portions 20b in the six pulling cases 20 The power is transmitted to cause each tine 19 to rotate (see FIG. 5). The right two star wheels 21 and the take-in belt 22 are transmitted with power from a part of the lower right transport chain 23, and the two center star wheels 21 and the take-in belt 22 are powered from a part of the central transport chain 25. The two left star wheels 21 and the drive-in belt 22 are transmitted with power from a part of the left conveying chain 27 (see FIG. 5). In that case, the two star wheels 21 on the right, center, and left are meshed with each other, and the right scraping belt 22 is also rotationally driven through the concentric shaft and pulley. On the other hand, the description of the branch power system heading from the engine 17 to the threshing device 5 is omitted.

  Next, a means for correcting (adjusting) the tip part 55a of the harvested grain mill 55 in the case where the fallen grain basket is mowed and counter-trimmed so as to enter the entrance side 11a of the handling chamber 11 to be appropriate (adjustment). The speed adjusting means will be described.

  In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 to 8, the first power branching portion 45 connected to the middle portion of the longitudinal transmission shaft 44 in the longitudinal transmission pipe 32 is branched by a bevel gear pair 45 a. Power is transmitted to the transmission input shaft 56 in 57. The speed adjusting means 46 includes a planetary gear mechanism 59 provided in the branch case 57, an electric motor 58 for adjusting the speed, and the like. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the planetary gear mechanism 59 includes a drive gear 60 that is fixed to the shaft end of the transmission input shaft 56 and integrally rotates, and an arm 62 that is fixed to the end of the driven shaft 61. A plurality of (three in the embodiment) planetary gears 63 meshed with the drive gear 60 and the three planetary gears 63 arranged on the outer peripheral side of the rotation trajectory of the three planetary gears 63. A ring gear 64 having meshing internal teeth, and a speed adjustment drive unit 65 that can fix the ring gear 64 or adjust the number of rotations with respect to the drive gear 60 are provided.

  A base portion (boss portion) of the ring gear 64 is provided to be rotatable relative to the outer periphery of the drive gear 60 via a bearing 66.

And have. The electric motor 58 has a built-in brake mechanism.

  The transmission shaft 69 is rotated via the bevel gear pair 68 at the other end of the driven shaft 61 in the branch case 57. Chain sprockets 70 and 71 for the first auxiliary transfer chain 31a and the upper right post-transfer mechanism (transfer chain) 30 are fixed to the middle part and the upper end of the transmission shaft 69, respectively.

  According to the speed adjusting means 46 configured as described above, the driven shaft 61 is transmitted via the planetary gear mechanism 59 in a state where the electric motor 58 is stopped and the brake is applied and the ring gear 64 is fixed (stationary). A control state in which power is transmitted at the same rotational speed as the input shaft 56, and the electric motor 58 is rotated in one direction (naturally, the ring gear 64 is rotated in the same direction as the transmission input shaft 56). Via the control state in which the driven shaft 61 transmits power at a rotational speed greater than that of the transmission input shaft 56, and conversely, the electric motor 58 is rotated in the other direction (the ring gear 64 is rotated in the opposite direction to the transmission input shaft 56). ), The driven shaft 61 can be adjusted to a control state in which power is transmitted at a rotational speed smaller than the transmission input shaft 56 via the planetary gear mechanism 59.

  When the ring gear 64 is fixed and the driven shaft 61 is set to a reference speed with the same rotational speed as that of the transmission input shaft 56, if the speed of the driven shaft 61 is increased from the reference speed, the first auxiliary transport chain 31a and The mechanism (conveyance chain) 30 in the upper right part is conveyed faster than the standard conveying speed. As a result, when the head portion 55a of the harvested grain culm 55 is transported with a delay to the end of the upper right transport mechanism (transport chain) 24 at the time of additional cutting, the first auxiliary transport chain 31a and the post upper right transport mechanism ( Conveyance of the harvested grain culm 55 so that the transportation speed of the tip 55a of the harvested grain culm 55 inherited by the transport chain 30 is increased and the tip 55a is supplied to the inlet side 11a of the handling chamber 11 in a standard posture. The posture can be corrected (corrected). Conversely, if the speed of the driven shaft 61 is decelerated from the reference speed, the second auxiliary transport chain 31a and the upper right post-transport mechanism (transport chain) 30 are made slower than the standard transport speed. Thereby, when the head part 55a of the harvested grain culm 55 at the time of facing cutting is transported ahead to the end of the upper right part transport mechanism (conveyance chain) 24, the tip part 55a is handled in the standard posture in the handling chamber 11. The feeding posture of the harvested grain culm 55 can be corrected (corrected) so as to be supplied to the inlet side 11a.
