Technical Field
The present application relates to a combine harvester according to the preamble of claim 1.
Background
Such a combine harvester comprises a motor, by means of which the working mechanism of the combine harvester can be driven in particular. For this purpose, the motor has a motor output shaft from which a torque provided by the motor can be transmitted indirectly or directly to the operating mechanism by means of a force transmission belt. To this end, the combine harvester comprises a countershaft (vorgelegelle) which is coupled by means of a motor belt to a motor output shaft in a torque-transmitting manner. It is known that the working mechanisms of a combine harvester are connected starting from a countershaft and in this way are each supplied with torque.
Combine harvesters of the type described at the outset are known from the prior art. For this purpose, reference is made, as an example, to german laid-open document DE 102013103450 a 1. This publication describes a drive system which, by means of a force transmission belt, enables a force transmission or a torque transmission from a motor output shaft to a corresponding operating mechanism.
In the design of a drive system for a combine harvester, it is characteristic that tests are carried out in order to be able to use the combine harvester substantially for different harvesting tasks and/or harvesting conditions. It is to be noted here that the working mechanisms of the combine harvester should be operated in different ways, in particular at different rotational speeds, depending on the crop to be harvested, in order to achieve an optimum harvesting result. It is likewise conceivable that it is advantageous or even necessary for the operating conditions of the working mechanism of the combine harvester to change on the basis of changing boundary conditions. Thus, the variability of the operating conditions of the combine harvester is of particular importance.
Accordingly, in the prior art, it is common, for example, to use so-called transmissions, by means of which the gear ratios can be set in each case. In this way, it is possible to convert the rotational speed of the drive element (which is supplied with torque to the transmission) to a further rotational speed by means of the transmission, which is transmitted from the transmission to the respective working mechanism of the combine harvester by means of the respective force transmission belt. However, it is considered disadvantageous here that the overall equipping of the respective combine harvester with a transmission represents a considerable outlay, since the transmission has a relatively complicated construction.
Disclosure of Invention
The task underlying the present application is therefore: a combine harvester is provided, by means of which changes in the operating conditions of the working mechanism can be carried out as simply as possible.
According to the invention, the underlying object is achieved by means of a combine harvester having the features of claim 1. Advantageous configurations emerge from the dependent claims 2 to 15.
According to the invention, the combine harvester has a transfer device which is arranged on a first side of the combine harvester. The "sides" of the combine harvester are separated from one another by the working mechanism, as seen in the transverse direction of the combine harvester, wherein the harvest flows from front to back through the combine harvester in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis to some extent and is processed or treated in the process, wherein the "channels" (along which the harvest flows) are delimited laterally by means of corresponding limiting walls. These corresponding limiting walls are assigned to the sides of the combine harvester in the sense of the present application, wherein these sides are each visible in a side view of the combine harvester.
A transmission device, which can itself be formed by a so-called "drive point", is coupled in torque-transmitting manner to the (primary) secondary shaft, wherein this coupling takes place by means of a transmission belt. The latter is formed by a typical force transmission belt, for example a wedge belt.
The transfer device is used to distribute the torque provided by the layshaft to the first side of the combine. For this purpose, the transmission device interacts with at least one further force transmission belt, by means of which the torque provided by the countershaft can be transmitted to at least one operating element of the combine harvester. The transfer device is used here for feeding the following working mechanisms of the combine harvester: the working mechanism (viewed in the longitudinal direction of the combine harvester) is arranged spatially behind the secondary shaft. Advantageously, the transfer device itself is arranged spatially also behind the secondary shaft on the combine harvester. As can be seen in each case below, it is particularly conceivable to connect a plurality of operating means from the transmission device by means of corresponding force transmission belts.
The combine harvester according to the invention is furthermore characterized in that the secondary shaft extends from a first side of the combine harvester in a direction transverse to its longitudinal axis to a second side of the combine harvester opposite the first side. On the second side, the countershaft is connected in torque-transmitting fashion to at least one working mechanism of the combine harvester by means of at least one force transmission belt, wherein on the second side of the combine harvester the working mechanism coupled to the countershaft (viewed in the longitudinal direction of the combine harvester) is arranged spatially in front of the countershaft.
The combine harvester according to the invention has several advantages. In particular, it is possible for the torque provided by the motor to be distributed to both sides of the combine harvester by means of the auxiliary shaft, wherein a secondary distribution takes place to some extent on the side of the combine harvester, by means of which the working mechanisms of the combine harvester can be individually connected. In this case, for the secondary distribution and in particular for the adjustability of the transmission ratio indirectly or directly from the secondary shaft to the working mechanism of the combine harvester, it is particularly advantageous if the torque provided by the motor is distributed to both sides of the combine harvester by means of the secondary shaft. Furthermore, the drive system is equalized by means of a distribution on both sides of the combine harvester, whereby the space provided on both sides of the combine harvester can be better utilized. This involves, for example, the use of a transmission device, by means of which the transmission ratio starting from the countershaft to the respective operating means can be changed and can therefore be set to certain predefined parameters.
In an advantageous embodiment of the combine harvester according to the invention, the operating mechanism spatially upstream of the secondary shaft is formed by a threshing cylinder, wherein the secondary shaft is coupled at least indirectly by means of at least one threshing belt in a torque-transmitting manner to a threshing cylinder drive shaft of the threshing cylinder. In the sense of the present application, "indirect coupling" is understood to mean, in principle, that the respective operating means need not be connected directly to the auxiliary shaft by means of the respective force transmission belt; direct coupling is likewise conceivable. Preferably, the threshing cylinder drive shaft is equipped with two belt discs arranged coaxially. The belt pulleys differ in their diameter, wherein the diameter of the first belt pulley exceeds the diameter of the second belt pulley. By means of the belt pulley, it is possible to realize that the threshing cylinder drive shaft and thus the threshing cylinder run at different rotational speeds, while the rotational speed of the secondary shaft remains the same. It is therefore only necessary to assign a respective further belt pulley to the threshing belt starting from one of the belt pulleys. The threshing belt can thus be switched between a slow position and a fast position, wherein the threshing belt cooperates with the first belt disc when it is in its slow position and with the second belt disc when it is in its fast position. Thus, if a reduction in the rotational speed of the threshing cylinder is required, for example due to changed harvesting conditions or due to the switching of the combine harvester onto another crop, it is conceivable to change the threshing belt from its fast position to its slow position or vice versa. In this way, the rotational speed of the threshing cylinder can be varied in the simplest manner by means of mechanical switching without depending on a change in the rotational speed of the secondary shaft. In addition, the threshing belt does not need to be replaced; the length of the threshing belt is preferably kept constant.
In this embodiment, it is particularly advantageous if the combine harvester has a tensioning device which is assigned to the threshing cylinder or to the threshing cylinder drive shaft. The tensioning device can be operated in two different tensioning positions, wherein the tensioning device is adapted to tension the threshing belt in its slow position in a first tensioning position, wherein the tensioning device is adapted to tension the threshing belt in its fast position in a second tensioning position. Due to the different diameters of the two belt discs of the threshing cylinder drive shaft, the threshing belt on the second side of the combine harvester runs on a slightly changed course, so that the tensioning device, which is in direct contact with the threshing belt, in particular by means of the tensioning wheel, can follow the running change of the threshing belt. In particular, it is conceivable here for the tensioning device to be designed to be mechanically adjustable, so that the position of the tensioning wheel on the second side of the combine harvester can be spatially varied.
In an advantageous embodiment, the tensioning device has an arm which is designed to be pivotable about the bearing axis, wherein a tensioning wheel which is rotatable about a center axis of the bearing axis is arranged on the end facing away from the bearing axis. The adjustment of the position of the tensioning device can be carried out, for example, by means of a pivoting of the arm about the bearing axis. Particularly advantageous are also the following configurations: in this configuration, the tensioning wheel can first be detached from the arm of the tensioning device and can then be fitted to some extent on the opposite side of the arm. In this way, the tensioning wheel extends in a first direction starting from the side face of the arm in the first tensioning position and in an opposite direction starting from the opposite side of the arm in the second tensioning position. These two tensioning positions of the tensioning wheel can in particular correspond to the positions of the threshing belt, wherein for example the tensioning device corresponds to the threshing belt being present in its slow position, for example when the tensioning wheel is present in its first tensioning position, and conversely to the threshing belt being present in its fast position, for example when the tensioning wheel is present in its second tensioning position. As a result, the change in the transmission ratio between the secondary shaft and the threshing cylinder drive shaft can be carried out in a particularly simple manner by means of a mechanical change on the combine harvester, i.e. the displacement of the threshing belt from one pulley of the threshing cylinder drive shaft to the other pulley. No change in the length of the threshing belt or in the threshing belt as a whole is required here. The associated components are particularly simple and durable in design, so that the associated combine harvester is advantageous not only in terms of its robustness but also in terms of its relatively low production costs.
Advantageously, the combine harvester comprises at least one transmission on its second side, wherein the transmission is coupled with the countershaft in a torque-transmitting manner by means of at least one transmission belt. The transmission can in particular act as an intermediate link between the countershaft and the drive shaft of the threshing cylinder, wherein a further widening of the transmission ratio to be set between the countershaft and the drive shaft of the threshing cylinder (spraizung) is achieved by means of the transmission.
In connection with the transfer device arranged on the first side of the combine harvester, the following combine harvester is particularly advantageous: in the combine harvester, the transfer device comprises a plurality of belt discs. Advantageously, at least one of the belt pulleys is configured such that its diameter is variable. Such a change in diameter can consist, on the one hand, in a change in the diameter of the belt pulley itself, for example by putting on or taking off a cuff rim. On the other hand, it is conceivable to replace the belt pulley with a further belt pulley having a further diameter, so that a belt pulley having a further diameter now exists in the position of the original belt pulley, whereby the diameter of the belt pulley has been "changed" in the sense of the present application. In this case, the term "belt pulley" does not necessarily describe a component per se, but a functional unit on the transfer device, which is optionally formed by a different physical belt pulley.
Furthermore, the following combine harvesters are particularly advantageous: in the combine harvester, the working mechanism spatially located behind the secondary shaft is constituted by a shredder mechanism. The shredder mechanism comprises a shredder drive shaft which is coupled to a transmission by means of a shredder belt in a torque-transmitting manner. Advantageously, the chopping belt cooperates with the following belt pulley of the transfer device: the diameter of the belt pulley can be varied in the above-mentioned manner. In this way, the transmission ratio between the secondary shaft and the shredder mechanism can be changed, since the frequency of the transmission belt (that is to say the revolution of the transmission belt per time unit) changes as a result of the changing diameter of the respective belt pulley of the transmission device remaining unchanged. Here, like the above-described processing method, the change or adjustment of the rotational speed of the shredder mechanism is also effected mechanically in a particularly simple manner by merely changing the diameter of the belt pulley of the transmission. For example, it is conceivable to remove the respective belt pulley from the shaft of the transfer device and replace it with a belt pulley of another diameter.
The combine harvester according to the invention is further configured such that it comprises a tensioning device which interacts with the chopping belt, said tensioning device having two tensioning wheels which are spaced apart from one another. The tensioning device can be switched between at least two different tensioning positions, wherein the tensioning device, when present in a first tensioning position, is adapted to co-act with a chopping belt in operative connection with a belt pulley of a first diameter of the transfer device. Accordingly, the tensioning device is adapted to co-act, when present in its second tensioning position, with a chopping belt in operative connection with a belt pulley of the transfer device having a second diameter. Advantageously, the chopping belt and the tensioning device co-act such that the winding angle of the chopping belt in total around the tensioning wheel is assumed differently when the tensioning device is present in its two tensioning positions, respectively. In particular, it is conceivable for the chopping belt to be in contact with the outer lateral surfaces of the two tensioning rollers in total along a winding angle which is smaller when the chopping belt interacts with a first belt pulley of the transfer device than when the chopping belt interacts with a second belt pulley of the transfer device, which has a smaller diameter than the first belt pulley.
Similar to the above explanations in connection with threshing belts, it is noted that the chopping belt extends along a spatially varying line depending on the configuration of the belt pulley aspect of the transfer device, so that the tensioning device has to adjust its spatial position on the first side of the combine harvester in order to exert its tensioning effect independently of the line of the chopping belt. Furthermore, the tensioning device can be used in particular for receiving a length which becomes free during the switching of the shredding belt from its position into its other position, so that the shredding belt can be kept tensioned and does not have to be exchanged with a further length of shredding belt. The configuration of the tensioning device with two tensioning wheels is particularly advantageous here, since a change in the position of the tensioning device in space is particularly simple to implement.
In particular, it is conceivable for the tensioning device itself to be of oscillating design about a bearing axis parallel to the chopping drive shaft. It is to be understood here that such a bearing axis is arranged eccentrically with respect to at least one of the tensioning wheels of the tensioning device, so that during the pivoting of the tensioning device about the bearing axis, the at least one tensioning wheel is moved on a circular path about the bearing axis. The change of the position of the tensioning device can be carried out particularly simply in this way, so that the tensioning device can follow the changing course of the chopping belt particularly simply and can keep it tensioned. Preferably, the bearing axis of the tensioning device coincides with the axis of rotation of one of the tensioning wheels.
Furthermore, the following embodiments of the combine harvester according to the invention are particularly advantageous: in the above-described embodiment, the operating mechanism located spatially behind the auxiliary shaft is constituted by a shut-off mechanism. Such a working mechanism interacts, for example, with an axial cutting rotor, the longitudinal axis of which extends parallel to a vertical longitudinal plane of the combine harvester, which contains the longitudinal axis of the combine harvester. The cutting mechanism interacts with a cutting mechanism drive shaft which extends from the cutting mechanism to a first side of the combine harvester. The shut-off mechanism drive shaft is coupled to the transmission device by means of a shut-off belt in a torque-transmitting manner, so that the shut-off mechanism is also connected, at least indirectly like a possible shredder mechanism, to the secondary shaft and thus to the motor output shaft in a torque-transmitting manner. Advantageously, the shut-off mechanism drive shaft is equipped with two coaxially arranged belt discs, wherein the diameter of the first belt disc exceeds the diameter of the second belt disc. This configuration is similar to the configuration of the threshing cylinder described above, in which the cut-off belt can selectively co-act with one of the two belt discs. In this way, the cutoff belt is able to switch between a slow position and a fast position, wherein the cutoff belt engages the first belt pulley when in its slow position and engages the second belt pulley when in its fast position. In this way, the shut-off drive shaft is operated at different rotational speeds, i.e. at a fast rotational speed and a slow rotational speed, while the frequency of the transmission belt remains unchanged. The change in the rotational speed of the drive shaft of the shut-off mechanism is effected analogously to the above description particularly simply by shifting the shut-off belt from one pulley to the respective other pulley. Here, the cut-off belt itself does not have to be changed; in particular the length of the cut-off belt remains the same.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the shut-off mechanism drive shaft is operated even in four different transmission ratios, wherein, on the one hand, two different transmission ratios can be set by means of two belt pulleys of the shut-off mechanism drive shaft and two further transmission ratios can be achieved by means of a change in the diameter of the belt pulley of the transmission device. In this connection, reference is made to the explanations above in connection with the transfer device, which can have at least one belt pulley with a variable diameter. By means of such a configuration, the cutoff belt can be operated in four different permutations and in this way in four different transmission ratios between the frequency of the transmission belt and the frequency of the cutoff belt. These combinations are made up of different diameters of the pulley of the transmission device and the pulley of the cutting mechanism drive shaft, wherein the aforementioned combinations can be made up as follows: "major diameter-major diameter", "minor diameter-minor diameter", and "major diameter-minor diameter". This results particularly well from the examples described below.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the two belt discs of the shut-off mechanism drive shaft are designed in the form of a belt disc set which is connected thereto as a whole in a manner such that it can be removed from the shut-off mechanism drive shaft without damage. In this way, the belt pulley set can be removed as a whole from the shut-off mechanism drive shaft, turned over and fitted again on the shut-off mechanism drive shaft. Thereby, the order of the pulley (from the cutting mechanism) in terms of the different diameters of the pulley is changed from "large-small" to "small-large". Thus, the cut-off belt can co-act with the larger pulley when the pulley set is present in the first position and with the smaller pulley when the pulley set is present in the second position, without having to make a change in the orientation of the cut-off belt in space. By means of such a change, therefore, only the course of the cutting belt within a plane within which the cutting belt extends is changed, whereas the orientation of this plane relative to the combine harvester is maintained irrespective of whether the cutting belt is present in its slow position or its fast position.
Advantageously, the cut-off belt also interacts with a tensioning device having two tensioning rollers spaced apart from one another. The tensioning device is switchable between two different tensioning positions, wherein the tensioning positions correspond to different positions of the severed belt. Due to the different course of the cutting belts when present at different positions thereof, the winding angles at which the cutting belts are wound respectively in total around the tensioning pulley are different in the respective tensioning positions of the tensioning device. This is particularly simple to follow from the following examples. The convertibility of the tensioning device between its tensioning positions offers the following possibilities: the cutting belt is kept tensioned according to its course, ensuring a reliable transmission of torque from the transmission device to the cutting mechanism drive shaft.
Advantageously, the tensioning device is configured to be pivotable about a bearing axis parallel to the drive shaft of the severing mechanism, wherein the bearing axis preferably coincides with the axis of rotation of one of the tensioning wheels. The respective configuration has already been explained above in connection with a tensioning device which can cooperate with the chopping belt. Accordingly, advantages are obtained.
In a further preferred embodiment, the chopping belt of the chopping mechanism and the chopping belt of the chopping mechanism co-act on the transfer device with the same belt pulley having a diameter which is variable in the manner described above. In particular, it is conceivable that the aforementioned belt pulley of the transfer device has a width which corresponds at least to the sum of the widths of the chopping belt and the cutting belt, so that the chopping belt and the cutting belt can run on the belt pulley side by side to some extent. This configuration has particular advantages: the transmission ratio between the transfer device and the shredding mechanism and between the transfer device and the severing mechanism can be changed by changing the diameter of the belt pulley in a single operation. Furthermore, such synchronized changes are particularly interesting, since (typically) changes in the external environment (for example the fruit to be harvested) determine the same change in the optimal rotational speed of the severing mechanism drive shaft and the chopping drive shaft.

Detailed Description
The embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 7 comprises a combine harvester 1 according to the invention, which is equipped with a plurality of working mechanisms and a motor 38. Furthermore, the combine harvester 1 comprises in its front end an adapter 41, which here is constituted by an inclined ramp conveyor with built harvester cutter bars. In particular, the combine harvester 1 interacts with the threshing cylinder 4, the
The drive system comprises a combination of a shaft, a belt pulley and a force transmission belt, which enable the transmission of torque from the motor output shaft 2 to different operating mechanisms, so that the operating mechanisms can be driven. The motor output shaft 2 extends from the motor 38 in the direction of the first side 6 of the combine harvester 1. This is to be seen in particular from fig. 2, wherein the motor 38 itself is not shown. The motor output shaft 2 interacts with at least one belt pulley, so that it is suitable for receiving a motor belt 7, by means of which the torque provided by the motor 38 can be transmitted to the

Since the threshing belt 10 runs in space along different paths depending on the co-action with one of the belt discs 11, 12, there is the following necessity: the tensioning device 13 co-acting with the threshing belt 10 is tracked as its position changes, so that it continues to be in tensioning engagement with the threshing belt 10. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the tensioning device 13 comprises an arm 15, which is mounted on the combine harvester 1 so as to be pivotable about a bearing axis 14. At the end facing away from the bearing axis 14, a tensioning wheel 16 is arranged on the arm 15, said tensioning wheel being rotatably mounted on the arm 15. The tensioning wheel 16 is fixed to the arm 15 on one side, so that it extends in one direction from the side of the arm 15. For the purpose of changing the tensioning position of the tensioning device 13 during a change of position of the threshing belt 10, the tensioning wheel 16 is fitted only on the opposite side of the arm 15, whereby its position in space changes in line with the lateral displacement of the line of the threshing belt 10. Furthermore, the arm 15 is swung about the bearing axis 14, whereby the tensioning device 13 overall traces the changing course of the threshing belt 10. As a result, the following possibilities are achieved in a structurally particularly simple manner by means of the combination of the tensioning device 13 and the two belt pulleys 11, 12 of the threshing cylinder drive shaft 5: the transmission ratio between the
