Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a sorting apparatus for sorting a leaked material from a handling room, and a target sorting state for artificially setting the target sorting state of the sorting apparatus. The present invention relates to a sorting control device for a threshing device provided with setting means and control means for controlling the sorting state of the sorting device so as to maintain the target identifying state set by the target sorting state setting means.

[Conventional technology]

Since the operation is troublesome if the sorting state of the sorting device is directly set, a target sorting state setting means for artificially setting the target sorting state of the sorting device is provided to maintain the target sorting state. It is considered to control.

However, conventionally, no means has been provided for checking whether or not the set target selection state is within an appropriate range in the state of supplying the grain rod to the handling room. In other words, the adjustment range of the target selection state can be adjusted to a state corresponding to a small amount of processed material remaining in the handling room, for example, even when the grain rod is not supplied to the handling room. It is also possible to adjust the identification state corresponding to the amount of processed material.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

As in the past, it is difficult to directly visually confirm the selection state of the identification device unless the target identification state set in the grain culm supply state to the handling room is within the proper range. Therefore, despite the fact that a large amount of grain culm is supplied, it is not possible to perform proper sorting by accidentally setting a target sorting state that corresponds to a small amount of processed material and using it May occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose thereof is to prevent the target selection state from being erroneously set and to prevent clogging of the processed material.

And a control means for controlling so that the selected state is maintained at the target selected state set by the target selected state setting means. The characteristic configuration is as follows.

That is, a grain rod supply state detection means for detecting whether or not the grain rod is being fed to the handling room is provided, and when the grain rod is being fed, the target selection state setting is performed. When the target sorting state set by the means is set to the sorting state corresponding to a smaller amount of processed material than the setting identification state corresponding to the small amount of processed material, an alarm means is provided for activating an alarm. In point.

[Work]

Since there is no need to give an alarm when the handling room is not supplied with the grain rods and is not supplied, it is detected whether or not the handling room is fed with the grain rods, and the grain rod is detected. When the supply state is set and the target sorting state is set to the sorting state corresponding to the processed material amount smaller than the set sorting state corresponding to the small processing amount state, the alarm is activated.

〔The invention's effect〕

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the target selection state is erroneously set despite the large supply amount of the grain rods, improper selection is performed, and inconveniences such as clogging of the processed material are caused. It was

A contact-type grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) is mounted as a grain rod supply state detecting means for detecting.

The grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) will be described. The rotation axis of the handling cylinder (12) is swung around parallel axes so as to come into contact with the processed material in the handling room (A).

In other words, when the handling rod (15) is supplied to the handling chamber (A), the contact piece (15) contacts the object to be treated by the handling barrel (12) and the switch (17) is turned on, and the handling rod is turned on. It detects that it is in the supply state,
Moreover, when the switch (17) is turned off, it can be detected that the grain rod is not supplied. However,
Although not described in detail, since the contact rod (15) is in contact with the grain rod intermittently, the switch (17) is continuously turned off for a set time (set to 2 seconds). If it is in the state, it is determined that the power is not supplied.

As shown in FIG. 12, the swing selection plate (10) includes a Glen pan (18), a chaff sheave (19), and a lower portion of the chaff sheave (19), which are sequentially arranged from the front to the rear. The Glen Sheave (20) is located at, and each part thereof is fixed between the pair of left and right side plates (21) and is formed in a plate shape as a whole.

A second product recovery unit (23) is provided for recovering a processed product (abbreviated as second product in the following description) in which straw dust and the like falling over the terminal end of (20) and the grain are mixed. ing. Although not described in detail, the second item recovery section (2
The second product recovered from 3) is returned to the handling room (A) and treated again.

As shown in FIG. 14, the chaff sheave (19) includes a plurality of strip-shaped members (19a) juxtaposed in the processed material transfer direction (left-right direction in the figure), with the upper end portion serving as a fulcrum. Of the strip plate (21) is rotatably attached to the strip plate member (19a) and the lower end portion of each strip plate member (19a) is pivotally attached to the strip in order to push and pull the strip plate. The distance (t) between the shaped members (19a) (which may be abbreviated as chaff opening in the following description) can be changed and adjusted.

A chaff opening adjusting electric motor (M ₁ ) is provided as an actuator for changing and adjusting the chaff opening, and a linkage mechanism (25) driven by the electric motor (M ₁ ) and the operating rod (24). ) And release wire (2
It is interlocked and linked in 6). In the figure, (27) is a spring for urging the chaff opening to return to the closing side, (S ₂ )
Is a potentiometer-type chaff opening detection sensor for detecting an operation amount of the operation rod (24) by the electric motor (M ₁ ) as a chaff opening, and is attached to the linkage mechanism (25).

To explain the Karato (11), a so-called split pulley type continuously variable transmission is used so that the amount of blown air can be changed and adjusted by changing the number of rotations.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, the Kara (1
The input pulley (28) that rotates 1) is configured as a split pulley, and the operation arm (29) that changes the diameter of the input pulley (28) is rotated by an electric motor (M ₂ ) for adjusting the volume of the toumi air flow. It is provided as described above, and accordingly, the air flow rate (which may be abbreviated as a toumi air flow rate in the following description) is adjusted by changing the rotation speed of the Karato (11) to high or low by the electric motor (M ₂ ). It can be adjusted to change the strength. In the figure, (30) is a drive belt for the input pulley (28), (31) is a linkage mechanism (32) driven by the electric motor (M ₂ ) and the operation arm (2).
9) is a release wire for interlocking connection with, and (S ₃ ) is a potentiometer-type sensor for detecting the volume of stormy air that detects the operation amount of the operating arm (29) as the volume of stormy air. It is attached.

That is, the sorting device (B) adjusts the chaff opening degree to be large or small and the toumi air volume to be strong or weak, so that the sorting device (B) sorts according to the amount of the leakage treatment material from the handling chamber (A). It is structured so that the condition can be adjusted. In addition, as will be described in detail later, basically, the larger the amount of the processed leakage material, the larger the chaff opening, and the stronger the volume of the toumi, the sorted state according to the amount of the processed leakage material. Is adjusted automatically.

Next, a control configuration for automatically adjusting the selection state of the selection device (B) according to the amount of the leakage treatment material will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, a control device (33) using a microcomputer is provided, and the control device (33) includes the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) and the crawler traveling device (1).
The vehicle speed sensor (S ₁ ) that detects the vehicle speed based on the driving speed of the vehicle, the sensor (S ₂ ) for detecting the chaff opening, the sensor (S ₃ ) for detecting the toumi air volume, and the upper limit of the chaff opening are manually set. Chaff opening setting device (S ₄ ) for
Toumi air flow rate setting devices (S ₅ ) for manually setting the lower limit of the toumi air flow rate are respectively connected. However, the above-mentioned Toumi air volume is set as a value of the number of rotations of the above-mentioned Kara (11). In the figure, (SW ₁ ) is an automatic mode in which the chaff opening and the toumi air volume are automatically adjusted in accordance with the leakage processing amount, and the chaff opening and the toumi air volume are each setter (S ₄ ). , (S ₅ ) is an automatic switch for selecting a manual mode for maintaining the target value set by (S ₅ ), and (SW ₂ ) is a rice rod or wheat as the grain rod supplied to the handling room (A). The type of switch for indicating the type of rod is (34) for indicating whether it is soybean or soybean, and when the manual mode is selected, the alarm is activated if the setting of the target value by the setting device (S ₄ ) or (S ₅ ) is incorrect. It is an alarm device as an alarming means.

That is, the chaff opening degree setting device (S ₄ ) and the toumi air volume setting device (S ₅ ) correspond to the target selection state setting means for artificially setting the target selection state of the selection device (B). Become.

Then, using the control device (33), a processed material amount detecting means (100) for detecting the amount of the leaked processed material from the handling room (A), and the automatic transfer mode from the handling room (A) when the automatic mode is selected. The sorting state of the sorting device (B) is changed based on various preset information and information of the various sensors so that a sorting state corresponding to a sorting state in which the amount of processed waste increases as the amount of leaked waste increases. When the automatic mode is selected and the manual mode is selected, the sorting state of the sorting device (B) is set to the chaff opening setting device (S ₄ ) and the toumi air flow setting device (S ₅ ).
The control means (101) for controlling so as to maintain the target selection state set by the above.

Explaining the processed material amount detecting means (100),
The higher the vehicle speed of the combine, the larger the amount of grain rods supplied to the handling room (A), and as a result, the handling room (A).
The amount of leaked material from the tank becomes large. That is, the vehicle speed can be used as information that is proportional to the amount of leaked material.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the chaff opening degree and the toumi air volume are detected by the vehicle speed sensor (S ₁ ) based on the target values set by the setting devices (S ₄ ) and (S ₅ ). The sorting device (B) by correcting according to
The sorting state is automatically adjusted so that the sorting state becomes a sorting state according to the amount of the leakage processed material.

The target value set by the setters (S ₄ ) and (S ₅ ) will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the target value of the chaff opening is the chaff opening setter (S ₄ ). When the value is changed to the minimum value, it becomes a value corresponding to the state where it is slightly opened from the fully closed state, and the maximum value of the chaff opening setting device (S ₄ ) becomes the maximum value of the chaff opening. , The adjustment range is decided. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the target value of the air volume of the seaweed is the minimum rotation speed (800 rpm) when the air volume setter (S ₅ ) is operated to the minimum value, and when it is operated to the maximum value. The adjustment range is set so that the maximum rotation speed (1250 rpm) is achieved.

However, when the grain rods supplied to the handling room (A) are wheat and soybeans, the target volume of the thyme air flow is set by the thyme air flow rate setting device (S ₅ ) irrespective of the amount of the leaked material. I keep it at the value.

In addition, when the grain rod is wheat, the chaff opening degree adjuster (S ₄ ) is adjusted so that the chaff opening degree is adjusted to the closing side as the vehicle speed decreases, as shown in FIG. ) was automatically adjust its opening degree in accordance with the vehicle speed as the upper limit target value by, and the winnowing fan air volume, as shown in FIG. 6, the winnowing fan air volume setter in the range of 1200rpm from 1000 rpm (S ₅₎ The target value set by is maintained.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the grain rod is rice, the chaff opening degree setting device adjusts the chaff opening degree toward the closing side as the vehicle speed decreases, as in the case of the wheat. The opening is automatically adjusted according to the vehicle speed with the target value according to (S ₄ ) as an upper limit, and the toumi air volume is forced to increase as the vehicle speed increases, as shown in FIG. The target value set by the setter (S ₅ ) is used as the lower limit for automatic adjustment.

However, the chaff opening is adjusted to be closer to the closing side than when wheat is used at the same vehicle speed.

When the grain rod is soybean, as in the case of the wheat,
The chaff opening is automatically adjusted according to the vehicle speed as shown in FIG. 9, and the toumi air volume is 1000 as shown in FIG.
The target value set by the toumi air flow rate setting device (S ₅ ) is maintained within the range of rpm to 1200 rpm.

That is, the control means (101), in the automatic mode, corresponds to the type of grain rod to be threshed, and the Kara (1)
It is configured so that it can be switched between a first control state in which the air flow rate of 1) is automatically adjusted according to the amount of the leakage processing material and a second control state in which the air flow rate is maintained at a preset set value. However, in both of the first control state and the second control state, the chaff opening is automatically adjusted according to the leakage processing material amount.

Further, although not described in detail, since the Karato (11) is configured to change the rotation speed by using a split pulley type transmission, the Karato (11) is not changed even when the automatic mode is selected. If the number of revolutions in 4) is smaller than the preset value, it is determined that the threshing device (3) is in the non-operating state, and the actual control is not started.

By the way, until the cutting operation is started, since there is no substance to be leaked from the handling room (A), the sorting state cannot be automatically adjusted depending on the vehicle speed. Therefore, the chaff opening is set to a preset minimum value. In addition, the toumi air volume is maintained in the weakest state. The control state until the start of the reaping work is abbreviated as mode 1 in the following description. However, as shown in FIG. 11, the minimum value of the chaff opening in this mode 1 is maintained on the open side in the case of rice compared to the case of wheat.

After starting the reaping work, as described above, the chaff opening degree and the toumi air volume are automatically adjusted so as to be in a sorting state according to the amount of the leakage processing material based on the information of the vehicle speed sensor (S ₁ ). I will let you. However, in the case of wheat and soybean, the toumi air volume is maintained at the target value set by the tomi air volume setting device (S ₄ ) and only the chaff opening is automatically adjusted. The control state during the mowing work is abbreviated as mode 2 in the following description.

Next, when the mowing work is completed, the state is the same as that before starting the mowing work (mode 1). However, even when the mowing work is completed, the amount of the leaked material from the handling room (A) is reduced. Does not disappear immediately, so
After the mowing operation, the chaff opening and toumi air volume are maintained at the current values until the set time elapses, and then the chaff opening is gradually reduced and the toumi air volume is gradually decreased. The mode 1 is changed while changing. The control state at the end of mowing is abbreviated as mode 3 in the following description.

However, when the type of grain rod instructed by the grain rod type selection switch (SW ₂ ) is wheat or soybean, only the chaff opening is automatically adjusted, and the toumi flow rate is set by the setting device (S ₅ ). The target value set by will be maintained. Then, the time to maintain the chaff opening at the current value is longer in the case of rice than in the case of wheat, and the minimum value when returning to the mode 1 is:
The size of rice is larger than that of wheat. And if it is rice, this mode 3
When the mode is shifted from the mode to the mode 1, the toumi air volume is gradually reduced.

On the other hand, when the grain rod is soybean, the chaff opening is automatically adjusted according to the vehicle speed in any of the mode 1, the mode 2, and the mode 3, and the toumi air volume is the setting device (S). _The target value set by ₅ ) is maintained.

It should be noted that the cutting start and the cutting end are discriminated based on the information of the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ).

Next, the operation of the control device (33) will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

As the control is activated, the automatic switch (S
It is determined whether the automatic mode is selected based on the information of W ₁ ).

When the automatic mode is selected, it is determined whether or not the cutting is being performed based on the information of the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ), that is, the state in which the grain rod is supplied to the handling room (A). Or not.

If the grain rod is in a non-supply state, it is determined that the state is in the state before the start of cutting, the mode is shifted to the control state of the mode 1, the chaff opening is fully closed, and the toumi air volume is the weakest. Will be kept in a state. However, when the instruction by the grain rod selection switch (SW ₂ ) is wheat or soybean, the thyme air volume is maintained at the target value set by the setting device (S ₅ ).

When the grain rod is in the supply state, it is determined based on the change in the ON / OFF state of the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) whether it is mowing or shifting from mowing to the end of mowing. To do.

When the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) changes from OFF to ON and it is determined that the cutting is started, the control state of the mode 2 is entered, and based on the detection information of the vehicle speed sensor (S ₁ ). The chaff opening and the toumi air volume are automatically adjusted. However, the above-mentioned grain rod selection switch (SW ₂ )
When the instruction by means is wheat or soybean, the toumi air volume is maintained at the target value set by the setting device (S ₅ ) even during mowing.

When the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) changes from ON to OFF to determine the end of cutting, the control state of the mode 3 is entered, and the chaff opening degree and the toumi air volume are set for a set time. After maintaining the current value, the control state of the mode 1 is restored while gradually decreasing.

On the other hand, when the manual mode is selected by the automatic switch (SW ₁ ), the chaff opening and the thyme air volume are information of the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) and the vehicle speed sensor (S ₁ ). Regardless of the above, each setting device (S ₄ ),
The target value set by (S ₅ ) will be maintained.

However, when the manual mode is selected, the target value set by each of the setters (S ₄ ) and (S ₅ ) is set to a value smaller than the set value corresponding to the small processing amount state. If the grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) changes from OFF to ON, the buzzer (34) is activated to give an alarm in order to inform the user of a malfunction. There is.

The control device (33) repeatedly executes the above-described processes until the power is turned off.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where both the chaff opening degree and the toumi air volume are automatically adjusted has been illustrated, but the control configuration is simplified so that only one of the chaff opening degree and the toumi air volume is adjusted. You may.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the rotation speed of the Karato (11) is changed and adjusted by using the split pulley type transmission, but the Karato (11) is electrically controlled by changing the rotation speed. By driving with a motor etc., the rotation speed can be varied to change and adjust the Toumi air volume, or the Karatsu (11) rotation speed is constant and the air supply quantity to the Karamo (11) can be changed to change the Toumi air volume. It may be changed and adjusted, and the specific configuration for changing and adjusting the toumi air volume can be variously changed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the amount of the leakage processing substance from the handling room (A) is detected based on the vehicle speed is exemplified, but it may be detected based on the torque of the handling cylinder (12), for example. Alternatively, the detection may be performed based on the driving torque of the auger (8) or the scraping and conveying unit (9), and the specific configuration of the processed material amount detecting means (100) can be variously changed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the contact type grain rod detection sensor (S ₀ ) for detecting whether or not the handling chamber (A) is in the state of being fed with the grain rod is provided in the handling chamber to discriminate the start and the end of cutting. Although the case has been described as an example, the determination is made based on, for example, a change in the torque of the handling cylinder (12) or a change in the drive torque of the scraping conveyance section (9) of the auger (8). Of course, the concrete configuration of the grain rod supply state detecting means for determining the start and end of cutting can be changed in various ways.
