Abstract

Abstract In a harvester thresher an arrangement for uniform distribution of agricultural product on a reciprocating transporting and cleaning organs of a sieve conveyor includes an upper sieve of a sieve box which is formed so that it has a transporting component toward a side changeable in its value in dependence upon an inclined position of the harvester thresher during threshing on an inclined surface.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 214 words
An arrangement of a harvester thresher, comprising an arrangement for uniform distribution of an agricultural product on reciprocating transporting and cleaning organs of a sieve conveyor in inclined position, particularly for the uniform distribution of an agricultural product in a sieve box of a self-propelled harvester thresher on an inclined surface, wherein swinging direction and thereby transporting direction of a transported product is changeable depending on a lateral inclination of the transporting and cleaning organs, said arrangement including an upper sieve which is swingably supported in said sieve box so as to impart a movement in transporting direction to said product, and means linked to said upper sieve for changing the direction of movement of the transported product relative to a lateral side of said sieve box in dependence upon an inclined position of the harvester thresher during threshing on an inclined surface, and further comprising an elastic member by which said upper sieve is suspended on a machine housing, links engaging laterally said upper sieve and extending through a slot both in a sieve box lateral wall and through a slot in a harvester lateral wall, and position-changeable supporting pieces connected with an outer side of the harvester thresher wall and arranged so that said links are rotatably mounted on said supporting pieces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 214 words
An arrangement of a harvester thresher, comprising an arrangement for uniform distribution of an agricultural product on reciprocating transporting and cleaning organs of a sieve conveyor in inclined position, particularly for the uniform distribution of an agricultural product in a sieve box of a self-propelled harvester thresher on an inclined surface, wherein swinging direction and thereby transporting direction of a transported product is changeable depending on a lateral inclination of the transporting and cleaning organs, said arrangement including an upper sieve which is swingably supported in said sieve box so as to impart a movement in transporting direction to said product, and means linked to said upper sieve for changing the direction of movement of the transported product relative to a lateral side of said sieve box in dependence upon an inclined position of the harvester thresher during threshing on an inclined surface, and further comprising an elastic member by which said upper sieve is suspended on a machine housing, links engaging laterally said upper sieve and extending through a slot both in a sieve box lateral wall and through a slot in a harvester lateral wall, and position-changeable supporting pieces connected with an outer side of the harvester thresher wall and arranged so that said links are rotatably mounted on said supporting pieces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 1; and further comprising consoles outwardly mounted on the harvester thresher side walls, and turning levers connected with said supporting pieces and turnably supported on said consoles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 2; and further comprising a coupling rod connecting said turning levers with one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 3, wherein said consoles have axes; and further comprising an additional coupling rod which engages at least one of said turning levers and turns, in dependence upon the inclined position of the harvester thresher on the slope, said turning levers about said axes of said consoles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 64 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 2; and further comprising a container connected with said turning lever and movably supported on the harvester thresher lateral wall, a cylinder-piston unit arranged to turn said container, a pendulum suspended on said container having a control valve, a hydraulic device having a return system from which a pressure medium actuates said cylinder-piston unit via said control valve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5; and further comprising a coupling rod connecting at least one of said turning levers with said container.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5; and further comprising a supporting arm which movably supports said container on the harvester thresher lateral wall.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 20 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said cylinder-piston unit engage said container and the harvester thresher lateral wall.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said control valve is fixedly connected with said container.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 18 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5; and further comprising means for damping said pendulum in its movement.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 25 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 10, wherein said damping means includes means filling said container so as to dampen said pendulum in its movement.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 16 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said control valve is arranged in said container.
