GRAIN COMBINE HEADER Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: header has casing with finger-type auger connected through additional conveyor to inclined chamber. Additional conveyor is made in the form rubberized belt and is tightened on drive, guiding and tension rolls. Drive roll is connected through brackets-carriers with lower shaft of floating conveyor of inclined chamber. Guiding shaft is fixed on header casing. Tension roll provides for tightening of rubberized belt by means of springs. During operation of grain combine header is deflected and, as a result, mutual arrangement of mentioned rolls is changed. It allows space between header casing and floating conveyor of inclined chamber to be totally controlled and, as a result, conditions for transportation of product from header auger to floating conveyor to be improved. EFFECT: simplified construction and increased efficiency. 2 cl, 2 dwg
