WINDER Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: winder has rakes with tensometers adapted for controlling action of planks upon stalks. Tensometers are electrically connected with winder rotational frequency adjusting unit. The latter has control device for switching main and auxiliary winder rotational frequency adjusting circuit and correcting devices arranged in the vicinity of control lever. Winder rotational frequency adjusting unit controls through control devices electric hydraulic distributor of winder variable-speed drive. Apparatus of such construction improves precision of automatic regulation of winder rotational speed by controlling action of winder rakes upon plant mass stalks at different speeds of combine. Apparatus may be used in combines having header equipped with winder. EFFECT: simplified construction and increased efficiency. 1 dwg
