    摘要: The present invention is in particular related to an agricultural harvesting vehicle, such as a combine harvester for gathering crops from a field and processing the crops in order to separate grain kernels from residue material such as stalks and leaves. The harvesting vehicle of the invention is provided with a cleaning section comprising a blower (10) and at least one sieve (3, 5), usually a set of an upper and lower sieve. The sieves (3, 5) are configured to transport a layer comprising a mixture of grain kernels and residue material towards an exit edge (16) of the sieve so that kernels fall through the sieve's openings and residue remains on the sieve until it is ejected from the sieve by crossing the exit edge (16). The sieve (3, 5) may be subject to a grain loss, consisting of a sieve-off loss and a blowout loss, said losses being respectively due to grain kernels being ejected together with the residue across the exit edge (16), or becoming airborne and being blown out of the cleaning section by the blower (10). In a harvester according to the invention, the cleaning section is further equipped with sensing means (20, 21, 37) configured to determine whether the blowout loss or the sieve-off loss is the highest contributor to the total grain loss. The sensing means (20, 21, 37) may further be equipped with a grain loss detector (15) configured to measure the sieve off loss and at least a portion of the blowout loss. The invention is in particular related to embodiments wherein the sensing means (20, 21, 37) is configured to measure a differential pressure obtained by a suitable pressure sensing configuration (20, 21) or a measurement of the blowout loss, relative to the total grain loss or to the sieve-off loss, by an impact sensor (37) mounted above the sieve (3).

    摘要: A header of a harvester includes a header segment, a center section, an actuator coupling the header segment to the center section, and a controller. The header segment includes a cutter bar configured to cut crops and the header segment includes a first portion of a conveyor assembly. The center section includes a second portion of the conveyor assembly, in which the center section is configured to receive crops from the header segment via the first portion of the conveyor assembly, and the second portion of the conveyor assembly is configured to transport the received crops to a crop processing system of the harvester. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a target position of the header segment and the controller is configured to control the actuator to adjust the header segment to the target position.

    摘要: A corn ear harvester which comprises two deck plates and two gathering chain devices. The gathering chain devices each comprise an endless chain which forms a chain loop which comprises a straight operational part; a corn ear paddle and paddle connector which connects the corn ear paddle to the chain. The device further comprises a corn stalk channel having a deck plate channel section extends between the deck plates and a gathering chain channel section between the gathering chain devices. The deck plate channel section is too narrow for a corn ear to pass through. The corn ear paddles are arranged adjacent to a deck plate on the side of the ear blocking surface of said first deck plate and the endless chains of the gathering chain devices are arranged adjacent to the deck plates on the opposite side.
