The present invention relates to a reaper for grains, specially for the bean grains. More specifically, the present invention refers to technical and functional improvements specially developed and introduced which configures a bean reaper that is classified as a trailer to carry out two different operations, the first one of which is gathering various plants, such as bean plants, peanuts and other grains, plants which are previously plucked and aligned, whereas the second function of which is to perform a whole cleaning process by separating the grains (seeds) from the remaining unwanted parts.

A multi-row peanut harvester having linkage for independent vertical movement of digger/shaker/inverter assemblies for digging peanut vines from the ground in a field, shaking dirt from the peanut vine roots, and inverting the peanut vines for exposing the peanuts to air. Each linkage comprises two A-frame structures joined at apexes a connecting member. The A-frames connect to a tool bar which attaches to a tractor and to a connector bar which attaches to the DSI assembly. The DSI move vertically independently in response to the DSI's wheels travelling on the ground, independently of the adjacent DSI.

A blade construction for a cultivator blade or a cultivator sweep, wherein the blade is adapted to sever plants from the ground by digging up the roots, to permit collection of the plants and subsequent separation of the fruit contained thereon. The blade includes first and second elongated body portions that have respective upper surfaces that are disposed relative to each other to define an obtuse included angle. The forward body portion includes a cutting edge that extends longitudinally of the blade, the cutting edge defined by the intersection of the upper planar surface of the first body portion with a longitudinally-extending grinding surface that is oriented at an acute angle relative to the forward upper planar surface. The obtuse included angle between the first and second body portions can range from about 150.degree. to about 170.degree., and the acute angle at the grinding surface can range from about 25.degree. to about 35.degree..

A harvester for harvesting green peanuts is moved along a peanut bed. A plant conveyor using an angled pair of back-to-back V-belts is arranged to cause the belts to grip the stem area of peanut plants and, as the belts move rearward and the harvester moves forward, the plants are pulled from the bed. Picking elements having a plurality of toothed picking combs move laterally beneath the belts, contacting the plant root structure and removing the peanuts therefrom. Means are provided for removing dirt from the roots, transporting picked peanuts to a storage bin and storing the peanuts therein.

Apparatus for separating peanuts and like commodities from vines and debris entrained with the peanuts during the harvesting process includes an endless conveyor forming a screen structure made up of elongated platelike members interconnected by spaced apart endless roller chains trained over a triangular arrangement of drive shafting and supporting sprockets. The conveyor screen members are formed by the elongated plates which include horizontally projecting spaced apart tines and vertically extending rake teeth aligned with the tines. The adjacent tines and adjacent plates form openings of predetermined size for allowing peanuts to drop through the conveyor screen into a first receiving hopper while retaining stems, vine parts and other debris on the conveyor screen to be deposited in a second receiving hopper. Two separation stages are incorporated in a single endless conveyor unit to permit primary separation of peanuts which have already been de-stemmed and secondary separation of peanuts after a de-stemming process.
摘要:
An apparatus adapted to dig four rows of growing peanut-laden plants and dispose them in turned position as two windrows, the apparatus having two sets of plows with the forward push of the leading end of the plows being away from the center of the front of the apparatus, and two elevating conveyors, one behind each set of plows, for removing as ribbons of peanut plants the four rows of plants, two ribbons of plants being elevated by each conveyor and dropped from the height of the conveyor to an inverting means to place the rows of plants from each conveyor in a windrow on the ground in a turned position.

The inverter section of the present peanut digger-shaker-inverter may be used under all types of field conditions and comprises two downwardly and inwardly inclined drums, each drum being associated with a set of inverting tines. Each drum includes a plurality of equally spaced discs each holding a plurality of curved finger rods with adjacent pairs of the inverting tines having portions straddling a disc and curving similarly thereto beneath the outer extremities of the curved finger rods so that peanut plants are subject to a positive force in moving along and through the set of inverting tines with the plants being bumped and agitated by the gentle prodding of the ends of the rods and thereby affording an additional cleaning or reshaking action which lets the loosened soil fall freely through the drums and not on the inverted peanut vines which have been deposited on the ground and also assuring proper drying conditions and minimum field losses of the peanuts.

Immediately rearwardly of the peanut combine pickup head, a plowshare supported by gage wheels delivers fallen loose peanuts to an inclined conveyor having rearwardly moving paddle bars which sweep the loose peanuts rearwardly and upwardly over a rod grate through which small debris is sifted. At the rear of the conveyor and grate, the loose peanuts are delivered into a cross auger having a trough formed by additional grate bars and from this auger trough the loose peanuts and remaining lightweight debris are blown pneumatically into the combine for final cleaning and separation. Heavier debris in the auger trough is forced through a spring loaded trap door at one end of the trough by the action of the auger.

The present invention relates to a speed control unit associated with a peanut combine for driving and controlling the peripheral speed of a forwardly disposed crop engaging pick-up reel rotatively mounted transversely about the front of the peanut combine. The speed control unit basically includes a dual input drive system including a first drive operatively connected to at least one ground engaging wheel of the combine for providing an input drive corresponding to the ground speed of the peanut combine. A second generally constant input drive is provided from a power take-off source associated with the peanut combine. These two drives simultaneously drive a centrifugal clutch which includes an output drive member that is driven at a speed corresponding to the faster of the two input drives. In controlling the peripheral speed of the pick-up reel, the clutch assembly and speed control unit is so designed that the pick-up reel is driven from the output drive member of the clutch assembly such that the peripheral speed of the pick-up reel is generally equal the ground speed of the peanut combine as long as the ground speed of the combine is at least equal to or greater than a selected speed. Where the speed of the peanut combine falls below said selected speed, then the second generally constant input speed from the power take-off source is operative to drive the output drive member of the clutch assembly and consequently the peripheral speed of the pick-up reel is driven at a relatively constant speed in this case.
摘要:
Peanut plants having taproots cut below the soil surface are transported upwardly by a conveyor in a harvesting machine to a location from which the plants are deposited onto the ground. Conical roller devices and guide rods invert the plants as they are discharged from the conveyor to windrow the plants with the taproots exposed.
