Threshing and separating system with adjustable rotor vanes

A threshing and separating system including a rotor cage, a first vane rail movably connected to the rotor cage, and a first vane portion with a first constrained end pivotably connected to the rotor cage and a first movable end linked to the first vane rail. The threshing and separating system further including a second vane rail movably connected to the rotor cage, and a second vane portion with a second constrained end pivotably connected to the rotor cage and a second movable end linked to the second vane rail, the second vane portion and the first vane portion together define a substantially continuous vane.

ADJUSTABLE VANES FOR USE IN A CYLINDRICAL ROTOR CAGE OF AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER

An adjustable vane system for use with a rotor cage of a threshing system of an agricultural harvester includes a vane. The vane includes: a generally helically curved inner profile; a surface being an outer profile that is opposite the inner profile and is generally helically curved over a portion of the vane, the outer profile being configured to be positioned closer to the rotor cage than the inner profile; and a flat portion located midway along the outer profile.

A rotary sieve cleaning shoe having at least one rotary sieve, generally cylindrical and arranged to rotate around a longitudinal axis, and having an inner sieve and an outer sieve, each with holes, and one of the inner and outer sieves is longitudinally movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the other of the inner or outer sieve where the overlap between the holes varies such that the apparent size of a hole, corresponding to the overlap, through the rotary sieve is varied correspondingly.

Agricultural harvester cleaning system having early grain evacuation
10542678 · 2020-01-28 · ·

An agricultural harvester includes a chassis, a threshing and separating system for separating grain from MOG, and a grain cleaning system for further separating grain from residual MOG. The grain cleaning system has a main grain pan beneath the threshing and separating system with the grain pan having openings in its forward and to selectively receive grain from the forward portion of the threshing and separating system. A component beneath the main grain pan directs flow in parallel to the cleaning system either to a pre-sieve within the cleaning system or to an upper sieve.
