ROW DIVIDER HAVING A CONVEYOR FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
20170049056 · 2017-02-23 · ·

A corn header for a combine harvester capable of lifting stalks that have fallen sideways in a row is provided. The corn header includes a frame, a plurality of row units and a plurality of row dividers for guiding crop plants toward the row units. The frame is mounted to a forward end of the combine harvester. The plurality of row units extends forward from the frame. Each row divider is connected to and extends forward of at least one row unit, and includes a conveyor connected to a lateral side of the row divider for the purpose of lifting and propelling crop plants into the corn header. In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor is an auger including a helical flight having a non-circular profile or a plurality of notches to increase its ability to lift and propel crop plants into the corn header.

Row divider containing a helicoidal lift of variable cross section and a sugar cane harvester

The objective of the present invention is achieved by means of a row divider (1) applied to a sugar cane harvester (100). Said device (1) comprises at least one helicoidal lift (2) connected to an engine. Said helicoidal lift (2) has a conical shape geometry of variable cross section around an imaginary central axis (102), and comprises a first segment (3) and a second segment (4). The first segment (3) establishes a first generatrix (5) which defines an angle a to the central axis (102) and comprises a first screw thread (6) in its outer surface. The second segment (4) establishes a second generatrix (7) which defines an angle to the central axis (102), so that has a greater value than a. Said second segment (4) comprises a second screw thread (8) in its surface, which is oriented in the opposite direction of the first screw thread (6). Said device provides a higher peripheral speed in the last stage of separation and direction of the sugar cane cut by the blades of a sugar cane harvester (100) and lifted by the first segment (3) of the helicoidal lift (2) of a row divider (1). This aims to facilitate and expedite the work of the harvester (100), since it prevents the accumulation of material improperly positioned at the mouth of the harvester (100).
