Combine threshing system with crop flow control
10172291 · 2019-01-08 · ·

A threshing system for an agricultural harvester includes a rotor and a substantially cylindrical cage that surrounds at least a portion of the rotor. The threshing system also features a material flow adjustor for controlling axial movement of material through the cage. The material flow adjustor is movably mounted adjacent to a threshing space and includes at least one material conveying edge that enters the threshing space. The material flow adjustor is moveable between a first operative position, in which the at least one material conveying edge is spaced from the rotor in a radial direction by a first distance, and a second operative position in which the at least one material conveying edge is spaced from the rotor in the radial direction by a second distance, the second distance being less than the first distance.

REMOTE CONTROL OF SETTINGS ON A COMBINE HARVESTER
20180359917 · 2018-12-20 ·

A user device, that is remote from a combine harvester, receives setting information, indicative of a set of settings on the combine harvester. A display controller controls a display device on the remote computing system to display an interface showing the combine harvester settings, along with an adjustment actuator. A settings adjustment input is received through the settings adjustment actuator on the displayed interface. A settings adjustment message is generated, and a communication system on the remote computing system is controlled to send the settings adjustment message to the combine. A verification notification is received at the remote computing system, showing the adjusted settings on the combine.

COMBINE HARVESTER CONCAVE ASSEMBLY AND ATTACHMENT METHOD

A concave assembly for an agricultural machine includes a frame pivotally connected to a structural component and a concave connected to the frame. The frame includes a trunnion having a front end and a rear end. A front arm and a rear arm are connected to the trunnion. A crossbar extends between the front arm and the rear arm. A rotating member rotatably connected to the crossbar. The concave includes a first outer support and a second outer support. An inner support is positioned between the first outer support and the second outer support. A plurality of separator bars extend between the first outer support and the second outer support.

KITS AND COMPONENTS FOR REGULATING THE FLOW OF MATERIAL OTHER THAN GRAIN THROUGH COMMON CONCAVES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY EQUALIZING THE FLOW OF GRAIN THROUGH COMMON CONCAVES
20240306551 · 2024-09-19 ·

A MOG limiting device, herein described as a MOG limiter, approximates a portion of the curvilinear length of a concave. The MOG limiting device can include a connection point near the middle of a concave, slightly offset from center. A bolt, washer and nut assembly protrudes downwardly from the underside of the concave. Two assemblies are positioned in the middle of each side of the concave. The assemblies cooperate with a mounting plate on the MOG limiters to form an upper concave connection and a lower concave connection in each half of the concave. In the cross frame, insert slots are positioned to receive a hinge point located at the end of each arced member making up the frame (rail supports). The hinge points are slidably inserted into the opening and then rotated upwardly to be positioned adjacent to and in conformity with the curvature of the underside of the concave with the connection assemblies holding the MOG limiter in place.

Methods and systems for threshing/separating grains and legumes utilizing concaves

Methods and systems utilize multiple components to improve the threshing operation within an agricultural combine. The methods and systems include a unique concave design, open valley rasp bars, and restrictor plates. Application of the methods and systems' components allows more efficient threshing operations for large grains such as corn and, also, for small grains such as soybeans resulting in an increased capture and retention of seed from the threshing operation.
