Corn header for a forage harvester including a side separating mechanism

摘要

A corn header (4) for a forage harvester for harvesting stalked crop includes a set of cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms for cutting the crop in a substantially horizontal direction. A separating mechanism for separating the crop in a substantially vertical direction is positioned on at least one side of the corn header, laterally next to the cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms.

1. A corn header for a forage harvester for harvesting stalked crop, comprising:
a plurality of rotatably driven cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms (6) for cutting the crop from the ground in a substantially horizontal direction; and a separating mechanism (7) for separating the crop in a substantially vertical direction; wherein the separating mechanism (7) comprises separating knives (8) that are vertically displaceable and implement a scissors-like severance cut and is positioned respectively on one side of the corn header (4), laterally next to the cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms (6); and wherein the cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms (6) comprise drums and are equipped with conveying elements for conveying the crop such that the crop is cut and conveyed by the cutting and intake conveyor mechanisms (6) via a rotating motion.
