SIDE SHAKE RATE BASED ON MACHINE THROUGHPUTS

摘要

An agricultural harvester has a chassis carrying a header for gathering a crop. The header is removably attached to a feeder housing for feeding the crop into the agricultural harvester to be processed. A threshing and separating system is connected to the feeder housing for separating grain from Material Other than Grain (MOG). A grain cleaning system is connected to the threshing and separating system for further cleaning the separated grain. The grain cleaning system has at least one sieve operable to oscillate fore and aft and a side shaker mechanism operable to produce a side to side shaking motion in the at least one sieve. A control system is connected to the side shaker mechanism and operable to automatically proportionately increase an amount of the side to side shaking motion as a function of an amount and type of crop being processed.

1. An agricultural harvester, comprising:
a chassis carrying a header for gathering a crop, said header removably attached to a feeder housing for feeding the crop into the agricultural harvester to be processed; a threshing and separating system connected to said feeder housing for separating grain from Material Other than Grain (MOG); a grain cleaning system connected to said threshing and separating system for further cleaning the separated grain; said grain cleaning system having at least one sieve operable to oscillate fore and aft; said grain cleaning system further having a side shaker mechanism operable to produce a side to side shaking motion in said at least one sieve; and a control system connected to said side shaker mechanism and operable to automatically proportionately increase an amount of said side to side shaking motion as a function of an amount and type of crop being processed.
