THRESHING ELEMENT FOR HARVESTERS

摘要

A threshing element (24) includes a structure (35) having an outside surface (36) for threshing a crop material (66), and an inside surface (38). A body (40) is operatively connected to a sensor (42). The body (40) is secured to the inside surface (38) of the structure (35), the body (40) having a connecting feature (68) for securing at least the body (40) and the structure (35) to each other. The structure (35) is securable to a rotatable threshing rotor (14) of a harvester threshing system (12). In response to operation of the threshing rotor (14) of the harvester threshing system (12), the sensor (40) outputs a signal corresponding to forces generated by contact between the outside surface (36) of the structure (35) and the crop material (66).
