COMBINE LINEAR SIDE-SHAKE CLEANING CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A combine side-shaking control system includes a sieve for separating crop material from other materials and configured to move in a fore-aft direction. At least one side-shaking assembly includes a mounting device attached to a combine chassis, a lower plate configured to rotate about a lower plate axis and an upper plate configured to (i) have an upper plate rotational motion and rotate responsive to the rotation of the lower plate and (ii) have an upper plate substantially linear motion in a substantially linear direction. A fixed arm is rotatably coupled to the upper plate and attached to the sieve. An actuation device is configured to rotate the lower plate about the lower plate axis. Responsive to the rotation of the upper plate, the sieve is controlled to move diagonal to the fore-aft direction in the substantially linear direction of the upper plate substantially linear motion.

1. A combine side-shaking control system, comprising:
(I) a sieve for separating crop material from other materials and configured to move in a fore-aft direction; (II) at least one side-shaking assembly comprising:
a mounting device attached to a combine chassis;a lower plate rotatably coupled to the mounting device and configured to rotate about a lower plate axis;an upper plate coupled to the lower plate and configured to (i) have an upper plate rotational motion and rotate responsive to the rotation of the lower plate and (ii) have an upper plate substantially linear motion in a substantially linear direction; anda fixed arm rotatably coupled to the upper plate and attached to the sieve; and (III) an actuation device (i) attached to the combine chassis, (ii) coupled to the lower plate and (iii) configured to rotate the lower plate about the lower plate axis, wherein, responsive to the rotation of the upper plate, the sieve is controlled to move diagonal to the fore-aft direction in the substantially linear direction of the upper plate substantially linear motion.
