<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester having an image pickup means to acquire image information for confirming storage state of grains discharged from a grain spout and, nevertheless, minimizing damaging risk of the image pickup means. <P>SOLUTION: A lateral transfer conveyor 20 for laterally transferring grains and discharging the grains from a machine through the grain spout 19 is placed, at the top of a vertical transfer conveyor for lifting grains in a grain tank, in a manner enabling tilting and swiveling motion and gyratable around a vertical shaft of the vertical transfer conveyor between a housing position and a grain discharging position. The image pickup means 28 for taking the image of a part below the grain spout 19 is placed below an outer cylinder 31 of the lateral transfer conveyor 20 at a position above the lower end position L1 of the grain spout 19 viewed from an axial direction of the outer cylinder 31 and inside in a lateral direction within the outer end position L2 of the lateral direction of the outer cylinder 31. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
