Adjustable deflector apparatus for crop residue from an axially arranged threshing system to a residue distribution system

摘要

Adjustable deflector (52) apparatus for transitioning crop residue from an axially arranged threshing system (22) of a combine (20) to a crop residue distribution system (24) is disposed in a position such that at least a portion of a crop residue flow from the threshing system (22) will strike or impinge the deflector (52) and be deflected thereby downwardly and transversely toward the crop residue distribution system (24). An adjusting mechanism (62, 64, 66) is operable for moving the deflector (52) in relation to an internal side (38) of the combine for adjusting a desired parameter or parameters of the deflected flow.
