Conveying and collecting device with a drivable conveying and collecting unit and agricultural crop press with the conveying and collecting device

A conveying and collecting device for an agricultural crop press, the conveying and collecting device comprising:

• a collecting chamber;
• a drivable conveying and collecting unit arranged in the collecting chamber and configured to be switched from a collecting mode into a lifting mode, wherein, in the collecting mode, the drivable conveying and collecting unit is configured to collect a crop in the collecting chamber, wherein, in the lifting mode, the drivable conveying and collecting unit is configured to convey the crop out of the collecting chamber, wherein the drivable conveying and collecting unit comprises a feed bar comprising feed tines;
• a first cam track configured to rotate the feed tines of the feed bar as a function of the collecting mode and of the lifting mode, wherein the first cam track is configured to be moved from a fixed state, in which the first cam track is stationarily arranged in the conveying and collecting device and the drivable conveying and collecting unit is in the collecting mode, into a moving state, in which the first cam track is driven by the drivable conveying and collecting unit and the drivable conveying and collecting unit is in the lifting mode;
• a coupling device configured to operatively connect the first cam track to the drivable conveying and collecting unit in a coupling process so that the first cam track is driven by the drivable conveying and collecting unit;
• a sensor unit configured to detect a filling level of the collecting chamber;
• a switching means configured to trigger or to prevent the coupling process of the coupling device as a function of the filling level of the collecting chamber, wherein the switching means triggers or prevents the coupling process mechanically independently of a detection of the filling level of the collecting chamber by the sensor unit;
• a switching lever interacting with the switching means, wherein the switching means is configured to be switched reversibly from an active state into an inactive state, wherein the switching means releases the switching lever in the active state, and wherein the switching means secures the switching lever with friction and/or form fit in a position in the inactive state;
• wherein, in the active state of the switching means, the switching lever is adjustable from a base position into an actuating position, wherein the switching lever is not operatively connected to the coupling device in the base position, and wherein the switching lever is operatively connected to the coupling device in the actuating position and triggers or prevents the coupling process.
