Abstract

A modular gathering platform for grain harvesters, for coupling to the front of a grain harvester or processor, with means to gather plants previously prepared in one or more rows by at least one central belt conveyor with functional side by side coupling means to other equal harvesting conveyor belts, all of them positioned with their variable inclination, with their front extremity stays level with the ground to gather a row that was previously prepared, while their opposite extremities are also equally aligned with their respective anti jamming roll, these rolls and the upper extremities of the conveyors belts are assembled on the front of a transversal mounting structure that, by its outer rear, has an ample exit for harvested plants, as it also equipped with articulated means for coupling to the front of a general machine that will process the harvested plants.

Dependent claims

A modular gathering platform for grain harvesters comprising:

transversal mounting structure, having an internal opening;
a central, a front and a rear portion;
the rear portion defining an exit;
and including articulated means for coupling to a front of a machine that processes harvested plants;
at least one central harvesting conveyor belt, having a front and rear extremities and two sides coupling means;
assembled to the front portion of the transversal mounting structure by the rear extremity;
first and second harvesting conveyor belts, each coupled to each of the two sides of the central harvesting conveyor belt, by the side coupling means;
and
each having a front and rear extremities;
each assembled to the front portion of the transversal mounting structure by the rear extremity;
an anti jamming roll,
a rotating guiding roll for harvested plants assembled on the internal opening of the mounting structure, the rotating guiding rolls provided with means for receiving the harvested plants gathered by each of the at least one central harvesting conveyor belt and the first and second harvesting conveyor belts,
wherein the at least one central harvesting conveyor belt and the first and second harvesting conveyor belts are inclined in such a manner that the front extremity is constructed and arranged in a manner leveled with the ground for enabling gathering of a previously prepared row;
and the rear extremity is aligned with the respective anti jamming roll,
wherein the at least one central harvesting conveyor belt and the first and second harvesting conveyor belts, the anti jamming rolls and the guiding roll for the plants are synchronized by an actuation assembly, and
wherein the rotating guiding roll for harvested plants concentrating the harvested plants on the central portion of the structure and moving the harvested plants towards the exit.
