Abstract
A shaker mechanism used in an agricultural machine, such as sugarcane harvesters and sweet sorghum harvesters. The shaker mechanism is configured for removing mud, dirt and plant remains accumulated in a lower protective tarpaulin of a mounting chassis of conveyor rollers and choppers of the agricultural machine. The shaker mechanism includes at least a bar having ends which are fastened on rotary support bearings. The bar is configured to stand at least partially out from an edge of the bearings forming at least a spare surface for contact with a protective tarpaulin positioned on the chassis of the machine.
Claims18
A SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, characterized by comprising at least a bar (21) whose ends are fastened on rotary support bearings (22, 22′), and said bar (21) is designed to stand at least partially out from the edge of said bearings (22, 22′) forming at least a spare surface (21A, 21A′) for contact with a protective tarpaulin (13) positioned in the chassis (E) portion of the machine.
The SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that said bar (21) comprises a cylindrical and straight format, being installed next to said bearings (22, 22′) in an eccentric and misaligned condition in relation to the centerline (Z) of said bearings.
The SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that said drive means (23) is driven and controlled by the conductor.
The SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that said drive means (23) is driven in a permanent condition from the start of operation of said machine.
The SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that said drive means (23) is a hydraulic engine.
The SHAKER MECHANISM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE, according to any one of preceding claims, characterized in that said actuator (23) is arranged to execute the continuous movement of said bar (21).
A ROLLER, particularly a shaker roller for cleaning the protective tarpaulin (12) of a harvesting machine, characterized in that the roller comprises at least a bar (21) whose ends are fastened on rotary support bearings (22, 22′), and said bar (21) is designed to stand at least partially out from the edge of said bearings (22, 22′) forming at least a spare surface (21A, 21A′).
A HARVESTING MACHINE, of the type for harvesting tall and stalky plants, formed by a chassis (E) mounted on tracks or wheels (R), a drive engine (M), a cabin for operation and control (C), and at the front portion of said chassis (E) there is provided the arrangement of the line dividers (D), knock-down rollers (T) and base cutter disks (B), and said machine (A) further has primary (L1) and secondary (L2) cleaning extractor systems which are interconnected by means of an elevator (F), said chassis (E) is further comprised by an initial section (10a), and a final section (10b) on which there are mounted the sets of conveyor rollers (11) and choppers (12) on which there is provided a protective tarpaulin (13), characterized in that said chassis (E) comprises at least a shaker mechanism (20), as defined in any one of the preceding claims, disposed beneath said protective tarpaulin (13).
