Abstract
A combined harvester has a sieve box having a receiving plate for receiving the grain threshed by the combined harvester and at least one sieve receiving the grain from the receiving plate, a drive operatively connected to the sieve box for oscillating the same in a predetermined direction, and a device operatively connected to the sieve box for changing the direction of oscillation of the latter during movement of the combined harvester over a slope inclined in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis and concomitant lateral inclination of the receiving plate and the sieve in dependence upon the lateral inclination to thereby obtain a uniform distribution of the grain on the receiving plate and the sieve by changing the transportation direction of the grain.
Claims8
In a combine harvester having a longitudinal axis, a combination comprising a sieve box having a receiving plate for receiving the grain threshed by the combine harvester and at least one sieve receiving the grain from said receiving plate;
- drive means operatively connected to said sieve box for oscillating the same in a predetermined direction;
- and further means operatively connected to the sieve box for changing the direction of oscillation of the latter during movement of the combine harvester over a slope inclined in a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis and concomitant lateral inclination of said receiving plate and said at least one sieve in dependence on said lateral inclination to thereby obtain a uniform distribution of the grain on said receiving plate and said at least one sieve by changing the transportation direction of the grain.
