Abstract
A harvesting machine having a dividing device for dividing granular material from stem- or stalk-like material, and a separating device connected downstream of the dividing device, in which there is a conveying unit for conveying the stream of material from the dividing device to the separating device. In order to satisfactorily discharge the stem- or stalk-like material from the conveying tines of the conveying unit, cleaning elements are provided for cleaning away the material being conveyed over the free ends of the conveying tines.
Claims20
A harvesting machine, comprising:
- a dividing device which divides a granular stream of material from a stream of material of remaining plant parts;
- a separating device coupled downstream of the dividing device;
- a revolving conveying drum rotating about an axis transverse to the driving direction of the harvesting machine and having moveable conveying tines provided to convey the stream of material from the dividing device to the separating device;
- at least one cleaning element which cleans the material away from a free end of the conveying tines;
- wherein the cleaning element is mounted on the conveying drum and protrudes radially outward beyond an outermost surface of the conveying drum to clean the material from the free end of the conveying tines before the conveying tines enter a surface of the drum.
A conveying drum for a harvesting machine having a dividing device for dividing a granular stream of material from the stream of material of remaining plant parts and a separating device connected downstream of the dividing device, the conveying drum comprising:
- a cylindrical drum operatively arranged to rotate about an axis transverse to a driving direction of the harvesting machine;
- moveable conveying tines arranged in the cylindrical drum to convey the stream of material;
- and
- at least one cleaning element arranged on the cylindrical drum so as to extend radially outward beyond an outermost surface of the cylindrical drum, said cleaning element cleaning the material away from a free end of the conveying tines before the conveying tines enter a surface of the drum.
