Abstract
A binding device for a baler including at least one twine needle, a knotter shaft for driving the needle, a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with the plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft, and a transmission unit provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including elements which insure that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a higher speed than the one-stop clutch.
Claims13
A binding device for a baler including a driven plunger, comprising at least one twine needle;
- a knotter shaft for driving the needle;
- a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with a plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft;
- and transmission means provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including means for insuring that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a speed higher than that of the one-stop clutch,
- wherein the transmission means includes a connecting shaft, and the insuring means comprises a gear mounted on the connecting shaft and a pinion mounted on the knotter shaft and engageable with the gear mounted on the connecting shaft.
A binding device for a baler including a driven plunger, comprising at least one twine needle;
- a knotter shaft for driving the needle;
- a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with a plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft;
- and transmission means provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including means for insuring that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a speed higher than that of the one-stop clutch,
- wherein the insuring means comprises a face gear segment associated with the one-stop clutch and a pinion mounted on the connecting shaft and engageable with the face gear segment.
A binding device for a baler including at least one twine needle, a knotter shaft for driving the needle, a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with a plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft, and a transmission unit provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including elements which insure that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a higher speed than the one-stop clutch,
- wherein the transmission means comprises a gear unit for transmitting rotation from the one-stop clutch to the knotter shaft, and wherein the device further comprises an additional clutch for connecting the gear unit with the knotter shaft and providing for a complete revolution of the knotter shaft upon actuation of the one-stop clutch.
A binding device for a baler including a driven plunger, comprising at least one twine needle;
- a knotter shaft for driving the needle;
- a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with a plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft;
- and transmission means arranged between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and providing for one complete revolution of the knotter shaft for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch and with a rotational speed higher than that of the one-stop clutch.
