CROSS REFERENCE WITH RELATED REQUESTS
[001] The present invention is an international application designating the United States of America and filed under 35 USC § 120, which claims the priority of US Serial Order number 13 / 715,251, filed on December 14, 2012, the description of which is fully incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[002] The present invention relates in general to a control system for a side stirring cleaning mechanism for use with a combine, such as a combined harvester. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for controlling the movement of a cleaning mechanism with side agitation in a combined harvester. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[003] A combined harvester is a machine that is used to harvest grain crops. The objective is to complete several processes, which were traditionally different, in a passage of the machine over a particular part of the field. Among the crops that can be harvested with a combination are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn, soy, flax or flax, and others. The refuse (for example, straw) discharged into the field includes the stems and dry leaves remaining from the harvest that can, for example, be chopped up and scattered in the field as waste or baled for feeding and fodder for livestock.
[004] A combined harvester cuts the harvest using a large cutting blade. The cut crop can be collected and fed to the combined threshing and separation mechanism, typically consisting of a rotating threshing cylinder or rotor to which grooved steel bars commonly referred to as rasp bars or threshing elements can be screwed on. . These rasp bars thresh and help to separate the grains from the threshing and straw through the action of the drum against the concavities, that is, “half of the drum”, which can also be adjusted with the steel bars and mesh grid, through from which the grain, the threshing and smaller fragments can fall, while the straw, being too big or too long, is transported through the outlet. The threshing, straw and other unwanted materials are returned to the field via a spreading mechanism.
[005] In the combined axial flow, this threshing and separation system serves as a main separation function. The harvested harvest is threshed and separated when it is transported between a longitudinally arranged rotor and the inner surface of an associated compartment comprising threshing and separation hollows, and a rotor housing or cover. The cut crop material moves in a spiral shape and is transported along a spiral path along the inner surface of the compartment until substantially only the largest residue remains. When the residue reaches the end of the threshing drum, it is expelled out of the rear of the combine. Meanwhile, grain, threshing and other small debris fall through the hollows and rise to a cleaning device or shoe. As a reference, this smaller particulate harvest material containing the grain and straw is referred to as threshed co-harvest. The grain still needs to be separated from the straw by means of a selection process.
[006] The cleaned grain is separated from the threshed crop by means of a flat-swing cleaning system that may include a combination of swing screens (screens), a fan that blows air through / above / below the screens, and some mechanism which transports the material to be cleaned under the threshing system to the sieves. The clean grain that is separated from the residue through the sieves is typically transported to a grain tank in the combination for temporary storage. The grain tank is typically located on top of the combined tank and loaded through a conveyor that carries the clean grain collected in the cleaning system to the grain tank. The tank can then be unloaded via a transport system to a trailer or support vehicle, allowing large quantities of grain to be discharged into the field without having to stop harvesting when the grain tank fills.
[007] At the moment, the combination can be equipped with compensation mechanisms on the slope side for combination cleaning systems that provide compensation for the cleaning system when the combination undergoes a change in slope (ie harvesting on uneven ground) . In flat ground operation, the combined cleaning system moves in two-dimensional motion, shaking back and forth with some vertical component. Conventional lateral stirring mechanisms do not affect any changes in the two-dimensional movement (vertical / longitudinal) of the cleaning system on the flat floor. On sloping soil, however, the side agitation mechanisms introduce an additional side-to-side component into the agitation geometry of a sieve, causing the material to resist its natural tendency to migrate to the bottom side of the sieve and remain more evenly distributed across the width of the sieve. These side agitation mechanisms are attached to the combined chassis and do not move when the screen moves forward and backward / vertically. Due to the difference in movement between the sieve and the side agitation mechanisms, a series of connections are used to move the sieve in the side-to-side movement when the sieve moves forward and backward / vertically. Due to the connection pin on the fixed chassis, however, the sieve moves in an arc (non-linear) motion, reducing the efficiency of the side-shaking movement and requiring less desirable smaller sieves to account for the arc movement between the sieves and the side blades that include the cleaning system.
[008] US Patent Nos. 7,322,882, the description of which is incorporated herein for its teachings on the cleaning system compensation mechanisms, describes a grain cleaning side stirring mechanism that deals with the arc movement via a configuration connection, causing the sieve to move in a more desirable diagonal line. To compensate for the arc movement, the conventional link configuration requires a trigger (which moves the sieve in the side-to-side movement) to be attached to the sieve, which vibrates at a high rate with the sieve, resulting in undesirable tension. Therefore, a larger and more expensive drive is required to perform the movement side by side and deal with the vibrational stress, taking up space in the cleaning system that could be used for larger, more desirable screens. Therefore, an improved side agitation set is required for a combined cleaning system. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present invention use a Robert connection configuration to convert rotational motion to substantially linear motion.
[052] Figures 1 to 3 illustrate exemplary agricultural combinations in which the exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be implemented. Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary agricultural combination 100, which can also be referred to as a combination or reaper throughout the report. As shown in Figure 1, the combination 100 can include a combination structure 116 and a feeding system 114, which has a collector 110 and a mobile feeding mechanism 112. The mobile feeding mechanism 112 can have a position that includes an angle a with respect to a portion of the combination structure 116. The combination 100 may also include a thrusting and separating system arranged longitudinally axial 12, and a hollow 20 within the threshing and separation system 12. The threshing mechanism can also be any one of well-known construction and operation. In some embodiments, the concavity 20 can also be used with combinations that have a threshing and separation system transversely aligned in a combination.
[053] As illustrated, the threshing and separation system 12 is axially arranged, which includes a cylindrical threshing rotor 14 conventionally supported and rotating in a predetermined direction around a geometric axis of rotation through it to transport a flow of harvest material in a spiral flow path through a threshing compartment 16 that extends circumferentially around rotor 14. As illustrated, hollows 20 can extend circumferentially around rotor 14 and the flow of harvest can pass in the space between the rotation rotor and the hollows. When the harvest material flows through the threshing and separation system 12, the harvest material which includes, for example, grain, straw, vegetables, and the like, will be loosened and separated from the harvest residue or MOG (material without grain) such as, for example, husks, mud, pods, and the like, and the separated materials can be removed from the threshing and separating system 12 in a well-known conventional manner. The crop residue can be redistributed to the field using a sprayer 120, located at the rear of the harvester.
[054] The threshed harvest, which includes the grain to be collected, is then cleaned using the cleaning system. The cleaning system may include conventional selection mechanisms that include a fan 176 that blows air through a series of reciprocating sieves 172. Through the air selection action of reciprocating sieves 172, the cleaned grain can be collected and separated from the remaining tares. Harvest handling systems, which include excavators and elevators, can be used to transport the clean crop, such as grain, to a 150 grain tank and from the 150 grain tank to a grain bucket (not shown). Harvest handling systems can also transport tailings materials back to the cleaning system / threshing system via the tailings elevator 174. The cleaned grain can be transported to the grain tank 150 via an excavator that transports grain laterally. from the bottom of the cleaning system to a vertical conveyor (or elevator) that transports the grain to a cargo tube to be poured into the 150 grain tank. At the bottom of the 150 grain tank, one or more grain diggers (such as diggers) transverse) move the grain laterally from the bottom of the grain tank 150 to the vertical pipe 162 of discharge pipe 160, representing a discharge tower style system. The vertical pipe 162 may include a single discharge conveyor or several discharge conveyors, such as an excavator for driving grain to another excavator within the discharge pipe 160. The discharge pipe 160 can be rotated so that it can be rotated. extends entirely lateral to unload grain from the grain tank 150 to a support vehicle, such as a truck traveling along the side of the combined 100. The discharge tube 160 can also be oriented towards the rear for storage, as illustrated. In a rotating pin-style unloading system (not shown), the vertical tube 162 and the unloading tube 160 is replaced by a unloading excavator that is attached to one or more transverse excavators that transport grain from the cleaning system and they can rotate side by side from the combined 100, transporting grain from the combined 100.
[055] Figure 2 illustrates a transparent cross-sectional view of another agricultural combination 200 in which the exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be implemented. Combine 200 includes a grain tank 220 and a threshing system 12 for threshing harvest, such as grain. The threshed crop is then cleaned using the cleaning system 30. The surface in the cleaning system 30 separates the clean grain it collects along the bottom path of the cleaning system on the cross digger 205. The cross digger 205 moves the clean grain laterally for an elevator 210, which includes a paddle belt lifter 212. The paddle belt lifter 212, in which the paddles are evenly spaced along the belt to lift the grain, transports the grain upward to a scale. - dispenser fly 237 that unloads the grain into the 220 grain tank. In other arrangements, the grain is lifted from the paddle lifter 212 and then shaken at the top of the elevator to a reservoir, which contains the bubble-up digger The bubble-up digger transports grain from the sides of the grain tank 220 to the upper center of the tank where the grain is discharged in the center of the tank 220 to naturally form a cone-shaped pile, where the angles of the ladders those of the cone equal to the angle of rest of the grain. Other provisions implement other sets of excavators or to distribute the level grain along the bottom of the grain tank or centrally in the middle of the grain tank 220. In this arrangement of the grain tank 220, inclined side walls 222 and 224 are inclined so that when the grain accumulates in the grain tank 220 as transported from the dispenser excavators 237, the grain naturally slides down to the cross excavators 226 and 228. These side walls 222 and 224 are angled so that they are at an angle at the bottom of the tank 220 forms a “W” shaped floor bottom, as illustrated. The grain tank transverse excavators 226 and 228 transport the accumulated grain laterally so that it can be collected into the vertical pipe 262, which includes a vertical discharge conveyor 264 which pushes the grain upward. This allows the grain to be moved to an unloading vehicle through the discharge tube 260, which can include another internal discharge transport excavator and can rotate around an extension pin equal to the vertical tube 262. The volume of non-storable 270 is identified by diagonal marks in Figure 2 to show effectively unusable space between the grain tank, and the threshing system 12 due to the geometry of the sloped sides 222 and 224 that form the floor of the grain tank 220.
[056] Figure 3 illustrates another agricultural combination 300 in which the exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be implemented. The combined 300 includes an engine 370, a cab 380 and a grain tank 320. The grain tank 320 includes vertical side walls 322 and 324 and generally a flat bottom 325. Along the bottom 325 of the grain tank 320 is placed a system conveyor 330. The bottom 325 includes an active conveyor system 330 so that the grain tank 320 does not have to rely on gravity to feed grain to the cross digger. The conveyor system 330, in some modalities, transports grain collected forward in the grain tank 320 to a single transverse excavator of the grain tank 326. The transverse excavator 326 then transports the grain laterally to be collected by the vertical tube 362, which includes a vertical unloading excavator 364 to propel the grain upwards. This sends grain to a 360 discharge pipe, which may include another discharge conveyor (not shown).
[057] Figure 4 illustrates an exemplary combined combined side agitation control system 400 for use with the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, the side agitation control system 400 may include a sieve 402 for separating harvest material from other materials. The sieve 402 can be configured to move in a forward and backward direction illustrated by the arrows 404. The side shake control system 400 can include side shake set 406 and drive device 408, which is rigidly attached to a chassis of combination 706 (illustrated in Figure 7A) by a drive device mounting part 408a.
[058] Combined side agitation control systems may include side agitation sets that have different link configurations to convert rotary motion to approximate straight motion. In some embodiments, a combined side shake control system may include a side shake set 406 that has a Robert link configuration to convert rotary motion to approximate straight motion. In other embodiments, a combined side shake control system may include a side shake set 800 that has a Watt link configuration to convert rotary motion to approximate straight motion. Figure 8 is a perspective view of an exemplary side stirring assembly that illustrates a Watt connection for use with the embodiments of the present invention. Other configurations that can be used for connection to convert rotational movement to approximate straight line movement are contemplated.
[059] Referring to Figure 5A and 5B, the exemplary side agitation set 406 (illustrated in Figure 4) illustrates a Robert connection for use with the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 5 is an exploded view of the exemplary side stirring assembly 406 shown in Figure 5A. As shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the side stirring assembly 406 includes a side stirring assembly device 502 rigidly attached to a combined chassis 706 (illustrated in Figure 7A). The side stirring assembly 406 also includes a lower plate 504 and an upper plate 506 coupled to the lower plate 504. The side stirring assembly 406 also includes a first pivot arm 510 coupled to the lower plate 504 in a first plate pivoting part. lower 504a and coupled to the upper plate 506 in a first upper plate hinge part 506a. The side stirring assembly 406 also includes a second articulation arm 512 coupled to the lower plate 504 in a second lower plate articulation part 504b spaced from the first lower plate articulation part 504a and coupled to the upper plate 506 in a second upper plate hinge part 506b spaced from the first upper plate hinge part 506a. The side stirring assembly 406 may also include a fixed arm 508 rotatably coupled to the top plate 506 and rigidly attached to the sieve 403 (as shown in Figure 7A). The fixed arm 508 can also include a fixed arm mounting part 508a to rigidly fix the fixed arm 508 to the sieve 402. The side stirring assembly 406 can also include a support device 514 fixed rigidly to both the fixed arm 508 and to the top plate 506. In some embodiments, the fixed arm 508 and the support device 514 can be separate components that are not included as part of the side stirring assembly 406.
[060] When the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the non-coupling position, the side-by-side component of the sieve 402 is not coupled. When the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the coupling position, the side-by-side component of the sieve 402 is coupled. Figures 6A to 7C illustrate relative movements of elements of the exemplary side stirring assembly 406, the drive device 408 and the sieve 402 shown in Figure 4 during a non-coupling position and first and second coupling positions. Figure 6A is a top view of the device of drive 408 and side stirring assembly 406 in a non-coupling position. Figure 7A is a schematic diagram illustrating the sieve 402, the drive device 408 and the side stirring assembly 406 in a non-coupling position and a controller 712. Figure 6B is a top view of the drive device 408 and the side stirring assembly 406 in a coupling position. Figure 7B is a schematic diagram illustrating the sieve 402, the drive device 408 and the side stirring assembly 406 in a coupling position.
[061] As shown in Figure 6A, the drive device 408 can include fasteners 408c and a drive device mounting part 408a. The drive device mounting part 408a can be used to rigidly secure the drive device 408 to the chassis of the combined 706 (illustrated in Figure 7A). It is contemplated that an exemplary drive device can be attached directly to the chassis or can be attached to the chassis using an assembly part that has a different size and shape. The drive device 408 is coupled to the bottom plate 504 in a drive coupling part 504c (illustrated in Figure 7A).
[062] The upper plate 506 can be configured to have a substantially linear upper plate movement in a substantially linear direction. For example, as shown in Figures 6A and 7A, when the drive device movement part 408b in the position shown in Figure 6A and Figure 7A, the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in a non-coupling position. In addition, as shown in Figure 7A, when the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the non-coupling position, the top plate 506 is configured to have a substantially linear non-coupling movement in the longitudinal direction, illustrated by arrows 514. The sieve 402 can be controlled to remain fixed or to move in the forward and backward direction 514, when the lower plate 504 and the upper plate 506 are in the non-coupling position. The forward and backward movement 514 can be controlled by a drive device other than drive device 408. When the screen 402 moves in the forward and backward direction 514, the fixed arm 508 can be configured so that the movement forwards and backwards 514 of the sieve 402 is in the substantially linear direction 514 of the movement of the upper plate.
[063] The BE line in Figure 7A represents the first hinge arm 510 (shown in Figure 5B) coupled to the lower plate 504 in a first lower plate hinge part 504a (point E) and coupled to the upper plate 506 in a first upper plate articulation part 506a (point B). Line C-DCEN in Figure 7A represents the second articulation arm 512 (shown in Figure 5B) coupled to the lower plate 504 in a second lower plate articulation part 504b (DCEN point) and coupled to the upper plate 506 in a second part upper plate hinge 506b (point C). Line B-C extends between the first upper plate hinge part 506a (point B) and the second upper plate hinge part 506b (point C). As shown in Figure 7A, when the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 is controlled to move in the substantially linear direction 514 of the substantially linear movement of the top plate which is substantially parallel to the BC line extending between the first upper plate hinge part 506a and the second upper plate hinge part 506b.
[064] According to some exemplary embodiments, the bottom plate 504 can be rotatably coupled to the mounting device 502 and configured to rotate around a geometric axis of the bottom plate 502a. The drive device 408 can be configured to rotate the bottom plate 504 around the geometric axis of the bottom plate 502. For example, as shown in Figures 6B and 7B, when the movement part of the drive device 408b retracts, as indicated by arrows 408c from the position shown in Figure 6A and Figure 7A, the bottom plate 504, which is coupled to the mounting device 502, rotates, indicated by the arrows 702, with respect to the mounting device 502 around the geometric axis of the plate bottom 502a (shown in Figure 4) for a coupling position. The bottom plate 506 can be configured to rotate the top plate and rotate (also indicated by arrows 702) responsive to the rotation of the bottom plate 504.
[065] The bottom plate 506 may also have a coupling movement in a substantially linear direction 704 different from the substantially linear non-coupling direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 6A and Figure 7A). Regarding the rotation of the lower plate 504, the sieve is controlled to move diagonally 704 towards the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A) in the substantially linear direction 704 of the coupling movement of the upper plate. For example, responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 504, the fixed bar 508 is configured so that the sieve moves diagonally 704 to the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A). That is, the sieve 402 also moves in the substantially linear direction 704 of the coupling movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 506 is rotated to a coupling position. In addition, as in the case of the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 moves in the corresponding substantially linear direction of movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 506 is in its respective position. That is, when the upper plate 506 is rotated to a coupling position, the sieve 402 moves in the substantially linear direction 704 of the movement of the upper plate which is substantially parallel to the line BC extending between the first upper plate hinge part. 506a and the second upper plate hinge part 506b. Therefore, a component is added side by side to the component back and forth to move the sieve 402 diagonally 704 to the forward and backward direction 514 (shown in Figure 7A) in the substantially linear direction 704 of the plate coupling movement. higher. In the modalities described here, substantially linear can be indicated by the deviation of the sieve from the center as a function of the forward and backward movement of the sieve. For example, substantially linear motion indicates that the motion may not deviate more than 2.5% from a straight linear motion. That is, if the sieve 402 moves 100 mm in the longitudinal direction, indicated by the arrows 514, the sieve remains substantially linear if the sieve 403 does not move more than 2.5 mm from the longitudinal direction line.
[066] In some exemplary embodiments, an example 406 lateral stirring assembly may include a first coupling position and a second coupling position. For example, the top plate 506 and the bottom plate 504 can rotate to the first coupling position described above and illustrated in Figure 6B and 7B. The top plate 506 and the bottom plate 504 can also rotate to a second coupling position in Figure 7C. For example, when the movement portion of drive device 408b expands, as indicated by arrows 408d, from the position shown in Figure 6A and Figure 7A, the bottom plate 504 rotates in the direction indicated by arrows 708 with respect to the assembly 502 around the geometric axis of the bottom plate 502a (shown in Figure 4) for the second coupling position shown in Figure 7C. The upper plate 506, which can be configured to rotate the upper plate, rotates (also indicated by arrows 708) responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 504.
[067] The upper plate 506 may also have a second coupling movement in a substantially linear direction 710 different from the first substantially linear coupling direction 704 (illustrated in Figure 7B) when the upper plate 506 rotates to the first coupling position. Responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 504, the sieve 402 is controlled to move diagonally towards the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A) in the second substantially linear coupling direction 710 of the movement of the upper plate when the lower plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the second coupling position shown in Figure 7C. For example, responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 504, the fixed bar 508 is configured so that the sieve 402 moves diagonally to the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A). That is, the screen 402 also moves in the substantially linear direction 710 of the upper plate coupling movement when the upper plate 506 is rotated to the second coupling position. In addition, as in the case of the non-coupling position and the first coupling position, the sieve 402 moves in the corresponding substantially linear direction of movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 506 is in its respective position. That is, when the upper plate 506 is rotated to the second coupling position, the sieve 402 moves in the substantially linear direction 710 of the movement of the upper plate which is substantially parallel to the line BC extending between the first plate hinge part upper 506a and the second upper plate hinge part 506b.
[068] As described above, exemplary combined side agitation control systems can include side agitation sets that have different link configurations to convert rotary motion to approximate straight line motion. Figure 8 is a perspective view of an exemplary side stirring assembly 800 illustrating a Watt connection for use with the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 8, the side stirring assembly 800 includes a lower plate 804w and an upper plate 806 coupled to the lower plate 804. The lower plate 804 can be rotatably coupled to a mounting device, such as mounting device 502 ( shown in Figure 5B), which is rigidly attached to a combined chassis 706 (shown in Figure 9A). The side stirring assembly 800 also includes a first hinge arm 810 coupled to the lower plate hinge 804 on a first lower plate hinge part 804a and coupled to the upper plate 806 on a first upper plate hinge part 806a. The side stirring assembly 800 also includes a second articulation arm 812 coupled to the lower plate joint 804 in a second lower plate joint part 804b spaced from the first lower plate joint part 804a and coupled to the upper plate 806 in a second part of upper plate joint 806b spaced from the first upper plate joint part 806a. The side stirring assembly 800 also includes a fixed arm 808 rotatably coupled to the top plate 806 and rigidly attached to the sieve 402. The fixed arm 808 can also include a fixed arm mounting part, such as the fixed arm mounting part 508a for rigidly fixing the fixed arm 808 to the sieve 403. In some embodiments, the fixed arm 808 and the fixed arm mounting part 508a can be separate components that are not included as part of the side stirring assembly 406.
[069] When the bottom plate 804 and the top plate are in the non-coupling position, the component side by side of the sieve is not coupled. When the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the coupling position, the component side by side of the sieve is coupled. Figures 9A to 9C illustrate real movements of elements of the exemplary side stirring assembly 800, the drive device 408 and the sieve 402 during a non-coupling position and first and second coupling positions. Figure 9A is a schematic diagram illustrating the sieve 402, the drive device 408 and the side stirring assembly 800 in a non-coupling position.
[070] As shown in Figure 9A, the upper plate 804 can be configured to have a substantially linear upper plate movement in a substantially linear direction 814. For example, when the mounting portion of the drive device 408b is in the position illustrated in Figure 9A, the bottom plate 804 and the top plate 806 are in a non-coupling position. In addition, when the bottom plate 804 and the top plate 806 are in the non-coupling position, the upper plate 806 is configured to have a non-coupling movement in a substantially linear non-coupling direction 814. The sieve 402 can be controlled to remain fixed or move in a substantially linear direction of non-coupling 814, as illustrated by arrows 814 on sieve 402, when the bottom plate 502 (shown in Figure 5B) and the upper plate 804 are in the non-coupling position. When the screen 402 moves in the forward and backward direction 814, the fixed arm 808 can be configured so that the forward and backward movement 814 of the screen 402 is in the substantially linear direction 814 of the movement of the top plate.
[071] The BE line in Figure 9A represents the first articulation arm 810 (illustrated in Figure 8) coupled to the lower plate 804 in a first lower plate articulation part 804a (point E) and coupled to the upper plate 906 in a first upper plate articulation part 806a (point B). The CD line in Figure 9A represents the second articulation arm 812 (shown in Figure 8) coupled to the lower plate 804 in the second lower plate articulation part 804b (DCEN point) and coupled to the upper plate 806 in a second articulation part of upper plate 806b (point C). Line B-C extends between the first upper plate hinge part 806a (point B) and the second upper plate hinge part 806b (point C). As shown in Figure 9A, when the bottom plate 804 and the top plate 806 are in the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 is controlled to move in the substantially linear direction 814 of the substantially linear movement of the top plate which is substantially perpendicular to the first arm hinge 810 and the second hinge arm 812.
[072] According to some exemplary embodiments, the side stirring assembly 800 that has a Watt connection can include a first coupling position. Figure 9B is a schematic diagram illustrating the sieve 402, the drive device 408 and a side stirring assembly 800 in a first coupling position. As shown in Figure 9B, the bottom plate 804 can be rotatably coupled to the mounting device 502 and configured to rotate around a geometric axis of the bottom plate (not shown) at point F. The drive device 408 can be configured to rotate the lower plate 804 around the geometric axis of the lower plate. When the movement part of the drive device 408b retracts (indicated by the arrow 408c) from the position shown in Figure 9A, the bottom plate 804, which is coupled to the mounting device 502, rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow 902 with respect to the device mounting screws 502 around the geometric axis of the bottom plate to a coupling position. The upper plate 806 can be configured to rotate the upper plate and rotate (also indicated by arrows 902) responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 804.
[073] The upper plate 806 can also be provided with a coupling movement in a substantially linear direction 904 different from the substantially linear direction of non-coupling 814 (illustrated in Figure 8). Responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 804, the sieve 402 is controlled to move diagonally towards the forward and backward direction 814 (illustrated in Figure 7A) in the substantially linear direction 904 of the coupling movement of the upper plate. For example, responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 804, the fixed bar 808 is configured so that the sieve 402 moves diagonally to the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 9A). That is, the screen 402 also moves in the substantially linear direction 904 of the coupling movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 806 is rotated to a coupling position. Furthermore, as in the case in the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 moves in the corresponding substantially linear direction of movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 806 is in its respective position. That is, when the upper plate 806 is rotated to the first coupling position illustrated in Figure 9B, the sieve moves in the substantially linear direction 904 of the movement of the upper plate which is substantially perpendicular to the first hinge arm 810 and the second articulation 812.
[074] According to some exemplary embodiments, the side stirring assembly 800 having a Watt connection configuration may include a second coupling position. Figure 9C is a schematic diagram showing the sieve 402, the drive device 408 and the side stirring assembly 800 in a second coupling position. As shown in Figure 9C, the upper plate 806 and the lower plate 804 also rotate to a second coupling position, different from the first coupling position described above and illustrated in figure 9B. For example, when the movement part of the drive device 408b expands, as indicated by the arrow 408d, from the position shown in Figure 9A, the bottom plate 804 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrows 908 with respect to the mounting device 502 around the geometric axis of the lower plate (at point A Figure) to the second coupling position shown in Figure 9C. the upper plate 806, which can be configured to rotate the upper plate, rotates (also indicated by the arrows 908) corresponding to the rotation of the lower plate 804.
[075] The upper plate 806 can also be provided with a second coupling movement in a substantially linear direction 910 different from the first substantially linear direction of coupling 904 (illustrated in Figure 9B) when the upper plate 806 rotates to the first coupling position . Regarding the rotation of the lower plate 804, the sieve 402 is controlled to move diagonally to the forward and backward direction 814 (shown in Figure 9A) and to move in the second substantially linear coupling direction 910 of the plate movement upper when lower plate 804 and upper plate 806 are in the second coupling position illustrated in Figure 9C. For example, responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 804, the fixed bar 808 is configured so that the sieve 402 moves diagonally to the forward and backward direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A). That is, the sieve 402 also moves in the substantially linear direction 910 of the coupling movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 806 is rotated to the second coupling position. In addition, as in the case of the non-coupling position and the first coupling position, the screen 402 moves in the corresponding substantially linear direction of movement of the upper plate when the upper plate 806 is in its respective position. That is, when the upper plate 806 rotates to the second coupling position illustrated in Figure 9C, the sieve 402 moves in the substantially linear direction 910 of the movement of the upper plate which is substantially perpendicular to the first articulation arm 810 and the second articulation 812.
[076] Although the drive device illustrated in the exemplary modalities described above is a linear drive, an exemplary drive device can, for example, include an electric drive, a hydraulic drive, a pneumatic drive and a motor. For example, as illustrated in Figure 7D and Figure 9D, an exemplary lateral agitation control system 700, 900 can include a motor 720 configured to rotate a lower plate 904, around a lower plate geometric axis.
[077] Referring to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 7D, the side stirring control system 700 may include a side stirring assembly 730 that has a Robert connection configuration. The side stirring assembly 730 may include a lower plate 904 having lower plate teeth 904a. The side stirring assembly 730 may also include other elements that are described above with reference to Figure 5A and Figure 5B. The side shake control system 700 can also include a motor 720. As illustrated, motor 720 can be rigidly attached to the combined chassis 706 and coupled to bottom plate 904. Motor 720 can be configured to rotate bottom plate 904 by around a geometric axis of the bottom plate (at point A Figure). For example, motor 720 may include a moving part 720b that has a plurality of motor teeth 720c that is configured to couple with the teeth of the lower plate 904a to rotate the lower plate 904 around a geometric axis of the lower plate at the point F. when the motor movement part 720b rotates in the direction indicated by the arrows 722 around the motor axis 724, the lower plate 904, which can be coupled to the mounting device 502, rotates in the direction indicated by the arrows 726, with relative to the mounting device 502 around the geometric axis of the lower plate at point A Figure for the first and second coupling positions. The upper plate 506 can also rotate in the direction indicated by arrows 726 responsible for the rotation of the lower plate 904. Responsive to the rotation of the lower plate 904 and the upper plate 506, the sieve 402 can be controlled to move diagonally in the direction to back and forth 514 in the corresponding substantially linear directions 704 and 710 of the upper plate coupling movement when the upper plate 506 is in its respective first and second coupling positions.
[078] Referring to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 9D, the side stirring control system 900 may include a side stirring assembly 930 that has a Watt connection configuration. The side stirring assembly 930 may also include lower plate 904 which has lower hinge plate teeth 904a. The side stirring assembly 730 may also include other elements that are described above with reference to figure 8. The side stirring control system 700 may also include a motor 720. Responsible for the rotation of the lower plate 904 and the upper plate 506, a sieve 402 can be controlled to move diagonally to the forward and backward direction 814 in the substantially linear directions 904 and 910 of the top plate coupling movement when the top plate 806 is in its respective first and second coupling positions.
[079] According to some exemplary embodiments, a side shake control system, such as the side shake control system 760 in Figure 7E and the side shake control system 960 in Figure 9E, can include a first set of side stirring 740, 940 and a second side stirring set 750, 950. Figure 7E is a schematic diagram of an exemplary side stirring control system 760 illustrating sieve 402, drive device 408, a first stirring set side 740 which has a Robert connection configuration and a second side stirring set 750 which has a Robert connection configuration. Figure 9E is a schematic diagram of an exemplary lateral agitation control system 960 illustrating sieve 402, the drive device 408, a first lateral agitation set 940 having a Robert connection configuration and a second agitation set side 950 which has a Watt connection configuration.
[080] As shown in Figures 7E and 9E, the first side stirring assembly 740, 940 may include a first mounting device 742, 752 rigidly coupled to the combined 706 chassis and a first lower plate 744, 944 rotatably coupled to the first device mounting brackets 742, 752 and configured to rotate around a first geometric axis of the lower plate at point X. The first side stirring assembly 740, 940 may also include a first upper plate 746, 946 coupled to the first lower plate 744, 944 and configured to rotate responsive to the rotation of the first lower plate 744, 944 and configured to have first upper plate of substantially linear movement in the substantially linear direction 514 (illustrated in Figure 7A) and 814 (illustrated in Figure 9A). The first side stirring set 740, 940 may also include a first fixed arm 748, 948 coupled between the first top plate 944 and the sieve 402. The second side stirring set 750, 950 may include a second mounting device 752, 952 rigidly coupled to the chassis of the combined 706 and a second lower plate 754, 954 rotatably coupled to the second mounting device 752, 952 and configured to rotate around a second geometric axis of the lower plate at point Y. The second side stirring assembly 750 .950 may also include a second upper plate 756, 956 coupled to the second lower plate 754, 964 and configured to rotate responsive to the rotation of the second lower plate 754, 964 and configured to have second substantially linear movement of the upper plate in the substantially linear direction 514 (shown in Figure 7A) and 814 (shown in Figure 9A). The second side stirring assembly 750, 950 may further include a second fixed arm 758, 958 coupled between the second upper plate 756, 956 and the sieve 402.
[081] According to an aspect of the modalities illustrated in Figures 7E and 9E, a side agitation control system 760, 960 may also include a mounting device 760 coupled to the first lower plate 744, 944, the second lower plate 754, 954e to the drive device 408 and configured to rotate the first lower plate 744, 944 and the second lower plate 754, 794. The drive device can be configured to rotate the first lower plate 744, 944 and the second lower plate 754, 954 moving the movement device 760. It is contemplated that a first drive device can be configured to rotate the first lower plate 744, 944 and a second drive device can be configured to rotate the second lower plate 754, 794.
[082] According to some modalities, a controller 712 can receive an instruction to take the drive device 408, 720 to rotate the bottom plate 504, 804, 904, 944, 954 to a non-coupling position, a first position of coupling and a second coupling position. Controller 712 can receive an instruction from a combined operator. The instructions can also be based on the perceived operating conditions of the combination from the sensors (not shown). The controller 712 can be configured to control the sieve 402 to move in the forward and backward direction 514, 814 causing the drive device 408 to rotate the bottom plate 504, 804, 904, 944, 954 to a non-coupled position. The forward and backward direction 514, 814 of the screen 402 can also be directly controlled by the controller 712 (for example, controlling another drive device coupled to the screen). The forward and backward direction 514, 814 of sieve 402 can also be controlled by another controller (not shown) other than controller 712. Controller 712 can also be configured to move sieve 402 diagonally to the forward and backward direction 514 .814 in the substantially linear direction of the upper plate cleaning system movement causing the drive device 408 to rotate the lower plate 504, 804, 904, 944, 954 to the first and second non-coupling positions. It is also contemplated that an exemplary side stirring mechanism may include more than two coupling positions and that controller 712 may receive an instruction to cause the drive device 408, 720 to rotate the bottom plate 504, 804, 904, 944 954 for more than two coupling positions.
[083] Figure 10 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary method for controlling the movement of a 402 sieve in a combined 100, 200, 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. As illustrated in block 1002, the method includes carrying, by a drive device attached to the chassis of the combined, a lower plate to rotate around a geometric axis of the lower plate. For example, in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in Figure 7A to 7C, the drive device 408, which is attached to the chassis of the combined 706, can cause the bottom plate 504 to rotate around the geometric axis of the bottom plate 502a. The controller 712 can receive an instruction to take the drive device 408 to rotate the bottom plate 504. In the exemplary embodiments illustrated in Figure 9A to 9C, the drive device 408, which is attached to the chassis of the combined 706, can take the plate lower plate 804 to rotate around the geometric axis of the lower hinge plate at point F. Therefore, the lower plate 504 can be caused to rotate between a non-coupling position, a first coupling position and a second coupling position.
[084] As illustrated in blocks 1002a, 1002b and 1002c, the method includes rotating, responsive to the rotation of the lower plate, an upper plate between a non-coupling position, a first coupling position and a second coupling position. For example, in the exemplary embodiments shown in Figures 7A to 7C, the bottom plate and the top plate can be rotated between a non-coupling position on block 1102a, a first coupling position on block 1002b and a second coupling position on block 1002c . It is contemplated that the top plate 506 may be standard for the non-coupling position when the side stirring assembly is uncoupled. In that case, the top plate 506 can be controlled to remain in the non-coupling position shown in Figure 7A. It is also contemplated that the upper plate 506 can be rotated to the non-coupling position from the first coupling position or the second coupling position. In the non-coupling position illustrated in Figure 7A, the top plate 506 can have a substantially linear movement in a substantially linear direction of non-coupling 514. In the first coupling position illustrated in Figure 7B, the upper plate 506 can have a substantially linear movement in a first substantially linear direction 704. In the second coupling position shown in Figure 7C, the top plate 506 can have a substantially linear movement in a second substantially linear direction 710.
[085] As illustrated in block 1004a, the method includes controlling the sieve to maintain a fixed position or moving the sieve in the forward and backward direction when the lower plate and the upper plate are in the non-coupling position. For example, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figure 7A, when the sieve 402 is not moving and when the bottom plate 504 and the upper plate 506 are in the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 can be controlled to maintain a fixed position. When the sieve 402 is in the forward and backward direction 514 and when the bottom plate 504 and the upper plate 506 are in the non-coupling position, the sieve 402 can be controlled to move in the forward and backward direction 514.
[086] As illustrated in block 1004b, the method includes controlling the sieve to move diagonally in the forward and backward direction in a first substantially linear direction of coupling the movement of the upper plate when the lower plate and the upper plate are in the first coupling position. For example, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figure 7B, when the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the first coupling position, the sieve 402 can be controlled to move diagonally in the forward and backward direction 514 in a first substantially linear coupling direction 704 of movement of the top plate.
[087] As illustrated in block 1004c, the method includes controlling the sieve to move diagonally in the forward and backward direction in a second substantially linear direction of coupling the movement of the upper plate when the lower plate and the upper plate are in the second coupling position. For example, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figure 7C, when the bottom plate 504 and the top plate 506 are in the second coupling position, the sieve 402 can be controlled to move diagonally in the forward and backward direction 514 in a second substantially linear direction of coupling 710 of movement of the upper plate.
[088] Although the invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments, it is not limited to them. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiments of the invention and that such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the true spirit of the invention. Therefore, the appended claims must be considered to cover all such equivalent variations as they relate to the true spirit and scope of the invention.
