DISTRIBUTION AUGERS FOR AN AXIAL FLOW COMBINE

摘要

DISTRIBUTION AUGERS FOR AN AXIAL FLOW COMBINEABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREThe threshing cylinder and the surrounding screenedcage of an axial flow combine are transversely mounted on thecombine and are of a greater axial length than the width of thecleaning section. Threshed material passing through theopenings in the cage screen is distributed to a feeding slotabove the cleaning section by distribution augers. An overfeedauger is positioned over the inlet to the cage so as to conveythreshed material passing through the cylinder cage in the areaabove the feeder mechanism to a point alongside the feedermechanism where it is discharged onto a wall sloping to adistribution auger. A pair of distribution augers serve tomove threshed material from the bottom of the cage housingwhich extends laterally beyond the cleaning section laterallyinwardly to the feeding slot. The distribution augers havespiraled flights and paddles so pitched and positioned as toobtain a relatively even transverse distribution of thethreshed material to the accelerator rolls and thence to thecleaning shoe assembly disposed below the screened cage andthreshing cylinder.
