BINDING DEVICE FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTING MACHINE AND AGRICULTURAL HARVESTING MACHINE WITH SUCH A BINDING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a binding device for an agricultural crop press, with a drive unit for driving the binding device, and with a working unit for processing crops, which from a coupled state in which it is coupled to the drive unit, so that it is driven, in an uncoupled state can be switched, in which it is not coupled to the drive unit so that it is not driven, the working unit comprising a pawl and the drive unit comprising a coupling device with which the working unit and the drive unit can be operatively connected, and the coupling device interacts in the coupled state of the working unit with the pawl, the drive unit having an electromagnetically acting switching means, which can be reversibly switched from an inactive state to an active state, and which is set up to effectively connect the clutch to trigger or terminate the device with the pawl. The present invention further relates to an agricultural crop press, in particular a square baler, with such a binding device.
