Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a combine sun visor device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent combiners, in order to achieve comfortable driving, many small and medium-sized models are equipped with a sun visor (shading plate) for covering the upper part of a seat.
Generally, the sun visor has a structure in which a support is provided near a seat and the sun visor is supported by the support, but since the sun visor has a considerable weight, its mounting location is problematic.

[0003] Since a space for an operator is required in front of the seat and a Glen tank is approaching behind the seat, normally, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2527430, the rear of the seat is usually used. The column is attached to the Glen tank. However, in this case, when the Glen tank is rotated, the sun visor also moves, which is not preferable.

[0004]

On the other hand, recently, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-056244, there is a type in which a Glen tank is made of resin. However, since the resin is weak in strength, a heavy sun visor cannot be attached thereto. In particular, post-installation work, such as making a screw hole in the Glen tank once blow-molded and screwing a pillar into it, cannot be achieved at all.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an appropriate mounting place cannot be found around the seat.
Moreover, the sun visor can be attached even if a resin Glen tank is used.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Under the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a combine, in which an engine is provided on one side of an airframe, a seat is provided on an engine cover for covering the engine, and a Glen tank is provided behind the engine and the seat. A rear visor is positioned forward of the rear end of the engine cover to secure a space between them, a base is mounted on the engine cover in this space, a support is raised from the base, and a sun visor that covers the seat above the support is installed on the support. The present invention provides a combined sun visor device characterized by being attached.

By taking the above measures, the support of the sun visor can be provided on the engine cover separate from the Glen tank, and in a small space formed between the seat and the Glen tank. The mounting position of the support column of the sun visor that covers the upper part of the seat is an ideal place where the position is fixed. Further, since the support is provided on the engine cover, a short one is sufficient, and a heavy one can be avoided.

The present invention also provides a means for projecting a portion above the base in front of the above-mentioned Glen tank so as not to interfere with the column. By this means, the capacity of the Glen tank can be increased without interfering with the support and operation.

Further, the present invention provides a means in which an air cleaner is arranged on the engine cover in the above space, and a base is attached to the cover covering the air cleaner. By this means, a suitable installation location of the air cleaner can be secured.

In addition, according to the present invention, one side of the above-mentioned column and the engine cover are connected by a detachable stay, and the other side of the column and the fryer cylinder attached to the Glen tank are connected by a stay. Provide articulated means. By this means, the fixing of the columns is performed in a distributed manner, so that the strength of the base and the fixing of the columns to the base are not so required. At this point, it is permitted to attach the base to the cover of the air cleaner.

In addition, the present invention comprises a U-shaped lower support extending laterally on the base, and an inverted U-shaped upper support connected to the lower support and having a sun visor attached to an upper end thereof. Means, wherein the upper strut is rotatably connected to the lower strut rearward and the sun visor is attached to the upper strut so as to be tiltable up and down. By these means, the mounting of the strut becomes easy, and the angle adjustment corresponding to the sunshine of the sun visor and the storage in the low ceiling storage are also possible.

Further, the present invention provides a means in which the above-mentioned Glen tank is made of resin. Since the strut is not attached to the Glen tank itself, there is no need to worry about its low strength.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a combine to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a partial front view, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of a main part, and FIG. 4 is a partial side view. A pre-processing unit 14 is disposed at the front of the chassis 12 on which the steering column 16, the engine 18, and the Glen tank 20 are arranged on one side of the chassis 12 from the front.
And a normal structure in which a threshing unit (not shown) and a post-processing unit 22 are provided on the other side.

In this case, the upper part and one side of the engine 18 are covered with an engine cover 24, on which a seat 26 on which a pilot sits is provided. In addition, an upper grain cylinder 28 for graining the inner grains is provided at the rear of the Glen tank 20.
Is attached to the upper grain cylinder 28, and a discharge cylinder 30 is connected to the upper grain cylinder 28 in the horizontal direction. Between the threshing unit and the Glen tank 20, a threshing cylinder 32 for sending the grain threshed in the threshing unit to the Glen tank 20 is also provided.

In this configuration, each member is integrated as much as possible to improve the efficiency of the entire installation space. The Glen tank 20 is no exception, and is disposed immediately after the engine 18 and the engine cover 24. But,
The rear end of the seat 26 is located forward of the rear end of the engine cover 24, and a slight space 34 is secured here. The upper portion of the front surface of the Glen tank 20 projects forward so as not to interfere with the seat 26 and the operator sitting on the seat 26 to secure a required volume.

According to the present invention, a base 36 is mounted on the engine cover 24 in the space 34, a support 38 is erected from the base 36, and a sun visor 40 is mounted on the support 38. The base 36 and the pillars 38 may have any shape and structure as long as they meet this purpose. In the present invention, the followings are adopted as preferred examples.

First, the base 36 is a cubic box, and is fixed on the engine cover 24 by screws or the like. Next, the column 38 is configured by connecting a U-shaped lower column 42 and an inverted U-shaped upper column 44. The lower support 42 has a mounting bracket 46 formed on the upper surface of the base 36 so as to sandwich the lower support 42 from front and rear.

Side plates 48 are respectively applied to the upper ends of the vertical portions of the lower support columns 42 on the left and right sides. The lower ends of the vertical portions of the upper support columns 44 are fitted between the side plates 48, and pins 50 are stopped between the side plates 48. Therefore, the upper support 44 is
It can be rotated back and forth around 0, but in order to fix it, it is screwed from the side plate 48 through the knob screw 52 into the upper support 44. When the upper support 44 is rotated,
The knob screw 52 also rotates around the pin 50, but in order to allow this, an arc groove 54 is formed in the side plate 48 to set the rotation range. However, the upper support 44 can rotate only to the rear side of the lower support 42.

A bracket 56 is also attached to the upper end of the upper support 44, the rear end of the sun visor 40 is inserted between the brackets 56, and a pin 58 is fixed to the bracket 56 and the sun visor 40. At this time, the mounting angle of the sun visor 40 with respect to the upper support 44 can be changed up and down. Specifically, several holes 60 are made in the bracket 56, and a pin 62 that is inserted into the sun visor 40 is inserted into and removed from the holes 60 to perform angle adjustment and positioning.
Note that the sun visor 40 itself is formed of a plate-like member that covers the upper part of the seat 26, and its height is set so that it cannot be held on the head even when the operator stands up.

As described above, the sun visor 40, that is, the column 38 is not attached to the Glen tank 20, and
The sun visor 40 can be provided without interfering with the seat 26 and the operator. However, the vertical angle of the sun visor 40 can be tilted in accordance with the direction of the sunshine and the like, so that the usefulness is high. In addition, since the upper support 44 can be fully rotated toward the Glen tank 20 and the sun visor 40 can be folded most (FIG. 4), it can be stored in a storage space with a low ceiling.

In this case, the width of the column 38 is
Making the width wider than 0 can increase the backward rotation. Therefore, the fixing of the column 38 to the base 36 may not be sufficient. Therefore, in order to supplement this, the structure described below is adopted. First, support 38 (lower support 42)
On one side, the lower support 42 and the engine cover 24 are connected by a stay 64.

That is, the lower end of the stay 64 is pivotally connected to a pin 66 projecting from the side surface of the engine cover 24, and the upper end is fixed to the lower support by the knob screw 68. By doing so, when the knob screw 68 is removed, the stay 64 can rotate around the pin 66. This structure is provided to cope with tilting the engine cover 24 to the side for maintenance or the like.

Next, on the other side of the lower support 42, the side plate 4
8 and the like, the stay 70 is extended backward, and the rear end of the stay 70 is fixed to the input port 72 or the like at the upper end of the frying cylinder 32 using a screw 74 or the like. This is possible because the inlet 72 of the fryer 32 is made of metal. By the way, the Glen tank 20 is configured to be able to rotate in a plane around the upper grain cylinder 28, but the stay 70 may be kept as it is during this rotation.

The fixing of the lower support 42 to the base 36 is supplemented by the two stays 64, 70. Therefore,
The strength of the base 36 and the fixing of the lower support 42 to the base 36 may not be so strong. This is very effective when the following measures are taken.

That is, if the air cleaner 76 of the engine 18 is installed in the space 34 where the base 36 is installed, the space can be effectively used. Therefore, an air cleaner 76 covered with a cover 78 is installed in the space 34, and the base 36 described above is attached to the cover 78. In this case, the base 36 has a cup shape that can be put on the cover 78, and a very strong base cannot be expected. However, according to the structure described above, this is sufficient.

By the way, even if the above-mentioned Glen tank 20 is made of resin, there is no problem at all. This is because the columns 38 and the like are not attached to the Glen tank 20. Further, there is a type in which a hopper for bagging grains is provided in place of the Glen tank 20, but the present invention can be applied to such a type.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the supporting column for mounting the sun visor can be provided on the engine cover separate from the resin Glen tank and immediately after the seat. , And the sun visor was able to be set in a predetermined position. In this case, since the column is provided on the engine cover, a low-length one is sufficient and the weight is not so heavy. Thus, such a sun visor can be attached later if the rear end of the seat is located forward of the rear end of the engine cover and a space is secured here.
