Abstract: PURPOSE:To select stem culms at normal row intervals even in stem culms not in normal row intervals of stem culm lines in the lateral width direction of a machine body and to properly control steering based on the introduced position information. CONSTITUTION:Detecting means S1 and S2 for discovering introduction position of stem culms in the lateral width direction of a machine body, guided to a reaping and treating part 3, consist of plural sensors S1 and S2 for detecting introduction positions at different positions in the lateral width direction of the machine body. A steering control means 100 for maintaining the introduction position at a proper set position based on the detected information of the introduction position detecting means S1 and S2 obtains an average value of the detected values of the plural sensors S1 and S2 and controls steering based on the average value as a stem culm introduction position.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To surely detect divergence in the case of inclination of a machine body to an uncut side and occurrence of horizontal divergence. CONSTITUTION:A pair of right and left sensor bars 10 for detecting position of stem and culm, in the width direction, to be introduced between plural separating tools 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D attached to the rear side of a cutting and treating part 3 at the front of a machine body, are set at the rear of a specific tool 4B of the separating tools in a state wherein a pivoting part at the tip is positioned closer to an uncut side than to an imaginary extended line along the longitudinal direction of the machine body passing the tip in the specific separating tool 4B and in a state wherein the tip is pivoted on a position at the rear of the specific separating tool 4B and forced to return to the front of the machine body. A discriminating means 100 for judging horizontal divergence of stem and culm from a set proper state based on detected information of detecting means R1 and R2 for discovering a rocking angle of each sensor recognizes a state of a rocking angle of the sensor bar at the uncut side to the rear side larger than a rocking angle of the sensor bar at the cut side to the rear side between a pair of the sensor bars 10 as a set proper state and judges the horizontal divergence.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve follow-up properties when the layer thickness of substances to be treated is changed by regulating the throughput of a grader based on the layer thickness and its rate of change. CONSTITUTION:The throughput of a grader is automatically regulated so as to maintain the layer thickness of substances to be treated on a shaking and grading plate 19 of a grader (B) within a proper range. Manipulated variables for regulating the throughput of the grader are determined based on the layer thickness and its rate of change according to a fuzzy inference, etc., to drive a sieve motor and a fan mill motor.

CONSTITUTION:Position alternation units 11-14 for vertical displacement of a conveyor 8 on the way of conveyance passage conveying harvested grains and culms to a thresher and a controller (H) for controlling the threshing depth of grains and culms in the thresher by controlling the position alternation units 11-14 are provided. A lowest limit sensor (LS2) for detecting the lowest position of the conveyor 8 is equipped and the controller (H) can control the above- mentioned position alternation units 11-14 so that the above-mentioned conveyor 8 may be raised by a set distance following detection of the lowest limit position.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To justify the throughput capacity even when the amount of crops to be treated is unknown by controlling the throughput capacity of a grader corresponding to the supply of grains and culms to a threshing chamber if a value detected by a unit for detecting the amount of crops to be treated on a vibration-grading plate isw beyond the prescribed limits. CONSTITUTION:When the amount of crops to be treated is unknown, e.g. due to trouble in a unit (S1) for detection of the amount of crops to be treated capable of detecting the thickness of layers of the crops to be treated on a vibration-grading plate 19 of a grader or due to detachment thereof, the throughput capacity of the grader is controlled based on the supply of grains and culms to a threshing chamber (A).

Abstract: PURPOSE:To automatically control threshing and grading operation in such a manner as to eliminate the clogging of treating object by keeping the treating capacity of a grading apparatus with the controlling means when the thickness of the treating object layer on a vibration grading plate is detected to be larger than a prescribed level. CONSTITUTION:When the display on a monitor showing the detection result of a sieve sensor S4 is 'alarm' or 'caution', i.e., when the thickness of the treating object layer on a chaff sieve is thicker than a prescribed level, the treating capacity of the grading apparatus determined by the opening of the chaff sieve and the air flow rate of a winnower is maintained to a level immediately before getting to the above state. The lowering of the chaff sieve opening and the winnower flow rate caused by the lowering of moving speed based on the monitor display and the alarm can be prevented and the clogged state can be quickly eliminated.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent damage during attaching and detaching of a shaking selecting device by rockingly equipping the shaking selecting device with a contact element in a specific state. CONSTITUTION:A stationary part 20 at the top of a shaking selecting device is equipped with a contact element 21 rockingly in the longitudinal direction in such a forced state as to recover the initial position in a vertical state even by shaking in any direction. Attached or detached, the shaking selecting device is not damaged even by shaking in any direction by a beltlike member 8a of a chaff sieve 8 and can recover the initial position naturally.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce errors in judging the length by making a length determining means determine the length per one pixel larger when pixels belonging to a small stalk area are adjacent in a slantwise direction on an image than when pixels are adjacent in a longitudinal or horizontal direction. CONSTITUTION:This inspecting apparatus is provided with an image sensor 3 which photographs grain particles after threshing, a small stalk area extracting means 102 for extracting a small stalk area corresponding only to small stalks based on the photographed information of the sensor 3 and, a length determining means 103 for determining the length of the small stalks based on the number of pixels belonging to the small stalk area. If the pixels belonging to the small stalk area are adjacent in a slantwise direction, the length per one pixel is made larger as compared with the case where the pixels are adjacent in a longitudinal or a lateral direction. The length of the small stalk is judged by the determining means 103 in the above manner. Accordingly, the judging error can be restricted.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To shorten the discrimination processing time without lowering discrimination precision by extracting only a small rachis-branch and deciding existence of the small rachis-branch when the area of a region thereof is made greater than preset value and the length of the small rachis-branch is made greater than preset value. CONSTITUTION:A region correspondent to grain is extracted by an image pickup processing means 100 of an image sensor 3 for grain. The region of a small rachis-branch correspondent to only the small rachis-branch is extracted from this region by a small rachis-branch extracting means 102. It is discriminated by a length discriminating means 103 whether the length of the small rachis- branch is longer than the prescribed value. A discriminating means 101 decides existence of the small rachis-branch when the area correspondent to grain is made greater than prescribed value and a length discriminating means 103 discriminates that the length of the small rachis-branch is made longer than prescribed value.
