  • Patent number: 11962215
    Abstract: A linear motor achieves both a decrease in pulsation and an increase in propulsion with a 6n teeth structure provided with: a first mover for holding permanent magnets arranged longitudinally; a first stator having 6n teeth that are arranged so as to oppose the first mover and 6n windings that are wound on the respective teeth; a second mover holding permanent magnets longitudinally; a second stator having 6n teeth that are arranged in the longitudinal direction so as to oppose the second mover and 6n windings that are wound on the respective teeth The permanent magnets opposing each other in the first mover and the second mover are disposed with a phase difference of ?/2 in the moving direction of the two movers, and electrical currents with a phase difference of (1+6m)?/3 or (2+6m)?/3 are supplied to the windings opposing each other in the first stator and the second stator.

  • Publication number: 20220264796
    Abstract: A combine includes a threshing device and a grain tank that is located above the threshing device and stores threshed grain. A threshing cylinder 31 is located in a threshing chamber and rotates about a front-rear axis, and an arc-shaped receiving net extends along an outer circumferential portion of the threshing cylinder 31. A raking unit 33 is located in a front portion of the threshing cylinder 31 and rakes in reaped culm, and a threshing processing unit 34 is located rearward of the raking unit 33 in the threshing cylinder 31 and threshes the reaped culm. A top plate 30 includes a portion that extends from a location corresponding to an upper portion of the raking unit 33 to a location corresponding to an upper portion of the threshing processing unit 34 and that is removable from a main body portion of the threshing device in a body-rearward direction.
