Abstract: A rotor includes a rotor core. The rotor core has an outer shape including a first arc portion provided so as to intersect a d-axis, a straight line portion provided so as to intersect a q-axis, and a curved portion that connects the first arc portion and the straight line portion. The first arc portion has an arc shape centered on an axial center of the rotor core. The curved portion includes an arc-shaped second arc portion that bulges outward in a radial direction of the rotor core. The radius of curvature of the second arc portion being smaller than a radius of curvature of the first arc portion.

Abstract: A harvester capable of autonomous travel in a field includes: a harvesting unit that harvests a crop from the field; a conveyance device that conveys, toward the rear of a harvester body, a whole culm of the harvested crop harvested by the harvesting unit; a detection sensor that detects a drive speed of the conveyance device; and a clog determining unit that determines a clog of the harvested crop in the conveyance device on the basis of the drive speed. The clog determining unit outputs a vehicle stop command that stops the harvester body when the drive speed becomes lower than a pre-set first threshold during the autonomous travel.

Abstract: A combine includes: a reaper to reap planted grain culms in a field; a threshing apparatus to thresh the reaped grain culms and separate the reaped grain culms into separated material containing normal grain and material to be discharged other than the separated material; a grain tank in which the separated material is storable; a conveying apparatus to convey the separated material from a separation section to the grain tank; a temporary storage section to take out and store some of the separated material that is being conveyed by the conveying apparatus; an image capture unit to capture an image of the separated material stored in the temporary storage section; and an image analysis module to analyze the image captured by the image capture unit, and perform distinguishing processing for distinguishing the normal grain in the separated material stored in the temporary storage section from foreign matter.

Abstract: A threshing state management system includes an image capture unit 80 that captures an image of a threshed material threshed by a threshing apparatus, a state detection neural network 72 that outputs a threshing processing state in the threshing apparatus based on image input data generated based on the captured image from the image capture unit 80, a parameter determination unit 73 that determines a control parameter of the threshing apparatus based on the threshing processing state, and a threshing control unit TU that controls the threshing apparatus based on the control parameter.

Abstract: A threshing apparatus 1 includes a threshing unit 41 that has a receiving net 23 and threshes crops, and a sorting unit 42 that is provided below the threshing unit 41 and sorts grain from a threshed product that has leaked from the receiving net 23. The sorting unit 42 includes a sorter 24 that sorts grain as a sorted product from the threshed product, a first product collector 26 that collects the sorted product as a first product, a second product collector 27 that collects, as a second product, the threshed product that was not sorted as the sorted product, a second product returner 32 that returns the second product collected by the second product collector 27 to the sorter 24, and a return amount detector 71 that detects the return amount of the second product to be returned to the sorter 24.

Abstract: A combine including: a grain tank that stores grains sorted by a sort unit that swings to sort grains fallen from a threshing cylinder unit; a yield measuring device that measures the amount of grain put in the grain tank; a unit yield calculation unit that calculates a unit yield per unit plot in a cultivated field; an opening degree adjustment unit that adjusts the opening degree of a chaff sheave of the sort unit in accordance with a threshing state of the threshing apparatus; a mode setting unit that sets a yield accuracy priority mode in which priority is given to accuracy of the unit yield calculation performed by the unit yield calculation unit; and a yield accuracy maintenance unit that in response to the mode setting unit setting the yield accuracy priority mode, forcibly fixes the opening degree of the chaff sheave at a specific opening degree.
