  • Patent number: 10024337
    Abstract: One describes a rotor (1) for an exhaust-fan assembly (4) of an 5 agricultural machine, the rotor (1) comprising a central shaft (7), a first portion (31) provided with an inlet deflector (15) having a substantially elliptical profile, defining a tapered inlet end (26). The rotor, which is also provided with a set of blades (13), further comprises a second portion (29) provided with an outlet deflector (22) having a substantially elliptical profile, so that the 10 first and the second portions (31, 29) are associated to the central shaft (7). According to the invention, one provides a rotor that promotes efficient cleaning of harvested cane.

  • Patent number: 9976567
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor (90) applied to an extractor-fan assembly (80) for agricultural machines, especially for sugar-cane harvesters, the rotor (90) comprising a set of blades (1) fixed to a hub (2). Each of the blades (1) has such a construction that defines a root angle (3) that may range from 47 to 59 degrees, a medium angle (4) that may range from 53 to 69 degrees and a trailing angle (5) that may range from 66 to 78 degrees. Due to the construction angles of the blades (1), the air flow comes in contact with the rotor (9) smoothly, without any turbulence in its displacement, which results in high efficiency and efficacy of the extractor-fan assembly (80).

  • Patent number: 9801336
    Abstract: Provided is a floating base-cutter assembly (16) for use on sugar-cane harvesters, the assembly being formed by two base-cutters. Each of the base-cutters (16) comprises a set of cutting knives (9). The base-cutter assembly (16) comprises an adjustable set of cutting knives (9) that may be selectively adjustable with respect to the ground. The base-cutter assembly (16) is also mounted on the harvester body via a set of articulated rods (2, 5). The base-cutter assembly (16) also includes an electric switch (7) and an inverted-shell-shaped component (8) that collectively control a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (4) to articulate the rods (2,5) and maintain the set of cutting knives (9) at a redetermined distance relative to the ground surface, regardless of variations in the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 9707997
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turn system actuated by hydraulic cylinders, applied to the four wheels of sugar-cane harvesters, wherein the harvester (80) comprises a rear axle (23) and a front axle (24), with wheel assemblies (9) associated to the axles (23, 24), wherein the rear axle (23) and the front axle (24) have a turn system, the one of the rear axle (23) being actuated by means of a double-action rear hydraulic cylinder (1) and that of the front axle (24) being actuated by means of a double-action front hydraulic cylinder (11), the hydraulic cylinders (1, 11) receiving a flow of oil through at least one flow divider (61) connected to an ortibrol (65) actuated by means of a steering wheel (60) of the harvester (80), the flow of oil received by the flow divider (61) being proportional to a factor related to the turn of the steering wheel (60), the turn system enabling the turn of the wheel assemblies (9) in amplitude ranging from 0.

  • Patent number: 9545056
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is achieved by means of a row divider (1) applied to a sugar cane harvester (100). Said device (1) comprises at least one helicoidal lift (2) connected to an engine. Said helicoidal lift (2) has a conical shape geometry of variable cross section around an imaginary central axis (102), and comprises a first segment (3) and a second segment (4). The first segment (3) establishes a first generatrix (5) which defines an angle a to the central axis (102) and comprises a first screw thread (6) in its outer surface. The second segment (4) establishes a second generatrix (7) which defines an angle ? to the central axis (102), so that ? has a greater value than a. Said second segment (4) comprises a second screw thread (8) in its surface, which is oriented in the opposite direction of the first screw thread (6).
