Abstract: 1305417 Combine harvester headers ALLISCHALMERS MFG CO 5 May 1970 [19 May 1969] 21624/70 Heading A1F The cutting height of a combine harvester header unit is maintained at a predetermined level by the automatic adjustment of the vertical position of the header unit relative to the combine by means of a header position control. The control also eliminates shock loading of the header unit on the combine. The header unit 13 is pivotally mounted at 14 on combine 16 for raising and lowering relative thereto by at least one hydraulic ram 61. A control mechanism, responsive to the position of a ground-variation feeler 17, connects fluid from a hydraulic pump 46 to the ram 61 for raising the header unit when the mechanism is in its raising position, locks fluid in the ram 61 and allows fluid from the pump 46 to circulate back to a sump 42, 56 when in its neutral position, and connects fluid from the ram 61 to the sump 44, 69 when in its lowering position. The control mechanism comprises valve means 51 for controlling pressure buildup in the ram and which has a restriction 52, 53 connected in a pilot supply 49 of fluid from the pump 46 to control the rate of pressure build-up, and further valve means 67 for controlling pressure decrease in the ram which has a restriction 73, 74 connected in a pilot supply 72 of the fluid from the ram to control the rate of pressure decrease. Preferably the feeler 17 actuates electrical switches 23, 24 which are brought into automatic operation by means of a manual lever 75 which when lowered actuates a switch 31 and the switches 23, 24 are connected into a circuit which includes battery 40 and solenoid valves 29, 34 which operate depending on which of switches 23, 24 is closed in order to raise or lower the header. The systems is shown in the 'neutral' position. In the raise position,with switch 23 closed, solenoid valve 29 closes off the passage of fluid to the sump 42, poppet valve 81, 83 closes the passage of fluid to sump 56 as a result of the increase in pressure, one-way valve 58 opens and fluid from pump 46 enters the ram. In the lower position and switch 24 closed, solenoid valve 34 allows fluid to pass to sump 44, the decrease in pressure opens poppet valve 79, 80 thereby allowing fluid to pass to sump 69 and the ram is discharged. The header may be manually raised by the operation of lever 75 to close switch 26 thereby closing valve 29 &c, and manually lowered by closing switch 31, but lowering only occurs when feeler 17 actuates switch 24.
