Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A combine harvester processing system comprises a rotor and a rotor cage encircling the rotor. The rotor cage comprises an arcuate section having an interior surface which includes a first vane and a second vane each disposed at an angle relative to a radial axis. The first vane is disposed forwardly of the second vane. The angle of the first vane is less than the angle of the second vane.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A combine harvester processing system configured to move through a field to be harvested in a forward direction, the combine harvester processing system comprising: a rotor, said rotor having a radial axis perpendicular to the forward direction; a rotor cage encircling the rotor, the rotor cage comprising an arcuate section having an interior surface, wherein the interior surface of the arcuate section comprises a plurality of vanes, with each vane of said plurality of vanes is disposed at an angle relative to a radial axis plane which extends from the radial axis of the rotor cage, and wherein each vane of said plurality of vanes has a different angle, relative to the radial axis, compared to an angle of each of the other vanes of said plurality of vanes, wherein the angle of each vane of said plurality of vanes increases from front to back. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vanes correspond to top cover sections that are associated, at least in part, with a lower concave portion of the rotor cage. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vanes correspond to top cover sections that are associated, at least in part, with a lower separator portion of the rotor cage. 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interior section comprising the plurality of vanes is limited to a detachable top cover section of the rotor cage.
