Oite the Konbai down, the bottom screw provided at the lower end of the lower Subomari portion of grain recovery tank is deployed in substantially the center of the tank width, the bottom screw is configured to be located above the body frame (e.g. , See Patent Document 1).

  In recent years, in a combine that stores grain that has been threshed while harvesting in a grain recovery tank, it is necessary to interrupt the harvesting and carry out the grain every time the grain recovery tank is full In order to increase the work efficiency by reducing the frequency of the carry-out work, it is desired to increase the capacity of the grain recovery tank as much as possible.

As means for increasing the capacity of the grain recovery tank, (1) means for increasing the width of the grain recovery tank, (2) means for increasing the height of the grain recovery tank, (3) A means that bulges the upper part toward the inside of the machine and extends above the threshing device, (4) a means that has an increase tank part that can be withdrawn from the lateral outer surface of the grain recovery tank, or the like. It is used.
JP-A-2005-278450

However, each of the above-described means has the following problems.
In the means of (1), the threshing device is arranged on the inside of the machine body of the grain recovery tank, so that the tank width is expanded laterally outward, but when the tank width is greatly expanded laterally, The grain collection tank will protrude most laterally outward, and there is a high risk that the grain collection tank will hit an obstacle outside the machine when moving in a narrow passage or when storing in a garage. . In addition, the center of gravity of the machine body is biased toward the grain collection tank by the weight of the collected grain, and the right and left weight balance of the machine body is likely to deteriorate.

  In the above means (2), when the operation unit is installed in the front part of the machine body of the grain recovery tank, the rear view from the operation unit is hindered by the tall grain recovery tank. In addition, when the grain is stored in the tall grain recovery tank until the grain is full, the center of gravity of the body becomes high due to the weight of the grain accumulated to a high level, and the stability of the body when traveling in a full state is lowered.

  In the above-mentioned means (3), in the specification in which the threshing apparatus configured to open the upper part and maintain the handling room and the sorting unit is mounted, the tank portion protruding to the upper part of the threshing apparatus is the upper part of the threshing apparatus. It becomes easy to get in the way of opening.

  With the means of (4) above, it becomes easy to hit the increase tank part against obstacles outside the machine when you forget to store the increase tank part that protrudes, and you can put the grain into the increase tank part. By collecting and accumulating, the center of gravity of the machine body is biased toward the grain collection tank, and the weight balance of the machine body tends to deteriorate. In addition, the structure for withdrawing and withdrawing the increase tank part is complicated and increases the number of parts, which contributes to high costs.
