The present invention relates to a cutting mechanism () for attaching to a harvesting machine (), comprising a frame () that is connected to a plurality of rocker arms () spaced apart from one another, facing in the working direction (A) and are movable vertically. In each case, a plurality thereof being configured at least in some portions as a leaf spring assembly () includes a plurality of leaf springs (), and the front ends of these rocker arms () are connected in each case via a connecting component to knife angle bracket profiles (), the cutting elements () of the cutting mechanism () being fastened thereto. For mounting of the knife angle bracket profiles (), a connecting joint () with attachment means () on its sides facing transversely to the working direction (A) in order to connect an adjacent knife angle bracket profile () to connecting joint ().

Cutting mechanism comprising a leaf spring rocker arm as a cutting element support

The invention relates to a cutting mechanism () for installing onto a harvesting machine (), comprising a frame () that has rocker arms () which point in the working direction and the front ends of which are secured to cutting elements () in order to cut the harvested crops, said rocker arms () together with the cutting elements () secured thereto being vertically movable relative to the frame (). The aim of the invention is to provide an improved support for moving conveyor surfaces. This is achieved in that one or more support elements () are placed on the rocker arms (), said support elements supporting conveyor surfaces () located above the rocker arms (), and at least one of the support elements () is connected to the rocker arm () in a longitudinally movable manner.

Cutting mechanism with longitudinally movable support element for supporting a conveyor surface

The invention relates to a cutting mechanism () for installing on a harvesting machine (). The aim of the invention is to provide a cutting mechanism which comprises a mounting for the cutting elements and which adapts easily to the soil contour without thereby tilting into an uncontrolled swing. This is achieved in that multiple or all of the rocker arms () are designed as a respective leaf spring assembly () composed of multiple leaf springs (), multiple or all of the leaf springs () lying flatly one on top of the other as a leaf spring assembly () are held together on the frame () between clamping elements () at the frame-side leaf spring ends, and only one or multiple leaf springs () arranged in the upper region of the leaf spring assembly () are connected to the cutting elements (). One or more of the leaf springs () which are held on the frame () between the clamping elements () and are arranged in the lower region of the leave spring assembly () terminate, when viewed in the working direction, in front of the connection zone () of the leave springs () which are arranged in the upper region of the leaf spring assembly () and comprise the cutting elements ().
