PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a straw cutter that facilitates assembly of a transmission shaft with a pipe shaft and prevents winding of straw, by forming a shaft for mounting rotary blades into dual-shaft configuration in a configuration of mounting the rotary blades to the pipe shaft outside the transmission shaft.SOLUTION: A straw cutter is arranged with a cutter (27) comprising fixed receiving blades (23) for receiving and cutting waste culms after the threshing processing to a cutting chamber (22) in a cutter casing (21) at the rear of a threshing device (9), and rotary blades (26) fixed to a pipe shaft (25) rotatably supported outside a transmission shaft (24) rotating around rotary shaft cores in the right and left direction. At an outer end side between the transmission shaft (24) and the pipe shaft (25), stepped parts (24a, 25a) are formed between an outer circumference of the transmission shaft (24) and an inner surface of the pipe shaft (25), respectively.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明の課題は、回転刃を取り付ける軸を2重軸構成とし、伝動軸外側のパイプ軸に回転刃を取り付ける構成で、伝動軸とパイプ軸の組み立てを容易にし、且つ、わらの巻き付き防止が可能な排稈切断装置を具現することにある。【解決手段】 本発明は、脱穀装置(9)の後部に脱穀処理後の排稈をカッタケーシング(21)内の切断室(22)に受け入れて切断処理する固定受刃(23)と、左右方向の回転軸芯周りに回転する伝動軸(24)の外側に軸架されたパイプ軸(25)に固着の回転刃(26)とからなる切断装置(27)を配備し、伝動軸(24)とパイプ軸(25)の外端側には伝動軸(24)の外周とパイプ軸(25)の内面とにそれぞれ段差部(24a,25a)を形成する。【選択図】 図6
