PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To raise the separation accuracy by changing the blowoff direction of the whole separation wind blown off from a pressurized air winnower according to the amount of materials which are to be treated on a shaking separator, and include the materials which are to be treated and discharged from a tailings treating chamber to a separation chamber.SOLUTION: A separation controller of a thresher includes: a pair of upper and lower wind direction guide plates 8 and 9 provided for regulating the blowoff direction of the separation wind on the blowoff side of the separation wind of the pressurized air winnower 5 to form a separation wind guide passage 10 between the pair of upper and lower wind direction guide plates 8 and 9 and a sensor 11 installed for detecting the amount of the materials which are to be treated on the shaking separator 4 including the materials which are to be treated and discharged from the tailings treating chamber 2 to the separation chamber 3. The separation controller of the thresher is composed so as to regulate the tilt angle of the pair of upper and lower wind direction guide plates 8 and 9 on the basis of the amount of the materials which are to be treated and detected with the sensor 11 and automatically change the blowoff direction of the separation wind from the separation wind guide passage 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】二番処理室から選別室へ排出された処理物を含む揺動選別装置上の処理物の量に応じて圧風唐箕から吹き出す選別風全体の吹き出し方向を変えることで、選別精度を高める。【解決手段】圧風唐箕5の選別風の吹き出し側に、該選別風の吹き出し方向を調節する上下一対の風向案内板8,9を設け、該上下一対の風向案内板8,9の間に選別風誘導路10を形成し、二番処理室2から選別室3に排出される処理物を含む揺動選別装置4上の処理物の量を検出するセンサ11を設け、該センサ11によって検出される処理物の量に基づいて上下一対の風向案内板8,9の傾斜角度を調節して選別風誘導路10からの選別風の吹き出し方向を自動的に変更する構成とする。【選択図】図1
