PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a threshing device in which the initial speed of opening a cover body is made faster than the operating speed of an actuator, and thereby prompt action in an emergency is made possible.SOLUTION: A threshing device includes: a cover body 15 of a threshing chamber 11 an electric hydraulic cylinder 22 for opening and closing the cover body 15 a gas spring 23 for biasing the cover body 15 to the opening direction a locking member 24 for fixing the cover body 15 in a closed position flexibility means 35 for permitting the operation of the electric hydraulic cylinder 22 while the cover body 15 is in the closed position and linkage means 36 for linking the electric hydraulic cylinder 22 with the locking member 24. The linkage means 36 releases the fixing of the cover body 15 by the locking member 24 according to the operation of the electric hydraulic cylinder 22 while the cover body 15 is in the closed position. The gas spring 23 opens the cover body 15 for a predetermined amount in the range of flexibility of the flexibility means 35, when the linkage means 36 releases the fixing of the cover body 15 by the locking member 24.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】カバー体の初期の開放速度をアクチュエータの作動速度よりも速くし、緊急時の迅速な対応を可能にする。【解決手段】扱室11のカバー体15と、カバー体15を開閉させる電動油圧シリンダ22と、カバー体15を開放方向へ付勢するガススプリング23と、カバー体15を閉塞位置で固定するロック部材24と、カバー体15が閉塞位置にある状態で電動油圧シリンダ22の作動を許容する融通手段35と、電動油圧シリンダ22とロック部材24とを連係させる連係手段36とを備え、連係手段36は、カバー体15が閉塞位置にある状態での電動油圧シリンダ22の作動に応じて、ロック部材24によるカバー体15の固定を解除し、ガススプリング23は、連係手段36がロック部材24によるカバー体15の固定を解除したとき、融通手段35の融通範囲内でカバー体15を所定量開放させる。【選択図】図4
