Abstract
A harvesting device for the harvesting of ears of corn or of similar grain crops for mounting on a self-propelled agricultural harvesting vehicle, in particular a combine or a chopper forage harvester, equipped with a picking device for ears of corn. The picking device consists of an ear holding device with at least one picking gap and at least one picking cylinder, located below the picking gap, for the purpose of pulling of the corn stalks in a downward direction and ripping the ears of corn off their stalks. The ear holding device is formed by at least one picking disk that rotates around a vertical shaft and features at least one picking gap that runs in the rotation direction and is open at the outer periphery of the picking disk. A covering device, which partially reaches over the topside of the picking disk, forms at least one conveying channel for the transport of the ripped-off ears of corn to the harvesting vehicle.
