Agricultural header

1. A header comprising:

a main frame;

a middle section disposed on the main frame;

at least two side sections disposed adjacent to the middle section;

a cutterbar extending substantially across a width of the header, and

at least one conveyor device configured for conveying crop cut by the cutterbar laterally in a direction toward the middle section, said conveyor device comprising a central conveyor including an endlessly circulating, endless conveyor belt which is guided around two rollers which are spaced apart from each other, wherein said rollers are disposed on two support elements extending in parallel to a conveyance direction of the conveyor belt and are mounted on bearing points provided on each of the support elements,

wherein the support elements each comprise a guide recess extending in a longitudinal direction of the respective support element and in which recess one of the rollers is displaceable, in sections, in the longitudinal direction of the support element, such that the conveyor belt can be transferred from an operating position, in which the conveyor belt is tensioned, into a maintenance position, in which the conveyor belt sags, in sections, in a vertical direction,

wherein in the maintenance position, sections of the conveyor belt protrude through an exposable opening in an underside of the header, and

wherein at least one maintenance flap is articulated on the middle section on the underside of the header, the maintenance flap being swivelable about an axis extending in parallel to the rollers.

2. The header as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one maintenance flap has a width which is greater than a distance between the two support elements.

3. The header as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one maintenance flap is articulated adjacent to the cutterbar.

4. The header as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bearing points are designed as bearing units detachably disposed on the two support elements such that the conveyor belt and the rollers can be jointly removed from the underside of the header by detaching the bearing units from the support elements.

5. The header as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a tensioning device disposed on the bearing points of each of the support elements, said tensioning device being configured for transferring the displaceable roller from the operating position into the maintenance position, and vice versa.

6. The header as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the tensioning device is designed as a toggle joint arrangement which is detachably disposed an outside of the respective support element.

7. The header as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the tensioning device comprises a sliding unit which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the respective support element and on which the particular bearing unit of the displaceable roller is fastened.

8. The header as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the roller disposed adjacent to the cutterbar has a smaller outer diameter than the roller spaced farther away from the cutterbar.

9. The header as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the roller disposed adjacent to the cutterbar is designed as a guide roller and the roller spaced farther away from the cutterbar is designed as a drive roller.
