The invention relates to a collecting container for potato harvesters, which for the purpose of emptying in a farm wagon to be brought to the side of the machine can be tilted across the direction of travel of the machine is stored. In such collecting containers, it is already known, the tilt axis of the container in the vicinity of his facing the farm wagon, serving as a drainage path for the groupage in the emptying position To arrange the side wall in such a way that the center of gravity of the container is located above the chassis of the machine during the emptying process from one below the tilting axis to one above the tilting axis lying position is shifted. However, the known devices of this type have the disadvantage that the center of gravity of the container during the tipping process until the beginning of emptying of the The longitudinal center plane of the machine is shifted from to its outside, which increases the stability of the machine severely impaired when tilting the collecting container. There is a risk of the harvester tipping over the higher the collecting container with its inlet opening and during the filling process, the larger its center of gravity is above the machine and the further the center of gravity of the container is during the emptying process away from the median longitudinal plane of the machine.

According to the invention, these deficiencies are eliminated., that the tilt axis of the collecting container is arranged at such a lateral distance from the longitudinal center plane of the harvesting machine that the center of gravity of the container during the tipping process up to the initiation of the emptying process in Shifted direction to the longitudinal center plane of the harvester. Another feature of the invention is in that the feed opening of the loaded in a known manner by the lifting device of the harvesting machine Container in the collecting position is below the tilt axis. The one facing the farm wagon is side wall of the container standing upright in the collecting position and protruding beyond the tilting axis dimensioned so that in the emptying position, the distance between the harvesting machine and the farm wagon bridged. It is already known per se, the side wall of a tiltable collecting container serving as a drainage path to train so long that a transfer of the collected goods to a vehicle is ensured. the according to the invention arranged tilt axis, however, makes it possible to have this effect already by a relatively To achieve a small extension of the side wall of the container, which serves as a drainage path for the groupage, beyond its tilting axis. The part of this side wall projecting beyond the tilt axis is expediently designed in the manner of a grate.

Collection container

The invention is illustrated schematically in one embodiment in the drawing.

On the chassis frame 1 of an arbitrarily designed potato harvester is by means of a boom linkage 2 arranged parallel to the direction of travel of the machine tilting axis 3 which the collecting container 4 with its side wall 4 'facing the harvested field transversely to the direction of travel is tiltable. During the collection process, this side wall 4 'is upright, and the Container 4 has one below its tilting axis and at a small distance above the chassis of the machine lying inlet opening 4 ″, into which, for example, one of the lifting device of the potato harvester outgoing slide 5 opens. When tilting the filled container 4 about its tilt axis 3 in the dashed line Drawn 'emptying position moves its center of gravity towards the longitudinal center plane of the machine upwards, so that the risk of tipping over for the harvester, which would otherwise arise as a result of the increasing side load is avoided. The side wall 4 'of the container facing the harvested field acts here, as soon as it goes beyond the horizontal, in a manner known per se as AljJaufschurre, their on the tilt axis 3 also extended end 4 '' 'the space between the harvesting machine and the laterally located farm wagons 6 bridged. This extended part 4 '"of the side wall is expedient 4 'designed like a rust, so that the earth still adhering to the collection material when the collection material rolls off can be screened between the harvesting machine and the farm wagon.

The tilting process of the collecting container 4 can be brought about in any way. The one in the The embodiment shown in the drawing is used for a pull rope 8 guided over a roller 7 and a

to be operated by the operator of the harvesting machine Hand winch 9. However, articulated lever systems known per se or hydraulic ones can also be used for this purpose Drive devices are used. For the invention, it is essential that the when Tilting of the container up to the arable wagon Shifting the center of gravity of the collecting container towards the longitudinal center plane of the harvesting machine takes place, so that this is not a reinforcing side load learns.

Claims (3)

Patent claims: 1. Collection container for potato harvesters, which for emptying into a side next to the The machine to be brought to the farm wagon is tiltable perpendicular to the direction of travel of the machine, the tilting axis of the container in the vicinity of the one facing the farm wagon, in the emptying position is arranged as a drainage path for the groupage serving side wall and the one above the chassis of the machine Center of gravity of the container during the emptying process from an in a position above the tilt axis is shifted, characterized by such a position lateral distance of the tilt axis (3) of the container (4) from the longitudinal median plane of the harvester that the center of gravity of the container is during the tilting process up to the initiation of the emptying process in the direction of the longitudinal center plane the harvester relocated. 2. Container according to claim 1, characterized in that the in a known manner of The filling opening (4 ") of the container (4) in the collecting device charged by the lifting device of the harvesting machine ivirtcrhal ·!) whose Kippacbse (3) lies. 3. Collection container near claim 1 or 2, over its side wall, which stands upright in the collective position and faces the farm wagon the tilt axis of the container protrudes, characterized by such a dimensioning of the on the tilt axis (3) projecting, rust-like part (4 '") of the side wall (4') that in the emptying position it bridges the gap between the harvesting machine and the farm wagon.
