Description

Title: Transportable Crusher

for corn-cob mix Portable shredder for Corn-Cob-Mix The invention relates to a portable comminuting device for corn-cob mix and other crops, with a motor-driven grinder and a container for inputting the harvested crop, which is operationally via conveyors are interconnected and arranged on a chassis.

Corn-Cob-Mix (CCM) is maize that has been grown before it is fully ripe is harvested and then stored in silos, usually so-called driving silos. It is essential that the maize harvested by the combine harvester is checked before it is brought in is ground into the silos so that it is mixed after being removed from the silo can be fed directly with other feed.

The crushing of the corn cob pieces is very energy-consuming, so that the mills used were driven by large and heavy internal combustion engines will.

Disadvantageous with the known movable shredding devices or Chassis-mounted mills ensure that the maize is supplied to the Mill only takes place irregularly and therefore the drive power is designed so large it must be ensured that even peak loads due to excessive input are managed can.

A further disadvantage of the known devices is that the The transport vehicles tipping the corn on the cob can easily become parts of the goods to be transported can tilt next to the inlet funnel of the mills or the corresponding storage containers and when this item is placed on the floor, foreign bodies get into the mill which can damage or even destroy the mills. There is also one certain reduction in the value of the ground good.

Same disadvantages exist when entering the grind Good things about front loaders are done after a simple tipping, using this method is also very labor-intensive.

With direct input of the material to be ground into a storage container or funnel of the mill, another disadvantage is that not arbitrary Flat-built vehicles can be used. So there are to the Part of special vehicles required.

It is now the object of the invention to avoid these disadvantages and to create a shredding device for corn-cob mix or other crops, which is simple in structure, can be operated economically, in which the input of the material to be ground can be made from any flat-built vehicle can and the use of a separate charger is omitted, in which the drive power the mill can be reduced and a reduction in the quality of the Material to be crushed and damage to or destruction of the mill is safe is avoided.

This task is to be solved under the conditions of a hard Production operation as well as taking advantage of a wide variety of installation conditions.

The stated object is achieved according to the invention in that at the shredding device mentioned at the beginning of the container at its of the Mill has a side facing away from an angled, side walls possessing swivel wall, which is considerably longer than the height of the container, the upper part of which is after one Pivoting can be placed on the floor and its lower part after pivoting up together with the front wall forms the V-shape of the container for transporting the crop from the container to the mill there is a screw conveyor and another Auger is arranged above the bottom of the container along the same.

This training ensures once that due to the Swivel wall the input of the material to be ground is particularly easy because the Swivel wall can be driven on by a transport vehicle when it is on the ground lies and on the other hand is through the screw conveyor between the container and the Mill ensures a uniform input of the material, so that the drive motor can always be driven with a constant continuous load.

To feed the screw conveyor mentioned, the advantageous The container has an opening in the middle of the bottom on the mill side, in which the screw conveyor begins and the further screw running transversely to it has starting from the middle Coils running in opposite directions on both sides, around the one to be connected Good in the container from the sides to the center.

The further screw advantageously points in the middle, corresponding to the width the outlet opening stirring arms or strips, which the material into the outlet opening to press.

To provide sufficient support for the chassis when swiveling up To ensure the swivel wall, which is partly covered with regrind, are advantageous hinged to the chassis under the pivot wall supports and between the supports and the swivel wall, hydraulic piston-cylinder units are angularly movable arranged over which the swivel wall can be swiveled up.

To increase the support, the supports are advantageously angular on, the linkage takes place at the upper edge of one angle flange and the other Flange extends below the one placed on the floor to enlarge the projection Swivel wall.

There are also clamping devices that engage the swivel wall and are able to hold them in the swiveled up position. This will be beneficial a pull up the supports by the piston-cylinder units for moving the chassis.

Obviously, the shredding device according to the invention offers with a simple structure a number of considerable advantages and it can therefore be of an ideal solution to the problems at hand.

In the following an embodiment of the invention is based on Drawings described in more detail. They show: FIG. 1 a side view of the invention Device in filling position; FIG. 2 shows a view of the device in the grinding position; FIG. 3 shows a view of the device with the supports in the driving position and FIG. 4 a perspective view of the container for receiving the to be ground Good.

The device according to the invention consists essentially of one Chassis 1 on which a mill 2, an internal combustion engine driving it 15, a tank 16 for the fuel for the engine 15, a container 4 for receiving it of the material to be shredded and a screw conveyor 3 for transporting the material from the container 4 to the mill 2 are arranged.

The chassis 1 can be attached to a towing vehicle via a drawbar with a support in the drawbar area for the operation of the mill is.

The arrangement of the mill including the drive motor, the fuel tank and the chassis correspond to the usual state of the art technology and therefore need not to be described in more detail.

The container 4 for receiving the material to be ground has on his from the mill side facing away from an angled pivot wall 7, which considerably is longer than the height of the container and its upper part after being swiveled away can be placed on the floor.

The lower part runs at a certain angle to the upper part and forms after pivoting the pivot wall 7 together with the front wall 12, the transverse to the chassis extending container 4, the has a V-shape in cross-section and a longitudinal one at its deepest point another screw 5 is available.

On the mill side, the container 4 has an outlet opening for the Material to be ground, in which the entry area of the screw conveyor 3 is between the mill 2 and the container 4 is located. The screw conveyor 3 is constant Speed hydraulically driven and causes an absolutely even addition of the material to be ground to the mill 2, so that the synchronism of the drive motor 15 in narrow limits is guaranteed.

Below the lower part of the swivel wall 7 are on the chassis Supports 8 articulated, which have two piston-cylinder units arranged next to one another 9 with the pivot wall 7 approximately in the area of the bend between the upper and lower Part are connected.

The supports 8 are angular, with lower Flanges extend under the swivel wall 7 so as to lower the support point as much as possible to relocate this wall.

There are also tension ropes attached to the front wall of the Container 4 and on the upper edge of the pivot wall 7 can be fastened. This tension or holding ropes are attached to transport or move the device and now not only secure the position of the swivel wall 7, but also when it is pulled in the piston in the piston-cylinder units 9 also become the supports 8 pulled up and do not need to be moved or secured separately.

If the supports 8 are folded down, the piston-cylinder units move 9 the swivel wall 7 upwards or downwards.

For filling in the goods to be processed, i.e. those from the combine harvester Pieces of corn on the cob thrown on a trolley are advantageously driven by the trolley on the swiveled-down swivel wall 7 and tilts the material to be ground there as close to the front wall 12 as possible. When moving out, a part of Good unloaded on the swivel wall 7.

After the transport vehicle has moved down from the swivel wall 7 again is, this swings up and the container 4 is now formed, with a Falling of the material to be ground is safely avoided. The container 4 is evident designed so that after pivoting the pivot wall 7, the further loading process the grinder works automatically and evenly. The other screw conveyor 5 ensures that the material to be ground is conveyed to the outlet opening and there can exit evenly. It is also guaranteed that without manual assistance a practically complete emptying of the container 4 takes place.

It can be seen that the feed of the device for comminution of corn-cob mix with all types of vehicles readily and especially without the falling of goods take place, the device is easy to handle and to moves and adapts easily to the circumstances, so it can not only be done on one Farm, but also work in a field in the immediate vicinity of the combine harvester. It therefore represents an essential addition to the state of the art.
