PROCESSOR VEHICLE

PROCESSORFORDON

The invention relates to a processor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1. This is used to pick up loose units and grind them into chips. These units can be logs, shrubs, twigs and other material lying freely in the forest area. In the past, such vehicles have a lateral receiving aperture and this receiving aperture has been fed and converted into chips in a disassembly device arranged after the receiving aperture. If the area is to be cleaned, such a vehicle must first move in one direction, picking up the goods from one side, and then driving in the opposite direction to pick up the goods from the opposite side.

The object of the present invention is to recover bulk material in a forest area by transporting the vehicle only in one direction and at the same time repairing both sides of the vehicle as well as the goods in front of it. The processor vehicle is provided at its front end with an article receiving port, and a disassembly device is provided behind the receiving port. Both organs are built together into one whole; : kiss and this entity can be translated essentially Ί ·; about a vertical axis such that the receiving opening is ··· pivotable on both sides and .V. forward. This allows the entire area to be cleaned with one processor vehicle.

The disintegrator, which converts the fed article into chips or fine particles, is fed by a conveyor which is suitably::: a conveyor belt in nature. According to the invention, the conveyor is arranged beneath the actual drive motor part of the processor vehicle from the disassembly device to the rear end of the vehicle part.

; *, The conveyor track in question is purely axial and is inclined rearward. The rear end of the conveyor track is located 2,116,458 higher than its front end, whereby the chips on top thereof fall into the container in the load receiving part for transfer therefrom to the load space of the receiving part. The processor vehicle is also front-mounted with a crane that is pivotable so that it can pick up convertible goods around the front of the vehicle.

The chips from the conveyor system may fall down to the trough receiving portion and further to the load receiving portion. The feed chips are moved upwards from the trough, for example by means of a feeding screw, so that the chips are fed to the load-receiving part from above.

The actual load compartment of the load receiving part is tiltable and preferably laterally.

Other features of the invention will be apparent from the appended claims.

In the following, the invention is illustrated in more detail in the two appended hereto. with reference to the drawing, where

Figure 1 shows a complete processor vehicle, Figure 2 shows a part of a dismantling device included in the processor vehicle, and, * Figure 3 shows how the dismantled material is fed into the load compartment of the process: load carrier part itself.

I | i * * * ♦. ···. In the figures, reference numeral 1 denotes the processor unit of the vehicle • * ». This unit may be completely integrated with the load receiving unit 2. However, it is preferable to allow the two parts to remain as two separate units connected to each other by a suitable coupling, ·. : using the device. The drive unit 1 of the processor vehicle 1 and 2 is provided with a front receiving opening 3 consisting of two rotatable cylinders 4 and 5 having a jagged surface. The cylinders can be lifted and lowered at the front to allow the passage of goods of different thickness. Behind the receiving opening 3 is a disintegration device 6. The receiving unit 3 and the disintegrating device 6 together form a unit which is pivotable about a vertical axis. The outlet of the disintegrator 6 is in communication with the conveyor belt 7, which is inclined upwards. The upper end of the conveyor belt 7 cooperates with a pocket 8 for receiving goods from the conveyor belt 7. The pocket 8 communicates with the actual cargo space 10 of the load receiving part. The goods coming from the pocket 8 are carried upwardly in the cargo compartment 10 by means of a feed screw 9 so that the raised goods will fall down against the bottom of the cargo compartment. The cargo space 10 can be tipped sideways by means of a hydraulic cylinder 13. Of course, the load space 10 can also be tilted backwards if desired. A cab 17 is provided above the conveyor belt 7, and a crane 14 is provided in front of the cab, which is provided with a gripping means 15 capable of grasping the load from both the right and left and directly from the front of the processor vehicle 1 and 2. in front of it. The figure shows how the gripping means 15 engages the wood frame 16.

The processor vehicle described above operates as follows: »'Vehicle 1 and 2 are conveyed directly forward through a predetermined number of grooves, and are lifted by a crane in front of the vehicle; both right, left, and directly in front, and is fed by means of a crane 14 to a pickup device 3; article 16, which, owing to the motor drive * t ··· 'of two cylinders 4 and 5, is directed towards the disintegrator 6. Disintegrated products • fall into the conveyor web 7. To facilitate the feeding of goods to the receiving opening 3, this can be rotated in the direction from which the goods are picked. The disassembled products are fed by the strap 7 into the receiving pocket 8. This receiving pocket 8 has a * »* feed screw 9 which takes the disassembled article so far up into the cargo space 10 that the article can fall down and thus more or 4 116458 less completely fill the entire cargo space. When the load space is full, the entire vehicle is taken to a suitable unloading site, where the load space 10 is discharged from the loaded load by means of a hydraulic cylinder 13.

The significant advantage of the processor vehicle described above is that it can be driven straight forward, and since the receiving port and the dispensers are provided at the front, the goods around and in front of the vehicle can be picked up and disassembled. Thus, unlike before, the vehicle has to be transported in one direction only and not in two directions in order to clear a lane of forest land.

The outlet of the duct or feed pipe in which the feed screw 9 operates can also open to the bottom of the cargo space 10. In this case, the chips are pressed upwards by means of the feed screw 9.
