RU14411U1 - DEVICE FOR ROOT HARVEST - Google Patents

Abstract

A device for harvesting root crops, containing at least one handle and a working body in the form of forked teeth curved towards each other, mounted on the connecting element with the possibility of rotation, characterized in that it is equipped with a pedal placed on the working body, and the connecting element is made in the form a frame on which a vertical rod is rigidly fixed with an S-shaped handle in the upper part mounted on it at an angle to the horizontal plane.

Description

Device for harvesting root crops

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, and more specifically to hand tools for digging and harvesting potatoes and other root crops.

Known manual tools for harvesting root crops, which are fork-shaped shovels (see, for example, AS USSR No. 1306504 according to class A 01 D 9/02 for 1997). 1.

The disadvantage of device 1 is the inconvenience when working with it, consisting in the need for its multiple deepening when harvesting each potato bush. This is necessary in order to make sure that the tubers are completely removed from the ground.

There is also a device for harvesting potatoes called Spider, which contains standard forks pivotally mounted on the crossbar, the wooden cuttings of which are replaced by handles made in the form of curved thin-walled steel tubes. The handles, rigidly connected with the forks, are bent in such a way that when turning they do not cross and do not touch each other (see, for example, the book by B.A. Vorobyov and others. My 6 hundredths - M .: Publishing House MSP, 1999, p. 172.173). 2.

The disadvantage of device 2 is the inconvenience in work, which consists in the need to manually rotate the handles after introducing the forks into the soil, which requires considerable effort.

The problem to which the proposed model is aimed is to increase the convenience during work.

The technical result from the use of the proposed utility model is to reduce fatigue during harvesting of root crops.

The above technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for harvesting root crops, containing at least one handle and a working body in the form of forked teeth that are bent towards each other, mounted on the connecting element with the possibility of rotation, according to the proposal, is equipped with a pedal placed on the working body, moreover, the connecting element is made in the form of a frame on which a vertical rod with a S-shaped handle in the upper part fixed on it at an angle of the horizon is rigidly fixed cial plane.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings, where

In FIG. 1 - shows the overall IDC of the device in isometry;

In FIG. 2 is a front view of the device;

In FIG. 3 is a side view of the device.

A device for harvesting root crops contains a vertical

rod 1, in the upper part of which is installed at an angle of OS to

a horizontal plane equal to 15 ° -60 °, the handle 2 is S-shaped, and on the lower part there is a working body 3 in the form of forked teeth 4 and 5 bent towards each other, pivotally connected to each other using a frame 6 and forming a grip. The device is equipped with a pedal 7 and a mechanism 8 for adjusting the height of the rod 1. The rod 1 is welded to the frame 6 with a corner 9 for greater rigidity. The stop 10 serves to limit the closure of the grip.

The device operates as follows. Using the threaded mechanism 8, the necessary and convenient height of the vertical rod 1 is established for the worker. Then, with the foot raising the pedal 5 teeth by the pedal 7 and simultaneously tilting the vertical shaft 1, rigidly connected to one half of the fork-like grip, it opens. After that, the gripper is mounted on a harvested tuber bush, for example, of potato, and the forked teeth 4 and 5 are sunk into the ground. In this case, the forked teeth 4 and 5 rotate towards each other until the grip is closed, thus, the tubers are inside it. Then the device is vertically lifted, removing the tubers from the soil for manual collection.

Using the proposed utility model will facilitate the process of harvesting root crops.
