Description

The utility model relates to agriculture, in particular, to manual gardening tools, and can be used for tillage, other types of agricultural and general construction work.

The closest to the claimed device is a dacha shovel [TU 14-579-04-89, GOST 19596], made of a metal blade flat bent along the axis from the side of the front part of which has a sharpened cutting edge, and in the upper part of the blade along the axis a tubular clamp is made for attaching a wooden handle in it. To the left and to the right of the tubular clamp, on the canvas, in the direction of the front of the canvas, lapels are made for setting the legs.

The disadvantage of the device is that in the case of adhesion of soil, cleaning the metal sheet requires certain skills and significant efforts on the part of the user. The cleaning operation reduces the performance of using and operating the device, and may lead to its breakdown.

The technical problem to be solved by the claimed device is to reduce the time and physical effort of the user when cleaning the metal blade of the shovel and, thus, to increase labor productivity, as well as to reduce the likelihood of breakage of the device during cleaning.

The technical problem is achieved in that the proposed device contains a handle and a metal blade fixed at one end, the lower part of which has a sharpened cutting edge. In the upper part of the web along the axis, a tubular clamp is made for attaching the handle in it. To the left and to the right of the tubular clamp, on the canvas, away from the front of the canvas, lapels are made for setting the legs. The device contains a cleaning plate, which is formed with an opening, the profile of which corresponds to the cross-section of the metal sheet. The cleaning plate passes through the metal blade and is attached to a movable handle having lateral longitudinal grooves that allow the movable handle to move the cleaning plate along the metal blade from leg positioning flaps to the cutting edge and back. A compression spring located under the movable handle around the tubular clamp for attaching the handle in it ensures the movement of the cleaning plate along the metal sheet from the cuffs for setting the leg to the cutting edge and back, returning the plate to its original position.

The technical essence of the proposed device is illustrated by a drawing, in which:

In principle, the design of a self-cleaning shovel consists of a handle 1 and a metal blade 3 fixed at one end with a sharpened cutting edge, a tubular clamp 7 and cuffs for placing a leg 2, as well as a cleaning plate 4, which is fixed on a movable handle 5, and a compression spring 6, located between the movable handle around the tubular clamp of the shovel. The movable handle 5 has lateral longitudinal grooves 8.

The movable handle 5 provides movement of the cleaning plate 4 relative to the tubular clamp 7 and the handle 1, and, consequently, the compression and expansion of the compression springs 6, with two degrees of freedom. The overall dimensions of the proposed device are taken in accordance with existing standards for such structures.

The principle of operation of the proposed device: during the operation of the shovel, the cleaning plate 4 is pressed against the tops 2 for setting the leg by means of a movable handle 5 located on top of the released spring 6, surrounding the tubular clamp of the shovel 7. The cleaning of the metal sheet is carried out by the cleaning plate 4, which is moved along the metal sheet 3 from 2 cuffs for setting the leg to the cutting edge and back. To do this, the user pushes the movable handle 5 towards the metal sheet 3, providing compression of the spring 6. In this case, the metal sheet 3 with flaps 2 passes in the longitudinal grooves 8 and serves as one guide for the movable handle 5, and the handle 1 serves as the second guide. The cleaning plate 4 is returned to its original state by unclamping the spring 6 after the user releases the movable handle 5.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to increase the operational characteristics of a self-cleaning shovel, reduce the time and physical effort required to clean the metal sheet, and, consequently, increase the user's productivity.

Claims (1)
