Abstract

This invention relates to a root-harvester root cleaner. The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of cleaning of root crops from tops, mainly fodder beets. The root cleaner from the foliage on the root contains a horizontal shaft 1 with axles 3, on which sections of cleaning elements 5 and 6 are fixed. Cleaning elements 5. having a greater length than cleaning elements 6, are located along shaft 1 with a large pitch compared to cleaning elements 6. When the cleaner works, the longer cleaning elements 5 act on the heads of the root crops, and the cleaning elements 6 mainly affect the tops of the roots. 2 Il. AND

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to agricultural machinery, in particular, to the root cleaners of root crops.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of cleaning root crops from tops, mainly fodder beets.

In Fig.1 schematically depicts a cleaner of root crops from foliage on the vine, plan; figure 2 - section aa in figure 1.

Root or root foliage cleaner consists of a horizontal shaft 1. On which, by means of brackets 2 and axes 3, sections 4 of cleaning elements 5 and 6 are installed in holders 4, having a circular cross section in the transverse direction,

The cleaning elements 5, located on the same axis 3, the free ends of which are as far as possible from the axis of rotation (figure 2) by the value RI, are interconnected with a step ti (figure 1). The adjacent sections of the cleaning elements 6, located on the axis x 3 in the cage 4, have a smaller protrusion height of the free end of the elements 6 (value R2). With this ego, the cleaning elements 6 are interconnected with a step t2, the value of which is less than the step size ti between the elements 5.

The cleaner works as follows.

When the shaft 1 rotates, the cleaning elements 5 and 6 rotate respectively. When the latter interact with the tops, the root crops are cleaned. The cleaning elements 6, the ends of which are located on a smaller radius of rotation R2, are adjusted to clean only the tops and do not interact even with highly located root crops. Cleaning elements 5, the ends of which are located on a larger radius during cleaning, interact with the roots, clearing them (fig.Z).

Due to the fact that the frequency of the location of the cleaning elements 6 is greater than the elements of 5, the cleaners 6 will clog the tops with high efficiency without directly interacting with the roots. If the ends of elements 6 are located on the same radius with elements 5, then the roots of the fodder beet are knocked out of the soil, where the roots are mostly located above the soil. Only elements with a large pitch can interact with the roots, which in this case is performed by the cleaners 5, the pitch between which is greater than the pitch between the elements 6.

Thus, the elements b with a greater frequency of location and installed on a smaller radius of cleaning produce hauling of the tops, and elements of 5 with a smaller frequency of arrangement and installed on a larger radius of rotation clean the eye.

Invention Formula The root cleaner from the foliage on the root, containing a horizontal shaft, carrying sections of cleaning elements, the free ends of which are installed at different distances relative to the axis of rotation of the shaft, differing in that. that, in order to improve the quality of cleaning of root crops from tops, mainly fodder beets, cleaning elements, the free ends of which are further removed with respect to the axis of rotation of the shaft, are installed with a large step in the direction along the shaft compared to the step in the same direction of cleaning elements, the free ends of which are located at a smaller distance from the axis of rotation of the shaft, while the cleaning elements of each of the sections are mounted on axes fixed on a horizontal shaft.
