SU43235A1 - Root cutting centrifugal type - Google Patents

Description

Centrifugal-type root cutters are known, consisting of a drum rotating on a vertical axis with knives fixed on a side surface. According to the invention, the drum cavity of such a root cutter has peripheral star-shaped channels, the mouth of which is blocked by vertically and horizontally positioned knives, which cut the root crops fed from the center through the marked channels by the action of centrifugal force. The second distinguishing feature of the root cutter is the use of rotating blades, which serve to drop the cutting from the moving bottom of the hopper into the receiving tray.

In FIG. 1 shows a side view of a root cutter with a partial cut; FIG. 2 - top view of it.

The root cutter is mainly a drum 7, the cavity of which circumferentially has star-shaped channels 9 with mouths 2 around the circumference, the edges of which have grooves 3. The frames 4 are inserted into these grooves, carrying vertical knives 5 and horizontal 6 The knives are fastened together with the help of bolts 8, and in the intervals between the knives they are fixed (145)

There are pads, the thickness of which must correspond to the required distance between the knives. The assembled knives are mounted in frames 4, which are provided with handles 7, serving to set the frames in the slots 3. In the upper part of the drum / there is a hole JO. Above this hole is placed a loading hopper //, which is mounted either directly on the drum J and has a rotational movement with it, or is fixed on the bed of the root cutter and remains stationary when the drum 7 rotates. In addition, there are holes 72 in the upper end part of the drum, which are located around its circumference against frames 4 with knives and serve to facilitate access to the knives during their cleaning. In its lower part, the drum / is surrounded by a receiving hopper having an annular shape. In the left part of FIG. 1 and 2 of the drawing, the receiving hopper is shown in one form of execution, and in the right part - in the other.

In the first embodiment, the annular hopper M has a movable bottom 15 attached to a rotating rim J6 around the axis of the drum 7. In one or several places on the side of the bunker M there is an inclined receiving tray 17. For

In this version of the hopper, blades 75 rotating on the vertical axis are used to drop the cutting into the tray 17, raking the cutting from the movable bottom 15.

In the second embodiment (the right part of Figs. 1 and 2), the bottom 19 of the ring hopper 20 is fixed and provided with receiving trays 27. Cutting is dropped into these trays by blades 22 mounted on a rim 23 rotating around the axis of the drum 7.

The roots loaded into the bunker 77 fall to the bottom of the fast-rotating drum 7 and by the action of centrifugal force are fed through the channels 9 to the radially located knives 5 and 6 and are crushed, pushing through them. The crushed roots fall into the receiving hopper from the outer part of the drum, from which the blades 75 are sent to the receiving trays.

The subject matter of the invention.

Claims (2)

1. A centrifugal-type corner cutter consisting of a drum rotated on a vertical axis with knives fixed on a side surface, characterized in that the cavity of drum 7 has peripherally arranged channels 9 at the periphery, the output mouths of which 2 are provided with radially mounted horizontal knives 5 knives 6, designed for cutting root vegetables fed to these knives from the center-to-channels 9 by the action of centrifugal force. 2. The shape of the root cutter according to claim 1, characterized in that the blades 75 rotating on the vertical axis are used to drop the cutting from the moving receiver 75 into the chute 77 which discharges this cutting.
