SU770449A1 - Device for separating hop strobile from branches - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to agricultural machinery.

A device for separating hop cones from branches according to the main ed. St. No. 209899, containing combing conveyor with elastic fingers, ₅ located under the slatted feeding conveyor [1].

A disadvantage of the known device is incomplete combing of hop cones from torn branches.

This is due to the fact that 10 of the torn branches and clusters in the device hangs on the stops of the feeding conveyor and is held by them during the entire cycle of separation of the cones. Cones on the branches and clusters located directly near the stops do not fall into the area of combing and are rejected, resulting in irretrievable losses.

In addition, separate torn and non-inseparable buds, as well as branches and clusters removed from the stops, are brought to the device by elastic stripper fingers and also increase product losses.

The aim of the invention is to reduce the loss of hop cones.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the device is equipped with a flap installed at the bottom with an elastic apron and grooves installed behind the stripping conveyor.

The device consists of a feed conveyor 1 chain-slat type, stripper 2 installed above it and a beater 3.

On the strips 4 of the feeding conveyor, horizontal fingers 5 are installed with a given pitch, forming together with the slats a lattice surface for separation, and stops 6. The scrubber is designed as two elastic conveyors 8 fixed on the frame 7 with 9 elastic fingers fixed on the slats 10,

passing between the stops of the feed conveyor.

Behind the conveyors rigidly on the frame are fixed the flaps 11, having in the lower part elastic aprons 12 with grooves 13 for the passage of the stops of the feeding conveyor.

A device for combing hop cones works as follows.

Pine cones and bunches are fed to the feeding conveyor 1 and are moved by stops 6 of the feeding conveyor under the working branch of the conveyor 8 of the scrubber 2. Vertical stops of the feeding conveyor hold the branches with bunches in the time of combing. Torn off cones wake up through a lattice surface formed by horizontal fingers 5 and transverse strips 4 of the conveyor. The branches and clusters that hang on the vertical stops 6 of the conveyor 1 and partially processed by combing elastic fingers 10 of the first combing conveyor 8 pass under the first flap 11 and elastic apron 12, are removed from the stops, and then moved to the zone of the second combing conveyor 8, where they again hang on the stops, striking the flap 11, are reflected and also hang on the stops

for secondary scraping with the second combing conveyor.

Loose cones, picked up by elastic fingers 10 of the conveyor 8, hit the flap, fall on the grating 5 surface of the feeding conveyor, wake up through the cells and go for additional processing. Processed branches, coming out from under the second flap, the beater 3 is removed from the stops 6 and sent to

waste.

The placement of the damper behind the stripping conveyor reduces the loss of hop cones, thereby increasing the fullness of the harvest.
