UA109350C2 - Unit for transporting and cleaning tuberous roots - Google Patents

Abstract

The field of application: agricultural engineering, in particular working elements of potato harvesters. A unit for transporting and cleaning tuberous roots consists of the following elements interconnected therebetween: a frame, a feeding conveyer, a baffle brush, a hollow cleaner, which has in the middle a hollow cylindrical ring of the oval cross-section, which is connected with a drive of rotational movement and formed by round rods, mounted with the gaps, inside of which a drive pile scatterer is mounted, and also said unit is completed with a blanket cleaner and an unloading conveyer. Inside of the hollow cleaner, which is shaped as a flattened ellipsoid of rotation, the pile scatterer is mounted. The latter is made as a whole cone, with the vertex arranged upwards, fixed at the end of a console driving shaft mounted inside of the hollow cleaner from below. In doing so, at the level of the base of the scatterer, around perimeter thereof, on the horizontal axes, drive four-blade beaters, which are kinematically connected with the drive to ensure their rotational movement downwards, are mounted. The technical result: an increase in the quality of cleaning tuberous roots of dirt.
