Part of wheels of them are made of pivoted flap type and mounted on lever suspensions, and the chassis frame is equipped with a trailer needle and is adapted to connect to the tractor through its hitch attachment according to the scheme of the semitrailer.

Method of non-traumatic loading-unloading of tuberous roots / 2464767

Invention relates to agriculture and can be used to provide a method of non-traumatic loading and unloading tuberous roots from harvesting agricultural machines, such as potato harvesters. The method consists in the fact that flexible diaphragms are the first designed and then made as autonomous structures that can be easily mounted and removed from the body of the vehicle or a tractor trolley. The internal cavity of the said diaphragms is filled with air, equipped with a compressor with an air-filter, safety and outflow valve so that it is actuated only at a certain load, and gradually discharges air from the interior cavity of the diaphragm to the complete use of its height. After that, tuberous roots are transported to the warehouse, and there while unloading the similar flexible diaphragms are used, which are mounted first on self-propelled devices. If necessary, they are rolled under the vehicle or a tractor trolley, the products are unloaded in them, transported in to the desired location in the warehouse and placed for long-term storage. To return the flexible diaphragm to its original state the compressor is actuated, air is injected into the diaphragm to actuating the safety valve, and it is provided that the original form of the flexible diaphragm is not convex, but U-shaped.

Flexible diaphragm / 2465186

Diaphragm for non-traumatic handling of tuberous roots consists of base and frame (1), made as rectangular rigid spatial bar structure with double bottom (2). Walls are made solid and rigidly mounted on bars of base or frame (1). Inside the frame, flexible diaphragm (4) is attached to bottom with possibility to be filled with air from common compressor (5) with control panel (6). To side walls of the frame (1), flexible belt (7) having width equal to diaphragm (4) length is rigidly attached. Near bottom this belt forms narrow loop (8) and passes upwards without being rigidly attached to diaphragm (4) material. At the top, the belt (7) is rigidly attached to diaphragm (4) material and can be made of polyurethane foam or in combination. Profile of diaphragm (4) when being filled with air forms trough shape. At the top of front wall, pneumatic chute is rigidly attached being possible to fold and unfold depending on feeding or removing air to/from it. The chute is made of flexible material, and its outer surface is covered with polyurethane foam. From below, along centerline near the front wall pneumatic cylinder with air stock under pressure of 100-150 MPa inside the cylinder is attached. The cylinder has drain valve and exhaust valve. Cross profile of the chute is trough-shaped. From below of the chute, horizontal rectangular concavity is formed where horizontal rigid link (9) is stretched. Its one end is pivotally attached to the front wall of the said concavity, and the second end is rigidly connected with tape-coil spring. There can be several such devices installed along a wall with equal pitch.

Method of loader-cleaner of root crops and unit for its implementation / 2471334

Group of inventions can be used for cleaning and loading of sugar beet from the field pile into the vehicle. The method of operation of the unit as a part of the tractor and the loader-cleaner of root crops includes periods of presence of the loader-cleaner at the field pile of root crops waiting for the arrival of the vehicle for removal of root crops and periods of operation of the loader-cleaner on arrival of the next vehicle. The root crops, soil impurities, and crop residues are taken from the field pile by the loader-cleaner and sent to the cleaning units. They are then partially purified by movement to the loading elevator, and then loaded into the back of the vehicle. During the periods of presence of the loader-cleaner at the field pile of root crops waiting for the arrival of the vehicle, the root crops and soil impurities are taken from the field pile by the loader-cleaner and sent to the cleaning units, cleaned from impurities and moved to the cross conveyor which places a pile of root crops with the remaining impurities in the new field pile on the opposite side from the loading elevator. Upon arrival of the vehicle the cleaned root crops and remaining impurities are taken from the new field pile, re-cleaned and moved to the loading elevator which loads twice cleaned pile of root crops with reduced remaining impurities in the back of the vehicle.

The invention relates to the field of mechanization of agricultural production, in particular to methods, allowing for the transportation of crops to ensure their purification from impurities.

There is a method that is implemented for root-crops harvesting machine, including removal of roots from the soil, feed the pile on the purifier, spreading it on the cleaner, separation from soil and vegetable matter and unloading of the vehicle [1].

The disadvantages of the existing method of transporting and cleaning roots should be attributed to the low productivity of transportation, low quality of cleaning. They are caused by the fact that transporting and cleaning attachments that are placed inside the machine are layered, and a bunch of cleaned goes a considerable amount of time (30 seconds) is specified operating agencies, which does not provide the required conditions for interaction of each kernelupdate with separating the working body.

Closest to the proposed method is a method, comprising operations of: extracting roots from the soil, transporting and cleaning, which is performed by each row of crops to be extracted from the soil and unloading. After removing them oriented in the longitudinal direction of the head d is [2 - the prototype].

The disadvantage of this method is the low quality of cleaning due to the fact that interaction of roots with cleaning the working bodies of the last clogged with soil. Obviously, the quality of cleaning roots with long-term interaction with cleaning the working bodies is sharply reduced. Particularly undesirable is the case cleaning roots from soil humidity (25-29%). In this case, the sticking of the cleaning elements of the working bodies of soil and a sharp decline in the quality of treatment.

The aim of the invention is the provision of high-quality and efficient cleaning roots from impurities.

To achieve this goal we propose a method of transporting and cleaning roots, providing for the filing of a pile of root and tuber crops, which are oriented in the longitudinal direction of the head forward individually from each row to a special working bodies of the brush type, their interaction with the elements of the purification of the working bodies and further unloading.

This will allow to achieve high quality cleaning roots from the adhering soil (70%) due to the purification driven cylindrical brushes, cleansing items which are in the process of cleaning clogged moist soil. The injury correcional the s almost completely absent.

The device by which it is proposed to implement this method, schematically depicted in figure 1 - General view from above. Figure 2 is given a view of a figure 1.

The proposed device has a conveying goes with element 1, made in the form of trays, the exhaust from each digging authority for individual transport roots of each row, the bases of which can be rod conveyors. Above the conveyor element 1 is driven cylindrical brush 2 with elastic rods. Above the brush is twisted cylindrical tension spring 3 made of wire of round cross-section, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the brushes. One end of the spring fixed to the frame, and the second performs the reciprocating vibratory movement along the axis of the brushes by means of the crank 4 and stage 5 of the mechanisms that leads to its self-cleaning.

In the process dug roots conveying element 1 serving tray-type heads forward into range of the driven cylindrical brushes 2 with elastic rods, which due to the reciprocating vibratory motion twisted cylindrical spring 3 along the axis of the brushes by means of the crank 4 and the rocker 5 mechanisms are cleaned from the adhering soil. Thanks to t the th, what a bunch of root and tuber crops is virtually absent, as they move in a single layer, is more intensive cleansing effect of the working bodies, than if they were moving in the thickness of the pile and randomly.

Other variants of the device for carrying out the method, particularly the combination of the cleansing of the working bodies.

Using this technique will help to improve the quality cleaning roots from the adhering soil by 70%.
