SHELL-SEPARATING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has a frame and receiving rollers, and shell rollers 3 mounted on it. The base of shell roller 3 is tube 5 of cylindrical cross section with longitudinal cuts according to the number of blades 6 fastened to tube 6 behind the cut down the roller rotation. Blade 6 ends in limiting platform 7. Adaptor 8 which front end carries projection 9 is fastened to tube 5 ahead of each cut. The front ends of adaptor 8 and projection 9 form combing edge 10. Slot 11 is a clearance between limiting platform 7 and combing edge 10. The structure stiffness is provided by guide plate 12 inclined to the plane of rotation of roller 3, the guide plate fastens together the back end of blade 6, tube 5 and the front end of adaptor 8. Guide strips 13 are fastened to the inner surface of tube 5 at an angle to the plane of rotation of roller 3. These guides are used for displacement of the shelled heap with grains along the axis of roller 3 and its discharge from the inner cavity of the roller. EFFECT: improved structure. 7 dwg
