ROTOR ROOT CROP HARVESTER Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: machine has rotary digging-up and separating mechanisms. Every mechanism is provided with cylindrical sections of the body installed sequentially with intervals, transporting rotor with plowshares, and helical separators. The latter are mounted between the sections of the body for rotation in opposite directions. The adjacent sections of the body are coupled to one another by radial connectors and trays forming the bodies of the drive reduction gears of the rotor sections and bearing supports. The bodies of the reduction gears accommodate a drive shaft with gears. EFFECT: more efficient root crop harvesting. 4 cl, 11 dwg
