MULTICHANNEL DRIVE FOR SELF-CONTROLLABLE CAROUSEL MECHANISMS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: drive has several conveyor parts and tubular shafts with stepwise shift of speeds and direction of operation. They are kinematically linked with the mechanisms. The conveyor parts and tubular shafts are mounted in a tubular post of the body attached to the carousel base. Each tubular shaft is in engagement with the reverse gearwheels by means of the main shaft and several auxiliary shafts provided with a self-contained reduction gear. The main and auxiliary shafts have solenoid couplings for direct and reverse rotation. They also have stop catches with carriers. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 dwg
