SEPARATING APPARATUS FOR ROOT HARVESTING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: separating apparatus has case, frame, rod surface and stirring members. Frame with rod surface is mounted on case guides for longitudinal displacement and is connected thereto on one side by means of springs and on other side through connecting rod equipped with finger located in diametrical slot with side slots at ends of disk urged for rotation. Part of rods of rod surface are mounted for rotation in frame side walls, and each of said rods is rigidly connected to two adjacent rods and lever through finger located in vertical slot of case. Top collecting rod drum and top removal rod surface are additionally mounted on frame. Rods of rod drum are rigidly fixed on rotary shafts whose angle of revolution depends on position of fingers rigidly connected to said shafts and adapted for moving over profiled surface of copying device. Rod surface is inclined downward with respect to drum axis. EFFECT: increased separating efficiency and simplified construction. 1 dwg
