FIELD: agriculture.
SUBSTANCE: machine for gathering plant roots has a frame, tow bar, front axis with a wheel, rear axis with wheels, load platform with lateral and rear boards, hydraulic actuator for the load platform, mounted on the front part of the frame and equipped with actuators for rotation and lifting and a rotor with tow hooks and an inclined conveyer fitted one after the other. The inclined conveyer in form of infinite branches of bush-roller chains and planks is sectional. Each section is fitted between tow hooks of the main, intermediate and secondary rotors. Each section of the inclined conveyer is mounted through pairs of sprockets, fitted between tow hooks of the main and secondary rotors. The sprockets are fixed, for example, by tapered keys on rotor hubs. The diameter of the tow hooks is 2-3 times bigger than the diameter of the pitch circle of the inclined conveyer. The frequency of rotation of the intermediate rotor, fitted between the main and secondary rotors, is more than the frequency of rotation of the main rotor by 3-4 times. The sectional inclined conveyer with rotors is mounted on an auxiliary frame and is mounted on the frame of the machine through hinge joints and hydraulic actuator lifting. Fitted with provision for rotation about the horizontal axis, perpendicular to the direction of motion of the machine, the load platform is made in form of diametrical buckets, fitted on the same hollow axle-journal. One of the buckets is in the loading mode, while the other is in the evacuation mode. On one journal potion of the axle-journal, a star wheel is mounted with limited angular displacement, as well as a hinged arm with a releasing cam, swinging on the journal, intermeshed with the star wheel. The other end of the swinging arm is joined by pin to the rod of the hydraulic actuator of the load platform.
EFFECT: reduced quantity of mineral dirt in the root mass of licorice.
