TUBEROUS ROOTS ACCUMULATOR-FEEDER Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01K5/02 A23N17/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture. Proposed device comprises hopper accommodating lengthwise conveyor. In the device, the two-axle frame tractor trailer with a front rotary axle consists of an all-metal hopper of rectangular shape, conical bottom part accommodates horizontal chain-scraper conveyor. In the rear part of the hopper there is a gate with a hydraulic drive to regulate the flow of tuberous roots, the opening and closing of which is carried out from the tractor cabin. Inclined chain-scraper conveyor is hinged to the lower rear part of the frame, which consists of a box-shaped casing of rectangular shape with a traction tool. In the lower part there is a chute gate with a manual drive. Pulling element of chain conveyors is a chain consisting of two branches, which is actuated by means of a drive sprocket. Chain branches are supported by means of rollers on it on guides fixed at intervals on the carrying frame of the conveyor. Conveyor inclination to horizon is performed by means of two hydraulic cylinders located on both sides of rectangular casing. Drive of conveyors of the accumulator-feeder of tuberous roots is independent from each other and is carried out from the power take-off shaft of the tractor and chain transmission.

EFFECT: reduced metal consumption and overall dimensions, higher operational reliability of the accumulator-feeder for tuberous roots and quality of the ready fodder at minimum power and labor costs.
