DEVICE FOR CUTTING ROOT CROPS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A23N15/00 B26D3/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture. The device contains a fixed cylindrical body with end walls, between which there is a holder. The end walls and the holder are interconnected by bolted connections. There is a loading window in the wall. In the lower part of the housing, on one side, there is a movable section connected to the housing cage by a hinged mechanism, and on the other hand, a knife is attached to the cage using countersunk bolts and nuts. The gap between the knife and the moving section is adjusted using two tensioners, each of which includes a tie bolt and two nuts. A shaft passes through the center of the housing, rotating in bearing assemblies, which are bolted to the end walls. Four symmetrically arranged X-shaped carriers are rigidly fixed to the shaft, each of which has a swivel joint with an L-shaped clamp at one end. To adjust the gap between the L-shaped clamp and the cage, there is an adjusting mechanism consisting of a bolt, two nuts and a bracket. The L-shaped clamp on the inner side along the edges has lugs with holes through which the axis passes, pivotally connecting the clamp with two carriers. The axis moves in the through grooves of the carrier and rotates in the sliding bearing units.

EFFECT: expansion of the technological capabilities of the proposed device is provided, which consists in simplifying its design while increasing the reliability and quality of service during operation, as well as increasing productivity while maintaining the cutting thickness.
