DEVICE FOR WASHING ROOT CROPS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A23N12/02 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural engineering, in particular to devices for washing root crops. A device for washing root crops is proposed. The substance of the invention lies in the fact that it additionally contains a hopper for preliminary soaking of root crops and a sprayer with a drain pipe. At the same time, the bath is made with the formation of a bunker - a blind flat partition from the side of the loading window. The bunker is equipped with an unloading window with a shutter equipped with a screw mechanism for its drive, which includes a screw pair "nut-screw". Moreover, the nut is rigidly attached to the partition in its upper part, and the screw is formed on the damper shaft. The lower part of this shaft is fixed in the shutter with the possibility of free rotation in it, and a handle is attached to its upper part. At the same time, the length of the screw part and its location on the damper shaft make it possible to install the damper both in the lower and in the upper position.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to create a device that provides an improved quality of washing root crops due to its additional equipment with a hopper and a sprayer for preliminary washing and soaking of root crops, as well as a drain pipeline.
