DEVICE FOR WASHING ROOT CROPS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A23N12/02 B08B3/04 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agricultural engineering. The device contains a washing tank, a disk with activator blades and a screw enclosed in a casing installed in it on a vertical drive shaft, as well as an upper additional and lower main nozzle. The intake part of the casing is made of vertically spaced metal rods in the form of a perforated cylinder passing through the hole of the upper additional nozzle, which is a hollow truncated straight circular cone fixed with the larger base downwards concentrically to the perforated cylinder. The lower main nozzle is located under the upper additional nozzle and right next to it, and it is made in the form of a hollow truncated straight circular cone with the larger base directed upwards with double walls of its side surface, forming a cavity for water supply from the pump through the pipeline. The inner wall of the lateral conical surface of the lower main nozzle is perforated, thereby forming a conical annular sprinkler. The upper additional nozzle is also made with double walls of its side surface, forming a cavity for water supply through the pipeline from the pump. The inner wall of the lateral conical surface of the named nozzle is perforated, thereby forming a conical annular sprinkler. The angles of inclination of the generatrixes of the inner lateral conical surfaces to the horizon in the vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation of the shaft, the upper additional nozzle and the lower main nozzle are 60 and 45 degrees, respectively.

EFFECT: improved quality of root crop washing is provided.
