Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to agricultural machinery and mainly relates to a beet top removal and recycling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Before harvesting sugar beets, the top leaves and tassels must be removed and disposed of as agricultural waste. With advancements in technology, traditional sugar beet top leaves, rich in nutrients, have become an important source of green fodder for livestock. However, due to design flaws, current sugar beet top-removing machines cannot collect the removed leaves, leaving them scattered in the field, resulting in loss. Therefore, currently, sugar beet top leaf collection still relies on manual labor to cut the leaves from the standing sugar beets before collection and transport. This method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly, representing a significant technical challenge that must be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art and, in combination with the actual needs of sugar beet top removal and recycling operations, to develop and design a sugar beet top removal and recycling machine, so as to achieve high operating efficiency, low collection cost, labor saving, reduced top loss, good top removal effect, and convenience for subsequent sugar beet topping and harvesting.
[0004] The basic design of this utility model is as follows: A rigid tassel-cutting roller, a front flexible tassel-clearing roller, and a rear flexible tassel-clearing roller are rotatably and parallel to each other from front to back on the lower front side of the frame assembly. A wind baffle is installed on the frame assembly between the rear side of the rigid tassel-cutting roller and the front side of the front flexible tassel-clearing roller. A spacer is installed on the frame assembly between the rear side of the front flexible tassel-clearing roller and the front side of the rear flexible tassel-clearing roller. A tassel lifting and conveying device and a tassel collecting box are installed on the upper end of the frame assembly from front to back. The lower end and upper end of the tassel lifting and conveying device are respectively connected to the rigid tassel-cutting roller and the tassel collecting box. This constitutes a beet tassel harvesting and recycling machine.
[0005] This invention achieves an integrated mechanized operation of beet topping and harvesting, featuring a novel, simple, and rational structure. It boasts high efficiency, minimal topping loss, low harvesting costs, and labor savings. The machine provides technical support for subsequent beet topping and harvesting operations. It is applicable to topping and harvesting of various root and tuber crops, exhibiting high versatility and wide applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0009] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. A beet tassel harvesting and recycling machine includes a frame assembly 1. A traction frame 8 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the frame assembly 1. Support wheels 2 are mounted on the lower side of the frame assembly 1. A rigid tassel-cutting roller 7, a front flexible tassel-clearing roller 5, and a rear flexible tassel-clearing roller 3 are rotatably and parallel to each other from front to back on the lower front side of the frame assembly 1. A wind deflector 6 is installed on the frame assembly 1 at the position between the rear side of the rigid tassel-cutting roller 7 and the front side of the front flexible tassel-clearing roller 5. A spacer 4 is installed on the frame assembly 1 at the position between the rear side of the front flexible tassel-clearing roller 5 and the front side of the rear flexible tassel-clearing roller 3. A tassel-lifting conveyor 9 and a tassel-collecting box 10 are installed on the upper end of the frame assembly 1 from front to back. The lower and upper ends of the tassel-lifting conveyor 9 are respectively connected to the rigid tassel-cutting roller 7 and the tassel-collecting box 10.
[0010] During operation, the machine is attached to the rear of a tractor via a towing frame 8, and the entire machine moves forward under the tractor's pull. The clockwise rotating rigid tassel-cutting roller 7 first cuts off most of the tassels from the top of the sugar beets standing on the field. Under centrifugal force, these tassels are sent into the leaf bin at the bottom of the tassel-lifting conveyor 9, where they are lifted and collected in the tassel-collecting box 10. At this time, the wind deflector 6 prevents the tassels from being thrown backward, ensuring that all the cut tassels enter the tassel-lifting conveyor 9. Then, the small amount of tassels remaining on the top of the sugar beets are removed by the counterclockwise rotating front flexible tassel-clearing roller 5 and the clockwise rotating rear flexible tassel-clearing roller 3, and then crushed and returned to the field. This ensures both the quality and effect of sugar beet tassel removal and improves the quality of tassel return to the field. The partition plate 4 helps to balance the working load of the front and rear flexible tassel-clearing rollers 5 and 3 and ensures the uniformity of tassel dispersion in the field.
