Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato harvesting technology, specifically a potato harvesting and screening device. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes, also known as spuds, are a widely cultivated tuber vegetable belonging to the nightshade family (Solanaceae). They are rich in starch, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and minerals, and are commonly used to make various dishes such as French fries, mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes.

[0003] Potatoes need to be screened according to size during harvesting. Existing technology relies on manual screening of potatoes by size, which is inefficient and significantly increases labor costs, thus hindering potato production. Therefore, we propose a potato harvesting and screening device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a potato harvesting and screening device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that potatoes need to be screened according to different sizes during harvesting. The existing technology screens potatoes manually according to size, which is inefficient and greatly increases labor costs, thus hindering potato production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a potato collecting and screening device, including a base, a screening box, and further including a cleaning component, a limiting component, and a screening component. The cleaning component and the limiting component are both installed on the top of the screening box, and the screening component is installed on the bottom of the screening box. The screening component performs screening when potatoes fall into the screening box.

[0006] Preferably, the screening assembly includes a rectangular trough, a frame, circular rollers, and handles. The bottom of the screening box is detachably connected to three longitudinal frames. Handles are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the three frames. Rectangular troughs are opened inside the three frames. Circular rollers at equal intervals are movably connected to the inner walls of the rectangular troughs. The gap between adjacent circular rollers inside the three frames gradually decreases.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a motor, gears, bristles, and rollers. Three equally spaced rollers are movably connected to the top of the screening box. Circumferentially arranged bristles are glued to the surfaces of the three rollers. The three rollers are connected by gears meshing on their end faces. The rollers are connected to the motor output terminal outside the screening box.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes an electric telescopic rod and a baffle. The screening box is provided with symmetrical baffles inside, and the baffles are connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod outside the screening box.

[0009] Preferably, a conveyor belt is provided at the top of the screening box below the roller, a roller shaft is provided inside the conveyor belt, and a pulley is provided outside the roller shaft. The pulley is connected to the output end of the motor via a belt.

[0010] Preferably, a collection rack is detachably connected to the bottom of the screening box.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model sets three sets of longitudinal frames at the bottom of the screening box. The rectangular grooves inside the frames are separated by a certain gap. After the potatoes fall into the frame, potatoes larger than the gap between the rollers are screened. Slightly smaller potatoes fall into the lower frame and are screened by rollers with slightly smaller gaps. Even smaller potatoes are screened by rollers with even smaller gaps, thus realizing the screening of potatoes. After screening, the frames can be disassembled to collect the screened potatoes separately.

[0013] 2. This utility model features a conveyor belt installed at the top inside the screening box. Above the conveyor belt are three rollers with circumferentially arranged bristles, spaced at equal intervals. Symmetrical baffles inside the screening box limit the movement of the conveyor belt on both sides. A motor outside the screening box simultaneously drives the three rollers and the conveyor belt to rotate. The rotating bristles clean the soil and impurities from the surface of the potatoes rolling on the conveyor belt. The cleaned soil and impurities fall into the collection rack at the bottom of the screening box, thus cleaning the potatoes before screening and facilitating subsequent processing.
