[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of potato production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an expanded-capacity crawler-type potato machine. Background Technology

[0002] A potato digging harvester is a machine primarily used to excavate potatoes from the soil. The digging device is specially designed to penetrate deep into the soil and remove the potatoes intact, minimizing damage. The excavated potatoes are then conveyed to the rear of the machine by a conveyor system for manual collection or further processing. Some digging harvesters are also equipped with a simple separating device to initially separate the potatoes from the soil, improving harvesting efficiency.

[0003] Current potato machines still have the following shortcomings:

[0004] Traditional equipment is not effective at separating potatoes from soil impurities. A large amount of soil adheres to the surface of the potatoes, which not only increases the difficulty of subsequent cleaning, but may also cause the potatoes to rot due to humidity during storage. This increases the transportation burden and causes soil erosion, and has significant limitations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an expanded-capacity tracked potato machine, which solves the problem that traditional equipment mentioned in the background art is ineffective in separating potatoes from soil impurities. The potatoes have a large amount of soil adhering to their surface, which not only increases the difficulty of subsequent cleaning but may also cause the potatoes to rot due to humidity during storage, increasing transportation pressure and causing soil erosion.

[0006] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model, an expanded-capacity tracked potato machine, are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0007] An expandable tracked potato machine includes: a track base; both sides of the rear wall of the track base are provided with screw holes, and the inner side of the track base has four sets of through circular slots arranged in a rectangular array; a set of cylindrical slide rods are slidably arranged in each of the four sets of circular slots on the inner side of the track base, and springs are sleeved on the outer side of the slide rods; a set of rectangular plate mounting plates are fixedly arranged on the top of every two sets of slide rods; a cam is rotatably arranged on one side of the top of the track base; a first motor is fixedly arranged on one side of the top of the track base, and the first motor is connected to the cam drive.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0025] This utility model provides an expandable tracked potato machine, including: a track base 1; both sides of the rear wall of the track base 1 are provided with screw holes, and the inner side of the track base 1 is provided with four sets of through circular slots in a rectangular array; a set of cylindrical slide rods 104 are slidably arranged in each of the four sets of circular slots on the inner side of the track base 1, and springs are sleeved on the outer side of the slide rods 104; a set of rectangular plate mounting plates 105 are fixedly arranged on the top of every two sets of slide rods 104; a cam 108 is rotatably arranged on one side of the top of the track base 1; a first motor 109 is fixedly arranged on one side of the top of the track base 1, and the first motor 109 is connected to the cam 108 in a transmission connection; the linkage design between the cam 108 and the conveyor belt 106 causes the conveyor belt 106 to vibrate, which can further remove the soil adhering to the surface of the potatoes during the process of conveying on the conveyor belt 106 and the conveyor roller 107.

[0026] Among them, a scraper 101 is fixedly installed on the front side of the track base 1, and the scraper 101 is inclined; a set of first connecting blocks 102 with U-shaped block structure are fixedly installed on both sides of the rear wall of the track base 1, and a through screw hole structure is opened on one side of the first connecting block 102.

[0027] The track base 1 has a mounting head 103 fixedly installed at the top center, and a through-hole structure is provided on one side of the mounting head 103; a set of conveyor belts 106 are rotatably installed between the two sets of mounting plates 105 on the left and right sides; cylindrical conveyor rollers 107 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals between the two sets of conveyor belts 106 on the left and right sides; when the potato machine is in operation, the first motor 109 starts, drives the cam 108 to rotate, and the cam 108 pushes the mounting plate 105 to move up and down, causing the conveyor belt 106 to vibrate; at the same time, the second motor 113 drives the conveyor belt 106 to run, and transports the potatoes scraped by the scraper 101 to the rear. The potatoes jump continuously on the vibrating conveyor belt 106, further separating them from soil and other impurities, and then fall into the collection tank 111.

[0028] The second motor 113 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting plate 105, and the second motor 113 is connected to the conveyor belt 106 for transmission.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0030] The first motor 109 is started, causing the cam 108 to rotate. The cam 108 periodically applies force to the mounting plate 105, causing the mounting plate 105 and the slide bar 104 to bounce up and down along the inner side of the track base 1, thereby causing the conveyor belt 106 to vibrate. At the same time, the second motor 113 is started, driving the conveyor belt 106 to run, connecting the track base 1 to the drive equipment, and making it move forward along the planned work route. The scraper 101 located on the front side of the track base 1 scrapes the potatoes from the soil and conveys the mixture of potatoes and soil onto the conveyor belt 106. Driven by the conveyor belt 106, the mixture of potatoes and soil moves backward. During this process, the vibration of the conveyor belt 106 further removes the soil adhering to the surface of the potatoes, realizing the separation of potatoes from soil and other impurities. The separated potatoes fall from the conveyor belt 106 and enter the collection trough 111, completing the entire potato recycling and cleaning process. This can minimize the soil adhering to the potatoes, making subsequent recycling and cleaning work easier, and also reducing soil erosion.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0032] Among them, a set of cylindrical mounting rods 110 are installed in the screw holes on both sides of the rear wall of the track base 1 through threaded connection, and the front end of the mounting rod 110 has a threaded structure, and the rear end of the mounting rod 110 has a screw hole structure.

[0033] Among them, a U-shaped plate structure collection groove 111 is slidably connected between the left and right sets of mounting rods 110; the top of the collection groove 111 is fixedly provided with four sets of U-shaped block structures of second connecting blocks 112 in a rectangular array, and a through screw hole structure is opened on one side of the second connecting block 112.

[0034] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0035] In this invention, when the number of collection troughs 111 needs to be adjusted according to the output, the mounting rods 110 can be installed on both sides of the rear wall of the track base 1 through threaded connection. An appropriate number of mounting rods 110 can be assembled as needed. A set of rear mounting rods 110 can be installed on a set of front mounting rods 110 through threaded connection. Then, an appropriate number of collection troughs 111 can be passed through the outer sides of the two sets of mounting rods 110. The second connecting blocks 112 on both sides of the frontmost set of collection troughs 111 contact the two sets of first connecting blocks 102 on both sides of the rear of the track base 1, and are fixedly connected by bolts. Then, the second connecting blocks 112 on both sides of the front and rear sets of collection troughs 111 contact each other, and the front and rear sets of collection troughs 111 are fixedly connected by bolts, completing the entire assembly process. This allows for an increase in the number of collection troughs 111 as needed. After potatoes enter the collection troughs 111 via the conveyor belt 106, they can be manually pushed into the rear collection troughs 111, facilitating the collection of potatoes with different outputs and meeting different production needs.
