Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to a potato soil separation device for a potato harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes are a major crop in my country, especially in mountainous and hilly areas. They are both a staple and a cash crop, exhibiting unique advantages in deep processing. Besides being consumed as a vegetable, potatoes can be processed into starch, strips, slices, mashed potatoes, dextrin, vermicelli, etc., possessing high economic value and serving as a major source of income for farmers in central and western China. However, with the expansion of planting areas, potato harvesting has become a significant problem. Previously, manual harvesting was used, which was labor-intensive and inefficient. In recent years, potato harvesters have been increasingly adopted in agricultural production, greatly reducing the burden on workers.

[0003] Most existing technologies use vibrating screens to separate potatoes from soil, while some small harvesters directly separate potatoes from soil using rotating drums. The separated potatoes fall directly into a collection basket placed at the drum's discharge port. However, the potatoes fall in roughly the same position, resulting in uneven distribution of potatoes in the collection basket. This requires manual spreading of the potatoes to ensure the utilization rate of the collection basket, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

The middle part of the rotating drum 103 is composed of several interlaced steel bars, which form a soil screening gap to facilitate the separation of soil and potatoes. Spiral blades 104 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating drum 103 to convey potatoes. The installation assembly includes two mounting seats 101 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. A rotating shaft 102 is rotatably connected between the two mounting seats 101. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 102 is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 103 via several spokes.

[0025] The frame 1 is also equipped with a drive assembly, which is used to drive the rotating drum 103 to rotate. The drive assembly includes a mounting bracket 201 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. A rotary motor 202 is bolted to the mounting bracket 201. A belt 203 is connected between the output shaft of the rotary motor 202 and the rotating shaft 102 through a pulley. When the rotary motor 202 is started, the rotating shaft 102 is driven to rotate the rotating drum 103 and the spiral blade 104 through the transmission between the pulley and the belt 203.

[0026] A collection mechanism is provided at the discharge port of the rotary drum 103. The collection mechanism includes a base plate 302 fixedly connected to the frame 1 and a connecting frame 301. The connecting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the base plate 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 301. A storage frame 303 is placed on the top of the base plate 302. A sliding seat 401 is slidably connected to the top of the base plate 302. The storage frame 303 is placed on the top of the sliding seat 401. A limiting component is provided on the top of the sliding seat 401. The limiting component is used to limit the storage frame 303. The limiting component includes multiple sets of limiting rods 402. The limiting rods 402 are inserted into the top of the sliding seat 401 and are distributed on both sides of the storage frame 303.

[0027] A power assembly is also provided on the base plate 302. The power assembly is used to drive the sliding seat 401 to move the storage frame 303 back and forth. The power assembly includes a stepper motor 403 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 302. A turntable 404 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 403. A connecting rod 405 is hinged between the top of the turntable 404 and the sliding seat 401. The end of the connecting rod 405 that is hinged to the turntable 404 is eccentrically set.

[0028] Working principle: In use, the potato-soil separation device is fixed to a suitable position on the harvester via frame 1. The potatoes and soil dug out by the harvester are pushed into the rotating drum 103. The rotary motor 202 is started, and the rotating shaft 102 drives the rotating drum 103 to rotate through the transmission between the pulley and belt 203. The soil is sieved out through the soil screening gap in the middle of the rotating drum 103, while the potatoes fall into the collection frame 303 placed at the discharge port of the rotating drum 103 under the conveying of the spiral blades 104. The potatoes are then harvested. Before harvesting potatoes, the storage frame 303 is placed on the sliding seat 401 and locked between the limiting rods 402. The limiting rods 402 limit the storage frame 303. When harvesting potatoes, the stepper motor 403 is started, which drives the turntable 404 to rotate. As the turntable 404 rotates, it drives the sliding seat 401 to move the storage frame 303 back and forth through the connecting rod 405, shaking the potatoes in the storage frame 303 evenly, avoiding manual leveling and improving efficiency.
