DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 25 In this detailed description, the preferred configurations of the grass rake (A) which is the subject of the invention, purely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and without any limiting influence. It is explained in a way that will not create a problem. Hay rakes (A) are used to collect grass, stalks and debris left behind after harvest in areas such as fields or meadows. Agriculture that involves collecting plant residues and creating neat rows (pastures, rows). These are machines. These machines are usually attached to a towing vehicle such as a tractor and towed. It is operated in this way. During operation, the rake's wheels or conveyor system move against the machine. As it moves forward, it forces the rake teeth or wires to rotate. The rake teeth are 35 (or wires), by making contact with the grass and plant debris on the ground, gently lift them up and It accumulates them in a specific line by dragging them sideways. During this accumulation process... The grasses are usually pushed to one side and arranged in neat rows (in the field, a "pasture" or "grass row"). (known as) is being created. The rake (A) wires (2) are to make contact with the ground with a certain flexibility and angle. It is designed so that it does not drag on the ground and also neatly distributes the grass. 5 They can grasp and direct it. Thanks to the flexible structure of the strings, they can do this without breaking the necks. It can be harvested gently and adapts to rough terrain conditions, providing uninterrupted service. It is capable of exhibiting collection performance. The working principle of the hay rake is as follows: the machine's The forward movement of the rake's bristles or teeth causes these bristles to move along the grass on the ground. The principle of grasping, lifting, and dragging in a specific direction to form neat rows is 10 This process is based on facilitating post-harvest operations and subsequent processes such as baling. These steps are taken to increase efficiency in the various stages. Figure 1 shows the general view of the grass rake (A) which is the subject of the invention. Figure 2 shows a detailed view of the grass-collecting rake circle (A) which is the subject of the invention. This 15 In the images, the rotating circles of the rake or the central point where the fingers are attached the hoop (1), the wire (2) that makes the grasses into a neat row, the circle (3) where the wire is placed, the wire (2) The components include washers (4), bolts (5) and nuts (6) that enable the hub (1) to be joined. The grass rake (A) is a 20-inch rake that functions efficiently through the combined action of many different elements. It is an agricultural machine. Each of these elements contributes to the overall performance and durability of the machine. It plays an important role in terms of the hub (1), the rotating circles (3) of the rake (A) located in the center and serving as both the mechanical connection point and the carrier of rotational movement. It is a critical part. It ensures the smooth rotation of the circle (3) and the wires (2) attached to it. By providing this, it both carries the load and controls this movement. In this way, 25 The machine operates in a balanced manner, vibration is minimized and wear is reduced. Hub (1), It also offers a robust mounting surface for rotating parts. Existing automotive parts... The hub (1) of the (A) collecting rakes has a fine structure and consists of more than one part. This structure has low strength and repair is required in case of wire breakage (2). It is difficult. With the developed structure, the hub (1) is made of a single piece and thicker material 30 By doing this, its strength is increased. Wire (2) are rake teeth that do the grass picking work directly. These are usually made of steel wire. The spring-loaded elements gently grip the grass by making contact with the ground through the rotational movement of the rake (A), It lifts the wire from the ground and brings it into line. The elastic structure of the wire (2) is compatible with the ground 35 It ensures that the work is done and that the harvesting is done effectively without damaging the plants. This allows for the formation of high-quality hay bales, thus ensuring an efficient baling process. 6 It passes through. The part where the existing wires (2) are connected to the hub (1) is known as the J type. It has a hook-shaped structure. This structure is used during assembly or weed harvesting. For this reason, the wires (2) can detach from their mounting points or break at the joint. With the developed structure, these wires (2) are thicker (preferably) in order to increase their strength. 7-9 mm) are produced. Also, instead of J type, ring 5 is used in the part where the wires (2) are joined to the hub (1). A type of structure is used. In this way, the wires (2) do not come out of the mounting places or the joint This prevents them from breaking at the joints. The hoop (3) is where the wire teeth are mounted and which enables the machine to rotate and collect the grass. It is the large ring-shaped part. The ring (3) rotates through the hub (1) and the wire (2) 10 It ensures that the elements move continuously on the ground. The dimension and angle of the circle (3), It directly affects the machine's sweeping width and collection pattern. This structure determines the rake's... (A) By assisting in symmetrical operation, it contributes to the formation of regular and balanced grass rows. It is located. Used under fasteners such as washers (4), nuts (6) and bolts (5) for tightening. This ensures that the force is distributed evenly across the machine surface. This applies to both the surface and the It prevents deformation and contributes to the longevity of the connections. The nut (6) is tightened onto the ends of the bolts (5) to keep the machine parts fixed. It is the basic connecting element. When used with washer (4), load balance is ensured. 20 and resistance to vibration is increased. Machine connections thanks to nuts (6) It is demountable, which makes maintenance and parts replacement easier. These elements together... by working to ensure the hay rake operates efficiently, safely, and for a long time. Each ensures the maintenance of both mechanical and functional integrity. It is indispensable in terms of fasteners such as washers (4), bolts (5), nuts (6) and hubs (1) 25 The end part of the wire (2) formed as a loop type is connected to the wire. All this structure thanks to which the grass rake (A) is more durable and assembly / disassembly operations are easier This ensures that the process is completed faster. This extends the product's lifespan. is being increased. The scope of protection in this application is defined in the claims section and is explicitly stated above.
