Sugar-beet cutter with beet-leaf conveyer.

摘要

The subject of this invention relates to six-, three- and two-row sugar-beet cutters with beet-leaf conveyers, which divide and store the beet leaves in its purest form. The conveyer (A) is placed in front of a tractor (B) and connected to the driving power (C) which, by a Cardan axle (D), drives a gear-assembly (II) with a driving axle which drives a mechanism (V) for cutting sugar beet and dividing it from its leafs, and devices (III), (IV) and (VI) for transporting beet leaves to the trailer (E) which should be attached to a tractor (B) or cultivator, when the conveyer (A) is used on the sugar-beet fields. A tractor (B) (or cultivator) with conveyer should be placed in the direction of the sugar beet rows, and then a conveyer (A) should be put down to the ground by a hydraulic drive and a lifting mechanism. By turning on the driving power (C), a Cardan axle will transfer the movement to a gear-assembly with a driving axle (II) and to a mechanism (V) for cutting sugar beet and dividing it from its leaves, and the devices (III), (IV) and (VI) for transporting beet leaves to a trailer (E). After that a tractor (B) (or cultivator) may start to move slowly and push the conveyer (A) in the direction of the sugar beet rows with a speed of 4 - 5 km/h. While it is moving, a conveyer (A) with a mechanism (V) will cut the sugar beets and divide them from their leaves, and by devices (III), (IV) and (VI) transport cut-off beet leaves to a trailer (E), which is towed by a tractor (or cultivator).
