MACHINE FOR TREATING FOLIAGE OF IRISH POTATO

摘要

PURPOSE:To enhance operation efficiently and make operation cost is expensive without dropping the fine pieces obtained by finely cutting foliages of Irish potatoes by collecting the cut fine pieces between ridges and then dropping the cut fine pieces. CONSTITUTION:A bracket 27 fixed so as to be able to control lateral position is controlled in both ends of coupling lever part 14 of a vehicle 28 of foliage-treating machine 10 coupled to a tractor and the vehicle 28 is placed between ridges and simultaneously the vertical position of a vertical shaft 26 of the vehicle 28 is controlled and the lower end of a cutting blade 25 is set to the height at several centimeter above the ridge and the center of a guide plate 33 projecting backward from the inner face of a ceiling plate 31 covering the cutting blade 25 is made coincidental with the center of each ridge. Then the cutting blade 25 is rotated through a rotating shaft 22 in the direction of the arrow A and simultaneously the foliage-treating machine 10 is advanced in the direction of arrow B and the foliage of Irish potato P is finely cut with the cutting blade 25 and the finely cut fine pieces L are blown off along the lower face of a front plate 30 to the ceiling plate 31 and collected between the adjacent guide plates 33 by moving the pieces through the side 34 of guide plates 33 and dropped and accumulated between ridges.
