摘要： An improved sorting apparatus for separating loose debris, rocks and clods of dirt from root crops such as potatoes includes a channelizing conveyor, a take-away conveyor having an inlet end positioned below the discharge end of the channelizing conveyor, and a plurality of diverter paddles aligned with the channels of the channelizing conveyor. The channelizing conveyor includes an endless series of segments, each segment comprising a bar having hook portions at the ends thereof and an elastomeric molding formed thereon. Each molding includes several uniformly spaced, wedge-shaped projections, and the projections are longitudinally aligned to form channels for the potatoes, rocks and clods. The segments are interconnected with the hook portions thereof being engaged upon the trailing segment. With such manner of interconnection, as a segment moves from top-dead-center position on the sprockets at the discharge end of the conveyor through an arcuate path corresponding to the tooth pitch of the sprockets, the molding projections rock rearwardly relative to the axis of the bar in its arcuate path of travel.

摘要翻译： 一种改进的分选装置，用于分离诸如马铃薯等作物的松散碎屑，岩石和污垢块，包括通道输送机，具有位于通道化输送机的排放端下方的入口端的收集输送机，以及多个分流器桨 与通道化输送机的通道对齐。 通道化输送机包括环形系列的段，每个段包括在其端部具有钩部分的杆和在其上形成的弹性体模制件。 每个模制件包括几个均匀间隔开的楔形突起，并且突出部纵向对准以形成马铃薯，岩石和土块的通道。 这些段与其钩部分相互连接，其接合在拖尾段上。 通过这种互连方式，当分段从输送机的排出端处的链轮上的上死点位置通过对应于链轮的齿距的弧形路径移动时，模制突起相对于 酒吧在其弧形的旅行路上。
