Grinder-rotor type plant cutting machine e.g. forestry shredder, has movable assembly including panels on both sides of axis and pivoting between two angular positions, and cylinder pivoting assembly around axis

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The machine (M) has a movable assembly (100) with a flap forming solid lower panel (110) and a locker forming upper panel (120) on both sides of a horizontal axis. The assembly pivots between an angular position in which the panel (110) is removed by disengaging an inlet of a passage tunnel and the panel (120) pulls down the plant toward the passage and another position in which the panel (110) delimits a confined space with a fixed deflector and the panel (120) is inactive. A hydraulic cylinder (115) pivots the assembly around the axis and maintains the assembly in the positions. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for cutting a plant and for being towed by a tractor and slid on the ground by a sliding block. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The arrangement of the lower panel closes the confined space when the movable assembly is in one of the angular positions, thus ensuring the functioning of a closing flap while providing optimal protection of the environmental zone during the reverse functioning of the machine, obtaining the protection of rotating blades of a cutting rotor and limiting the projections toward stones or obstacles for a user during the forward functioning of the machine. The machine permits the upper panel to pull down the vegetation toward the passage without affecting the visibility of the zone placed in the back of the machine during the forward operation of the machine. The machine permits the better adaptation of work based on the nature of the plant to be cut or to be crushed, and is simple in structure. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective elevational view of a grinder-rotor type plant cutting machine for illustrating an angular position of a movable assembly during reverse functioning of the machine.
