    Device for the temporary storage of a substantially elongated crop
    The invention relates to a device for temporarily storing a substantially elongated crop, in particular leek, which device comprises a feed member for feeding the crop to a storage member, which storage member is provided with a first and a second winding roll for unwinding a first and second strip, respectively, which storage member is further provided with a rolling-up member, such that the crop supplied by the feeding member can be inserted between first and second strip and the first and second strip can be rolled up by the rolling-up member together with the crop to be.
    Such a device is known from BE 644,454. In the known device, the feed member is formed by a toothed wheel in which the crop is inserted horizontally piece by piece. The strips are supplied from the first and second winding roll to the toothed wheel where the crop is inserted between the first and the second strip and then rolled up in horizontal position by the rolling-up member.
    A drawback of the known device is that, on the one hand, the use of the toothed wheel means that the crop can hardly be supplied by machine and, on the other hand, rolling up the crop in a horizontal position can result in damage to the crop, whereby the quality of the crop is affected.
    The invention has for its object to realize a device for temporarily storing a substantially elongated crop, in particular leek, wherein the crop can be supplied by machine and is stored in such a way that the crop is not damaged.
    To that end, a device according to the invention is characterized in that the feed member comprises two substantially parallel conveyor belts which are arranged such that they feed the crop substantially upright, and wherein the storage member is provided around the substantially upright supplied crop. to roll up the upright position. By making use of conveyor belts, the crop can be brought to the storage device by machine. By storing the crop in an upright position, the various rolled up layers do not experience any pressure from each other, so that this pressure cannot cause any damage to the crop.
    A first preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the rolling-up member comprises a first shaft which is drivable by a motor and on which in each case a first end of the first and second strip is attached. Rolling up the strips can hereby be done simply by machine.
    A second preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the rolling-up member comprises a disc which is arranged such that the crop, when rolled up, can rest on it between the first and the second strip. As a result, the crop rests on the disc and cannot fall out of the strips.
    A third preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the storage member is provided with a first and a second guide roller for guiding the first and the second strip respectively to the winding member, which guide rollers are arranged at the height of the feed member. This simplifies the guiding of the strips and the application of the crop between the first and second strips.
    A fourth preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the feed member comprises a first and a second segment, the second segment being pivotally arranged with respect to the first segment in order to pivotally move from and to the storage member in order to make the roll-up movement of the storage device. This allows the second segment to follow the increase in volume of the storage device when it is filled with the crop and the crop remains supported by the second segment until it is stored in the storage device.
    A fifth preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the second segment comprises a first conveyor belt, one end of which debouches at the first winding roller, which second segment further comprises a hinged arranged plate which extends substantially parallel to said first conveyor belt of the second segment, and wherein the second winding roller is movable along said plate during unwinding on the side of the plate where the first conveyor belt of the second segment extends. The plate, in cooperation with the second segment, ensures that the crop is supported until it is stored in the storage member, so that it does not fall over during the storage operation.
    A sixth preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention is characterized in that the feed member comprises a first and a second segment which are arranged at an angle with respect to each other, and wherein the storage member is arranged movably relative to the feed member. The crop is supported by the movement of the storage member and the second segment until it is stored in the storage member, so that it does not fall over during the storage operation.
    The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. In the drawing: figure 1 shows a top view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention; figure 2 shows a side view of a device according to figure 1; figures 3 and 4 show a schematic representation of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention; figures 5, 6 and 7 show a schematic representation of a third embodiment of a device according to the invention; and figures 8, 9 and 10 show a schematic representation of a third embodiment of a device according to the invention.
    In the drawing, the same reference numeral is assigned to the same or analogous element.
    The first embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 is suitable for storing leeks. However, it will be clear that the device according to the invention in all its embodiments is suitable for all kinds of substantially elongated crops, such as leeks, carrots, celery, etc. The device for temporarily storing a substantially elongated crop comprises a supply member 12 for supplying the crop 15 and a storage member 14 for storing the supplied crop.
    In the first embodiment, the feed member 12 preferably comprises two conveyor belts 2, 3 which are synchronously drivable by a motor (not shown) and are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The conveyor belts 2 and 3 are arranged in such a way that the crop 15 is held between them vertically or upright. This has the advantage that the crop, after it has preferably been harvested by machine, does not have to be turned and can be brought directly from the harvesting machine to the feed member.
    The storage member 14 is preferably arranged in a housing 13 in order to, on the one hand, protect the stored crop and, on the other hand, prevent people from being injured by the rotating parts of the storage member. The housing is preferably transparent and air-permeable in order to give the crop sufficient air and to see from the outside how much crop is stored. For this purpose the housing is preferably made of mesh,
    The storage member 14 comprises a first 6 and a second 7 winding roll on which a first 8 and a second 9 strip, respectively, are wound. The strips 8 and 9 are, for example, made of fiber-reinforced plastic. The strips are preferably guided via first 10 and second 11 guide roller to an output of the feed member 12. For this purpose, in the first embodiment, the guide rollers 10 and 16 are respectively. 11 in line with the conveyor belts 2 resp. 3. The crop can thus be taken up almost directly from the conveyor belts by the strips. According to a variant of this embodiment, it is of course also possible to place the winding rollers 6 and 7 near the exit of the feed member. However, the embodiment with the guide rollers is preferred as it allows the winding rollers 6 and 7 to be arranged in corner points of the housing, so that the available space is utilized more efficiently.
    The storage member further comprises a take-up member which is preferably formed by a first shaft 5 which is drivable by a motor (not shown) to cause the first shaft to rotate. The first axis is arranged substantially vertically upwards. The strips 8 and 9 are attached to the first axis 5 so that the rotation of the first axis 5 causes the strips to wind up and unwind. The storage device preferably further comprises a disc 4 through which the first axis projects and which disc is arranged at the bottom of the storage device.
    Because the first axis 5 rotates and the first and second strips 8, 9 are connected to the first axis, this rotation results in the strips being unwound from their respective winding rollers 6, 7 and guided along the guide rollers 10 and 11. As a result, strips 8 and 9 are arranged substantially parallel to each other and at a distance from each other after leaving the guide rollers. This distance is chosen such that the leek sticks fit snugly between the strips. When the leek or the crop 15 is now supplied via the supply member 12, the leek sticks are inserted one by one between the first and second strip and thus end up in the rolling-up member. Because the first axis is arranged vertically, the inserted leek sticks are further transported substantially upright. The rotation of the first axis then further ensures that the strips with the leek are rolled up in their upright position, wherein the leek sticks are always situated between the first and second strips. If the winding member is provided with the disk 4, the leek can rest on the disk, thereby further ensuring that the leek sticks do not fall out of the storage member. The leek is preferably rolled up in such a way that the roots point towards the disc 4. As a result, soil clods that have stuck to the leek can also fall on the disc when drying.
    Because the leek or the crop is wound up in its substantially upright position, the various layers thus created exert no pressure on each other, as a result of which the leek or the crop can be safely stored and the risk of being compressed is considerably reduced.
    Figures 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of a device according to the invention, wherein Figure 3 shows the device at a moment when the rolling up of the crop begins and Figure 4 shows the device at a time when a quantity of crop has already been stored is. The second embodiment differs from the first in that, among other things, the feed member 12 comprises a first 12-1 and a second 12-2 segment. The second segment is arranged pivotally with respect to the first segment. To this end, the first 2-2 and the second 3-2 conveyor belt of the second segment are mounted on a pivot axis 21 and 22 respectively. Due to the pivotal mounting, the second segment can move from and to the first axis 5 and thus from and to the storage member follow the rolling and rolling movement of the latter when the crop is being rolled up or unrolled.
    One end of the second segment 12-2 of the feed member opens out near the strips 8 and 9 of the winding rollers 6 and 7. The first 2-2 and the second 3-2 conveyor belt from the second segment open out at the first 8 and the second 9 strip. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the second conveyor belt 3-2 touches the second strip 9 on its way back after supplying the crop while the first conveyor belt 2-2 comes to face the first strip 8 at the moment that these are started back. A first conductor 20 is movably arranged near the end of the first conveyor belt 2-2. The first conductor 20 is preferably arranged such that it is in each case in line with a line extending between the first 2-2 and the second 3-2 conveyor belt of the second segment and along which the crop is transported. The movement of the first conductor is realized, for example, by a movable arm (not shown in the figure) on which the first conductor is mounted.
    When the crop is supplied in an upright position and storage starts (figure 3), the end of the second segment is located substantially at the level of the first axis 5. The first 8 and second 9 strips then both touch the second conveyor belt 3-2 and the first conductor 20 presses the first strip toward the second segment. When leaving the second segment, the supplied crop will come into contact with the first strip at a point slightly beyond the first conductor 20. Because the first strip touches the second conveyor belt, the crop is hereby held upright at the transition from the conveyor belt to the first strip. Due to the rotation of the second conveyor belt, the crop is moved further towards the first axis 5 and it will come into contact with the second strip 9 so as to be picked up vertically between the first and second strips. The crop is then rolled up in this position between the strips around the first axis 5. During this transition from conveyor belt to the strips, the crop remains supported by the cooperation of the conveyor belts, the strips and the first conductor and is thus prevented from falling over from its upright position and thus disturbing storage.
    As more crop will be supplied, the volume of stored crop will increase and therefore also the radius of the circle forming around the first axis 5 and within which the first and second strip with the crop 15 between them will be wound. In order to be able to follow the increase in the radius of this circle, the second segment 12-2 is precisely hinged to the first. The rotation of the second segment relative to the first 12-1 causes the second segment to flex away from the first axis 5 (see Figure 4) and thus does not interfere with the increase in the circle. Because the second conveyor belt 3-2 touches the second strip 9, the second segment is pivoted away synchronously with the increase of the circle radius. The movement of the first conductor 20 also ensures that it is always positioned correctly with respect to the second segment, so that during the entire storage operation the cooperation between the first conductor, the second segment and the strips is maintained and the crop is thoroughly supported. When the stored crop is unwound, of course, the process takes place the other way around and the second segment will pivot back towards the first axis. Since this results in an analogous process, a thorough drainage of the crop is also obtained.
    Figures 5, 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of a device according to the invention, wherein Figure 5 shows the device at a moment when the rolling up of the crop begins and Figure 6 shows the device at a moment when a quantity of crop is stored. Also in this embodiment, the feeder comprises a first 12-1 and a second 12-2 segment. The first conveyor belt from this second segment comprises a first 2-2a and a second 2-2b sub-segment, the second sub-segment being pivotally mounted with respect to the first sub-segment. A pivot axis 27 provides this last pivotal movement. A second conductor 26 provides for the deflection of the first strip 8 and has a function analogous to that of the first conductor 20. The second conveyor belt 3-2 from the second segment is preferably fixedly arranged. The second conveyor belt 3-2 and the first sub-segment 2-2a extend substantially parallel to each other. An end of this second conveyor belt touches the housing of the device.
    In this third embodiment, the second segment of the feed member further comprises a pivotally arranged plate 25, which extends substantially parallel to the second sub-segment 2-2b of the first conveyor belt. To this end, the plate 25 is mounted on a hinged third conductor 28, which is preferably located along an edge side of the device, as shown in Figure 7. The second strip 9 wraps around the third conductor 28 during the unwinding of the winding roller 7 and subsequently along the plate 25 towards the first axis 5. The second strip runs along the plate on the side of the plate where the first conveyor belt of the second sub-segment 2-2b extends. Thus, the plate 25, the second strip 9 and the second sub-segment 2-2b run substantially parallel to each other to provide for the transport of the crop.
    The first 12-1 and second 12-2 segments of the feeder are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other, so that the crop 15 makes a 90 ° bend at the transition from the first to the second segment. When the crop supplied reaches the hinge axis 27, it will leave the second conveyor belt 3-2 and come into contact with the second strip 9 and the plate 25. The crop is then arranged between the second sub-segment 2-2b on one side of the conveyor belt and on the other side the second strip 9 and the plate 9. The movement of the second sub-segment and the second strip then ensure that the crop is moved further towards the end of the conveyor belt. During this movement the crop is supported by the plate which, because it is hingedly mounted, exerts a pressure on the crop and thus ensures that the crop does not fall over from its upright position.
    At the start of storing the crop, the plate 25 (see figure 5) is positioned such that its free end is near the first axis 5. The second conductor 26 is also located near the first axis 5 in line with the line along which the crop is transported. When the crop has reached the free end of the plate 25 and the end of the second sub-segment 2-2b, it comes into contact with the first strip 8, so that it can be received between the first and the second strip. Due to the rotation of the first axis 5, the crop is then wound between the strips in the upright position.
    As the circle formed by the stored crop increases (see Figure 6), the plate 25 around the third conductor 28 will pivot away from the first axis 5 and furthermore the second sub-segment 2-2b will also pivot around the axis 27 so as to wind it up. possible. The second conductor 26 here follows this movement to properly guide the first strip. Because the crop is always held between the plate and the second sub-segment, even when they pivot away from the first axis 5, it remains well supported between the entire winding operation. Naturally, a reverse movement will take place during unwinding.
    Figures 8, 9 and 10 show a fourth embodiment of a device according to the invention, wherein Figure 8 shows the device at a time when the rolling up of the crop begins and Figure 9 shows the device at a time when a quantity of crop is stored. In this embodiment, the feed member 12 also comprises a first 12-1 and a second 12-2 segment. In this embodiment, the first and second segments are arranged at an angle, preferably 90 °, with respect to each other. Furthermore, the storage member 14 is arranged movably relative to the feed member. A fourth 30 and fifth 31 conductor, respectively, are mounted movably, for example in each case on movable arms 32 and 33, as shown in Figure 10. The fourth and fifth conductor are movable to and from the first axis 5. A sixth 34 and seventh 35 conductors are in each case fixedly arranged near an edge of the device. The first 8 and second 9 strips, respectively, are guided via the sixth 34 and fourth 30 and seventh 35 and fifth 31 conductors respectively from their respective winding rollers 6 and 7 to the first axis 5. The strips thus running along these conductors 34, 30, and 31, 35 define a corridor 36 within which a fraction of the second segment 12-2 extends. An end of the second segment opens out to that part of the strips that is located between the fourth 30 and fifth 31 conductor.
    At the start of the storage, the fourth 30 and fifth 31 conductors are located near the first axis 5 and the second segment has entered the storage member relatively deeply. The crop 15 supplied by the pressing member is arranged upright between the conveyor belts of the second segment and is conveyed to the end thereof, where it is collected by the strips 8 and 9. The fourth and fifth guides ensure that the strips are pressed towards the second sub-segment in order to support the crop. The second strip 9 is in this initial phase against the first axis 5, so that the crop leaving the second segment is brought to the second strip. The first strip 8 is then added and the crop is picked up between the first and second strips and wound around the first axis 5.
    As the circle formed by the stored crop increases, the storage member is moved synchronously with the increase in the circle away from the feed member and the fourth and fifth conductors move along so that they come closer to the sixth and seventh conductors. The crop can thus be stored while it is permanently supported by the second segment and the strips with their fourth and fifth guide. The direction of rotation of the storage device can be selected as a function of the release device selected by the user. Of course, the operation is carried out in the reverse direction for unwinding.
    Preferably, in all embodiments, resilient elements 36 are mounted in the conveyor belts to exert a pressure on the conveyor belt and thus keep the crop well in the space between the parallel conveyor belts.
