Abstract

The invention relates to a heavy machine-operated sieve screen bucket. A plurality of screening plates ( 3 ) are spaced from each other and establish a screening surface ( 2 ), which is provided with screening slots and on top of which the material to be screened can be placed. There are rotatable shafts ( 4 ) below the screening surface ( 2 ). The shafts ( 4 ) are provided with blades ( 5 ), which are projecting from the shafts and which extend through the screening slots to above the screening surface ( 2 ). The blades ( 5 ) taper in a wedge-like manner towards their rounded tips. Side edges of the blades ( 5 ) are substantially straight and the angle between the same is in the range of 20-28°.

Claims (27)

1. A heavy machine-operated sieve screen bucket, comprising:

a plurality of screening plates ( 3 ), spaced from each other and establishing a screening surface ( 2 ) which is provided with screening slots and on top of which can be placed the material to be screened

rotatable shafts ( 4 ) below the screening surface ( 2 ), and

blades ( 5 ) which project from the shafts ( 4 ) and extend through the screening slots to above the screening surface ( 2 ),

characterized in that the blades ( 5 ) taper in a wedge-like manner towards their rounded tips; and

characterized in that the side edges of the blades ( 5 ) are substantially straight and the angle between the side edges is in the range of 20-28°.

2. A heavy machine-operated sieve screen bucket, comprising:

a plurality of screening plates ( 3 ), spaced from each other and establishing a screening surface ( 2 ) which is provided with screening slots and on top of which can be placed the material to be screened

rotatable shafts ( 4 ) below the screening surface ( 2 ), and

blades ( 5 ) which project from the shafts ( 4 ) and extend through the screening slots to above the screening surface ( 2 ),

characterized in that the blades ( 5 ) taper in a wedge-like manner towards their rounded tips; and

characterized in that the slots between the blades are larger than the thickness of the screening plates ( 3 ) by a sliding clearance, and that the screening plates ( 3 ) extend into spaces between the blades ( 5 ).

3. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 1 or claim 2 , characterized in that the ends of the screening plates ( 3 ) are located in an elastic flat bar's ( 12 ) grooves ( 13 ), the distance between which matches the distance between screening plates and respectively the size of a screening slot.

4. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 1 , characterized in that fastening plates ( 7 ), and the shafts ( 4 ), along with their blades ( 5 ), mounted thereon with bearings ( 8 ), make up a cartridge unit capable of being installed in a single entity from a rear side of the bucket ( 1 ) by pushing the fastening plates ( 7 ) in the direction of their plane into reception openings in frame plates ( 10 ) of the bucket.

5. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 4 , characterized in that the bearings ( 8 ) of the shafts ( 4 ) are mounted on outer sides of the fastening plates ( 7 ), and the fastening plates ( 7 ) make up the internal walls of drive enclosures ( 11 ).

6. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 5 , characterized in that the outermost screening plates ( 3 ′) extend deep below the shafts ( 4 ) adjacent to penetrations of the fastening plates ( 7 ), thus establishing mudguards which impede the entrance of dirt through the penetrations to the bearings ( 8 ).

7. The sieve-screen bucket of claim 1 , characterized in that the slots between the blades are larger than the thickness of the screening plates ( 3 ) by a sliding clearance, and that the screening plates ( 3 ) extend into spaces between the blades ( 5 ).

8. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 7 , characterized in that the ends of the screening plates ( 3 ) are located in an elastic flat bar's ( 12 ) grooves ( 13 ), the distance between which matches the distance be-tween screening plates and respectively the size of a screening slot.

9. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 8 , characterized in that fastening plates ( 7 ), and the shafts ( 4 ), along with their blades ( 5 ), mounted thereon with bearings ( 8 ), make up a cartridge unit capable of being installed in a single entity from a rear side of the bucket ( 1 ) by pushing the fastening plates ( 7 ) in the direction of their plane into reception openings in frame plates ( 10 ) of the bucket.

10. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 9 , characterized in that the bearings ( 8 ) of the shafts ( 4 ) are mounted on outer sides of the fastening plates ( 7 ), and the fastening plates ( 7 ) make up the internal walls of drive enclosures ( 11 ).

11. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 10 , characterized in that the outermost screening plates ( 3 ′) extend deep below the shafts ( 4 ) adjacent to penetrations of the fastening plates ( 7 ), thus establishing mudguards which impede the entrance of dirt through the penetrations to the bearings ( 8 ).

12. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 3 , characterized in that fastening plates ( 7 ), and the shafts ( 4 ), along with their blades ( 5 ), mounted thereon with bearings ( 8 ), make up a cartridge unit capable of being installed in a single entity from a rear side of the bucket ( 1 ) by pushing the fastening plates ( 7 ) in the direction of their plane into reception openings in frame plates ( 10 ) of the bucket.

13. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 12 , characterized in that the bearings ( 8 ) of the shafts ( 4 ) are mounted on outer sides of the fastening plates ( 7 ), and the fastening plates ( 7 ) make up the internal walls of drive enclosures ( 11 ).

14. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 13 , characterized in that the outermost screening plates ( 3 ′) extend deep below the shafts ( 4 ) adjacent to penetrations of the fastening plates ( 7 ), thus establishing mudguards which impede the entrance of dirt through the penetrations to the bearings ( 8 ).

15. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 2 , characterized in that fastening plates ( 7 ), and the shafts ( 4 ), along with their blades ( 5 ), mounted thereon with bearings ( 8 ), make up a cartridge unit capable of being installed in a single entity from a rear side of the bucket ( 1 ) by pushing the fastening plates ( 7 ) in the direction of their plane into reception openings in frame plates ( 10 ) of the bucket.

16. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 15 , characterized in that the bearings ( 8 ) of the shafts ( 4 ) are mounted on outer sides of the fastening plates ( 7 ), and the fastening plates ( 7 ) make up the internal walls of drive enclosures ( 11 ).

17. The sieve screen bucket as set forth in claim 16 , characterized in that the outermost screening plates ( 3 ′) extend deep below the shafts ( 4 ) adjacent to penetrations of the fastening plates ( 7 ), thus establishing mudguards which impede the entrance of dirt through the penetrations to the bearings ( 8 ).
