LEVELING WHEEL WITH CLEANING RING AND REPLACEABLE DISC

Claims

The invention relates to a furrow depth gauge wheel used in seed drills to ensure that all seeds or fertilizer are deposited at the same depth. It is characterized by having a cleaning ring for the planting disc, independent of the other components of the gauge wheel. This ring's function is to continuously scrape the planting disc to prevent it from clogging due to soil thrown up when opening the furrow and crop residue scattered in the field. The invention is also characterized by the fact that the cleaning ring engages with the wheel rim and with the semi-pneumatic rubber tire, which also engages with the rim. Both the tire and tire have cavities and teeth that facilitate a firm connection between all the components. Finally, a retaining ring, connected to the rim by bolts, presses the rubber tire against the cleaning ring.The advantage of the object of the invention is to reduce the costs and time involved in replacing the wiper ring, which wears out due to its continuous friction with the planting disc.
