Box for storage and distribution of small and micro-granulated seeds in a single equipment

Description

/ 3 BOX FOR STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF SMALL SEEDS AND MICROGRANULES IN A SINGLE UNIT 1.1 Field of the invention

[001] The present invention relates to agricultural equipment designed for the storage, dosing and distribution of small and microgranulated seeds, concomitant with the process of using a direct seeder or planter, optimizing the planting and soil treatment process in a single operation. 1.2 Fundamentals of the invention

[002] In the agricultural sector, traditional equipment for sowing and distributing inputs generally requires separate devices for seeds and microgranules. This configuration increases operating costs, complexity, and setup time in the field. The present invention solves these problems by integrating storage and distribution functions into a single compact and efficient piece of equipment coupled to a conventional seeder or planter. This allows for the simultaneous distribution of small seeds for soil cover and / or microgranules for soil nutrition and health while sowing or planting a main crop. 1.3 Brief description of the drawings

[007] General Structure: The box is manufactured from corrosion-resistant material, such as high-density polymers or treated metals, to withstand harsh field conditions. It has compact dimensions to facilitate coupling to different types of agricultural machinery.

[008] Seed compartments: designed to store small seeds, such as grasses and legumes. Features a sloped surface to ensure continuous flow and prevent clogging.

[009] Microgranule compartment: reserved for chemical inputs in granular form. Includes an isolation system to prevent cross-contamination with seeds.

[010] Dosing Mechanism: Includes adjustable rotors that regulate the amount of seeds and microgranules distributed per unit area. The application rate can be controlled manually or electronically via sensors and an integrated controller.

[011] Distribution System: Equipped with distribution tubes or nozzles designed to ensure uniform application. Can be integrated with direct seeding systems or conventional planters. Petition 870250091955, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 8 / 9 / 3 1.5 Innovative Features:

[012] Integration of Compartments: Both compartments operate independently or simultaneously, depending on the operator's needs.

[013] Adjustability: Easy configuration for different seed sizes and microgranule densities.

[014] Efficiency: Reduction of input waste and increased uniformity in planting due to the simultaneous use of the seeder and planter for the distribution of small seeds and microgranules.

[015] Industrial Applicability: The invention is applicable to the agricultural machinery industries, assisting producers at different scales, from small farmers to large commercial properties, focusing on the efficiency and sustainability of planting.

Claims

CLAIMS 1. BOX FOR STORING AND DISTRIBUTING SMALL SEEDS AND MICROGRANULES characterized by the storage, dosing and distribution of the same, in conjunction with the agricultural planting process and soil treatment carried out by direct seeding systems or conventional planters.

2. STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION BOX, according to claim 1, characterized by being coupled to other agricultural machinery, such as a seeder or input distributor, and allowing the distribution of small seeds and microgranules in a single planting or soil treatment operation.

3. STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION BOX, according to claim 1, characterized by the existence of two independent compartments, one for storing seeds and the other for storing microgranules, wherein the distribution of the same may occur simultaneously or individually.

4. STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION BOX, according to claim 1, characterized by having a manual or electronic dosing system, in which case it has integrated sensors and controllers that are operated by means of a monitor.

5. STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION BOX, according to claim 1, characterized by having tubes and distribution nozzles designed to ensure the uniform application of small seeds and microgranules. Petition 870250017396, dated 05 / 03 / 2025, page 9 / 25
