Description

[0001] The invention relates to a plow and a method for plowing with a plow. background

[0002] Ploughs are used in agriculture for tilling the soil of agricultural land. A plough typically has several plowing tools arranged on a frame. This frame can extend along a direction of travel or work, perpendicular to it, or at any angle to it. Ploughs in which the plowing tools are arranged side by side along a frame extending perpendicular to the direction of travel or work are also called parallel ploughs.

[0003] Document DD 289 189 A5 discloses a plow with plow tools arranged essentially transversely to the working direction for cultivating agricultural land. The known plow has tool units arranged essentially transversely to the working direction, consisting of a combination of a share-flap tool and a share-deflector tool. These are alternately attached to a tool crossbeam formed by the frame beam and, working towards each other, on the one hand horizontally cut, pick up, laterally displace, and turn a soil layer, and on the other hand horizontally cut and laterally displace the adjacent soil layer without turning it.The share-stripping tool is set back from the share of the share-deflector tool by approximately one share cutting width, and the deflector of the share-deflector tool is also set back from its associated share to the height of the share-stripping tool.

[0004] Document EP 2 949 192 A1 describes a plow with several plow bodies attached to a frame beam, wherein the frame beam is oriented perpendicular to the working direction of the plow and wherein the plow bodies are arranged side by side on the plow beam for plowing soil. In this plow, each plow body is a single component and has the shape of a tube bisected lengthwise in a vertical plane with angled edges at the front and rear, wherein the longitudinal axes of the plow bodies are parallel to each other and oriented at an angle to the working direction of the plow. Summary

[0005] The object of the invention is to provide a plow and a method for plowing with a plow, with which a soil slab separated from the soil in a furrow during plowing can be efficiently picked up, turned over, and deposited in the furrow as a turned soil slab using the plow tools of the plow. A soil cut in the soil is intended to support the efficient and clean formation of the soil slab.

[0006] To solve this problem, a plow and a method for plowing with a plow according to independent claims 1 and 15 are provided. Embodiments are the subject of dependent subclaims.

[0007] From one perspective, a plow is created with a frame beam whose longitudinal direction extends transversely to a direction of travel or work, and pairs of plow tools arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the frame beam.The following is provided for each pair of plow tools: a plowshare tool, which is connected to and operated by the frame beam via a plow beam, to cut, pick up, turn, and laterally displace a soil layer in a direction transverse to the direction of travel or work when plowing; an additional plowshare tool associated with the plowshare tool, which is connected to and operated by the frame beam via an additional plow beam, to laterally displace the soil layer picked up and turned by the plowshare tool in the opposite direction to the direction of travel or work; and a coulter associated with the plowshare tool, which is positioned in front of the plowshare tool in the direction of travel or work and is operable, to create a vertical soil cut for the soil layer.

[0008] According to another aspect, a method for plowing with a plow has been created, wherein, in the plow on a frame beam whose longitudinal direction extends transversely to a travel or working direction, pairs of plow tools are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the frame beam, each consisting of a plowshare tool, an additional plowshare tool assigned to the plowshare tool and a coulter.The method comprises the following: cutting a vertical soil cut for a soil beam using the coulter, which is assigned to the plowshare tool and positioned in front of it in the direction of travel or work; separating the soil beam from the soil to form a furrow in the soil; picking up, turning, and laterally displacing the soil beam transversely to the direction of travel or work using the plowshare tool, which is connected to the frame beam via a plow beam; and laterally displacing the soil beam picked up and turned by the plowshare tool in the opposite direction to the direction of displacement transversely to the direction of travel or work using the auxiliary plowshare tool, such that the turned soil beam is laid down in the furrow.

[0009] In a plow, the plow tool pairs, consisting of the plowshare and the auxiliary plowshare, work together efficiently to separate, pick up, and turn the respective soil or earth clod from the ground, particularly by 180 degrees. The auxiliary plowshare counteracts any displacement of the picked-up soil clod caused by the plowshare tool, perpendicular to the direction of travel or work and away from the plowshare tool. This ensures that the turned soil clod is deposited in the furrow to which it was originally attached. The soil clod can thus be deposited in the area of ​​the furrow where it was previously separated from the ground.

[0010] With the aid of the coulter, which is associated with the plowshare tool and positioned in front of it in the direction of travel or work, a vertical cut is made in the soil for the soil slab and the furrow before the plowshare tool separates the soil slab from the ground. This allows the soil slab to then be separated from the ground with a clean cut along the vertical cut using the plowshare tool. The coulter can be designed to extend the vertical cut in the soil to a depth at which a share point of the plowshare tool subsequently moves forward in the direction of travel or work.

[0011] The plowshare tool and / or the auxiliary plowshare tool can each be detachably mounted on the plow frame, the frame being formed in various embodiments by a frame section of the plow frame. The frame forms a tool carrier for the plow tool pairs, comprising the plowshare tool and the auxiliary plowshare tool.

[0012] The plow beam, over which the plowshare tool is arranged on the frame beam, can be formed with a C-beam shape when viewed from the side of the plow.

[0013] A parallel plow is formed by arranging the plow tool pairs in the longitudinal direction of the frame beam, which in turn extends transversely to the direction of travel or work.

[0014] An additional coulter may be provided, assigned to the auxiliary plowshare tool and positioned in front of it in the direction of travel or work, to create an opposing vertical soil cut for the soil beam. With the aid of the additional coulter, a vertical soil cut is also created on the opposite side of the soil beam, which subsequently facilitates the efficient and clean separation of the soil beam from the soil. The vertical soil cut and the opposing vertical soil cut may be created at essentially the same depth in the soil. During plowing, a share point of the auxiliary plowshare tool can move along or adjacent to the opposing vertical soil cut.

[0015] A cutting edge of the coulter, which cuts the soil when forming the vertical cut, can be set back in the direction of travel or work relative to a cutting edge of the auxiliary coulter, which cuts the soil when forming the opposite vertical cut. The cutting edge of the auxiliary coulter is positioned leading the cutting edge of the coulter in the direction of travel or work, with both the coulter and the auxiliary coulter serving to form their respective vertical cuts. Viewed from the side of the plow, the coulter can be arranged to non-overlap with one or more of the following components: the auxiliary coulter, the plow beam, and the auxiliary plow beam. For example, viewed from the side of the plow tool pairs, the coulter is positioned below a section of the plow beam of the associated plowshare tool or of all plowshare tools.

[0016] The coulter and / or the auxiliary coulter can be formed with at least one coulter from the following group: cutting disc coulter and cutting knife coulter. The cutting disc coulter can be designed with a rotatable cutting disc. The cutting knife coulter can have a straight or a curved cutting edge.

[0017] The coulter can be formed with a cutting disc coulter, which is connected to the plow beam via an associated holding device. In this or other embodiments, the coulter can be displaceable relative to the share tip of the plowshare tool, particularly with respect to its height above the share tip. The cutting disc can be arranged in a substantially upright position when viewed from the front of the plow.

[0018] The auxiliary coulter may include a cutting blade coulter mounted on the auxiliary plow beam. The auxiliary coulter may be detachably mounted on the auxiliary plow beam. It may be designed to be adjustable. Viewed from the front of the plow tool pairs, the cutting blade may be oriented essentially vertically. In particular, a cutting edge of the cutting blade may run essentially vertically. Viewed from the side of the plow tool pairs, the cutting edge of the cutting blade is positioned in front of the share tip of the auxiliary plow share tool in the direction of travel or work. It may also be designed that, viewed from the side of the plow tool pairs, the cutting edge of the cutting blade is positioned in front of the cutting edge of the coulter in the direction of travel or work.

[0019] The cutting blade coulter can be integrated with the auxiliary plow beam, such that a cutting edge of the cutting blade coulter is formed on a section of the auxiliary plow beam. The cutting blade can be formed integrally with the section of the auxiliary plow beam. In one embodiment, the cutting blade is detachably attached to the beam section, which in particular allows the cutting blade to be separated from the beam section for maintenance or replacement. The beam section on which the cutting blade of the auxiliary coulter is formed can be connected to the frame beam via an adjacent beam section, either integrally or detachably.

[0020] The cutting edge of the auxiliary coulter can be inclined towards the vertical when viewed from the side of the plow pairs, and the bottom-side cutting tip of the auxiliary coulter can be positioned leading in the direction of travel or work, in particular such that the cutting edge of the auxiliary coulter is located behind the bottom-side cutting tip when viewed from the side of the plow pairs in the direction of travel or work. The cutting edge can be straight or curved. The angle of inclination of the cutting edge relative to the vertical can be in the range of greater than 0 degrees up to approximately 30 degrees, in particular in the range of approximately 20 degrees up to approximately 30 degrees, for example, approximately 25 degrees.

[0021] The auxiliary plow beam, viewed from the side of the plow tool pairs or the plow itself, can have a section extending substantially horizontally, at the rear end of which the auxiliary plowshare tool is located. This substantially horizontal section, which extends, for example, in the direction of travel or work, can connect at the rear to a section of the auxiliary plow beam on which the cutting tip of the auxiliary coulter is located. The substantially horizontal section can be integrally formed with the section of the beam containing the cutting blade.

[0022] It may be provided that the beam section extending substantially horizontally, together with the beam section on which the cutting blade is formed, is demountable or removable. The additional plowshare tool may be integrally formed with the beam section extending substantially horizontally. Alternatively, it may be provided that the additional plowshare tool is detachably formed with the beam section extending horizontally.

[0023] The tip of a share of the auxiliary plowshare tool can be positioned opposite or adjacent to the rear end of a share of the plowshare tool in the direction of travel or work. The tip of the share of the auxiliary plowshare tool and the rear end of the share of the plowshare tool can be arranged essentially on a line of arrangement transverse to the direction of travel or work, with the line of arrangement running essentially parallel to the frame beam.

[0024] The vertical distance between the tip of the plowshare and an upper horizontal section of the plow beam can be approximately 40 cm to approximately 90 cm. Specifically, the vertical distance between the tip of the plowshare and the upper horizontal section of the plow beam can be approximately 75 cm to approximately 85 cm, for example, approximately 80 cm.

[0025] The horizontal distance between a rear vertical section of the plow beam and a front vertical section of the auxiliary plow beam can be approximately 60 cm to approximately 90 cm. The horizontal distance between the rear vertical section of the plow beam and the front vertical section of the auxiliary plow beam can, in particular, be 65 cm to approximately 85 cm. This horizontal distance can, in particular, be formed between opposing sides of the rear vertical section of the plow beam and the front vertical section of the auxiliary plow beam.

[0026] In the direction of travel or work, the distance between the tip of the plowshare tool and the tip of the auxiliary plowshare tool can be approximately 40 cm to approximately 120 cm. The distance between the tip of the plowshare tool and the tip of the auxiliary plowshare tool can be approximately 70 cm to approximately 110 cm in the direction of travel or work, for example, approximately 80 cm to approximately 100 cm.

[0027] At least in one or more of the middle plow tool pairs, the plowshare tool and the additional plowshare tool can each be arranged in pairs adjacent to each other in a V-arrangement, such that share tips of the shares of adjacent plowshare tools on the one hand and share tips of the shares of adjacent additional plowshare tools on the other hand each form a common pair share tip.

[0028] The tips of adjacent tools can be arranged abutting each other. The tools arranged in pairs adjacent to each other can be formed as one piece or as separate components, whereby it may be provided that adjacent plowshare tools and / or adjacent auxiliary plowshare tools are separable from one another and detachable from the associated plowshare beam. With respect to the middle pairs of plow tools, there is an alternating arrangement of two plowshare tools and two auxiliary plowshare tools along the longitudinal direction of the frame beam. At the end of the arrangement of plow tool pairs, a single plowshare tool can be provided, which turns the separated and retained bottom beam towards the middle pairs of plow tools.The plowshare tools, arranged in pairs adjacent to each other in a V-arrangement, turn the respective soil beam in opposite horizontal directions, i.e., in the opposite direction to the direction of travel or work. Accordingly, additional plowshare tools arranged in pairs adjacent to each other also act in opposite directions of displacement.

[0029] On an agricultural machine, the plow can be mounted on a trailer attached to a tractor. Alternatively, the plow can be carried by the tractor. A self-propelled plow is also possible.

[0030] In connection with the ploughing procedure, the previously explained configurations relating to the plough may be provided accordingly. Description of exemplary implementations

[0031] Further examples of implementation are explained below with reference to figures in a drawing. These figures show: Fig. 1 a schematic perspective view of a plow from a rear oblique angle; Fig. 2 a schematic perspective representation of the plow on Fig. 1 from a slightly forward angle; Fig. 3 a schematic representation of the plow made of Fig. 1 from the top; Fig. 4 a schematic partial representation of the plow made of Fig. 1 from the side and Fig. 5 a schematic cross-sectional view of a soil with furrow and floor beam.

[0032] Fig. Figures 1 to 4 show schematic representations of a plow 1 for tilling agricultural land. In the plow 1, a frame beam 2, forming a tool carrier, extends essentially transversely to a travel or working direction A. Pairs of plow tools 3.1, ..., 3.4 are arranged longitudinally side by side on the frame beam 2 (see in particular Figure 1). Fig. 3) A first plow tool pair 3.1, as well as the other plow tool pairs 3.2, ..., 3.4, each have a plowshare tool 4 and an associated auxiliary plowshare tool 5. The plowshare tool 4 is formed with a moldboard 4.1 and a share 4.2. The associated auxiliary plowshare tool 5 has a share 5.1. The plowshare tool 4 and the auxiliary plowshare tool 5 of the other plow tool pairs 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 are designed similarly.

[0033] A share point 5.2 of the share 5.1 of the additional ploughshare tool 5 is arranged opposite or adjacent to a rear share end 4.3 of the share 4.2 of the associated ploughshare tool 4, such that the share points 5.2 of the additional ploughshare tools 5 and the rear share ends 4.3 of the ploughshare tools 4 are arranged at substantially the same distance from the frame beam 2, thus lying substantially on an arrangement line that runs parallel to the frame beam 2.

[0034] According to Fig. 1 The plowshare tool 4 is arranged on the frame beam 2 via a plow beam 6, either detachably or not. In the illustrated embodiment, the plow beam 6 is formed with a beam section 6.1 (horizontal section) extending substantially in the horizontal direction, which transitions at the rear via a beam corner region 6.2 into a beam section 6.3 (vertical section) extending substantially in the vertical direction. According to the illustration, this is followed by... Fig. At the end of the plow beam 6, a beam section 6.4 is inclined forward towards the frame beam 2, on which the plowshare tool 4 is arranged. In this way, the plow beam 6 in the example shown has a C-beam shape. Other beam shapes are possible. The plow beam 6 can be made of one or more pieces and can be fixedly or detachably mounted to the frame beam 2.

[0035] The additional ploughshare tool 5 is connected to the frame beam 2 via an associated additional plough beam 7. As can be seen in particular from Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the additional plow beam 7 in the illustrated embodiments comprises a front beam section 7.1 (vertical section) extending essentially vertically and connected to the frame beam 2, and an adjacent beam section 7.2, which is inclined forward relative to beam section 7.1 in the direction of travel or work A. A horizontal beam section 7.3 adjoins the forward-inclined beam section 7.2, at the end of which the additional plowshare tool 5 is arranged (see Figure 2). Fig. 1) The additional plow beam 7 can be made of one or more parts. The additional plowshare tool 5 can be detachably or permanently connected to the horizontal beam section 7.3. Alternatively or additionally, the beam section 7.2 can be detachably or permanently connected to the front beam section 7.1, which runs essentially vertically.

[0036] In plow tool pairs 3.1, ..., 3.4, each plow tool 4 is associated with a coulter 8, which is held on the associated plow beam 6 by means of a holding device 9. The holding device 9 can be configured to set a position of the coulter 8 relative to the associated plow tool 4 and thus relative to a share point 4.4 of the share 4.2 of the plow tool 4. In the illustrated embodiment, the coulter 8 is formed with a respective cutting disc 10.

[0037] As especially from Fig. As can be seen on the additional plow beam 7, an additional coulter 11 is provided in the forward-inclined beam section 7.2, such that a cutting edge 11.1 of the additional coulter 11, which in the example shown is designed as a straight cutting edge, also extends obliquely forward to a cutting tip 11.2. The additional coulter 11 is associated with the additional plowshare tool 5 located behind the additional coulter 11 in the direction of travel or work A. The cutting tip 11.2 of the additional coulter 11 is positioned in front of a leading cutting edge 8.1 of the coulter 8 in the direction of travel or work. In the illustrated embodiment, this also applies to the cutting edge 11.1 of the additional coulter 11 (see in particular Figure 2). Fig. 4) The distance between the cutting tip 11.2 and the share tip 4.4 of the share 4.2 of the ploughshare tool 4 shall be between approximately 60 cm and approximately 120 cm.

[0038] In the case of plow 1, the respective plowshare tools 4 are arranged in a V-arrangement to form intermediate plow tool pairs 3.2, 3.3 (see Fig. 3), such that the respective share tips 4.4 are arranged side by side or abutting each other and a common pair share tip is formed. The same applies to the additional ploughshare tools 5 according to Fig. 3 a V-arrangement is formed, such that two additional ploughshare tools 5 are arranged on a common additional plough beam 7. Similarly, the two ploughshare tools 4 positioned in the V-arrangement are connected to the frame beam 2 via a common plough beam 6 (see, for example, in particular Fig. 1).

[0039] In plowing operation, in which the plow 1 is moved in the direction of travel or work A, the coulters 8 and the auxiliary coulters 11 of a plow tool pair each cut a vertical soil cut 20.1, 20.2 in the soil 21, which in Fig. Figure 5 is shown schematically. Another vertical soil cut 20.3 is produced by an adjacent additional coulter.

[0040] A furrow 22 is created in the soil 21 during plowing. In the illustrated embodiment, outer vertical soil cuts 20.1, 20.3 are made using the coulters 8, whereas the middle vertical soil cut 20.2 is formed using the auxiliary coulter 11. After the vertical soil cuts 20.1, 20.2, 20.3 have been made using the coulter 8 and auxiliary coulter 11, a first and a second soil or earth bar 23.1, 23.2 can be separated from the soil 21, picked up, and turned over using adjacent plowshare tools 5. The picked-up soil bars 23.1, 23.2 are turned over in opposite directions (see middle illustration in [reference]). Fig. 5) and displaced in opposite directions transverse to the direction of travel or work A, namely outwards towards the additional plowshare tool 5 with respect to the furrow 22. The additional plowshare tool 5 then counteracts this displacement by displacing the absorbed soil beam 23.1, 23.2 in the opposite direction, so that the soil beams 23.1, 23.2 are finally displaced according to the right-hand illustration in Fig. 5 are to be laid down in furrow 22, turned over. In this way, the floor beams 23.1 and 23.2 are each turned by 180 degrees and laid down in furrow 22 essentially in the area of ​​furrow 22 from which they were previously separated.

[0041] The arrangement of a turned soil bar 23., 23.2 in the furrow 22 itself results in a comparable manner from the paired interaction of outer (end-side) plow tool pairs 3.1, 3.4 of plowshare tool 4 and associated auxiliary plowshare tool 5. Here, the middle vertical soil cut 20.2 is absent. The outer vertical soil cuts 20.1, 20.3 are also generated here by means of coulter 8 and auxiliary coulter 11 of the respective plow tool pair 3.1, 3.4 for only one soil bar, which supports an efficient and clean separation of the soil bar from the soil 21 as well as a furrow 22 that is filled as completely as possible after the turning of the soil bar.

[0042] In the case of the plow 1, it can be provided that the vertical distance between the share point 4.4 of the share 4.2 of the plowshare tool 4 and the horizontal section 6.1 of the plow beam 6 is approximately 40 cm to approximately 90 cm, in particular between the share point 4.4 and a covering surface of the plow beam 6 in the area of ​​the horizontal section 6.1.

[0043] A horizontal distance between the vertical section 6.3 of the plow beam 6 and the vertical section 7.1 of the auxiliary plow beam 7 can be approximately 60 cm to approximately 90 cm, in particular the distance between opposing inner sides of plow beam 6 in the area of ​​vertical section 6.3 and auxiliary plow beam 7 in the area of ​​vertical section 7.1.

[0044] The distance between the share point 4.4 of the share 4.2 of the plowshare tool 4 and the share point 5.2 of the share 5.1 of the auxiliary plowshare tool 5 can be approximately 40 cm to approximately 120 cm in the direction of travel or work A. The distance between the share point of the share of the plowshare tool and the share point of the share of the auxiliary plowshare tool can be approximately 70 cm to approximately 110 cm in the direction of travel or work, for example, approximately 80 cm to approximately 100 cm.

[0045] The features disclosed in the foregoing description, the claims and the drawing can be important for the realization of the various embodiments, both individually and in any combination.
