Description

State of the art

[0001] Scythe mowers are well known. Common scythe mowers have an engine that drives two wheels and from which a cutter bar is suspended. The scythe mower is operated by an operator who guides the scythe mower by two handles and walks behind it.

[0002] A tractor is also known for mowing, having four wheels to which a cutter bar can be attached at the front, side or rear.

[0003] The familiar machines all have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, tractors offer the advantage of operator comfort, while the disadvantage is the comparatively high pressure on the surface. Conversely, scythe mowers have the advantage of a comparatively low pressure on the surface, but the operating comfort of familiar scythe mowers is comparatively negligible.

[0004] Especially when used on moors, ditches and dams, the disadvantages of the known machines outweigh the advantages. Object and advantages of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved device with which moors, ditches and dams can be mowed comparatively gently and with comparatively high operating comfort.

[0006] The problem is solved by the independent claims.

[0007] Exemplary embodiments are mentioned in the dependent claims.

[0008] For example, a chain for a spiked rotary device carrier is proposed, wherein the chain has two tracks and a plurality of chain links, wherein the chain links connect the tracks to one another, wherein the chain links are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent of the tracks, wherein each chain link extends from a first to a second end along a longitudinal extent, wherein the ends of the chain link are designed as rounded bar skids. This improves the movement of the spiked rotary device carrier on a moor grass cover. For example, this protects the root thatch or the turf when cornering.

[0009] For example, the runners are bent towards the treadmills.

[0010] It is also proposed that the bar runners be arranged on the chain bar in a replaceable manner. This makes maintenance comparatively easier. It is also conceivable for a chain bar to have studs. For example, the studs could be attached to the chain bar in a replaceable manner, e.g., screwed or riveted.

[0011] Furthermore, a device for arranging a drive of a known scythe mower is proposed, wherein the device has two chain drives, wherein the chain drives are arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the chain drives are firmly connected to one another by means of a support arrangement, wherein each chain drive has a torus wheel, wherein the device is designed to arrange the drive of the known scythe mower, wherein the torus wheel is connectable to the drive of the known scythe mower, wherein the torus wheel is mounted on the chain drive in such a way that, when the drive of the scythe mower is arranged on the device, pivoting of the drive in a vertical direction is possible. As a result, a mower can be realized with a comparatively low pressure load on the surface, while at the same time providing a comparatively high level of comfort for the machine operator.On the other hand, the cutter bar can be pivoted and / or lifted on the device.

[0012] For example, the torus wheel meshes with a chain of the tracked unit on both the slack side and the tight side. Each tracked unit, for example, has two torus wheels, which are movably mounted on the same axle.

[0013] It is further proposed that the device comprises a chain as mentioned above.

[0014] It is also proposed that the device include a driver's cab, which is connected to the support assembly. This increases the operator's comfort.

[0015] For example, the driver's cab is designed as a closed cab. It is conceivable that the driver's cab has mirrors, windows, windshield wipers, exterior and / or interior lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, and / or an air purification system.

[0016] It is also proposed that the device include a lifting device. This makes the device universally applicable.

[0017] For example, the lifting device is designed as a front loader. It is conceivable that the front loader has a bucket and / or a fork.

[0018] It is also proposed that the device include a hydraulic lower link. For example, the hydraulic lower link is located at the rear. This expands the device's possible applications.

[0019] It is also proposed that the support arrangement be designed in such a way that the distance between the track drives is adjustable. This allows the device to be adapted to various known drives of conventional scythe mowers. This protects the environment, since the old scythe mower can continue to be used as the drive when purchasing the device.

[0020] It is also proposed that the device has a spring-loaded seat.

[0021] A further exemplary embodiment of the invention is a mower with a device according to one of the previously mentioned embodiments, which has the drive of a known bar mower.

[0022] For example, the mower has a ground pressure of less than 50 grams / cm^2. Character description

[0023] Several embodiments are explained in more detail with reference to the following drawings, giving further details and advantages.

[0024] They show: Fig. 1 a mower in a perspective view from the side at the front and top, Fig. 2 the mower according to Fig. 1 in a side view, Fig. 3 the mower according to Fig. 1 in a front view, Fig. 4 the mower according to Fig. 1 in a view from above, Fig. 5 a detailed view Fig. 1 of the mower’s chain drive according to Fig. 1, Fig. 6 a detailed view of a chain link from Fig. 4, the mower according to Fig. 1, Fig. 7 a perspective view of a chain link from below, Fig. 8 a sectional view of a track drive with a view from above of the track drive, Fig. 9 a perspective view from the rear and above of a device with a drive arranged thereon and Fig. 10 a sectional view through the track drive according to Fig. 8 with a view of the crawler track from the front.

[0025] Fig. Figure 1 shows a mower 1 comprising a device 2 and a drive 3. The device 2 has two track drives 4, 5. Each track drive 4, 5 has a chain 6. The chain 6 has two tracks 7, 8, which are connected by chain stays 9.

[0026] The device 1 has a support arrangement 10 which connects the two track drives 4, 5 to each other.

[0027] For example, the device 2 has a driver's cab 11, a lifting device 12, a hydraulic lower link 13, a mower 25 and / or a sprung seat 14.

[0028] For example, drive 3 is the drive of a known bar mower with a lever control 15.

[0029] The chain link 9 has rounded ends 16, 17. It is also conceivable that the chain link 9 has prongs 18. It is conceivable that the prongs 18 are replaceable.

[0030] A tracked drive 4, 5, for example, has wheels 19. It is conceivable that the wheels 19 are designed as air-sprung wheels. This makes the wheels 19 comparatively light.

[0031] In Fig. 9, a device 20 is shown. The device 20 has two track drives 21, 22 and a support arrangement 23. In Fig. 9 also shows that a drive 24 of a conventional bar mower can be arranged on the device 20.

[0032] Toroidal wheels 26, 27 are provided on the crawler track 4, 5 for driving the chain of the crawler track 4, 5 by means of the drive. Furthermore, the crawler track 4, 5 has a bearing 28 by means of which the mower can be adjusted in height or pivoted. Furthermore, the crawler track 4, 5 has an adapter element 29 for connecting the crawler track to the support assembly. The crawler track also has a hollow wheel flange 30 for accommodating the wheel hub of a drive of a conventional scythe mower.
