FLOOR PREPARATION MACHINE WITH DISTRIBUTION DEVICE

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a soil cultivation machine, particularly for agricultural use, preferably for simultaneous soil cultivation (e.g. mechanical weed control) and distribution of suitably granular (e.g. granular) and / or solid material (e.g. fertilizer and / or seed).

[0002] WO 03 / 039237 A1 discloses a seed drill for direct seeding and / or mulch seeding with a frame supported on the ground by running wheels, on which seed coulters are arranged side by side in an upright plane in several transverse rows, spaced apart and at intervals from each other, preferably by means of depth control rollers, and guided in their penetration depth into the soil, wherein a soil cultivation device with soil cultivation tools is arranged behind the seed coulters and preferably behind the running wheels on the frame via a coupling device, wherein the soil cultivation tools are designed as tools that engage in the soil, the tools are arranged in several transverse rows one behind the other and at intervals from each other, and one tool is arranged (viewed in the direction of travel) in the space between two seed coulters.

[0003] WO 98 / 03053 A1 discloses an integrated soil cultivation implement designed to be coupled to the rear of a towing vehicle and to perform a series of different soil cultivation operations while the implement is being moved forward by the vehicle, comprising a frame, a coupling arrangement at the front end of the frame for coupling the device to the rear of the towing vehicle, transversely extending rows of harrow tines mounted on the frame, a roller-like soil packer mounted on the frame and generally extending parallel to the rows of harrow tines, the packer being adjustable relative to the frame so that the packer's engagement with the soil is controlled by the working depth of the harrow tines, and a first transverse row of seed coulters mounted on the frame, and a second transverse row of fertilizer distribution coulters also mounted on the frame.

[0004] Agricultural tillage machines with several tillage tools arranged side by side for mechanical weed control are known in the prior art in a wide variety of embodiments, for example, reference can be made to DE 10 2020 111 400 A1 and DE 10 2019 122 712 A1. To increase the working efficiency of tillage machines, it is known, for example, from DE 1 607 385 A1, to additionally use spraying devices for applying liquid plant protection products.

[0005] If a tillage machine, such as a so-called tine harrow, is to be used to apply granular material, a problem arises, particularly in the arrangement of the necessary equipment (e.g., hopper, distributor, distribution lines, etc.). This problem is especially pronounced with tillage machines that have large working widths. A particular issue arises when a tine harrow uses a distribution tower to divide the material among numerous application points, especially if the tines of the tine harrow are spaced less than 10 cm apart, perpendicular to the working direction. Furthermore, the arrangement of distribution towers and hoppers becomes more complicated if the tine harrow is to have pivoting tine side sections for transport, for example, on uneven ground.to be able to fold up to a maximum permissible transport width of 3 meters, which also poses a risk of crushing distribution lines.

[0006] One object of the invention is to create a soil cultivation machine, in particular with a large working width, which is designed for simultaneous soil cultivation and distribution of suitably granular and / or solid material and preferably has an optimized arrangement of one or more distribution devices and / or is suitable for complying with, for example, legally permissible maximum transport dimensions despite a large working width.

[0007] The problem can be solved by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims or will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention.

[0008] The invention relates to a soil cultivation machine, particularly for agricultural use (e.g. a hoe, a harrow, a rotary harrow or the like), preferably for simultaneous, e.g. mechanical, soil cultivation and distribution of, e.g. granular (e.g. grainy) and / or solid material (e.g. fertilizer and / or seed).

[0009] The soil cultivation machine comprises a tine field with a variety of tines, in particular harrow tines and / or spring tines.

[0010] The tine field comprises a tine middle section and at least two tine side sections, preferably at least one tine side section each conveniently located to the left and right of the tine middle section.

[0011] The tine side parts can be conveniently pivoted upwards, preferably relative to the tine middle part, e.g. into a transport position, e.g. by at least 80°, preferably by substantially 90°.

[0012] The soil cultivation machine comprises at least one distribution device, preferably at least one distribution tower (e.g., with a riser pipe and / or distribution head or distribution ring with a plurality of outlets), for dividing the material to be spread among a plurality of application elements for distributing the material. However, the soil cultivation machine can also comprise, for example, a plurality of distribution devices (e.g., distribution towers (e.g., each with a riser pipe and / or distribution head or distribution ring with a plurality of outlets)) for dividing the material to a plurality of application elements for distributing the material.

[0013] A special feature of the soil cultivation machine is that at least one distribution device (preferably in the working direction of the soil cultivation machine) is positioned in front of the tine field and / or at least one distribution device (preferably in the working direction of the soil cultivation machine) is positioned behind the tine field.

[0014] The at least one distribution device is therefore preferably positioned outside the area of ​​the tine field.

[0015] The tine assembly comprises a tine center section and tine side sections pivotably mounted on the tine center section by means of (e.g. first) pivot axes, preferably to be able to pivot the tine side sections into a transport position (advantageously upwards), in particular into a transport position with a transport width reduced compared to a working width of the soil cultivation machine.

[0016] The first pivot axes of the tine side sections are preferably aligned essentially parallel to each other. Alternatively or additionally, the tine side sections can be pivoted upwards by means of the first pivot axes, for example, by at least 80° or at least 90°, particularly into the transport position.

[0017] It is possible that the tine side parts each have at least two subsections, wherein the at least two subsections preferably each comprise a second pivot axis (in particular enabling at least 170° folding, in particular enabling at least and / or substantially 180° folding) in order to be pivotable about the second pivot axes in addition to the first pivot axes.

[0018] It is possible that the second pivot axes can be actuated, for example, by lifting cylinders, which may be positioned, for example, essentially parallel to and / or within the front and / or rear crossbeam structures of the tine center section.

[0019] The tine field can therefore preferably be folded upwards into the transport position via at least two or at least four pivot axes.

[0020] It is possible that the (e.g. second) pivot axes of the sub-sections are essentially aligned parallel to the (e.g. first) pivot axes of the tine side parts.

[0021] The (e.g. first) pivot axes of the tine side parts and / or the (e.g. second) pivot axes of the sub-sections are preferably aligned essentially parallel to the working direction of the soil cultivation machine.

[0022] The respective sections of the tine side parts can preferably be pivoted and / or folded relative to each other by at least 170° (e.g., by essentially 180°).

[0023] The tine field can therefore be designed to be foldable at least once or at least twice on each side, for example, to allow the tine field to be pivoted into the transport position.

[0024] The soil cultivation machine can, for example, include at least one storage container for providing and transporting material to be distributed. The storage container is preferably connected to the at least one distribution device by means of at least one material supply line.

A distribution device is attached to each tine side section (e.g., directly or indirectly, preferably by means of a support structure) (e.g., to the front crossbeam structures or to the rear crossbeam structures of the tine side sections), preferably so that it can be pivoted together with the respective tine side section (advantageously upwards into the transport position).

[0037] The distribution devices on the tine side parts can, for example, have a substantially equal or different lateral distance to the central axis of the tillage machine and / or, in particular, be positioned offset from each other in the working direction of the tillage machine, e.g., to avoid colliding with each other when the tine side parts are swiveled (preferably upwards into the transport position).

[0043] It is possible that the soil cultivation machine has a height adjustment device (preferably motorized and / or actuator-operated (e.g. hydraulic piston-operated)) to adjust the height of the tine field, particularly to change the tine working depth, preferably by means of support wheels of the soil cultivation machine.

[0044] It is possible that an electronic control device is provided to control the operating devices and / or the height adjustment device, in particular to change the working depth.

[0045] Particularly in the working position of the soil cultivation machine, the tine field can preferably be defined as the tine field which is positioned between the front crossbeam structures of the tine center section and the tine side sections and the rear crossbeam structures of the tine center section and the tine side sections.

[0046] The tines are preferably harrow tines and / or spring tines.

[0050] The soil cultivation machine and / or the tine field can, for example, have a working width of at least 5m, at least 8m, at least 11m or at least 15m.

[0051] It should be mentioned that the transport position (suitable for the tillage machine and / or the tine section) has a transport width that is reduced relative to the working width (suitable for the tillage machine and / or the tine section).

[0066] The preferred embodiments of the invention described with reference to the figures are partially identical, with similar or identical parts being provided with the same reference numerals, and reference may also be made to the description of the other embodiments for their explanation. For illustrative purposes, not all parts in the figures are always provided with reference numerals.

[0067] The Figures 1 to 9The figures show different views of a soil cultivation machine 100 in the form of a harrow according to an embodiment of the invention. Figures 1 to 6 show the soil cultivation machine 100 in working position and the Figure 8 and 9 The image shows the 100 soil cultivation machine in transport position.

[0068] The soil cultivation machine 100 is preferably used for simultaneous soil cultivation (especially mechanical weed control) and distribution of (especially granular and / or solid) material.

[0069] The soil cultivation machine 100 comprises a tine section 10 with a plurality of tines 1 (e.g., harrow tines) and preferably at least two distribution devices 20 in the form of, for example, two distribution towers, each with a riser pipe and a distribution head or distribution ring with a plurality of outlets for dividing the material to be distributed to a plurality of application elements 30 for distributing the material. A storage container 40 is also provided for carrying and supplying the material to the distribution devices 20 and thus to the application elements 30, wherein the conveyance of the material is expediently pneumatic.

[0070] A special feature is that the distribution devices 20, particularly in the working direction wd of the tillage machine 100, are positioned in front of the tine section 10. However, embodiments are also possible in which at least one distribution device 20 is positioned behind the tine section 10 in the working direction wd of the tillage machine 100, or in which at least one distribution device 20 is positioned in front of the tine section 10 in the working direction wd of the tillage machine 100 and at least one distribution device 20 is positioned behind the tine section 10 in the working direction wd of the tillage machine 100.

[0071] The storage container 40 is preferably also positioned outside the tine section 10, and preferably behind the tine section 10 in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100. However, embodiments are also possible in which the storage container 40 is positioned in front of the tine section 10 in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, for example, at least one distributor device 20 and the storage container 40 can be positioned together in front of or behind the tine field 10.

[0073] The distribution devices 20 are expediently connected on the inlet side to the storage container 40 by means of distribution supply lines L1 and expediently connected on the outlet side to the application elements 30 by means of distribution lines L2.

[0074] The spreading elements 30 can be positioned, for example, in the tine field 10 and / or preferably in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100 in front of the tine field 10, preferably in such a way that distributed material can be incorporated into the soil by means of the tines 1.

[0075] The tine assembly 10 comprises a tine center section 13 and tine side sections 11, 12 pivotally mounted on the tine center section 13 by means of first pivot axes, preferably to allow the tine side sections 11, 12 to pivot upwards into the transport position. A possible pivoting mechanism is described with reference to the Figure 10 Explained further below.

[0076] The distributor devices 20 on the tine side parts 11, 12 preferably have a substantially equal lateral distance to the central axis M ( Figure 3) of the soil cultivation machine 100. However, embodiments are also possible in which the distributor devices 20 on the tine side parts 11, 12 have a different lateral distance to the central axis M of the soil cultivation machine 100 and / or are positioned offset from each other in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100, preferably so that they do not collide with each other when the tine side parts 11, 12 are pivoted into the transport position, but are moved past each other, for example.

[0077] The tine middle section 13 comprises, in particular in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100, a front crossbeam construction fb3 and a rear crossbeam construction rb3 and is preferably limited at the front by the front crossbeam construction fb3 and at the rear by the rear crossbeam construction rb3.

[0078] The tine middle section 13, in particular its crossbeam constructions fb3, rb3, can also be used for the attachment of at least one distributor device 20 and / or the storage container 40.

[0079] The tine side sections 11, 12 each comprise, particularly in the working direction wd of the tillage machine 100, a front crossbeam structure fb1, fb2 and a rear crossbeam structure rb1, rb2, and are preferably bounded at the front by the front crossbeam structures fb1, fb2 and at the rear by the rear crossbeam structures rb1, rb2. Laterally, the tine section 10 can be bounded on both sides by a sidebeam sb.

[0080] In the context of the invention, it is possible that the soil cultivation machine 100 also includes 10 tines outside the tine field.

[0081] In the illustrated embodiment, the storage container 40 is positioned behind the rear crossbeam structure rb3 of the tine center section 13 and is attached to the tine center section 13, e.g., by means of a support structure 41 (Figure 5), e.g., to the rear crossbeam structure rb3 of the tine center section 13.

[0082] In the illustrated embodiment, a distributor device 20 is positioned in front of the front crossbeam structures fb1, fb2 of the tine side parts 11, 12 and is supported, for example, by means of a respective support structure 21 ( Figures 5 and 6 ) attached to the tine side parts 11, 12, e.g. to the front crossbeam constructions fb1, fb2 of the tine side parts 11, 12.

[0083] In the illustrated embodiment, the distributor devices 20 together with the respective tine side part 11, 12 can be pivoted into the transport position.

[0084] However, as already mentioned, embodiments are also possible in which at least a distribution device 20 and a storage container 40 are positioned in the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100 in front of the tine field 10 or behind the tine field 10, so that the distribution material supply line(s) L1 and / or the distribution material lines L2 can preferably run essentially exclusively in front of or behind the tine field 10.

[0085] It is possible that the soil cultivation machine 100 (preferably motorized and / or actuator-operated (e.g. hydraulic piston-operated)) includes actuating devices 50 to pivot and / or raise or lower individual tine sections of the tine field 10 and / or individual tines 1, in particular to change a tine working depth.

[0086] The soil cultivation machine 100 can, for example, include a (preferably motorized and / or actuator-operated (e.g. hydraulic piston-operated)) height adjustment device to adjust the height of the tine section 10, particularly for changing the tine working depth, preferably by means of support wheels of the soil cultivation machine 100.

[0087] An electronic control device may be expediently provided to control the actuating devices 50 and / or the height adjustment device, in particular to change the tine working depth.

[0088] The tine section 10, particularly in the working position of the tillage machine 100, is defined as the tine section 10 formed between the front crossbeam structures fb3, f1, fb2 of the tine center section 13 and the tine side sections 11, 12 and the rear crossbeam structures rb3, rb1, rb2 of the tine center section 13 and the tine side sections 11, 12. However, it is possible, for example, that the tillage machine 100 also includes tines outside the tine section 10.

[0089] In the illustrated embodiment, the soil cultivation machine 100 includes, by way of example, two distribution devices 20. However, embodiments are also possible in which the soil cultivation machine 100 includes, for example, only one distribution device 20 or more than two distribution devices 20. Embodiments with at least two storage containers 40 are also possible.

[0090] In the illustrated embodiment, both the distributor devices 20 and the storage container 40 are positioned outside the tine field 10, so that neither the distributor devices 20 nor the storage container 40 extend into an area above the tine field 10.

[0091] Figure 7 Figure 1 shows a perspective detail view of the soil cultivation machine 100, in particular of a spreading element 30 with impact element (e.g. a splash plate), whereby the impact element can be used to distribute material over a surface and / or in the form of a spreading fan.

[0092] Figure 10 Figure 1 shows a highly schematic front view of a tine field 10 for a soil cultivation machine 100 according to an embodiment of the invention, in particular to illustrate a pivoting mechanism to be able to pivot the soil cultivation machine 100 into a transport position.

[0093] A tine field 10 comprises a tine center section 13 and tine side sections 11, 12 pivotably mounted on the tine center section 13 (e.g. by at least 80°, preferably substantially 90°) by means of first pivot axes pa1 in order to be able to pivot the tine side sections 11, 12 advantageously upwards into the transport position.

[0094] Optionally, the tine side parts 11, 12 can each comprise at least two subsections 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2.

[0095] The at least two subsections 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2 can each include a second pivot axis pa2, which advantageously allows the respective tine side parts 11, 12 to be folded together (e.g. by at least 170°, preferably substantially 180°).

[0096] Consequently, the tine side parts 11, 12 can preferably be composed of two sub-sections 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2, wherein the two sub-sections 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2 can preferably be pivoted relative to each other by at least 170°, preferably substantially 180°.

[0097] The pivot axes pa2 and the pivot axes pa1 and, for example, the working direction wd of the soil cultivation machine 100 are preferably aligned essentially parallel to each other.

[0098] The tine field 10 can therefore preferably be folded upwards into the transport position by at least two pivot axes pa1 or at least four pivot axes pa1, pa2.

[0099] Figure 11 shows a highly schematic top view of a tine field 10 for a soil cultivation machine 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.

[0100] Figure 11In addition to pivot axes pa1, the illustration shows in particular a front crossbeam construction fb1 of a tine side part 11, a front crossbeam construction fb2 of a tine side part 12 and a front crossbeam construction fb3 of a tine center part 13. Also illustrated Figure 11 in particular a rear crossbeam construction rb1 of the tine side part 11, a rear crossbeam construction rb2 of the tine side part 12 and a rear crossbeam construction rb3 of the tine middle part 13. The tine field 10 is (preferably in the working direction wd and / or in the working position of the soil cultivation machine 100) e.g. by the crossbeam constructions fb1, fb2, fb3, rb1, rb2, rb3.

[0101] Figure 12Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a soil cultivation machine 100 according to another embodiment of the invention, in particular in working position, but in particular without distributor device 20 and without storage container 40, which, however, can be positioned on the soil cultivation machine 100 as disclosed herein.

[0102] In the context of the invention, the following arrangement variants are possible, for example (where wd of the soil cultivation machine 100 is correspondingly left front and right rear): 1. Front tank - towing vehicle - at least one distribution device - tine field 2. Front tank - towing vehicle - tine field - at least one distribution device 3. Towing vehicle - storage tank and at least one distribution device - tine field 4. Towing vehicle - storage tank - tine field - at least one distribution device 5. Towing vehicle - at least one distribution device - tine field - storage tank 6. Towing vehicle - tine field - storage tank and at least one distribution device

[0103] The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above.
