Combined Seedbed Preparation Machine for Single-Pass Residue Burial
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing agricultural machinery requires multiple machines for land preparation, leading to high fuel and time consumption, soil deterioration, and inefficient processing of plant residues and stones, which delays organic decay and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
A combined machine system that processes soil to a depth of 20-30 cm, burying stones and shredding plant residues in a single process, using a blasting system, crushing system, and roller system to prepare the seed bed, reducing the need for multiple machines and optimizing tractor power usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multiple machines (plow, blasting, bottom boiler, rotovator, sweep, harrow, tiller) are used sequentially for land preparation, then each operation can be performed with dedicated equipment, but fuel and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple land preparation operations (blasting, bottom boiler, rotovating, sweeping, harrowing, and tillage) into a single integrated machine system. This merging of functions allows all operations to be performed in one pass, eliminating the need for sequential use of multiple separate machines, thereby reducing fuel consumption and time requirements while maintaining the quality of each preparation operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal machine that performs multiple land preparation functions simultaneously. The single machine is designed with capabilities to execute blasting, bottom boiler, rotovating, sweeping, harrowing, and tillage operations, making it a multi-functional device that replaces several specialized machines, thus improving productivity without compromising operation quality.
2Ease of manufacture
If the whole land is processed including intermediate gaps that will not be used in planting, then complete land preparation is achieved, but additional load and resistance are created for both tractor and machine
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by processing only the specific areas of land that require preparation for planting, rather than treating the entire land area uniformly. The machine is designed to target and process only the cultivation rows and necessary zones, leaving intermediate gaps and non-planting areas untouched. This selective approach reduces the overall load and resistance on the tractor and machine while ensuring complete preparation of the actual planting zones.
3Productivity
If machines (rotovator, sweep, harrow, tiller) work in the direction of pulling the tractor, then they can perform one stroke to stone, plant residue and roots, but this single stroke is not enough to break down residues and prevent mixing into soil
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by designing the machine to perform multiple passes over the same area in a single operational sequence. The integrated system continues to process the soil, stones, plant residues, and roots through successive stages (blasting, bottom boiler, rotovating, sweeping, harrowing, tillage) without interruption, ensuring thorough breakdown and proper incorporation of residues into the soil rather than leaving them on the surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges multiple breakdown and incorporation operations into a single integrated machine system. By combining blasting, bottom boiler, rotovating, sweeping, harrowing, and tillage functions in one machine, it achieves continuous and comprehensive processing of residues and stones, ensuring they are thoroughly broken down and properly mixed into the soil through the combined action of all components working together in sequence.

AI summary
A machine that allows for processing the plant as much as the area where the plant requires and makes the seed bed ready for planting at once and in a single process, for plants planted in the range of 45-70 cm, such as corn, cotton, beet, sunflower, and beans in agricultural areas.
