Soil Cultivation Machine Angled Console Modular Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing soil cultivating machine lacks flexibility in the arrangement of support arms and leveling blades, limiting its adaptability to different working widths and requiring complex assembly processes.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of angled consoles between the support frame and support arms, which integrate the connection of the bottom roller, support arms, leveling blade, and seed drill, allowing for adjustable and modular configurations, including a sliding guide for height adjustment of the leveling blade and clamping elements for easy attachment and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If coupling elements are firmly connected in an integrated manner to the support frame of the bottom roller, then structural stability is improved, but flexibility in arranging support arms and leveling blade is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is divided into modular components: fixed coupling elements attached to the bottom roller support frame, and detachable support arms with mounting plates. This segmentation allows the stable integrated base to coexist with flexible detachable components, resolving the contradiction between structural stability and arrangement flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The support arms transition from fixed integrated connections to detachable dynamic connections via mounting plates and coupling elements. This allows the system to adapt between stable fixed configurations and flexible reconfigurable states, enabling both structural stability and arrangement versatility.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the leveling blade is fixed to the bottom roller support frame, then positioning stability is improved, but adjustability of the leveling blade is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The leveling blade mounting system uses detachable coupling elements and mounting plates that allow the blade to be fixed stably during operation while enabling easy adjustment and repositioning. The dynamic connection system provides both positioning stability and adjustability by allowing the blade to be securely attached at different locations along the support arms.
3Stability of the object's composition
If support arms are arranged in a fixed four-bar linkage configuration, then mechanical stability is improved, but adaptability to different working widths is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The four-bar linkage support arm system is segmented into detachable sections with standardized coupling elements. This allows the mechanical stability of the four-bar configuration to be maintained while enabling reconfiguration for different working widths by attaching or removing support arm sections.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling elements and mounting plates are designed with universal compatibility across different support arm configurations and working widths. This multi-functionality allows the same coupling mechanism to maintain mechanical stability while adapting to various working width requirements.

AI summary
A soil cultivation machine (1) with a tool frame (3) extending transversely to the direction of travel (2), on which several soil cultivation tools (4) are arranged at intervals from one another for soil cultivation; a soil roller (6) arranged behind the soil cultivation tools (4) and having a support frame (5), which is connected to the tool frame (3) in a height-adjustable manner via support arms (7.1, 7.2) arranged at intervals from one another transversely to the direction of travel (2) for adjusting the penetration depth of the soil cultivation tools (4) into the soil; a leveling bar (15) arranged between the soil cultivation tools (4) and the soil roller (6), which is connected to the support frame (5) of the soil roller (6) via support legs (17), wherein the support arms (7.1, 7.2) are designed as a four-bar linkage. To increase the flexibility of the arrangement of the support arms (7.1, 7.2),2) and the leveling blade (15), it is provided that an angled bracket (11) is attached to the support frame (5) of the soil roller (6) and the support arms (7.1, 7.2) arranged in a four-bar linkage arrangement, each bracket having a rearward-projecting bracket arm (11.1) and a front downward-projecting bracket arm (11.2), that the respective rear bracket arm (11.1) of the bracket (11) is attached to the support frame (5) and the respective front bracket arm (11.2) of the bracket (11) projects downward into the space (14) between the rear of the soil cultivation tools (4) and the front of the soil roller (6), that the leveling blade (15) is attached to the downward-projecting bracket arm (11.2) by a support rod (17).
