Abstract:
A loading bucket conveyor (3) for a planting machine has an endless belt (6) with individual loading buckets (7) which is deflected by a top deflecting roller (8) and by a bottom deflecting roller (9). A brush arrangement (10) with bristles (12) projects into the path of displacement of the loading buckets (7) in the area of the bottom deflecting roller (9). The loading buckets (7) are thus forcibly cleaned by the bristles (12) during their displacement.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for planting bulbous and tuberous plants, in particular potatoes, comprising a storage hopper (5) for bulbs or tubers to be planted, a conveyor (13,14) comprising parallel rows of elements (15) for receiving bulbs or tubers from the storage hopper (5) and releasing said bulbs or tubers again, and a guide (18) for guiding the released bulbs or tubers to a common delivery opening (20). The conveyor (13,14) comprises at least three rows of such elements (15), and the device (1) is configured such that differences between the times of fall of bulbs or tubers from different rows are compensated by differences in the moment and/or the height at which the bulbs or tubers are released above the guide (18).
Abstract:
There is disclosed a potato planter (10) which comprises a hopper (11), a distribution chamber (14) at the lower end of the hopper, an outlet leading from the distribution chamber to a potato receiving zone (15), and a planter unit (12) comprising a train of potato lifter cups (17) which are movable through the potato receiving zone (15). The cups (17) move up through an elevation run (16), and then invert to pass downwardly along a descending run (19), at the bottom of which individual potatoes are planted one by one into a previously formed furrow. A guide plate (22) is mounted at the lower end of the hopper (11) for movement between a closed position (22a) in which it co-operates with the planter unit (12) during normal planting operations, but which can take up an open position (22b) to permit gravity discharge of unused potatoes at the end of the planting operation, substantially without coming into contact with the cups of the planter unit.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine fahrbare Kartoffelpflanzmaschine (1) mit einer Fördereinrichtung (2) zum im Wesentlichen vertikalen Fördern von Kartoffeln (3), wobei die Fördereinrichtung (2) ein oberes und ein unteres Rad (4, 5) aufweist, um welche ein Endlosförderer (6) mit Bechern (7) zum nach oben Fördern der Kartoffeln (3) verläuft, wobei die Becher (7) zumindest in einer Abwärtsbewegung in einem Kanal (8) geführt sind und an ihrer Rückseite ein Noppenprofil (9) aufweisen, welches die Gefahr eines Abbrechens von Keimen (10) der Kartoffeln (3) zumindest reduziert.
Abstract:
Eine kombinierte landwirtschaftliche Maschine (l ) umfasst eine Pflanzeinrichtung (3), insbesondere eine Kartoffellegeeinrichtung, mit wenigstens einem Vorratsbehälter (10), einer diesem zugeordneten Entnahmeeinrichtung und einer Setzschar (7), sowie eine nachgeordnete Einrichtung zum Enddammaufbau (4). In Fahrtrichtung vor der Pflanzeinrichtung (3) ist ein Lockerungswerkzeug (2) zur Saatbeetbereitung angeordnet und in Fahrtrichtung vor dem Lockerungswerkzeug (2) zum Zerkleinern des Bodens und zum Abstützen der Maschine ein oder mehrere Räder (18). Bei einem Verfahren zur maschinellen Saatgutausbringung, wobei die Arbeitsschritte Saatbeetbereitung, Aussaat sowie Enddammaufbau durch an einer landwirtschaftlichen Maschine (1 ) angeordnete Werkzeuge erfolgen, werden die genannten Arbeitsschritte gleichzeitig in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang durchgeführt. Hierbei wird zunächst der zu bearbeitende Boden durch Räder (18) der Maschine überfahren, um den Boden gleichmäßig zu zerkleinern und zu zerkrümeln, anschließend durch ein Lockerungswerkzeug (2) das Saatbeet bereitet, danach die Saat bzw. das Pflanzgut ausgebracht und schließlich der Ξnddamm aufgebaut .
Abstract:
The invention relates to a potato planter comprising a transport system comprising at least one transport device of the first kind (6A, 6B) at least one transport device of the second kind (8A, 8B) the transport device of the first (6A, 6B) kind being arranged for receiving potatoes from a storage hopper (10) and transporting these potatoes to the transport device of the second kind (8A, 8B), the transport device of the second kind planted in the driving direction of the potato planter at a uniform mutual distance, the transport device of the first transport direction (6A, 6B), and the transport device of the second kind (8A, 8B) being arranged for transporting potatoes received from the first transport device in a second transport direction to the respective locations where the potatoes are to be planted an angle included between the first transport direction and the second transport direction. The transport system, being provided with passage means (24A) arranged for interrupting the feed-through of potatoes from the transport device of the first kind to the transport device of the second kind.
Abstract:
A potato seed planter (10) includes one or more planting units (40) with an endless conveyor. A plurality of cups (58) are attached to the conveyor and each cup (58) receives a potato seed as the conveyor travels upwardly between upper (52) and lower (50) sprockets. As the cups (58) pass around the upper sprocket (52), any extra seeds in cups (58) are removed by centrifugal force, differential velocity and/or a vibration unit (98). These extra potato seeds (8) are recycled and returned to the seed bowl (45). The cups (58) then travel through a generally horizontal singulation section (100) and around a third sprocket (54). The cups (58) are inverted as they pass around the third sprocket (54) and the seeds (8) fall onto the back surface of the next forwardly adjacent cup (58). A guide structure (110) holds the seeds (8) in the desired position until they reach a discharge area (112) where the individual seeds (8) are discharged into the furrow.
