Description

"SUGAR CANE SINGLE SINGLE STAGE PLANT AND THEIR METHOD FOR SUGAR CANE TOLETS PLANTING".

Field of Application This invention is directed to an apparatus for planting sugarcane tails, and thus the apparatus will typically be known as a "sugarcane tiller planter". The invention is particularly directed to, and especially intended for, this apparatus, the invention also being directed to the method for planting sugar cane tails.

State of the Art Sugar cane develops from the toletes. The helmets are short in length from the sugar cane stem which contains an "eye". New roots and shoots grow from the "eye" of the tails.

Conventionally, the tacks are planted using a sugar cane tiller planter. For small paddocks, a small planter is towed behind a tractor. For the larger ones, self-propelled planters are known.

[004] Most tiller planters plant a single row at a time, although it is also known to have a cane tiller planter providing multiple rows.

[005] The general method is for rows to be formed in paddock and tails to be planted in rows. Sometimes the ranks comprise raised dams that extend across the paddock. A groove is formed at the top of the row mound, and the sugar cane rods are dropped into the groove and then completely covered.

[006] It is known to form the furrows by using a separate machine prior to the planting procedure. That is, a non-furrow sugar cane planter, the furrow is formed using a separate machine.

[007] It is also known to provide a sugar cane tiller planter that forms the furrow at the moment before the tails are being thrown into the furrow.

Usually some form of "shoe" preformer or wedge is used to form a groove at the top of the mound. To prevent soil from falling back into the groove before the studs are thrown into the groove, it is known to provide grooves by forming plates on either side of the preform that keep the groove open until the studs are thrown into the groove.

[009] It is known to provide a separate machine to cover the sugar cane tacks later.

[010] It is also known to provide an attachment (usually a spike or the like) on the back of the cane tiller planter which cultivates the sides of the furrow to cover the cane.

[011] It is also known to provide some compaction wheel shapes for compacting the soil after the cane has been covered with the soil.

[012] It is also known about the sugar cane tiller planter to pour fertilizer into or near the furrow during the sugarcane tillage plantation. Typically, the planter is provided with a fertilizer box in which granulated fertilizer (for example) can be placed. Some forms of measuring device (usually a digger) are provided for measuring fertilizer. The fertilizer is poured under a rigid pipe that discharges the fertilizer in a furrow to the side of the planted bollards or on the other side near the bolls.

Only exemplarily, US Patent 5,367,882, US Patent 4,450,778, US Patent 4,530,293 and US Patent 4,264,690 illustrate different types of sugar cane tiller planters.

[014] There are some disadvantages with current machinery and methods. It is very important that sugar cane buds sprout (germinate) as quickly as possible to prevent sugar cane buds from being attacked by fungi, spoilage or other diseases etc. It is understood that one of the reasons that tacks will not spring so quickly may be that they are not properly positioned. That is, if the bollards are planted in soil that is too dry, the bollocks will not sprout quickly. Also, the soil adjacent to the bollards should be kept warm (by the sun), and it is understood that conventional planting techniques are not able to efficiently propel this event.

[015] Current planting techniques may result in some of the bollards not germinating properly, this places a limitation on the number of sugarcane plants that can grow in a row. It is a great advantage to be able to have sugarcane plants growing together densely in a row when this allows a harvester to efficiently harvest the plants. To explain, sugar cane harvesting is usually performed at a tonnage cost, so the more material in a particular time, the better. Sugarcane planted thickly in a row will enable a sugarcane harvester to harvest a large tonnage in a particular range that is a very efficient system. However, due to the difficulties encountered it is a certain limitation on the number of sugar cane plants that can be increased in a row.

[016] Speeding up the harvester will also enable you to harvest more sugarcane per unit of time. However, it appears that the acceleration of the harvester results in a larger amount of soil / stones, etc. being collected together by the harvester, which results in adverse deterioration of the harvester components, and may also cause adverse deterioration in the sugar mill crushing rollers. Thus, the simple acceleration of the harvester does not solve the problem of improving the efficiency of sugarcane harvesting.

Referring to Figures 9A-D, conventional planting methods are illustrated. Figure 9A shows a flat soil which is formed within a groove (9B) by a machine that simply pushes dirt to either side of the formed groove. The helmets can then be poured into the groove, gently covering them completely. This is the position illustrated in figure 9B. Similarly, Figures 9C-9D illustrate something similar, but this time the soil was molded in a previous season (9C), and a pair of grooves formed in the mold and sugar cane tails are planted at the bottom of each furrow (9D). A disadvantage with the current planting methodology is that the soil around the sugar cane rolls is not heated by the morning sun or the afternoon sun because the mold sides prevent the sun from reaching the soil around the canes. Another disadvantage is that the furrow can collect water during a rainy event and the water does not drain very efficiently and soaks around the sugar cane sills which can cause the sores to acquire a fungal disease that prevents germination.

[018] It would be an advantage if there were the possibility of providing a method which would be able to provide more sugarcane for growth in a particular row. It would be an advantage if it were possible to provide a planting machine with a particular design which would improve the amount of sugar cane it can develop in a particular row.

It will be fully understood that if a prior art publication is referenced herein, this reference does not constitute an admission that the publication forms part of the general common knowledge of the state of the art in Australia or in any other country.

Object of the invention It is an object of the invention to provide a method and / or planter which can overcome at least some of the above reported disadvantages or provide a useful or commercial option.

[021] In one embodiment, the invention resides in the method for planting sugar cane, the method comprising pre-molding the earth along a row to be formed to loosen the soil and push loose soil into at least one. to one side to expose the wetting portion below the ground and form the bed (for example, see figure 9B) by pouring the sugar cane tails into the bed so that 1-8 extend side by side on the bed from the adjacent end to the other adjacent end (for example, see figure 10c), but leaving a gap at the end between the edge and the outermost edge of the bed, covering the beams with soil obtained primarily from the earth in the end space to form a mound, and modeling in such a way that the soil around the tacks is best heated by the sun's rays, all steps being conducted in a single step. sage along the earth.

It is preferred that the above method includes an additional step of filling the groove in the end space which will be formed after the helmets are covered with the ground, obtaining mainly from the earth in the end space, and it is preferred that In this fill step use the soil that was pushed to the side in the precast step.

Typically, the heating effect can be achieved by making the top of the mound relatively flat and each side of the mound tilted at an angle which promotes soil heating by the sun. It is understood that it may be much better for the mound to maintain sun heating if each side of the mound has a slope of 20-60 ° and typically at about 40 °. The mound will typically have the contour as illustrated in figure 10f, and it can be seen that the contour will catch the morning and afternoon sunbeams which are sometimes not as efficient with existing techniques (see particularly figure 9B, and 9D), In addition, there is no groove etc. in the mound that can catch or retain water causing fungal disease of the sugar cane

[024] Also, harvesting sugar cane by a harvesting machine may be more convenient with the particular mound contour. In order to further promote easy harvesting, it is preferred that the sugarcane stakes be dumped at the transverse width of the bed between 300-600mm.

[025] As an illustration only, Figure 5 provides a roll shaping the back of the sugar cane tiller planter that shapes the mound according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, and for illustrative purposes only, the gray line below the roll above the back of the sugar cane planter shaping the mound according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and for the purpose of illustration only, the gray line below the shaping roller in Figure 5 is an approximation of a mound that will be formed by the shaping roller as the roller moves over the mound.

[026] The term "flower bed" means to include the soil that is exposed, since in the pre-modeler it detaches and removes part of the upper soil layer. The bed may have an inverted V-shape configuration (see, for example, Figure 10c), may be below the normal ground surface, may be approximately at ground level, or may still be slightly above ground level. (for example, if a mound was formed in the previous year). The flowerbed can have a width of between 300-900 mm. The soil in the "bed" is expected to be slightly moist, and the top layer drier, but may be circumstances (eg after rain) where not necessarily the case or (eg during drought conditions) where soil support can be substantially dry.

[027] One advantage of having the bed with the inverted V configuration is that when cane tails are dumped onto the bed (for example, figure 10c), and soil is pushed to bury the cane tacks (see, For example, Figure 10d), this action is less likely to cause the beams to move relative to the bed, and to group together.

[028] In another form, the invention resides in an apparatus that can detach the soil (e.g., using a preformer, or a plow, or a scraper or the like) to form a flower bed, and push the (typically mower) soil loosened on at least one side (and typically both sides), plant the sugar cane tails over the flowerbed, remove the moistening soil back over the sugar cane towers to form a mound " irregular ", and shape the mound to promote soil heating around the Typically, the top of the mound is relatively flat, and each side of the mound is tilted at an angle which promotes the heating of the soil by the sun.

[029] It is preferred that the apparatus be designed so that when it removes the soil backwards from the sugar cane tacks, the detached soil that had been detached by the pre-modeler (when the soil can be quickly removed) is not used. dry), but instead use the moistening soil which is at the ends of the flowerbed.

It is preferred that the apparatus be designed so that no groove that may have formed by excavating the moist soil which at the edges of the formed bed and pushing this soil onto the tents is filled therein, and it is preferred that the soil loosened soil (mopping soil) is used to fill any groove formed. The apparatus may comprise a cane planter.

[031] The sugarcane planter may be self-propelled, or towed behind a tractor (for example) and may comprise a feeder for storing sugarcane tacks, a slide rail or the like, through which sugarcane tacks pass, and the sugarcane tacks are dumped into the ground / bed, which means distributing the sugarcane tacks from the feeder to the gutter, a pre-molder which removes an upper layer of soil to form a flowerbed, before the tacks cane are poured onto the bed, a covering means to cover the beams with the soil to form a mound, and a mound shaper (typically a roll) which shapes the mound after the beams have been covered with soil.

Still another embodiment of the invention resides in a sugar cane planter comprising a feeder for storing sugar cane, a pre-molder which removes an upper layer of soil to form a bed, a discharge chute for dumping reed into the flowerbed, a covering means for covering the studs with soil to form a mound, and a moulder shaping the mound after the studs have been covered with soil.

[033] A mound shaper can also work to compact the soil to some degree. The mound modeler may be able to adjust soil compaction when the mound modeler models the mound.

[034] The term "mound shaper" means that the miter does nothing more than just downward pressure on the top of the racks, and instead also models the mound to promote the heating of racks (which is heating). soil around the tacks) during the day.

[035] It is understood that a desirable modeling is one where the soil is pressed and smoothed to catch the sun's rays to heat the soil to a temperature that promotes the germination of the tails. This modeling may include a modeling where the top of the mound is relatively flat and each sidewall is at an angle of between 30-50 °, and typically about 40 ° to catch the sun's rays. This modeling can also facilitate harvesting with reduced soil / stone lifting etc. into the collecting machine.

[036] The feeder may comprise a suitable shape or size, but it is considered that the size of the feeder should be such that it can accommodate sufficient tacks to enable a good proportion of a paddock to be planted. Typically, the feeder will accommodate between 200 kg - 5000 kg of tacks.

[037] The tails will typically be fed from the feeder to discharge through the chute using some forms of means for this. A known type of means includes an elevator which typically comprises a continuous conveyor belt containing transverse blades, and movement of the conveyor belt will lift the tails from the feeder to the top of the discharge chute. If some ways to "stop work" the device may be required, they may be provided to stop excess tacks back into the feeder.

The gutter may comprise any suitable type of device or assembly or apparatus which may feed within the mounds sugar cane tacks. Typically, sugar cane tacks are simply dumped into the bed. It is not considered that any particular limitation should be placed on the rail design unless the rail can function to feed the cane bedding site.

It is preferred that the gutter (or gutters) be of the type that enables a number of tacks to be poured transversely onto the bed. That is, rather than a simple row of tacks being dumped when the planter moves along the jobsite, it is preferred that the project is between 2-8 tacks that can be dumped across the jobsite (ie from one end). from the flowerbed to the other end of the flowerbed). With the method, and the apparatus of the present invention, it is now recognized to have a larger number of tails transverse to the site than previously thought possible (where only a single teat was used).

It is also desirable for the tacks to be poured to form a transverse width of the bed between 300-600 mm.

[041] A pre-modeler is provided. The preformer will typically be part of the planter and typically will be in a front part of the planter so that when the planter moves along the mound, the preformer will loosen the soil. This will then expose the damp part below ground and thereby ensure that the dips are planted in the damp part underneath, it is understood that the dips sprouted faster than was possible until now.

Figure 3 illustrates a pre-molder according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The pre-molder will typically scrape or peel within 1-10 cm of the ground, and the pre-molder will preferably shape into an arrowhead shape to push the loose soil to either side of the formed bed, and also to form. a specific flower bed into which the racks can be dumped and may vary to better accommodate. The pre-modeler can be adjusted in height or angle or both modes. The pre-molder is typically designed to form a bed having a width of about 700 mm through which it may vary to suitness. For example, the layer may be between 300-1200 mm or may have several values. The preformer, and typically a lower part thereof, may be designated in such a manner in which the bed has a slightly inverted V-shaped configuration and example of which is illustrated in Figure 10b.

[043] A covering means is provided to cover the frames with the soil. The cover means may comprise a disc in which it is positioned at a particular angle and a configuration such that it pushes or lightly strikes the soil back over the top of the tails when a planter moves forward. The covering means will typically be part of the planter and an example of a covering means according to one embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8.

[044] The covering means may also form an irregular mound by pushing the soil back over the tacks. It is preferred that the covering means be designed to take the moist soil from the edges of the formed bed and to push the soil back over the top of the tents. It is preferred that for the cover medium the mopping soil that has been pushed to each side of the bed by the pre-modeler is not returned. In one example, the cane tails may be poured over the bed, but leaving a gap at the end between the last cane tether and the cane end, and the mulching means may excavate the soil from the end area space. and return this soil back to the top of the tacks. This soil will typically be more moist than the soil that has been pushed to either side of the preformer. This end area will typically be 30-200 mm. In a preferred example, the end space will be about 50mm.

The covering means can thus form a groove within the ground end space when it is excavated from this end space and push the excavated soil back over the top of the tails. For this reason, the planter may contain some means (which may be called a sweeper) to fill in the formed furrow. The scraper can use the soil that has been pushed to (each) side of the bed by the pre-modeler when this mop soil, which is preferably not placed on top of the racks, but can be used as a filler within the groove.

As an alternative, or an addition, a scraper or other device may be provided to assist in the formation of anterior soil replacement for shaping the mound.

[047] A mound shaper is provided to shape the mound after the studs have been covered with soil. The mound shaper will typically be part of the tiller planter and will typically be positioned somewhere behind the mulch so that as quickly as possible the mulch pushes the soil back over the mulches, the mound moulder passes over the mulch. mound to shape the mound.

[048] The mound modeler may comprise at least one roll which rolls over the mound and compresses the soil, and shapes the soil. The mound shaper is expected to comprise a single shaping roller, but there may be circumstances where it is advantageous to provide a larger number of rolls.

[049] An example of a mound shaper according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. The mound shaper may have energy to rotate so that the rollers pass over the mound instead of being pushed. over the mound. It is preferred that the mound modeler also smoothes the soil on the mound. The mound shaper will also preferably compress the ground, and it is preferred that the mound shaper can be adjusted to its (preferably continuous) compression ability and thus can be made using one or more piles or the like.

[050] The sugar cane tiller planter can thus be assigned to excavate part of the top of the drying layer in a paddock by pouring the tiller into the below moist layer (eg the bed) by digging the moist soil (typically in the spaces at the far end of the jobsite) the place of moist soil over the top of the studs, and then filled into any groove formed by digging the moist soil with what was excavated from the drying layer, and then pressing and shaping the whole mound into one step.

[051] Conventionally, a sugar cane planter digs a furrow into the earth and the topsoil is mixed with the below moistened soil layer and after the tolets have been poured into the furrow and the furrow has been closed, the mound It is not modeled in any advantageous way.

[052] An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings, to be understood by way of illustration rather than limitation, in which: [053] Figure 9A-9F schematically illustrates the state of the art of the typical cross-sectional mound (upper figure 9A and 9B), a groove formed by conventional means (median figure 9C and 9D), the reed rod placed in the groove and buried by the ground with a blow back into the mound (identified as 10G-10H). Still the figure identified as 10a-10f schematically illustrates planting according to the embodiment of the invention.

[054] The present invention is accompanied by attached photographic additional material for a better understanding and visualization of the subject matter: Figure 1 illustrates a front view of the sugar cane planter; Figure 2 illustrates a side view of the sugar cane tiller planter; Figure 3 illustrates a pre-molder positioned on a lower front end of the sugar cane planter; Figure 4 illustrates a rear view of the sugar cane planter and illustrates the mound shaper located below the cane planter; Figure S illustrates an enlarged view of the mound modeler; Figure 6 illustrates a juxtaposition of the mound shaper and mulching means for covering the canes with the ground (which in the particular configuration comprise a circular disc); Figure 7 illustrates part of the sugar cane tiller planter; Figure 3 shows an enlarged view of the sugar cane tiller planter parts; Photo 9A through 90 illustrates a mound that has been molded by the planter (state of the art); Figure 10a to 10f illustrate the steps for planting with planter according to one embodiment of the invention in use; Figure 11 reveals the mound formed by the planter in the plateau area; Figure 12 illustrates a kickback plate to aid the return of soil over the tacks; and Figure 12 illustrates an optional accessory that can be attached to a planter. Best way to conduct the invention.

Referring initially to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a sugar cane tiller planter 10 is illustrated which, in a particular configuration is a towed vehicle and comprises land wheels 11, a relatively large feeder 12 for holding the tiller tacks. cane, a pair of fertilizer receptacles 13, and an elevator 14, which comprises a continuous conveyor that operates to lift the sugar cane tails from the feeder 12 and a discharge chute for dumping the tails into the ground, the elevator 14 This is by itself not unusual in the design and most sugar cane planters contain some types of elevator to transfer the sugar cane from the feeder to the discharge chute 15. Part of the elevator 14 is also illustrated in Figure 4. .

[056] The bottom of each receptacle 13 is connected to a metric device such that a auger 17 for feeding fertilizer into the mound to fertilize the germinated tails.

[057] In a lower front portion of the planter 10 there is provided a preform 16 which is best illustrated in figure 3. The preform has an arrowhead type configuration and functions for digging or pushing a layer of soil (typically 10-40cm) from the ground and push this soil to either side to a central bed having a width of about 700 mm which may comprise a moist soil which is best for germinating sugar cane tails. A wall 16A of the preform 16 extends slightly forward (see Figure 3) to make sure that the ground is pusher on either side of the preform and not simply falling over the top of the preform. Referring to Figure 2, the rear end of the preform 16 comprises a small internally facing wall 16B. The pre-modeler also configures the flowerbed inward in a light inverted V-shape configuration.

Behind the pre-molder is an opening (not shown) that forms the bottom of the discharge chute 15.

[059] In use, elevator 14 lifts the sugarcane tails from the feeder and dumps the sugarcane tacks into the discharge chute, which then discharges the sugarcane tacks into the ground (or perhaps more). correctly the flowerbed that has been forming by the pre-modeler 16). In a particular embodiment, the opening (not shown) is one that about five tacks can be dumped side by side on the bed (see figure 10c) when a planter travels along the field.

[060] A covering means is provided to cover the frames with soil. In particular configuration, the cover means comprises a circular disc 18 which is illustrated in at least one figure 1, figure 2, and figure 6. Disc 18 is at an angle to form an irregular mound (see for example figure 10d). It is assumed that there is a disc 18 on each side and slightly behind the mound excavator 16. The positioning of the disc 18 relative to the preformer is that the disc will excavate the moist soil at each area edge 50 of the bed. This is illustrated at least in figure 10c. The end area is about 50 mm wide and is designed to ensure that the reed rods are not dumped entirely at the edge of the bed, but instead the outermost reed rods are spaced from the end of the bed. by about 50mm. The disc can then excavate the moistened soil at this end area, and push the soil back over the top of the tails being illustrated in figure 10d. It can be seen that a groove 51 is formed at each end area 50 by virtue of the soil having been dug by the disk and pushed over the tails to form an irregular mound.

[061] This groove 51 is filled in with soil mop 52 which has been pushed to either side of the bed by the precast. In particular configuration, a small sweeper 16C (see figure 10d), but also seen in figure 6, is arranged to be positioned on and spaced from the outside of disk 18 to function to excavate the mopping soil 52 into groove 51 to finally provide a mound shape illustrated in figure 10e.

Behind disc 18 is a mound shaper 19. The mound shaper 19 is illustrated in at least Figure 2, and clearly illustrated in Figure 4 and Figure 5, and also illustrated in Figure 6. The mound shaper 19 comprises a molded roll which extends into the soil under the planter 10 (see figure 4). The function of mound modeler 19 is to compress the ground irregularly by forming the mound to also flatten and shape the mound to have a particular cross-sectional configuration. The desired cross-sectional configuration is illustrated in figure 10e, and it can be seen that this cross-sectional configuration corresponds to the shaping roller 19 (see figure 5), the bottom lines of the mound shaper 19 illustrate the mound mold that will be formed. .

[063] The mound shaper (which is molded by roller 19) is rotated by a hydraulic motor 20 (see figure 6) and is designed to pass the roller over the mound at the same speed as the planter. An excavator 21 (can be seen in figure 5) is provided to excavate any dirt attached to the molded mound so that the outer wall of the molded mound is clean and smooth to provide a molded and smooth mound. The molded roller 19 may be pressed onto the molded ground and this can be achieved using a hydraulic pile driver 22 (see figure 6).

[064] The various components of the planter 10, for example the elevator 14, the motor 20 that drives the mound molder, the fertilizer auger etc., can all be powered by hydraulic power, and the hydraulics can be connected. to the lead tractor or something.

[065] Alternatively, a small gear may be provided over the planter to guide a hydraulic pump.

Referring to Figure 9A-B, these illustrate a conventional planting method present in the TECHNICAL STATE where a furrow is formed by pushing the soil to either side of the furrow (9B) and the cane tails are poured in. furrow and lightly covered. Figures 9C and 9D illustrate something similar but at this time with a pre-shaped mound.

Referring to Figure 10a-e, they illustrate the method according to one embodiment of the invention. In this configuration, the soil (Figure 10a) has a top layer of mop soil that is removed by the cane tiller planter so that a flowerbed 53 is formed with a dry soil excavated 52 being on either side of the flowerbed (Figure 10b). . The sugar cane tails 26 can then be planted side by side on the flowerbed (Figure 10c) and it is possible to plant five tails on the flower bed side by greatly improving the density of the sugar cane plants. Most reeds are spaced internally from the edge of the bed to form an edge spacing of about 50 mm. The planter disc 18 digs the soil into the end area 50 (which is the moist soil) and pushes this soil over the top of the tails (Figure 10d) to form an unmodified uneven mound in the soil. The groove 51 which is left behind by excavating the soil which is filled using an excavator 16c and using the soil mop 52, and to form an irregular mound (Figure 10e). The mound roll 19 shapes the mound (Figure 10f) so that the sides of the mound are at an angle of about 40 ° (about) so that the mounds buried in the mound can be warmed by the sun longer. than is achieved by conventional techniques.

Figures 10 GH illustrate the first of two steps which is used according to the configurations of the invention in the case where there is a pre-shaped mound (Figure 10G), typically formed at the previous station, and the pre-modeler pushes across the mound to form the flower bed (Figure 10FI), which is similar to that described in 10b thus subsequent steps are similar to those described from figure 10b - 10f.

Figure 11 illustrates a mound that has been modeled by a planter according to the embodiment of the invention.

Figure 12 illustrates an enlarged view of a planter according to the embodiment of the invention in use.

[071] The planter may also contain other accessories. For example, a front of the planter may contain a device or apparatus for removing weeds from the row. This device or apparatus may comprise some forms of cultivation devices. By way of example only, Figure 13 illustrates a relatively conventional manufacturing crop device which is attached to the front of the tractor, and something similar may also be attached to the front of the planter or other devices and attachments may be attached to / or form part of the planter.
