Description

I 22484191

  The invention relates to a distribution platform

  feed containing rotational means for discharging

  located above the ground, for example, one or more unloading drums and the bottom of which consists of a conveyor to move the forage on the platform towards

  the means for unloading the fodder.

  Silage is usually loaded on

  transport platforms with cranes or similar machines.

  This has the disadvantage that this forage is not deposited

  IO in a uniform manner and can not be unloaded

  regularly. In addition, some of the forage is rapidly oxidizing

  and finally the platform, once loaded, transports

  finally, a small amount of forage.

  Apparatuses are known for cutting I5 into silage of parallelepipedic boots. We can

  thus properly loading a platform however the unloading

  poses some difficulties. Indeed, the fibers of

  fodder nested in each other stand out

  between them, especially if they are long and

  wind they wind up at the unloading drums.

  The present invention is particularly intended to achieve

  a fodder distribution platform that allows a distribution

  uniformity of the fodder it carries and which, when loaded with boots, facilitates conservation by avoiding

rapid oxidation.

  The platform according to the invention is of the type comprising rotary unloading members such as drums, a bottom consisting of a conveyor for moving the feed to the unloading members and is characterized in that it

  comprises means for shearing the fodder during its

  Placement to the unloading organs.Thus, thanks to this arrangement, the forage is separated and disintegrates from

  from its base resting on the carrier so that one can ef-

make a uniform distribution.

  According to a characteristic of detail, the means for shearing the fodder cemplennert organs that hold

  the upper end of the boots, while the lower end

  is driven by the carrier. So, when

2 2484191

  uses boots, these are held at the top while the lower part is moved by the carrier. The boots therefore tend to warp for

  shear and disintegrate in the vicinity of an inter-

  mediate their height. These movements favor the de-

loading and avoid a jam.

  The retaining means may be constituted by pins intended to penetrate the boots from the

upper faces thereof.

  I0 To prevent parts of fodder boots

  brought to the unloading drum are projected to the

  above it, a screen in the form of

  and / or combs may be provided and located in front of

  boots in the direction of their moving on the platform.

  I5 According to a particular constructive feature

  the pins are supported by a hinged frame on a side wall of the platform, with the interposition of means for lifting the frame to separate the pins for

the loading of the platform.

  Finally, the frame is articulated on one of the side walls located on the unloading side, one of the free ends of said frame having a closure panel of an opening of the side wall for loading the platform. Thus, simultaneously we can clear the pins and open the loading panel to allow filling the platform, while the simple closing of the panel ensures

  the placement of the pins in the forage.

  The invention will now be described with more

  details with reference to a particular embodiment

  bind given as an example only and represented to

attached drawings.

  In these drawings Fig. I is a profile view of the forage distribution platform, FIG. 2 is a view of the installation according to the

figure I, -

  I0. Fig. 3 is a schematic section of the platform during loading and FIG. 4 is a schematic section of the platform

during unloading.

  The distribution platform represented in

  I5 sins is equipped with a chassis I and wheels 2 as well as

  of a loading hopper 3. The bottom of the loading hopper-

  It is equipped with a conveyor 4 with transverse cleats composed of two endless chains interconnected by transverse cleats 5. This conveyor is controlled by a transmission block comprising a motor 6. The platform is intended to be coupled to a tractor and the set of rotating devices can be trained from the

PTO of it.

  In the unloading space, are placed one above the other, two drums 7 and 8. These two drums are controlled from the tractor (not shown in the drawings). A shaft 9 secured to the platform is controlled from the tractor which via a transmission

  IO chain actuates the unloading drum 7. Through the

  The movement is retransmitted to the upper drum 8. As it appears in the drawing, the side wall at the location of the drums has an opening, so that

  that the products can be ejected outside.

  The upper part consists of an articulated I2 mobile frame which is connected to the side wall of the platform

  drum side by a hinge. This moving part is

  by a set of cylinders I3. In addition, this part is provided with pins I4 which, from the open position of

  articulated mobile part I2, penetrate into the boots char-

  I5 when closing the latter I2 (see Fig. 3). In addition, the mobile frame I2 is provided with a closure panel I6 located opposite the hinge point which

  in the lower position of the frame, closes the loading side.

Operation is as follows

  As can be seen in Figure 3, the boots

  Silage I5 are placed horizontally in the direction of the fibers on the platform. After the I2 mobile frame has

  to keep the boots by the upper pins

  I4, the conveyor 4 is slowly moving.

  At this moment there is a movement in the boots of

  seam in the layers, movement which tends to detach them from each other. Especially in the area of the lower side

  the boot may break up so that the transverse bars

  The unloading systems can easily catch on.

  It is clear that for a continuous unloading, the fodder boots are going to change more and more

  that a good flow of the drums is assured.

  In order to prevent a boot from being projected above the upper drum, an I7 screen in the form of plates and / or combs can be placed in the front space

  upper of the boot located at the front.

  It should be noted that in the context of the invention, a large number of modifications is possible. Instead of the unloading drums, it is possible to use an unloading chain or the like, but also the pins -I4 can

  be executed adjustable or mounted with springs. By these systems

  We will have the guarantee of a sufficient penetration in the fodder boots. In the embodiment described and shown, use is made of a distribution platform that discharges laterally. However, it is possible to use a larger platform on which several boots could be loaded and which could unload on the front side or

  at the rear, possibly by means of a trans-

versal.

  The control of the different driving elements

  may be different from the one shown.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and which has been

  represent; many changes can be made

  details without departing, for that, from the framework of the in-

vention.
