Abstract

The attachment carries a block of fodder ex-silo storage and for distributing pieces of the block ready for eating by farm animals etc. The attachment comprises a vertical, rectangular framework with one side fixed to the tractor and the other side equipped at its lower edge with initially horizontal forks or platform. A block of fodder, pref. palletised, is carried on the forks. The forks are pivoted on a horizontal axis at their heels so that the forks can be swung gradually from horizontal to vertical. This presses the block progressively against a horizontally displaceable, endless conveyor band in a horizontal plane and fixed to the framework. The conveyor band is fitted with teeth to tear pieces from the block. The frame has an end stop to hold the block against the displacing action of the conveyor band. Pref. the width across the forks or platform is sufficient to carry several blocks simultaneously. The attachment enables a tractor to take several fodder blocks out from a storage silo and transport these to an area where, at least part of the blocks, are broken down and distributed as edible pieces to farm animals etc. The blocks are easier to handle than pre-chopped fodder. The fodder blocks are broken down in situ so the animals get freshly cut fodder.

Description

l'invention concerne un dispositif porté ou portable ou la distribution de blocs de fourrage. the invention relates to a carried or portable device or the distribution of fodder blocks.

Depuis que se développe l'ensilage de fourrage en vert, les agriculteums ont eu à résoudre les pro blêmes de reprise en silo et de distribution de ce fourrage. te problème de la reprise en silo a été résolu par des désileuses à couteau, à pelle ou a scie, qui permettent d'obtenir aes blocs. Lais ces blocs sont compacts, fibreux et difficiles à dilacérer et, en quelque sorte, à défibrer. Cn a déjà proposé des dispositifs combinant un convoyeur avec la désileuse ; de tels dispositifs résolvent le problème c.e la distribution du fourrage immédiatement après découpage d'un bloc, mais ne resolvent pas le problè me de la reprise en stock de blocs préalablement découpés. Since the development of green fodder silage, agriculteums have had to solve the problems of recovery in silo and distribution of this fodder. The silo recovery problem was solved by knife, shovel or saw silage cutters, which made it possible to obtain blocks. Lais these blocks are compact, fibrous and difficult to shred and, in a way, to defibrate. Cn has already proposed devices combining a conveyor with the silage cutter; such devices solve the problem c.e the distribution of fodder immediately after cutting a block, but do not solve the problem of taking stock of blocks previously cut.

Le but de l'invention est de résoudre un tel problème et la solution de ce problème doit permettre de procéder au désilage par plusieurs blocs à la fois, ce qui est rationnel du point de vue organisation aussi bien du temps du personnel que de l'emploi du matériel, surtout si le tracteur qui porte la désileuse a d'autres travaux a effectuer. Si on permet au cultivateur de stocker les blocs de fourrage, il ne sera plus obligé d'équiper son tracteur de la désileuse pour chaque besoin de distribution. On pourra alors avantageusement dissocier le désilage et la distribution grâce à un stockage intermédiaire, ce qui nécessite évidemment qu'on ait rsolu le problème de la distribution indépendamment du désilage. The object of the invention is to solve such a problem and the solution of this problem must make it possible to proceed with the unloading by several blocks at the same time, which is rational from the point of view of organization both of staff time and of use of equipment, especially if the tractor carrying the silo cutter has other work to do. If the farmer is allowed to store the blocks of fodder, he will no longer have to equip his tractor with the silage cutter for each distribution need. We can then advantageously dissociate silage and distribution through intermediate storage, which obviously requires that we have solved the problem of distribution independently of silage.

Le but ce l'invention est atteint par un dispositif qui comporte un bati vertical présentant, du côté opposé à ses moyens de porte et en position basse, un organe de ramassage d'un bloc de fourrage, le bâti vertical porte, du côté du moyen de ramassage en arrière de celui-ci et au-dessus du niveau de ramassage, un convoyeur à plan sensiblement vertical à déplacement horizontal, dont les organes mobiles présentent des saillies d'arrachement de fourrage. Un dispositif de ce type est particulièrement simple et robuste. N'organe de ramassage est de tout type connu en soi, tel que fourche à dents pointues ou pelle ou encoure fourche à palette, ce qui permet de stocker les blocs de fourrage sur palettes. The object of the invention is achieved by a device which comprises a vertical frame having, on the side opposite its door means and in the low position, a member for picking up a fodder block, the vertical frame carries, on the side of the pickup means behind it and above the pickup level, a substantially vertical plane conveyor with horizontal movement, the movable members of which have tear-off projections. A device of this type is particularly simple and robust. Any pick-up member is of any type known per se, such as a fork with sharp teeth or a shovel or a fork with a pallet, which makes it possible to store the blocks of forage on pallets.

Il est conforme à l'invention que le dispositif comporte un moyen de positionnement d'arrêt du bloc de fourrae au moins du côté d'évacuation du convoyeur. It is in accordance with the invention that the device comprises a means for positioning the stop of the feed block at least on the discharge side of the conveyor.

Pour accélérer l'arrachement et la distribu- tion du fourrage, il est avantageux que le dispositif comparte des moyens de pressage du bloc de fourrage contre le convoyeur, par exemple par le fait que l'organe de ra- massage du bloc de fourrage est relevable contre le convoyeur par basculement autour d'un axe horizontal arrière. To accelerate the tearing off and the distribution of the fodder, it is advantageous for the device to compare means for pressing the fodder block against the conveyor, for example by the fact that the scooping member of the fodder block is liftable against the conveyor by tilting around a rear horizontal axis.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la descripticn qui sera donnée ci-après uniquement à titre d'exemple, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention. On se reportera à cet effet aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue de face d'un dispositif selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue latérale du dispositif de la figure 1,
- la figure 3 est une vue en plan du même dispositif.Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description which will be given below solely by way of example, of an embodiment of the invention. For this purpose, reference is made to the appended drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front view of a device according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a side view of the device in FIG. 1,
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the same device.

Un dispositif de l'invention comporte un bâti vertical 1 rectangulaire comportant à l'arrière des moyens de fixation 2 à un véhicule, tel que tracteur ou chariot élévateur. En bas du bâti 1, et en avant de celui-ci, est disposée une fourche 3 comportant des dents carres 4 pour soutenir et soulever une palette 5 portant un bloc de fourrage 6. Cette fourche 3 est montée sur un arbre 7 pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal 8 disposé peu en avant du plan vertical d'un convoyeur 1C, dont il sera parl- plus loIn.L'ensemble de l'arbre 7 et de la fourche 5 peut pivoter sur l'axe 8 grâce à un levier 20 dirigé vers l'arrière et commandé par un vérin 21 dont les deux extrémités sont articulées respectivement en 2 sur le bati 1 et en 23 à l'extréL:ité dudit levier 20.  A device of the invention comprises a vertical rectangular frame 1 comprising at the rear attachment means 2 to a vehicle, such as a tractor or forklift. At the bottom of the frame 1, and in front of it, is a fork 3 having square teeth 4 for supporting and lifting a pallet 5 carrying a fodder block 6. This fork 3 is mounted on a shaft 7 which can pivot around a horizontal axis 8 disposed slightly in front of the vertical plane of a conveyor 1C, which will be discussed further. The assembly of the shaft 7 and the fork 5 can pivot on the axis 8 thanks to a lever 20 directed towards the rear and controlled by a jack 21 whose two ends are articulated respectively in 2 on the frame 1 and in 23 at the end: ity of said lever 20.

l'avant du bâti 1 porte un convoyeur 10 dont le plan est vertical. Le convoyeur 10 est un convoyeur à chaines 1 et à râclettes dentées 12 dont les chaînes tcurnent autcur d'un tambour moteur 13 à axe vertical, entraîné par un moteur 14, et d'un tambour de renvoi 15 également à axe vertical. Des capots de protection 9 sont fixés au bâti 1 ou en font partie. the front of the frame 1 carries a conveyor 10 whose plane is vertical. The conveyor 10 is a chain conveyor 1 and with toothed rakes 12, the chains of which are connected to a motor drum 13 with a vertical axis, driven by a motor 14, and a return drum 15 also with a vertical axis. Protective covers 9 are fixed to or form part of the frame 1.

le bâti 1 porte encore deux déflecteur de guidage du bloc de fourrage, à savoir un déflecteur 16 ayant la hauteur du convoyeur et conportant sur toute sa hauteur une ouverture 17 du côté d'évacuation du convoyeur, c' est-à-dire à droite sur la figure 1, si celui-ci se déplace selon la flèche représentée, ainsi qu'un déflecteur 18 symétrique du précédent, mais non pourvu d'ouverture. the frame 1 still carries two deflector for guiding the fodder block, namely a deflector 16 having the height of the conveyor and including over its entire height an opening 17 on the discharge side of the conveyor, that is to say on the right in Figure 1, if it moves according to the arrow shown, as well as a deflector 18 symmetrical to the previous one, but not provided with opening.

On voit que le dispositif est commode, robuste et facilement maniable. On prend une palette 5 portant un bloc 6 au moyen de la fourche 3 à palette, on déplace le véhicule, tracteur ou chariot élévateur, au lieu de distribution, par exemple la rangée de mangeoires d'une étable. On déplace le véhicule sur une rangée de distribution tout en actionnant le convoyeur et en appliquant au moyen du vérin 21 une force tendant à relever la fourche 3 qui presse alors le bloc de fourrage contre le convoyeur 10 et ses palettes dentées 12 qui le déchiquette ou le dilacère et le Jette en place par l'ouverture 17 jusqu'à ce que la fourche ait pris la position relevé 3' de la figure 2. Bien entendu on peut procéder de même avec un bloc nu non monté sur palette, mais il sera préf rable, dans ce cas, d'avoir une fourche à dents plus serrées ou meme une pelle de ramassage à la place de la fourche.  We see that the device is convenient, robust and easy to handle. We take a pallet 5 carrying a block 6 by means of the pallet fork 3, the vehicle, tractor or forklift is moved to the place of distribution, for example the row of feeders of a stable. The vehicle is moved on a distribution row while actuating the conveyor and applying by means of the jack 21 a force tending to raise the fork 3 which then presses the fodder block against the conveyor 10 and its toothed pallets 12 which shreds it or the macerator and throws it in place through the opening 17 until the fork has taken the raised position 3 'in Figure 2. Of course we can do the same with a bare block not mounted on a pallet, but it will In this case, it is preferable to have a fork with tighter teeth or even a pick-up shovel instead of the fork.
