Abstract

Rotary weeding machine for cleaning cultures in furrows, said weeder being towed or carried by a vehicle powered or not, being comprised of vertical tools and of protectors for the cultivated plants in order to avoid any deterioration of the latter. Said rotary weeder has rotary assemblies (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) driven by hydraulic or electric motors sliding on slide beams via needle roller bearings (16). Said assemblies are mounted on threaded shafts (63-65 and 67-69) at the right side of the machine rotating in the same direction by means of a hydraulic or electric motor (37). A hydraulic or electric motor (35) on the left side rotates said shafts (64-66 and 68-70) on the counter direction of motor (37) in order to allow the rotary assemblies to move closer to each other or away from each other, thereby allowing to adjust the machine according to the space of the plantations cultivated in the furrows. Said rotary weeder protects by means of its protectors the plants cultivated and pulls out so-called parasitic plants and eliminates them by crushing, thereby avoiding the use of any chemical product.

Description

This rotary weeder allows: IO / to destroy the bad plants which disturb the cultivated plants (aeration).

20 / to recover the mineral salts which plants called "parasites" can assimilate so that they benefit future crops.

30 / To decrease the content of nitrates or other in the waters of rivers, groundwater, etc.

Indeed it is possible to sow seeds of plants specialized in the intervals of the cultures, having the faculty to digest salts or others (nitrates, phosphates ...)
When these seeds have germinated they grow at the same time as the cultivated plant and the cleaning by the rotosarcleuse makes it possible to crush these parasitic plants which are reincorporated in the soil with elements which can be digested by the cultivated plant. These salts and others (nitrates, phosphates etc ...) returned to the soil in this way will allow them to be assimilated by future crops.

All the parts are placed on a metal support (beams 9-I0-11-87-89-90 and 84-86-85 forming a rigid frame (see section G plate 7 / I9).

On this chassis will be placed sliding beams 12-13-1415 supporting hydraulic or electric motors 1-2-3-4-5 6-7-8- according to the explanatory plan.

Explanation of a unitary motor assembly allowing the suction of the plant and the grinding.

The mobile motor (3) will be fixed on a plate 17 supporting the motor which itself will be placed on the intermediate piece 18 of well-defined shape to rest on the beams 14 and 15 which will include needle bearings 16 which will allow the motor to slide on the beams freely.

The axis of the hydraulic or electric motor is fixed on a transmission shaft 22, the other end of which is fixed on a rotary support plate 19. This rotary assembly (shaft) and plate (19) is placed in a tube 23 centered by bearings 24 forming the support for the transmission element of the tool holders.

The rotary support 19 centered by the bearings 24 where several tool holders 20 are placed and fixed will receive a tool 88 at its ends having a helicoidal shape allowing the suction of the plant to uproot and grind it.

Between the plate 19 and the tool support 20, an oscillatory system 21 will be placed with a spring which will avoid the tool box when the latter hits a stone by modifying its rotation diameter.

This rotating unitary unit which can move is integral with a protective sheet 27 having a base 91 fixed to the rear by means of a support adjustable in height 50 by the screw 52. This mobile unit is moved manually by a crank 55 or by a hydraulic motor and on the front by a vertical sliding support I08 adjustable by the screw I09 manually by the crank I04 allowing to adjust the height between the bottom of the protective sheet and the rotary tools 88. The crank 104 can be replaced by a hydraulic motor.

For a good understanding, a machine with 8 4-row motors has been designed, see boards 1/19 to 16/19 for automatic horizontal adjustment with hydraulic locking and boards 17/19 to 19/19 for mechanical locking after automatic adjustment.

Motors 1 and 2 are integral with protectors 25-26-27
Motors 5 and 8 are integral d0 32-33-34
Motor 6 is integral with protectors 28 and 29 Ee motor 4 DO DO 30 and 31
Motors 3 and 7 are not attached to any guard, the plants being protected by guards 29 and 30.

Motors 1 and 5 will clean an I / 2 xiang on each opposite side of the machine and will each be joined with 2 protective sheets, i.e. the hydraulic motor NO I sheet 25 and 26 NO 5 of sheet 33 and 34 In some cases these sheets may have a manual spacing adjustment system between them (spacing between 25 26 and 33 - 34.

These motor sets and mobile protectors, automatically adjusted, make it possible to obtain a modification of the width of the parts to be cleaned while retaining the cultivated plant which is protected, that is to say 11 always regular space for protecting cultivated plants between the protective sheets 26- 27 28-29-3031- 32-33.

The mobility of hydraulic motor assemblies and motorized rotary tools is achieved by drive shafts. In this case either 63-65 64-66 67-69 68-70 have threads 42-43-44 in this case.

These shafts will be threaded with different pitches on different diameters depending on the movement of the rotary assemblies required for the different spacings of the crop to be cleaned.
The motors will be placed on one or two or more transmission rods. According to the case of the drawing for explanation they are
two in number that is to say that the motors will be placed between the two. Each mobile assembly (motor and tool) will be fixed by nuts with the same thread as the threaded shafts on each side allowing regular and parallel movement on the threaded shafts.

These threaded shafts (63-65) (64-66) 67.69) (68-70) will be fixed to the frame by means of sealed bearings or bearings and will be placed in parallel (71 to 75 - 92 - II4 to I30-l35 -T44)
Boards 1/19 (malus setting) 2/19 (beet setting) 3/19 carrots cutting D setting (see board 7 / I9) show the motors 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.

The protective sheets are represented by the following parts 2526-27-28-29-30-31-32-33 and 34.

The boards 4 / I9 setting but 5/19 setting beets 6 / I9 setting carrots each represent the different positions given as an example allowing cleaning between the rows of riveted bottoms.

The section CC '(see plate 4 / I9) shows the arrangement of the motors and the adaptation on the threaded shafts 42-43-44 by nuts. 46-47-48 correspond to a thread dimension and the pitch of the threaded shaft. (The nuts 46-47-48 are integral with the motors.)
These dimensions make it possible to obtain the necessary displacement of the motor according to the adjustment according to the cultivated plants.

to obtain this displacement, the threaded shafts must be rotated in the direction indicated by the hydraulic or electric motors 35 and 37 which are supplied by a hydraulic or electric power unit which are identical (same rotation in revolutions per minute.

Section A Board 8 / I9 9 / I9 IO / I9 (see section board 7 / I9)
Section B - 11/19 12/19 13/19 (see section plate 7 / I9).

The motor will rotate the threaded shafts 63-65-6-7 - 69 all in the same direction.

Motor 35 will rotate threaded shafts 64-66-68 - 70
all in the same direction but opposite to the motor 37.

To obtain a precise and rapid adjustment, distributors or contactors 111 - 113 will be placed.

Section A / I 4/19 I5 / I9 I6 / I9
The distributors or contactors 111 - 113 are placed to be controlled by an arm 112 placed on each motor which will come to bear to open the circuit by pass of the circuit supplying the motors 35 and 37 for the maximum and minimum cleaning adjustment. cultures.

To obtain the adjustment of the intermediate spacings, distributors or contactors will be placed on a slide and can thus be moved manually or automatically by a jack allowing precise adjustments between the maximum and the minimum of the possible widths, for example between the adjustment of the penalty and carrots and where appropriate for beet.

When the adjustment is carried out either automatically or manually, the working elements must be locked to be precise and avoid any vibration. Blocking can be achieved in 3 ways: IO / hydraulically and automatically for all the mobile working elements by a simple operation using a distributor supplying a cylinder on each mobile element.

Each mobile element has a small jack 59 which, once supplied, presses on the chassis and blocks the mobile element when it receives oil pressure through a pipe83 (this pipe can be taken from the hydraulic outlet of the tractor or other (planks 8 / I9 9 / I9 IO / I9 11/19 12/19 13/19 section
AA 'BB'.

20 / Mechanically manual locking to each movable element 1 / by screwing 2 / by pressure (cams).

30 / Mechanical blocking see boards 17/19 18/19 19/19
Mechanically and automatically the blocking of all the mobile working elements is done by a simple operation.

Each mobile working element is provided with a locking actuating arm 93 and which causes a locking eccentric 95 to pivot pivoting about an axis 94 bearing on 12-13-14-15.

A movable control bar 97 sliding and pivoting in fasteners 96 having forks 98 to push the arms 93. This control bar 97 can pivot and pivot in advance by the screw pitch I03.

This set of mechanisms is controlled by a jack 99 pushed by a shaft I00 fixed by a pivot IOI on an eccentric disc I02 secured to the control bar 97.

When the jack 99 is supplied, it pushes the arm I00, rotates the disc I02 which rotates the control bar 97 by a quarter of a turn, the latter by the screw pitch I03 advances and therefore the forks of relay 98 act on the arms 93 which rotate the eccentric 95 which blocks the mobile working assembly on the sliding frame 12-13-314-15.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING VERSION (HYDRAULIC or ELECTRIC (electromagnet).

This machine being entirely hydraulic makes it possible to automatically adjust the position of the driver of the towed machine. It can clean all crops sown in furrows with a spacing of 0.20 to I.OO ML. or more depending on the size of the machine.

The advantages of this machine thus constructed allow mechanical cleaning without the use of weedkiller products which are:
IO / poisons for humans.

20 / which prevent so-called parasitic plants from germinating
wind them, digest elements in the soil or in the fertilizers that the cultivated plant is not always capable of digested
rer. It is therefore necessary that certain so-called parasitic and bad plants exist because they alone can digest these elements.

These so-called parasitic plants "put into small particles by the so-called machine (ROTOSARCLEUSE) having predigested the mineral salts and others allow the cultivated plant to be able to assimilate them and therefore are not found in streams and rivers, not being more washed away by runoff because some nitrates and phosphates from waste and fertilizers have elements that cannot be assimilated by cultivated crops.

In general, short-cycle plants seem all indicated
for the removal of excess minerals in non-fixable form, certain domestic plants or weeds.

Obviously nature itself does what is necessary because the
soil for its balance will regularize and select from it
even the plants that will bring it the most regeneration.

By cultivating the land in this way we eliminate the weeds
bants and synthetic fertilizers, the more we eliminate the more
share pesticides and achieve a healthy and economical culture
which is much sought after at present to obtain
runoff and less impure water tables
and synthetic minerals and other poisons.
