Description

DEVICE FOR SOWING, FERTILIZING AND WATERING SUBSUPERFICIALLY ON LINE Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of the opening knives without cultivation work which can be partially submerged in the soil, for example in a field, to pass the blade at a submerged depth to distribute seeds, fertilizer or water on the ground. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to blade distribution systems, which have replaced plows for cultivation work and the like. It is known that The use of plows or other devices that have for example discs for cultivation work to work the land or otherwise open and turn the zureos across the land, suffer from the disadvantage that the humidity in the soil is unnecessarily exposed to the soil. evaporation. In the past, it was It was necessary to open the soil so that the ground below the surface could be sown, fertilized and watered. If this was done by machinery or manually made, the prior art machine or manual systems also suffer from the disadvantage that the fertilizer was typically distributed very close to the seeds that were being sown occasionally, which resulted in the seeds will burn chemically. Thus, there is a need, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a blade which can be partially submerged in the earth and transferred therethrough, where the blade disturbs the earth minimally and without cultivation work and is adapted to distribute one or all of the seeds, fertilizer or water of the blade in advantageous separate relation, as described hereinafter.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In summary, the device for seeding, fertilizing or watering subsurface of the present invention includes an opening blade having first and second sides extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The first and second sides are advantageously generally symmetrical with one another on one side of a first plane, where the first plane generally bisects the opening blade, and the leading edge and the trailing edge are generally in the first plane. The opening blade has an upper surface and a lower surface extending between the lower or upper edges respectively of the first and second side of the blade. First and second wings are mounted on first and second sides respectively in generally opposite disposed relation to rise outwardly thereof. The first and second wings extend between the first and second front edges of the wing and the first and second rear openings of the opening wing in the first and second wings respectively. The first and second wings are mounted to the first and second sides, respectively, the first and second distances of the bottom surface split generally parallel to the first plane. The opening blade has therethrough, and generally in a first plane, first and second conduits extending from, and cooperating with, the uppermost ends thereof, first and second feed holes in the upper surface. First and second conduits cooperate with, at the lowermost ends thereof, the first and second conduits of the flange which extend subsequently through the first and second flanges, respectively between the lowermost ends between the first and second conduits and the conduit. first and second rear openings of the opening wing. The first and second conduits and the first and second corresponding wing conduits are therefore in communication of the material flow between the first and second feed orifices and the first and second subsequent apertures of the corresponding opening flange for seed flow., fertilizer or fluid as fed from a material feeder, through it during the forward translation of the blade. The opening blade is mountable to the material feeder, so that, generally, it is arranged vertically, when mounted therein, to partially submerge in the ground to a first submerged depth by advancing the leading edge through the ground. The first and second distances are smaller than the first submerged depth, so that the first and second wings are submerged in the ground during the forward translation of the blade. In a preferred embodiment, the knife opening further includes a third conduit extending in material flow communication between a third supply orifice in the upper surface and a rear opening of the opening knife in the rear position on the opening knife. near the trailing edge for the flow of seeds, fertilizers or fluid through it, such as the one fed from the material feeder. Advantageously, the rear opening of the opening blade is positioned centrally relative to the first plane to be generally symmetrically across the first plane, and may be positioned to intersect the opening of the lower surface of the blade. . In this way, the opening of the blade of the rear opening is formed at the intersection of the lower surface at the lower edge of the blade. The rear opening of the opening blade can be in a second plane generally inclined 30 ° relative to a third plane which generally contains the lower surface of the blade, where the third plane is generally orthogonal to the first plane. Advantageously, the first, second and third conduits are generally parallel and inclined rearwardly of their corresponding first, second and third feed holes. The first, second and third conduits may be inclined backward at an angle of approximately 55 ° relative to a fourth plane which generally comprises the upper surface of the blade if the upper surface is a horizontal, generally flat surface, although this is not necessarily so. In one embodiment, but without being limiting, at the minor the first and second conduits are formed by matching the corresponding opposite oriented channels on opposite mounted side panels, mounted opposite on, or mountable on, first and second sides of the blade. In a further aspect of the invention, the third conduit is generally parallel and is adjacent to the trailing edge and the leading edge is concavely curved and forms a pointed tip at the intersection of the leading edge and the lower surface of the blade. Advantageously, the pointed tip can be made of hardened material in relation to the hardness of the material forming the remainder of the opening blade. In a further aspect, the opening blade can be defined as having a longitudinal length dimension and a height dimension, where the longitudinal length dimension is perpendicular to the dimension of a height and both dimensions are in the first plane. In addition, the opening blade has a perpendicular lateral width dimension in the foreground. The dimension of the longitudinal length extends between the leading and trailing edges of the blade, the dimension of the height extends between the upper and lower surface of the blade, and the width of the lateral dimension extends between the first and second sides of the blade. the knife. In the present invention, the dimension of the length is much, that is, significantly greater than the width dimension, as described hereinafter. The dimension of the height in one modality is greater than the submerged depth, so that the blade is supported above the ground and the blade is partially submerged during the forward translation, although it is intended that this is not limiting. That is, it is easily conceivable to mount the blade to a support that itself is partially submerged in the ground. Advantageously, furthermore, the first and second wings are wedge-shaped and the rear edges of the wing are vertexes of the wedge-shaped wings. The sides of the blade can be designed as having upper and lower portions respectively above or below the wings. In this way, the first and second sides have portions generally located between the first and second wings and the upper surface of the blade, and the lower portions generally located between the first and second wings and the lower surface of the blade. On one aspect of this invention, the lower portions collectively form a notched shape, such that a front width dimension of a flared portion forward of the lower portion of the opening blade and of a back width dimension of a flared portion After the lower portion of the opening blade, the dimensions of the front and rear width extending between the lower portions of the first and second sides are greater than an intermediate width dimension of a longitudinally extending notched portion continuously between the front and rear flared portions.
The first wing can be defined as being placed behind a first longitudinal of the leading edge and a second wing as if it were placed behind a second longitudinal distance of the leading edge. Thus, in one aspect of this invention, the first longitudinal distance may be greater than the second longitudinal distance. Correspondingly, the first wing mounted to the first side of the blade at a first longitudinal location generally corresponding to the rear flared portion of the blade, and the second wing can be mounted to the second side at a second longitudinal location corresponding generally to the notched portion of the blade. In the design of the wing of the present invention, the upper surface of the wing on the first and second wings extends rearwardly on the first and second rear openings of the wing of openings on the upper rear wing members. The lower surface of the wing on the first and second wings can form a first wedge angle of approximately 5 degrees with the upper surface of the wing. In addition, the more laterally outer wing surfaces extend between the surfaces of the upper and lower wing. The outermost wing surfaces can advantageously intersect the corresponding first and second sides of the blade at their corresponding first and second edges of the front wing. In addition, the outermost wing surfaces can form a second wedge angle of approximately 5o relative to the first and second degrees of the blade respectively. Advantageously, the first and second wings can themselves also be inclined downwards, so that a pair of corresponding planes bisect the angle of the wedge between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing on each of the first and second wings, where the pair of corresponding planes containing the corresponding front edges of the wing, are inclined forward and backward at approximately 5 ° relative to a generally horizontal plane containing the lower surface, being taken for clarity of this defined relationship that the surface The lower one is generally flat and horizontal, although this is not intended to be limiting, and is not necessary in this way, although in the preferred embodiment it is described hereinafter illustrated as such.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Modality As can be seen in Figure 1, the device for seeding, fertilizing and watering subsurface in line without cultivation work of the present invention is described in a preferred embodiment as an open blade 10. The opening blade 10 has an upper, perforated mounting block, 12 rigidly mounted on top of a generally flat blade structure 14. The structure of the blade 14 has a trunk 16 that generally hangs vertically below the upper perforated mounting block 12. Formed as a lower part of the end 16 is a foot structure indicated generally by the number 18. As also seen in Figures 2-5, the mounting block 12 and the blade 14, including the trunk 16 and the foot 18 are elongated in a generally vertical plane including the longitudinal axis A. With the exception of the wings 20 and 22, as better described below, the external surface of the trunk 16 is uniformly fused in, to truncate in cross-section, a lower surface of foot notched or in the form of a luge 24. In one embodiment symmetrically formed access panels 26 and 28, which are assembled conformationally on the side walls of the trunk 16, relative to the plane of symmetry of the trunk 16. The upper perforated mounting block 12 has holes 30, 32 and 34 formed on its upper surface. The orifices extend downwardly through the block 12 in cooperative alignment with the corresponding channels or channels 36, 38 and 40 that extend downwards in a separate arrangement generally parallel through the trunk 16. The channel 40 also extends downwardly. through the foot 18. The channels 36 and 38 can, in a preferred embodiment that is not intended to be limiting, be formed by the alignment and reduced adjacency of the flanges 42 and 44 on the inner sides of the access panels 26 and 28, respectively, when the access panels are assembled conformationally in opposite relation, to the lateral sides of the trunk 16 to cover the cavity 46 in the trunk 16. The access panels 26 and 28 can be mounted on the trunk 16 by means of a tab 48 or an access panel 26 slidably engaging the corresponding slot 50 in the trunk 16, forming the lower surface defining the cavity 46, for projecting down, towards the foot 18. Similarly, the tongue 52 slidably engages the slot 50 when the access panel 28 is mounted on the starboard side of the trunk 16. The upper ends of the access panels 26 and 28 can be secured by releasable fasteners, for example, a released, cooperating mounted nut and a pair of bolts 56 or the like. With the access panels 26 and 28 mounted on the trunk 16, in order to cooperatively align the flanges 42 and 44, thereby completing the channels 36 and 38, the channels 36 and 38 form a pair of conduits in cooperative alignment between the holes 30 and 32 in the mounting block 12 and the corresponding lower outlet holes 58 and 60. The lower exit holes 58 and 60 are laterally opposite and open towards the respective lower conduits 62 and 64 formed within the respective wings 20. and 22. The lower conduits 62 and 64 open toward the corresponding rearwardly directed openings from beneath their respective wings 20 and 22 as best described below. The tip 66, which may be of a different and hardened material relative to the material forming the mounting block 12, the trunk 16 and the foot 18, is rigidly mounted, by means of bolts or other means known in the art, to the front portion of the foot 18 to form a backward extending point or knot 68, facing forward in the direction of the forward translation B when the blade is translated in use. Advantageously, the mounting block 12, the trunk 16 and the foot 18 can be made of austempered ductile iron (ADI) and the tip 66 can be made of a chromium alloy. Access panels 26 and 28 and wings 20 and 22 can also be made from ADI. The channel 40 is formed within and along the back of the trailing edge of the trunk 16 and the foot 18 to form a generally linear, continuous conduit between the hole 34 and the rear opening 70. Advantageously, the rearmost end the lower surface of the foot 24 is turned upward, for example, to provide the opening 70 with an opening generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the channel 40. More advantageously, the channels 36, 38 and 40 are generally parallel so that they tilt backwards in a downward direction of the holes 30, 32 and 34. The wings 20 and 22 are each formed as truncated wedges or otherwise as what can be described as irregular pyramidal shapes, where the apex of each wedge or pyramid is aligned to face forward (in the direction B) with the wedge diverging backwards to form corresponding formed inner conduits 62 and 64 that open backward to through the base of the wedges. In a preferred embodiment, the acute angles alpha (a) and beta (ß), formed at the apex of the wedges forming the wings 20 and 22, are about 5 °. For clarity and certainty, in the preferred embodiment the top surfaces 20a and 22a, the side surfaces 20b and 22b, and the bottom surfaces 20c and 22c of the wings 20 and 22 are respectively generally flat. The upper surfaces 20a and 22a are inclined forward, slightly backward relative to the plane containing the bottom surface of the foot 24, advantageously at an angle of approximately 5o. The upper surfaces 20a and 22a extend rearwards and are raised outwardly of the rear openings of the rear ducts 62 and 64. The rear openings of the rear ducts 62 and 64 are advantageously formed by reducing the longitudinal length of the side walls 20b and 22b and inclining the rearmost edge of the surfaces 20c and 22c, so that they extend continuously backward from the trailing edge of the side walls 20b and 22b, respectively, to be bent with the foot 18. In the preferred embodiment, the foot 18 is curved along its length so as to form between the curved side walls a forwardly expanded lateral dimension 72 that tapers uniformly towards a reduced lateral direction 74 corresponding to the notching and, progressing backward, a slight flare towards a backward expanded dimension 76. In the preferred embodiment, the size of the foot 18 corresponds to approximately in the longitudinal direction of the axis A to the position of the forward ends of the wings 20 and 22. In use, the blade 16 is translated in the direction B through the ground 78 as seen in Figure 6. The blade 16 it is driven forward and positioned to keep the wings 20 and 22 submerged at a shallow depth below the floor surface 78. Such movement opens the floor from the point 68 upwards, along the leading edge of the foot 18 and the blade 16 producing a small elevation and separation of the ground 78 in opposite directions C. When the blade 16 moves through the ground, the material fed to the holes 36, 38 and 34 flows under the force of gravity through the respective channels 36. , 38 and 40. The material flowing through the material 40 exits through the opening 70 in the lowermost position of the narrow groove 80 formed in the floor 78 by the passage of the blade 14 therethrough. The passage of the wings 20 and 22 through the ground 78 forms ground banks or rocks 82 in the ground when the floor is displaced by the wings to form approximate flanges 84 in the illustration of Figure 7. The forward movement of the blade 14 through the ground 78 extracts material such as fertilizer 86 from the opening 70, and also extracts material such as seeds 88 from the conduits 62 and 64 when the seeds are fed from the channels 36 and 38 through the outlet holes 58 and 60 respectively. It has been found that the passage of the wings 20 and 22 and the passage of the foot 18 in the manner described here, produces a circulation similar to that of a fluid in the D direction of the floor 78 rearwardly of the wings 20 and 22. It will be understood that the view of Figure 7 is an approximation of the cross section through the floor immediately behind the blade 14 as it moves through the ground. Soil, which acts as a fluid, collapses so that it falls downwardly on the shoulders 84 when the ground behind the land banks or rocks 82 is circulated in a rotation contrary to direction D. The applicant has found that this circulation conveys the seeds 88 laterally outwardly along the land banks or rocks 82 to facilitate advantageous lateral separation of the seeds on either side of the furrow 80 separated both laterally and vertically from the fertilizer 86 to inhibit the chemical burn of those seeds, for example for reasons of the spatial relationship approximated by the illustration of Figure 8. It should be understood that the order and type of materials introduced into the holes 30, 32 and 34 can be changed as would be known to one skilled in the art to introduce, for example, the seeds through the holes 30 and 32 and the water through the orifice 34. A person skilled in the art will also understand that the holes 30, 32 and 34 would have to be joined by the appropriate conduits to corresponding hoppers or reservoirs. In the preferred embodiment, although it is not intended to be limiting, certain planes assist in the definition of the relationship of the elements of the present invention in relation to one another, as described and claimed hereinafter. First, the structure of the blade 14 is generally bisected by a first plane, as referred to earlier as the plane of symmetry of the trunk 16, which contains the reference line of the cross-sectional view 2-2 seen in FIG. Figure 1. The cross-sectional view of Figure 2 is a view through a section along that first plane. A second plane E is the plane containing the edges of the opening 70 at the lowermost end of the channel 40. The third plane F is the plane containing the bottom surface of the foot 24. A fourth plane G is the plane containing a upper surface of the mounting block 12. Finally, a plane of bisection of the wing H that bisects the wing 20 dissecting the angle beta and a plane of dissection of the corresponding parallel wing bisects the wing 22 bisecting the corresponding angle beta 22 on the wing 22. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description, many alterations and modifications to the practice of this invention are possible without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be constructed in accordance with the substance defined by the following claims.
