Pattern description

The subject of the utility model is a planter for woody cuts, especially energy willow, which enables regular planting of cuttings in accordance with the assumed planting parameters.

The growing demand for biomass on the fuel market, especially for various forms of wood, intensifies the activity in the search for new technical means enabling the production of biomass on small acreages with low labor inputs and an increase in labor productivity. The specialized machines used for planting energy willow cuts include planters, the various solutions of which are known and could be used for this purpose, but generally do not meet the special requirements that are necessary in this type of plantation. One of such structures is known from the Polish patent description No. 160580, the subject of which is a wicker planter. It consists of a frame structure equipped with a hitch to the tractor, road wheels and five stands for people introducing wicker cuttings through pipelines to appropriately made furrows. A significant disadvantage of this planter is the inability to maintain equal, optimally determined distances between individual seedlings. The only factor determining this parameter is the skill and experience of people operating the described planter. Also from the Polish patent description No. 162194 a rootstock planter is known, which can be used in nursery and orchard crops. When using this planter, rooted rootstocks are most often planted and therefore its structure is quite complicated. Similarly, the planter for fruit trees, which is the subject of Polish patent application No. P387730, is not suitable for use when establishing an energy willow plantation.

Taking into account the very large number of plants planted when establishing new plantations, which ranges from twenty to sixty thousand pieces per hectare, it is absolutely necessary to eliminate manual planting, which is often used in practice. This is especially true of small plantations.

This problem is solved by the new design of the planter, which fully meets the conditions for planting cuttings when establishing plantations of energy plants, especially energy willow.

The planter of cuttings of plants with woody shoots, with a support frame equipped with a three-point suspension system for the tractor and road wheels, and in the rear part with pressure wheels, next to the planted seedlings, as well as with the seat of the person operating the planter, according to the utility model, it is characterized by the fact that preferably has two working sections with a spacing corresponding to the distance between the rows to be planted, each of which includes a rotary soil cutting disc and a sizing bar located behind it, a seedling foundation channel, and a dosing drum, behind which, in turn, a pair of coupled press wheels is located with a crossbeam of the frame on which the seat of the person operating the planter is placed. The dosing drums of both working sections have blind nests of seedlings spaced apart every 72 °, the position of nests in the drum of one section is shifted by 36 ° in relation to the nests in the drum of the adjacent section. The dosing drums are placed on a common axis with the road wheels, which on the outer circumference have anti-skid projections, while the axle with the said wheels and drums is rotatably coupled to the supporting frame. The zone of the dosing drums holding the seedlings in the nests is covered in the upper part with a cover with an opening for introducing the seedling into the nest and in the lower part with a sizing bar adapted in shape and appropriately positioned in relation to this drum.

The new design of the planter is an original solution, especially designed for planting the cuttings of the energy willow, which is characterized by a simple structure, which makes it reliable in difficult sweat conditions. It can work with any type of agricultural tractor equipped with a three-point machine suspension system. It also enables regular planting of cuttings in accordance with the assumed parameters of their spacing. Due to the fact that the dosing drums of adjacent sections are staggered to each other by an angle of 36 °, an alternating planting system in both planted rows is obtained. You can also easily change the spacing of seedlings by replacing the road wheels. For this purpose, it is planned to equip the planter with sets of these wheels of different diameters. The structure that is the subject of the utility model may be extended with further working sections.

The object of the utility model is shown in the drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows, in a schematic view, a side view of the planter situated on the ground in which the cuttings are planted, while Fig. 2 shows this planter in an analogous view from the top.

Claims (2)

PL 66 636 Υ1 The planter according to the utility model has two working sections 1 and 2 with a spacing corresponding to the distance ą between the planted rows 3. Each of the mentioned sections 1. and 2 includes a rotating cutting disc 4, a substrate 5 and a sizing bar 6 groove behind it 7 for planting the seedling 8 and further there is a dosing drum 9, behind which, in turn, a pair of press wheels 10 coupled with a crossbeam 1 ± frame 12 is placed. On the beam H there is a seat 13 of a person operating the planter, which constitutes an additional load on the press wheels 10 by springs 14. Dosing drums 9 of both working sections 1 and 2 have blind nests 15 of seedlings 8 spaced apart every 72 °, the position of nests 15 in the drum 9 of section 1 is shifted by 36 ° in relation to the nests 15 in the drum of the adjacent section 2. Said drums 9 are placed on a common axis 16 with road wheels 17, which on the outer circumference 18 have a non-skid protrusion py 19, which is pivotally coupled to the supporting frame 12, while the zone supporting the seedlings 8 in the nests 15 of said drums 9 is covered in the upper part by a cover 20 with an opening for introducing the seedling 8 into the socket 15 and in the lower part by a sizing bar 6 adapted in shape and appropriately positioned relative to the drum 9. In the front part of the frame 12 there is a three-point linkage 21 for a tractor not shown in the drawing. Attached to the mentioned frame 12 is an extension arm 22 with a container 23 of seedlings 8. The planter being the subject of the utility model is started by coupling it with the tractor by means of a suspension system 2 ±, loading the container 23 with seedlings 8 and the operator taking a place on the seat 13. During the movement planters on the ground 5 of the established plantation road wheels! _7 rotate the dosing drums 9, during which the operator, using the stock of seedlings 8 in the container 23, places them alternately in the working group 1 or 2, and then they are transported to the space previously cut by cutting disc 4 of the groove 7. The task of the bar 6 is to calibrate the cut groove 7 and to prevent premature falling of the seedling 8 from the dosing drum 9. After the seedling 8 falls by gravity into the groove 7, it is pre-kneaded in a vertical position. Finally, the seedlings 8 are pressed in the substrate 5 by a set of kneading wheels 10. As a result of the previously mentioned displacement of the metering drums 9 of the working sections 1 and 2 relative to each other by 36 °, an alternating planting system is obtained, as shown in Fig. 2.Protective disclaimer.
