Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture and may be used for application of loose additives into milled fodder. Forager is assembled with tractor and includes pipeline for supply of ground product to vehicle. On the front wall of the pipeline there is a hopper for granular material, gate valve and bottom made with formation of cavity under the gate valve. Cavity is connected to the pipeline by means of a pneumatic channel. Loose material flows from the bottom cavity into the pipeline through a pneumatic channel.

EFFECT: construction of a forager provides adding additives to the ground product.

Description

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to the mechanization of technological processes in agricultural production and is intended for use in the livestock industry.

Known seeding devices, which are part of seeders, planters and cultivators. These, for example, include a coil-pin apparatus, consisting of a hopper with a valve, a bottom and a coil (Khalansky V.M. Agricultural machines: textbook for universities / V.M.Khalansky, I.V. Gorbachev. - M .: KolosS, 2004. - 624 p. - P.142, 143) [1].

The main disadvantage of the known device is the complexity of the design.

The closest technical solution, chosen as a prototype, is a forager, configured with a tractor and consisting of a pipeline made with the possibility of supplying the crushed product to the vehicle and for this purpose connected to the chopping drum by means of an exhauster that creates an air flow on the line "chopping drum - pipeline "(Polytechnic Dictionary / Ch. Ed. A. Yu. Ishlinsky. - 3rd ed., revised and added. - M .: Great Russian Encyclopedia, 2000. - 656 p. - P.579 - prototype) [ 2].

The disadvantage of the presented forager is that its functionality is limited to obtaining a crushed product. However, in practice, in the preparation of animal feed, various feed additives (salt, flavoring and vitamin substances) are used, which are mixed with a crushed product, for example, hay, straw or silage. The design of the known forager does not allow to improve its quality during the grinding process by including various additives in its composition.

The objective of the invention is to create a forager with a simple and reliable design, providing a technological process of grinding feed with the simultaneous inclusion of feed additives in its composition.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the forager additionally contains a sowing device located on the front wall of the pipeline facing the tractor cab. The device consists of a hopper for sown bulk material (feed additive), a valve and a bottom made with the formation of a cavity under the valve. In this case, the cavity of the bottom is connected to the cavity of the pipeline by means of a pneumatic channel made with the possibility of supplying material from the cavity of the bottom to the cavity of the pipeline when this material is exposed to the air flow created by the exhauster. The material entrained by the air flow in the pipeline moves from the bottom cavity along the pneumatic channel into the cavity of the named pipeline, where it mixes with the crushed product. Taken together, this makes it possible to create a forager with a simple and reliable design, which provides a technological process for crushing feed with the simultaneous inclusion of additives in its composition.

The drawing shows a forager, in particular, it is given a side view of the pipeline.

The forager is configured with a tractor (not shown) and consists of a pipeline 1 configured to supply the crushed product to a vehicle (not shown). For this, the pipeline 1 is connected to the grinding drum by means of an exhauster (not shown), which creates an air flow in the line "grinding drum - pipeline 1". To ensure the possibility of including feed additives in the composition of the crushed product, the forager additionally contains a seeding device located on the front wall of the pipeline facing the tractor cab. The device consists of a hopper 2 for sown bulk material, a valve 3 and a bottom 4, made with the formation of a cavity under the valve 3. In this case, the cavity of the bottom 4 is connected to the cavity of the pipeline 1 by means of a pneumatic channel 5, made with the possibility of supplying material from the cavity of the bottom 4 to the cavity of the pipeline 1 when this material is exposed to an air flow created by an exhauster.

Forager works as follows. Hopper 2 is filled with feed additive. The dose of the additive supply is set by changing the cross-section of the feeding window with the help of the valve 3. Organize the grinding process, for example, of hay. For this, after turning on the power take-off shaft (actuation of the exhauster), the chopping drum of the forager is lowered onto the stack. Under the action of vibration and gravity, the bulk material of the additive from the cavity of the bunker 2 through the supply window (valve 3 is open or slightly open) enters the cavity of the bottom 4, from where, under the action of the air flow created by the exhauster in the pipeline 1, the material flows through the pneumatic channel 5 into the cavity of the named pipeline 1, where it is mixed with the crushed product.

The proposed forager has a simple and reliable design. At the same time, it provides a technological process for grinding feed with the simultaneous inclusion of feed additives in its composition.
