RU84664U1 - DEVICE SUPPLYING POTATO SEEDS TO THE SOIL OF V. KNOROZ (FOR PLANT POTATOES PLANTS) - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to gardening. The device, (see figure 2, 3, 4) contains a hopper 1 for seeds, a rotor 3 with grippers 4, a chamber 5 with a tray 7 and a side slit 6 through which the grippers pass, and a slotted opener 8 with a bell 9 from above. In order to keep the seeds from shedding, a tray 2 is installed under the inlet for the grabs 1; the gripper 4 is an obliquely cut cone with a nut 10 from the bottom to hold the seeds and a “cup” 11 without a rim to the outside mounted on the back of the cone, which serves for receiving the seed that fell on it and feeding it to the front of the opener 8. The chamber 5 serves to direct the movement of the seed to the “cup” 11 of the gripper 4 and then to the opener of the opener 8. The opener 8 is assigned to produce a seed groove with vertical walls ami. To keep the walls of the groove from premature shedding and reduce friction on the soil, its dumps 12 are laid back and form an acute angle with the apex of the angle behind the plow. All angular distances between the rotor grabs in order to uniformly supply seeds to the coulter of equal size. The horizontal line in the figure indicates the surface of the soil, the dotted line below it is the seed of the potato in the soil; arrows - the direction of rotation of the rotor and the movement of the circuit. The device operates as follows. When the rotor 3 rotates, the grippers 4 enter through the lower hole with the tray 2 into the hopper 1 and pick up the seeds. The constant presence of grabs in the area of the hole with the tray prevents the rash of seeds. The seed taken by the capture during further rotation of the rotor falls on the tray 7 or immediately into the chamber 5 on the "cup" in front of the going and still in the capture chamber. When the “cup” leaves the chamber, the seed falls into the opener of the opener 8 and then into the opener, making a groove in the loosened soil, the walls of which, crumbling along the plow, cover the seeds. The proposed device was used by me in a hand-made potato planter, two-row feed of mineral fertilizers, hand-made in January-April 2006 (see photo). A device for supplying mineral fertilizers, without which the potato planter is defective, is shown in figure 1. It consists of a flat cylindrical rotor 1 with conical recesses 2 around the perimeter, a container 3 with fertilizers and a tube 4, the lower end of which is brought to the back of the opener 8 (see figure 2). The rotors for feeding seeds and fertilizers are fixed on common semi-axes and are driven in rotation from wheels traveling through the soil. When the rotor 1 rotates, mineral fertilizers fill the recesses 2 and then are poured in portions 4 through the tube 4 into the upper soil layer behind the opener 8 above each closed potato seed.

Description

A device feeding potato seeds to the soil of V. Knoroz (for garden potato planters)

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to gardening.

A well-known publication in the newspaper "Do it yourself" (No. 1, 2006) about a single-row potato planter V. Filipchik without figures and a fairly clear description of the design. Nothing is said about the construction of the hopper. About "seed traps" it is reported that they consist of wire rings and plates with springs that are mounted on the rotor disk. A half-disk made of steel, "which defines the entire cycle of work," has been reported. For the formation of a seed groove in the design, a conventional two-plow plow is used, which is visible in the photo. If the construction works, then the seeded furrows must be closed up with a rake.

I propose the following device for planting potato seeds. (see figures 2, 3, 4 and photo). The device comprises a hopper 1 for seeds, a rotor 3 with grippers 4, a cylinder 5 with a tray 7 and a side slot 6 through which the grippers pass, and a slotted opener 8 with a bell 9 from above.

In order to keep the seeds from rashing, a tray 2 is installed under the hopper inlet 1 for input.

Capture 4 is an obliquely cut cone with a nut 10 from the bottom to hold the seeds and a “cup” 11 without a rim to the outside mounted on the back of the cone, which serves to receive the seed that fell on it and feed it to the front of the opener cavity 8.

Cylinder 5 serves to direct the movement of the seed to the “cup” 11 of the gripper 4 and then to the opener 8.

The opener 8 is designated for the production of a seed groove with vertical walls. To keep the walls of the groove from premature shedding and reduce friction on the soil, its dumps 12 are laid back and form an acute angle with the apex of the angle behind the plow.

All angular distances between the rotor grabs in order to uniformly supply seeds to the coulter of equal size.

The horizontal line in the figure indicates the surface of the soil, the dotted line below it is the seed of the potato in the soil; arrows - the direction of rotation of the rotor and the movement of the circuit.

The device operates as follows. When the rotor 3 rotates, the grippers 4 enter through the lower hole with the tray 2 into the hopper 1 and pick up the seeds. The constant presence of grabs in the area of the hole with the tray prevents the rash of seeds. Seed taken by the capture during further rotation of the rotor falls on the tray 7 or immediately into the cylinder 5 on the "cup" in front of the going and still in the capture chamber. When the “cup” leaves the chamber, the seed falls into the opener of the opener 8 and then into the opener, making a groove in the loosened soil, the walls of which, crumbling along the plow, cover the seeds.

The proposed device was used by me in a hand-made potato planter, two-row feed of mineral fertilizers, hand-made in January-April 2006 (see photo). A device for supplying mineral fertilizers, without which the potato planter is defective, is shown in figure 1. It consists of a flat cylindrical rotor 1 with conical recesses 2 around the perimeter, a container 3 with fertilizers and a tube 4, the lower end of which is brought to the back of the opener 8 (see figure 2). The rotors for feeding seeds and fertilizers are fixed on common semi-axes and are driven in rotation from wheels traveling through the soil. When the rotor 1 rotates, mineral fertilizers fill the recesses 2 and then are poured in portions 4 through the tube 4 into the upper soil layer behind the opener 8 above each closed potato seed.

The productivity of the device in a two-row version is 10-12 seeds per second.

Claims (3)
