Description

one

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to agricultural machinery, in particular, to land pits for sowing rootstocks of mint.

A known machine for sowing roots, mint and other crops, including a hopper with a movable bottom, a pressure drum, and a chopping-throwing drum D.

The disadvantage of the machine is that the rhizomes are crushed before loading them into the tank, for which significant labor costs are required. In addition, from the time of grinding to embedding the rhizomes in the soil for a considerable period of time. At the same time, the moisture content of crushed rhizomes quickly decreases, as a result of which their germination rate drops sharply.

A known plant for planting rhizomes of plants, comprising a chopping-sowing apparatus, a pressure drum and a hopper with a movable bottom 2.

This machine is used for grinding and sowing a small layer of sod. For grinding and seeding rhizomes, such working bodies cannot be used. The machine can not provide a uniform seeding, as the knives cut the mass of rhizomes, not throwing it. As a result, the projectile discharges the sowing mass and the drum is braked, while the rhizomes sowing are injured, which adversely affects their germination. The aim of the invention is to ensure the reliability of the process of sowing rhizomes and improving the uniformity of sowing with minimal damage.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the grinding-sowing apparatus is made in the form of a tetrahedral drum, on two opposite edges of which cutting elements are mounted, while the pressure drum is provided with fingers.

FIG. 1 shows a rhizome seeding machine, side view; in fig. 2 is a diagram of the grinding-sowing apparatus, side view.

0 The sowing machine for rhizomes includes a bunker I, a movable bottom 2, a grinding-sowing machine, made in the form of a four-edged drum 3 with cutting knives 4, a presser drum 5 with fingers 6, a root branch 7, a furrow rifle 8 and a backdoor 9,

The sowing machine works as follows.

The rhizomes, laid in the bunker 1, are moved together with the movable bottom 2 to the chopping-sowing tetrahedral drum with cutting knives 4 mounted on it.

In the process of grinding the rhizomes are kept from being ejected by beams by a pressure drum 5, provided with fingers 6 for this purpose. Cutting knives 4, mounted on two opposite edges of a four-edged drum 3 in working position, pass between the fingers of the pressure drum 5. Moreover, the trajectory of the ends of the cutting knives is outer concentric circle with respect to the path of two other mutually opposite edges.

The tetrahedral shape of the chopping-sowing drum creates two zones in front of it (see Fig. 2): 1 - a zone for cutting rhizomes with knives; 11 - rhizomes capture zone by the edges of a chopping-sowing drum.

The cut rhizomes come from the first zone to the second, are captured by the faces of the chopping-sowing drum and are thrown into the roots with minimal damage. The bundles of rhizomes are retained by the fingers of the pressure drum, between which the cutting knives run, until they are completely crushed. After chopping, they also fall on the verge of a chopping-seeding drum and are thrown into the roots.

In addition, the fingers of the pressure drum, on, embedded in the mass of rhizomes before the chopping-sowing drum, contribute to a more uniform flow of them, excluding loading. Through the root, the crushed rhizomes enter the grooves formed by the furrows 8, which are then closed by the lock-overs 9. The presence of the capture zone eliminates the inhibition of the chopping-seed drum by the conveyed mass, thus ensuring a reliable technological process.

The use of this mask eliminates the need for special re-equipment and the use of a separate grinder for grinding, which will reduce labor costs. At the same time, the annual economic effect from using one machine only by reducing labor costs will be about 800 rubles.
