Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for dispensing stock feed or for analogous purposes.
  • the general object of the present invention is to provide apparatus which is efficient in feeding any of a wide variety of materials, including non-free- flowing substances such as cotton seed and the like, at a controlled rate.
  • Other objects achieved in preferred embodiments of the invention are to provide such apparatus which is usable for thoroughly mixing together two or more ingredients, such as nutrient supplements and cotton seed, and for subsequently delivering the mixture in a controlled or regulated manner; and which is simple and economical to manufacture and sturdy and durable in use.
  • the invention resides broadly in apparatus for dispensing stock feed or for analogous purposes including: a hopper to contain material to be dispensed, and tapering downwardly to open into an outlet chamber having an outlet opening, a drive shaft extending through the outlet chamber, drive means for driving the drive shaft, an oblique travelling auger adjacent to the inside face of the hopper, its shaft connected by a universal joint to the drive shaft, an auger head on the travelling auger in such engagement with the upper part of the hopper that, when the drive means drives the drive shaft and travelling auger shaft, the auger head carries the travelling auger about the interior of the hopper adjacent to its inner surface.
  • FIG. 1 is a partly broken-away side elevation of a stock feed dispenser according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the travelling auger head and its engagement with the top of the hopper of the apparatus;
  • FIG. 3 is a front elevation of the dispenser;
  • FIG. 4 is a partly broken-away plan view showing the friction drive adjustment of the dispenser;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of a travelling auger head of alternative construction to that shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 6 is diagrammatic drawing of a seed planter according to alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic view of a materials mixing and elevating device according to a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the stock feed dispenser shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 of the drawings includes a main frame 10 having a pair of forwardly convergent box-section side members 11 rigidly fixed over a pair of parallel cross-members 12 and an angle member 13, the front part of the main frame forming a draw-bar with a conventional hitch for connection to any suitable towing vehicle.
  • Plates 14 fixed under the cross-members 12 carry bearing blocks 15 for the coaxial axles 16 and 17 of a pair of pneumatically tyred wheels 18, the axle 16 being a drive axle with a splined section 19, the axle 17 being free ⁇ wheeling.
  • a conical hopper 20 with a more or less cylindrical outlet chamber 21, having an outlet opening 21a at its front is supported above the main frame by struts 22.
  • a friction drive wheel 23 is mounted slidably on the splined section 19 and fixed to and slidable with it is a circumferentially grooved collar 24, its groove engaged by a yoke 25 extending rearwardly from an adjustment slide 26 engaged on the cross-members 12.
  • a handle 27 By means of a handle 27 the slide may be moved to one side or the other, moving the friction drive wheel correspondingly along the splined section 19, and it may be locked in desired adjusted position by a locking pin 28 which may be engaged in any selected one of a series of holes 29 in the front cross-member 12.
  • the friction drive wheel 23 is arranged for operative engagement with a friction driven wheel 30 on the lower end of a vertical shaft 31 rotatable in bearings 32 on a vertical plate 33 mounted transversely behind the lower part of the hopper 20.
  • This shaft 31 is connected by a chain drive 34 to a sprocket on an auger drive shaft 35 which extends coaxially up onto the hopper outlet chamber 21.
  • a helical compression spring 36 about the shaft 31 urges the friction driven wheel 30 into firm contact with the friction drive wheel 23 so that, as the stock feed dispenser is drawn forwards, the auger drive shaft 35 is driven.
  • the adjustment slide 26 By moving the adjustment slide 26 to one side or the other, the speed of the auger drive shaft 35 may be varied, and its direction of rotation may be reversed.
  • a collar 37 on the friction driven wheel shaft 31 is engaged by a lifting lever 38 fulcrumed between a pair of lugs 39 on the plate 33.
  • a handle 40 fulcrumed on the upper rear part of the hopper 20 is connected by linkage, indicated generally at 41, to the lifting lever 38, and is counterbalanced by a spring 42.
  • the handle may be operated, by the driver of the towing vehicle, for example, through a cable (not shown) to lift the friction driven wheel to interrupt the drive to the auger drive shaft 35.
  • the auger drive shaft passes upwardly through a bottom plate 43 of the hopper outlet chamber 21, and above this plate it carries a helical auger flight 44 and a series of radiating sweeper fingers 45.
  • the auger drive shaft 35 is connected by a universal joint 46 to the shaft 47 of a main or travelling auger 48, the helical flight of which lies closely adjacent to the conical wall of the hopper 20.
  • the travelling auger shaft 47 carries an inner friction wheel 49, which bears against a circular track 50 fixed within the rim of the hopper. Above the inner friction wheel 49, there are pivoted on the auger shaft 47 a pair of more or less J-shaped outer wheel carriers 51 and a friction adjustment arm 52.
  • each outer wheel carriers 51 there is mounted an outer friction wheel 53 to bear on the outer rim of the hopper, its axis parallel to the travelling auger shaft 47.
  • a friction adjustment screw 54 engaged in a lug 55 below the friction adjustment arm 52 may be used to advance or retract a leaf spring 56, the ends of which bear on the two outer wheel carriers 51, so as to increase or decrease the frictional engagement of the inner and outer wheels 49 and 53 with the rim portion of the hopper.
  • the outlet opening 21a at the front of the outlet chamber 21 may be opened, or partly or fully closed, by a shutter 57 slidable in transverse slides 58 and movable by a lever 59 through a link 60.
  • the lever 59 like the lever 40, may be operated, for example by a cable (not shown) led through sheaves (not shown) to the driver of the towing vehicle.
  • the outlet opening 21a leads into the upper part of a delivery chute 61.
  • cotton seed or other stock feed to be dispensed is loaded into the hopper 20, and, if desired, nutrient feed supplements may also be introduced to the hopper. If the feed and supplement requires to be thoroughly mixed before being dispensed, this is done by setting the friction drive wheel 23 for reverse drive while the dispenser is being towed to where the stock feed is to be dispensed. Owing to the engagement of the inner and outer friction wheels at the head of the travelling auger with the rim of the hopper, the rotating auger is caused to travel around the hopper and consequently all of the contained material will become thoroughly mixed. When the stock feed is to be dispensed, the friction drive from the axle 16 is returned to normal and the shutter 57 is opened. As the implement is advanced, the travelling auger ensures that there is a fairly uniform flow of the stock feed to the outlet chamber 21 from which it is ejected, by the auger
  • the outer friction wheels 51 are replaced by sprockets 62 engaging a chain 63 welded about the rim of the hopper 20, and a chain drive 64 interconnects secondary sprockets 65 on the shafts of the inner friction wheel 66 fixed on the travelling auger shaft.
  • the inner friction wheel may be replaced by a sprocket engaging a chain fixed within the rim of the hopper, and outer friction wheels as before described may be used.
  • the invention may be modified for application to a planter for seed, such as buffel seed for example which is difficult to deliver satisfactorily by conventional planters. Such a modification is shown diagrammatically in FIG.
  • a blower 72 which may be driven from the power take-off shaft of the towing vehicle, directs air to the discharge box by way of a venturi so that the conveyed seed is drawn into and expelled from the discharge box 71.
  • the outlet and travelling auger assembly are driven by a hydraulic motor at 73 and the hopper outlet chamber 74 leads into a discharge auger casing 75, the auger 76 of which is driven by a second hydraulic motor 77 to elevate and discharge materials mixed in the hopper.
