Abstract
DISCHARGE AUGER ARRANGEMENT FOR A DRILL FILL DEVICE
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A conventional drill fill apparatus which has a rectangular support frame mounting two containers each of which has vertical side walls, a hopper bottom and a cov-er panel is modified by the repositioning of discharge augers from the base of the containers. The discharge auger from one of the containers extends from the base upwardly, rearwardly and to one side so that a discharge spout of the auger is positioned adjacent one rear corner of the device. The discharge auger of the other contain-er extends at a shallower angle from the base of that container in a direction rearwardly and to one side so that the auger extends through a side wall of the con-tainer into the second container and along a tube through that second container to break out on the cover panel of the second container. Both discharge spouts are thus mounted adjacent one rear corner of the device.

Description
DISCHARGE AUGER ARRANGEMENT FOR A DRILL FILL DEVICE
~ his invention relates to a drill fill device which is used for transportation of particulate materials particularly seeds and fertilizer for use in a seeding operation.
Devices of this type are well known and com-prise two containers each of which is rectangular in plan view with the containers being connected along one common side wall. Each of the containers has a hopper bottom so that the particulate material within the container collects towards the hopper bottom for discharge.
Conventionally devices oE this type include a pair of augers for discharging the material from the hopper bottom. Each auger is mounted within the contain-er and extends from a feed end of the auger flight at the hopper bottom generally upwardly and toward one corner of the container so that the auger tube exits from the con-tainer through an upper cover wall of the container.
Conventionally the augers are inclined toward the common joining wall of the containers so that the discharge spout of each of the augers is arranged at one side of the containers above the common joining wall of the con-tainers but is approximately at the mid point along the length of the structure.
~.? s ~,~j'~
~i4~
The containers are mounted on a suitable frame structure so that the whole unit as an integral structure can be mounted upon a f]at bed truck or within a truck box with the auger discharge spouts arranged at one side of the truck box and at a position approximately mid way along the length of the truck box.
Drill fill devices have been available for approximately ten years and the two discharge augers have conventionally always been arranged at this location and this arrangement has been found to be entirely satisfac-tory.
Generally the device is used by driving the truck alongside the seed drill or other equipment to be filled and then by connecting the discharge spout of the auger to the hopper on the seed drill. In some cases, however, this is becoming difficult in view of different configurations of equipment which are recently being employed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is one objective of the present invention, therefore, to provide an improved drill fill device of this general type which includes an alternative arrange-ment of the discharge augers which enables the device to be more easily used with different configurations of equipment to be filled.
According to the invention, therefore, there is provided a drill fill device for transporting particulate materials comprising a frame structure, a first and a second container mounted on the frame structure, each container having four vertical side walls arranged mutu-allv at right angles, a hopper bottom connected at an upper edge thereof to the side walls and a cover wall connected to upper edges of the side walls, the con-tainers being joined to each other along one side wall of each of the containers so as to stand side by side on the frame structure, a first discharge auger mounted in the first container and extending from a feed end of the aug-er at the hopper bottom to a discharge spout outside the container, the auger extending upwardly so as to exit from the first container through the cover wall thereof at a position adjacent a side wall thereof which lies parallel to and opposite to said one side wall of the container, and a second discharge auger mounted in the ~ .. .
second container and extending from a feed end of second auger at the hopper bottom to a discharge spout outside the container, the second auger extending from the hopper bottom upwardly and to one side of the second container so as to exit from the second container through said one ~z~
side wall thereof and extend through the first container and to exit from the first container through the cover wall thereof.
The configuration by which the discharge auger from the second container projects through the first con-tainer enables the discharge spout of both of the con-tainers to be arranged adjacent one rear corner of the device. In this way instead of driving the truck carry-ing the drill fill alongside the equipment to be filled, the truck can be backed up so that the rear corner is brought into a required location. In this way the rear corner can be brought up to a position closely adjacent a filling hopper regardless of whether that hopper is in a confined area. With the rear corner adjacent filling hopper both the discharge spouts are within easy reach of the filling hopper.
With the foregoing in view, and other advan-tages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the best mode known to the applicant and of the preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:
DESCRIPTI_ OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a drill fill device according to the invention shown partly in longitudinal cross-section and partly in side elevation;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device of ~igure l;
Figure 3 is a rear elevational view of the de-vice of Figure 1.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The device comprises a frame structure general-ly indicated at 10 including a pair of horizontal base rails 11 and 12 by which the device can rest upon a suit-able flat surface. Attached to the base rails is a plur-ality of vertical legs 13 thus defining a substantially rectangular arrangement with the legs at the four cor-ners. Four horizontal cross rails 14 extend across the frame structure and cooperate with two top side rails 15 which extend longitudinally of the frame structure. The side rails 15 and the cross rails 14 thus define a pair of substantially square openings for receiving and sup-porting a respective one of a pair of containers 16 and 17. Each of the containers comprises four substantially vertical side walls arranged mutually at right angles indicated at 1~, 19, 20 and at 21. The side walls are substantially equal in width so as to define each con-tainer to be of substantially square shape in plan. At the lower edges of the side walls is attached a hopper bottom 22 which is defined by four substantially trian-gular sheets which converge toward a base 23 of the hopper bottom so that material received within the con-tainer tends to fall towards the base 23 from which it can be extracted. At the top of the side walls is mounted a cover panel 24 which includes a horizontal flat portion 25 and a frustoconical portion 26 defined by four sides each connected to the top edge of one of the side walls. A cover 24A can be opened about a suitable hinge line to allow access to the interior of the container for filling.
The two containers are arranged with the sides thereof in contact as indicated at 19. The rails 14 and 15 are suitably shaped so that the inclined sides of the hopper bottoms can sit on the rails. The containers are thus properly supported on the frame structure and form àn integral unit with the frame structure for transporta-tion. The width of the containers is such that the width can be received within a conventional truck box and the length is approximately double the width 50 that the whole unit will sit conveniently within the box of a truck for transportation of particulate material in a conventional manner.
The above device is conventionally known as a drill fill and has been manufactured for many years.
Each of the containers includes a separate discharge auger which e~tends from the inside surface of the base 23 upwardly out of the upper surface of the con-tainers for discharge of the material through a discharge spout.
In accordance with the improvement of the pres-ent invention, the discharge augers are arranged in a particular orientation so that both of the discharge spouts are arranged adjacent a rear corner of the de-vice.
More particularly the discharge conveyer of the container 17 is indicated at 30 and the discharge auger of the container 16 is indicated at 3~. Each of the augers includes an auger tube 32 and a flight 33. The drive mechanism and control mechanism for the flight 33 is only schematically shown in the drawing since it will be of conventional construction and well apparent to one skilled in the art. The drive system is indicated at 3~
and there is provided a discharge spout 35 which projects outwardly from one side of the auger for discharging the material downwardly from the auger through a conventional flexible pipe arrangement into a device to be filled for example a seed hopper of a seed drill.
The discharge auger 30 extends in a direction which is upward, rearward and to one side relative to the base 23 so that it exits from the container 17 through the frustoconical cover portion 25 adjacent one rear corner thereof. The auger exits -through an opening 36 which is reinforced by a collar 37 that opening being positioned substantially half way up the frustoconical portion 26 substan-tially at a junction line in the frustoconical portion where it joins the panel thereof at the rear of the container 17. This position of the auger is different from the conventional arrangement in that the auger spout is positioned adjacent the rear corner of the container 17 rather than adjacent the junction I between the container 16 and 17.
The discharge auger 31 of the container 16 ex-tends from the base 23 of the container 16 at an angle such that it lies substantially flat along a side of the ~, , ~ .
hopper bottom 22 leading toward the container 17. The auger passes through an opening 38 in the side wall 19 of the container 16 and extends into a tube 39 attached to a similar opening in the wall 19 of the container 17 and extending through the container 17 and breaking out through an opening ~0 in the upper cover panel of the container 17. The tube 39 is welded or otherwise sealed to the cover panel and to the wall 19 of the container 17 so that the container is fully closed and prevented from any leakage of material from the container 17 into the container 16 or out of the container since the tube 39 retains the container fully closed. The tube also extends through the cover panel in the frus~oconical portion and defines a collar projecting outwardly there-from. The auger tube is a sliding fit within the tube 39 and is clamped in place so that it remains with the feed end of the flight at the base 23 and the discharge no~zle 35 of the auger 31 outwardly of the container 17. The angle of the tube 39 allows the auger to extend from the ~, base 23 of the container 16 to a position where the l discharge spout 35 thereof is closely adjacent the ~ discharge spout of the auger 30. In order to achieve this the opening ~0 is positioned at a mid height of the frustoconical panel and at a position part way along the panel from the end wall 19.
The positioning of both of the discharge spouts 35 adjacent the rear corner o~ the device enables those spouts to readily reach the equipment positioned adjacent the rear corner for a filling action.
Since various modifications can be made in my invention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
