Abstract

The machine has lateral ground digging units (2) to form furrows, while bringing back the ground towards a central zone to form a hill, followed by leveling units with an auger (5). A distribution device (3) disperses the bulbs stored in a hopper (1) to a dispersion device (6) for spreading out the bulbs on prepared flower beds. Cylinders (7) are used to bury the bulbs. A propulsion device (4) adjusts the spreading of bulbs.

MACHINE AUTOMATIQUE DE PLANTATION DE BULBES EN PLATE-BANDES AUTOMATIC MACHINE FOR PLANTING BULBS IN PLATBANDS

La présente invention concerne une machine automatique pour planter des bulbes. La dite machine permet de mécaniser la plantation de bulbes, et de préparer le sol avant plantation. The present invention relates to an automatic machine for planting bulbs. The said machine makes it possible to mechanize the planting of bulbs, and to prepare the soil before planting.

Ce dispositif a été inventé dans le but de mécaniser la plantation de bulbes d'échalotes en particulier et d'éviter la pose de bande plastiques nécessaire lors des plantations manuel de ces bulbes. En effet traditionnellement la plantation de bulbes d'échalotes est manuelle. This device was invented in order to mechanize the planting of shallot bulbs in particular and to avoid the laying of plastic tape necessary during manual planting of these bulbs. In fact traditionally the planting of shallot bulbs is manual.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.: figure 1 (Pl/3),vue de face; figure 2 (P2/3), en vue de droite en coupe selon AA de la figure 1; figure 3 (P3/3), vue de face d'une goulotte de distribution. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 (Pl / 3), front view; Figure 2 (P2 / 3), in right sectional view along AA of Figure 1; Figure 3 (P3 / 3), front view of a distribution chute.

PREPARATION DES PLATES BANDES AVANT PLANTATION PREPARATION OF FLAT BANDS BEFORE PLANTATION

- Deux moyens de creusement latéraux (2) destinés à former deux sillons dans le sol lors du déplacement de la machine en ramenant la terre vers la zone centrale pour former une butte. - Two lateral digging means (2) for forming two grooves in the ground during the movement of the machine by bringing the earth to the central area to form a hill.

- Des moyens de nivelage constitués d'une vis sans fin (5). La vis sans fin (5), entraînée par un moteur hydraulique est constituée de deux parties, permettant de niveler la terre sans la tasser et de répartir les excédents de terre de la zone centrale vers l'extérieur soit dans les sillons crées par les deux moyens de creusement latéraux (2). - Leveling means consisting of a worm (5). The worm (5), driven by a hydraulic motor consists of two parts, allowing to level the earth without packing it and to distribute the excess soil from the central zone to the outside or in the grooves created by the two lateral digging means (2).

L'objectif de cette vis sans fin (5) est d'obtenir une terre souple permettant ainsi une bonne pénétration des bulbes. Les deux parties constituant la vis sans fin (5) sont de longueurs identiques et de mouvement circulaire contraire au sens du déplacement de la machine. La vitesse de rotation de la vis sans fin (5) varie selon le diamètre et le pas de la vis et également de la vitesse de déplacement de la machine. La vis sans fin (5) est entraînée par un moteur hydraulique (12) ce dernier peut être remplacé par un mouvement mécanique. The purpose of this worm (5) is to obtain a flexible ground allowing a good penetration of the bulbs. The two parts constituting the worm (5) are of identical lengths and circular movement opposite to the direction of movement of the machine. The speed of rotation of the worm (5) varies according to the diameter and pitch of the screw and also the speed of movement of the machine. The worm (5) is driven by a hydraulic motor (12) the latter can be replaced by a mechanical movement.

LA PLANTATIONTHE PLANTATION

- Machine équipée d'un dispositif de stockage des bulbes (1), dit trémie (1) recevant et contenant les bulbes. Une grille (9) installée sur la trémie (1) permet au conducteur de l'engin de visualiser le niveau des bulbes. La dite trémie (1), sur la partie basse, est également équipée d'un dispositif de régulation du débit des bulbes, une trappe à glissière (10), sur le tapis de distribution (3). Cette trappe (10) est réglable en hauteur. - Machine equipped with a bulb storage device (1), said hopper (1) receiving and containing the bulbs. A grid (9) installed on the hopper (1) allows the operator of the machine to view the level of the bulbs. The said hopper (1), on the lower part, is also equipped with a device for regulating the flow of the bulbs, a slide gate (10), on the conveyor belt (3). This hatch (10) is adjustable in height.

- Un tapis à surface non plane (3) permet d'acheminer les plants vers un dispositif de dispersion des bulbes, constitué de goulottes (6) . - Un dispositif de propulsion constitué par une brosse (4) fixée au- dessus du tapis dont le sens de rotation est contraire, à celui du tapis (3) et également plus rapide, régule l'acheminement des bulbes et évite les chutes de ces derniers lorsque la machine est à l'arrêt. - A non-planar surface mat (3) allows the plants to be conveyed to a bulb dispersing device consisting of chutes (6). - A propulsion device consisting of a brush (4) fixed above the carpet whose direction of rotation is opposite to that of the carpet (3) and also faster, regulates the routing of the bulbs and avoids the falls of these last when the machine is stopped.

- Les dispositifs de distribution (3) et de propulsion (4) sont entraînés par les roues (8) qui servent également d'appuie à l'arrière de la planteuse. - The distribution devices (3) and propulsion (4) are driven by the wheels (8) which also serve as a support at the rear of the planter.

- Le dispositif de dispersion (6) permet de répartir les plants sur la terres lissée par la vis sans fin(5). - The dispersing device (6) distributes the plants on the land smoothed by the worm (5).

- Le ou les cylindres (7) servent à l'enfouissement des plants. - The cylinder or cylinders (7) are used for burial plants.

- L'ensemble de cette planteuse est montée sur un châssis (11) pouvant supporter un ou plusieurs ensembles décrit ci-dessus. - The whole of this planter is mounted on a frame (11) can support one or more sets described above.
