Agricultural distribution machine for spreading granular material
Agricultural distribution machine for spreading granular materials comprising a storage container for storing the granular materials, several distribution units to which the granular materials can be supplied independently of one another and in an adjustable manner via a delivery line starting out from the storage container, where the distribution units have a plurality of distribution lines, where a device is provided along the distribution lines and is configured to discharge the granular materials, which can be delivered via the distribution lines by two distribution units and which can be introduced via several inlets of the device, via an outlet formed on the device in the direction of at least one spreading element. In order to further improve the spreading process of granular material, it is provided that the device has a further outlet via which the granular materials can be discharged at least in part in the direction of the spreading element, and in that the materials that can be introduced via at least two inlets can be discharged in an adjustable manner, firstly, merged through one of said outlets and, secondly, through separate outlets.
1 . An agricultural distribution machine for spreading at least two granular materials, comprising:
at least one storage container for storing said at least two granular materials,
several distribution units, each formed in the manner of a distributor head, to each of which at least one of said at least two granular materials is supplied independently of one another and in an adjustable manner deliverable via at least one pressurizable delivery line extending from said storage container, where said distribution units have a plurality of distribution lines arranged thereon, where at least one device is provided along said distribution lines and is configured to discharge said at least two granular materials, which are deliverable via at least two distribution lines of said distribution lines by at least two distribution units of said several distribution units and are feedable via several inlets of said at least one device, via at least one outlet formed on said at least one device in the direction of at least one spreading element,
wherein said at least one device has at least one further outlet via which said at least two granular materials are dischargeable at least in part in the direction of said at least one spreading element, and in that said at least two materials that are feedable via at least two inlets of said several inlets are dischargeable in an adjustable manner, firstly, merged through one outlet of said at least one outlet or said at least one further outlet and, secondly, through at least two separate outlets of said at least one outlet and said at least one further outlet.
2 . The distribution machine according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one device comprises at least one switch device which is pivotable and/or rotatable at least in part and which is movable into at least two different positions, where said at least two granular materials are dischargeable from said at least one device as a function of the position of the at least one switch device.
3 . The distribution machine according to claim 1 , wherein a size, a cross sections, and/or an orientation in a direction of conveyance of said granular materials of said separate outlets corresponds at least approximately to those of said at least two inlets.
4 . The distribution machine according to claim 2 , wherein said switch device is provided with at least one actuating element, wherein the at least one actuating element is actuable without tools.
5 . The distribution machine according to claim 4 , wherein said at least one actuating element is affixable in a positive-fit and/or force-fit manner.
6 . The distribution machine according to claim 4 , comprising several devices which are each associated with at least two distribution lines of different distribution units, wherein said devices are arranged together on a retaining device.
7 . The distribution machine according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one actuating element is arranged on said at least one device.
8 . The distribution machine according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one actuating element is arranged on said switch device.
9 . The distribution machine according to claim 6 , wherein said devices are arranged next to one another on said retaining device.
10 . The distribution machine according to claim 6 , where an actuating element of said devices is affixable on said retaining device.
11 . The distribution machine according to claim 10 , where said actuating element of said devices is affixable on a guide link formed on said retaining device.
