Sowing coulter with adjustable blades
A sowing coulter for direct and/or mulch sowing includes a coulter body, a tear-open chisel fastened by a fastening device, and coulter blades laterally projecting from the tear-open chisel and provided with front cutting edges, which are arranged in order to create a sowing furrow in the ground. In order to change the penetration depth of the sowing coulter into the ground, the coulter blades are adjustable about a horizontal axis that extends transversely to the direction of travel, and that is fixable in different positions by way of an adjustment device arranged between the tear-open chisel and the coulter body.
1. A sowing coulter, comprising:
a coulter body;
a tear-open chisel arranged at a lower front region of the coulter body, the tear-open chisel being fastened to the coulter body by a fastening device;
and
coulter blades laterally projecting from the tear-open chisel and provided with a front cutting edge so as to create a sowing furrow in the soil,
wherein the coulter blades are arranged on the tear-open chisel,
wherein the tear-open chisel having the coulter blades is adjustable about a horizontal axis extending transversely to a direction of travel,
wherein the tear-open chisel is fixable in different positions relative to the coulter body by an adjustment device arranged between the tear-open chisel and the coulter body,
wherein the adjustment device comprises at least one adjustment element which is configured to be rotated about a second horizontal axis running transversely to the direction of travel and is of eccentric design and comprises adjustment surfaces which are arranged at different distances from the second horizontal axis, and
wherein at least one positively interlocking projection and a complementary depression are arranged between the at least one adjustment element and the coulter body.
2. The sowing coulter according to claim 1 , wherein the coulter body has assigned thereto at least one material supply line opening out in at least one line mouth in the lower front region of the coulter body, and a roof-shaped impact plate is arranged below the coulter blades and the at least one line mouth.
3. The sowing coulter according to claim 2 , wherein the roof-shaped impact plate comprises a center impact surface which slopes rearwards and lateral impact surfaces which slope laterally from side regions of said center impact surface.
