Definitions

  • the present invention relates to agricultural spreaders of the broadcast type and, more particularly, t dual rotary impeller broadcast spreaders for the distribution of particulate or granular materials such as fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and the like.
  • the invention provides a spreader including two adjacent impellers mounted for rotary movement to broadcast or spread granular or particulate materials such as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, seeds and the like in a manner such that the coverage or distribution pattern is essentially optimized.
  • the spreaders of the present invention are constructed in a manner such that the discharge from each of the two individual impellers is controlled to achieve an additive distribution effect from each of the individual impellers resulting in a desired pattern of material distribution or coverage over a target area or treatment path or swath while avoiding undesirable skewing patterns and essentially eliminating centrally located coverage voids.
  • the spreader includes a housing having means for driving the device in a forwardly advancing direction and for discharging particulate material in essentially the same forwardly advancing direction.
  • the housing includes a storage chamber positioned over a pair of impellers or broadcast means.

  • the material drop position of the particles deposited onto the impellers is critical.

  • Another object of this invention is to provide a dual rotary spreader in which the two impellers rotate in opposite directions to broadcast particulate material deposited thereon in an essentially forward direction while the spreader is being advanced in a similar forward direction.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a broadcast spreader having two impellers which rotate in rotational correspondence such that the material deposite on each impeller is ejected from such impeller in a predeterminable, controlled distribution pattern generall in the direction of spreader advance and in a manner such that when the contributions of both impellers are combined, the spreader provides even coverage of a target area.
  • a still further object is to provide a dual rotary impeller spreader device which provides an essentially optimal spread pattern of broadcast particulate material utilizing a controlled distribution pattern from each of the individual impellers so that an additive spreading effect is achieved from each of the two rotating members.

  • the rotary broadcast spreader of this invention generally designated by the numeral 10 comprises a storage chamber or hopper 12 for particulate material supported by a tubular inverted U-shaped frame 14, the sides of which are mounted on an axle 16.
  • the axle 16 supports a pair of ground engaging wheels 18 and 18• .
  • Broadcast means are provided comprising a pair of impellers 20 and 20', each being horizontally and fixedly mounted on a shaft 22, 22', respectively.
  • Each of the shafts 22, 22' is rotatably driven at its lower end by a powered drive connection between the impellers 20, 20' and axle 16.
  • a pair of conically-shaped rotatable deflectors 24, 24' are axially and centrally mounted between hopper 12 and impellers 20, 20' with the wider dimension of each deflector facing the impeller.
  • these deflectors 24, 24' ensure correct positioning of material dropping from hopper 12 onto impellers 20, 20'.
  • baffles, fixed deflectors or other suitable means may be used for this purpose, or the material may fall directly from the hopper 12 onto the impellers 20, 20', if so desired.
  • Bolted to the inverted U-shaped frame 14 is a tubular member 26, the upper portion of which serves as a handle 28, the lower portion of which serves as a leg 30 to support the spreader when it is not being advanced.
  • the axle 16 is journaled within inverted U-shaped frame member 14.
  • Wheel 18• is fixedly connected to axle 16 for transmitting power to shafts 22, 22' by means of a set of bevel gears 32, 32' which rotate impellers 20, 20' as the spreader is advanced.
  • a pair of agitators 34 and 34' are mounted on the upper portion of shafts 22, 22*, respectively, within hopper 12 and rotate with the impellers 20 and 20'.
  • particulate material is discharged from hopper 12 via discharge outlets generally designated by the numerals 36, 36'.
  • Each of these outlets 36, 36' comprise a set of clustered discharge ports 38, 38' located off-center in the bottom portion of hopper 12.
  • the amount of particulate material flowing through discharge ports 38, 38' is etered by adjustment of the size of the openings of ports 38, 38'.
  • the size of the openings of ports 38, 38 » is controlled by a shut-off mechanism comprising shut-off plates 40, 40', guide plate 42, shut-off tab 44, pivot link 46, lever arms 48, 48', link 50, control rod 52, pivot lever 54, pivot member 56, rate plate 58, rate control knob 60, rate control lever 62 and its pivot 64, and rate control plate 66.
  • Shut-off plates 40, 40' are respectively slidably mounted within guide plates 42, 42' , mounted beneath hopper 12.
  • Control rod 52 is attached at one end thereof via a connecting linkage means 50 to a pair of lever arms 48, 48'.
  • the control rod extends outwardly at an angle generally following the tubular member 26 to the upper end of the handle 28 where it is attached to pivot lever 54 secured by the pivot member 56 to handle 28.
  • the lever arms 48, 48' are pivotably connected to a horizontally extending rod member 68 which is fixedly attached to the hopper 12 so that the arms 48, 48' pivot about the axis of the rod 68 as a function of the operation of the control rod 52.
  • the lever arms 48, 48' are connected via additional linkage means 46, 46' with shut-off plates 40, 40', respectively, in a manner such that as the arms 48, 48' pivot about the rod 68, the plates 40, 40' are caused to move longitudinally thereby adjusting the extent of opening and closing of the ports 38, 38' in discharge outlets 36, 36' on the basis of the positioning of the plates 40, 40' relative to the port 38, 38'.
  • Plates 40, 40' each have a stop 44 positioned thereon to engage a control plate 66 which is slidably mounted beneath the hopper 12. This plate 66 is operatively connected to an end section of a rate lever 62.
  • the opposite end of lever 62 includes a control knob 60 which cooperates with an indexed rate plate 58 fixedly secured to the upper surface of the hopper 12. Markings or indicia 70 on the rate plate 58 correspond to predetermined positions of the control plate so that when control knob 60 is located opposite a particular marking on rate plate 58, rate lever 62 operates to repeatably and accurately position control plate 66 to the corresponding position. In turn, the position of control plate 66 determines how far in the open direction shut-off plates 40, 40' may move when actuated to their open position by control rod 52. Thus, the position of control knob 60 controls the effective size of the opening of ports 38-, 38' in discharge outlets 36, 36'.
  • Deflectors 24, 24' are more clearly seen in FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the top portion 72 of each of the cone-shaped deflectors 24, 24' is circular while the bottom portion 74 is helical.
  • Top circular portion 72 is concentric with its axis of rotation and with both shaft 22, and 22' around which it is rotatably adjustable.
  • the portion of the helix at which the smallest radius meets with the largest radius forms a sharply angled surface 76 which has an extension 78.
  • the extension acts as a handle to rotate the deflector for the purpose of adjustment.
  • the bottom edge of each of the deflectors has a radius which gradually varies from a given value (on the inner extremity of surface 76) to a larger value (on the outer extremity of surface 76) .
  • the top portion of the deflector includes an annular surface 80 for holding the deflector in place against the bottom of the hopper.
  • the annular surface 80 includes a plurality of striations 82 in its upper surface for engaging mating striations 84 in a bearing mount 86 attached to the bottom of the hopper.
  • the impellers 20, 20' are best illustrated in FIGS. 4-5 and 9-10. As identified in FIG. 4, and shown by arrows 88, 88' above FIG. 4, the left-hand impeller 20 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the right-hand impeller 20' rotates counterclockwise as the spreader is operatively moved in direction D.
  • the impellers 20, 20' each have four straight radial fins 90 and 90'.
  • the fins 90, 90' preferably include horizontal lips 92, 92', as shown in FIGS. 9-10, to reduce the amount of loss of particulate material bouncing off the impellers or over the fins.
  • the deflectors 24, 24' are held in a fixed adjustable position beneath the discharge outlets 36, 36* of the hopper on shafts 22, 22' by means of a bearing mount 86, best shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • the bearing mount 86 has an outer ledge 94 which bears against the annular surface 80 of each of deflectors 24, 24' when the bearing mount is bolted in place to the underside of the hopper through threaded holes 96.
  • the bearing mount includes a further set of three holes 98 to permit any particulate material that flows into the bearing mount 86 to exit therefrom.
  • the bearing mount 86 also included an impeller bearing 100 providing for rotation of impellers 20, 20' on shafts 22, 22', respectively, during operation of the spreader 10.
  • the shafts 22, 22' extend through an opening 102 in bearing mount 86, the opening having a diameter slightly larger than the shaft so that there is sufficient clearance to permit the shaft to rotate freely in the opening 102.
  • the three sets of striations 84 on the surface of ledge 94 on the bearing mount mate with the complimentary sets of striations 82 (see FIG. 7) on the underside of and facing annular surface 80 on the top of deflectors 24, 24'. As the deflectors 24, 24' are adjusted to new radial positions, the mating striations 84, 82 serve to hold the deflectors 24, 24' in place.
  • Discharge outlets 36, 36' are aligned with respect to the deflectors such that particulate material is discharged onto the outer outwardly angled surface 76 of the deflectors 24, 24'.
  • the bottom edge 74 of surface 76 in effect moves in or out radially over the impeller and the angle of the deflector surfaces change, becoming steeper at smaller radii.
  • This permits adjustment of the radial position at which the dispensed material is loaded onto the impellers 20, 20'.
  • the position at which material is discharged onto impellers 20, 20' is particularly important in determining the resulting distribution pattern on the target surface.
  • the deflectors are rotate to the smaller radial position for larger particle or higher density materials, and to larger radii for smaller particle or lower density materials.
  • shut-off plate control lever 54 and therefore shut-off plates 40, 40', are initially in their off positions, so that the openings of ports 38, 38* of discharge outlets 36, 36' are closed, and material is prevented from flowing from hopper 12 onto impellers 20, 20'.
  • the user selects the rate at which product is metered onto the impellers 20, 20' by adjusting control knob 60 to a setting represented by markings 70 on rate plate 58.
  • Setting changes of control knob 60 are transmitted by rate lever 62 to control plate 66, with the maximum extent of travel of shut-off plates 40, 40' being controlled by stop element 44. This effectively controls the size of the openings of ports 38, 38' of discharge outlets 36, 36*.
  • the user may move shut-off plate control lever 54 to the open position. Movements of shut-off plate control lever 54 are transmitted to links 50, 48 via control rod 52. Links 50 and 48 thereby rotate as a unit about rod member 68.
  • the user advances the spreader by pushing forward on handle 28, angularly rotating the unit slightly forward to displace leg 30 from its rest position on the ground.
  • wheels 18, 18' rotate due to frictional engagement with the ground, causing axle 16 to rotate.
  • Axle 16 drives bevel gears 32, 32' which, in turn, drive shafts 22, 22'.
  • shaft 22 rotates clockwise, and shaft 22' rotates counterclockwise.
  • Agitators 34, 34' and impellers 20, 20' are mounted on and rotate with shafts 22, 22', respectively.
  • agitators 34, 34' stir the particulate, powdered, or granular material in hopper 12, urging the material toward and through the ports 38, 38' of the discharge outlets 36, 36'.
  • Material falling through the outlets falls on the outside angular surface 76 of deflectors 24, 24', and flows along this surface 76 until it reaches the bottom edge 74, from which it falls onto the surface of impellers 20, 20*.
  • the radial position at which the material is deposited on the impellers 20, 20* is thus determined by the radius of helical edge 74 at the ports 38, 38'.
  • the user may adjust this radius by rotating the cone-shaped deflectors 24, 24* to different angular positions, thereby moving a section of the angular surface 76 having a different bottom edge radius under discharge ports 38, 38*.
  • the significance of the material drop position on the impellers 20, 20' is a critical feature of the present invention and will be discussed in detail hereinafter. Material falls onto the upper surface of impellers 20, 20' which are rotating due to advancement of the spreader.
  • Another critical feature of the present invention is the rotational correspondence of the impellers 20, 20'. Specifically, left-hand impeller 20 rotates in a clockwise direction, and right-hand impeller 20' rotates counterclockwise as the spreader is advanced in the direction D.
  • impellers 20, 20* Due to the rotation of impellers 20, 20* , material carried thereon likewise rotates and is forced out to the periphery of the impellers' upper surface and ejected therefrom.
  • the material is ejected from each impeller in a predictable, controlled distribution pattern generally in the direction of spreader advancement D such that when the contributions of both impellers are combined, the spreader provides even coverage of the target surface.
  • the direction of material movement upon ejection from the impellers 20, 20' is a further critical feature of the present invention in assuring an appropriate distribution pattern of material on the target area.
  • FIG. 13 shows the calculation of this direction for counterclockwise-rotating impeller 20' as expressed by the angle of material movement with respect to the direction of travel of the spreader.
  • the calculations for clockwise-rotating impeller 20 are similar, but the angles are measured in the opposite direction.
  • the spreader direction of travel is indicated by arrows D and D* .
  • Arrow 108 shows the direction of impeller rotation. Material is dropped onto the impeller at a drop point 110, and exits at an exit point 112 on the outer edge of the impeller, traveling after exit along a path indicated by arrow 114.
  • the radius at the drop point 110 is represented by r, and the radius at the exit point is represented by R.
  • Circle 116 represents the rotational path of exit point 112 (and would coincide with the outer impeller edge if the impeller were circular) .
  • Arrow 118 is tangent to circle 116 at exit point 112, and arrow 120 extends radially from the center of rotation through exit point 112 and is, therefore, perpendicular to tangent arrow 118.
  • Drop point angle (Angle X) indicates the angular position of the drop point 110 with respect to the spreader direction of travel D.
  • Angle Y indicates the angular displacement of the impeller between the drop point 110 and the exit point 112.
  • Exit angle (Angle Z) indicates the direction of travel of material exiting from the impeller with respect to the radial arrow 120.
  • Angle A indicates the direction of particulate material travel with respect to the direction of spreader travel D'.
  • angle A is preselected for a given drop point 110 in order to provide a path for broadcasting material from the drop point 110 on the surface of the impellers 20, 20' along exit path 114 so as to avoid skewed material distribution patterns.
  • angle X is preselected as a function of the placement of the discharge ports 38, 38'.
  • angle Z is calculated from the equation:
  • MU is the kinetic coefficient of friction between the particle and the impeller.
  • the value of the coefficient of friction is dependent on the material being applied and environmental factors, such as humidity.
  • the critical drop point 110 on the surface of the impellers 20, 20' onto which the material to be broadcast must be deposited in order to achieve a non-skewed pattern of distribution will lie at the intersection of the drop point radius r and a chord of the angle X which has been preselected for use herein.
  • FIG. 14 shows an example of the calculation of the direction of material travel for a constructive model of the invention having a single drop point and including the following design parameters as independent variables:
  • the operator may use deflectors 24, 24' to adjust the drop point radius r to compensate for variation in friction coefficient due to product variation and because the impellers 20 and 20' rotate toward each other in the direction of travel they will compensate each other because of decreased variation in the fraction coefficient due to humidity and other factors.
  • multiple drop points may be used as in the preferred embodiment discussed above. The effect of multiple drop points is shown in FIG. 15.
  • the corresponding exit point 122' and direction of travel arrow 124 are shown.
  • the 30 degree counterclockwise displacement of the second drop point 126 causes material to exit at an angle 30 degrees further counterclockwise than the material dropped at the first drop point 122.
  • second exit point 126' is displaced 30 degrees further counterclockwise than first exit point 122• .
  • exit direction arrow 132 indicates that the 30 degree clockwise displacement of the third drop point 128 causes material to exit at an angle 30 degrees further clockwise than the material dropped at the first drop point 122. Accordingly, third exit point 128' is displaced 30 degrees further clockwise than first exit point 122'. Thus, providing multiple drop points provides a wider angular distribution of material from the impellers.
  • FIGS. 16-19 show that a spreader constructed according to the invention performs advantageously compared to prior art spreaders.
  • spreader users apply material to a target area by operating the spreader along a plurality of substantially parallel paths across the region, each path being offset from its neighboring paths by an amount determined by how widely the spreader distributes an effective amount of material.
  • a spreader should distribute material reasonably uniformly within the intended coverage region (swath) , and should minimize the amount of material spuriously distributed outside the intended swath.
  • the coverage swath should be centered on the path of the spreader.
  • Prior art spreaders suffer from the disadvantage that their coverage is highly non-uniform across the intended coverage swath and that their coverage is typically skewed to both sides of the spreader path.
  • Such a coverage pattern obtained by experiment with a prior art spreader is shown graphically in FIG. 16.
  • the graph shows the relative distribution rate measured at various distances from the centerline 134 of the spreader path. Large, narrow peaks 136, 136' about five feet left and right of the centerline dominate the distribution curve, indicating that a disproportionate amount of material is distributed in these regions. The sum of the curves causes a shallow area 138 in the center of the spreader path. This distribution is undesirable, both because it is substantially non-uniform, and because substantially more material is distributed on the left and right side (i.e.
  • FIG. 17 shows the distribution pattern of a constructive model of a spreader according to the present invention.
  • the material distribution pattern due to the right-hand impeller 20' is shown by line 142
  • the distribution pattern due to the left-hand impeller 20 is shown by line 144.
  • Line 146 indicates the distribution pattern of the spreader as a whole, taking into account both impellers 20, 20'. It can be seen from the individual distribution curves that the distribution from right impeller 20, which rotates counterclockwise, is skewed to the left side of the spreader path, and that the distribution from the left impeller 20, which rotates clockwise, is skewed to the right side of the spreader path.
  • the distribution patterns 144, 142 of the individual impellers are somewhat skewed and non-uniform, the combined distribution pattern 146 of the spreader as a whole is substantially uniform and substantially non-skewed.
  • This advantageous distribution pattern results from the inventive use of two impellers rotating towards one another such that material deposited on the impellers is carried on the portion of the impeller nearest the outside edge of the spreader. While dual impeller spreaders with different impeller rotation schemes are known, the performance of such spreaders is less advantageous.
  • FIG. 18 shows the distribution pattern of the prior art spreader of FIG. 16 across two parallel, adjacent application swaths, 11 feet apart.
  • the distribution pattern 148 for a single swath is shown, along with the combined distribution 150 for two adjacent swaths.
  • the pattern shows the effect of overlap between adjacent swaths.
  • the pattern is characterized by large peaks indicating significant variation in the amount of material distributed depending on the distance from the centerline of the swath, even when overlapping coverage from adjacent swaths is taken into account.
  • FIG. 19 shows the distribution pattern of a constructive model of a spreader according to the present invention across three parallel, adjacent application swaths, 8 feet apart (the difference in offset distance between FIGS. 18 and 19 are due to differences in the intended width of the coverage swaths between the two spreaders) .
  • the distribution pattern 152 for a single swath is shown, along with the combined distribution 154 for the three adjacent swaths. While distinct peaks are noticeable, the magnitude of the variations is less than one half that of the prior art spreader shown in FIG. 18.
  • the rotary spreader of the invention provides a distribution system for particulate material having a smooth distribution pattern without significant peaks or skewing. It also provides adequate and convenient pattern adjustment for a wide range of material types. Moreover, the spreader rate and pattern mechanism are greatly simplified as compared to prior systems offering comparable performance.
