Material Clearing System For An Agricultural Machine
20210121900 · 2021-04-29 ·

The invention provides a material clearing or cleaning system which can be installed on an agricultural machine to spray off, blow off or otherwise clear off agricultural product, dust, debris and/or other material from the machine. The material clearing system can comprise a piping, tubing or fluid conduits with installed nozzles which can be customized to focus a cleaning fluid, such as air or water delivered under compression, onto targeted areas of likely build-up on the machine, to clear such excess material and increase the life of the equipment. Nozzles could be fitted anywhere on the piping, for example, by piercing a nozzle into the piping in a given direction. Nozzles could also comprise goose necks for directing the fluid in various directions by reshaping the goose neck.

An agricultural vehicle having a chassis and an application boom coupled to the chassis. The agricultural vehicle is configured to deliver agricultural product to an agricultural field. The application boom has a boom arm. The boom arm includes a longitudinal truss member, and a longitudinal chase supported by the longitudinal truss member. The longitudinal chase includes a channel. The agricultural vehicle further includes an application system. The application system has a product tank supported by the chassis and storing a volume of the agricultural product for delivery onto an agricultural field, a plurality of nozzle bodies, a piping system delivering the agricultural product to the plurality of nozzle bodies, and one or more control lines coupled to the plurality of nozzle bodies and for controlling the plurality of nozzle bodies. The one or more control lines are supported by the channel.

BOOM ROLL LINKAGE
20210022331 · 2021-01-28 · ·

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a boom suspension system that mitigates roll of respective booms as an associated vehicle rolls from side to side. The exemplary system can comprise a stabilizer bar that couples a left boom to a right boom, by coupling to respective booms' tilt cylinders. The stabilizer bar can be engaged with a central frame, which is fixedly engaged with the vehicle's chassis, through a stabilizer link. The stabilizer link allows the stabilizer bar to move horizontally left and right independently of the left and right movement of the central frame, caused by the vehicle roll. In this way, the inertia of the respective booms allows the stabilizer bar to remain in a substantially neutral position while the central frame, and vehicle, roll from side to side.

A spraying leg for an agricultural spraying machine, to an air-flow module for such a leg, and to an agricultural spraying machine provided with at least one such leg. Agricultural spraying machines which comprise spraying legs are known from the prior art, each spraying leg being provided with air diffuser and spray nozzle units, making it possible to send phytosanitary products driven by pulsed air onto the vegetation to be treated. A spraying nozzle is provided which can easily be adapted to the nature of the plants to be treated, in particular to the height and the configuration thereof. The spraying nozzle comprises at least one mounting, and a plurality of spraying modules attached to the mounting, each module forming an air-flow duct capable of each supporting at least one air diffuser and spray nozzle unit, the modules being connected to one another.

Spray Boom For An Agricultural Machine
20200337291 · 2020-10-29 ·

The present invention is directed to a spray boom for an agricultural machine in which the boom is arranged as a truss with interior diagonal struts of the truss being configured to absorb tension and compression energy imparted by deflections over the length of the boom with such energy being dissipated as heat. In one aspect, the diagonal strut could comprise a rod moveable with respect to a tube with a polymer, such as an elastomeric material, arranged in the tube to dampen the movement. The tension and compression of the diagonal strut could subject the dampener to a shearing force which could be absorbed by the dampener rather than transferred to the machine.
