APPARATUS FOR IRRIGATING SOIL DURING PLOWING Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has multiple-body plow with frame and mechanisms for drawing liquid manure from plowed furrow and distributing it over the width of plow. Liquid manure is drawn from plowed furrow by means of spoon-shaped ladles fixed on disk wheel. Ground-engaging members are attached to supporting side of ladles, whose outer side faces are secured by hoops. Upon rotation of wheel, ladles filled with liquid manure are set in upper vertical position, i.e., with their open side oriented downward, so liquid manure is discharged into pan having transporting part and distributing part. Pan is pivotally fixed on plow frame in inclined position with respect to disk wheel, whose shaft is rigidly fixed to transporting part of pan. Distributing part of pan has beveled wall adjoining to plow. EFFECT: increased efficiency by continuous reliable operation of apparatus, uniform distribution of liquid manure over plow width and reduced power consumption. 2 cl, 3 dwg
