Abstract
A device is movable in a direction of travel over land. The device is provided with a lifting mechanism for picking up a product from the land, and a transport mechanism which is positioned with respect to the lifting mechanism in such a way that the product picked up from the land by the lifting mechanism can be moved onto the transport mechanism. The product can be conveyed in at least one transport direction and can be deposited on the land via the transport mechanism.
Claims16
A device which is movable in a direction of travel over land which can be worked by means of the device, wherein the device is provided with at least one lifting mechanism for picking up a product from the land, as well as with at least one transport mechanism which is positioned with respect to the lifting mechanism in such a way that the product picked up from the land by the lifting mechanism can be moved onto the transport mechanism, wherein the product can be conveyed in at least one transport direction and can be deposited on the land by the transport mechanism, characterized in that the device is furthermore provided with an introduction mechanism comprising at least two rotatable rollers which are arranged substantially parallel to each other and which are provided to support the lifting mechanism in order to pick up product from the land, wherein a product passage is provided between each roller and the lifting mechanism,
- wherein, viewed in the direction of travel, the lifting mechanism is arranged between the introduction mechanism and the transport mechanism,
- wherein the distance between the land and a rotation axle of a first roller of the at least two rotatable rollers is smaller than the distance between the land and a rotation axle of a second roller of the at least two rotatable rollers,
- wherein the distance between the land and the rotation axle of the first roller is smaller than the distance between the land and a rotation axle of the lifting mechanism,
- wherein the at least two rollers are connected to each other by a connecting mechanism and wherein rotation of the first roller of the at least two rollers automatically results in rotation of the second roller of the at least two rollers, the first roller is driven when contacting the ground in operation that results in the second roller being automatically driven via the connecting mechanism.
