Abstract
A cutting device for cutting plants is provided, and includes at least one cutting unit. The cutting unit has at least one probe element, which is fastened to a holding element and is intended for determining an extent of a plant. Furthermore, the cutting unit has at least one cutting element, which is fastened to a further holding element and is intended for cutting the plant depending on the extent. The cutting unit has at least two frame coupling elements. At least one of the holding elements is coupled to a cutting device frame by means of the frame coupling elements. The holding elements are arranged movably relative to one another.
Claims14
A cutting device for cutting plants, the cutting device comprising:
- at least one cutting unit including:
- at least one probe element fastened to a first holding element, the at least one probe element determining an extent of a plant,
- at least one cutting element fastened to a second holding element, the at least one cutting element cutting the plant depending on the extent, and
- at least two frame coupling elements, wherein at least one of the first and second holding elements is coupled to a cutting device frame by the frame coupling elements, and the first and second holding elements are arranged movably relative to one another, and
- an adjustment device which is designed to adjust the first and second holding elements relative to one another independently of a movement of at least one of the first and second holding elements relative to the cutting device frame,
- wherein the first and second holding elements are coupled to one another by at least two holding coupling elements which are arranged pivotable on the first and second holding elements,
- wherein the at least two holding coupling elements form a second parallelogram guide.
A cutting device for cutting plants, the cutting device comprising:
- at least one cutting unit including:
- at least one probe element fastened to a first holding element, the at least one probe element determining an extent of a plant,
- at least one cutting element fastened to a second holding element, the at least one cutting element cutting the plant depending on the extent, and
- at least two frame coupling elements, wherein at least one of the first and second holding elements is coupled to a cutting device frame by the frame coupling elements, and the first and second holding elements are arranged movably relative to one another, and
- an adjustment device which is designed to adjust the first and second holding elements relative to one another independently of a movement of at least one of the first and second holding elements relative to the cutting device frame,
- wherein the first and second holding elements are coupled to one another by at least two holding coupling elements which are arranged pivotable on the first and second holding elements,
- wherein the adjustment device comprises an adjustment coupling element which is arranged on a first of the holding coupling elements and/or on the second holding element.
A cutting device for cutting plants, the cutting device comprising:
- at least one cutting unit including:
- at least one probe element fastened to a first holding element, the at least one probe element determining an extent of a plant,
- at least one cutting element fastened to a second holding element, the at least one cutting element cutting the plant depending on the extent, and
- at least two frame coupling elements, wherein at least one of the first and second holding elements is coupled to a cutting device frame by the frame coupling elements, and the first and second holding elements are arranged movably relative to one another, and
- an adjustment device which is designed to adjust the first and second holding elements relative to one another independently of a movement of at least one of the first and second holding elements relative to the cutting device frame,
- at least two cutting units, wherein the adjustment device adjusts holding elements of different cutting units,
- wherein at least one of the cutting units can be transferred in a transverse direction relative to the cutting device frame from a first working configuration into a second working configuration, and the adjustment element adjusts the holding elements of the cutting unit in the first and in the second working configuration.
