The invention relates to a device (10) for metering or individually distributing material particles (S), in particular seeds and/or fertilizer, onto agricultural land, comprising at least one storage container which has at least one chamber in the storage container interior for storing loose material particles in bulk form, at least one individualizing device (20) which protrudes into the chamber of the storage container and which has a driven transport means (22) with at least one bucket receiving area (24) for receiving a specified quantity of material particles (S) from the loose material particles in bulk form in the chamber, in particular an individual material particle (S), wherein the driven transport means (22) is designed to guide the at least one bucket receiving area (24) through the material particles in bulk form and convey at least one material particle (S) received in the bucket receiving area (24) out of the chamber opposite the gravitational force (G). The at least one bucket receiving area (24) is releasably connected to the driven transport means (22).
A device (10) for metering or individually distributing material particles (S), in particular seed and/or fertilizer, on agricultural land,
The device (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the singularization device (20) has at least two transport means (22) which in terms of their movement speed are able to be driven in a mutually independent manner, and/or wherein the device (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims has at least two singularization devices (20).
The device (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the singularization device has at least one wiper apparatus (30) by means of which excess material particles (S) can be wiped off into the assigned chamber so as to ensure that the predefined quantity of material particles is received in the scoop receptacle (24).
The device (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the singularization device has a multiplicity of scoop receptacles (24) which are releasably connected to the assigned transport means (22), and wherein the assigned transport means (22) comprises a revolving conveyor belt to which the scoop receptacles (24) are releasably fastened.
The device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the at least one transport means (22) of the singularization devices is guided by way of at least one first (26) and a second (28) shaft, wherein the first shaft (26) comprises in particular a drive shaft, and the second shaft (28) comprises in particular a deflection shaft for the revolving transport means (22), and wherein a shaft (26, 28) for guiding the transport means (22) marks a reversal point at which the at least one material particle (S) received in the scoop receptacle (24) of the assigned transport means (22) is no longer held in the scoop receptacle (24) by gravity (G) and falls into a free-fall region.
The device (10) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the size of the at least one scoop receptacle (24) is able to be adapted to the size of the at least one material particle (S) to be received, or the quantity of the material particles (S) to be received.
