The circular disk distribution fan is connected with a wheel shaft, so fertilizer discharged though the fertilizer discharge port is distributed as it is hit by a circular disk distribution fan.
The conventional tug type powerless fertilize distributor uses a driving force from a wheel shaft which can be economically constructed because a motor or a driving device driving a circular distribution fan can be omitted. As a tugging means, an agriculture machine such as a tractor, a tiller, a cultivator, etc. as well as horses and cows and a human power can be directly used, so it can be widely used where an agriculture machine is not provided and used.
However, the conventional tug type powerless fertilizer distributor is formed of one circular disk distributor fan, and a hopper installed depending on the fan is conical and small, so a distribution range is narrow, and a loading capacity is low, for which a wide area fertilizer distribution work as in a golf field or a wide cultivation area is not efficient.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a powerless double-distribution fans fertilizer distributor in which in a powerless tugging type fertilizer distributor distributing fertilizer powerlessly by receiving a rotational force of both wheels driven by tugging and converting the same into a rotational driving force of distribution fans, there are provided a large capacity hopper, and a circular disk distribution fan corresponding to each fertilizer discharge port is installed at a lower side of a hopper, thus distributing over a wide range by hitting fertilizer discharged through fertilizer discharge ports disposed at left and right sides. Each distribution fan is connected with both wheel shafts, thus being driven by means of a driving force from each wheel shaft, by means of which it is possible to distribute fertilizer over a wide range of areas in a more effective way.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a powerless double-distribution fertilizer distributor which can help distribute fertilizer in a high capacity and efficiency and effectively distribute fertilizer in a place where cows or horses are used for an agriculture with the aid of a driven tugging apparatus the driving and tugging force of which can be brought from a tractor, a lawn machine, a cultivator, and a motored cart generally used in a golf field or somewhere or can be brought from animals such as cows or horses.
It is further another object of the present invention to effectively use a rotation driving force of wheels when driving a distribution fan by providing a clutching gear box which connects one wheel shaft and one distribution fan shaft.
It is further another object of the present invention to adjust the amount of fertilizer distribution in such a way to limit both the driving sides of a distribution fan installed at left and right sides or limit one side among both the driving sides of a distribution fan installed at left and right sides by means of an intermittent lever operation of a clutch.
In addition, it is further another object of the present invention to provide a fertilizer distributor in which the distribution amount of fertilizer can be concurrently adjusted by means of one lever operation by allowing a distribution amount adjusting apparatus installed at both fertilizer discharge ports of a hopper to operate in sync.
In the present invention, since fertilizer distribution is performed by way of two portions with the aid of a circular disk distribution fan installed at left and right sides, fertilizer can be distributed over wider area at a time, and a large capacity hopper helps efficiently distribute fertilizer in a wide range of area continuously.
The present invention is advantageous to fast and uniformly distribute a lot of fertilizer at a time using a large capacity hopper, and it is possible to distribute fertilizer through one side or at two sides, so the amount of distribution can be selectively controlled, and distribution efficiency can be enhanced.
The present invention is directed to driving a distribution fan and an agitating blades by means of a rotation force of wheels generating when wheels rolls by a tugging means, so fertilizer distributions can be made possible by a certain driving force transfer means such as a tractor, a tiller, a lawn machine, and a cultivator as well a noise-free motored vehicle or animal such as horses or cows.
The present invention is advantageous to freely perform a driving force intermittent operation in such a way to adjust a distribution amount by intermitting both the driving forces of distribution fans installed in the left and right directions or one of the driving forces of distribution fans installed in the left and right directions by means of an intermittent lever operation as a driving force of wheel shafts is converted into a driving force for distribution fans with the aid of a clutching gear box structure of the present invention.
The present invention provides an advantage maintaining the distribution amount of fertilizer distributed from both sides identical as two distribution amount adjusting plates work in sync, thus also providing a function of controlling the above operation at a time.
The present invention will become better understood with reference to the accompanying drawings which are given only by way of illustration and thus are not limitative of the present invention, wherein;

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in details with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The construction of the present invention will be described. A hopper 20 with a fertilizer discharge port in a left and right symmetrical shape is installed at an upper side of the body frame 10 in front of which a tugging part 12 is installed. The left and right-divided wheel shaft 30 is installed at a lower side of the frame so that one shaft end is connected with the wheel 11, and the other shaft end is positioned at a center lower side of the fertilizer discharge port 21 of the hopper 20. A clutch gear box 40 intermitting the rotations of each wheel shaft and converting at an angle of 90 degrees the rotation of the wheels is engaged to two wheel shaft ends of left and right sides, and a gear shaft 41 is is installed in a vertical direction of the clutch gear box 40, and two circular disk distribution fans 50 are engaged to the gear shaft 41, and each gear shaft passes through the interior of the hopper, and the agitating blade 60 is engaged to its end, and the distribution amount adjusting apparatus 70 adjusting the discharge amount is installed at the fertilizer discharge port 21 of each hopper.
In the above construction, the body frame 10 is characterized in that the wheels 11 are engaged at left and right sides for movement, and the hopper 20 is installed at an upper side, and the tugging parts 12, 12′ are installed in front of the same.
The tugging parts 12 and 12′ can be implemented in various shapes and are basically directed to tugging a distributor by connecting a tractor, a tiller, a cultivator, a lawn machine, a noise-free motored vehicle or horses or cows.
As shown in
As shown in
When the motored vehicle or common vehicle is used as a tugging means, a tugging part of a ball cup structure is provided at a front end of the body frame, and is connected at a tugging rod attached to a vehicle.
The tugging part might be implemented in various shapes to match with the tugging means generally used. It is not limited thereto in the present invention.
The hopper 20 is a space for storing fertilizer to be distributed, and might be formed in a cubic box shape as shown in the drawings and might be implemented in various shapes. A left and right symmetrically-structured fertilizer discharge part 21 is provided at a lower side, thus discharging the stored fertilized through the lower fertilizer discharge port.
The bottom of the hopper with the fertilizer discharge port 21 is divided into two sides toward the fertilizer discharge port of both sides so as to smoothly guide the discharge of fertilizer in the hopper and is getting narrower into a downward direction.
The fertilizer distribution amount adjusting apparatus 70 is configured in such a way that the fertilizer discharge port 21 is formed of two holes, so the fertilizer discharge amount can be adjusted by opening or closing the holes.
The wheel shaft 30 is a shaft connected with the wheels so as to use the rotation of the wheels 11 for the operation of the distribution fans and is connected with the clutch gear box 40 for thereby forming a main driving shaft, thus performing an operation that the rotational force is outputted to the gear shaft 41 forming the driven shaft of the clutch gear box, so the rotations of the wheels are converted into the driving force of the distribution fans.
The clutch gear box 40 might be formed in various forms as a gear box which is directed to converting the rotation of the wheel shafts into 90° rotations, thus driving the distribution fans, and intermitting the driving force with the aid of the clutch in the interior.
As shown in
In the present invention, the distribution amount distribution can be adjusted in such a way to intermit one operation between left and right direction operations in terms of the driving operations of the distribution fan 50 installed in left and right directions by means of the operation of the clutch intermittent lever 47 if necessary.
The bevel gear 44 is connected to the wheel shaft 30, and the gear 411 is connected with the bearing 412 so as to support the lower side of the gear shaft 41, so the driving force is transferred as the gear 411 of the gear shaft 41 and the bevel gear 44 of the wheel shaft come into contact with each other.
As the rotation of the wheel shaft 30 is intermitted by means of the clutch 45 and is applied to the vertically protruded gear shaft 41, the distribution fans 50 and the agitating blades 60 connected to the gear shaft rotate and are driven.
The left and right wheel shafts 30 are inserted into the housing 32 and are supported, and the housing is connected to the clutch gear box 40 by means of the flange and is fixedly engaged to the body frame, so the wheel shaft, the housing, the clutch gear box and the distribution fans are secured to the body frame, respectively.
As the left and right clutch gear boxes 40 are connected by way of the connection tube 80, thus obtaining a durable connection, but the connection tube 80 might be omitted.
The operation of the clutch gear box might be divided into a state in which a driving force is disconnected as the rotation of the wheel shaft 30 is not transferred to the gear shaft 41 vertically formed, and a state in which the driving force is connected as the rotation of the wheel shaft is applied to the gear shaft 41.
{circle around (1)} A state that the driving force of the clutch gear box is disconnected.
When the wheels 11 roll by means of the movement of the fertilizer distributor by means of a tugging means, the wheel shaft 30 secured to the wheels rotate in sync with the wheels in the housing 32 at a ratio of 1:1.
The bevel gear 44 and the clutch 45 are sequentially engaged in the hexagonal case 42 of the shaft end of the wheel shaft 30; however the bevel gear 44 is secured in pair with respect to the wheel shaft, so the bevel gear 44 keeps a stopped state irrespective of the rotations of the wheel shafts.
The clutch 45 is secured to the spline 31 formed at a shaft end of the wheel shaft, thus maintaining a rotation state as it rotates depending on the rotation of the wheel shaft.
The toenail 451 formed at the clutch and the toenail 451 formed at the bevel gear 44 are spaced apart from each other, so the rotational force of the wheel shafts is transferred to the cutch 45; however it is not transferred to the bevel gear 44, so the driving force remains disconnected.
In the state that the driving force is disconnected, the load of the distribution fans secured to the gear shaft is not applied to the wheels, it is light to move, and a distribution can be done as driving force is connected to one of the distribution fans.
{circle around (2)} A state that the driving force of the clutch gear box is connected.
When the intermittent lever 47 is moved being connected, the column 46 secured to the intermittent lever is pushed toward the hexagonal case 42 and pushes the rotating clutch 45 secured to the spline 31, so the toenail 451 of the clutch 45 and the toenail 441 of the bevel gear 44 approach each other for engagement. So, the rotational force of the wheel shaft is transferred to the clutch, and the bevel gear engaged with the clutch rotates.
Since the gear 411 of the gear shaft 41 is engaged with the bevel gear 44, it rotates depending on the rotation of the bevel gear, so the driving force is applied to rotate the distribution fans and the agitating blades.
The gear ratio of the bevel gear 44 and the gear 411 of the gear shaft 41 is approximately 4˜8:1, and the distribution fans rotate 4˜8 turns per one revolution, thus obtaining a rotational force enough for the distribution of fertilizer.
As shown in
The structure that the fixing bolt 463 is secured is basically directed to preventing the connection of the driving force to the distribution fans during the movement and to eliminating potential danger which might occur due to the rotation of the distribution fans while preventing the loss of driving force.
The clutch gear boxes are secured to the left and right wheel shafts, so it is possible to separately drive each distribution fan or to concurrently drive both the distribution fans.
A hollow connection tube 80 is connected between the clutch gear boxes of both sides, thus stably supporting the wheel shafts to the body frame.
The distribution amount adjusting plate 72 is characterized in that the fertilizer discharge port 721 corresponding to the fertilizer discharge port 21 formed at the bottom of the hopper is formed, and an arm 722 is formed at an outer side of the circular plate so that a smooth link operation can be performed by connecting the first link and the second link.
The sync operations in terms of the adjustment of the distribution amount is advantageous to identically maintain the amount of distribution in left and right directions by means of a lever operation of one time.
As shown in

As shown in
The present invention is advantages to concurrently distribute fertilizer of the hopper in both directions with the aid of various tugging means which are simple tugged. If necessary, the fertilizer discharge port of one side can be closed, and the distribution fan rotation driving force is disconnected, so distribution can be performed in one direction. So, it is possible to effectively perform a distribution work depending on the purpose of distribution.
As described above, the present invention is directed to generating a driving force needed for tugging from a motored vehicle or animal such as horses or cows, so a large capacity distribution and a high efficiency distribution can be made possible with the aid of motored tugging apparatuses. An effective fertilization work can be down in a farm field where uses animal such as cows is or horses, and the present invention can be very efficiently applied to a mass agriculture area.
