Agricultural Air Cart Assembly with Individually Controlled Product Distribution Lines

摘要

An agricultural air cart assembly is provided with individually controlled product distribution lines which allows for balanced pressure and even dispersal of air through different distribution lines of different lengths running to different sections or row units of a seeder or drill, Independently controllable, first and second product metering systems regulate the rates at which product flows from the storage compartment into the first and second distribution lines, respectively. Independently controllable, rotatable fans are operatively connected to corresponding first and second distribution lines and are configured to generate optimized air flows in the first and second distribution lines which entrain and carry the product downstream toward corresponding row units at balances pressures.

主权项

1. An agricultural air cart assembly for transmitting a controlled volume of product from a storage compartment to a plurality of row units for depositing the product on an agricultural field, comprising:
a first distribution line for receiving a first supply of the product from the storage container therein; a second distribution line for receiving a second supply of the product from the storage container therein; a rotatable first fan being operatively connected to the first distribution line and having an adjustable rotational speed, the first fan being configured such that rotation of the first fan generates an air flow in the first distribution line which entrains and carries the first supply of the product downstream toward a first row unit; and a rotatable second fan being operatively connected to the second distribution line and having an adjustable rotational speed, the second fan being configured such that rotation of the second fan generates an air flow in the second distribution line which entrains and carries the second supply of the product downstream toward a second row unit.
