SEED METERING DEVICE DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A TWIN-ROW SEEDER

摘要

An apparatus is disclosed for transmitting power from a drive shaft to a seed meter shaft of a seed metering device. The apparatus includes a transmission having a transmission housing and an input rotatably supported by the transmission housing. The input engages a coupling driven by the drive shaft such that the coupling drivingly engages the input. The transmission further includes an output rotatably supported by the transmission housing. The output is driven by the input and configured to drive the seed meter shaft. The transmission further includes an adjustment element rotatably supported by the housing and connected to the input. The adjustment element is manually rotatable to rotate the input and the output and thereby adjust an angular position of the seed meter shaft relative to the drive shaft.

1. An apparatus for transmitting power from a drive shaft to a seed meter shaft of a seed metering device, comprising:
a transmission including: a transmission housing; an input rotatably supported by the transmission housing and having a first end configured to engage by a coupling driven by the drive shaft such that the coupling drivingly engages the input, the input also having a second end opposite the first end; an output rotatably supported by the transmission housing, the output being directly driven by the input and configured to drive the seed meter shaft; and an adjustment element rotatably supported by the housing and drivingly connected to the second end of the input, the adjustment element being manually rotatable to rotate the input and the output and thereby adjust an angular position of the seed meter shaft relative to the drive shaft.
