  • Patent number: 8443742
    Abstract: An agricultural machine including a seed metering device to meter seeds for the distribution to the ground across which the agricultural machine moves. The seed metering device embraces a wall that is arranged to rotate. The seed metering device is furthermore arranged to communicate with a pressure actuating appliance for providing a wall pressure difference between a seed reception side, high-pressure side, of the wall and a side, low pressure side, of the wall that is opposite the seed reception side. The wall is provided with a plurality of through retention openings for the reception on the seed reception side of the wall, by the wall pressure difference, of seeds at the retention openings. Then, the seeds are transported, by the rotation of the wall, through a wall transportation distance whereupon they are released from the wall.

  • Patent number: 8336471
    Abstract: Agricultural machine embracing at least one drilling unit including a support device as well as a seed metering device. The drilling unit is movably connected with a structural member embraced by the agricultural machine. The seed metering device is fixedly connected with the support device of the drilling unit and the seed metering device includes a chamber for seeds arranged to be supplied with a positive pressure where the seed metering element constitutes a wall limiting the chamber and in which holes or recesses are arranged. The holes/recesses connect the chamber with the surroundings, with the purpose of, by the pressure difference developed hereby, attaching and transporting seeds at the holes/recesses of the seed metering element. A seed metering line has an inlet in the chamber, with the purpose of, by the positive pressure in the chamber, creating an air flow for the transportation of the seeds from the chamber through the seed metering line to a drill furrow.
