Abstract: The invention relates to a device for metering a granular or grainy material in a distributor machine, comprising a housing; an inlet opening which is formed on the housing and through which a granular or grainy material can be introduced in the housing for metering; an outlet opening which is formed on the housing and through which the granular or grainy material can be discharged out of the housing after metering; a metering space which is formed in the housing in such a way that granular or grainy material in the housing can be moved from the inlet opening via the metering space to the outlet opening; a metering wheel which is arranged in the metering space on a drive shaft, and which is configured to meter the granular or grainy material supplied via the inlet opening; a mounting opening which is formed on the housing and via which the metering wheel can be exchangeably mounted in the metering space; and a mounting component which is detachably arranged in the mounting opening in a mounted position, and t

Abstract: A sowing unit for a sowing machine that comprises a coupling device, a joint device provided between the coupling device and a support device with separate fastening points for functional components, and a sowing heart which meters a work product is disclosed. The support device has a proximal support arm, which couples to the joint device, and a distal support arm, which, on a side of the proximal support arm facing away from the joint device, extends away from the proximal support arm, and on which the sowing heart is arranged laterally in the area of an assembly section in such a way that a rear side of the sowing heart is arranged so as to be located opposite to the assembly section of the distal support arm and a front side of the sowing heart is arranged so as to be unobstructed by the support device.

Abstract: A seeding heart for a single-grain seeding machine comprising a seeding disc rotatable in a rotational direction (R) with a large number of seeding holes distributed concentrically with respect to the seeding disc along at least one seeding hole circle and at least one agitator shaft for the movement of the seed, said agitator shaft being disposed in a holding section for holding the seed on the seeding holes of the seeding disc, characterised in that the agitator shaft is constituted replaceable in a modular manner. A single-grain seeding machine including the seeding heart.

Abstract: A sowing heart control apparatus for controlling a sowing heart with a sowing heart monitoring apparatus having an evaluation unit for determining the occupancy of sowing holes of a rotating seed disk with a seed in operation. The evaluation unit delivers an actual value of the occupancy of one or more sowing holes. The sowing heart control apparatus, depending on a deviation of the actual occupancy value from a predetermined setpoint of the occupancy of one or more sowing holes, controlling actuating elements which influence the occupancy. The invention also relates to a sowing heart and a single seed drill.

Abstract: A coulter with a coulter disc for delivering agricultural materials into soil along one direction F of travel, a height measuring apparatus which is located in the region of the coulter disc for measuring a penetration depth Tm of the coulter disc into the soil, a coulter holder for swivelling holding of the coulter disc on a coulter frame and height setting relative to the coulter frame, the penetration depth T of the coulter disc being controllable/adjustable depending on the measured penetration depth Tm.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a seeding heart and a single-grain seeding machine.

Abstract: A sowing heart for a single-seed drill, wherein the sowing heart includes a seed disc which can be rotated in one direction (R) of rotation, the seed disc having seed holes in a defined arrangement; a receiving region for receiving the seed into the seed holes and a delivery region for delivery of the seed; a cleaning apparatus located between the delivery region and the receiving region for cleaning of the seed holes during the operation of the sowing heart, wherein the cleaning apparatus is made as a rotating wheel with at least one projection which meshes with the seed holes. The invention is also directed to a single-seed drill with such a sowing heart.

Abstract: A sowing heart monitoring apparatus for connection to a sowing heart and for monitoring of the sowing heart with a line camera with one detection direction, a housing which can be attached to the sowing heart for accommodating the line camera and a radiation source for generating electromagnetic waves which can be detected by the line camera with one radiation direction. The sowing heart monitoring apparatus is made such that electromagnetic waves which have been generated by the radiation source can be detected by the line camera after reflection on one reflection surface of a rotating sowing disc of the sowing heart and can be evaluated by an evaluation unit. The invention also relates to a sowing heart and a single-seed drill.
