Patent number: 11844342Abstract: The present invention provides an electronically controlled valve in each air distribution line for delivering product-conveying air to a boom section of an agricultural machine. The valves can be used to balance airflow between lines by controlling back pressure at the boom sections. In one aspect, an electronically controlled butterfly valve can be installed in each air line between a fan's plenum outlet and a dry product delivery meter. Each valve can be configured to allow some flow when in a closed position. This could be achieved, for example, by configuring a valve plate with a circular perimeter shape that has a smaller diameter than an inner diameter of the line or tube in which the valve plate is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLCInventors: Rex Ruppert, Randy Lindemeier, Jeffrey Scot Martin, Jeremy Amundson

Patent number: 11617298Abstract: An agricultural product delivery applicator for delivering particulate product to a field. The applicator includes a supply compartment to hold the product and a pneumatic conveying system. The system includes an airflow source to provide an airflow, and a delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the supply compartment. The delivery line includes a supply line and a plurality of distribution lines. The system further includes a distributor coupling the supply line with the plurality of distribution lines, a plurality of distributor outlets providing outlet channels for the distributor, and a motor mount disposed away from the aperture along an axis and supported by one or more of the plurality of distributor outlets. A motor is disposed on a delivery lines side of the distributor and fastened to the motor mount.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLCInventors: Rex LeRoy Ruppert, Nicholas R.

Patent number: 11477977Abstract: A foldable rear boom section of an agricultural product applicator includes at least one first tube connected to a first end of a respective at least one second tube and a hinge assembly coupled to the first and second tubes and configured to pivot the second tube with respect to the first tube about a pivot axis. Further, a nozzle is connected to a second end of the second tube. Pivoting the first and second tubes about the pivot axis causes the foldable rear boom section and the nozzle to transition between an extended position and a retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLCInventors: Rex Leroy Ruppert, Jeffrey Scot Martin
