Abstract

The invention relates to an agricultural machine (10), preferably for soil tillage and/or sowing, comprising a machine frame (36), having a carrier (32) mounted thereon so as to be height- and/or angle-adjustable by means of an adjustment mechanism (38), to which carrier a tool unit (12) is attached, the contact pressure of which tool unit against the soil (34) to be tilled and/or the working depth of which tool unit can be varied according to the position of the carrier (32) relative to the machine frame (36), which position can be set by means of the adjustment mechanism. A deflection and/or angular position and/or height change of the carrier (32) and/or of the tool unit (12) is sensed by means of a first sensing device (44). A distance of a reference component of the agricultural machine (10) from the soil and/or an angular position of the reference component in space can be sensed by means of a second sensing device (50). Setpoint values for the working depth and/or for the contact pressure are stored in a signal-processing and control device (48). By comparison of the measured values (46, 52) provided by the sensing devices (44, 50) with the setpoint values, control signals (54) for the control of the adjustment mechanism (38) can be generated. The invention further relates to a method for operating an agricultural machine of this type.

The individualizing element (150) has a plurality of recesses (151) for the grains (S), and the grains (S) can be held in the recesses (151) on the basis of the pressure difference using the compressed air provided by the first compressed air supply. Individualized grains (S) are dispensed into a grain line (K) in the dispensing region (B2) in order to distribute individualized grains (S) on or in cropping soil. In order to provide an improved and/or alternative individualizing device, preferably an individualizing device which can be used universally for different grain types and/or for different soil conditions for example, a second compressed air supply (D2) is provided in order to prevent a flow of air out of the chamber (B1) into the grain line (K) and in order to transport the grains (S) through the grain line (K) in an accelerated manner by means of the compressed air. The invention additionally relates to a method for dispensing grains in an individualized manner and to an agricultural row unit.

At least one of the outlets is assigned a shut-off device (28) which has a switch (30), by means of which the distributing-material volumetric air flow can be conducted in the direction of a seed line connection (48) assigned to the shut-off device or in the direction of a return region (45) assigned to the shut-off device. The return region is adjoined by a return device (38) which surrounds the rising tube and/or is part thereof. In the region of the return device, the rising tube has openings (40) for receiving the returned distributing material. In order to be able to cut off any number of outlets without a serious change in the transverse distribution occurring, it is provided that the rising tube, the return device and/or the return region and also the seed line connection are permanently pneumatically connected irrespective of the particular position of the switch. The invention furthermore provides a corresponding method for the series cut-off.
