Description

 Title: Device for loading and transporting round bales

The invention relates to a device for loading and transporting round bales comprising a continuously open base frame, which has two longitudinal frame parts for forming a continuous in the longitudinal direction of the device in an entire loading area loading bed for the round bales, wherein the longitudinal frame parts at its front end an inlet mold for Receiving the round bales, and wherein the longitudinal frame parts are arranged at least partially from a driving position, in which the longitudinal frame parts are arranged running at a distance from the ground, into a receiving position for the round bales in which at least a part of the longitudinal frame parts are at least approximately resting on the ground, are adjustable, and with a drawbar which is pivotally mounted on the base frame from a transport position to a loading position.

There are already different embodiments of devices known that allow the transport of round bales using work machines.

Thus, DE 20 2009 011 933 Ul describes a device that can load only a round bale using the hydraulics of a working machine. The same disadvantage has the model according to DE 90 16 246 Ul, which is also suitable only for loading and transporting a round ball. Another weakness of these variants is that they must be attached directly to the hydraulics of the work machine.

But there are also loading wagons for round bales known, with which several round bales can be transported simultaneously.

Thus, the AT 402 774 B describes a loader wagon for pressed stalk bales, especially for round bales, preferably for wrapped with a foil silage bales, with a plurality of successively lying Halmgutballen receiving cargo area and a chassis, the cargo area relative to the chassis to a transversely to the Longitudinal direction of the loading wagon extending axis is tilted, and the loading area of a plurality of loosely rotating rollers is formed and between the rollers at least one, a movement of the stalk bales in the longitudinal direction of the loading carriage inhibiting barrier which optionally has a projecting over the loading surface Hemm Position or one under the Loading surface lying release position has. The loading area may have a length which corresponds to four to six silage bales arranged one behind the other in the axial direction, for which, however, two to four barriers are each arranged approximately at the spacing of the length of a silage bale.

The AT 12 200 Ul describes a device for loading and transporting round bales consisting of a bale fork and a bale spit on a main carrier frame and a cylinder and a lever mechanism, wherein the bale fork and bale are rotatably connected to the main carrier frame and the bale spigot with the cylinder the and the bale fork are lifted and lowered with the lever mechanism, wherein the force between the cylinder and the lever mechanism is transmitted via a rotary roller. Although several round bales can thus be included, but this only in the course of reversing the tractor with a dolly which has a serious disadvantage when threading the round bale in the recording, because the Einfädelbereich the round bale in the recording a few meters away from the driver of the vehicle or by loaded round bales outside the field of view of the driver is located. Furthermore, valuable time and fuel are wasted by backward loading. This in turn causes the production costs to increase significantly. Each time the round bale diameter is changed, a mechanical adjustment must be made manually. If the means of transport is left in the loaded state, it tends to tilt backwards.

DE 25 53 438 AI describes a loader wagon for handling Erntegutpackungen, such as hay or fodder bales od. Like., Especially larger round bales, comprising a traveling frame and a loading bed arrangement with a plurality of laterally spaced longitudinal support rails, with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction in inclined positions are movable until the respective end of the support rails is located above the ground or field level, one on each support rail movably held conveyor with outer sections, located on a path along and above the top of the support rails and at least one of the ends move around the support rails to receive a bale from the field at the corresponding end of the inclined rail support rails, by a drive device for the conveyors, and arranged at the front end of the support rails runner elements to support the respective support rail on the floor, each runner element contains an opening for the passage of the movable conveyors and their outer sections and for their engagement with the field floor to facilitate driving under the respective support rail under the male bale. The drawbar of the loading wagon is arranged laterally pivotable on the traveling frame, so that it is possible to pivot from a first position in the longitudinal direction of the loading wagon to a second position obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the loading wagon. It is possible with this self-loading wagon to receive the round bales in the direction of travel, whereby the disadvantage described above is eliminated.

The invention has for its object to provide an improved device for loading and transporting round bales.

The object of the invention is achieved in the aforementioned device for loading and transporting round bales in that the base frame is cage-like formed of a plurality of brackets and the associated longitudinal frame members, and that two or more Hubachsen are arranged on axes of rotation about axes of rotation about which the

 Hub / lowering of the base frame and thus the longitudinal frame parts in all positions interruptible and re-introduceable feasible, and that the pivoting of the drawbar simultaneously or separately or combined with the lifting / lowering movement of the base frame feasible, and that charging a round bale in the direction of travel or against the direction of travel on the tensile or shear force of a towing vehicle is feasible.

The advantage here is that the device is relatively simple. In particular, an additional conveyor and the components required for it are not necessary. As a result, the device is less susceptible to mechanical defects and the maintenance and repair work is also significantly reduced. By avoiding the additional conveyor, the device can be formed without great design effort not only for the loading in the direction of travel of the towing vehicle, ie from the front, but optionally also for the load from behind, so that bales can be taken, for reasons of space from the front are not rechargeable, for example, by the baler were placed unfavorably. Due to the cage-like construction of the base frame, a correspondingly high level of safety can be achieved during the transport of the bales. In addition, it can be prevented that a bale due to the postponement of another bale slip back out of the device can. It can thus be simplified loading of the device, which takes place by pushing the bale due to the tensile or pushing force exerted by the towing vehicle. An already loaded bale is therefore pushed out of the loading area only by a bale to be reloaded. In addition, it is possible with the device to load bales with very different bale diameters and if necessary to transport simultaneously, since the support of the bales down over the longitudinal frame parts, so that with a corresponding small spacing to each other can be prevented that bales with smaller diameter slip down or project so far down that they touch the ground during transport. It is not necessary to retrofit the device to accommodate bales with a larger diameter.

According to a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the drawbar is designed as a swivel drawbar and is pivotally attached to the top of the base frame. This has the advantage that the towing vehicle can be attached laterally offset directly in front of the device and not as in the prior art according to DE 25 53 438 AI. Thus, the overall width of the team can be significantly reduced, so that it becomes roadworthy, i. the traffic order can be trained accordingly. In addition, this ensures that the swivel drawbar can also act as a transport safeguard for the bales, as it allows the cage-like base frame to be "closed" to the front without any additional components, with the term "closed" being in view of the diameter of the bales understand. It is thus achieved no conclusion in the sense of a tail lift. But due to the size of the bales they can not slip between the drawbar and the base frame when the drawbar is pivoted, so it is in the transport position. The arrangement of the swivel drawbar on top of the base frame has the advantage that the swivel drawbar can be selectively pivoted to the left or to the right.

According to a preferred embodiment, it may be provided that a turntable is arranged on top of the base frame and the swivel articulated drawbar is mounted on this rotary crown, whereby the pivoting mobility of the drawbar between the transport position and the loading position can be improved. According to one embodiment, it can be provided, the turntable has a running plate on which a roller is supported. About the roller can be achieved that the turntable does not begin to oscillate when braking or accelerating or can be significantly reduced the swing. It can thus the driving safety of the device can be improved.

Preferably, the drawbar on an automatic transport lock on to at least largely rule out accident of the driver during the transport of bales on roads.

The transport lock can preferably be designed as a slotted guide, as this allows a simple, purely mechanical locking can be provided, which is relatively insusceptible to defects or incorrect operation. It can further be provided that the inlet shape is formed in the front and / or in the rear end region of the longitudinal frame parts by a bending of the longitudinal frame parts. Again, the construction of the device can thus be significantly simplified by eliminating the need for additional components. The number of individual components of the device can thus be reduced.

According to a further embodiment variant of the device, it can be provided that at least one strip-shaped element is projectingly arranged on the longitudinal frame parts in the direction of the open loading bed between the longitudinal frame parts. On the one hand, it can improve the reception of round bales with a relatively small diameter in the base frame. On the other hand, but also a better load distribution and force distribution in the base frame can be achieved. In addition, it can also be achieved that, for example, hay bales can be better loaded and transported with hay ventilation. Hay bales with hay bales are round bales which have a relatively loose or soft core. Another advantage is that very moist silage bales can be transported better. In fact, silage bales with more than 35% moisture are usually misshapen due to transport. Overall, therefore, can be improved by the strips, the variability of the device, since round bales of different nature (such as Silage, hay, straw) can be picked up in independent order and transported at the same time.

It may further be provided that a load securing device is arranged on the drawbar. This load securing makes it possible to use the inlet area for loading and transporting an additional bale.

For the same reason it can be provided that at the rear end of the base frame a pivotable or extendable tailgate and / or an additional bracket per longitudinal frame part is arranged.

In the preferred embodiment of the device, the base frame is constructed in a modular manner. It is thus possible to produce different versions of the device by only a few components or equipment. Due to the modular structure, a later upgrade of the device, for example, to transport up to eight round bales at the same time is easy to carry out at any time. It should be noted in this context that the said number of eight round bales only results from the Highway Code, since the round bales have a certain height and trailers may only have a maximum length. In principle, however, more than eight round bales can be charged and transported at the same time, provided that the towing vehicle has a corresponding performance for this purpose.

Each individual stroke axis can be designed to be hydraulically damped in order to be able to carry out the transport of round bales wound in foil more gently. The wrapping film usually tends to friction with the base frame and therefore can be relatively easily tear or holes.

According to another embodiment, it can be provided that a location system for locating the round bales is arranged at this. Among other things, the loading of round bales can thus be simplified or automated. It is thus e.g. According to a further embodiment of the device possible that with the help of the location s system the

Hub / lowering movement of the base frame is controlled. It is thus due to the data provided by the locating system, a soil protection possible by, for example, the Diameter of the respective bale is taken into account and the lowering movement is performed tuned to this diameter. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the lowering movement of the base frame is controlled by means of feeler elements, which may optionally be part of the locating system. Thus, it can be better avoided that the lowering movement is carried out too far and the inlet area digs into the ground or tears the floor. Of course, however, in embodiments without locating system a path limitation may be provided which limits the lowering path to a maximum. Depending on the functionality, the location system can be designed differently, this include, for example, only one camera. However, a GPS system can also be provided to generate further data, as will be explained below.

According to a further embodiment of the device can be provided that are arranged in the region of the inlet mold spray nozzles. About these spray nozzles, a fluid can be delivered to the inlet area or sprayed on this, whereby the loading of wrapped in foil round bales can be done for this gentler. It thus reduces the risk of damage to the film when charging on the device or damage to the film avoided.

In the preferred embodiment, the spray nozzles are operatively connected to the lifting axes, so that the pressure for the ejection of a spray from the spray nozzles is provided by the lifting axes. Again, so that the design complexity of the device can be reduced. In addition, the energy consumption of the device can be reduced despite the additional functionality compared to a variant without the effective connection of the spray nozzles with the Hubachsen.

It can further be provided that the device has an automatic braking force regulator, which is controlled by the lifting axes. By the brake force regulator, as is well known, the driving safety of the device can be improved. By controlling the lifting axles, a simple system can be made available, as the weight of the load can be determined via the lifting axles. According to another embodiment variant of the device can be provided that this comprises a round bale turning device or that this comprises a towing vehicle on which a round bale turning device is arranged. It is thus possible that the round bales are taken in the direction of travel of a round baler, so that does not have to be driven across the furrow with the device. Thereby, the speed with which the device is loaded can be increased.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are given the same reference numerals or the same component designations, the disclosures contained throughout the description being applied mutatis mutandis to the same. che parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names can be transferred. Also, the position information selected in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and these position information in a change in position mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location.

FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of a device 1 for loading and transporting round bales 2. The device 1 can also be referred to as a loading and transporting vehicle. It is designed in particular in the form of a trailer for a towing vehicle, not shown, such as a tractor.

Round bales 2 are mainly round bales 2 from crops, such as hay bales, silage bales, grass bales, straw bales, etc. into consideration. The round bales 2 may also be maize bales, wooden bales, etc. Preference is given to the round bales 2 from harvested material, which are produced by conventional methods or with conventional machines, in particular round balers, using a harvesting binder yarn or a bale foil. Since this is known per se, reference is made to the relevant prior art.

The device 1 comprises a base frame 3, which is better seen in Fig. 3. The base frame 3 is cage-like and front and rear open. For this purpose, it has several in a longitudinal direction 4 of the device 1 successively arranged bracket 5 or arches. In the illustrated embodiment, the base frame 3 has four brackets 5. This number should not be understood as limiting, since fewer or more such bracket 5 may be present. The bracket 5 are approximately 8-corner-shaped in front view, wherein a lower portion 6 is formed open. But they can also have a different cross-sectional shape in front view, for example round or generally polygonal. Thus, the bracket 5 on two opposite ends. About these ends, the bracket 5 are connected to longitudinal frame parts 7, in particular welded, although other suitable connection methods can be applied, such as glands. The base frame 3 is particularly equipped with two such longitudinal frame members 7, wherein each one longitudinal frame part 7 is connected to one of the two ends of the bracket 5. The longitudinal frame parts 7 preferably extend continuously over the entire length of the base frame 3. In particular, be formed in one piece, but it is also possible that they are made of at least two interconnected, in particular welded, profile elements. The longitudinal frame parts 7 preferably form a lateral underrun protection of the device 1.

The cage-like configuration of the base frame is achieved by the spacing of the brackets 5 in the longitudinal direction 4. Preferably, the base frame has no side walls, so that it is so formed open throughout, as can be seen from Fig. 3. The term "continuously open" is thus to be understood in the sense of the cage-like design of the base frame 3.

The bracket 5 and the longitudinal frame parts 7 are preferably formed as profile tubes, for example with a round or square or polygonal cross-section. In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket 5 are formed as tubes with a rectangular cross-section. The longitudinal frame parts 7, however, are preferably formed with a round cross-section.

In principle, the bracket 5 and / or the longitudinal frame parts 7 but also from solid material profiles, so not hollow profiles or bar profiles, be made, but this is naturally associated with the same material used a corresponding increase in weight.

The base frame 3 is self-supporting. Preferably, the base frame 3 is constructed in a modular manner, wherein a module length in the longitudinal direction 4 of the device 1, for example, at least equal to the height of a round bale 2. The height of the round bale is defined as the dimension of the round bale 2 perpendicular to the round bale diameter. But it is also possible that at least some of the modules have a greater module length, in particular if between the brackets 5 additional braces are present, which prevent falling out of the round bale 2.

The two longitudinal frame parts 7, which are arranged on an underside 8 of the base frame 3, form a loading area for the round bales 2 in the longitudinal direction 4 of the device 1. This loading area is, after the two longitudinal frame parts 7 are arranged spaced apart in the horizontal direction, open continuously and forms a loading bed 9 for the round bale 2. The longitudinal frame parts 7 can therefore also be referred to as receiving elements for the round bale 2. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the two longitudinal frame parts 7 are arranged at the same height in the base frame 3 (with a flat support of the base frame 3).

At its front end, which is zuwendbar a towing vehicle, the longitudinal frame parts 7 on an inlet mold 10 for receiving the round bales 2. In the preferred embodiment variant, the inlet mold 10 is formed as a bend of the longitudinal frame parts 7, in particular by at least approximately 90 °. Expressed differently, therefore, the longitudinal frame parts 7 have an inlet contour. The inlet mold 10 is preferably formed integrally with the rest of the respective longitudinal frame part 7. But it is also possible that these bends are formed by separate pipe bends, which are connected to the longitudinal frame members 7, in particular welded, are. The bends can be arranged at the same height as the rest of the longitudinal frame parts 7. Preferably, however, they are formed at an angle extending upward to improve the sliding of the inlet mold 10 over the ground.

By this inlet mold 10, it is possible that the base frame 3 is spent for receiving a round bale 2 in the lowered state to below a round bale 2, so that the round bale 2 is absorbed by the lifting of the base frame 3 and thus charged.

In principle, other receptacles for charging a round bale 2 are possible, but the formation of the inlet mold 10 is the preferred embodiment of the device. 1

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, in the preferred embodiment of the device 1, such an inlet mold 10 can also be formed in the rear end of the base frame 2, ie in the rear end of the longitudinal frame parts 7. This inlet mold 10 may be formed like the front inlet mold 10, so that the above statements can be transferred to the rear inlet mold 10. Due to the rear inlet mold 10, it is optionally possible to apply round bales 2 not only from the front but also from the rear. the. In addition, the rear enema mold 10 facilitates the unloading of the charged round bales 2.

The two longitudinal frame parts 7 or receiving elements for the round bales 2 are arranged spaced apart in a horizontal direction, as has already been explained above. A distance 11 between the two longitudinal frame parts 7 is chosen so that the round bale 2 can be lifted with a wide variety of bale diameters without (mechanical) conversion of the device 1 and can be transported simultaneously if required. The distance 11 is defined by the smallest clear width between the two longitudinal frame parts 7 in the loading bed 9. For example, the distance may be about 840 mm. Conventional round bales 2, as produced with conventional round balers, can have a bale diameter in the order of 90 cm to 220 cm.

To connect the base frame 3 with a towing vehicle, a drawbar is arranged on the base frame 3. The drawbar can in principle be arranged as shown in DE 25 53 438 AI, laterally (right or left) on the base frame 3.

In the preferred embodiment of the device 1, however, the drawbar is designed as a pivoting drawbar 12, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 1. The swivel drawbar 12 is at the top of the base frame 3 at least approximately centrally (viewed in plan view of the device 1), in particular centrally arranged. For this purpose, a platform 13 can be arranged between two brackets 5, which is in particular connected to the brackets 5. The platform 13 may be, for example, a sheet. The swivel drawbar 12 has a first leg 14, at the front end of an eye 15 is formed or arranged. About this eye 15, the device can be attached directly to the trailer device of a towing vehicle or at the three-point of a towing vehicle in a known manner. The first leg 14 is arranged in particular at least approximately horizontally.

At the, opposite the eye 15, rear end of the first leg 14, a second leg 16 is arranged, which is connected to the first leg 14. This second leg 16 is arranged at least approximately perpendicular. The connection of the first leg 15 with the second leg 16 is preferably carried out via a rotary joint 17, via which a height compensation between the height of the eye 15 and the height of the trailer hitch of a towing vehicle can be created. With the second leg 16, in turn, a third leg 18 is connected. This third leg 18 is arranged obliquely to the second leg 16 extending.

At the rear end of the third leg 18, that is, at the opposite end of the third leg 18 to the connection with the second leg 16, a fourth leg 19 is arranged, which is connected to the third leg 18. This fourth leg is arranged at the top of the base frame 3 and connected thereto.

The legs 14, 16, 18 and 19 may consist of one or more profile elements, as shown in Fig. 1. It is also possible that the third and the fourth leg 18, 19 are integrally formed, so that the fourth leg 19 is rigidly connected to the third leg 18. Likewise, the second leg 16 may be rigidly connected to the third leg 18.

In principle, another embodiment of the swivel drawbar 12 is possible by this example, only the two at least approximately horizontal legs 14 and 19, which are connected to the second, horizontal leg 16 with each other. However, the above four-limbed embodiment variant has the advantage that an additional round bale 2 can be received and transported, which is received in the inlet region of the loading bed 9, ie in the region of the inlet mold 10, and remains there for transport. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 1, the described preferred embodiment of the swivel drawbar 12 can form a load securing or transport protection for this round bale 2 against its sliding down from the inlet mold during transport. The swivel drawbar 12 is pivotally mounted on the base frame 3 and connected thereto. For this purpose, in the simplest case, a vertically extending rotary or

Swivel joint, for example in the form of a vertically extending pivot pin, be provided. The pivot pin can be connected to the fourth leg and inserted into an outlet. recess in the base frame 3, in particular in the platform 13 engage. It is also possible that the pivot pin on the base frame 3, in particular the platform 13, is fixed, and the fourth leg 19 at the rear end also has an eye into which engages the pivot pin.

In the preferred embodiment of the device, however, the pivoting drawbar 12 is mounted on a slewing ring 20. The turntable 20 is on top of the base frame 3, in particular the platform 13, arranged or connected thereto. The platform 13 may also form part of the turntable 20.

The turntable 20 may be formed according to the relevant state of the art for this purpose. Preferably, however, the turntable 20 has a running plate 21, which may be formed for example by the platform 13, on which at least one roller 22 is supported, as shown schematically in Fig. 4. In Fig. 4, two rollers 22 are shown, but this number should not be understood as limiting.

Above the at least one roller 22, a further running plate 21 may be arranged, which is connected to the pivoting drawbar 12, for example, welded or screwed. But it is also possible that the at least one roller 22 is integrated in the rear end of the fourth leg 19 or mounted on this, so that it is possible to dispense with the further running plate 21.

About the pivotal mounting of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12, this can be swung from a transport position, which is shown in Fig. 1, in a loading position, which is shown in Fig. 2, so that the towing vehicle next to the inlet mold 10 and thus adjacent the loading bed is 9 (viewed in the direction of travel of the towing vehicle). Thus, the inlet mold 10 for receiving a round bale 2 is freely accessible and can be charged by the forward driving of the device 1 due to the tensile force of the tractor. For the transport of round bales on a road, the swivel drawbar 12 is pivoted back into the transport position (pivoted) so that it is so again in the middle and the device 1 can be pulled behind the tractor like a normal trailer. For loading a round bale 2 is proceed that the longitudinal frame parts 7, and thus the entire base frame 3, at least partially from a driving position in which the longitudinal frame parts are arranged spaced from the ground, as shown in Fig. 1, in a Receiving position for the round bale 2, in which at least a part of the longitudinal frame parts 7 are arranged resting at least approximately on the ground, as shown in Fig. 2, are adjustable. For this purpose, the device 1 on a hoist.

The lifting mechanism comprises first lifting axles 23. These first lifting axles 23 act on the relative position of wheels 24 relative to the base frame 3. At least one first lifting axle 23 is arranged on each of the left and right sides of the base frame 3. The at least two first Hubachsen 23 can be controlled together or separately.

The device 1 has at least two wheels 24, one each right and one left of the base frame 3. It can also be more than two wheels 24, for example, twin wheels or two or more wheels 24 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel.

The wheels 24 are not arranged on a common axis, but each of the at least two wheels 24 is arranged on a stub axle. The stub axles are supported by pivot members 24a. The pusher elements 24a, in particular profile elements, are in turn pivotally connected via a pivot axis 25 with a pivot element receptacle 26, which in turn rigidly connected to the base frame 3, in particular with a bracket 5, in particular welded or screwed. About the pivot member 24, it is possible that the wheels 24 in the vertical direction relative to the base frame 3, or vice versa, are adjusted.

The stub axles can be welded on. Preferably, however, they are screwed on, whereby a cost-effective upgrade of the device 1 of unbraked wheels 24 on braked wheels 24 is possible. In addition, a conversion to wide tires is thus easier to carry out. It is also easier in this way to change the permissible maximum speed of the device 1 from, for example, 10 km / h to, for example, 40 km / h by exchanging the axle stubs and / or installing a (different) brake system. For this adjustment, the first Hubachsen 23 are responsible. The Hubachsen 23 are preferably formed as a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic oil supply of the hydraulic cylinder, or in general of each hydraulic component of the device 1, can take place via the towing vehicle or via its own hydraulic treatment 27 of the device 1. By extending the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinder, the base frame 3 is raised to the transport position or vice versa, the base frame 3 is lowered by retracting the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinder in the loading position.

The first lifting axles 23 are rotatably connected both to the pivoting element 24a and to the base part 3. For this purpose, the first Hubachsen 23 may have corresponding eyes at their ends. For attachment to the base frame 3, this may comprise further longitudinal frame parts 28 above the longitudinal frame parts 7, which in particular may again be formed by hollow profiles, and which are rigidly connected to the brackets 5. In particular, these further longitudinal frame parts 28 are designed in several parts, one part each being arranged between two brackets 5 arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction 4 of the device 1, as shown for example in FIG. In these further longitudinal frame parts 28, a plurality of bores of the longitudinal direction 4 of the device 1 can be arranged one behind the other for receiving the first lifting axles, so that different stroke variants or force variants can be realized in a simple manner in the device 1 by simply repositioning the first lifting axles 23.

The hoist of the device 1 may further comprise at least a second lifting axis 29, which is arranged on the swivel drawbar 12, in particular between the first leg 14 and the third leg 18, as shown in Fig. 1. The second lifting axis 29 is also preferably a hydraulic cylinder. The connection of the second

Lifting axis can be carried out according to the comments on the first stroke axis 23 with respect to the rotational mobility. Depending on the position of the piston of the hydraulic cylinder, the front region of the device 1 for charging a round bale 2 can be lowered or raised via this second lifting axis 29.

It is thus possible with the device 1 for charging a round bale 2, lower the entire base frame 3 at ground level or lower the base frame 3 only in the front area, so that the base frame 3 in this variant runs obliquely to the ground level. In other words, two or more lifting axles 23, 29 are arranged on axes of rotation about which the lifting / lowering movement of the base frame 3 and thus the longitudinal frame parts 7 can be performed variably, so that the longitudinal frame parts 7 at least partially spent from the transport position to the loading position can be. The lifting / lowering movement is preferably interruptible in all positions and again introduced feasible.

In addition, the control of the device 1 may be designed so that the pivoting of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12, simultaneously or separately or combined with the lifting / lowering movement of the base frame 3 is feasible.

In Fig. 5 is a detail of another embodiment of the device 1 in front view, as viewed from the tractor, shown. In this embodiment variant of the device 1, at least one strip-shaped element 30 is projectingly arranged on the longitudinal frame parts 7 in the direction of the open loading bed 9 between the longitudinal frame parts 7. These strip-shaped elements 30 extend over at least a majority of the loading bed 9. In particular, they may extend from the front inlet mold 10 to the rear inlet mold 10 (FIG. 3). In principle, the strip-shaped elements 30 may have any suitable cross-sectional shape, but preferably they have a cross-sectional shape - viewed in the direction of the longitudinal direction 4 (FIG. 3) of the device 1 - which tapers in the direction of the open loading bed 9, as shown in FIG 5 can be seen. The strip-shaped elements 30 may be formed as sheets or corresponding profile elements. By these strip-shaped elements, the portability of round bales 2 can be improved with different bale diameters.

6 shows a detail of another embodiment variant of the device 1. Shown is the plan view of the turntable 20 with the swivel bend drawbar 12 arranged thereon. In this embodiment variant, the swivel bend drawbar 12 has an automatic transport lock 31. In principle, a dartige automatic transport lock 31 can also be provided in a laterally arranged drawbar according to DE 25 53 438 AI.

The automatic transport lock 31 is preferably formed purely mechanically. For this purpose, according to a further embodiment of the device 1, a slotted guide 32nd be provided. This slide guide 32 may have a sheet metal blank, which is rigidly connected to the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12. In this sheet metal blank, a guide slot 33 may be formed. The guide slot 33 may have a bend 34 formed in an end portion of the guide slot 32 closest to the drawbar. Guided by the pivoting of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12, by engaging in this bend 34, a guide mandrel guided in the guide slot 33 thus automatically establishes a type of locking which counteracts unintentional pivoting of the drawbar while driving. The guide pin can be arranged on a support 35, which in turn can be connected to the base frame 3. The transport position of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12 can be locked automatically for transporting this transport lock 31 during pivoting of the drawbar.

The release of the transport lock 31 can be done manually, for example via a rope or a linkage.

In Fig. 2 it is shown that according to a further embodiment of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12, a load securing 36 are arranged and can be connected to this. This load safety device 36, which may be formed as a simple bracket and a first leg and one angularly projecting, in particular protruding at 90 ⁰ , may have second leg engages under a pivoted drawbar, so in particular the pivoting drawbar 12 in the central transport position, the additional round bales 2, which can be transported in the region of the inlet mold 10 (FIG. 3) as described above. Thus, the load fuse 36 additionally supports this additional round bale 2. In addition, the additional round bale 2 with the load securing device 36 can also be raised when the base frame is brought into the transport position.

There is also the option that another round bale 2 can be transported additionally. This is received and transported in the rear region of the base frame 3, ie in the region of the rear intake mold 10. For this purpose, according to further embodiments of the device 1, at the rear end of the base frame 3, a pivotable tailgate 37, as shown in Fig. 2, and / or an additional bracket 38 per Längsrahmen- part 7, as shown in Fig. 7, be arranged. The additional bracket 38 may be designed to be inserted into the respective longitudinal frame part 7. In particular, the bracket 38 may be formed partially annular, as shown in Fig. 7. The tailgate 37 preferably forms a rear impact protection of the device 1.

Such a bracket 38 can also be brought to the front intake mold, as can be seen in FIG. Furthermore, it can be seen from FIG. 1 that the bracket 38 can not only be designed to be plugged on, but that it is received in the respective longitudinal frame parts 7 in a lateral recess, from which it is displaced from a rest position into its position of use and, if necessary, inwards can be pivoted (indicated in Fig. 1 by the representation of two brackets 38 on the left longitudinal frame part 7).

The pivotable tailgate 37, which may also be the carrier for a license plate or the taillights at the same time, via two support rods 39, which may optionally be telescopically extendable, be attached to the base frame 3, wherein for the pivoting of the tailgate 37 from an upper in a lower position and vice versa, additional Hubachsen 40, in particular hydraulic cylinders, arranged and rotatably connected to the support rods 39 on the one hand and with the base frame 3 on the other hand. The tailgate 37 provides protection against the falling off of the round bale 2, which is loaded directly in front of the tailgate 37.

Instead of a pivotable tailgate 37 may also be arranged only an extendable tailgate 37. For this purpose, the holding rods 39 on or in the base frame 3 can be arranged correspondingly extendable. The support rods 39 may, but need not, be telescopic.

According to a further embodiment of the device can be provided that in the region of the inlet mold 10 spray nozzles 41 are arranged, as can be seen from Fig. 3. About these spray nozzles 41, a lubricant for the round bale 2, in particular a wrapping film, are wrapped with the round bale 2, applied to the inlet mold 10 or sprayed to facilitate the sliding of the round bale 2 in the loading bed 9. As a spray, for example, water or a soapy water can be used. such Spray nozzles can also be arranged on the rear inlet mold 10. In addition, a plurality of spray nozzles can also be arranged distributed over the at least one partial region of the length or the entire length of the longitudinal frame parts 7 defining the loading bed 9. The spray can be kept in stock in a corresponding tank, which is not shown in the figures. The spray can be conveyed to and ejected from the spray nozzles 41 by applying a corresponding pressure.

According to one embodiment variant, provision can be made for the spray nozzles 41 to be in operative connection with at least one of the lifting axes, in particular at least one of the first lifting axes 23, so that the pressure required for the ejection of a spraying agent from the spraying nozzles 41 is determined by the lifting axes provided. The active compound can be prepared via appropriate lines and the spray tank. By lowering the base frame 3 and thus retracting the cylinder rod into the cylinder of the hydraulic cylinder of the first lifting axle 23, pressure is reduced which can be used for the ejection of the spray agent. In addition, it is achieved by this construction that with the beginning of the charging of a round bale, ie with the at least partially lowering the base frame 3, the lubricant is sprayed at least on the inlet mold 10 automatically without further control required. However, it is also possible to provide appropriate control for the ejection of the spray, i. when to be sprayed. For example, the presence of a (wrapped) round bale 2 can be detected via a camera and / or the contact with the ground of the base frame 3 can be decoded via a feeler element (for example a feeler wheel or a feeler carriage). Other suitable electronic sensors are also usable. In addition, the ejection of the spray and the duration of the spraying can be controlled as a function of the ambient temperature, for which purpose a temperature sensor can also be arranged on the device 1. It can thus be triggered, for example, only at higher temperatures (for example, from 30 ° C) of the spraying. By spraying the inlet mold 10 or the longitudinal frame parts 7 with the spraying means, a corresponding protection of the wrapping film when pushing the round bales on the loading bed 9 can be achieved.

Preferably, each of the first lifting axles 23 and / or the at least one lifting axle 29 is designed to be hydraulically damped. For this purpose, according to a first embodiment variant of the hydraulic The first lifting axles 23, the hydraulic cylinders of these lifting axles 23, 29, are each connected to a further hydraulic cylinder, wherein the connection of the two hydraulic cylinders takes place head to head, whereby a hydraulic cylinder combination results. The lower hydraulic cylinder is formed by one of the first lifting axles 23 or the lifting axle 29. These are as described for the raising and lowering of the base frame 3 responsible. The upper wrong installed hydraulic cylinder of this hydraulic cylinder combination has a filling connection for the hydraulic fluid, via which a basic setting is achieved. In addition, the filling connection is connected to a storage container for a fluid, in particular nitrogen. The hydraulic cylinder combination has an upper and a lower eye in order to be able to produce the rotationally movable connection to the respective components of the device 1 as described above.

Instead of using a second hydraulic cylinder, the damping can also be achieved by the use of a prestressed spring, in particular a helical spring, which is arranged between the upper eye and the lifting axle 23 and / or 29 arranged underneath.

By way of the basic setting or the selected spring preload or generally the selected spring, it is also possible to detect a weight-related overloading of the device 1 when the preset values are exceeded. The basic setting refers to the weight of the vehicle plus a permitted load on round bales 2.

In these two embodiments described is advantageous that they are wear-free or at least approximately wear-free.

Next arises between the upper eye or the upper edge of the spring and the upper edge of the lower hydraulic cylinder depending on the load a different stroke. About this hub in the region of the first lifting axles 23, according to a further embodiment of the device, an automatic braking force regulator can be controlled, for example via a rope or a rod.

According to a further embodiment variant of the device 1, it can be provided that a locating system 42 for locating or searching for the round bales is arranged thereon, For example, on top of the base frame 3, as shown in Fig. 1. The locating system 42 can be, for example, one or the above-mentioned camera with which the round bales 2 lying on the field or the meadow can be recognized. Once the location system 42 has detected a round bale, from this a control command can be issued to a controller. The controller can then automatically initiate the pivoting movement of the drawbar, in particular the pivoting drawbar 12, and / or the lowering movement of the base frame 3. Once the round bale 2 is charged, and thus comes out of the field of view of the camera, the lifting movement of the first lifting axles 23 and / or the lifting axle 29 can be automatically initiated in the same manner, so that the driver of the towing vehicle exclusively on driving or approaching can concentrate on the usually scattered, so not ranked round bale 2.

Instead of or in addition to at least one camera, other suitable systems may be used.

But it is also possible that the positioning system 42 additionally or alternatively to at least one camera includes or is formed by a GPS system. In this case, as in the embodiment with the camera, the round bale 2 to be loaded can be searched. It is advantageous if, for example, the winding machine on the individual round bale 2 already leaves a unique identifier, for example, imprints. Alternatively or additionally, the device 1 can also have a pressure element with which such an identifier is printed on the round bales 2, for example a bar code, so that a clear assignment of the round bales 2 to a specific field, for example, is possible. In addition to the control of the lifting / lowering movement of the base frame 3 and optionally the pivoting of the drawbar from the driving position into the loading position, data about the respective round bale 2 itself can also be generated via the locating system 41. For example, the round bale diameter, the shape of the round bale 2 (round, oval, how strongly oval, etc.), the type of round bale material (hay, straw, silage, etc.), the origin of the round bale 2 (which field, which meadow, etc.), speed of the device 1, path of the device 1, etc. are recorded. By way of data on material and origin, for example, subsequently the feed composition for the animals can be adapted, since it is possible to deduce the origin of the round bale 2 on its nutrient content; this was once determined by a sample for each field or meadow. It can thus be addressed more specifically to the needs of individual animals by, for example, only certain round bales 2 are fed from a round bale of different round bales 2 to these animals. Likewise, the required fertilization for a field or a meadow can be better tuned by a subsequent analysis of the round bale material. By the subsequent unambiguous assignability of a round bale 2 to a specific meadow or a specific field, the fertilizer composition for this meadow or this field can be determined on the basis of the analysis data.

It is also possible that by means of the device 1 data on the moisture of the round bale 2 are generated, for example via a moisture sensor, and / or mold on the round bale 2 is detected, which can occur when the round bales 2 are long in the field before they are introduced. The mold recognition can take place, for example, with one or the aforementioned camera, e.g. about grayscale evaluation.

Via the path recording an optimization of the charging paths can be carried out. If the position of the round bale 2 is already known before loading, an optimized loading route can be specified. It is also possible by means of the route recording to allocate the round bales 2 to certain owners from a community or to create an (automatic) billing system when the round bales 2 are collected by a third party, such as the machine ring. By Wegaufzeichnung can thus better calculated for a particular owner certain round bales 2 from a community of owners from a total of round bales 2 incurred effort.

It is also a soil-gentle keying on the pivoting drawbar 12 possible by these sensors or (the above) sensing elements, which are optionally mounted on wheels (sensing wheels) or carriages (Tastschlitten) are or are formed by, are provided, the Detect distance to the ground and / or the distance to the respective round bale 2, so that the at least partial lowering of the base frame takes place as late as possible. On the other hand, it is alternatively or additionally possible for the lowering movement of the base frame 3 to be controlled by means of these sensors or feeler elements, since the lowering movement of the base frame 3 is subordinate to the recognition of the ground contact. Broken or slowed down. Alternatively or additionally, a proximity sensor can be provided, via which the approach of the base frame 3 to the ground is detected and the speed of the lowering movement of the base frame 3 is controlled in dependence on the distance of the base frame 3 from the ground.

With the at least one camera and the data generated by the camera, it is even possible for the device 1 together with the towing vehicle to be completely autonomous, i. to be operated without a driver. With the camera but also pictures of the recording location of a round bale 2 can be stored for later purposes.

Further, based on the data for overcharging the device, as stated above, it is possible to subsequently be able to deduce the location and time of defect initiation by overcharge when defects on the device 1 appear. The overcharge i. the overload can be carried out, for example, by means of the abovementioned (hydraulic) damping of the first lifting axles 23, and e.g. be detected by an inductive sensor, which detects the exceeding of the permissible weight according to the basic setting.

The location system 42 can also be used so that the driver of the towing vehicle of the device 1 is limited to e.g. 1 m to the respective round bale 2 approaches and then switches to automatic search. In general, the location system 42 can be used to improve a damage-free picking up of the round bales 2 optionally wrapped with a film.

By means of the location system 42 it is also possible to carry out an automatic billing with a pay loader by recording the number of round bales 2 introduced.

According to a further embodiment variant of the device 1 it can be provided that the device 1 comprises a round bale turning device 43, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, which the round bale rotating device 43 in the approaching position (FIG. position (FIG. 9) and in the finished rotated position (FIG. 10). Normally, the round bales 3 are deposited by the round baler in the direction of arable cultivation or meadow processing. The round bales 2 are then taken up without the round bale turning device 43 in a direction which is approximately perpendicular to the direction of storage of the round bales 2. Thus, one must drive with the device 1 over the furrows to accommodate the round bale 2, whereby the speed of receiving the round bale 2 is reduced. By means of the round bale rotating means 43 it is now possible to rotate the round bale 2 to at least approximately 90 ^0, so that the round bale can be picked up in the direction of the field processing 2 of the device 1 and are thus not driven with the device 1 across the furrows got to.

The round bale turning device 43 may include a holding member 44 and a rotating member 45. The round bale turning device 43 can be fastened to the device 1 or alternatively to a towing vehicle, such as a tractor, via the retaining element 44. The arrangement of the holding element 1 can be done for example on the drawbar of the device 1 or on the front side, for example, the front hitch, the towing vehicle or in the region of the rear hitch of the towing vehicle. If desired, the round bale turning device 43 can be connected to the hydraulic system of the towing vehicle or the device 1.

If appropriate, the holding element 44 can be designed to extend (telescope) in order to achieve a lateral adjustment of the rotary element 45. It is also possible to design the retaining element 44 to be height-adjustable or to be arranged on the device 1 or the towing vehicle.

The holding element 44 may be formed, for example, by a (hollow) tube.

The rotary element 45 is connected to the holding element 44 via a rotation axis 46. For example, the rotary element 45 may be a bent tube element or a curved plate, which in plan view has approximately the contour of wings, as can be seen from FIGS. 8 to 10. The axis of rotation 46 is in particular arranged centrally between a first wing element 47 and a second wing element 48. In the starting position (FIG. 8), the round bale 2 in particular comes into contact with the second wing element 48. As a result, the rotating element is rotated by the further forward movement of the device 1 or of the towing vehicle, so that the round bale 2 begins over the first wing element 47 rotate (Fig. 9). As soon as the round bale 2 has been completely turned (FIG. 10), it is released from the second wing element 48 by the further forward movement of the device 1 or of the towing vehicle, thus terminating its rotary movement.

For the provision of the round bale turning device 43 in the starting position can be arranged between the holding member 44 and the first wing member 47, a tension spring 49 which spans by the rotation of the rotary member 45 so that the return can be done via the voltage. Alternatively it can also be provided at least one hydraulic cylinder, which makes the provision.

Preferably, the axis of rotation 46 comprises a torsion bar spring.

The operation of the device 1 can be done so that the drawbar, in particular the

Schwenkknickdeichsel 12, is pivoted into the loading position as soon as the device 1 is ready for loading. Thereafter, the round bales 2 to be charged are started up in order and in particular pushed onto the loading bed 9 from the front. For the rides between the round bales 2, the loading bed 9 is raised again in the driving position. Once the loading bed 9 with the desired number of round bales 2 - it can be transported up to eight round bales 2 at the same time, this number is dependent on the Highway Code and thus country-specific may be larger or smaller -charged, the drawbar, especially the Schwenkknickdeichsel 12, pivoted into the transport position and the round bales 2 transported to the respective unloading. There they are then unloaded to the rear by driving forward the device, including in particular the base frame 3 can be lowered to the rear. If necessary, the lowering can be done so far that the round bales can be set up. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the base frame 3 is raised with the drawbar, in particular the swivel drawbar 12, at the front, ie in the region of the towing vehicle, in particular by means of the lifting axis 29. In one embodiment, the pivoting drawbar after each pushing a round bale 2 on the loading bed 9 is pivoted back into the driving position, whereby the respective last round bale 2 is lifted via the load securing 36 of the pivoting drawbar 12 without further displacement of the round bale 2.

It is possible with the device 1 to carry out the loading and unloading time-quickly in the direction of travel. The unloading takes place quickly in the direction of travel in series, in the wrong order of loading or set up individually or as a row, which stacking the round bales one above the other can save stacking time. For unloading the tailgate 37 can be folded up.

To turn off the device 1, this can be brought into the loading position of the base frame 3 and thus the wheels 24 are relieved.
