Abstract

The invention relates to devices for spreading liquid manure, wherein a liquid manure sensor (8) determines the constituents of the liquid manure (G) to be spread and an evaluating unit (10) compares the determined values with predefined constituent data. The quantity of liquid manure (G) to be spread per area unit is calculated based on the result of the comparison. According to the result of the comparison an adjustable valve (6) actuates a distributor device (7) accordingly, by means of which the calculated quantity of liquid manure (G) is spread onto the field.

Claims

1. A device for optimizing the application of liquid manure onto ground to be fertilized comprising:

a liquid manure tank;

in which;

a sensor arranged in the tank for the analysis of the liquid manure to be applied;

an evaluating device for comparing the actual data on the liquid manure obtained analytically by the sensor with predefined constituent data;

an adjustable device;

a connection arranged between the evaluating device, and the adjustable device, which permits the amount of liquid manure to be applied to be varied, wherein the adjustable device receives via the connection comparison data on the liquid manure from the evaluating device;

a distributor device, wherein the adjustable device is connected to the distributor device and regulates the latter, such that the amount of liquid manure to be applied per area unit can be adjusted;

a reservoir for retaining the liquid manure; and

a removal line system for removing the liquid manure out of the reservoir, the sensor being arranged in the removal line system.

3. The device according to claim 1, comprising a pump for facilitating removal of the liquid manure from the reservoir.

4. The device according to claim 1, whereby a vacuum is provided to remove the liquid manure from the reservoir and to facilitate its flow into the liquid manure tank.

11. The device according to claim 1, whereby the actual data on the constituents obtained analytically by the sensor can be transmitted via a connection in the form of a connection line or wirelessly to the evaluating device.

12. The device according to claim 1, whereby the control data determined by the evaluating device can be transmitted via a connection in the form of a connection line or wirelessly to the adjustable device respective to the distributor device.

2. The device for optimizing the application amount of constituents contained in liquid manure onto ground to be fertilized, by means of a liquid manure tank vehicle, in which a sensor is provided for the analysis of the liquid manure to be applied with respect to its constituents, wherein an evaluating device is provided for comparing the actual data on the constituents obtained analytically by the sensor with predefined constituent data, wherein there is a connection between the evaluating device and an adjustable device, by means of which the amount of liquid manure to be applied can be varied, wherein the adjustable device receives via the connection comparison data on the constituent data from the evaluating device and wherein the adjustable device is connected to a distributor device and regulates the latter, such that the amount of liquid manure to be applied per area unit can be adjusted, whereby decanting the liquid manure from a reservoir into a liquid manure vehicle a decanting line system is provided and in that the sensor is arranged in the decanting line system.

5. The device according to claim 2, comprising a mobile pump to decant the liquid manure into a liquid manure vehicle.

6. The device according to claim 5, whereby decanting the liquid manure into a liquid manure vehicle a mobile pump station is provided.

7. The device according to claim 2, whereby the actual data on the constituents obtained analytically by the sensor can be transmitted via a connection in the form of a connection line or wirelessly to the evaluating device.

8. The device according to claim 2, whereby the control data determined by the evaluating device can be transmitted via a connection in the form of a connection line or wirelessly to the adjustable device respective to the distributor device.

9. The device according to claim 7, wherein the connection line is an electrical or optical data line.

10. The device according to claim 7, wherein the wireless connection can be made via mobile phone, data radio, infrared, Bluetooth or the like.

13. The device according to claim 8, wherein the connection line is an electrical or optical data line.
