- the two ends of the cable have means for blocking the cable so that it cannot slip out of the rings during the treatment of the soil
- the various links being independent elements fixed on the carpet and a flexible cable being used, the removable articulation is flexible and the carpet can adapt to deformation of the ground
- FIG. 14 makes it possible to view a device comprising means making it possible to unfold and / or raise the carpet.
- the device is in the process of unloading the cores, the device having been raised and moved in reverse. The carpet is therefore folded back. and part of it is therefore under the coring tools It is therefore understandable that if the operator lowers the device at this time, the belt risks being damaged by the tools
- a sensor is therefore provided which warns the user and / or prevents the device from lowering when the belt is folded under the tools.
- the sensor is preferably an optical sensor placed substantially in the tool area and oriented towards the bottom
- the carpet is made of a natural color material or in black or painted or colored in such a way that it has a very strong contrast with the ground.
- the carpet can receive a fluff of red or yellow fluorescent paint which is very different from a usual herbaceous soil.
- the sensor can include a filter centered on the color of the carpet to be detected
- a second mode there are active means allowing the minimum to spread the carpet.
- These means are at least one cable 26 and an axis 27 secured to the frame.
- the cable which is fixed towards the rear end of the carpet 2 is also secured. from the rear end of the axle by a fixed fixing in the case where the cable is of constant length or by a means of couhss or winding, for example return or pou l ie, in case the length of the cable between the attachment point to the mat and the end of the axis can be shortened or lengthened by a command
- the axis 27 can also be fixed or be movable in rotation in order to allow the spreading of the carpet as well as its lifting.
- This axis can also be common with a scanning device towed with the device and arranged behind the carpet.
- the axis 27 can be unique, for example a fork integral on both sides of the frame. or a simple axis s olidaire at a midpoint of the frame or, again, implemented in pairs
- two axes 27 are implemented arranged laterally and two cables are fixed to the two rear and side ends of the mat as shown in Figure 1 4
- the device as just described can use a flexible mat for each of the three parts. It is also envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention that one or more of the parts be rigid, the reception being a totally rigid platform or being a combination of rigid and flexible members
- the front and intermediate parts are rigid and the rear part flexible or, again, the front part is rigid and the intermediate and rear parts are flexible
- the bands NNT 20 ECDV, NAK 12 EHDV, FAF 12 E from the company HABASIT France SA, articulated by staples called "al ligator", the corrugated edges intended to contain the carrots being made of rubber and of a height of approximately 80 mm
- the present invention can be used in various methods of treating herbaceous soils consisting in performing aeration then spreading sand and distributing it so that it fills the coring holes.
- the present invention is also usable according to a process in which the aeration, collection and disposal of the carrots is carried out simultaneously during the same passage
- the present invention can still be used according to a new process in which the aeration, collection, elimination cores and the filling of the coring holes with sand are carried out simultaneously during the same passage
- the invention makes it possible to sandblast before coring and collecting, imitating it with two or even one, the passage of gear Sandblasting in before can be carried out by any means In general, sand is spread over a substantially uniform thickness.
- sand spreading may be done by means of pipes connected to a reserve of sand and opening approximately in front of the hollow ladles, for example in the manner of sandblasting devices used in railways
- the pipes open slightly laterally with respect to the ouches so that the coring takes place in an unsanded area thus reducing wear and the consumption of sand
- the conduits then passing through the belt or the plateau
- the presence of rafters guiding the sand downstream towards the holes also allows a substantial saving of sand II is also possible to use behind the storage device of the invention, a conventional brush for distributing the sand.
- sanding is carried out during a first pass before coring So in two passes, it is possible to treat the soil, unlike conventional techniques where at least three passes were necessary to aerate then recover the carrots and finally apply and distribute the sand the number of passages being reduced, the deformations of the ground under the effect of the machines are also reduced
- the present invention can thus be used in various methods of treating herbaceous soils and, for example, according to a method in which the aeration, collection, removal of the carrots and filling of the coring holes with sand are carried out simultaneously during the same passage, a brush being disposed behind the device for sweeping the sand
