Description
Technological sector of the Utility Model [001] This Utility Model pertains to the agricultural accessories sector, and refers more specifically to a lateral reinforcement support that is bolted to the main chassis of agricultural planters, with the aim of stabilizing the structure and preventing the breakage of the connecting elements. State of the Art [002] The rupture of the main chassis clamps on agricultural planters is a frequent problem that compromises the durability and efficiency of this equipment. This failure occurs due to the intense forces and vibrations to which the planters are subjected during field operation. Solutions such as lateral reinforcement welding have proven ineffective, since, despite increasing resistance at specific points, they do not solve the fundamental issue of uneven stress distribution, which continues to cause ruptures in other parts of the structure. To avoid the rupture of the clamps and other chassis components, it is necessary to adequately stabilize the center of the planter structure. This involves ensuring that the forces applied during operation are distributed uniformly, minimizing the localized stress that leads to clamp failure. Without this central stabilization, any palliative solution, such as lateral reinforcements, will be insufficient, as the underlying problem is not addressed, resulting in recurring failures and operational losses. Utility Model Updates [003] In this context, the implementation of a support that stabilizes and reinforces the main chassis of agricultural planters offers several significant advantages. Firstly, this support ensures the structural integrity of the chassis, preventing the rupture of the connecting elements, even under the intense forces and vibrations during operation. Furthermore, it does not compromise the existing structure, which has several bolted elements, ensuring that all connections remain firm and functional. [004] Another crucial benefit is the possibility of adding a piston at the end of the support to apply negative pressure, which is particularly advantageous on sloping terrain. This addition helps to keep the seeds firmly in the soil, preventing them from being exposed or outside the planting row, which can occur in uneven terrain conditions. In short, the support not only improves the durability of the chassis, but also optimizes the planter's performance, ensuring more efficient and uniform sowing. Description of the attached figures [005] In order that the present invention may be fully understood and put into practice by any technician in this technological sector, it will be described in a clear, concise and sufficient manner, based on the attached figures, which illustrate and support it, listed below: Figure 1 represents a rear perspective view of the support; Figure 2 represents a bottom perspective view of the support; Figure 3 represents a photograph of a clamp with a break in the chassis; Figure 4 represents a photograph of a clamp with a break; Figure 5 represents a photograph of a main chassis provided with a side support. Detailed description of the Utility Model [006] The support (SP) is installed on the sides of the chassis and consists of two mirrored plates (1) joined by a connecting wall (2) located at the base (3) and elevation (4), having transversely a coupling structure (5) provided with holes (6) and with a rectangular shape; having at the upper (7) and lower (8) ends of the plates a hole for inserting pins (9) that connect a pneumatic piston; and a hole (10) for inserting a safety lock (11). [007] With the support (SP) installed on the sides of the chassis, greater stability is created in the agricultural implement, so that abrupt ruptures in the clamps (AB) do not occur, especially. [008] It is important to emphasize that the figures and descriptions provided do not limit the ways in which the inventive concept now proposed can be implemented, but rather illustrate and make understandable the conceptual innovations revealed in this solution. Thus, the descriptions and images should be interpreted in an illustrative and not limiting way, and there may be other equivalent or analogous ways of implementing the inventive concept now revealed that do not fall outside the scope of protection outlined in the proposed solution.
