AUTOMATIC soxL CORING MACHINE Filed April 24, 1951 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENT OR ALMQND D.BULL@ ATTORNEY United States Patent AUTOMATIC SOIL CORHIG MACHINE Almond D. Bull, Woodward, Okla.
Application April 24, 1951, Serial No. 222,725
4 Claims. (Cl. 255-1.4)
(Granted under Title 35, U. S. Code (1952), sec. 266) The invention herein described may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes throughout the world without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to a power-driven machine to be used in making rapid soil profile examinations. It particularly relates to an apparatus which presses a soil coring tube into the ground and brings out a core specimen of the soil profile.
One object of this invention is the employment of a coring tube having an open side, or longitudinal opening, through which the unaltered soil profile can be observed without removal from the tube.
Another object is to press the tube into the soil without any twisting action or vibration in order that an open face tube of this kind can be employed.
A further object is to provide a soil coring apparatus that automatically limits the downward movement of the colging tube, to control the depth of the core sample ta en.
A still further object is to provide a soil coring apparatus that automatically limits the extent of upward movement of the coring tube.
One embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an assembled view of the apparatus;
Figure 2 is a side view of the apparatus of Figure l, in the plane 2--2;
Figure 3 is a section in the plane 3-3;
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of the lower end of the coring tube;
Figure 5 is a diagram of an electric battery powered circuit and switches for starting, stopping, and reversing the electric motor that moves the coring tube;
Figure 6 is a detail of the clutch mechanism forming part of the power-takeofl from the electric motor.
The apparatus is primarily designed to be mounted upon a motor-propelled car or truck, the coring tube extending downwardly through the floorboard. It may be used on a tractor or operated as an auxiliary self-propelled unit.
The cylindrical coring tube 76 is provided with a longitudinal opening or open face 761 (Figure 1) through which the specimen core may be examined. To the lower end of the tube is attached a soil coring point 49 provided with a short cylindrical section 491 of the same inside diameter as cutting edge of soil coring point 49 and parallel to the longitudinal axis of soil coring tube 76 and from this point upward provided with an upwardly flaring conical bore 490. The diameter of the top of bore 490 is the same as that of cylindrical bore 760. The diameter at the lower cutting edge of bore 490 and cylindrical section is slightly less than that of bore 760. The cylindrical section must be long enough to hold onto the cored soil and not too long. Otherwise, friction would prevent cutting a full length core. Tube 76 is removably attached to driving sleeve 68 by means of a pin 762 on tube 76 which fits in slot 680 of the sleeve. The sleeve 68 is rigidly attached to a face of block 69 which in turn is rigidly attached to and mounted upon a link of an endless push-pull chain 5.
Sprocket 48 is turned by electric motor 3, which is of the reversing type. Motor 3 turns shaft 57 and pulley 58, moves V-belt 59, turns pulley 60, jack-shaft 62, and roller drive chain 42. This turns sprocket 47 and operates car transmission 66 when the latter is set in low gear. Power is thus applied by motor 3 to turn clutch shaft 43 and friction drive pressure plates 44 which are attached to the shaft by Allen screw 51 and half-moon key 50. The friction drive pressure plates are held firmly against clutch facing discs and friction driven pressure plates 46, which are welded to drive sprocket 48, by compression spring 53. The spring is held tightly by adjusting nut 56 on threaded section of clutch shaft 43. This causes power to be applied to drive sprocket 48. If an obstruction is encountered, the movement of the roller chains automatically stops, through slippage of the friction clutch.
When it is desired to force the soil coring tube into the ground push button switch 7 is closed. Current flows from battery 4 through conductor 15, the contacts 19 and 21 of switch 7, conductor 22, the contacts 24 and 26 of limit switch 12 and through conductors 28 and 41. This flow of current through conductors 28 and 41 energizes solenoids 31 of reversing switches 8 and 9, the circuit being completed at ground 30. Closure of the solenoid switches causes current to flow from battery 4, through conductors 15 and 38, reversing switch 9, through conductor 37 and motor field winding 371 and through conductor 35, reversing switch 8, conductor 33, armature of motor 372 and conductor 17, to battery 4 to complete the circuit. The motor is then operating in the direction to cause the push-pull roller chains to move downward over idler sprocket 67 in the channel guides 74.
Provision for automatically stopping movement of the soil coring tube at the proper place is provided for by operation of limit switch 12 located at base of I-beam 75 (Figure 1) and limit switch 13 located at the top of beam 75. The limit switches are actuated by the movement of the chain which carries coring head drive block 69 up and down. The coring head drive block 69 moving downwardly carries stop-pin 70 into contact with lever 71 which is attached to limit switch mounting bracket 72. Movement of lever 71 (Figure l) compresses spring 39 to allow limit switch 12 to operate thereby breaking the circuit and causing push-pull roller chain 5 to stop.
This controls the depth to which the soil coring tube will enter the soil.
When it is desired to lift the soil coring tube 76 out of the soil, push button switch 6 (Figure 5) is operated to close the circuit from battery 4, through conductor 15, contacts 18 and 20, conductor 23, through limit switch 13 (closed by spring 339), contacts 25 and 27 and through conductor 29. This closure of the circuit by push button switch 6 allows current to flow through conductor 29 and 40 to energize solenoids 31 of reversing switches 10 and 11, the circuit being completed at ground 30. Current from battery 4 then flows through conductors 15 and 38, through contacts of reversing switch 11, through conductor 34 and the motor field winding in reverse direction and through conductor 36, contacts of reversing switch 10, conductor 32, motor armature 372, conductor 17, to battery 4. This causes operation of the motor in the opposite direction so that power is transmitted to the roller chains in reverse direction, the soil coring tube being lifted out of the soil.
As the soil coring tube moves upwardly, provision is made for automatically stopping it at the proper place. Limit switch 13, located at top of I-beam 75, becomes operative when the chain 5 carries stop-pin 70 into contact with lever 711 to compress spring 339 and thereby break the circuit and stop movement of the soil coring machine.
A non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license in the invention herein described, for all governmental purposes, throughout the world, with the power to grant sublicenses for such purposes, is hereby granted to the Government of the United States of America.
