ABSTRACT:
A vehicle towable cotton module compacter (10) is disclosed for use in the cotton field on seed cotton. A rigid framework (12) has upper and lower rectangular frames (28, 22). The upper frame (28) has a hopper (88) with an open top mouth (90). The hopper (88) has a collection box (92) with a push plate (96) for discharging collected cotton rearwardly through an opening (94) into a vertical compaction chamber (30). The chamber (30) is formed by a stationary vertical front wall (32) and a pair of L-shaped doors (40, 42) hinged along vertical axes at their forward edges. The longitudinal sides (44, 46) of the doors (40, 42) form the right and left sidewalls of the compaction chamber (30), and the lateral sides (48, 50) of the doors (40, 42) each form half of the rear wall of the chamber (30). The left, right and rear chamber walls are tapered outwardly as they extend downwardly. The upper frame (28) includes tamper means (108) mounted above the compaction chamber (30). A tamper foot (120) has a plurality of parallel horizontal toes (124) vertically reciprocal into the compaction chamber (30) by a central vertical hydraulic cylinder (116). The tamper foot (120) is guided by guide poles (130, 132) and guide plates (126, 128) on opposite lateral sides of the hydraulic cylinder (116) for registered movement of the tamper foot (120) and aligned compaction of cotton within the chamber (30). The bottom wall of the compaction chamber (30) is formed by a horizontal pallet (52) movably carried on a conveyor (134) for rearward discharge of the compacted cotton module through opened doors (40, 42).
