Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a leaf collecting bucket (accommodating bucket) for a tea garden management device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tea bag (having the same function as a leaf collecting bucket) of a leaf collecting device of a tea garden management device is provided on the rear side of the tea garden management device (the side opposite to the side where the cutting blade is provided). The tea bag supporting plate is placed on a substantially curved tea bag support plate, and an opening of the tea bag is detachably provided in a tea bag mounting frame at the rear of the tea garden management device.

Accordingly, each time a tea bag is filled with the cut fresh leaves, the tea bag is removed, the mouth of the tea bag is tightened, a new tea bag is attached, or a tea bag filled with fresh leaves is manually transported. And work such as mounting on a vehicle is required, and unexpected labor and time are required.

An investigation was made on an improved invention relating to the attachment / detachment of the tea bag, but no literature relating to this type of leaf collecting bucket was found in a recent publication.

[0005]

As described above, since there is no document or leaf collecting bucket suitable for solving the conventional problem, the conventional problem still remains, or even at present, As described above, since the fresh leaves are stored (harvested) by replacing the tea bags, it is urgently necessary to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the operations of accommodating, transporting (moving), and discharging picked fresh leaves using a leaf collecting bucket can be performed reliably, simply, and quickly. To

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tea garden management apparatus including a traveling unit such as a wheel and a crawler, a cutting device having a cutting blade device and a blowing unit, and an elevating means for lifting and lowering the cutting device. A leaf collection bucket is provided in the tea garden management device,
This is a leaf collecting bucket of the tea garden management device in which the leaf collecting bucket is rotated by an actuator provided in the tea garden management device.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the transfer of the cut fresh leaves to the leaf collecting bucket is not impacted, and the transfer can be performed in a substantially natural state.

A second aspect of the present invention is a leaf collecting bucket of the tea garden management device, wherein the bottom surface of the leaf collecting bucket has a curved shape, and the curved shape substantially matches the curved shape of the cutting blade device of the tea mower.

[0010] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the leaves of the cut leaves are quickly removed from the heat and stored under favorable conditions.

A third aspect of the present invention is a leaf collecting bucket of the tea garden management device, wherein the leaf collecting bucket is composed of a frame and a net.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The leaf collecting bucket according to the present invention is rotatably provided on the rear side of the tea garden management device (opposite to the direction in which tea is cut forward, which is an example). The cut fresh leaves are sequentially sent to the rear side using the blowing wind of the cutting blade device, and stored in a leaf collecting bucket via a curved fresh leaf guiding portion. At this time, since the leaf collecting bucket has a sufficient space (mesh, through-holes, etc.) for releasing the blown wind, the heat to the fresh leaves generated at the time of cutting can be reliably removed.

When a predetermined amount of fresh leaves are stored in the leaf collecting bucket by the above-described operation, the leaf collecting bucket is returned to a predetermined position by using an operating device when reaching this position. Is rotated. By this rotation, the opening of the leaf collecting bucket is sequentially separated from the fresh leaf guiding portion, and the opening is sequentially opened downward. The fresh leaves stored in the leaf collecting bucket are discharged through the downward opening. At the stage where the discharge is completed, for example, the leaf collecting bucket returns, and moves to the picking place with the opening of the leaf collecting bucket opened in the forward direction.

By the above-described operations, operations such as plucking, storing, transporting, and discharging can be performed reliably, simply, and quickly.

[0015]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a tea garden management device.
Is a frame 2, and a cutting blade device 3 provided on the frame 2.
A tea mower 5 having a blower 4, a lifting means 6 provided on the frame 2 for moving up and down the tea mower 5, a leaf collecting bucket 7 rotatably provided on the rear side of the frame 2, the frame The two wheels 8 (an example of a traveling unit) provided in 2 are main components.

The leaf collecting bucket 7 is pivotally attached 71 (buttered) to a rear frame 21 of the frame 2. In this example, a substantially central portion of the upper frame 7 a of the leaf collecting bucket 7 is attached to the rear frame 21. It is pivoted 71. Accordingly, the leaf collecting bucket 7 is configured to come into contact with and separate from the fresh leaf guiding portion 22 provided on the frame 2 by moving the telescopic member 72a of the actuator 72 such as a hydraulic cylinder forward or backward. Therefore,
The opening 7b of the leaf collecting bucket 7 is joined to the fresh leaf guiding portion 22 when the telescopic member 72a of the actuator 72 is retracted, and the opening 7b opens in the forward direction. vice versa,
When the telescopic member 72a of the actuating device 72 is advanced, it is separated from the fresh leaf guiding portion 22, and the opening 7b is opened downward. That is, the fresh leaves T1 cut from the tea tree T are stored in the leaf collecting bucket 7 through the opening 7b that opens in the forward direction. The stored fresh leaves T1 are discharged to the hopper 9 or a transport vehicle, a conveyor, a box, or the like from the opening 7b that opens downward. In the figure, reference numeral 73 denotes a ventilation hole of the leaf collecting bucket 7, which is, for example, a mesh or a through hole. Also, the bottom surface 7c of the leaf collecting bucket 7 is curved and substantially aligned with the bottom surface 22b of the fresh leaf guiding portion 22. The leaf collecting bucket 7 includes a frame, a net made of metal, cloth, plastic, or a composite material,
Alternatively, a structure made of a cloth, a tea bag, or the like, an integrated structure made of metal, plastic, or the like is employed.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a leaf collecting bucket is rotatably provided in a tea garden management device capable of moving a ridge forward or backward.
Since the leaf collecting bucket is configured to be rotated by the actuator, the picked fresh leaves are stored in the leaf collecting bucket, carried, and discharged to a transport vehicle, a conveyor, or the like. Accordingly, there is no need to perform operations such as attaching and detaching a tea bag, or manually transporting a tea bag filled with fresh leaves, and placing the same on a vehicle. , And quickly.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the bottom surface of the leaf collecting bucket is formed in a curved shape, and the curved shape substantially matches the curved shape of the cutting blade device of the tea mower. Therefore, the transfer of the cut fresh leaves to the leaf collecting bucket can be performed in a substantially natural state. In addition, expansion of the accommodation space can be expected.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the leaf collecting bucket comprises a frame and a net. Therefore, the heat of the fresh leaves at the time of cutting can be quickly removed and housed under favorable conditions.
