DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for accommodating reaping tea, which is suitable for being provided in a tea ridge traveling type tea mower running across a tea ridge.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For the purpose of saving labor and improving the efficiency of tea cutting work, a tea ridge running type tea picking machine or the like which runs over a tea ridge has become widespread. Temporary storage of cutted tea in the tea ridge running type tea leaf picking machine is performed by sending cutted tea cut by the tea cutting machine into a storage container mounted at the rear of the device by air blowing and storing. .

The specific structure of this storage container is, for example, that the side body is formed of a perforated plate having rigidity such as punching metal, and the conveying wind that blows the reaping tea is discharged from the holes of the perforated plate to the outside. The structure is such that only tea leaves that are discharged and cannot pass through the hole are stored in the storage container.

[0004] By the way, in actual storage of the cutted tea A ', the stem Aa' of the cutted tea A 'is inserted into the hole 52a' of the perforated plate 52 'as shown in FIG.
It will not come off as it is, and the side body 51 '(perforated plate 52')
There is a phenomenon that a large number of reaping teas A 'are stuck to the inner surface.

[0005] The first problem caused by the attachment of the cutting tea A 'to the inner surface of the side body 51' is that the cutting tea A ', which has been stuck for a long time, falls after being deteriorated. When mixed with freshly harvested tea A ', the rating of the raw tea leaves may be reduced, and the profit of the producer may be impaired. Therefore, at the time of the plucking operation, it is necessary to remove all the reaping tea A 'stuck to the inner surface of the side body 51' in this manner. There is a further problem that it is extremely troublesome and delays the plucking operation. Further, since the ventilation of the side body 51 'is impeded by the stuck cutting tea A', the quality of the picked fresh tea leaves (cutting tea A ') is accelerated, or the cut leaves are picked in the container. Also, there has been a problem that the harvested tea A 'cannot be deposited smoothly due to the influence of the difficulty in removing the blowing air for transportation.

[0006]

[Technical Problems Attempted to Be Developed] The present invention has been made in view of such a background. In a storage container, the conveying wind that blows reaping tea is smoothly discharged out of the storage container, and the reaping tea is removed. An attempt was made to develop a storage container having a new structure for preventing reaping tea from adhering to the side surface of the storage container so as not to stick to the inner surface of the container.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an accommodating container provided with a structure for preventing reaping tea from adhering, wherein the reaping tea immediately after being mown is stored and transported. A part or the whole of the side body is characterized in that a mesh having a mesh size that does not allow the stem of tea leaves to be stretched on the inner surface of a rigid member having air permeability. is there. According to the present invention, the stalk of the reaping tea pierces the mesh of the net body of the side body and does not stick thereto, but falls downward as it is. The tea leaves do not stick to the side body, so there is no need to remove the attached cutting tea, and the deteriorated cutting tea that has stuck for a long time will later peel off and mix into new cutting tea. In addition, it does not lower the grade of reaping tea.
Also, because the ventilation of the side body is not hindered by reaping tea,
For example, it can be expected that the freshness retention time of the plucked tea leaves will be long.

[0008] According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above requirements, the container having the mowing tea adhesion preventing structure according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a traveling machine that runs over a tea ridge and a cutting blade provided on the traveling machine. A tea-running machine comprising a tea-cutting machine body for picking tea leaves and cutting branches, and a relay transfer device for blowing cutted tea cut by the tea-cutting machine to the storage container. It is characterized by being provided in a tea cutting device. According to the present invention, the blown reaping tea comes into contact with the side body, and only the carrier air passes through the net and the side body, and the stalk does not stick into the net of the net, so the cutting tea is kept as it is. Fall down. The tea leaves do not stick to the side body, so there is no need to remove the attached cutting tea, and the deteriorated cutting tea that has stuck for a long time will later peel off and mix into new cutting tea. And it does not lower the rating of reaper. Further, since the air permeability of the side body is not hindered by the reaping tea, it can be expected that, for example, the freshness holding time of the plucked tea leaves becomes longer.

[0009] Further, the container having the mowing tea adhesion preventing structure according to claim 3 is characterized in that, in addition to the above requirements, the mesh size of the mesh is 16 to 32 mesh. According to the present invention, the cut tea does not adhere to the net, and on the other hand, the conveying air that has carried the cut tea is sufficiently discharged to the outside.
