Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tea ridge crossing type tea-cutter that travels across a tea ridge, and a new tea for accommodating cutted-out tea and removing the tea. The present invention relates to a device for handling reaping tea in a ridge straddling tea cutter.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Tea ridge crossing type tea leaf picking machines and the like, which perform tea cutting work while traveling over a tea ridge, have become widespread, and such a device can reduce labor and efficiency of tea cutting work. Have been. On the other hand, on the other hand, since such an object has been achieved, there has been a demand for the development of a method capable of further improving the work efficiency of subsequent handling of reaping tea.

[0003] At present, the handling (handling) of harvested tea is premised on manual labor, and a storage bag of a size such that one unit is about 15 to 30 kg, which can be carried by an operator alone, is used. This is set on the tea machine each time the work is performed, and when it is full, the mouth is closed and the truck is loaded on the truck. On the other hand, even after being transported to a tea factory, the mouth of each of these storage bags is opened so that the reaper can be taken out.

On the other hand, in the present tea reaper, for example, a riding type plucking machine or the like is used for labor saving as described above, and a large amount of plucking is performed at one time. It is becoming incompatible with such labor-saving tea mowers.

[0005] When an attempt is made to solve such a problem, as long as the conventional general technique is used, first, as shown in FIG. It is conceivable that it is placed just above the track T and turned over and then inserted through the opening of the upper part 61 ', or as shown in FIG. For example, such a technical idea has already become a well-known technique in a grain harvesting device and the like.
However, when such a technical idea is to be applied as it is to a handling device of a tea-running type tea mower, the container 6 'is separated from the traveling machine 2' in any case and the truck T is used.
Because of the large movement to the side, the balance of the tea ridge crossing type tea cutter is deteriorated, and the structure for carrying out the operation has to be large and complicated. This leads to an increase in manufacturing costs and many disadvantages due to a significant increase in the total weight of the vehicle.

Therefore, in order to improve such a method, the present applicant does not pack cutted tea into small tea bags and transports the cutted tea from a large-capacity container to a truck such as a truck. When loading the harvesting tea from the container into a truck such as a truck, it is also possible to put the container at a desired position on the truck even if the container is kept as far away from the traveling machine as possible. A new tea ridge crossing type tea that has good stability when transferring reaping tea from a tea ridge crossing type tea mower, has a simple structure, and can prevent a significant increase in gross vehicle weight. We have developed a device for handling harvested tea in a mowing machine, and have already filed a patent application as Japanese Patent Application No. 11-272267.

[0007] However, even in such a conventional method or the prior invention of the present applicant, the weight of the reaping tea stored in the storage body becomes considerably heavy, and it is very difficult to move the reaper by human power. For this reason, receiving the operating oil from a hydraulic pump driven by an engine mounted on a tea ridge running type tea leaf picking machine or the like, power is given to a driving member relating to the handling of the container and the like, and the harvested tea is taken out. Was.

However, in the case of such a method, when the engine is stopped and the pumping of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system is stopped, there is a case where the take-out operation becomes impossible.
Even in such a case, when it is necessary to take out the container, there is an inconvenience in operation. Also, in some tea gardens, there is a narrow field shape in which it is not possible to secure a space for moving the container at the end of the tea ridge, for example. In such a case, the container is stored without moving the container at all. It is required to take out the harvested tea inside the body, but it was not possible to take it out with the conventional method.

[0009]

[Technical Problem Attempted to Be Developed] The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and even if the normal removal cannot be performed by the regular removal unit, the harvesting inside the container is performed. It has been devised a configuration in which tea can be taken out.

According to the present invention, in the case where the engine of the tea ridge running tea cutter is stopped or the like, and the regular extraction of tea from the stationary extraction unit of the container cannot be performed, the second extraction unit is used. The reaping tea can be taken out manually.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above requirements, the container in which the steady extraction section is provided includes a peripheral frame body and a bottom frame. Having a bottom body provided, all or part of the peripheral frame body,
Alternatively, by moving one or both of the bottom bodies, a discharge opening of the reaping tea serving as the steady extraction portion is opened between the bottom body and the peripheral frame body. The reaping tea is discharged from the discharge opening by driving one or both of the part or the whole, and the bottom body. According to the present invention, the accommodating body can store the cutting tea in a desired position on the bed of the truck without leaving the traveling machine so far from the traveling machine body. The center of gravity of the aircraft is relatively close to the center of the traveling aircraft and has excellent stability. In addition, the structure necessary for carrying out the transfer is relatively simple, and the total weight is not so large.

The discharge opening is opened by horizontally shifting in the terminal direction while pulling the surface, and the discharge opening is opened, and the reaping tea on the conveying surface of the bottom body is discharged from the discharge opening.
According to the present invention, the peripheral frame in the container is horizontally displaced and moved in the driving end direction of the bottom body to open the discharge opening, so that the reaping tea is discharged smoothly and speedily. Further, a driving device such as a motor is not required for the bottom body itself. In particular, since the bottom body on which the reaping tea is substantially placed is not moved and is fixed, the center of gravity of the riding type tea leaf picking machine does not collapse. Also, since the bottom body is a belt conveyor,
Since the structure is simple, it can be implemented inexpensively without taking up space, and the discharging operation is smooth.

Furthermore, the apparatus for handling cutted tea in the tea ridge running tea cutter according to claim 4 is the above claim 2 or 3.
