The center float 165 and the side floats 166 are provided to level the field and to level the front of the field where seedlings are planted by the seedling planting tools 164.

Numeral 167 is a PTO transmission shaft having universal joints at both ends, and is provided to transmit the power of the fertilizer application case 168 to the planting transmission case 162 of the rice transplanter 3. A center float sensor 169 is composed of a potentiometer for detecting the vertical position of the front part of the center float 165.
It is linked by a link with the front upper surface of 65. Then, based on the vertical position detection of the front part of the center float 165 of the center float sensor 169, the control device 17
Solenoid hydraulic valve 16
1, the hydraulic cylinder 160 is used to control the vertical position of the rice transplanter 3.

That is, when the front portion of the center float 165 is lifted by an external force beyond the proper range, the hydraulic pump 13 sends the pressure oil pumped out from the inside of the transmission case 11 to the hydraulic cylinder 160 to cause the piston to project. The lifting link device 2 is moved upward to raise the rice transplanting device 3 to a predetermined position, and when the front part of the center float 165 falls below the proper range, the hydraulic cylinder 16
When the pressure oil in 0 is returned to the inside of the mission case 11, the lifting link device 2 is moved downward to lower the rice planting device 3 to a predetermined position, and when the front part of the center float 165 is in the proper range (the rice planting device (3 is in a proper predetermined position), it is provided so that the pressure oil in the hydraulic cylinder 160 is prevented from entering and exiting and the rice planting device 3 is held at a fixed position. In this way, the center float 165 is used as a ground sensor for automatic height control of the rice transplanter 3.

Numeral 171 is a finger lever arranged below the steering handle 10, and the finger lever 1
When 71 is operated in the vertical direction, the finger lever switch 172 constituted by a potentiometer is operated, and the PTO clutch operating means of the control device 170 operates the P switch.
The TO clutch actuation SOL 173 is operated to operate the PTO clutch provided in the fertilizer application case 168 to connect and disconnect the power, and the power to the fertilizer application device 4 and the rice transplanter device 3 can be turned on and off. , Controller 1
The rice planting device raising / lowering means 70 is configured to manually move the rice planting device 3 by operating the solenoid hydraulic valve 161.

That is, when the finger lever 171 is operated "up", the PTO clutch is disengaged, the operation of the fertilizer application device 4 and the rice transplanter device 3 is stopped, and the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 is operated.
Is forced to switch the rice transplanter 3 to the ascending side. When the finger lever 171 is operated "down" once after the finger lever 171 is operated "up", the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 causes the center float 1 to move.
When the rice transplanter 3 is in the raised state, the center float 1 is turned on and off.
The rice transplanter 3 descends until the grounding of 65 takes an appropriate posture. When the finger lever 171 is operated to "down" again, the PTO clutch is engaged and the fertilizer applicator 4 and the rice transplanter 3 are operated while the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 is switched by the vertical movement of the center float 165. Driven. After that, each time the finger lever 171 is operated to “down”, the PTO clutch is alternately switched on and off while the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 remains in the automatic control state in which it is switched by the vertical movement of the center float 165.

Here, the pitching mechanism for pitching the rice transplanter 3 with respect to the traveling vehicle 1 will be described. A hydraulic pitching cylinder 210 is provided in the middle of the upper link 2a of the lifting link device 2, and the length of the upper link is changed by the expansion and contraction of the pitching cylinder 210, so that the rice planting device 3 is moved relative to the traveling vehicle 1. Drive pitching movement is possible. More specifically, the front upper link 2a is formed of a hollow square pipe material, and a fitting member 2c fixed to the front end of the rear upper link 2b is slidably fitted in the rear end of the front upper link 2a. In this state, the leading end of the piston 210a of the pitching cylinder 210 fixed to the front upper link 2a is fixed to the rear upper link 2b side. Therefore, as the pressure oil is supplied to and discharged from the pitching cylinder 210 and the piston 210a advances and retracts, the fitting member 2c fixed to the front end of the rear upper link 2b slides in the rear end of the front upper link 2a, The link length is changed.

On the other hand, an inclination sensor 211 for detecting the inclination angle of the traveling vehicle 1 in the front-rear direction is provided on the main frame 10 so that the front and rear of the rice planting device 3 with respect to the field scene regardless of the change in the front-rear inclination posture of the traveling vehicle 1. The pitching control means of the controller 170 switches the control valve 212 of the pitching cylinder 15 based on the detection information of the tilt sensor 21 so as to maintain the tilted posture in a predetermined posture.

Therefore, the rice transplanting apparatus 3 is forcibly pitched so as to have a predetermined posture. For example, when the traveling vehicle 1 tilts to the front by a large amount when the front wheels 6 fall into a recess and the traveling vehicle 1 leans forward and downward from a normal traveling state in a field where the mud surface and the hard plate are horizontal, the pitching cylinder 210 is extended to drive the length of the upper link. By increasing the length, the downward movement of the rice transplanter 3 is offset to maintain the rice transplanter 3 in a predetermined posture.
On the contrary, when the traveling vehicle 1 leans forward to a large extent due to the front wheels 6 riding on the convex portion, the pitching cylinder 2
By shortening and driving 10 to shorten the length of the upper link, the upward movement of the rice transplanter 3 is offset to maintain the rice transplanter 3 in a predetermined posture.

Here, the structure of the portion where the front wheels 6 and 6 are steered by the steering handle 16 is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. Steering wheel 16
Is fixed to the upper part of the steering shaft provided in the steering post 14, and the rotation of the steering shaft is decelerated and transmitted to the output shaft 174 via the steering speed change gear provided in the transmission case 11. The lower end of the output shaft 174 projects from the bottom surface of the mission case 11 and has a pitman arm 175 fixed thereto. The front left and right sides of the pitman arm 175 and the left and right front wheel support cases 22, 22 are connected by left and right rods 176, 176. Therefore, when the steering handle 16 is rotated, it is transmitted to the steering shaft, the steering speed change gear, the output shaft 174, the pitman arm 175, the left and right rods 176, 176, the left and right front wheel support cases 22, 22, and the left and right front wheels 6, 6 are transmitted. Is operated left and right.

On the other hand, an operating roller 177 is rotatably provided on the upper rear surface of the pitman arm 175.
The driven body 1 having a notch portion 178 that is notched in a U shape in plan view so as to surround the left and right sides of the operation roller 177.
79 is rotatably supported on the bottom surface of the mission case 11. The left and right side parts of the driven body 179 are connected to the front parts of the left and right rods 180, 180 connected to the left and right clutch operation arms 86I, 86I. Therefore, when the steering handle 16 is turned to the right by a predetermined amount (the amount that the operator turns to the right with the intention of turning the machine body to the right), the pitman arm 175 also turns to the right and the operating roller 1
77 rotates in the direction of C and pushes the left side surface 178a of the cutout portion 178 of the driven body 179, the driven body 179 is rotated in two directions to pull the right rod 180, and the right clutch operating arm 8
6I is operated, the right side clutch I is disengaged, and the right rear wheel 7 on the turning center side is in an idle state, so the right rear wheel 7 does not damage the tiller, and a large amount of mud is lifted to raise the mud surface. You can turn to the right smoothly and cleanly without ruining. On the contrary, when the steering handle 16 is turned counterclockwise by a predetermined amount or more, the pitman arm 175 is also turned counterclockwise and the actuating roller 177 is turned counterclockwise to push the right side surface 178b of the notch 178 of the driven member 179. And the driven body 17
9 is rotated in two opposite directions to pull the left rod 180, and the left clutch operating arm 86I is operated to move the left side clutch I.
And the left rear wheel 7 on the turning center side becomes idle,
The left rear wheel 7 does not damage the cultivator, and does not lift up a large amount of mud to roughen the mud surface, so that the left turning can be performed smoothly and cleanly.

Further, left and right sensor pushing pieces 182, 182 are provided on the front upper surface of the pitman arm 175, and when the steering handle 16 is rotated 230 degrees to the left or right, it is fixed to the bottom surface of the mission case 11. Also, the auto lift switch 183 is turned on (the steering handlebar 16 rotates left and right at a maximum of 380 degrees).

Next, a control configuration for automatically raising the rice transplanter 3 will be described. First, when the change lever 90 is operated to the reverse speed, a back lift switch 191 is provided which is brought into contact with the contact piece 190 provided at the base of the change lever 90 and is turned on. Is configured to control the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 to raise the rice transplanter 3 to the maximum position by the hydraulic cylinder 160.

As described above, when the change lever 90 is operated to the reverse speed, the rice planting device 3 is automatically raised to the maximum position. Therefore, in order to turn the machine at the edge of the field, the machine is turned. Since the rice planting device 3 is automatically raised to the maximum position when the rice plant is moved backward toward the ridge, it is possible to prevent the rice planting device 3 from colliding with the ridge and being damaged.

When the auto lift switch 183 is turned on when the steering handle 16 is rotated to the right or left by 230 degrees, the rice transplanter raising means of the control device 170 controls the solenoid hydraulic valve 161 to control the hydraulic cylinder 160. It is configured to raise the rice planting device 3 to the maximum position.

In this way, when the steering handle 16 is rotated to the left or right to the maximum in order to turn the aircraft at the edge, the automatic lift switch 183 is turned on and the rice transplanter 3 is automatically moved to the maximum position. Because it will rise
There is no need to operate the rice transplanter 3 when the machine is turned, and the machine can be efficiently turned and workability is improved.

On the other hand, the auto lift switch 183 is turned on outside the left and right sides of the operation panel 17 on the side of the cockpit 20 side.
Then, an automatic lift changeover switch 192a is provided which automatically switches the rice transplanter 3 to a state in which it is automatically raised by the rice transplanter raising means of the controller 170 and a state in which it is not automatically raised even when the automatic lift switch 183 is turned on. There is. Further, the back lift switch 191 is turned on inside the left and right sides of the operation panel 17 on the side of the cockpit 20 side.
Then, a backlift changeover switch 192b is provided which automatically switches the rice transplanter 3 to a state in which it is automatically raised by the rice transplanter raising means of the controller 170 and a state in which it is not automatically raised even if the backlift switch 191 is turned on. There is.

For example, when crossing the ridges to get out of the field, the rice transplanter 3 is moved forward while descending in order to improve the front-rear balance of the machine body. Pilot seat 2 to improve
Standing at the front end of the machine away from 0, the front weight of the machine is increased to cross the ridge. At this time, when the traveling direction of the aircraft is changed due to the influence of the ridges, the operator tries to correct the traveling direction of the aircraft by operating the steering handle 16, but at this time, the steering handle 16 If the automatic lift switch 183 is turned on and the rice transplanting apparatus 3 is automatically raised by the turning operation of, there is a risk that the front-rear balance of the machine body becomes poor and the machine body falls over. Therefore, by disposing the automatic lift changeover switch 192a on the left and right outside of the operation panel 17, the automatic lift switch 183 is turned on by the turning operation of the steering handle 16 when the ridge is crossed as described above, and the rice transplanter 3 is operated. When attempting to be automatically raised, the operator can easily change the automatic lift changeover switch 192a from the front end of the machine body.
Can be turned off to stop the automatic raising of the rice transplanter 3, which avoids danger and is safe.

The automatic lift changeover switch 192a
And, if the backlift switch 192b is turned off, and the rice transplanter 3 is not automatically raised even if the backlift switch 191 is turned on or the automatic lift switch 183 is turned on, the aircraft is moved backward to a barn or the like. The rice transplanter 3 does not automatically move up even if the change lever 90 is operated to the reverse speed when it goes down. Therefore, the rice transplanter 3 can be moved backward with the rice transplanter 3 lowered, and the rice transplanter can be mounted on the upper part of the entrance of the barn or other members inside the barn. It is possible to avoid the situation of hitting 3. Further, when planting around a ridge in a deformed field such as a fan type or a gourd type, the planting work is performed while turning the steering handle 16 along the curved ridge. At this time, the automatic lift changeover switch 192a is used. Is set to the automatic position, when the steering handle 16 is rotated to the left or right by 230 degrees or more, the rice transplanter 3 is automatically operated.
However, if the auto lift changeover switch 192a is turned off, the rice planting device 3 does not rise even if the steering handle 16 is rotated to the left or right by 230 degrees or more, so that the planting work can be performed. ,
Appropriate seedling planting work can be performed even in deformed fields.

In the figure, 200 is a spare seedling mounting table provided at the front of the machine body, and 201 is a center mascot used as an index for straight running. As described above, the mission case 11 is provided in the front part of the aircraft near the pitman arm 175 operated by the steering handle 16, and the mission case 1 is provided.

Can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the side clutch I of the rear wheel 7 on the inside of the turn is disengaged by operating the steering handle 16 at a predetermined angle or more. However, by operating the steering handle 16 at a predetermined angle or more. It goes without saying that the side clutch I of the rear wheel 7 on the inside of the turn may be disengaged and the brake device J of the rear wheel 7 on the inside of the turn may be braked. When the left and right rear wheels 7 are driven via the differential device, the steering wheel 16 is operated at a predetermined angle or more to rotate the rear rear wheels 7 inside.
The braking device J may be configured to be braked.

Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the above embodiment, the HST operation lever 11
At 0, as the forward vehicle speed and the reverse vehicle speed increase, they interlock,
Although the example in which the engine 12 is configured to increase the rotational speed in a proportional manner has been shown, the second embodiment shows that the HST operating lever 110 is used.
When the forward vehicle speed is increased at, the accelerator rapidly rises to near full opening in the fine speed forward stage, and the engine speed greatly increases at the slow forward speed, so the transmission efficiency of the HST is good and the running performance is improved. It is configured as follows.

That is, the accelerator pedal 130a is rotatably supported by the machine body (a torque spring is provided at the rotary shaft center of the accelerator pedal 130a, and the accelerator pedal 130a is depressed as in the above embodiment. If it is not, it is always urged to return to the upper position), the operating arm 220 swinging integrally with the accelerator pedal 130a and the upper part of the counter arm 221 rotatably supported by the machine body are connected by the rod 222. There is. Then, the counter arm 22
A roller 223 is rotatably provided at a middle portion of the first roller 1, and an outer peripheral cam surface 225 of a swing cam 224 rotatably supported by the machine body is provided so as to be in sliding contact with the roller 223. Then, the outer peripheral cam surface 225 of the swing cam 224.
Has a circular arc surface 22 whose distance r1 from the rotation axis is constant.
A steeply inclined surface 2 where the distance from 5a and the axis of rotation is suddenly increased.
25b and a gently sloping surface 225c whose distance from the axis of rotation is gently longer. Also, the swing cam 22
4 and the arm 133 provided above the positioning shaft 115 of the above embodiment are connected by an operating rod 226.

Therefore, when the HST operating lever 110 is operated from the neutral position N toward the reverse maximum speed position R, the operation rod 226 is pulled by the rotation of the arm 133 from the state shown in FIG. 17 to move the swing cam 224 in the a direction. Although the roller 223 is rotated, the roller 223 of the counter arm 221 rolls on the circular arc surface 225a whose distance r1 from the rotation axis is constant. Therefore, the counter arm 221 is not rotated and the rotation of the engine 12 is idling. There is. Conversely, HST
When the operating lever 110 is operated from the neutral position N toward the maximum forward speed position F, the arm 1 moves from the state shown in FIG.
The rotation cam 33 pushes the operation rod 226 to move the swing cam 2
24 is rotated in the opposite direction. At that time, the counter arm 2 when the HST operation lever 110 is in the neutral position N
The roller 223 of 21 is the outer peripheral cam surface 22 of the swing cam 224.
Since it is in the immediate vicinity of steep slope 225b of roller 5, roller 2
23 is pushed by the steeply inclined surface 225b, and the counter arm 2
21 is rapidly rotated, and the rotation of the engine 12 is rapidly increased. After that, the roller 223 has a steep slope 225.
When the roller 223 is moved from b to the gently inclined surface 225c, the roller 223 is pushed by the gently inclined surface 225c, the counter arm 221 is gently rotated, and the rotation of the engine 12 gradually increases. That is, in the state as shown in FIG. 18, the accelerator opening degree of the engine 12 increases in association with the operation of the HST operation lever 110. It should be noted that, regardless of the position of the HST operation lever 110, the rotation speed of the engine 12 can be freely increased by depressing the accelerator pedal 130a. Further, when the HST operation lever 110 is operated in the reverse position from the neutral position N, the rotation of the engine 12 remains idling, so that the reverse position can be safely performed.
