Next, the case where the elevating lever 12 is operated to the neutral position, the raised position, and the lowered position will be described.
The state shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is a state in which the elevating lever 12 is operated to the neutral position, the control valve 66 (spool 66a) is operated to the neutral position, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is stopped, and planting and fertilization are performed. The clutches 76 and 77 are operated in the disconnected state, the seedling planting device 6 is stopped, and the feeding portion 27 is stopped. The end 69 a of the linkage rod 69 is located in the middle of the long hole 67 a of the first operation plate 67 and is located at the lower end of the long hole 68 a of the second operation plate 68.

  When the lifting lever 12 is operated to the raised position from the state shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the control valve 66 is operated to the raised position via the linkage rod 69 and the second operation plate 68 (the spool 66a of the control valve 66 is turned on). Then, hydraulic oil is supplied to the hydraulic cylinder 5, the hydraulic cylinder 5 contracts, and the seedling planting device 6 is driven up. In this case, the first operation plate 67 is not operated by the interchange action of the long hole 67a of the first operation plate 67, and the planting and fertilizing clutches 76 and 77 are operated in the disconnected state.

  As described above, when the seedling planting device 6 is driven up and the seedling planting device 6 reaches the upper limit position, the linkage rod 79 is connected to the link mechanism 4 by the linkage rod 79 (not shown). The control valve 66 is operated to the neutral position (the spool 66a of the control valve 66 protrudes) by operating to the left side of the page, and the lifting lever 12 is operated to the neutral position via the linkage rod 69 and the second operation plate 68. Then, the seedling planting device 6 automatically stops at the upper limit position.

  When the raising / lowering lever 12 is operated to the lowered position in the state where the seedling planting device 6 is driven upward from the rice field, the end portion 69a of the linkage rod 69 is likely to move away from the lower end of the long hole 68a of the second operation plate 68. However, the center grounding float 24 is lowered with respect to the seedling planting device 6 so that the linkage rod 79 is pulled leftward in FIG. 11 so that the second operation plate 68 follows the linkage rod 69. And the control valve 66 is operated to the lowered position (the spool 66a of the control valve 66 protrudes). As a result, the hydraulic oil is discharged from the hydraulic cylinder 5, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is extended, and the seedling planting device 6 is driven downward. In this case, the first operation plate 67 is not operated by the interchange action of the long hole 67a of the first operation plate 67, and the planting and fertilizing clutches 76 and 77 are operated in the disconnected state.

  As described above, when the seedling planting device 6 is driven downward while the lifting lever 12 is operated to the lowered position and the center grounding float 24 contacts the rice field, the center grounding float 24 is in contact with the seedling planting device 6. Is raised, the linkage rod 79 is operated to the right in FIG. 11, and the control valve 66 is operated to the neutral position by the second operation plate 68 (the spool 66a of the control valve 66 is pushed in) (FIG. 11). Reference), the hydraulic cylinder 5 stops, and the seedling planting device 6 stops on the paddy surface. In this case, the first operation plate 67 is not operated by the interchange action of the long hole 67a of the first operation plate 67, and the planting and fertilizing clutches 76 and 77 are operated in the disconnected state.

  Thereafter, the ground contact float 24 at the center follows the ground surface, and when the seedling planting device 6 moves up and down with respect to the field surface (center ground float 24), the center ground float with respect to the seedling planting device 6 is performed. 24 moves up and down, and the control valve 66 (spool 66a) is operated via the linkage rod 79 and the second operation plate 68. As a result, the control valve 66 (spool 66a) is operated so that the seedling planting device 6 is maintained at the set height from the rice field (center grounding float 24), and the hydraulic cylinder 5 is expanded and contracted, so that the seedling planting is performed. The attaching device 6 is automatically driven up and down, and the seedling planting device 6 appears to be stopped on the paddy surface (automatic lifting control). In this case, the first operation plate 67 is not operated by the interchange action of the long hole 67a of the first operation plate 67, and the planting and fertilizing clutches 76 and 77 are operated in the disconnected state.

[6]
Next, the case where the raising / lowering lever 12 is operated to the planting position is demonstrated.
As described in [5] above, when the elevating lever 12 is operated to the planting position while the elevating lever 12 is operated to the lowered position and the seedling planting device 6 is driven down to the paddy surface, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the end 69a of the linkage rod 69 reaches the upper end of the long hole 67a of the first operation plate 67, and the first operation plate 67 is operated around the horizontal axis P5 in the counterclockwise direction.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the first and second operation members 71 and 72 are operated around the vertical axis P6 in the clockwise direction by the linkage rod 70, and the operation pin 47 is removed and the planting clutch is operated. 76 is operated to the transmission state, the operation shaft 55 is rotated by the linkage rod 74, and the fertilizer clutch 77 is operated to the transmission state. Therefore, the seedling planting device 6 starts planting seedlings, and the feeding unit 27 starts feeding fertilizer. In this case, the second operation plate 68 is not operated by the interchange action of the long holes 68a of the second operation plate 68, and the automatic lifting control described in [5] above is performed as it is. The planting depth of the seedling by the planting arm 23 is maintained at the set value by being maintained at the set height from the (center grounding float 24).

  As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), after operating the lifting lever 12 to the planting position, as described in [3] above, against the urging force of the return spring 40 (the lifting lever 12 By operating the elevating lever 12 to the right or left by opening the return spring 40 with the operation pin 12a), the right or left lock mechanism is released via the wire 38, and the right or left marker 35 is released. Is operated to the working posture.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the elevating lever 12 is operated to the lowered position (neutral position or raised position) while the elevating lever 12 is operated to the planting position, the operation described in [5] above is performed. At the same time, the end portion 69 a of the linkage rod 69 tends to move downward from the upper end of the long hole 67 a of the first operation plate 67. Thus, the second operating member 72 is operated counterclockwise around the vertical axis P6 by the biasing force of the spring 75, and the fertilizer clutch 77 is operated to be disconnected by the linkage rod 74 and the operating shaft 55. 27 stops.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the first operating member 71 is also about to be operated around the vertical axis P6 by the urging force of the spring 73, but the seedling planting device 6 has a predetermined phase (FIG. 1). If the planting case 22 shown in FIG. 2 is in a posture parallel to the rice field, and the pair of planting arms 23 provided at both ends of the planting case 22 are not located above the rice field, the operation pin 47 is inserted. The first operation member 71 is not operated counterclockwise around the vertical axis P6, and the planting clutch 76 is not operated in the disconnected state. As described above, even if the second operating member 72 is operated around the vertical axis P6 counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 75, the end portion 70a of the linkage rod 70 moves to the right in FIG. This is allowed by the long hole 71 a of the first operating member 71. Next, when the seedling planting device 6 reaches the predetermined phase described above, the first operating member 71 is operated around the vertical axis P6 in the counterclockwise direction by the biasing force of the spring 73, the operating pin 47 is inserted, and the planting is performed. The attached clutch 76 is operated in the disconnected state, and the seedling planting device 6 stops.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, the control valve 66 is provided with a blocking portion 66 b that blocks hydraulic oil and stops the hydraulic cylinder 5 separately from the spool 66 a. An operation lever 80 is fitted on the operation shaft 64 so as to be relatively rotatable, and a linkage rod 81 is connected across the shut-off portion 66b of the control valve 66 and the operation lever 80. The control lever 66 shuts off the control valve 66. The part 66b can be operated.

[7]
Next, the main transmission lever 13 will be described.

The main transmission lever 13 is held by the start end portion 86 a of the forward transmission path 86 by the engaging action. In a state where the main transmission lever 13 is operated to the start end portion 86a of the forward transmission path 86, the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is held at the neutral stop position.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when the main speed change lever 13 is operated from the start end portion 86 a of the forward speed change path 86 to the forward speed change path 86, the linkage rods 94 and 95 and the operation member 93 cause the hydrostatic non-hydraulic function. The operation arm 31c of the step transmission 31 is operated from the neutral stop position to the forward high speed side. In this case, the urging force of the toggle spring 91 assists the operation of the main speed change lever 13 to the forward speed change path 86. Even when the main speed change lever 13 is released, the end 89a of the leaf spring 89 remains on the operation plate. The main speed change lever 13 is held in that position by the engaging action of engaging with the recess 82 b of 82.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, even if the main speed change lever 13 is operated from the start end portion 86a of the forward speed change path 86 to the neutral path 87 and is operated to the start end portion 88a of the reverse speed change path 88, the main shift lever 13 is moved around the axis P8. The linkage rods 94 and 95 and the operation member 93 are not operated only by operating the main transmission lever 13, and the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is held at the neutral stop position. Next, when the main transmission lever 13 is operated from the start end portion 88 a of the reverse transmission path 88 to the reverse transmission path 88, the operation arm 31 c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is operated by the linkage rods 94 and 95 and the operation member 93. Is operated from the neutral stop position to the reverse high speed side. In this case, the urging force of the toggle spring 91 assists the operation of the reverse transmission path 88 of the main transmission lever 13, and even if the hand is released from the main transmission lever 13, the end 89 a of the leaf spring 89 remains on the operation plate. The main speed change lever 13 is held in that position by the engaging action of engaging with the recess 82 b of 82.

Next, a description will be given of a structure in which when the operation pedal 14 is operated to the depressed position, the main transmission lever 13 and the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 are operated to a predetermined low speed position near the neutral stop position.
As shown in FIG. 18, a long hole 14 c is formed in the operation arm 14 a of the operation pedal 14, and as shown in FIGS. 6, 9, and 15, the linkage rod 96 is connected to the operation member 93. An end pin 96 a is inserted into the elongated hole 14 c of the operation pedal 14.

  The state shown in FIG. 18 is a state where the operation pedal 14 is located at the return position and the main transmission lever 13 is located on the neutral path 87 (the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is located at the neutral stop position). State). In this state, the pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 is positioned near the center of the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14, and when the main speed change lever 13 is operated from the start end portion 86a of the forward speed change path 86 to the forward speed change path 86. As shown in the preceding item [7] and FIG. 17, the operation arm 31 c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is operated from the neutral stop position to the forward high speed side (the pin 96 a of the linkage rod 96 is connected to the operation pedal 14. It moves to the right of the paper surface of FIG. 19 along the long hole 14c). When the main transmission lever 13 is operated from the start end portion 88a of the reverse transmission path 88 to the reverse transmission path 88, the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is operated from the neutral stop position to the reverse high speed side. (The pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 moves to the left in FIG. 19 along the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14).

As shown in FIG. 19, in the state where the operation pedal 14 is located at the return position, when the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is operated to the forward high speed side by the main transmission lever 13, The pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 is positioned slightly to the right in FIG. 19 with respect to the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14 (the pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 slightly extends from the end of the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14 in FIG. To the left of the page). In this state, as shown in FIG. 20, when the operation pedal 14 is stepped on and operated to the stepped position, the main clutch 52 is operated to the disengaged state as described in [9] above, and the brake 54 is braked. Operated on the side. At the same time, the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14 moves to the left in FIG. 20, and the pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 is pushed to the position shown in FIG. Therefore, in the state shown in FIG. 20, the main transmission lever 13 and the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 are operated to a predetermined low speed position near the neutral stop position by the linkage rod 96 and the operation member 93. It becomes a state.
Next, even if the operation pedal 14 is operated to the return position, as shown in FIG. 21, the engagement of the end portion 89a of the leaf spring 89 engaging the recess 82b of the operation plate 82 (see FIG. 15) The shift lever 13 and the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 are left at a predetermined low speed position near the neutral stop position.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the operation pedal 14 is in the return position and the operation arm 31c of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is operated to the high speed side by the main transmission lever 13, The pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 is located slightly to the left of the paper surface than the position of the long hole 14c of the operation pedal 14 shown in FIG. In this state, even if the operating pedal 14 is stepped on and operated to the stepped position in this state, the pin 96a of the linkage rod 96 is pushed even if the elongated hole 14c of the operating pedal 14 moves to the left in the drawing of FIG. The operation arm of the main transmission lever 13 and the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission 31 is not affected by the engaging action of the end 89a of the leaf spring 89 engaging the recess 82b of the operation plate 82 (see FIG. 15). 31c is left on the high speed side of the reverse drive.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5 (a) and 9, an operation lever 17 is fixed to the operation pedal 14, and the operation lever 17 extends forward of the aircraft. Even if it does not extend, it can have the operation lever 17, and the operation lever 14 can be operated to a stepping position and a return position by the operation lever 17. A lock lever 18 is swingably supported around the horizontal axis P11 in the front-rear direction of the airframe of the right step 10, and an engagement member 17a having a U-shape in plan view is fixed to the operation lever 17 along the front-rear direction of the airframe. Thus, by engaging the lock lever 18 with the front portion of the engaging member 17a of the operation lever 17, the operation pedal 14 and the operation lever 17 can be held in the stepped position.
In this case, a spring 97 for urging the lock lever 18 to the side away from the engaging member 17a of the operation lever 17 is provided. When the operation pedal 14 is simply operated to the stepped position, the lock lever 18 is operated by the operation lever. The operating pedal 14 can be operated to the return position without any trouble without engaging with the front portion of the 17 engaging members 17a.

[Another Embodiment of the Invention]
In contrast to the above-mentioned [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention], a riding type rice transplanter of a different type (a type in which the engine 101 is slightly smaller and the overall length of the aircraft is slightly shorter) is the same floor 7 shown in FIG. And the right and left step 10 are used, and as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the connecting hole 7c of the floor 7 and the connecting hole 10c of the right and left step 10 are connected by bolts (not shown). Then, the floor 7 and the right and left steps 10 are attached to the airframe, and the floor mat 100 shown in FIG. 2 is not used.

  The above-described different type of rice paddy machine uses a handle post 106 as shown in FIGS. 24 (a) and 24 (b), and is different from the upper part 9c of the bonnet 9 shown in FIGS. The upper part (not shown) is fixed to the handle post 106. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the front part 9a and the rear part 9b of the bonnet 9 are the same as the upper part of the bonnet 9, and the overlapping part of the front part 9a and the rear part 9b of the bonnet 9 is made longer. By setting, the length of the airframe is slightly reduced (by connecting the connecting hole 7c of the floor 7 and the connecting hole 10c of the right and left step 10).

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 5B, the positions of the operation pedal 14 and the operation lever 17 do not change, whereas the position of the lock lever 18 provided in the right step 10 is slightly backward (see FIG. B) to the left of the page). Since the engagement member 17a having a U-shape in plan view is fixed to the operation lever 17 along the longitudinal direction of the machine body, the lock lever 18 is engaged with the operation lever 17 even if the position of the lock lever 18 moves slightly backward. The engaging member 17a can be engaged with the rear portion, and the operation pedal 14 and the operation lever 17 can be held at the stepped position without any trouble.

In the above-mentioned different types of riding rice transplanters, the same lever guide 85 is fixed to the handle post 106 and the damper member 63 is attached to the handle post 106 as shown in FIGS. It is located at the notch 85 b of 85 and is connected to the connection hole 62 c of the engagement plate 62.
In this case, after the damper member 63 is attached to the handle post 106, the damper member 63 is connected to the engagement plate 62 to the connection hole 62c even if the damper member 63 is mistakenly inserted into the notch 85a of the lever guide 85. I can't.
Even if the damper member 63 is mistakenly connected to the connection hole 62b of the engagement plate 62 after the damper member 63 is attached to the handle post 106 and positioned at the notch 85b of the lever guide 85, it is described in [8] above. As described above, when the operation arm 64a and the roller 64b of the operation shaft 64 are separated downward from the recess 62a of the engagement plate 62 and the lifting lever 12 is operated to the raised position by the biasing force of the damper member 63, the engagement plate 62 is moved to the operation shaft. It leaves | separates from the roller 64b of 64 to the paper surface right of FIG.11 and FIG.12. With the above structure, the mounting error of the damper member 63 is reduced.
