Description

  According to the present invention, in a rice transplanter, at least two seedling plants with split claws are provided in one rotating case, and each seedling plant is directed to the front seedling platform. The present invention relates to a rotary seedling planting mechanism configured so as to reciprocate up and down between the seedling platform and the field scene by rotating a rotary case while keeping the posture.

  This type of rotary seedling planting mechanism is, for example, as described in Patent Document 1 and the like, in which a rotating case is fixed to a drive shaft that is horizontally supported by a transmission case in a rice transplanter. A seedling plant with split claws is attached to at least two equal parts on the circumference centered on the drive shaft, while each seedling plant is attached to the rotating case in one revolving seedling in the rotating case. An interlocking mechanism that rotates only once in the opposite direction is provided, and each seedling plant is placed between the seedling platform and the field scene in a posture in which the divided claws face the direction of the seedling platform located in front. When reciprocating between them, the interlocking mechanism is an inconstant speed interlocking mechanism that delays rotation in the reverse direction of each seedling plant in association with the revolution of the rotating case around the bottom dead center in the seedling plant. By making each seedling The tip of the split nail in has configured to draw a movement trajectory of the long oval shape of the closed loop up and down.

  In addition, in the case of rice planting work using a rice planting machine equipped with a rotary seedling planting mechanism, the standard planting of 50 to 60 plants per 3.3 square meters, and 3.3 square meters per plant There are a case where the planted plant is densely planted so that the number of planted plants is larger than that of the standard planting, and a case where the planted plant is sparsely planted so that the number of planted plants per 3.3 square meters is smaller than that of the standard planting.

In this case, the change in the number of planted strains described above can be achieved by increasing the rotational speed in the rotating case relative to the forward traveling speed in the rice transplanter by the inter-shaft transmission mechanism, in the case of dense planting. If you are going to do so late.
JP 2000-139146 A

  However, since the motion trajectory at the tip of the split claw of each seedling plant is set by the inconstant speed interlocking mechanism in the rotating case, this motion trajectory is optimal for this standard planting in accordance with the standard planting. In other words, when the division claw is pulled out from the field scene and lifted up, the mud soil is pushed up backwards and dragged forward when inserted in the field scene. When sparse planting is performed by slowing down the rotation speed, the split claws are pulled out of the field scene and the rise is delayed. Therefore, the split claws do not splash up the mud behind, but the split claws are inserted into the field scene. In the farmed scene, there will be a large digging hole in the front side of the planted seedling, and the rotational speed of the rotating case will be increased. When densely planted in this way, the split claws are removed from the field scene and rise faster, so the forward drag by the split claws is reduced, but the backlash of the mud by the split claws increases. As a result, the farm scene has a large digging hole behind the planted seedling.

  In other words, in the rotary type seedling planting mechanism, if this is set as standard planting, appropriate seedling planting cannot be performed when dense planting or sparse planting is performed. In this case, there was a problem that appropriate seedlings could not be planted, and if set to sparse planting, appropriate seedlings could not be planted when standard planting or dense planting was used.

  This invention makes it a technical subject to provide the rotary type seedling planting mechanism which eliminated this problem.

In order to achieve this technical problem, claim 1 of the present invention provides:
“A rotating case is fixed to a lateral drive shaft to which power is transmitted from the power source through the inter-shaft transmission mechanism, and split claws are provided at least in two equal parts on the circumference around the drive shaft. While the provided seedling plant is provided, the seedling plant is rotated only once in the opposite direction during one revolution in the rotating case, and each of the seedling plants is seeded by the divided claws. A rotary type that is provided with an inconstant speed interlocking mechanism that reciprocates up and down in a posture facing the direction of the table and that delays the rotation of each seedling plant around the bottom dead center of the reciprocating motion. In the seedling planting mechanism,
The transmission of power from the inter-shaft transmission mechanism to the drive shaft is accelerated when the rotational speed of the rotating case is at a phase position around the bottom dead center in one rotation of the rotating case. In the case of using an unequal speed transmission mechanism for accelerating to make an inconstant speed state, the rotational speed of the rotating case is set to the phase position around the bottom dead center in one rotation of the rotating case. There is provided an inconstant speed conversion unit for switching between the case of performing the inconstant speed transmission mechanism for decelerating at a certain time and the case of using the inconstant speed transmission mechanism for deceleration. "
It is characterized by that.

Claim 2 of the present invention includes:
“In the first aspect of the present invention, the inconstant speed conversion unit performs power transmission to the drive shaft by a constant speed transmission mechanism in which the rotation speed of the rotating case is constant. The configuration is switched between the case of using the acceleration inconstant speed transmission mechanism and the case of using the deceleration inconstant speed transmission mechanism. "
It is characterized by that.

Claim 3 of the present invention provides:
“In the first aspect of the present invention, each of the acceleration non-uniform speed transmission mechanism and the deceleration non-uniform speed transmission mechanism is a configuration of a non-circular gear mechanism that always meshes with each other. One non-circular gear is rotatably provided on an input shaft from the inter-shaft transmission mechanism or an output shaft to the drive shaft, and the other non-circular gear of the non-circular gear mechanisms is the output shaft. Alternatively, the non-rotating gear is provided on the input shaft so as not to rotate, and further, either one of the rotatable non-circular gears on the input shaft or the output shaft is made non-rotatable with respect to the input shaft or the output shaft. It is a fixed configuration. "
It is characterized by that.

Claim 4 of the present invention provides:
“In the description of claim 2, the constant speed transmission mechanism is a configuration of a circular gear mechanism that is always meshed with each other, while each of the acceleration inconstant speed transmission mechanism and the deceleration inconstant speed transmission mechanism includes: A non-circular gear mechanism that is always meshed with each other, wherein one of the circular gear mechanisms and one of the non-circular gear trains are connected to an input shaft from the inter-mesh transmission mechanism or the drive On the output shaft to the shaft, the circular gear is rotatably provided so as to be positioned between the two non-circular gears. Of the circular gear mechanisms, the other circular gear and the two non-circular gear mechanisms The other non-circular gear is provided non-rotatably on the output shaft or the input shaft so that the circular gear is positioned between the non-circular gears, and further on the input shaft or the output shaft. Rotating circle in Car and one of the two non-circular gear has a sliding key reciprocating in the axial direction so as to non-rotatably fixed to said input shaft or said output shaft. "
It is characterized by that.

  In the configuration described in claim 1, when the power transmission to the drive shaft to which the rotating case is fixed is switched to a state in which the unequal speed transmission mechanism for acceleration is performed, the rotational speed in the rotating case is changed to each seedling plant. Is unequal so that it is accelerated at the phase position around the bottom dead center. By being faster, the split claws in the seedling plant will rise faster from the field than in the case of not accelerating as described above, and therefore the sparse planting with the rotation speed in the rotating case being slowed by the inter-strain transmission mechanism. In this case, the forward drag of the field scene by the divided claws is reduced, and the excavation hole formed on the front side of the planted seedling can be surely reduced.

  In addition, when the power transmission to the drive shaft to which the rotating case is fixed is switched to a state in which the inconstant speed transmission mechanism for deceleration is used, the rotational speed in the rotating case causes the seedlings to come to around the bottom dead center. The speed of the seedlings is reduced so that they are decelerated at the time phase position, and therefore the rotational speed of each seedling plant when it rotates in the reverse direction near the bottom dead center is reduced. The split claws in the body come out of the field scene more slowly than when not decelerating as described above. Therefore, when the rotation speed in the rotating case is increased by the inter-shaft transmission mechanism and densely planted. Therefore, the back-up of the mud by the divided claws is reduced, and the excavation hole formed on the rear side of the planted seedling can be surely reduced.

  That is, regardless of whether the seedlings are densely planted or sparsely planted, they can be performed in substantially the same optimal planting state.

  Next, a second aspect of the present invention is configured such that the switching is performed from the constant speed transmission mechanism that makes the rotation speed of the rotating case constant speed to the unequal speed transmission mechanism for acceleration, or from the constant speed transmission mechanism to the deceleration speed. In this way, the movement trajectory at the tip of the split claw of each seedling plant is adapted to the standard planting, in other words, the standard planting. By setting so that the digging holes before and after the planted seedlings are made as small as possible in this way, the planting state that can make the digging holes before and after the planted seedlings as small as possible is sparsely planted and densely planted Both can be reliably maintained.

  According to the configuration described in claim 3 or 4, when the non-uniform rotation of the rotating case is performed by two non-circular gear mechanisms, one of the non-circular gear mechanisms is changed from one to the other. And switching from the other to the other can be performed with the non-circular gears in the double-circular gear mechanism kept in mesh at all times, so that a phase shift occurs during the switching. The two non-circular gear mechanisms, or both the non-circular gear mechanism and the circular gear mechanism can be accommodated in one gear case in the inconstant speed conversion unit. It can be applied to existing rice transplanters.

  Particularly, in the configuration described in claim 4, by performing the switching with a sliding key, the structure can be simplified and the size and weight can be simplified, and the switching operation can be simplified.

  That is, a side-view-type rotary case 30 is detachably fixed to both ends of the drive shaft 18 protruding from the third case 17, and the rotary case 30 is attached to the rice transplanter 1 by the drive shaft 18. As shown by an arrow B in the side view, the sun gear 31 rotates (revolves) in the counterclockwise direction. The sun gear 31 is rotatably fitted on the drive shaft 18 in the rotating case 30. The gear 31 is locked to the third case 17 through a connecting member 32 so as not to rotate.

  On the outer peripheral portion of the rotating case 30, that is, both left and right end portions, a pusher operating shaft 33, which will be described later, is pivotally supported in parallel with the drive shaft 18 at positions where the distance from the drive shaft 18 is equal. A hollow planting shaft 34 is rotatably fitted on both operating shafts 33 in the rotating case 30.

  The end portions of the planting shaft 34 and the operating shaft 33 project outward from the side surface of the rotary case 30 so that the projecting ends of the planting shafts 34 are opened to the upper surface with a light alloy such as an aluminum alloy. A hollow seedling plant 35 is attached with a bolt 36, and a split claw 36 is fixed to a boss portion 35 a at the tip of each seedling plant 35 in a posture position toward the seedling mount 11. On the other hand, the tip of the operating shaft 33 protrudes into the hollow portion of the seedling plant 35, and a cam 37 for pushing operation is fixed to this portion.

  A planetary gear 38 having the same number of teeth as the sun gear 31 is fitted on each planting shaft 34, while the sun gear 31 and the planetary gear 38 are connected to the rotating case 30. An intermediate gear 39 that meshes at the same time is provided to constitute a gear train mechanism. When the rotating case 30 revolves only once counterclockwise in this gear train mechanism, each planting shaft 34 is moved clockwise. By rotating only once, each seedling plant 35 is reciprocated between the seedling platform 11 and the field scene 12 in a state in which the divided claws 36 maintain the posture toward the seedling platform 11. It is configured as follows.

  The sun gear 31, the planetary gear 38 and the intermediate gear 39 constituting the gear train mechanism are eccentric gears as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-20486 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-74413. The tip of the divided claw 36 in each seedling plant 35 is configured to draw an elliptical closed-loop motion trajectory 40 that is long in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. ing.

  In this case, the elliptical closed loop motion trajectory 40 that is long in the vertical direction at the tip of the split claw 36 of each seedling plant 35 is obtained when the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is set to 50 or 60 strains of standard planting. Is set to obtain an optimal planting state, that is, a planting state in which the digging holes before and after the planted seedling can be made as small as possible.

  The boss portion 35a of each seedling plant 35 is provided with an extrusion shaft 41 constituting an extrusion tool so as to slidably penetrate in an axial direction extending in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the divided claw 36, and its lower end. A pushing piece 42 having a U-shaped cross section is fixed so as to be close to the rear surface of the split claw 36, and the upper end of the pushing shaft 41 protrudes into the seedling plant 35. At the upper end, the tip of an extrusion lever 44 pivotally attached by a pin 43 so as to pivot in the vertical direction in the seedling plant 35, and the extrusion shaft 41 is moved downward by the extrusion lever 44. It moves forward in the direction toward the tip of the split claw 36, and the push-out shaft 41 moves backward so as to move backward from the tip of the split claw 36 toward the root by the upward rotation of the push-out lever 44. It is connected via a single 45.

  A spring means 46 for urging the push lever 44 downward is provided in the seedling plant 35, and the base end of the push lever 44 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the push operation cam 37. In contact with the rotation of the rotating case 30, the tip of the split claw 36 in each seedling plant 35 is moved to the bottom dead center at the lower limit of the reciprocating movement with the rotation of the rotating case 30. The pushing lever 44 is rotated downward by the pressing force of the spring means 46, and the seedlings 35 are moved from the bottom dead center of the reciprocating motion as the rotating case 30 rotates. When moving upward, the pushing lever 44 is configured to rotate upward against the spring means 46.

  Furthermore, the bottom plate of the seedling plant 35 is integrally provided with a boss portion 47 projecting into the seedling plant body 35, and a soft elastic body 48 such as rubber is detachable in the boss portion 47. The push lever 44 contacts the upper surface of the soft elastic body 48 at the end of its downward rotation.

  On the other hand, the non-uniform speed conversion unit 25 is configured as shown in FIGS.

  That is, the input shaft 27 and the output shaft 28 are aligned and supported in a gear case 49, and the switching shaft 50 is supported in parallel with the input shaft 27 and the output shaft 28. The output shaft 28 is interlocked so that the rotation of the switching shaft 50 is transmitted to the output shaft 28 by fitting gears 51 and 52 that mesh with each other. Between the input shafts 27, a constant speed transmission mechanism 53 for transmitting the rotation of the input shaft 27 to the switching shaft 50 in a constant speed state and a rotation of the input shaft 27 in a non-uniform speed state are transmitted to the switching shaft 50. An unequal speed transmission mechanism 54 for acceleration and an unequal speed transmission mechanism 55 for deceleration are provided.

  The constant speed transmission mechanism 53 is configured such that a circular gear 53a that is non-rotatably fitted to the input shaft 27 for spline fitting and a circular gear 53b that is rotatably fitted to the switching shaft 50 are always meshed with each other. On the other hand, the accelerating unequal speed transmission mechanism 54 and the deceleration unequal speed transmission mechanism 55 are connected to the input shaft 27 in a spline fitting manner so as not to rotate and to the switching shaft 50. The gears 54b and 55b, which are rotatably fitted, are always meshed with each other, and the circular gears 53a and 53b in the constant speed transmission mechanism 53 are gears 54a and 54b in the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 54 for acceleration. And the gears 55a and 55b in the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 55 for deceleration.

  The switching shaft 50 is provided with a key groove 50a extending in the axial direction thereof, and a sliding key 56 is slidably inserted into the key groove 50a, and the sliding key 56 is moved by moving in the axial direction. When engaged with the keyway of the circular gear 53b in the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, power is transmitted from the input shaft 27 to the switching shaft 50 via the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, and the sliding key 56 is moved in the axial direction thereof. , The power is transmitted from the input shaft 27 to the switching shaft 50 via the acceleration unequal speed transmission mechanism 54. When the slip key 56 is engaged with the key groove of the gear 55b of the speed reduction unequal speed transmission mechanism 55 by moving in the axial direction, the slip key 56 is inserted through the speed reduction unequal speed transmission mechanism 55. The operating shaft 50 from the shaft 27 configured to power transmission.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8, both the gears 54a and 54b in the acceleration inconstant speed transmission mechanism 54 are non-circular such as an eccentric gear in which the center O1 is eccentric from the center of each shaft by an appropriate dimension e. By constituting the gear, the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is accelerated when each seedling plant 35 is in a phase position around the bottom dead center in one rotation of the rotating case 30. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the gears 55a and 55b in the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 55 for deceleration are eccentrically decentered by an appropriate dimension e in the opposite direction to the center O2 from the center of each shaft. By configuring the rotating gear 30 to be a non-circular gear such as a core gear, the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is set to the phase around the bottom dead center of each seedling plant 35 in one rotation of the rotating case 30. Configured to decelerate in when in location.

  The gear case 49 in the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is provided with a switching operation shaft 57 with a grip so as to reciprocate in parallel with the switching shaft 50, and the switching operation shaft 57 is connected to the switching shaft 50. Is connected to the sliding key 56 via a ring body 58 slidably fitted to the switching shaft 50, so that the switching shaft 57 can be moved from the input shaft 27 to the switching shaft in the axial direction. 50 is a state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, a state of power transmission by the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 54 for acceleration, or a power transmission state by the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 55 for deceleration. It is configured to selectively switch to a state.

  Further, the switching operation shaft 57 is provided with a ball clutch 59 for temporarily holding the switching operation shaft 57 when the switching operation shaft 57 is in the three operation positions.

  In this configuration, with rotation (revolution) of the rotation case 30 in the direction of arrow B, the seedling plant is centered on the planting shaft 34 in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow B by the same rotation angle as the rotation angle of the revolution. Since each of the seedlings 35 is rotated, the split claws 36 revolve in the vertical direction with the divided claws 36 facing the direction of the seedling mount 11. When descending from top to bottom on the side facing the top surface of the seedling table 11, after dividing the seedling from the seedling mat on the seedling table 11 with the split claw 36 at the tip, The tip of the split claw 36 enters the farm scene 12 in the vicinity of the bottom dead center of the lower limit of lowering.

  At this time, the pushing lever 44 in the seedling plant 35 is rotated downward by the spring force of the spring means 46, so that the pushing piece 42 moves forward toward the tip of the split claw 36. One seedling at the tip of the split claw 36 is planted in the farm scene 12 so as to be pushed out.

  When the planting of the seedling is completed, the pushing piece 42 moves backward, and at the same time, the split claw 36 moves upward so as to come out of the field scene 12.

  And when this rice planting operation is carried out with a standard planting of 50 or 60 plants per 3.3 square meters, the rotational speed in the rotating case 30 is changed by the speed change operation in the inter- stock change mechanism 24. While the rotation speed at the time of standard planting is set, the non-constant speed conversion unit 25 is in a state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, so that the split claws 36 of the seedlings 35 in the rotation case 30 The running motion trajectory drawn by the tip becomes a curve 40a indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 when the strain is 50, and becomes a curve 40b indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 4 when the strain is 60. Can be performed in a state where the digging holes before and after the planted seedling can be made as small as possible.

  However, from this standard planting state, the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is increased by a shifting operation in the inter-shaft transmission mechanism 24 while the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is kept in power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53. Thus, when the planting strain per 3.3 square meters is densely planted more than the standard planting, the rotation speed of the revolution in the rotating case 30 is fast, so that the rotation in each seedling plant 35 is accelerated, and the divided claws 36 As the detachment from the farm scene 12 becomes faster, the forward dragging by the divided claws 36 becomes smaller, while the rearward mud of the divided claws 36 increases and the rearing of the planted seedlings is dug up. The hole gets bigger.

  Therefore, when the rotational speed of the rotary case 30 is increased to the rotational speed at the time of dense planting, the unequal speed conversion unit 25 is moved from the power transmission state by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53 to the unequal for deceleration. Switching to the state of power transmission by the speed transmission mechanism 55 is performed.

  As a result, the speed at which each seedling plant 35 rotates in the rotating case 30 becomes unequal and slow when the seedling plant 35 comes around the bottom dead center. The rise of the nail 36 from the farm scene 12 becomes slower than the case where the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is in a state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, so that the divided nail 36 in each seedling plant 35 4 is approximated to the curve 40b shown by the one-dot chain line or the curve 40a shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 and the rearward lifting of the mud by the divided claws 36 becomes small. Can be planted in a state close to the standard planting, that is, in a state where the digging holes before and after the planted seedling can be made as small as possible.

  Further, from the standard planting state, the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is slowed by a shifting operation in the inter-strain transmission mechanism 24 while the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is kept in the power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53. Therefore, when the number of planted plants per 3.3 square meters is less sparse than the standard planting, the rotation speed of the revolution in the rotating case 30 is slowed, so that the rotation in each seedling plant 35 is also slowed down, and the divided nail 36, the lifting of the mud from the farm scene 12 is delayed, so that the muddy soil splashing backward by the divided claws 36 is reduced, but the forward dragging by the divided claws 36 is increased, and a digging hole on the front side of the planted seedling is formed. growing.

  Therefore, when the rotational speed of the rotating case 30 is reduced to the rotational speed of loose planting, the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is made to transmit the inconstant speed transmission for acceleration from the state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53. Switching to the state of power transmission by the mechanism 54 is performed.

  As a result, the speed at which each seedling plant 35 rotates in the rotating case 30 becomes unequal, such that the speed when the seedling plant 35 comes near the bottom dead center is divided. Since the nail 36 is removed from the farm scene 12 more quickly than when the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is in a state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, the divided nail 36 in each seedling plant 35 is obtained. 4 is approximated to the curve 40b shown by the one-dot chain line or the curve 40a shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, and the forward dragging by the divided claws 36 is reduced. Can be performed in a state close to the standard planting, that is, in a state where the digging holes before and after the planted seedling can be made as small as possible.

  In this case, when the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 is operated to the inter-gear transmission mechanism 24, and the inter-gear transmission mechanism 24 is operated to the standard planting by the operation means, it is mechanically, electrically, or hydraulically linked thereto. Thus, the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 can be automatically operated in a state of power transmission by the constant speed transmission mechanism 53, and when the inter-shaft transmission mechanism 24 is densely planted by the operation means, mechanically or electrically Alternatively, the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 can be automatically operated in a state of power transmission by the inconstant speed transmission mechanism for deceleration 55 in conjunction with hydraulic pressure, and the inter-strain transmission mechanism 24 can be sparsely planted by the operation means. When operated, it is related to mechanically, electrically or hydraulically linked so that the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 can be automatically operated to the state of power transmission by the inconstant speed transmission mechanism 54 for acceleration. Constitution Alternatively, the inter-strain transmission mechanism 24 and the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 can be configured to be operated simultaneously by a single operating means. There is an advantage that significant improvement can be achieved and erroneous operation can be surely avoided.

  By the way, in the above-described embodiment, each of the constant velocity transmission mechanism 53, the acceleration unequal velocity transmission mechanism 54, and the acceleration unequal velocity transmission mechanism 55 in the unequal velocity conversion unit 25 is configured as a gear train. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the constant velocity transmission mechanism 53 has a configuration in which a chain is wound between a pair of circular sprockets. Each of the transmission mechanisms 55 can have a structure in which a chain is wound between a pair of non-circular sprockets such as eccentricity, and the switching means is not limited to the sliding key 56 in the above embodiment, but is also a clutch mechanism. Other switching means may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the switching shaft 50 in the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 may be replaced with the output shaft from the inconstant speed conversion unit 25 as it is, or the switching shaft 56 (or output). The gears 53b, 54b, 55b in the shaft) are non-rotatably fitted to the switching shaft 56 (or the output shaft), while the gears 53a, 54a, 55a in the input shaft 27 are rotated to the input shaft 27.
