Description

  The present invention relates to an agricultural work vehicle equipped with an operation arm at a front end portion of a traveling vehicle body.

As an agricultural work vehicle as described above, a long operation arm whose upper end position is higher than the upper end position of a front cover (such as an engine bonnet) that covers the steering shaft is extended to the front, In addition, there is a storage posture that is erected along the front cover so that the posture can be switched around a fulcrum set at the front end of the traveling vehicle body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-102218 A

  In the above prior art, a long operating arm is installed at the front end of the traveling vehicle body so that the posture can be switched. If the operating arm is switched to the operating posture, the pressing operation for suppressing the lifting of the front side of the vehicle body, which is likely to occur when traveling over the heel, can be easily performed with a light operating force.

  On the other hand, since the operation arm is long and switchable in posture, in order to enable left and right guidance operations using the operation arm, high strength that can withstand the guidance operation is required. Since it is necessary to secure in a fulcrum part etc., the complexity of a structure and the increase in cost will be caused. In addition, since the operating arm is long and greatly extends forward in its operating posture, it is difficult to guide the vehicle body using the operating arm on a narrow path. Furthermore, since the operating arm is movable so that the pulling operation can be switched from the acting posture to the retracted posture, and in that acting posture, the lifting operation on the front side of the vehicle body using the operating arm cannot be performed. This makes it impossible to operate the vehicle body with a lift.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent operability in which a pressing operation and a guiding operation from the ground side of a vehicle body using an operation arm can be satisfactorily performed while simplifying a configuration and reducing costs. .

  As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, in the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention, an operation arm that enables a guidance operation from the ground side of the traveling vehicle body is fixed to a front end portion of the traveling vehicle body. In addition to being equipped, the upper end position of the operation arm is configured to be lower than the upper end position of the front cover that covers the steering shaft erected on the front portion of the traveling vehicle body.

  According to this configuration, when traveling over the heel that causes the vehicle to travel with the driver getting off the ground, it is likely to occur when traveling over the heel by using an operation arm that is fixedly installed at the front end of the traveling body. It is possible to satisfactorily perform the pressing operation for suppressing the lifting of the front side of the vehicle body and the guidance operation for guiding the vehicle body to the left and right from the ground side.

  In addition, the operation arm is fixedly equipped with a relatively short length so that the vehicle body can be guided using the operation arm even in a narrow path, etc. By enabling the lifting operation on the front side of the vehicle body used, it is possible to perform a guidance operation that lifts the front side of the vehicle body and makes it easier, and the strength required for these operations is relatively simple. It can be secured inexpensively with a simple structure.

  Therefore, while simplifying the configuration and reducing the cost, it is possible to improve the operability in which the pressing operation and the guiding operation of the vehicle body using the operation arm from the ground side can be satisfactorily performed even in a narrow area.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to the first aspect, the operating arm is configured such that the length in the left-right direction is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the front cover. It is formed.

  According to this configuration, even when the operating arm is in close contact with the front cover and the entire length of the vehicle body is shortened, the gripping portion of the operating arm can be secured, and the vehicle body can be pressed from the ground side using the operating arm. Good operation and guidance.

  In addition, since the overall length of the vehicle body can be shortened, the vehicle body guidance operation using the operation arm in a narrow path or the like is further facilitated.

  Further, the operation arm can be used also as a protective frame for preventing contact with other objects such as a bag of the front cover.

  Accordingly, it is possible to further improve the operability from the ground side, and it is possible to suppress damage due to the contact of the front cover with another object without incurring a complicated configuration and an increase in cost.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to the first or second aspect, a balance weight detachably attached to the operation arm is provided.

  According to this configuration, the balance weight can be easily attached and detached as compared with the case where the balance weight is attached to the front cover or the bottom of the body frame. Therefore, it is possible to easily cope with improvement of the rear structure such as addition of a working device to the rear of the vehicle body.

  Moreover, since the operating arm is fixedly mounted on the front end of the traveling vehicle body, there is no need to reinforce the balance weight so that it can be attached and detached. Since the balance weight comes to be located at the most distant position, the balance function can be effectively exhibited while adopting a relatively lightweight balance weight. By adopting a lightweight one, the weight of the entire vehicle body can be suppressed, and the operability of the vehicle body from the ground side using the operation arm can be secured.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability when adjusting the balance of the vehicle body without complicating the configuration and increasing the cost, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in operability from the ground due to an increase in the weight of the vehicle body.

  In the invention according to claim 4 of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the engine is arranged at a position rearward of the front axle in the traveling vehicle body.

  Further, since the engine is separated from the operation arm, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the operation environment due to the radiant heat and noise from the engine when the vehicle body is operated using the operation arm.

  Accordingly, it is possible to further improve the guidance operability from the ground side, and to improve the operating environment when operating from the ground side.

  In the invention according to claim 5 of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 4, a transmission case is provided on the rear axle side of the traveling vehicle body.

  According to this configuration, since the transmission case is provided on the rear axle side of the traveling vehicle body, the center of gravity of the vehicle body is rearward compared to the case where the transmission case is provided on the front axle side of the traveling vehicle body, and accordingly, the operation arm It is easy to perform a guidance operation of the vehicle body using the, particularly a guidance operation in which the front side of the vehicle body is lifted and made to feel like it is.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8, a spare seedling support frame 57 that supports a spare seedling table 56 on which a spare seedling is placed is connected to the rear upper portion of the seat frame 44. The preliminary seedling support frame 57 extends from the both ends of the connecting portion 58 connected to the seat frame 44 to the front and from the both ends of the connecting portion 58 to the front, and further extends upward from the extending end. It is composed of a pipe material or the like bent so as to have a pair of left and right L-shaped extending portions 59 to be protruded, and two preliminary seedling stands 56 are vertically spaced apart from each other by an extension portion 59 on the left side thereof. A single preliminary seedling stand 56 is supported by the right extension 59.

  Each of the spare seedling stands 56 is configured to be switchable between a placement posture that extends laterally outward from the preliminary seedling support frame 57 and a retracted posture that stands up along the preliminary seedling support frame 57. 1 is arranged so as to be located on the lateral side of the driver seat 45 in FIG.

  Note that reference numeral 60 in FIG. 2 denotes a recoil knob for starting the engine disposed at the right front portion of the driver's seat 45 in step 49 in consideration of the lifting operability at the time of starting the engine. Further, in step 49, the left lateral side portion of the driver's seat 45 is formed on a flat surface that can be used as an auxiliary step for supplying spare seedlings to the seedling mounting base 23 of the seedling planting device 4. When refueling the fuel tank 46 disposed behind the driver's seat 45, the fuel tank 46 can be used as a temporary placement table for temporarily placing a replenishment tank (not shown).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 9, the support base 27 is fixedly equipped with an operation arm 61 that enables a guidance operation from the ground side of the traveling vehicle body 1. It is made of a pipe material that is bent in a U-shape and is substantially L-shaped in side view, and its length (width) W1 in the left-right direction is longer than the length (width) W2 in the left-right direction of the front cover 33. The front and rear sides of the front cover 33 are set so that the grip 62 is positioned in front of the support base 27 and the upper end of the grip 62 is positioned lower than the vertical middle position of the front cover 33. Both ends 63 of the direction are bolted to the corresponding side surface of the support base 27.

  In other words, in the case of traveling over the heel that causes the vehicle to travel with the driver getting off the ground, if the operating arm 61 fixed to the front end of the traveling vehicle body 1 is used, the vehicle body that is likely to occur during traveling over the heel. The pressing operation that suppresses the lifting of the front side and the guiding operation that guides the vehicle body to the left and right can be performed satisfactorily from the ground side.

  In addition, the operation arm 61 can be used for guidance operation of the vehicle body using the operation arm 61 even in a narrow path by fixing the operation arm 61 with the extension length relatively short. It can be performed well without causing inconvenience such as contact with an object, and the front side of the vehicle body can be lifted and lifted by enabling the operation of lifting the front side of the vehicle body using the operation arm 61. Guiding operations can be performed well, and the strength required for these operations can be secured at a low cost with a relatively simple structure.

  Further, the length (width) W1 of the operation arm 61 in the left-right direction is made longer than the length (width) W2 of the front cover 33 in the left-right direction, so that the space between the grip portion 62 of the operation arm 61 and the front cover 33 is increased. Even if the front-rear distance is reduced to shorten the overall length L1 of the vehicle body, the space between the grip portion 62 and the front cover 33 can be widened. The possibility of getting in the way can be avoided. Further, the operation arm 61 can effectively function as a protective frame that prevents contact with other objects such as a bag of the front cover 33.

  A vehicle body frame 64 is configured by the front axle case 5, the main frame 6, the transmission case 7, the support base 27, the operation arm 61, and the like that are coupled in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in this rice transplanter, the driver's seat 45 and the engine 8 are arranged on the front / rear center Pa of a vehicle body frame 64 having a front / rear length L2 extending from the front end of the operation arm 61 to the rear end of the transmission case 7. Further, the transmission case 7 and the fuel tank 46 are disposed on the front and rear center Pb of the vehicle body total length L1 from the front end of the traveling vehicle body 1 (front end of the operation arm 61) to the rear end of the seedling planting device 4 (rear end of the planting mechanism 24). In addition, as a rice transplanter, a plurality of spare seedling stands 56 are provided on the left and right extending portions 59 extending forward from the connecting portion 58 connected to the rear upper portion of the seat frame 44. While being able to reduce the size and improve the workability by expanding the front and lower field of view, when the driver is seated on the driver's seat 45, the weight of the driver is taken into consideration. A front-rear balance can be obtained, and when the driver guides the vehicle body using the operation arm 61 from the ground side, the driver moves away from the driver seat 45 so that the center of gravity of the vehicle body is appropriately rearward. Therefore, it is easy to perform the guidance operation of the vehicle body using the operation arm 61, in particular, the guidance operation with the front side of the vehicle body lifted.

  Further, since the engine 8 is separated from the operation arm 61, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the operation environment due to the radiant heat and noise from the engine 8 during the guidance operation of the vehicle body using the operation arm 61.

  Furthermore, when the preliminary seedling stands 56 are positioned on the left and right sides of the driver seat 45, it is easy to get on and off the side of the traveling vehicle body 1 or from the front.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 7, the fuel tank 46 is integrally formed with a pair of protrusions 65 extending in the front-rear direction so as to sandwich a fuel supply portion 66 formed at the upper left portion thereof. A rearward leaning posture in which the refueling portion 66 faces rearward upward at a position behind the engine 8 that does not overlap with the engine 8 in plan view and at a relatively low position where the bottom portion overlaps with the top of the engine 8 in side view As a result, when the fuel tank 46 is disposed above the engine 8 while ensuring a water head difference with a carburetor (not shown), the driver seat 45 disposed above the engine 8 is generated. It is possible to avoid an increase in the center of gravity due to an increase in the height position and an increase in the center of gravity due to the fuel tank 46 being arranged at a high position not overlapping with the engine 8 in a side view. Qualitative improvement can be achieved, and even if gasoline is overflowing from the refueling section 66, it is an inexpensive configuration that only forms a pair of protrusions 65 integrally with the fuel tank 46. Gasoline can be prevented from flowing to the engine 8 side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 9 to 11, the rice transplanter is equipped with a balance weight 67 that can be attached to and detached from the operation arm 61. Compared with the case where the balance weight 67 is attached to the inside of the front cover 33, the bottom of the body frame 64, or the like, the measures against the increase in the rear weight due to the replacement of the work equipment with a large number of work strips or the heavy field work equipment. Therefore, the front-rear balance can be easily improved.

  In addition, since the operating arm 61 is fixedly installed at the front end of the traveling vehicle body 1, it is not necessary to reinforce the balance weight 67 in order to enable the attachment / detachment of the balance weight 67. Since the balance weight 67 is located at the most distant position on the front side, the balance function can be effectively exhibited while adopting a relatively light weight as the balance weight 67. Since a relatively light weight can be adopted as the balance weight 67, the weight of the entire vehicle body can be suppressed, and the operability of the vehicle body from the ground side using the operation arm 61 can be secured.

  The balance weight 67 can be attached to and detached from the operation arm 61 by engaging and disengaging the operation arm 61 with respect to the pair of left and right fitting recesses 68 formed on the left and right sides of the balance weight 67 so as to correspond to the operation arm 61 and the pair of left and right fitting recesses. This can be easily done by attaching / detaching the retaining bolt 69 to / from the balance weight 67 to prevent the operation arm 61 from being detached from the balance 68.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 9, and 12 to 14, brackets 70 are provided on the left and right ends of the front portion of the support base 27, and each of the brackets 70 has a vertical orientation for attaching an adjacent marker. A support shaft 71 is provided so as to be rotatable around its axis, and the support shaft 71 is fitted with a coil spring 72 that pushes and urges the support shaft 71 with respect to the bracket 70 on the upper portion thereof, and on the lower portion thereof. A through-hole 73 for inserting the adjacent marker is formed, and the base end portion 75 of the adjacent marker 74 is inserted into the through-hole 73 so that the pair of left and right adjacent markers 74 are supported on the front end portion of the traveling vehicle body 1. 71 can be swung back and forth around the axis of 71, can be swung up and down around the axis of the base end portion 75, and can be equipped to be able to hold friction in each swinging posture. Each adjacent marker 74 has a tip 76 that is outside the vehicle body. It can be easily switched and held between a lowering posture and a retracted posture in which the distal end portion 76 stands up in the vehicle body, and the position of the distal end portion 76 in the operational posture is determined by the distal end portion 76 sandwiching the front wheel 14. The maximum position (next to the position where the separation distance with respect to the adjacent seedlings that have been planted is maximized) positioned right next to the base end portion 75, and the front end portion 76 is positioned in front of the base end portion 75, on the outer surface side of the front wheel 14. It can be adjusted and maintained between the adjacent minimum positions (positions that minimize the separation distance with respect to the adjacent seedlings that have already been planted), and the distal end portion 76 can be locked to the operation arm 61 in the retracted posture. It has become.

  In addition, by receiving the proximal end portion 75 of the adjacent marker 74 at the front end of each bracket 70, the distal end portion 76 of the adjacent marker 74 is displaced rearward from the maximum position located directly beside the proximal end portion 75. The receiving portion 77 for blocking is bent downward, so that when the adjacent marker 74 is hooked on a hook or the like, the tip 76 is displaced rearward from the maximum position. The entanglement of the marker 74 on the front wheel 14 can be avoided.
