In the conventional rotary tiller, the upper side of the rotary machine frame is connected to the connecting device, and the rotary tiller is provided at the lower part of the rotary machine frame. When down-cut plowing rotating from the top to the bottom on the side, a force in a direction to be pushed forward acts on the lower connecting portion, and a force in a direction to be pulled rearward acts on the upper connecting portion ( The reverse is true for up-cut tilling where the tilling claw rotates from bottom to top on the front side of the tilling trajectory).
On the other hand, in a state where the rotary tiller is connected to the connecting device and is in the working posture, the pair of upper and lower elastic bodies are both positioned above the lower connecting portion. A large load is applied to the lower elastic body with respect to the elastic body, and the lower elastic body and the like are more elastically deformed than the upper elastic body. There is.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the rotary tiller which aimed at the improvement of the vibration absorption capability of the elastic body which absorbs the vibration propagated from the said rotary tiller to the tractor side.

  The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the technical problem includes a rotary machine frame having an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part connected to a connecting device mounted on a tractor, and the lower connecting part is The connecting bracket is provided on a connecting bracket provided on the rotary machine frame, and is configured by a pin pivotally supported by the connecting device so as to be rotatable about a left-right axis. The connecting bracket is fixed to the rotary machine frame side. A state in which the first member and the second member provided with the lower connecting portion are provided, and the first member and the second member are in a working posture with the rotary machine frame connected to the connecting device. In the above-described structure, they are connected via an elastic body located in a vertically distributed manner with the lower connecting portion as a boundary.

More specifically, the rotary machine frame includes a pair of left and right support arms projecting outward from the left and right sides of the gear case, and a pair of connecting brackets are provided on the left and right support arms.

By sandwiching the mounting wall with each plate, the first member and the second member are connected.

  According to the present invention, in the state where the rotary machine frame is connected to the connecting device and is in the working posture, the upper and lower elastic bodies are located in a vertically distributed manner with the lower connecting portion as a boundary. In the case of cut plowing, the lower elastic body is largely pressed by the lower side of the first member as compared to the upper elastic body, but the second member is pivotally connected around the lower connecting portion. Therefore, when the lower elastic body is largely pressed by the lower side of the first member, the lower side of the second member is pressed by the lower elastic body, and the second member slightly rotates around the lower connecting portion. The upper elastic body is pressed on the upper side of the second member, and the external force acting on the upper and lower elastic bodies from the rotary machine frame side during tilling does not act on the upper and lower elastic bodies greatly.

The first member 29A is provided with a connecting pin 83 that pivotally connects the mounting portion 24b on the rear end side of the lower link 24 so as to protrude outward in the left-right direction, and the locking member 32 is provided on the second member 29B. It is pivotally supported.
A pair of connecting means 84 for connecting the first member 29A and the second member 29B is provided in the front-rear direction, and the elastic body 43 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is externally attached to the outer side of the elastic body 43 so as to be fixed. The outer collar 85 is mainly composed of an inner collar 86 concentrically fitted and fixed inside the elastic body 43, and a bolt 87 and a nut 88.

The outer collar 85 is fitted into a mounting hole 89 formed in the second member 29B and is fixed to the inner surface of the mounting hole 89, and the inner collar 86 projects from the elastic body 43 to both sides in the axial direction. One end side in the axial direction of 86 is in contact with the first member 29A, and the other end side in the axial direction of the inner collar 86 is inserted through an insertion hole 90 formed in the second member 29B.
The bolt 87 is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 91 and the inner collar 86 formed in the first member 29A, and the nut 88 is screwed into the front end side of the bolt 87 and tightened, thereby fixing the first member 29A and the first member 29A. The two members 29 </ b> B are connected via an elastic body 43.

The insertion hole 90 formed in the second member 29B is formed in a size that does not hinder the movement of the second member 29B caused by the deformation of the elastic body 43.
9 to 11, the same components as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
As described above, by providing the elastic body 43 to the three-point link consisting of the top link 23 and the lower link 24 or the hitch frame 25, even if the work implement to be mounted does not have the elastic body 43, the vibration-proof effect is achieved. There is an advantage that there is.

FIG. 12 shows an example in which a coil spring 43 is used as the elastic body 43 that absorbs vibration propagating from the rotary tiller 1 side to the tractor side.
In the structure shown in FIG. 12, the pivot connecting portion 92 provided on the upper rear side of the second member 21B of the connecting bracket 21 is shifted to the support portion 93 provided on the upper side of the first member 21A. It is pivotally connected so as to be rotatable around a direction axis.
Further, a contact portion 94 is provided at the front upper portion of the first member 21A, and the second member 21B is positioned on the lower side of the contact portion 94 and contacts the contact portion 94. This section 95 is provided.

The coil spring 43 is interposed in a compressed manner between a spring receiving portion 96 and a contact portion 94 provided on the second member 21 </ b> B so as to face each other above the contact portion 94.
In the case shown in FIG. 12, in a normal case where rotary tillage is not performed, the contact portion 94 is in contact with the contact portion 95 as shown in FIG.
When the load is generated by down-cut tilling, as shown in FIG. 12B, a force that moves forward to the lower part of the rotary machine frame 4 by the down-cut tilling of the rotary tiller 5 is applied. The contact portion 94 is slightly separated upward from the contacted portion 95 against the biasing force of the coil spring.

The vibration generated by the rotary tiller 5 is absorbed by the expansion / contraction operation of the coil spring 43.
In the case shown in FIG. 12, the use of a coil spring as the elastic body 43 has the advantage that it does not deteriorate like rubber due to secular change.
