Japanese Patent No. 2972599

  In such a conventional ground scraping work machine, when the first leveling body tilts downward by its own weight and the cultivated soil in the field after plowing by the rotary working unit rises and becomes higher, the first leveling body scrapes all of this cultivated soil. It is inevitable that it becomes difficult to level the ground. Further, when the second leveling body tries to move on the raised cultivated soil, an upward force acts on the second leveling body, and the second leveling body is biased upward by the biasing means. 2 The leveling ground is turned upward. As a result, there arises a problem that the entire field cannot be leveled and leveled.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and even if the cultivated soil after being cultivated by the rotary working unit is raised and raised, the cultivated soil can be leveled and leveled. The purpose is to provide a working machine.

  In order to solve such a problem, the present invention has the following features. One of the features is a work machine main body that rotatably supports a rotary working unit that performs tillage work, and a cover unit that is provided on the work machine main body and covers an upper part of the rotary work unit (for example, the cover unit 15 in the embodiment). A first leveling plate (for example, the apron 19 in the embodiment) supported so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction at the rear end portion of the cover portion, and pivoted in the vertical direction at the rear end portion of the first leveling plate. In a scraping work machine including a second leveling plate (for example, the leveler 21 in the embodiment) supported so as to be able to rotate, the second leveling plate is connected between the work implement main body and the second leveling plate. A link mechanism that operates in conjunction with each other is provided, and a damping means (for example, the oil damper 40 in the embodiment) that attenuates the force that rotates the second leveling plate is connected to the link mechanism.

  According to this feature, the rotary working unit is plowed by connecting the damping mechanism for attenuating the force for rotating the second leveling plate to the link mechanism provided between the work implement main body and the second leveling plate. After the cultivated soil of the farm field rises and rises, the first leveling plate and the second leveling plate are moved by the force received when the first leveling plate and the second leveling plate connected to the first leveling plate try to move up the cultivated soil. Even if it tries to rotate upward, the upward rotation of these leveling plates is suppressed by the damping means. For this reason, while the inclination angle of the slanting posture of the first leveling board is maintained, the second leveling board is maintained in a substantially horizontal state, and the leveling is performed while scraping the cultivated soil raised by the leveling board, and the second leveling board is set. The ground surface can be leveled by the ground plane.

One of the characteristics is that the damping means is a damper.
According to this feature, by using the damper as the damping means, the force received from the cultivated soil in the field can be effectively attenuated via the first leveling plate, the second leveling plate, and the link mechanism.

In addition, one of the characteristics is that the rotation attenuation direction of the second leveling plate by the attenuation means is both the upper and lower directions of the second leveling plate.
According to this feature, the second leveling plate and the first leveling plate connected to the second leveling plate have an upward force by setting the rotational damping direction of the second leveling plate by the damping means to be the upper and lower directions of the second leveling plate. Even if it is received, this force can be attenuated, and even if the second leveling plate and the first leveling plate connected thereto are rotated downward, this rotation can be suppressed. For this reason, since the inclination angle of the slanting posture of the first leveling board is maintained and the second leveling board is always maintained in the horizontal state, even if there is unevenness in the field, Can be leveled.

One of the features is that the attenuation means can selectively attenuate the rotation of the second leveling plate in either the upward direction or the downward direction.
According to this feature, the damping means is capable of selectively attenuating the rotation of the second leveling plate in either the upward direction or the downward direction, so that the second leveling plate and the second leveling plate connected thereto are provided. It is possible to select a direction in which the followability of the vertical rotation of one leveling board is dulled. For this reason, the direction which makes the followability of a 1st leveling board and a 2nd leveling board blunt according to the condition of a field can be chosen, and the function of an attenuation means can be exhibited appropriately.

  According to the plowing work machine according to the present invention, by having the above characteristics, even if the cultivated soil in the field after being cultivated by the rotary working unit is raised and raised, the cultivated soil is leveled and leveled. Can be provided.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a scraping work machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Note that. For convenience of explanation, the directions of the arrows shown in FIG. 1A (side view) and FIG. 1B (partial rear view) will be described below as the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the scraping work machine 1 is provided at the rear part of the traveling machine body 90 at the front part of the work machine body 3 having the main frame 4 extending in the left-right direction. A top mast 7 connected to a three-point link connecting mechanism (not shown) and a lower link connecting portion are provided, and are attached to the rear portion of the traveling machine body 90 so as to be movable up and down. A gear box 9 having an input shaft 9a projecting forward is provided at the central portion in the left-right direction of the main frame 4, and power is input from the PTO shaft of the traveling machine body 90 via a power transmission means such as a universal joint to the input shaft 9a. To be communicated to.

  A chain transmission case 11 is suspended from the left end portion of the main frame 4, and a side frame is suspended from the right end portion of the main frame 4 so as to face the chain transmission case 11. Rotary work in which a transmission mechanism is provided on the left side of the main frame 4 connected to the chain transmission case 11 and in the chain transmission case 11, and a plurality of tilling claws are attached between the chain transmission case 11 and the lower end of the side frame. The part 13 is rotatably provided. Then, the power transmitted to the input shaft 9a is transmitted to the transmission mechanism in the main frame 4 and the chain transmission case 11 through the gear box 9 to rotate the rotary working unit 13 in a predetermined direction.

  The upper side of the rotary working unit 13 is covered with a shield cover 15 that constitutes a part of the work machine body 3, and side covers 17 are provided at both left and right ends of the shield cover 15. A front end portion of the apron 19 is attached to the rear end portion of the shield cover 15 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and the apron 19 extends obliquely downward. The rear end portion 19a of the apron 19 is formed in a substantially straight line shape in the left-right direction, and flattens the cultivated soil surface. A leveler 21 is attached to the rear end of the apron 19 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and the lower surface of the leveler 21 is grounded to level the cultivated soil surface. An extension leveler 23 is rotatably attached to an outer end portion of the leveler 21 in the left-right direction, and the working range of the leveler 21 can be expanded.

  A link mechanism 30 that operates in conjunction with the vertical movement of the apron 19 is provided between the upper surface of the shield cover 15 and the upper surface of the leveler 21 at the center side of the left and right ends of the work machine body 3. The link mechanism 30 includes a first arm portion 31 pivotally connected to the rear end portion of the support plate 16 attached to the upper surface of the shield cover 15, and an upper end portion pivoted to the rear end portion of the first arm portion 31. The second arm portion 32 is pivotally connected to the leveler 21. The front end portion of the first arm portion 31 of the link mechanism 30 may be attached to a portion other than the upper surface of the shield cover 15, for example, the main frame 4 of the work machine body 3. Further, the link mechanism 30 may be a link mechanism for locking the leveler 21 in a state where it is hung downward when performing the earthing work.

  An oil damper 40 is attached between the upper surface of the rear end portion of the first arm portion 31 of the link mechanism 30 and the main frame 4. The oil damper 40 is disposed in a state where the rod side end portion is pivotally connected to the first arm portion 31 and the bottom side end portion is pivotally connected to the main frame 4 and extends in the front-rear direction. The oil damper 40 is configured so that a damping direction can be selected. The oil damper 40 can be selected from a direction in which the oil damper 40 extends, a direction in which the oil damper 40 contracts, and a direction in which the oil damper 40 expands and contracts. Selection of the damping direction of the oil damper 40 is made possible by operating an operation switch (not shown), and the operation switch is provided in the driver's seat of the traveling machine body 90. Note that the operation switch may be provided on the side of the scraping work machine 1 as long as it is within the reach of the operator who has boarded the driver's seat. Further, the damper is not limited to the oil damper 40 but may be a gas pressure type or a gas pressure and oil pressure.

  Next, the operation of the scraping work machine 1 when performing the scraping work with the scraping work machine 1 configured as described above will be described. It is assumed that the direction of attenuation of the oil damper 40 is selected in both directions of expansion and contraction. First, the case where the cultivated soil after plowing by the rotary working unit 13 rises and becomes higher will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (side view), the operation switch is operated so that the damping direction of the oil damper 40 is in both expansion and contraction directions, the power of the traveling machine body 90 is transmitted to the input shaft 9a, and the rotary working unit 13 is set in a predetermined manner. Rotate in the direction. Then, when the traveling machine body 90 is caused to travel forward and the scraping work machine 1 is moved forward, the rotary working unit 13 cultivates the cultivated soil in the field, and the cultivated soil cultivated by the apron 19 is leveled. Here, when the cultivated soil S rises and rises, the apron 19 and the leveler 21 connected to the apron 19 cannot scrape all the raised portions of the cultivated soil S, and the apron 19 has a rearward force. Is received from the cultivated soil S and is going to rotate backward.

  Further, when the leveler 21 tries to rise above the raised cultivated soil S, an upward force acts on the lower surface of the leveler 21 from the cultivated soil, and the leveler 21 tends to rotate upward. However, since the leveler 21 is connected to the oil damper 40 via the link mechanism 30 and the apron 19 is connected to the oil damper 40 via the leveler 21 and the link mechanism 30, the oil damper 40 is in this reduction direction. A damping force acts on the movement of the oil damper 40, and the oil damper 40 suppresses the upward rotation of the apron 19 and the leveler 21. Accordingly, the inclined angle of the apron 19 is maintained, the lower surface of the leveler 21 is maintained in a substantially horizontal direction, and the cultivated soil S is scraped and leveled by the apron 19 and the leveler 21, and is leveled by the leveler 21. Flattened. For this reason, even if the cultivated soil S formed in the field is formed, it can be scraped off to level the surface.

  Next, the case where the cultivated soil surface after being cultivated by the rotary working unit 13 is recessed will be described. As shown in FIG. 3 (side view), the scraper working machine 1 moves forward with the rotary working unit 13 rotated in a predetermined direction, and the rotary working unit 13 cultivates the cultivated soil in the field. May be formed. In such a case, when the length of the concave portion 43 in the front-rear direction is long, the cultivated soil staying on the surface side of the apron 19 lower portion gradually disappears as the work machine advances, and the entire concave portion 43 cannot be filled with the cultivated soil. Occurs. In such a case, when the working machine further advances and the leveler 21 moves into the recess 43 and the leveler 21 tilts downward due to its own weight, the tiller in the recess 43 is dug up by the leveler 21, and eventually The recess remains in the field and the field cannot be leveled.

  However, the oil damper 40 is connected to the leveler 21 via the link mechanism 30. Since the oil damper 40 has a damping force against the extension in the extending direction, the oil damper 40 is rotated downward by the oil damper 40. Suppress. Therefore, the lower surface of the leveler 21 is maintained in a substantially horizontal direction, and the cultivated soil scraped off by the apron front end portion and buried in the recess 43 is leveled without being dug up by the leveler 21. For this reason, even if the recessed part 43 is formed in the field surface, this can be filled and the surface can be leveled.

  In this way, when the direction in which the damping force of the oil damper 40 acts is both the expansion and contraction directions of the cylinder, even if the cultivated soil S that rises and rises in the field is formed, the cultivated soil can be scraped and leveled. Moreover, even if the recessed part 43 is formed in a farm field, this can be filled and leveled. For this reason, it is possible to make the entire field uniform.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the direction in which the damping force of the oil damper 40 acts is the both directions of expansion and contraction of the cylinder, but the direction in which this damping force acts is selected as the cylinder extension direction or the cylinder reduction direction. May be. As described above, when the direction in which the damping force of the oil damper 40 acts is selected as one of the expansion and contraction directions, the rotational damping direction of the leveler 21 can be set to either the top or bottom direction. For this reason, use of the oil damper 40 according to the situation of the field becomes possible, and the function of the oil damper 40 can be exhibited appropriately.
