Description

  The present invention relates to a paddy field work machine in which a work device is connected to a traveling machine body so as to be movable up and down, such as a ride type rice transplanter and a ride type direct seeding machine.

  In a rice transplanter as an example of a paddy field work machine, a seedling planting device as a work device is connected via a link mechanism so that it can be driven up and down by a hydraulic cylinder as an actuator, and is provided at the center in the width direction of the seedling planting device. The sensor float is supported so as to be swingable up and down around the rear fulcrum, and the machine is connected to the hydraulic control valve as the control means via the operation member connected to the front portion of the sensor float and the operation wire linked thereto. In some cases, hydraulic cylinders are controlled so that the ground height of the seedling planting device is maintained at a set height. That is, the sensor float functions as a grounding body that can move up and down relatively with respect to the work device, and the operation member and the operation wire constitute an interlocking operation member that links the sensor float and the hydraulic control valve. . And the interlocking operation member was provided in the state which connected the lower end part to the machine float lateral direction center vicinity vicinity of the sensor float, and extended upwards (for example, refer patent document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-284412

  In the above conventional configuration, the lower end portion of the interlocking operation member that links the grounding body (sensor float) and the control means is connected to the vicinity of the center of the grounding body in the lateral direction of the machine body and extends upward. It passes through a narrow portion sandwiched between a pair of left and right lower links in the link mechanism.

  As a result, when performing a work such as assembling the interlocking operation member or a maintenance work such as inspection and repair, there is a disadvantage that the operator's body interferes with the link mechanism and the work becomes difficult.

  Therefore, it is desirable to make it easy to perform assembly work, maintenance work, etc. in the paddy field work machine in which the interlocking operation member provided for controlling the ground height of the work device is interlocked with the grounding body. It was rare.

The characteristic configuration of the paddy field working machine according to the present invention is as follows:
A working device is connected to the rear portion of the traveling machine body through a link mechanism so as to be movable up and down, an actuator that can drive the working device up and down, a control unit that controls the actuator, and a central part of the working device in the lateral direction of the machine body. A grounding body that is positioned and follows the grounding device and is movable up and down relatively with respect to the work device, and is linked to the grounding body and extends upward from a link point to the grounding body and linked to the control means. An interlocking operation member, and the interlocking operation member is provided on the outer side in the lateral direction of the fuselage of the link mechanism.

  According to the present invention, the grounding body and the control means are interlocked and linked via the interlocking operation member that is linked and linked to the grounding body and extends upward from the link location with respect to the grounding body, and is controlled based on the relative vertical movement of the grounding body. The actuator is controlled by the means. And since the interlocking operation member is provided on the outer side in the body width direction of the link mechanism, the interlocking operation member can be deployed in a state where the interval between the link operation member and the member constituting the link mechanism is widened.

  In other words, if the link mechanism is provided with a plurality of link members that are spaced apart in the lateral direction, one of the plurality of link members in the lateral direction of the body further than the link member located at one end of the lateral direction of the lateral direction of the body. The interlocking operation member will be provided in a state located on the outside of the side, and the gap between the link mechanism and the member constituting the link mechanism is widened in a widely open part on the one side outside in the width direction of the fuselage. It becomes possible to deploy the interlocking operation member in the state.

  As a result, the interval between the interlocking operation member and the member constituting the link mechanism is widened, so that when the assembling work or the maintenance work is performed, the operator's body interferes with the link mechanism and it is difficult to perform those work. Such disadvantages can be avoided.

  Therefore, in the paddy field work machine in which the interlocking operation member provided for controlling the height of the working device with respect to the ground is linked to the grounding body, the assembly work and the maintenance work can be easily performed.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the interlocking operation member is provided on the outer side in the lateral direction of the fuselage of the grounding body.

  According to this configuration, the interlocking operation member is provided at a position closer to the outer side in the body width direction than the one end portion in the body width direction of the grounding body. By shifting the position of the interlocking operation member along the lateral width direction of the aircraft in this way, power is transmitted from the various members located on the center side of the lateral width direction of the aircraft, for example, the members constituting the link mechanism or the working body side to the work device. Therefore, the interlocking operation member is less likely to interfere with members and the like constituting the transmission mechanism.

  Therefore, it is possible to make assembly work and maintenance work easier.

  In the present invention, a fertilizer supplying device for supplying fertilizer to the field is provided at the rear of the traveling machine body, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting engine power to the fertilizer apparatus is provided on the outer side in the lateral width direction of the link mechanism. Preferably.

  According to this configuration, the power of the engine is transmitted to the fertilizer through the transmission mechanism, and fertilizer is supplied to the field by the fertilizer. And since the transmission mechanism for transmitting motive power to a fertilizer application apparatus is provided in the body width direction other side outer side of a link mechanism, it arrange | positions in the state which made the space | interval between the members which comprise a link mechanism wide. be able to.

  As a result, the transmission mechanism and the link mechanism are less likely to come into contact with each other, and assembly work and maintenance work can be easily performed.

  In the present invention, the working device is provided with a leveling float extending over substantially the entire width in the horizontal width direction, the leveling float including a front overhanging portion on the center side in the horizontal width direction as the grounding body and a rear side of the front overhanging portion. It is preferable that the float main body portion located at a position extending in the horizontal width direction of the working device is integrally formed.

  According to this configuration, the ground leveling float is integrally formed with the front projecting portion that projects forward from the center in the lateral width direction of the float main body portion that extends over substantially the entire width of the working device. That is, since it is configured by one leveling float, the configuration can be simplified as compared with the configuration including a plurality of leveling floats arranged side by side.

  Further, since the leveling float is integrally formed over substantially the entire width in the width direction, even in a soft field, only a part of the width direction sinks greatly, and there is little possibility that the left and right tilt posture will fluctuate greatly. It becomes easy to maintain the ground parallel posture. As a result, even if the interlocking operation member is provided on the outer side in the lateral direction of the body of the forward projecting portion that functions as a grounding body, it is possible to accurately detect the vertical movement displacement relative to the work device. .

  Therefore, the ground posture of the working device is stable and the paddy field work can be performed satisfactorily, and the lifting / lowering control of the working device associated with the vertical movement of the forward projecting portion can be performed satisfactorily.

The fertilizer stored in the fertilizer hopper 22 is fed out by a set amount.

  Therefore, the operation rod 29 extending rearward and upward from the lateral side portion of the front and rear intermediate portion of the mission case 15 functions as a transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the engine 20 to the fertilizer 14, and as shown in FIG. The operation rod 29 is provided on the left outer side of the link mechanism 5 (an example of the outer side on the other side in the body width direction). In other words, the pair of left and right lower links 5b and 5b are provided in a state of being located at a location spaced outwardly from the left side of the left side lower link 5b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the seedling planting device 6 includes a rectangular tube-shaped main frame 35 extending in the width direction, a feed case 36 connected to the middle portion of the main frame 35 in the width direction, and a main frame 35. A pair of left and right planting transmission cases 37 that are connected and extend rearward constitute a frame that supports the entire seedling planting device 6. A seedling platform 38 on which a seedling is placed and is capable of reciprocating horizontally by a fixed stroke is supported by the frame, and is positioned on both left and right sides of the pair of left and right planting transmission cases 37.

The mud intake recessed portion 41 is formed in a state extending from the front end position of the front overhang portion 26B to the vicinity of the rear end portion of the float main body portion 26A, while maintaining a substantially constant recessed depth along the curved state of the bottom surface. The front side is wide and the lateral width is gradually narrowed so as to be continuous with the rear side.

  Since such a mud intake recessed portion 41 is formed, mud soil from the front can be guided into the mud intake recessed portion 41 to flow backward during traveling on the field, and the leveling float 26 is more than necessary. It is possible to prevent the existing planted seedlings and the like from lying down without flowing laterally outward.

The leveling float 26 is supported by the frame so that the rear side portion can swing around the lateral axis P1.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, there is provided a cylindrical float fulcrum shaft 42 that is located on the rear side of the main frame 35 and extends in the lateral width direction with substantially the same length as the entire length of the main frame 35. A pair of left and right support arms 43 extend from the float fulcrum shaft 42 to the rear lower side. The rear end portions of the pair of support arms 43 are pivotally connected to a connection bracket 44 fixed to the rear projecting portion 26C of the leveling float 26 so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis.

  The leveling float 26 is restricted in the amount of vertical movement in a state where the front side can swing up and down within a predetermined range. Specifically, the forward projecting portion 26B is provided to be movable up and down within a predetermined range relative to the seedling planting device 6. The front overhanging portion 26 </ b> B and a hydraulic control valve V as a control means for controlling the hydraulic cylinder 4 are linked and linked through a linked operating member 49. Accordingly, the front overhanging portion 26B of the leveling float 26 is located at the center of the seedling planting device 6 in the lateral direction of the body, and is a grounding body S that can move up and down relatively with respect to the seedling planting device 6 while following the ground. Function.

  When the description is added, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting plate 51 is bolt-connected to the mounting portion 50 formed at the front side left and right center portion of the front projecting portion 26 </ b> B of the leveling float 26. A round rod-like connecting rod 52 is fixedly extended toward the direction. The connecting rod 52 is provided in a state of protruding to the right outer side than the right end portion of the front projecting portion 26B, and a U-shaped bracket 53 in a plan view is connected and fixed to the protruding end portion.

  As shown in FIG. 4, as described above, the bracket 53 provided in a state of protruding to the right outer side of the front overhanging portion 26 </ b> B is formed in a substantially portal shape in front view with the left and right sides sandwiched therebetween, and in the vertical direction. A long operation member 54 is fixed along the operation member 54, and one end portion of an operation wire 55 is linked to the operation member 54. The other end of the operation wire 55 is linked to the hydraulic control valve V. Therefore, the operation member 54 and the operation wire 55 constitute an interlocking operation member 49 that interlocks the front overhanging portion 23B and the hydraulic control valve V.

  The interlocking operation member 49 is provided on the right outer side of the link mechanism 5 (an example of the outer side on the one side in the body width direction). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the interlocking operation member 49 is located above the bracket 53 in a state where the interlocking operation member 49 is located at a position separated from the right lower link 5 b to the right outside of the pair of left and right lower links 5 b and 5 b. The operation wire 55 extends toward the hydraulic control valve V provided on the traveling machine body 3 side while being curved.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the operation wire 55 includes an inner wire 55 a that can be pushed and pulled, and an outer wire 55 b that slidably covers the inner wire 55 a, and one end of the outer wire 55 b is an upper surface of the operation member 54. The inner wire 55 a is connected and fixed to 54 A and is provided in a state where one end of the inner wire 55 a enters the inside of the operation member 54. Although not shown, the other end portion of the operation wire 55 is linked to the hydraulic control valve V so that the operation oil supply state to the hydraulic cylinder 4 can be switched.

  An elongated hole 56 is formed in the left and right side surfaces 54B of the operation member 54 in the vertical direction, and an inner wire receiver 57 to which an end portion of the inner wire 55a is connected in a state of being inserted through the left and right elongated holes 56. Is provided. As will be described later, the inner wire receiver 57 is linked to the planting depth adjusting lever 46, and when the planting depth adjusting lever 46 is swung, the inner wire receiving member 57 moves up and down accordingly. When the planting depth adjustment lever 46 is in a fixed position, the position is fixed.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a linkage member 58 that links and links the inner wire receiver 57 and the planting depth adjustment lever 46 is provided. The linking member 58 is formed by bending a bar in a substantially U shape in plan view to form a laterally extending portion 58a on the front side, a longitudinally extending portion 58b, and a laterally extending portion 58c on the rear side. ing. Further, the engaging action portion 58d is extended from the right end portion of the laterally extending portion 58c on the rear side in a state of being bent into a substantially L shape.

  A laterally extending portion 58c on the rear side of the linking member 58 is rotated around the horizontal axis P2 by a rotation support member 59 formed by bending a plate material into a substantially J-shape in a side view and fixed to the main frame 35. It is supported freely. The front side laterally extending portion 58a is provided so as to pass through the left and right elongated holes 56 of the operation member 54, and the inner wire receiver 57 is coupled to the front side laterally extending portion 58a. . Further, the engaging action portion 58d located on the rear side enters and engages with a locking recess 61 formed in the operation arm 60 fixedly extending from the float fulcrum shaft 42.

  Therefore, when the planting depth adjustment lever 46 is operated to rotate the float fulcrum shaft 42, the operation arm 60 swings, and the engagement action portion 58d is engaged with the operation arm 60. The linkage member 58 rotates integrally around the horizontal axis. As a result, the position of the inner wire receiver 57 is changed in the vertical direction. When the planting depth adjusting lever 46 is held in position by any of the locking grooves 48, the inner wire receiver 57 is fixed in position relative to the frame.

  A tension spring 62 is stretched between the inner wire receiver 57 and the operation member 54 and is elastically biased in a direction in which they are attracted to each other. Since the position of the inner wire receiving member 57 is fixed with respect to the frame body, the leveling float 26 is oscillated and biased downward.

  When the leveling float 26 that is urged to swing downward is grounded and receives ground pressure, it can swing relatively upward against the urging force of the tension spring 62. That is, the leveling float 26 swings up and down as the seedling planting device 6 moves up and down. However, the leveling float 26 is restricted in the amount of vertical movement within the range of the long hole 56.

  In the planting work on the farm field, when the leveling float 26 is grounded and the seedling planting device 6 becomes lower than the set height, in other words, the vertical swinging posture of the leveling float 26 is higher than the set posture (for example, horizontal posture). When the upper overhanging portion 26B is also swung upward, the operation wire 55 is operated and the hydraulic control valve V is switched to the raised state, and the seedling planting device 6 is raised by the hydraulic cylinder 4 to increase the set height. When it happens, the climb stops.

  When the seedling planting device 6 becomes higher than the set height, in other words, when the vertical swing posture of the leveling float 26 swings downward from the set posture, the front overhanging portion 26B is lowered downward, and the operation wire 55 is operated. The hydraulic control valve V is switched to the lowered state, the seedling planting device 6 is lowered by the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the lowering is stopped when the set height is reached.

  In this way, the forward projecting portion 26B of the leveling float 26 and the hydraulic control valve V for the hydraulic cylinder 4 are linked and linked via the linkage operating member 49, and based on the relative vertical movement displacement of the leveling float 26 with respect to the seedling planting device 6. Thus, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is controlled so that the seedling planting device 6 is maintained at a set height corresponding to the adjustment position of the planting depth adjustment lever 46.
