A dial 484 is disposed.

  In this way, the operation panel 480 is arranged at an angle of approximately 45 ° toward the inner side of the aircraft with respect to the aircraft longitudinal direction line FBL (see FIG. 12) in plan view. Even if a wound seedling is stacked on the rear step 47 on the left side of the machine body, the operation panel 480 is not hidden by the wound seedling, so that the operation can be performed.

  Further, since the operation panel 480 is disposed on the lower front side of the foremost hopper portion 110a of the left fertilizing hopper 110, it is easy to operate and can be operated from the outside of the machine body.

  Further, the operation panel 480 is fixed to the machine body on the lower side from the foremost hopper portion 110a and is not fixed to the left fertilizer application group 100L, so it does not get in the way when removing the fertilizer hopper 110 and the like. Good workability.

  Further, the warning lamp 481, the warning buzzer 482, the switch 483 for stopping the warning buzzer 482, and the adjustment dial 484 are arranged on the display surface 480a of the operation panel 480 so that the wiring is easy.

  The operation panel 480 of the present embodiment is an example of the operation panel of the present invention.

  Next, the shape of the front lower portion of the pair of left and right handrail portions 105L and 105R will be described with reference to FIGS. 7B and 10A.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the feeding amount adjusting shaft 331 (see FIG. 7 (b)) is directed from the lower side to the front side of the feeding device 120 connected to the lower side of the foremost hopper portion 110a of the right fertilizing hopper 110. ) Sticks out.

  The front end portion of the feed amount adjusting shaft 331 is configured such that a substantially L-shaped feed amount adjusting handle 490 (see FIG. 10A) is detachable in a side view.

  Before the worker starts the fertilization work, in order to adjust the feed amount of the fertilizer from the feeding device 120, the worker carries out a turning operation by attaching the feed amount adjustment handle 490 to the front end portion of the feed amount adjustment shaft 331. In this case, the lower side of the front rising portion of the right handrail 105R is positioned rearward from the feed amount adjustment handle 490 so that the operator's hand does not hit the right handrail 105R. It is configured.

  As a result, the right handrail portion 105R and the right air chamber 150R do not exist on the top, bottom, left and right of the grip portion of the feed amount adjustment handle 490, and the feed amount adjustment handle 490 can be easily rotated.

  Further, since the right handrail 105R protrudes forward above the feed amount adjustment handle 490, it is possible to prevent a foot or the like from hitting the feed amount adjustment handle 490 when the operator moves, and workability is improved. To do.

  The rear end side of the feed amount adjustment shaft 331 is connected to the above-described intermediate transmission portion 330, and the swing amount of the swing arm in the intermediate transmission portion 330 is changed by rotating the feed amount adjustment shaft 331. It is a configuration that can be done.

  Thus, the vertical swing amount transmitted from the intermediate transmission portion 330 to the second fertilization transmission rod 340 and the vertical swing amount transmitted from the intermediate transmission portion 330 to the third fertilization transmission rod 360 via the second relay member 350 are reduced. The feeding amount of each feeding device 120 arranged on the right side and each feeding device 120 arranged on the left side can be increased or decreased.

  Next, the pair of left and right protective sheets 500 attached to the respective fertilizer hoppers 110 of the pair of left and right fertilizer application apparatuses 100L and 100R will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 11, the protective sheet 500 receives the fertilizer discharge port 125 provided from the feeding device 120 toward the outside of the machine body and the fertilizer discharged from the fertilizer discharge port 125 and discharges it to the outside of the machine body. It is a substantially rectangular sheet member for covering the discharge tray 126 from the outside of the machine body.

  By providing the protective sheet 500 in this way, it is possible to prevent water from being applied directly to the fertilizer discharge port 125, so that water can be prevented from entering from the fertilizer discharge port 125.

  Moreover, since it becomes difficult for water and mud to adhere to the fertilizer discharge port 125 and the discharge tray 126, the labor of cleaning is reduced and workability is improved. Moreover, since generation | occurrence | production of rust etc. can also be suppressed, it is not necessary to respond | correspond to rust prevention or to wear protective boots.

  Note that the appearance of the protective sheet 500 is improved by making the protective sheet 500 translucent.

  Moreover, the upper end part of the protective sheet 500 is attached to the lower part outside the body of the fertilizer hopper 110, and a protective sheet hooking hole 501 is provided at the center of the lower end part.

  On the other hand, a hook 113 is fixed to the outer side surface of the fertilizer hopper 110.

  As a result, when the worker performs the work of discharging the fertilizer remaining in the fertilizer hopper 110, the fertilizer is discharged by lifting the protective sheet 500 and hooking the protective sheet hooking hole 501 on the hook 113. Since the outlet 125 and the discharge tray 126 are exposed, the discharge operation can be performed smoothly.

  Next, the 2nd hose guide member 1180 as another example of the hose guide 180 (refer FIG. 3) mentioned above is demonstrated using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the second hose guide member 1180 is a hose guide having a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the back. The left first fertilization hose 141L, the left second fertilization hose 142L, and the left third fertilization hose 143L. Can be arranged without difficulty.

  In addition, although the 2nd hose guide member 1180 arrange | positioned at the rear end side of the left fertilizer application group 100L is demonstrated using FIG. 11, it has been arrange | positioned at the rear end side of the right fertilizer application group 100R here. The second hose guide has the same configuration.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the left third fertilizer hose 143L passes through the corner of the outer side portion of the triangular body of the second hose guide member 1180, and the upper corner of the remaining two corners. The left first fertilization hose 141L passes, and the left second fertilization hose 142L passes through the lower corner. The fertilization hose passing through the remaining two corners may be upside down.

  Thereby, since it is hard to overburst each fertilization hose, there is no restriction | limiting at the time of an assembly, and workability | operativity improves.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11, the inclination angle of the discharge tray 126 can be increased, and the discharge performance is improved.

  Next, the planting part hose guide 190 provided on the back surface side of the seedling mounting table 65 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 15A is a perspective view of the planting part hose guide 190, and FIG. 15B is a plan view of the main part of the rear part of the riding rice transplanter 1 for showing the arrangement of the planting part hose guide 190. is there.

  FIG. 16 is a schematic side view of the rear part of the riding rice transplanter 1.

  In the present embodiment, a pair of left and right planting portion hose guides 190 shown in FIG. 5A are provided at the left and right ends of the back side of the seedling placement table 65 (see FIG. 5B). The right planting part hose guide 190 is a guide member that brings together the right first fertilization hose 141R and the right second fertilization hose 142R, and the left planting part hose guide 190 is composed of the left first fertilization hose 141L and the left first fertilization hose 141L. 2 is a guide member that brings together the fertilizer hose 142L.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), the planting part hose guide 190 has a ring part 191 formed of a metal wire in an elliptical shape so that two fertilization hoses can penetrate the inside thereof, The ring portion 191 includes a pair of left and right metal attachment portions 192 that are fixed by welding to both ends in the longitudinal direction.

  The pair of left and right planting part hose guides 190 are provided at the highest position where an unreasonable load is not applied to the fertilizer hose when the planting device 60 is raised by the planting device lifting mechanism 70. Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, the pair of left and right planting part hose guides 190 are located on the outer side of the body from the pair of left and right rotor columns 13, and the pair of left and right rear wheels 10 and auxiliary wheels. 11 is provided so that the front end comes behind.

  FIG. 15B shows a main part of a power transmission system of a so-called portal-type ground leveling rotor in plan view, which is denoted by reference numeral 12.

  Thereby, the fertilization hose can be separated from all members of the pair of left and right rotor columns 13, the pair of left and right rear wheels 10, and the auxiliary wheels 11.

  Further, in a deep field, the planting device 60 is often raised to a high position to perform planting work. In such a case, the planting device hose guide 190 is attached to the machine rather than the planting device hose guide 190. The structure attached to the 60 side is more effective.

  Next, the configuration around the suction port 171 of the blower 170 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b).

  17A is a plan view showing the duct 172 and the cover plate 173 attached to the suction port 171, and FIG. 17B is a perspective view of the cover plate 173.

  In the present embodiment, one end portion is connected to the suction port 171 of the blower 170, and the other end portion 172a is opened to the rear of the machine body below the left fertilizer application group 110L, and is substantially L-shaped in a side view. A duct 172 is provided (see FIG. 3). In addition, a cover plate 173 is provided to cover the opening for intake of the other end 172a of the duct 172 with a substantially U-shaped portion in plan view at a predetermined distance so as not to prevent the intake. (See FIG. 3, FIG. 11, FIG. 17 (a), FIG. 17 (b)).

  The duct 172 and the cover plate 173 reduce the intake opening of the duct 172 from being blocked by seedlings placed on the rear step 47 and sucking water and mud.

  For example, it is difficult for water applied at the time of car washing to enter the intake opening of the duct 172.

  Next, the left and right stays 600R and 600L for attaching the engine cover 21 (see FIG. 1) will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 (a) to 18 (c).

  FIG. 18A is a plan view showing the main part of the frame configuration of the traveling vehicle body 2 of the riding rice transplanter 1.

  18B is a plan view of the right stay 600R attached to the right side of the machine body in the intermediate frame 610, and FIG. 18C is a left side view of the right stay 600R shown in FIG. 18B. .

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the main frame 3 which is a skeleton part of the traveling vehicle body 2 forms a frame body connected in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the left and right sides of the frame body. The members 3R and 3L are connected by an intermediate frame 610 at an intermediate portion. Further, the side member 3B on the rear side of the main frame 3 and the intermediate frame 610 are connected by an engine support frame 620 at the center.

  Further, a left stay 600L is welded and fixed to the intermediate frame 610 on the left side of the engine support frame 620, and a right stay base 630 for fixing the right stay 600R is welded and fixed to the right side of the engine support frame 620. ing.

  The right stay 600R and the left stay 600L have a common mold and are metal members having the same shape, but a weld nut 601 is welded and fixed to the left side surface of the machine body in plan view of the right stay 600R (see FIG. 18 (b) and FIG. 18 (c)).

  Thus, after the engine 20 is fixed to the engine support frame 620, the right stay base 600R is mounted so as to sandwich the right stay base 630, and the holes of the right stay 600R and the holes of the right stay base 630 are formed from the outer side (right side of the body). The right stay 600R can be assembled by inserting the fastening bolt 602 into the weld nut 601 and tightening it.

  As described above, the fixing bolt 602 can be tightened from the outside of the machine body, so that the assembling property and the productivity can be improved.

  The corner portion 603 (see FIG. 18C) of the right stay 600R has a substantially L shape when viewed from the side, and its end surface is the periphery of the lower corner portion 611 of the outer peripheral wall surface of the intermediate frame 610. It is comprised so that it may contact with the side surface and bottom face of.

  Further, the substantially L-shape of the corner portion 603 shown in FIG. 18C is similarly applied to the corner portions at corresponding positions of the right stay base portion 630 and the left stay stay 600L.

  As a result, when the right stay base 630 and the left stay 600L are fixed to the intermediate frame 610 by welding, they are welded to both the peripheral side surface and the bottom surface of the lower corner portion 611 of the outer peripheral wall surface of the intermediate frame 610. The welding strength can be improved as compared with the case where welding is performed only on one surface.

  As a result, when the engine support frame 620 is a common frame that can be mounted for both diesel engine specifications and gasoline engine specifications, the muffler position and the right side stay of the intermediate frame 610 are used in the diesel engine specifications. 600R is close, and in order to avoid interference between the two when assembling the engine, it was necessary to pass the muffler obliquely. However, as described above, the right stay 600R was made removable. Since the right stay 600R can be attached after the engine 20 is mounted on the engine support frame 620, the assemblability can be improved regardless of the specifications of the engine 20.

  The main frame 3 of the present embodiment is an example of the main frame of the present invention, and the intermediate frame 610 of the present embodiment is an example of the intermediate frame of the present invention. Further, the right stay 600R and the left stay 600L of the present embodiment are examples of the left and right stays of the present invention.

  A through hole 641 is provided at the center of the harness stay 640 and is configured to allow the removable harness band to pass therethrough.

  Since the pair of left and right harness stays 640 are parts having the same shape, the parts can be shared and the arrangement position can be stabilized.

  The harness stay 640 is an L-shaped plate in a side view, and is configured such that the main step 41 is placed on the upper end of the L-shaped rising portion 642. Further, by increasing the rising height of the L-shaped rising portion 642, it is possible to prevent the harness from being caught by the main step 41.

  The intermediate frame 610, which is a hollow prismatic pipe, has a through hole for a diff lock pedal on the center side of the right stay base 630, and a pipe member 650 having a circular cross section is formed with respect to the through hole. The pipe member 650 is fixed by welding so that both end portions protrude.

  Accordingly, the assembly position of the differential lock pedal is stabilized, and the intermediate frame 610 that is a hollow prismatic pipe is reinforced, so that the strength can be increased.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), the main step 41 may be placed on the front half of the upper surface of the intermediate frame 610, and the space 660 may be provided on the rear side.

  Thereby, by providing the space 660 between the intermediate frame 610 and the main step 41, it is possible to promote the flow of the wind at the front portion of the engine 20, and to secure a routing space for routing the harness. .
