<Harvest work>
In the harvesting work, the operator who sits on the sheet 72 and operates the operation tool 71, stands on the right of the garlic harvesting machine 1, moves in parallel with the garlic harvesting machine 1, moves the container, operates the conveyor operation unit 871, and operates the container stand It is performed with a parallel running worker who operates the part 90.

  When the operator operates the garlic harvesting machine 1 to start harvesting garlic, the parallel running worker holds an empty container in the spare container stand 89 and places it on the second platform 882. Thus, the container placed on the second pedestal 882 is regulated by the stopper 882 c and held on the second pedestal 882.

  Next, the parallel running operator operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the stop position to the drive position. As a result, the harvested garlic balls are conveyed to the right by the conveyor 87 and fall to the right of the conveyor 87. The garlic is collected in the container placed on the second platform 882. Then, when the container is full, the parallel running operator operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the drive position to the stop position. As a result, the conveyer 87 stops and the harvested garlic is deposited on the conveyer 87.

  Subsequently, the parallel worker holds the empty container in the spare container stand 89, and pushes the container on the second pedestal portion 882 to the left with the container and places the second container on the second pedestal portion 882. Place. At this time, the first container on the second pedestal 882 moves to the third pedestal 883 while rotating the stopper 882 c. The container moved to the third platform 883 is restricted by the stopper 883 c and held on the third platform 883.

  Next, the parallel running operator operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the stop position to the drive position. As a result, the harvested garlic balls are conveyed to the right by the conveyor 87 and fall to the right of the conveyor 87. The garlic is collected in a second container placed on the second platform 882. Then, when the second container is full, the parallel worker operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the drive position to the stop position. As a result, the conveyer 87 stops and the harvested garlic is deposited on the conveyer 87.

  Subsequently, the parallel worker holds the empty container in the spare container stand 89, and pushes the container on the second pedestal portion 882 to the left with the container and places the third container on the second pedestal portion 882. Place. At this time, the second container on the second platform 882 moves to the third platform 883 while rotating the stopper 882c, and the first container on the third platform 883 rotates the stopper 883c. It moves to the right end of the 1st stand part 881, making it do.

  Next, the parallel running operator operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the stop position to the drive position. As a result, the harvested garlic balls are conveyed to the right by the conveyor 87 and fall to the right of the conveyor 87. The garlic is collected in a third container placed on the second platform 882. Then, when the third container is full, the parallel worker operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the drive position to the stop position. As a result, the conveyer 87 stops and the harvested garlic is deposited on the conveyer 87.

  Subsequently, the parallel worker holds the empty container in the spare container stand 89, and pushes the container on the second pedestal portion 882 with the container to the left and places the fourth container on the second pedestal portion 882. Place. At this time, the third container on the second pedestal 882 moves to the third pedestal 883 while rotating the stopper 882c, and the second container on the third pedestal 883 rotates the stopper 883c. While moving to the first platform portion 881, the first container on the first platform portion 881 moves to the left end of the first platform portion 881.

  Next, the parallel running operator operates the conveyor operation unit 871 from the stop position to the drive position. As a result, the harvested garlic balls are conveyed to the right by the conveyor 87 and fall to the right of the conveyor 87. The garlic is collected in a third container placed on the second platform 882.

  Then, the parallel running worker presses the container stand operation unit 90. As a result, the first base portion 881 pivots from the support position shown in FIG. 7 to the discharge position shown in FIG. 8, and the two containers on the first base portion 881 slide backward from the first base portion 881, It is discharged in a state where two are lined up. When the two containers are discharged onto the weir, the first base portion 881 returns to the support position by the biasing force of the biasing member 885, and when the parallel running worker releases the container platform operation portion 90, the locking member 886 returns to the locked position and the first pedestal 881 is held in the support position. After that, repeat this series of work.

  Such a harvesting operation causes containers full during harvesting to be dumped two by two on the move of the garlic harvester. Therefore, the fields after harvest will be in a state where two containers are lined up at regular intervals. As a result, when the worker recovers the containers, two containers can be recovered each time it moves, so work efficiency is good and the load on the worker who recovers the containers is reduced.
