[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a grain container, and more specifically, it temporarily stores grains such as wheat and rice harvested from fields by a large-scale agricultural machine such as a combine in a grain tank mounted on a truck ( The present invention relates to a grain container that is used for storing and transporting the grains in the tank to the dryer, after transporting to a target place, for example, near a dryer installed in a rice center or a general farmer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of grain container, for example, an apparatus having a structure illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 8 is known. Such a conventional device is provided with a granule delivery path 3 extending over the entire length between the front and rear short side walls 2b at the bottom of the hopper 2 of the grain tank 1 for temporarily storing grains, and a discharge section is provided at the delivery end of this grain delivery path 3. 40 is opened, one end side of the flexible granular material transfer pipe 50 is fixedly connected to the discharge part 40, and the pipe is connected from the discharge nozzle 70 attached to the other end side of the transfer pipe 50.
A coil-shaped feed spring 60 (commonly referred to as a coil conveyor) is internally provided in the inside of 50 and through the granule delivery path 3 over a drive shaft 80 provided in an outwardly protruding shape on the delivery start end side of the delivery path 3. After transporting from a field to a large dryer such as a rice center by a truck or the like, and then pulling out the granular material transfer pipe 50 to a grain input port of the large size dryer and inserting the discharge nozzle 70 into the input port, the pulley 31 The feed spring 60 is driven and rotated by the drive source such as the motor 7 connected via the belt 32 and the belt 32, so that the grains stored in the tank 1 are discharged from the hopper 2 at the bottommost granular material delivery path 3 to the unloading portion 40.
While being sent to the side, it is configured to flow from the carry-out section 40 through the granular body transfer pipe 50 and carry it out to the grain input port of the large-sized dryer outside the tank 1.

[0003]

By the way, this type of grain container has a grain tank in which the carry-out portion on one side in the longitudinal direction of the bottom of the hopper to which the grain transfer pipe is connected is directed to the rear of the loading platform such as a truck. Although it is used by mounting it on the same platform, the unloading part for connecting the particle transfer pipe of the conventional device is connected to the delivery terminal end side of the delivery path at the bottom of the storage tank by connecting the pipe with bolts or the like. Since it is a structure opened to obtain, the pull-out direction of the particle transfer pipe extending outward in the state of being connected to the discharge part is the axial extension direction,
In other words, it can be pulled out only in one direction (right behind) the truck bed or in a limited direction within the flexible range of the flexible granular material transfer pipe.

However, in the conventional apparatus, in a place where the rear of the loading platform such as a truck can be directed toward the grain loading port of the dryer, the grain transfer pipe extending to the rear of the loading platform is used at the intended location such as the grain loading port of the drying unit. It is possible to pull out the pipe without any problem, but in a place where the rear of the truck bed cannot be directed to the grain input port of the dryer, the grain transfer pipe can be pulled out to the grain input port. There is a problem that cannot be done. For example, because the road width is narrow, if the truck is not installed horizontally to the grain inlet of the dryer, it is not possible to bring the grain transfer pipe to the grain inlet so that it cannot be brought close to the pull-out distance. There has been a problem that the grain transfer pipe extending toward the rear of the loading platform cannot be pulled out toward the grain input port of the dryer which is located right beside or diagonally rearward.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and it is possible to change the pull-out direction of a flexible granular material transfer pipe from one direction (right behind) of a truck carrier within its flexible range. Of course, so that you can freely pull out in the left and right polygonal direction with one direction behind it,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved grain container in which the feed spring is automatically connected to a drive source for driving and rotating the feed spring in the pipe by performing an operation of connecting the transfer pipe.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, the technical means taken by the present invention is to open an upper opening into a substantially rectangular plane shape and to gradually incline the left and right long side walls toward the bottom. At the bottom of the hopper, a hopper provided with a granule delivery path for mounting and housing an auger screw extending between front and rear short side walls, a grain tank attached on the upper opening edge of the hopper, and the granule delivery path are provided. And a coil in a tubular transfer path for discharging and transferring the particles in the tank sent out to the unloading part to the discharging part provided at the sending end part of the coil and being removably connected to the discharging part. In a Glen container equipped with a flexible granular transfer pipe accommodating a feed spring and a drive source for driving and rotating the feed spring, one end of the flexible granular transfer pipe connected to the discharge part is connected. Provided with a spout, while the said connection opening device comprises a joint for connecting supporting the feed spring, the discharge portion is opened communication port to the delivery end of the granules delivery path,

[Effects of the Invention] Since the Glen container according to the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following operational effects. . By rotating the pipe connecting part of the carry-out part, the pull-out direction of the granule transfer pipe extending outward by connecting the connection port to the pipe connecting part is not limited to one direction behind the truck bed, You can freely change the direction to the left and right polygonal directions. . By inserting and connecting the connection mouthpiece of the granular material transfer pipe into the pipe connection part of the hopper discharge part, the feed spring is automatically connected to a drive source for driving and rotating the feed spring housed in the transfer pipe. It That is, one end of a feed spring is detachably engaged with the drive joint of the drive source by inserting and connecting the connection port of the granule transfer pipe with the pipe connection of the discharge part. A supporting joint is provided, and this joint is automatically meshed with the driving joint of the drive source provided at the pipe connecting portion by inserting and connecting the connecting port.

Therefore, according to the grain container of the present invention, since the directionality of the granular material transfer pipe can be freely drawn in multiple directions, the rear of the loading platform such as the truck is directed toward the grain input port of the dryer. Not only in a place where it can be used, but also in a place where the rear of the truck bed cannot be directed to the grain input port of the dryer, the grain transfer pipe can be drawn toward the grain input port by rotating and pulling. When the feed spring in the body transfer pipe is driven and rotated by the drive source, the granules in the grain tank that have been sent to the pipe connection part of the discharge part from the communication port at the end of the discharge through the granule discharge path by the auger screw (Cereals such as wheat and rice) can be carried out and transferred to the grain input port. Moreover, by performing the operation of inserting and connecting the connecting port to the pipe connecting portion, the feed spring housed in the transfer pipe is automatically connected to the driving source and can be driven and rotated by the driving source. Therefore, the handling property is significantly improved, which is beneficial.
