Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a grain transportation container capable of maintaining a large capacity in a hopper and reliably discharging the whole amount of stored grains.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As the transport container of this type, those shown in Utility Model Registration No. 3028258 and Utility Model Registration No. 3035505 have been proposed by the applicant.

Each of these transport containers is composed of a fixed frame having an open upper surface and a front surface, and a hopper made of a flexible sheet material housed in the fixed frame. The hopper has a discharge port that can be opened and closed on the front side, and has a cylindrical shape placed on a placing plate located above the pedestal provided in the fixed frame. . Each of the pedestal and the mounting plate is individually swingably provided about the lower end front part of the fixed frame as a fulcrum, and the mounting plate pushing-up means provided between the mounting plate and the pedestal, and The bottom of the hopper is tiltably supported toward the front side of the fixed frame by the pedestal lifting means provided at the rear of the fixed frame.

In such a transport container, when the grains are stored in the hopper from the opening of the upper surface of the fixed frame, the placing plate and the pedestal are pushed down by the weight thereof, so that a large capacity is secured in the hopper. When the pedestal is pulled up by the lifting means and the discharge port of the hopper is opened, the stored grains can be discharged through the front opening of the fixed frame. Further, when the weight applied to the placing plate becomes smaller due to this discharge, the pushing-up member pushes the placing plate upward to further increase the inclination of the placing plate. The grains that are produced are reliably discharged.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, although the grains stored in the hopper can be reliably discharged to such a transport container, the paddy may remain attached to the inner surface of the hopper, and the paddy can be completely discharged. However, there was a point to be improved in its emission.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to further improve the dischargeability of a grain transportation container.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, in the present invention, a hopper made of a flexible sheet material having an opening at the top and a discharge port that can be opened and closed at the front, a mounting plate for mounting the hopper, and the mounting plate. Of the pedestals located at the upper part of the pedestal, each of which is swingably mounted about the front end as a fulcrum, the pedestal lifting means provided at the rear of the pedestal, the mounting plate and the pedestal. And a mounting plate lifting means provided between the supporting base and the supporting base, and a pair of support columns standing upright on both sides at the front end of the support stand, and the upper opening edge of the hopper is mounted. The frame is provided with front mounting rods provided between the columns, a pair of side mounting rods extending rearward from the upper end of each column and swingable up and down with the tip side as a fulcrum, and at the rear of the pedestal. The rear part installed on the upper end of the standing upright part. Formed by the rod, the structure for supporting the rear end portion of each said side mounting rod such that relative to back-and-forth movement in a standing section allows, it was employed in the transport container for cereals.

In such a transport container, when discharging the stored grains, the discharge port of the hopper is opened, and the pedestal is lifted by the lifting means and tilted forward, the grains are discharged forward from the discharge port. At this time, with the tilting, the hopper mounting frame swings forward with the tip end side of the column as a fulcrum, and by this swinging, the rear end of each side mounting rod causes the pedestal to rise up. Since it slides relatively to the rear and the hopper is compressed from the rear end portion to the standing portion and contracts, grains and paddy remaining in the hopper are pushed forward.

Further, when the weight of the grains in the hopper becomes smaller due to this discharge, the placing plate is further tilted forward by the pushing-up means, so that the inclination of the bottom of the hopper becomes large and the inside of the hopper becomes large. It is possible to reliably discharge the grains and paddy that remain in the soil.

The pedestal lifting means can be composed of a lift device attached to the frame base and a chain wound by the lift device and connected to the pedestal, whereby the lift device is operated. This makes it possible to tilt the pedestal.

Further, since the mounting plate pushing-up means is formed of a gas spring, the mounting plate can be tilted without using external power or effort.

[0012]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The transport container shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a support base 4 including a hopper 1 made of a flexible sheet material, a mounting plate 2 of the hopper 1, and a pedestal 3 on which the mounting plate 2 is located. And a means 5 for lifting the pedestal 3 and a means 6 for pushing up the mounting plate 2 provided between the mounting plate 2 and the pedestal 3.

The hopper 1 is formed in a rectangular tube shape having a vertical dimension capable of being placed on the placing plate 2 in a horizontal state, and has an upper opening edge portion 1a and a tubular discharge member provided on the front side. And an outlet 1b. The upper opening edge portion 1 a is supported by a hopper mounting frame 7 provided on the upper end of the support base 4. The outlet 1b can be opened and closed by tying or unraveling a cord.

The support base 4 is composed of a frame body formed of various steel materials and pipes and having a rectangular planar shape. At the front end of the support base 4, fulcrums 8a and 8a for swingably supporting the placing plate 2 and the pedestal 3 of the hopper 1 and both front end sides provided with these fulcrums 8a and 8a are provided. There is provided a pair of columns 9, 9 standing upright from the section. A fixed portion 10 of the lifting means 5 for the pedestal 3 is provided at the rear end of the support base 4 so as to project upward.

The mounting plate 2 is composed of a rectangular plate slightly smaller than the planar shape of the support base 4. The pedestal 3 is formed by assembling the same steel material as the support base 4 into the same rectangular shape as the mounting plate 2. At the rear of the pedestal 3, a pair of left and right upright portions 11 and 11 standing upright from the horizontal pedestal 3 in parallel with the columns 9, 9 and a connecting portion 12 of the lifting means 5 protruding downward are formed. Has been done. Further, a pair of left and right supporting portions 13, 13 for supporting the pushing-up means 6 of the mounting plate 2 from below are provided upright in the center of the lower surface of the pedestal 3.

The pushing-up means 6 of the mounting plate 2 is a pair of gas springs composed of a stretchable cylinder and a pressure gas sealed in the cylinder. The upper end of each of these gas springs is attached to a support bar 14 on the lower surface of the mounting plate 2 extending in the left-right direction, and the lower end thereof is connected to the respective support portions 13 and 13 on the lower surface of the support base 4, The mounting plate 2 is supported from below.

The lifting means 5 for the pedestal 3 is composed of a lift device 5a attached to the fixed portion 10 at the rear part of the support base 4, and a chain 5b wound by the lift device 5a. A lever 5c for operation is attached to the lift device 5a, and the chain 5b is connected to the connecting portion 12 of the pedestal 3. When the lever 5c is operated to lift the chain 5b by the lifting device 5a, the lifting means 5 lifts the rear portion of the base 3 and tilts the base 3 forward with respect to the support 4.

The hopper mounting frame 7 includes a front mounting rod 7 a provided between the columns 9 of the support base 4 and a pair of side mounting rods 7 b extending rearward from the upper ends of the columns 9, 9. 7b and a rear mounting rod 7c provided at the upper ends of the upright portions 11 and 11, and has a planar square shape that almost overlaps the planar shape of the support base 4. The side attachment rods 7b and 7b are attached to the columns 9 and 9 of the support base 4 so as to be vertically swingable with the tip ends as fulcrums 8b and 8b, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the rear end portions of the side attachment rods 7b and 7b are rotatable rollers 15 provided at the tips of the upright portions 11 and 11, and It is attached by being sandwiched between the protruding shaft 16 which prevents the vertical movement.

In such a transport container, when grains are stored from the upper opening edge portion 1a of the hopper 1 in a state where the pedestal 3 is horizontal, the pushing-up means 6 which is a gas spring is compressed by the weight of the grains, The mounting plate 2 is in a horizontal state, and the capacity in the hopper 1 is maximized.

When discharging the stored grains, the strings of the discharge port 1b of the hopper 1 are unwound, and the pedestal 3 is lifted by the lifting device 5a and tilted forward, as shown in FIG. 4, from the discharge port 1b. Grains are discharged forward. At this time, the side mounting rods 7b, 7b of the hopper mounting frame 7 swing forward with the tip side thereof as a fulcrum, and with this swinging, the rear ends of the side mounting rods 7b, 7b become pedestals 3. Since the sliding portions are slid backward relative to the upright portions 11 and 11, the upper opening edge portion 1a of the hopper 1 is pressed and contracted from the rear by the upright portions 11 and 11, and the grains remaining in the hopper 1 are shrunk. The paddy and rice are pushed forward from the outlet 1b.

When the weight of the grains in the hopper 1 becomes smaller due to this discharge, the compressed gas spring gradually expands, and the mounting plate 2 is moved further forward as shown in the figure. Since the hopper 1 is tilted to, the inclination of the bottom of the hopper 1 is increased, and the grains and paddy remaining in the hopper 1 are surely discharged.

If the rear end of the bottom of the hopper 1 is locked to the mounting plate 2 by a suitable means such as a string, even if the pedestal 3 or the mounting plate 2 is tilted during the discharging, Since the bottom of the hopper 1 is flat and extended, the grains can be discharged smoothly.

Further, when the transport container according to the present invention is installed on the truck bed, the height of the discharge port 1b of the hopper 1 should be set higher than the tilt of the truck bed. This eliminates the need to tilt the tilt at the time of discharging the grains, which improves the efficiency of the discharging work and saves labor.
