A case receiver (3, 5) provided at a front end and a rear end of a body (2) of a strawberry harvesting car (1) is detachable from the body (2). As a result, if the operator lifts and removes the case receiver from the body 2, the worker can easily climb over the body and go out to the front side or the rear side of the body.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a riding strawberry harvesting vehicle used by an operator in a strawberry house to harvest strawberries.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a strawberry harvesting car 1 as shown in FIG. 5 was used to harvest strawberries grown in a strawberry house. The body 2 of the harvesting car 1 has a case receiver 3 and a pair of left and right wheels 4 attached to its front end, and a case receiver 5 and a pair of left and right wheels 6 attached to its rear end. Further, a saddle 7 for an operator to be seated is fixed to the body 2 at a substantially middle portion of the body 2 by screw connection or the like.

[0003] An operation mode of harvesting strawberries using the riding harvester 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. First, the riding harvester 1 is put between the ridges 8 and 9 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the worker OP sits on the saddle 7. One case C4 is placed in the front case receiver 3, into which the strawberry picked by the operator OP is put. A plurality of empty cases (three, C1, C2 and C3 in the example of FIG. 6) are stacked in the rear case receiver 5.

[0004] Each time an operator OP sitting on the saddle 7 picks a strawberry, the picked strawberry is put into a case C4. When the case C4 becomes full, the operator OP moves the case C4 onto the rear case receiver 5 (to the position where the case C1 was). Then, the empty case C3 is moved to the front case receiver 3. The traveling of the passenger harvesting vehicle 1 (forward and backward movement) is performed by an operator sitting on the saddle 7 kicking the ground with his / her feet.

[0005] When all the cases (C1, C2, C3, C4) are filled with the harvested strawberries, the operator OP holds the stacked cases by hand and again moves the case receiver 3 in front. Then, the user goes out of the machine and walks along the groove 10 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 6 to carry out the case (C1, C2, C3, C4). Alternatively, the user goes out of the machine across the saddle 7 and the rear case receiver 5, and then walks the ridge 10 in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 6 to carry out the cases (C1, C2, C3, C4).

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, in the conventional strawberry harvesting vehicle, regardless of whether the case is to be carried out in the forward direction or in the backward direction, the operator OP must be in either case. You have to cross the bridges 3 and 5. However, since the case receivers 4 and 5 are fixed to the body 2 of the harvesting car, they cannot be immediately removed for passing. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the case receivers 4 and 5 have a large dimension in the width direction, so that the worker must take an unreasonable posture to straddle the case receivers. In particular, when carrying out in the direction of traveling in the rearward direction of the aircraft (in the direction of arrow B), it is difficult to pass over the empty case if some empty cases are left in the case receiver 5. There was a problem.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and an object of the present invention is to remove a case containing a picked strawberry from a case receiver by an operator. It is an object of the present invention to provide a strawberry harvesting car configured to be easily carried out to both the front side and the rear side of the vehicle.

[0008]

[Means to solve the problem]

 In order to achieve the above object, the riding strawberry harvesting vehicle of the present invention comprises a long member such as a pipe, a saddle attached to the long member, and fixed to the front and rear ends of the long member. A case receiving pipe having a bottom which is provided with a rod-shaped engaging member which can be inserted into and pulled out of the case receiving and supporting pipe which extends upward, A wheel support member fixed to the front and rear ends of the vehicle and extending downward therefrom, respectively.

Preferably, the cross section of the case receiving support pipe is square or rectangular, and the engaging member is correspondingly formed of a square or rectangular tubular member.

Further, the long member has a square or rectangular cross section, and the saddle has left and right support plates protruding from its bottom surface and a non-slip member provided thereon. It is preferable that the saddle is attached to the long member by fitting the long member between the support plates.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the strawberry harvesting car 1 according to the present invention has a case receiver 3 and a pair of left and right wheels 4 attached to a front end of a body 2, and a case receiver 5 and left and right sides at a rear end of the body 2. The vehicle has a structure in which a pair of wheels 6 is attached, and a saddle 7 for an operator to be seated is attached to an intermediate portion of the body 2.

The structure of the riding strawberry harvesting car 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The body 2 of the strawberry harvesting car 1 has a long member 22 such as a pipe having a rectangular or square cross section, and a case receiving support pipe 23 which is welded to the front and rear ends of the long member 22 and extends upward therefrom. , 24 and wheel support members 25, 26 welded to the leading and trailing ends of the elongated member 22 and extending downward therefrom, respectively.

The case receiving support pipes 23 and 24 are formed of a tubular member having a square or rectangular cross section. On the other hand, the case receivers 3 and 5 are provided on the bottom surface of the frame body constituting the case receivers 3 and 5 with a rod-shaped engagement having a cross section of a shape and size capable of being fitted to the case receiving support pipes 23 and 24 and having a predetermined length. The members 31, 51 are attached by welding or screw connection. Therefore, if the rod-shaped engaging members 31, 51 of the case receivers 3, 5 are inserted into the case receiving support pipes 23, 24 (see FIG. 1), the case receivers 3, 5 (and the case receivers 3, 5) are inserted. The case receivers 3 and 5 are in the same state as those fixed to the case receiving support pipes 23 and 24 due to the weight of the (case on which they are placed). Furthermore, since both the engaging members 31, 51 and the case receiving support pipes 23, 24 have a rectangular or square cross section, the case receivers 3, 5 are prohibited from rotating with respect to the case receiving support pipes 23, 24. ing. Further, if the case receivers 3 and 5 are pulled upward, they can be easily removed from the case receiver support pipes 23 and 24.

Therefore, when the worker takes the case containing strawberries out of the machine, the case receivers 3 and 5 can be easily lifted from the case receiving support pipes 23 and 24 as long as the case receivers 3 and 5 are lifted. Since the case can be removed, the case receivers 3 and 5 have been removed, and it is sufficient to pass over the case receiving support pipes 23 and 24, thereby simplifying the unloading operation.

The wheel supporting members 25 and 26 are each formed of a single plate, and an axle is fixed to the lower end thereof, and wheels 4 and 6 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the axle.

As shown in FIG. 3, a left support plate 71 and a right support plate 72 protrude from the back of the saddle 7, and they are arranged in parallel with each other. The distance between the left support plate 71 and the right support plate 72 is such that the long member 22 can fit between them. Further, a non-slip member 73 extending forward from a position between the left support plate 71 and the right support plate 72 is provided on the back side of the saddle 7. The non-slip member 73 is made of a material such as rubber that exerts strong friction with metal.

When the long member 22 is fitted between the left support plate 71 and the right support plate 72 of the saddle 7, the saddle 7 is engaged with the long member 22 as shown in FIG. Since the left support plate 71 and the right support plate 72 of the saddle 7 engage with the left and right sides of the long member 22 having a rectangular or square cross section, respectively, the saddle 7 cannot be tilted left and right. Therefore, it does not fall off from the long member 22. However, the saddle 7 can be moved back and forth with respect to the long member 22. That is, the mounting position of the saddle 7 on the long member 22 can be adjusted arbitrarily.

When the operator sits down on the saddle 7 placed at an arbitrary position on the long member 22, the weight of the operator causes the non-slip member 73 on the back surface of the saddle 7 to move as shown in FIG. Since the saddle 7 is pressed against the upper surface of the long member 22, the saddle 7 cannot move back and forth with respect to the long member 22 due to friction of the non-slip member 73, and is fixed at the current position. If the operator does not sit on the saddle 7, the operator can move the saddle 7 to an arbitrary position on the long member 22.

Therefore, the worker does not climb over the saddle 7 when carrying out the case to the front of the machine, but must climb over the saddle 7 when carrying out the case behind the machine. Therefore, if the operator moves the saddle 7 forward from the current position when carrying the case to the rear of the machine, the operator will not pass over the saddle 7. Further, after the saddle 7 is once lifted from the long member 22, the saddle 7 can be placed at an arbitrary position on the long member 22 again by changing the front and rear directions of the saddle 7. As described above, the fact that the saddle 7 can be removed or that the saddle 7 can be moved to another position facilitates the work of the operator carrying out the case containing the strawberry out of the machine. In addition, it is possible to select a saddle position that matches the worker's physique.

[0020]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

[0021] The riding strawberry harvesting vehicle of claim 1 can easily remove the strawberry picking car from the case receiving support pipe of the fuselage by lifting the case receiver on which the case for holding the picked strawberry is put. The worker who intends to do so only has to cross over the case receiving support pipe, which simplifies the unloading work.

[0022] In the strawberry riding harvesting vehicle according to claim 2, the case receiver is not only easy to insert into and pull out from the case receiving support pipe of the fuselage, but also inserted into the case receiving support pipe. Since the case receiver is prohibited from rotating around its support pipe, the case receiver should maintain a constant posture.

[0023] In the strawberry riding harvesting vehicle according to the third aspect, the saddle can be removed or moved to another position according to the convenience of carrying out the case, thereby facilitating the one-layer carrying out operation.
