[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a riding type paddy traveling machine such as a riding type rice transplanter, a submerged direct sowing machine and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a riding type rice transplanter, power transmission from an engine to a transmission is performed by a belt type transmission (tension type clutch) having a tension applying means, and is arranged on a side of a steering handle. The shift lever operates the belt shift / tension clutch, and the clutch pedal provided on the left side of the cockpit can be used to turn the tension clutch on and off.

[0003] A brake pedal is provided on the right side of the cockpit to perform a brake operation of left and right rear wheels.

[0004]

The riding type paddy field traveling work machine normally performs traveling on the road such as paddy field traveling work and movement while riding, but it is necessary to enter and exit the field and load and unload the truck. If the driver performs the operation while riding, the driver may feel uneasy or fearful. This is because the riding type paddy traveling work machine is configured such that the distance between the front and rear wheels is reduced in order to reduce the turning radius in the field, and the body may be largely tilted forward and backward.

[0005] For this reason, it is sometimes easier to get out of the field or to unload the truck. However, the originally provided clutch pedal and brake pedal, etc., are provided in positions that are easy to operate at the boarding position, so it is difficult to operate when getting off and maneuvering, and the operation is delayed and There is a risk of collision and damage. In addition, in riding type paddy traveling work machines
Is equipped with a gearshift lever to control its running speed.
This shift lever allows the traveling speed to be adjusted and
Road speed when traveling in and out of the field, etc.
Each can be set. However, gear shifting
When entering or leaving the field at the traveling speed set by the bar,
The operation was troublesome because the aircraft was inclined.

According to the present invention, an operating tool for operating the on / off of the clutch and the brake from the dismounting position is provided separately from a clutch pedal, a brake pedal, etc., which are operated from a riding position (operated in a cockpit). The operation of the operating device can be performed at a lower speed than the speed set by the shift lever, so that the problem of the prior art can be solved. It is intended to provide a paddy field traveling work machine.

[0007]

A specific means for solving the problem according to the present invention is to apply a clutch on / off operation and a brake to a traveling vehicle body 4 having a driving control section 8 at a dismounting position away from the driving control section 8. Single operating tool that can be operated
46 is provided separately from the clutch pedal 42, and the engine power

It is located below the vertical handle 6 (claim 2).

[0009]

According to the present invention, when the riding type paddy traveling work machine 1 is moved over a ridge or loaded / unloaded on a truck or the like, the driver operates the operating tool 46 at the exit position where the driver gets off the traveling vehicle body. Thus, the on / off operation of the clutch and the brake operation are performed.

[0010] Therefore, the feeling of anxiety and fear in the riding state is eliminated. In addition, aircraft such as entering and leaving the field
When moving it inclining, set it with the shift lever 35.
Is lowered by the operating tool 46 to a lower speed than the moving speed.
It is possible to operate at the vehicle position, and the maneuverability is stabilized.
Item 1). Further, when operating the operating tool 46, it is possible to operate the grip 46B with one hand and the other hand on the operating handle 6, so that a reliable moving operation can be performed (claim 2 ).

When the shift lever 35 is pivoted counterclockwise (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1) from this state, the switching member 37 rotates about the support shaft 38 to pull up the low-speed side switching link 30L and resist the return spring 31L. Then, the low-speed side tension arm 26L is lifted to reduce the tension of the belt 22L and cut off the power.

At the same time, the high-speed switching link 30
H can be lowered, and the high-speed side tension arm 26H is rotated by the return spring 31H, so that the tension pulley 23H is pressed against the belt 22H.
H is applied with tension to transmit high-speed power. At one end of the clutch link 32, a loose fitting portion 32A loosely fitted to the rear pin 29 of the tension arm 26 of both high and low speed.
Is formed, and the other end is linked to the clutch pedal 42.

A pedal 42 for engaging and disengaging the clutch is pivotally supported below a step 44 on a pivot shaft 43 fixed to the traveling vehicle body 4 so that its base (boss portion) can be freely depressed, and protrudes upward from the step 44. A claw 42A protrudes from the boss. A link 45 is pivotally supported on the pivot shaft 43, and the distal end of the link 45 is the clutch link 32.
The claw portion 42A can be engaged with the link 45 from above.

When the clutch pedal 42 is depressed, the claw portion 42A rotates to engage the link 45 from above, pulling the clutch link 32 in the downward direction B in FIG. The high-speed and low-speed tension arms 26 can be turned in the lifting direction to cut off both high-speed and low-speed power. It constitutes a tension type clutch.

Reference numeral 46 denotes an operating tool pivotally supported by the pivot shaft 43.
The upper grip 46B is located sufficiently in front of the speed change lever 35, and is located at a position where a dismounted operator (driver) can easily perform a turning operation. That is, the operation tool 4
Reference numeral 6 denotes a position in front of the step 44 and at a position where it does not interfere with getting on and off. In the present embodiment, the lever 6 is constituted by a lever which can be manually operated at the getting off position. And located below.

The operating tool 46 has a grip 46B

Actually, only the entrance side where the tension pulley 23 represses the belt 22 is adjusted, and the tension of the belt 22 by the tension pulley 23 can be changed by adjusting the lifting amount of the tension arm 26.

When the operation tool 46 is disposed (held) at the position where the guide member 47 shown in FIG.
When the tension pulley 23 is elastically pressed against the belt 22 with a regular force, the low-speed or high-speed power can be transmitted normally, and when the tension pulley 23 is disposed (held) at one position of the guide member 47, the belt 22 is pressed by the tension pulley 23. As the force decreases, the tension of the belt 22 is loosened and a slip occurs.
And the slip ratio is increased by loosening the tension, the power transmitted by the belt transmission 16 is reduced by this slip, and the traveling speed is adjusted to the deceleration side from the speed set by the shift lever 35, Here, the normal working speed (for example, the planting speed is 0.4 m / sec to 1.0 m / sec)
c) separately from a low-speed running state such as putting in and out of a field (over a ridge), loading and unloading on a truck, and the like.
A speed of m / sec is possible.

Further, when the operating tool 46 is rotated to the cutting position, the tension pulleys 23 separate from the belt 22, and the power transmission by the belt transmission 16 is cut off in the same manner as when the clutch pedal 42 is depressed. . Accordingly, when the driver operates the operating tool 46 while slowly moving the riding type rice transplanter with the belt transmission 16 at the low speed side at the dismounting position in order to put the riding type rice transplanter in and out of the field, the shift lever is operated. The moving speed set at 35 can be further reduced or stopped, and the operation of the operating tool 46 at this disembarkation position is performed on the other hand because the grip 46B is provided at a position below the steering handle 6. One hand is a grip 46B, and the other hand is a steering handle 6
In this state, the row transplanting operation and the like while manipulating (steering) the rice transplanter 1 can be performed in a stable posture.

FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 show a brake device 51 of a power transmission system.

That is, a pedal 42 for operating the clutch at the boarding position, and an operating tool 46 for operating the clutch and the brake 51 that can be operated at the getting off position are provided. It is provided on a rotating part (rotating shaft 53) that transmits nearby power, so that the rice transplanter 1 can be stopped by operating the brake with a simple connection structure without using a brake in the transmission case or the like. is there.

More specifically, the brake means 54 is a band brake or a disc brake attached to the traveling vehicle body 4, and its operation lever 56 is rotated by a Bowden wire 57 of the operation means 55. One end of the inner wire 57 </ b> A of the Bowden wire 57 is inserted into an operating body 58 fixed to the operating tool 46, and a hook 59
Can be engaged with the operating body 58.

Accordingly, when the operating tool 46 is turned to the brake position by rotating the operating tool 46 beyond the disengagement position of the clutch (see FIG. 3), the operating body 58 pulls the inner wire 57A via the hook 59 and the operating lever 56 via the operating lever 56. As a result, the rotating shaft 53 can be braked by operating the brake means 54, and the traveling vehicle body 4 can be stopped by the operation tool 46 which can be manually operated at the getting off position.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment.

An engagement member 48 is projected from the operation tool 46, and the engagement member 48 can be engaged with the rear pin 29 of the high-low tension arm 26. In addition, it is possible to change the position of the high and low tension arms 26 without using the clutch link 32, finely adjust the tension of the belt 22, and perform the shifting operation of the traveling vehicle body 4. Incidentally, also in the second embodiment, the brake device 5
1 can be added.

Also, the clutch pedal 42 and the operating tool 46 for operating the clutch and the brake can engage the link 45 with the respective pawl portions 42A, 46A from above, so that the other does not cooperate when operating each. To
The claw portions 42A and 46A come into contact with the link 45,
Even if each is operated, the other (pedal or operating tool) does not move, so there is no danger of the operating tool moving carelessly and pinching the hand.

Further, by providing the operating tool 46 near the pedal 42, clutch operation by the pedal 42 and
This makes it easier to coordinate the manual clutch release operation. FIGS. 6 and 7 show a third embodiment, in which an operating tool 46 is pivotally supported by a support shaft 27, and an arc-shaped plate 49 centered on the support shaft 27 is fixed to a middle part in the longitudinal direction. A locking hole 49A is formed in the arc plate 49, and a locking pin 50 protruding from the transmission lever 35 is detachable from the locking hole 49A. Operating tool 4 of the third embodiment
6 can be swung right and left slightly, and when the arc plate 49 is moved so that the locking hole 49A faces and engages with the locking pin 50, the shift lever 35 is rotated by rotating the operating tool 46. It can be operated dynamically.

That is, similarly to the operation of the shift lever 35 from the dismounting position, the shift operation of the belt transmission 16 can be performed by the operation tool 46 indicated by the lever, and even a short person who cannot reach the shift lever 35 can be easily operated. Can be operated. The guide member 47 shown in FIG.
A guide groove 47B for the operating tool 46 is formed in addition to the guide groove 47A. The guide groove 47B can be held at each of the high-speed, low-speed and neutral operation positions similarly to the guide groove 47A, and moves the arc plate 49. A retracting position is formed in which the retaining hole 49A is detached from the retaining pin 50, retracted at the disengaged position, and held at this position.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be variously modified. For example, the belt transmission 16 may be a triple tension type belt transmission having three sets of belt transmission means or a continuously variable transmission type belt transmission having only one set of belt transmission means using split pulleys.
