Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention accommodates reaping tea in a tea ridge crossover type tea mower traveling across a tea ridge and takes out the reaping tea in a novel tea ridge crossover type tea mower. The present invention relates to a material handling device.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Tea ridge crossing type tea leaf plucking machines and the like, which perform tea mowing work while traveling across tea ridges, have become widespread. With such a device, it is possible to save labor and improve the efficiency of tea mowing work. Has been. On the other hand, however, there has been a demand for the development of a method capable of further improving the working efficiency of the subsequent handling of the harvested tea just because such an object was achieved.

The current handling (handling) of harvested tea is premised on relying on human hands, and a storage bag having a size of about 25 to 30 kg which can be carried by an operator alone is used as a unit. , I set it on the tea mower each time I worked, and when it was full, I closed the mouths and loaded it on the truck. On the other hand after transported to the tea factories also opened one by one in the mouth of these bag, we are doing the work of taking out the tea reaper from within.

On the other hand, in the current tea-mowing machine, for example, a riding-type plucking machine has come to be used for saving labor as described above, and a large amount of plucking is done at one time. It is no longer suitable for such labor-saving tea mowers.

When trying to solve such a problem, as far as the conventional general technique is applied, first, as shown in FIG. It is conceivable to position it just above the truck T and turn it in, or put it in by opening it at the bottom as shown in FIG. 7 (b). Such a technical idea has already become a well-known technology. However, if such a technical idea is to be applied as it is to the material handling device of the tea ridge type tea mower, in any case, the container 6'is moved away from the traveling machine 2'and largely moved to the truck T side. Since it has to be done, the tea ridge crossover type tea mower becomes unbalanced, and the structure for implementing it is inevitably large and complicated. This causes a number of disadvantages such as an increase in manufacturing cost and a large increase in total vehicle weight.

[0006]

The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and the applicant of the present invention does not carry the harvested cut tea in a small tea bag and carries it with a large-capacity container. From this point on, it was conceived as a way to handle the harvested tea that is loaded in bulk on trucks and other transport vehicles as it is, and when the harvested tea is loaded into the transport vehicles such as trucks from the container, keep the container as far away from the traveling machine body as possible. Even if it is not available, it can be put in the desired position of the carrier, so the stability is good when transferring the tea leaves of the tea ridge crossing type tea mower, the structure is not complicated, and the total weight of the vehicle greatly increases. This is an attempt to develop a new handling device for reaping tea in a tea ridge crossover type tea mower that can prevent such problems.

Alternatively, a hydraulic cylinder may be used to move up and down, a ball screw mechanism may be used, and a pantograph-shaped link mechanism 73 may be used as shown in a skeleton form in FIG. 4C.

The apparatus for handling harvested tea in the tea ridge crossing type tea mower according to the present invention has the above-described specific form, and its usage mode will be described below. (1) Storage of cut tea The cut tea that has been cut by the tea cutting machine body 3 is thrown into the storage body 6 through the relay transfer device 4 and stored therein. When the storage capacity is full, the truck T is moved backward to the side of the loading platform Ta and moved toward the loading platform Ta. Of course, the loading platform T of the truck T
Since it is also possible to load from behind a, the riding type tea leaf plucking machine 1 is moved to the rear of the loading platform Ta in that case.

(2) Adjusting the Loading Position of the Truck onto the Loading Platform In order to load onto the loading platform Ta of the truck T, the position of the container 6 is adjusted. Basically, first, the container 6 is moved up and down by the lifting mechanism
To raise. Then, for example, the riding type tea leaf plucking machine 1 is slightly moved to move the container 6 rearward to a desired position in the width direction of the loading platform Ta of the truck T. After that, the height is appropriately adjusted by the elevating mechanism 7 to position the container 6 at a desired loading position. At this time, although it is preferable that the container 6 is movable in the vertical direction, for example, the transfer work position on the truck T or the like is determined, and the riding type tea leaf plucking machine 1 is mounted on the platform T of the truck Ta as a platform. When the container 6 is at a higher position, it is not necessary to independently raise and lower the container 6 as the container 6 is raised and lowered together with the tea-mowing machine 3. Of course, in the actual work site, since the conditions for such a loading space are not satisfied, the container 6 can be lifted and lowered in no small way.
In addition, a horizontal movement mechanism may be provided so that the container 6 can be moved in the horizontal direction so as to project to the rear.

(3) When the loading position is determined, the peripheral frame body horizontal shifting mechanism 6C slides the peripheral frame body 6B rearward, and pulls the conveying surface of the bottom body 6A to drive it to open the discharge opening E.
