And a transfer device 5. A leaf bag 6 for holding the plucked tea leaves A is attached in a suspended state below the discharge side of the relay transfer device 5, and is stably placed on the storage portion 4 when the tea leaves are stored. When the leaf-collecting bags 6 are shown separately in a state in which the tea leaves A are not stored and in a state in which the tea-leaf A is stored, the uncontained storing bag 6a and the stored storing bag 6b are distinguished. Further, in this embodiment, the leaf bag 6 is used as a container for storing the plucked tea leaves A, but, of course, a container or the like may be applied. Each component will be described below.

First, the traveling machine body 2 will be described. As an example, the traveling machine body 2 has a frame portion 21 formed in a generally gate shape so as to straddle the tea ridge T as a skeleton member as shown in FIGS.
2 is provided, and the plucking machine body 3 is attached above the crawler 22. Then, a control unit 23 for operating the plucking machine body 3, an engine unit 24 for driving the crawler 22 and the like, a slider 25 and a winch 26 involved in lifting and lowering of the plucking machine body 3, the relay transfer device 5, etc. The person seat 27 and the like are provided on the frame portion 21. The engine unit 24 drives the fan of the relay transfer device 5 in addition to the crawler 22. In addition, in this embodiment, the tea leaf plucking machine 1
Although a riding-type plucking machine provided with a driver's seat 27 is used as this, a so-called rail traveling plucking machine that allows plucking work without an operator boarding is also applicable.

Next, the plucking machine body 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as an example, the plucking machine body 3 has two plucking machine frame pipes 31 arranged in parallel above and along the arc of the upper surface of the tea ridge T below the plucking machine frame pipes 31. The plucking machine frame substrate 32 is provided substantially in parallel, and the plucking machine engine 33 is mounted at a position closer to one side of the plucking machine frame pipe 31. The plucking machine engine 33 drives a cutting blade 34 to which a clipper blade is applied as an example, and the plucking machine frame substrate 32 receives air blown from a fan integrally assembled below the plucking machine engine 33.
A blower duct 35 for blowing upward is arranged diagonally above and above the cutting blade 34. The cutting blade 34 is provided substantially on the front side of the plucking machine frame substrate 32. The part of the plucking machine body 3 which is partitioned by the plucking machine frame pipe 31 and the plucking machine frame substrate 32 and from which the plucked tea leaves A are lifted and transferred by the relay transfer device 5 is referred to as a plucking action part 36.

Next, the accommodating portion 4 will be described. Storage part 4
Is a part for finally storing the tea leaves A, and is a part for mounting the accommodated leaf-collecting bag 6b. And this accommodation part 4
As an example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a leaf-collecting guide portion 7 connected to an upper end of a relay transfer device 5 described later, and a leaf-collecting bag 6
Is provided so as to be held in a suspended state so as to face the discharge opening 72 of the leaf-collecting guide portion 7, and a step 9 for substantially placing the leaf-collecting bag 6 thereon.

The leaf-collecting guide portion 7 guides the tea leaves A discharged from the relay transfer device 5 to the leaf-collecting bag 6, and as an example, as shown in FIGS. And a receiving opening 71 connected to the relay transfer device 5 and a discharge opening 72 formed downward.
And a ventilation part 73 that allows only the transfer wind to escape to the outside. The ventilation portion 73 is substantially a side surface portion other than the opening portion. As an example, as shown in FIG.
3a is formed over almost the entire surface, and only the air that has transferred the tea leaves A is discharged to the outside to reduce the wind speed and the wind pressure of the transferred air and guide only the tea leaves A to the discharge opening 72 side.

The leaf-collecting guide portion 7 formed in this way
However, it is connected so as to project rearward from the upper end of the relay transfer device 5 by a mounting portion 74 formed in a rod shape as an example during tea leaf plucking. This mounting portion 74 is
The leaf guide unit 7 is configured to be retractable with respect to the relay transfer device 5 by means of knurled bolts, butterfly bolts, etc. For example, when the tea leaf plucking machine 1 is mounted on a truck or the like, it is mounted. By temporarily releasing the fixing of the portion 74 and storing the leaf collecting guide portion 7 on the front side of the plucking machine, the projecting dimension to the rear of the plucking machine is shortened by about 650 mm as an example. As a specific method of arranging the leaf-collecting guide portion 7 to be retractable, a hinge 74a for rotatably supporting the leaf-collecting guide portion 7 with respect to the relay transfer device 5 is used as shown in FIG. 2 as an example. It is adapted to be housed by rotating the leaf collecting guide portion 7 by a certain angle with the hinge 74a as a base end.

A transparent guide sheet 75, for example, is provided around the discharge opening 72 to the stay 8 which holds the receiving port of the leaf bag 6 in a curtain shape to prevent the tea leaves A from scattering to the outside. In addition to guiding the leaf-collecting bag 6, the accommodation state of the tea leaves A in the leaf-collecting bag 6 can be visually checked.

The stay 8 includes a holding stay 81 that substantially holds the leaf-collecting bag 6, an auxiliary stay 82 that supports the holding stay 81 from both sides of the plucking machine, and a connecting member that connects the auxiliary stay 82 and the step 9. And 83. In step 9, the empty leaf bag 6 is placed and the empty unfilled leaf bag 6a is attached, the loaded leaf bag 6b containing the tea leaf A is removed, or the leaf leaf A stored in the leaf bag 6 is removed. It serves as a workbench when the housing appearance is corrected, and as an example, a mounting base 91, a connecting portion 92 connected to the rear part of the traveling machine body 2, and a storage configured to be slidable at the rear end of the mounting base 91. And a plate 93.

The stay 8 and the members of the step 9 are also provided in an extended state at the rear of the plucking machine at the time of plucking the tea leaves, like the above-mentioned leaf collecting guide portion 7, but they are folded in the stored state. It can be stored in front of the plucking machine. Therefore, the connecting portion 92 between the step 9 and the traveling machine body 2 is configured to be rotatable, whereby the step 9 is set in a substantially horizontal state when the tea leaves are picked and in a substantially vertical state when the tea leaves are stored. .

By the way, in these assembling modes, as an example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the step 9 stored in a substantially vertical state is rotated until its substantially horizontal state with its lower end as a rotation base end. Next, the auxiliary stays 82, which are formed in a double door shape, are deployed on both sides of the plucking machine so as to project backward. After that, the holding stays 81 that are rotatably provided on both the auxiliary stays 82 are rotated until they become substantially horizontal, and then these are connected in a substantially ladder shape by the connecting members 82a, while securing rigidity. Therefore, the auxiliary stay 82 and the step 9 are connected by the connecting member 83.

The connecting member 82a has a function of connecting the holding stay 81 and supporting the holding stay 81 at the central portion in the width direction of the plucking machine. The connecting member 82a is set in a bent state during storage and in an extended state during assembly and deployment. Is set to. Further, the holding stay 81 is provided with the discharge opening 7 of the leaf collecting guide portion 7.
The plurality of leaf-collecting bags 6 are hung in parallel from the site where they are assembled so as to face 2, and are connected in a ladder shape. Further, in this embodiment, each member of the accommodating portion 4, that is, the leaf collecting guide portion 7, the stay 8, and the step 9 are all configured to be retractable in front of the plucking machine. Of course, a single member or two appropriate members may be configured to be retractable in front of the plucking machine depending on the situation.

The storage plate 93 is the mounting table 9 in the unfolded state.
As an example, the rear end portion of the plucker 1 can be pulled out by about 300 mm. For example, when turning in a headland in a tea garden, the storage plate 93 is stored in the mounting table 91 to reduce the turning radius of the plucking machine. It suppresses and enables a small turn in the tea garden.

Next, the relay transfer device 5 will be described. The relay transfer device 5, together with the plucking machine 3, is supported by a slider 25 so as to be able to move up and down, and the plucked tea leaves A are accommodated in the accommodating portion 4.
And a blower fan 51 and a blower duct 5 as shown in FIGS.
2 and a connection port 53 for connecting the leaf collecting guide portion 7. The blow-up fan 51 is, for example, the traveling body 2
Two units are provided on the left and right sides of the above, and are driven by the engine unit 24 that is the drive source of the crawler 22 to send the air into the air blowing duct 52.

The blower duct 52 blows the plucked tea leaves A from the rear part of the cutting blade 34, which is the plucking action part 36, to the accommodating part 4. Specifically, the wind blown from the blowing fan 51 is the tea leaves. It reaches the plucking action part 36 by wrapping around the side part of the plucking machine 1, and joins the tea leaves A at this part,
After the merging, the tea leaves A are blown to the storage section 4 via the tea leaf transfer path 52a. The air duct 52 is
As an example, the side part is doubled and is set to be expandable / contractible as the plucking machine body 3 moves up and down. Therefore, the blowing fan 51 is always fixed to the traveling machine body 2 regardless of whether the plucking machine body 3 is lifted or lowered.

The tea leaf transfer path 52a is constructed to have a cross section of substantially the same size as the plucking action section 36 so as not to damage the tea leaf A during transfer, and a connection port 53 connected to the accommodating section 4. The tea leaves A are arranged so as to protrude upward, and the tea leaves A are transferred upward. Also, the tea transfer path 52a
The inner surface is plated or tritetrafluoroethylene (trade name Teflon: registered trademark of DuPont) to prevent sticking of tea leaves A during transfer or to reduce transfer resistance.
Has been subjected to processing such as coating. Further, a monitoring window 52b is provided in the middle of the tea leaf transfer path 52a so that an operator sitting on the operator's seat 27 can monitor the stored state of the tea leaf A.
Is provided. An auxiliary fan can be provided above or below the slope of the tea leaf transfer path 52a.

The connection port 53 is a portion corresponding to the discharge port of the tea leaf A that has been lifted and transported in the tea leaf transport path 52a.
It has substantially the same width dimension as the plucking action portion 36.
Then, the tea leaf A is transferred from the connection port 53 to the leaf collecting guide portion 7.

Next, the tea leaf plucking machine 1 configured as described above
The operation mode of will be described. In the description, a state in which the accommodating portion 4 such as the leaf collecting guide portion 7, the stay 8 and the step 9 is stored on the front side of the plucking machine will be described as an initial state. (1) Initial storage state For example, when the tea leaf plucking machine 1 is mounted on a truck and transported to a tea garden, each member of the storage unit 4 is imagined in FIG. 2 as an example for the purpose of effectively utilizing the truck carrier. As shown by the line, it is stored on the front side of the plucking machine and is set in a state where the overhanging dimension in the deployed state is shortened by about 650 mm as an example. However, for example, in the case where the plucking machine can be placed on a truck and transported while the leaf-collecting guide portion 7 is provided in the rearward projecting shape, it is not always necessary to store all the accommodating portions 4 in front of the plucking machine, and accordingly It suffices if the above-mentioned member is stored in front of the plucking machine.

(2) Expansion of accommodation section (i) Step and expansion of stay The accommodation section 4 is expanded prior to the substantial plucking operation.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), first, step 9 stored in a substantially vertical state is rotated until the connecting portion 92 is a rotation base end until it becomes substantially horizontal as shown in FIG. 4 (b). , And then the auxiliary stay 82 configured in a double door shape.
Using both sides of the plucking machine as the rotation base ends, the plucking machine is deployed so as to project backward as shown in FIG. After that, the holding stays 81 that were formed on both auxiliary stays 82 so as to be rotatable.
5 is rotated until it becomes almost horizontal as shown in FIG. 5B, and then the connecting member 82a is extended to connect the two holding stays 81 in a substantially ladder shape, while the rigidity of each of these members is increased. The auxiliary stay 82 and the step 9 are connected by a connecting member 83 in order to secure the above. The holding stay 81 is
At the same time as it is assembled so as to face the discharge opening 72 of the leaf collecting guide portion 7, the periphery from the discharge opening 72 to the holding stay 81 is set to be covered by the guide sheet 75.

(Ii) Unfolding the leaf-collecting guide portion Then, by releasing the fixing of the mounting portion 74, the leaf-collecting guide portion 7 stored on the front side of the plucking machine is connected to the relay transfer device 5 through its receiving opening 71. It is connected to the relay transfer device 5 by rotating it until it almost matches the mouth 53. An example of the storage plate 93 may be provided on the rear side of step 9 as needed when the leaf collection guide portion 7 is unfolded or stored, or when the storage of the tea leaves A stored in the leaf collection bag 6 is corrected on step 9. It is possible to pull out about 300 mm. Of course, it is desirable that the storage plate 93 be projected rearward only when it is used in order to ensure ease of handling in a tea garden or the like.

(3) Mounting of uncontained leaf storage bag After the storage portion 4 is developed in this manner, the leaf storage bag 6 is mounted on the holding stay 81 of the plucking machine. At that time, as an example, six uncollected leaf-collecting bags 6a are attached in parallel in the width direction of the plucking machine, but the number of leaf-collecting bags 6 does not necessarily have to be six. Further, the attachment of the leaf-collecting bag 6 is fixed by a string or a clip as an example, but it is also possible to double the holding stays 81 and sandwich the leaf-closing bag 6 therebetween. Then, along with the work of mounting the leaf-collecting bag 6, various settings such as the height setting of the plucking machine body 3 and the relay transfer device 5 by the slider 25 and the lowest point setting of the cutting blade 34 by the winch 26 are performed.

(4) Tea Plucking When the above-mentioned mounting work is completed, the operator sits on the operator seat 27 and starts the engine unit 24, and the control unit 23 drives the crawler 22 and the plucking machine engine 33. , The plucking of tea leaf A is started.
At that time, the tea leaves A are blown into the air duct 3 as shown in FIG.
5 is sent to the rear of the plucking action part 36 by the air discharged from the blower 5, and then blown up through the blower duct 52
The tea leaves 1 are moved upward in the tea leaf transfer path 52a by the wind blown from the apparatus 1, and are gradually accommodated in the leaf collecting bag 6 via the leaf collecting guide portion 7. Of course, if the tea leaves A can be sent to the upper end of the tea leaf transfer path 52a by the air discharged from the air blow duct 35, the blowing fan 51 may not blow air. Here, the tea transfer path 52a
Has a cross section of substantially the same size as the plucking action portion 36, so that the transfer mode is maintained, and therefore the tea leaves A are not aggregated during the transfer, and the tea leaves A are not damaged. Further, in the ventilation section 73 of the leaf collecting guide section 7,
As shown in FIG. 6B, by discharging only the wind that has transferred the tea leaves A to the outside from the ventilation holes 73a, the tea leaves A are not damaged here either, and the transfer air reaches the discharge opening 72 at that portion. The transfer force is lost, and the tea leaves A are accommodated in the bag 6 so that they fall substantially naturally as shown in FIG. 6C. During the plucking process, for example, if the tea leaves A accommodated in the leaf-collecting bag 6 are biased toward a certain portion, the operator can put his or her hand directly to dive into the guide sheet 75 and correct the accommodation form.

(5) Removal of the stored leaf bag 6 When the leaf bag 6 is almost filled with the tea leaves A, the plucking operation is interrupted and the stored leaf bag 6b is removed. At that time, the holding of the leaf-collecting bag 6 is released, the open receiving port is closed with a string, a sheet fastener or the like, and the leaf-collecting bag 6b already stored in an appropriate place.
Put. After that, the uncontained leaf bag 6a is attached to the holding stay 81 again for the next plucking operation. It should be noted that such replacement work of the leaf-collecting bag 6 is intermittently repeated during the plucking work.

The feature of the present invention that the member located in the accommodating portion 4 can be retracted in front of the plucking machine is more remarkably effective when the traveling machine body 2 becomes long in the front-rear direction. To do. That is, as described in the previous embodiment, the relay transfer device 5 and the container 4
The connection position with is set above the starting end of the relay transfer device 5, and regarding the transfer by the relay transfer device 5, the transfer mode of the tea leaves A to the rear of the cutting blade 34 in the plucking machine body 3 is maintained up to the accommodating portion. When configured to reach,
Due to the layout, the longitudinal length of the traveling machine body 2 tends to be long, but in such a case, the present invention is extremely effective. However, in general, there is a constant demand for a more compact plucking machine, and therefore, the structure of the present invention in which the member located in the housing portion 4 can be stored is:
It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to plucking machines of types other than such an embodiment.
