Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自走機体の後部に苗植付装置を昇降操作自在に連結するとともに、前記苗植付装置が有する施肥ノズルにペースト肥料を供給する施肥ポンプを備えてある施肥装置付き乗用型田植機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
【0003】
【0004】
上記田植機において、特開2000−23519号公報に示されるように、自走機体の両横側に肥料タンクを設けるとともに、この左右一対の肥料タンクから施肥ポンプに肥料供給するように構成すると、ペースト肥料の重量が自走機体の両横側に分散した重量バランスの良い状態で肥料搭載できる。
【0005】
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
【0007】
【0008】
肥料タンクを自走機体の両横側に設けた場合、一方のタンクの肥料が他方のタンクの肥料よりも速く消費されることになると、作業が進むに伴い、機体の左右重量のバランスが悪くなっていく。
【0009】
【0010】
【0011】
【0012】
【0013】
本発明の目的は、作業の開始当初においても作業が進んでからもペースト肥料の重量が自走機体の両横側に極力バランスよく分散するようにして肥料を搭載できる施肥装置付き乗用型田植機を提供することにある。
【0014】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0015】
〔構成〕
自走機体の前部の自走機体横方向での一端側にエンジン排気マフラーを配置し、前記自走機体の後部に苗植付装置を昇降操作自在に連結するとともに、前記苗植付装置が有する施肥ノズルにペースト肥料を供給する施肥ポンプを、前記自走機体の後部の自走機体横方向での前記エンジン排気マフラーが位置する側とは反対の横端側に備えてある施肥装置付き乗用型田植機において、
自走機体の前部の両横側に配置した肥料タンクのうち、エンジン排気マフラーから遠い方の肥料タンクを、この肥料タンクに一端側が接続し、他端側が前記施肥ポンプに接続している肥料供給主管路によって前記施肥ポンプに接続し、自走機体の前部の両横側に配置した肥料タンクのうち、エンジン排気マフラーに近い方の肥料タンクを、この肥料タンクに一端側が接続し、他端側が前記肥料供給主管路の途中に接続している肥料供給枝管路と、前記肥料供給主管路とで成るとともに前記肥料供給主管路よりも長い管経路によって施肥ポンプに接続してある。
【0016】
【0017】
【0018】
【0019】
【0020】
【0021】
【0022】
【0023】
【0024】
〔作用〕
エンジン排気マフラーから遠い肥料タンクのペースト肥料は、肥料供給主管路によって施肥ポンプに供給され、マフラーに近い肥料タンクのペースト肥料は、肥料供給枝管路によって肥料供給主管路の途中に供給されて施肥ポンプに供給されるから、マフラーに近い肥料タンクの肥料は、マフラーから遠い肥料タンクの肥料より長い管路抵抗を受けながら施肥ポンプに供給される。マフラー近くの肥料タンクのペースト肥料は、マフラーから遠い肥料タンクの肥料に比し、マフラーの放熱によって加温されやすくて流動しやすい状態になる。これにより、左右の肥料タンクに等量のペースト肥料を投入し、機体の両横側に掛る肥料重量が等しくなるようにして作業を開始しても、左側の肥料タンクに投入した肥料と、右側の肥料タンクに投入した肥料とは、左右タンクの肥料に作用する管路抵抗の差と、左右タンクの肥料の流動性の差とのために両タンクの単位時間当たりの消費量が極力等しくなる状態で施肥ポンプに供給され、作業が進んで左右タンクの肥料残量が変化しても、左右タンクに残る肥料の量が極力等しくなって機体の両横側に掛る肥料重量が極力等しくなるようにしながら作業を進められる。
【0025】
〔効果〕
したがって、作業を開始した当初においても、作業が進んで左右タンクそれぞれの肥料量が変化した後においても機体の両横側に極力等しい肥料重量が掛かり、左右の重量バランスが良い状態を維持して蛇行しにくくしながら、容易に操縦しながら作業できる。
【0026】
請求項2による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0027】
〔構成〕
請求項1記載の発明の構成において、前記自走機体両横側の肥料タンクを予備苗収容装置における苗載せ棚の下方の収納スペースに入り込んだ取付け位置と、前記収納スペースから出た取付け位置とに切り換え自在に取付けるとともに、前記肥料タンクを施肥ポンプに接続しているホースのための支持部を前記予備苗収容装置における苗棚支柱に備えてある。
【0028】
〔作用〕
ホースのための支持部を予備苗収容装置における苗棚支柱に備えてあるものだから、タンクを収納スペースから出すことを可能にする長さをホースに備えさせるのに、ホースを苗棚支柱によってタンクの近くで支持させ、タンクを出し入れする際や走行する際にホースが大きく揺れ動かないようにしながら備えさせられる。
【0029】
〔効果〕
タンクの出し入れを可能にするための長さをホースに備えさせ、タンクを収納スペースから出して肥料投入をしやすくしたり、収納スペースに戻して操縦をしやすくしたりできる。
その割には、ホースの大きな揺れ動きを抑制してホースが周辺の部材に当るなどの事態を発生しにくくできるとともに、苗棚支柱をホース支持手段に利用して構造簡単に得られる。
【0030】
請求項3による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0031】
〔構成〕
請求項1又は2記載の発明の構成において、前記肥料供給主管路を、エンジン燃料タンクの機体内方側の横側に位置する管路部分と、この管路部分とは別部品に作成してこの管路部分に接続したその他の管路部分とによって構成してある。
【0032】
〔作用〕
自走機体の組み立てを行う際に、管路部分を燃料タンクの横側の所定の組付け位置に組付ける。このとき、燃料タンクが障害物にならないように、燃料タンクの組付けを行う前に組付ける。自走機体の組み立てが終えて施肥装置の組付けを行う際、肥料供給管路の前記管路部分とは別部品に作成した管路部分を、既に機体に組付けられている管路部分に接続するという組付け方法を採用し、肥料供給管路を燃料タンクの横側を通る配管状態にして組付けることができる。
【0033】
〔効果〕
したがって、肥料供給管路を燃料タンクの横側を通る配管状態にして組付ける割には、燃料タンクが障害物にならないようにして能率よく組み付け作業できる。
【0034】
請求項4による発明の構成、作用、効果はつぎのとおりである。
【0035】
〔構成〕
請求項1〜3のいずれか1項による発明の構成において、前記肥料供給枝管路の途中に、ドレン孔を水平又はほぼ水平方向に開口する状態で設けてある。
【0036】
〔作用〕
ドレン管の少なくとも基端側がドレン孔から水平又はほぼ水平向きに延出するようにしてドレン管をドレン孔に接続できる。すると、作業時に肥料タンクから供給管路に流入したペースト肥料の一部がドレン孔からドレン管に入り込んでも、供給管路の肥料が施肥ポンプに取り入れられて肥料管路が空になっていくに伴い、ドレン管に入り込んでいた肥料が供給管路のドレン孔から供給管路に逆流し、ドレン管の内部に肥料が残留しにくくなるとか、残留してもわずかになる。
【0037】
〔効果〕
したがって、肥料タンクに肥料が残った場合、ドレン孔から取り出すことができる。しかも、供給管路からドレン管に流入した肥料が供給管路に容易に逆流し、ドレン管に多量の肥料が残って取り出しに手間が掛るとか、残留した肥料が固化して詰まるというトラブルが発生しにくいようにできた。
【0038】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1、図2に示すように、左右一対の操向及び駆動自在な前車輪1、左右一対の駆動自在な後車輪2、原動部の両横側に位置する予備苗収容装置3、運転座席4を有する運転部のそれぞれを備えた自走機体の機体フレーム5の後端部にリンク機構6を介して苗植付装置10を連結するとともに、自走機体から回転軸7によって苗植付装置10に動力伝達するように構成し、かつ、リンク機構6をリフトシリンダ8によって機体フレーム5に対して上下に揺動操作することによって苗植付装置10を昇降操作するように構成してある。自走機体の原動部の両横側に配置した肥料タンク21、苗植付装置10に設けた複数本の側条施肥ノズル22を有する側条施肥装置20と、自走機体の運転座席4の横側に配置した肥料タンク31、苗植付装置10に設けた複数本の深層施肥ノズル32を有する深層施肥装置30を備えさせて、もって、施肥装置付き乗用型田植機を構成してある。 この施肥装置付き乗用型田植機は、自走機体を走行させることにより、苗植付装置10によって複数条の苗植付けを行い、この苗植付け作業を行うと同時に側条施肥装置20と深層施肥装置30とによってペースト肥料を圃場に供給していく施肥作業ができるものであり、詳しくは次の如く構成してある。
【0039】
図2、図6などに示すように、苗植付装置10は、植付け機体フレームを形成するとともに植付け機体の横方向に並んでいる複数個の植付け伝動ケース11それぞれの後端部の両横側に苗植付け機構12を駆動自在に取付け、この複数の苗植付機構12に各別に供給するマット状苗を機体横方向に並べて載置する苗載置部を備えた苗載せ台13を、植付け機体の前部の上側に機体横方向に摺動自在に取付けるとともに苗植付機構12が苗植え運動を行うのに連動して機体横方向に往復移送されて各苗植付機構12に苗供給するように構成し、植付け機体の下部に植付け機体の横方向に並ぶ複数個の接地フロート14を取付けることによって構成してある。
【0040】
図8などに示すように、側条施肥装置20は、自走機体に設けた前記左右一対の肥料タンク21と、この両肥料タンク21の肥料排出部に可撓性パイプなどで成る肥料供給管路24によって肥料取入れ部が接続している状態で、自走機体の後部における横一端側の運転座席4より後側に位置する部分に自走機体の横方向に並んで位置している複数個の側条施肥ポンプ23と、この複数個の側条施肥ポンプ23の吐出側に肥料供給ホース25によって各別に接続している状態で苗植付装置10に位置する複数本の側条施肥ノズル22とによって構成してある。複数本の側条施肥ノズル22は、苗植付装置10の各苗植付機構12の横側近くに1本ずつ位置するように配置して、かつ、先端側が接地フロート14の底面より下方に突出して圃場の泥土内に入り込むようにして接地フロート14に取付けてある。
【0041】
図8などに示すように、深層施肥装置30は、自走機体に設けた前記肥料タンク31と、この肥料タンク31の肥料排出部に可撓性パイプで成る肥料供給管路34によって肥料取入れ側が接続している状態で、自走機体の後部の前記側条施肥ポンプ23が位置する側とは反対側の横側の運転座席4より後側に位置する部分に自走機体の横方向に並んでいる複数個の深層施肥ポンプ33と、この複数個の深層施肥ポンプ33の吐出側に肥料供給ホース35によって各別に接続している状態で苗植付装置10に位置する複数本の深層施肥ノズル32とによって構成してある。複数本の深層施肥ノズル32は、苗植付装置10の苗植付け予定箇所どうしの間に1本ずつ位置するように配置して、かつ、先端側が接地フロート14の底面より下方に突出して圃場の泥土内に前記側条施肥ノズル22より深く入り込むようにして接地フロート14に取付けてある。
【0042】
側条施肥ポンプ23を複数本の側条施肥ノズル22に各別に接続している複数本の前記肥料供給ホース25は、自走機体と苗植付装置10との間において1本のコルゲートチューブによって纏めて束にするとともにカバーしてある。深層施肥ポンプ35を複数本の深層施肥ノズル32に各別に接続している複数本の前記肥料供給ホース35は、自走機体と苗植付装置10との間において1本のコルゲートチューブによって纏めて束にするとともにカバーしてある。
【0043】
これにより、側条施肥装置20も深層施肥装置30も、肥料タンク21,31にペースト肥料を投入しておくと、この肥料を各施肥ポンプ23,33によって肥料タンク21,31から取り出して施肥ノズル22,32に供給し、苗植付装置10の各苗植付機構12が苗植付けする箇所の近くの泥土内に施肥ノズル22,32によってこのノズル22,32の突入深さによって決まる深さで供給する。側条施肥装置20は、苗植付装置10の複数個の苗植付機構12による複数条の植付け苗それぞれの横側近くに肥料供給し、深層施肥装置30は、苗植付装置10による植付け苗どうしの間に、深層施肥ノズル32と側条施肥ノズル22の接地フロート14から下方に突出する長さの差によって、側条施肥装置20より深い箇所に肥料供給する。
【0044】
いずれの側条施肥ポンプ23も、いずれの深層施肥ポンプ33も図12に示す如く構成してある。
すなわち、ポンプ室40、このポンプ室40の一端側に吐出孔41aが連通している吐出部41、前記ポンプ室40の一端側に感圧検出部が臨んでいる詰まりセンサー42をそれぞれ一端側に備え、前記ポンプ室40の他端側に肥料取入れ室43aが連通している肥料取入れ筒部43、及び、取付け脚部44を中間部に備え、駆動ケース部45を他端側に備えているポンプケーシング46と、前記ポンプ室40に固定されているゴム製のポンプチューブ47と、このポンプチューブ47を回動自在に貫通している螺旋ポンプ体48と、前記駆動ケース部45に回動自在に支持されているポンプ駆動軸49とによって構成してある。
【0045】
ポンプ駆動軸49は、このポンプ駆動軸49とポンプ体48との肥料取入れ筒部43の内部に位置している端部どうしを一体回動自在に連結している連結具49aによってポンプ体48に一体回動自在に連結している。ポンプ駆動軸49及びポンプ体48の肥料取入れ筒部43の内部に位置する部分を、肥料取入れ筒部43に対して偏位するように配置してある。すなわち、ポンプ駆動軸49及びポンプ体48の肥料取入れ筒部43の内部に位置する部分が肥料取入れ室43a、及び、肥料取入れ室43aの両横側の肥料取入れ口43bに対して上方側に偏心して位置し、肥料取入れ筒部43の底側にペースト肥料が通り抜けやすい流路を形成するようにしてある。
【0046】
図9、図10などに示すように、複数個の側条施肥ポンプ23も、複数個の深層施肥ポンプ33も、肥料取入れ筒部43の軸芯が自走機体の横向きになり、吐出部41の付いている方が後向きになる姿勢で自走機体の横方向に一列に並ぶように配置し、自走機体の機体フレーム5の後部に座席支持部材60を介して固定されているポンプ台61に各ポンプ23,33の前記取付け脚部44を取付けボルトによって固定することによって、自走機体に取付けてある。
【0047】
図10、図13などに示すように、側条施肥ポンプ23においても、深層施肥ポンプ33においても、隣接し合う一対のポンプ23,33の肥料取入れ筒部43どうしを直接に接続して連通させてある。ポンプ列の両端に位置するポンプ23,33の肥料取入れ筒部43に取付けた筒体51が備えているフランジどうしにわたって取付けた連結ロッド52と、この連結ロッド52の一端側に装着したナットとによる締め付け力によって、各ポンプ23,33の肥料取入れ筒部43及び前記連通管50を連結状態に締め付け固定してある。前記一対の筒体51の一方に肥料タンク21,31からの肥料供給管路24,34を接続して各ポンプ23,33の肥料取入れ筒部43を肥料タンク21,31に連通させ、他方の筒体51にキャップ53を取付けてある。
【0048】
これにより、各側条施肥ポンプ23も各深層施肥ポンプ33も、ポンプ駆動軸49を駆動することにより、この回動力によってポンプ体48が駆動され、このポンプ体48とポンプチューブ47とによるポンプ作用により、肥料タンク21,31から肥料取入れ筒部43に供給されるペースト肥料をポンプ室40に取り入れ、ポンプ室40から吐出部41に吐出して前記肥料供給ホース25,35に供給する。
【0049】
各側条施肥ポンプ21も、各深層施肥ポンプ31も、自走機体の前部に位置するミッションケース70の出力軸の回動力を前記回転軸7に伝達する回転軸75の回動力を図9、図10、図11に示す伝動構造によってポンプ駆動軸49に伝達することによって駆動するようにしてある。
すなわち、側条施肥ポンプ21のための伝動構造は、前記回転軸75の途中に一体回転自在に取付けたチェーンスプロケットに巻回している入力チェーン81と、自走機体の座席支持部材60に取付けた支持部材62によって一端側が回動自在に支持され、ポンプ台61の支柱部61aに取付けた支持部材63によって他端側が回動自在に支持されているとともに一端に前記入力チェーン81が巻回している機体前後向きの伝動軸82と、この伝動軸82の他端側に巻回している伝動チェーン83と、この伝動チェーン83が入力軸26aに巻回しているとともに前記ポンプ台61の変速装置支持部61cに固定してある側条変速装置26と、この側条変速装置26の出力軸26bをこの側条変速装置26の最も近くに位置する側条施肥ポンプ23のポンプ駆動軸49に備えてあるポンプクラッチ100の入力側回転体に連動連結しているポンプ駆動チェーン84と、隣接し合う一対の側条施肥ポンプ23のポンプクラッチ100の入力側回転体どうしを連動連結しているポンプ駆動チェーン85と、各側条施肥ポンプ23のポンプ駆動軸49に備えてある噛合い式の前記ポンプクラッチ100とによって構成してある。
【0050】
深層施肥ポンプ33のための伝動構造は、前記入力チェーン81と、前記伝動軸82と、この伝動軸82の他端側に巻回している伝動チェーン91と、この伝動チェーン91が入力軸36aに巻回しているとともに前記ポンプ台61の変速装置支持部61cに固定してある深層変速装置36と、この深層変速装置36の出力軸36bをこの深層変速装置36の最も近くに位置する深層施肥ポンプ33のポンプ駆動軸49に備えてあるポンプクラッチ100の入力側回転体に連動連結しているポンプ駆動チェーン92と、隣接し合う一対の深層施肥ポンプ33のポンプクラッチ100の入力側回転体どうしを連動連結しているポンプ駆動チェーン93と、各深層施肥ポンプ33のポンプ駆動軸49に備えてある噛合い式の前記ポンプクラッチ100とによって構成してある。
【0051】
図8に示すように、前記左右一対の肥料タンク21から各側条施肥ポンプ23に肥料供給する前記肥料供給管路24は、左側の肥料タンク21と右側の肥料タンク21のうち、エンジン排気マフラー71から遠くに位置する方の肥料タンク21の肥料排出部から自走機体の前ステップ72の後端側の下方に入り、自走機体の運転ステップ73の横一端側の下方に位置するエンジン燃料タンク74の両横側のうちの機体内側の横側を通って自走機体の機体メインフレームの後端部の横外側に至り、この部位から側条施肥ポンプ列の端に上昇してポンプ列の端のポンプ23に接続している肥料供給主管路24aと、エンジ排気マフラー71の近くに位置する方の肥料タンク21の肥料排出部から自走機体の前ステップ72の後端側の下方に入り、自走機体の運転ステップ73の横他端側の下方を通って自走機体の機体メインフレームの後端部の横外側に至り、この部位から自走機体の横方向に機体メインフレームの後端部の反対側の横外側に至って前記肥料供給主管路24aの途中に接続している肥料供給枝管路24bとによって構成してある。
これにより、左右一対の肥料タンク21のうち、エンジン排気マフラー71から遠く離れている方の肥料タンク21は、肥料供給主管路24aによって側条施肥ポンプ23に接続していて、他方の肥料タンク21より短い管経路を経て側条施肥ポンプ23に肥料供給する。左右一対の肥料タンク21のうち、エンジン排気マフラー71に近くて肥料がマフラー71の放熱による加温を受けやすい肥料タンク21は、肥料供給枝管路24bと、肥料供給主管路24aのポンプ側の一部分とによって側条施肥ポンプ23に接続していて、他方の肥料タンク21より長い管経路を経て側条施肥ポンプ23に肥料供給する。
【0052】
前記肥料供給主管路24aは、エンジン燃料タンク74の横側に位置する塩化ビニール管で成る管路部分77と、この管路部分77とは別の配管部品に作成した可撓性ホースで成り、一端側が前記管路部分77に、他端側が肥料タンク21の肥料排出部にそれぞれ接続しているタンク側の管路部分78と、前記管路部分77とは別の配管部品に作成した可撓性ホースや、前記肥料供給枝管路24bが接続する接続管などで成り、一端側が前記管路部分77に、他端側が側条施肥ポンプ23にそれぞれ接続しているポンプ側管路部分79とによって構成してある。
【0053】
図3、図4などに示すように、前記左右一対の予備苗収容装置3のそれぞれは、自走機体の機体フレーム5から横外向きに延出する前後一対の支持杆65によって屈曲パイプで成る苗棚支柱3aを支持させ、この苗棚支柱3aの上下方向での複数箇所で、苗棚支柱3aの前側支柱部分3fと後側支柱部分3rとにわたって苗載せ棚3bを取付けることによって構成してある。
【0054】
図14〜図16に示すように、前記左右一対の肥料タンク21のそれぞれは、肥料タンク21の底部の外面側に連結ボルト101によって締め付け固定したタンク支持体102を有する取付け構造によって自走機体に取り付けてある。
【0055】
すなわち、自走機体が備える前記前側の支持杆65に屈曲パイプで成る取付け杆103を介して前端側が連結し、自走機体が備える前記後側の支持杆65から延出している支持アーム104に後端側が連結している左右一対の機体前後向きの支持レール105に、前後一対のローラ支軸106を介して前記タンク支持体102を取付けてある。前記前後一対のローラ支軸106のそれぞれは、タンク支持体102の左右一対のメイン支持板102aに架設してあるとともに、前後一対のローラ支軸106それぞれのメイン支持板102aの上下辺部から横外側に突出している両端部に、前記支持レール105のガイド溝に入り込んでいるローラ107を回動自在に取付けてある。
【0056】
これにより、左右の各肥料タンク21は、左右の支持レール105に沿わせて機体前後方向に移動操作でき、この移動操作を行うことにより、図14に実線で示す如く予備苗収容装置3の苗載せ棚3bの下方の収納スペースに入り込んだ取付け位置と、図14に一点鎖線で示す如く肥料タンク21の前端側に位置する肥料投入口21aが前記収納スペースから前方側に出た取付け位置とに位置変化する。
【0057】
前記タンク支持体102の前後一対の支持板102bに取付け軸110によってロック爪111を回動自在に取付け、このロック爪111をロックばね112による付勢力によって一方の支持レール105の切欠き部105aに入り込ませることによって、肥料タンク21を前記収容スペースに入り込んだ取付け位置に固定するようにロック機構を構成してある。
【0058】
つまり、肥料タンク21にペースト肥料を投入する際、前記取付け軸110のタンク支持体102から前方に突出している端部に一体回動自在に取付けてある回転式の操作具113によって取付け軸110を回動操作し、ロック爪111を支持レール105の切欠き部105aから離脱する側に揺動操作してロック機構を解除状態に切り換えながら肥料タンク21を前記収納スペースから前方側に移動操作し、肥料投入口21aを予備苗収容装置3の苗載せ棚3bが肥料投入の障害にならないようにこの苗載せ棚3bの下方から前方に出して肥料投入する。そして、作業を行うなど走行する際、肥料タンク21を運転部から前方を見通すことの障害物になりにくいように予備苗収容装置3の苗載せ棚3bの下方の収納スペースに戻し、この取付け位置にロック機構によって動かないように固定する。
【0059】
前記左右一対の肥料タンク21それぞれにおいて、タンク21の肥料排出部に接続して前記肥料供給管路24の前記主管路24a、枝管路24bを形成している可撓性ホース78,80の途中を、予備苗収容装置3の苗棚支柱3aにおける前側支柱部分3fにロッド製のホース受け金を取り付けて設けた支持部3cに引っ掛けて支持させてある。タンク21の上部に位置するブレザーノズル115から延出している可撓性のブレザーパイプ116の延出端側部を、ブレザーパイプ116の開口116aが予備苗収容装置3の下から2段目の苗載せ棚3bの下面付近に位置するように配置して苗棚支柱3aにおける前側支柱部分3fに固縛具117によって固定して支持させてある。
【0060】
図18、図19に示すように、前記左右一対の肥料タンク21を側条施肥ポンプ23に接続している前記肥料供給管路24における肥料供給枝管路24b、及び、前記肥料タンク31を深層施肥ポンプ33に接続している肥料供給管路34のそれぞれに、ドレンコック120が途中に付いているドレン管121を接続してある。
