従来、この種の乗用型茶樹摘採機として、茶樹畝を跨いで走行する乗用車体に、茶樹畝の上面に臨んで茶樹の茶葉を摘採する摘採装置と、該摘採装置により摘採された摘採茶葉を搬送する搬出側に一体的に連設された摘採物分離体を有する送風搬送ダクトとが搭載された乗用型茶樹摘採機において、刈りならし作業にあたっては、摘採装置により切断された切断枝葉を送風搬送ダクトから茶樹畝の畝間へ落下させるため、送風搬送ダクトの搬出側へ一体的に連設された摘採物分離体に、ホッパの下部に一体的に連設された長尺のフレキシブルダクトからなる刈落し装置を着脱可能に連結するものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平8−214668号公報(第3頁、図1、図2)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来技術の乗用型茶樹摘採機においては、刈りならし作業時に、送風搬送ダクトの搬出側に一体的に連設された摘採物分離体に対して、長尺でしかもフレキシブルなダクトからなる刈落し装置を宙吊り状に連結するものであるから、刈落し装置の連結作業に手間を要する、という不都合があった。
また、切断枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間へ落下させるため、摘採物分離体に連結された刈落し装置のフレキシブルダクトは、その搬出部が茶樹畝の畝間に位置にするように屈曲状態で保持されるものであるから、切断枝葉がフレキシブルダクトの屈曲状態による傾斜した凹凸部に引掛かって詰まる、という不都合があった。
【0005】
本発明は、上記従来技術における問題点を解決するもので、刈りならし作業時に刈捨て装置を容易に取付け取外すことができると共に、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間にスムーズに落下案内することができる刈捨て装置を具備した乗用型刈取機を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0006】

上記目的を達成するために、請求項1に係る発明は、茶樹畝を跨いで走行する乗用車体に、茶樹畝の上面に臨んで茶樹の枝葉を刈り取る刈取装置と、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を搬送する揚上搬送ダクトと、揚上搬送ダクトにより搬送された茶樹の枝葉を搬入して茶樹畝の畝間に落下案内する刈捨て装置とが搭載された乗用型刈取機であって、刈捨て装置は、乗用車体に支持された揚上搬送ダクトの搬出部に着脱可能に装着されて揚上搬送ダクトにより搬送された茶樹の枝葉を搬入する風抜き用の分離口を備えた搬入部材と、搬入部材の搬出部に分離可能に装着されて搬入部材に搬入された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間の上部に搬送案内する上下開口部の中心が左右方向にずれ下方側へ先細の漏斗状に形成された搬送案内部材と、搬送案内部材の搬出部に分離可能に連通されて搬送案内部材により搬送案内された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間に落下案内する乗用車体に支持された落下案内部材とにより構成されているものである。
【0007】
請求項1に係る発明によれば、刈りならし作業や軽剪枝作業等において、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を揚上搬送ダクトを経由して刈捨て装置で茶樹畝の畝間に落下案内することができるのであるが、搬入部材と搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とからなる刈捨て装置における搬入部材は、風抜き用の分離口を備えているから、揚上搬送ダクトにより茶樹の枝葉を搬送する搬送風は、搬入部材の風抜き用の分離口により分離され、分離口により分離された茶樹の枝葉を搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とにより茶樹畝の畝間への排出時に飛散させることなく確実に落下案内することができる。
【0008】
また、刈捨て装置における搬入部材は揚上搬送ダクトの搬出部に着脱可能に装着され、搬送案内部材は搬入部材の搬出部に分離可能に装着され、落下案内部材は搬送案内部材の搬出部に分離可能に連通されており、刈捨て装置における搬入部材と搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とは互いに分離可能であるから、乗用型刈取機に対する刈捨て装置の取り付け及び取り外しを各部材単位で容易に行うことができ、しかも、搬入部材に搬入された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間の上部に搬送案内する上下開口部の中心がずれ下方側へ先細の漏斗状に形成された複雑な形状の搬送案内部材を単体部材として容易に製作することができると共に、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を漏斗状に形成された搬送案内部材により引掛かって詰まることなくスムーズに搬送案内することができる。
【0009】
請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1に記載された発明において、揚上搬送ダクトは、刈取装置側から刈捨て装置側へ左右に併設されており、刈捨て装置は、各揚上搬送ダクトにより搬送された茶樹の枝葉を搬入して茶樹畝の両側の畝間に落下案内すべく、搬入部材,搬送案内部材及び落下案内部材が左右対称に配設されているものである。
【0010】
請求項2に係る発明によれば、刈捨て装置は、各揚上搬送ダクトにより搬送された茶樹の枝葉を搬入して茶樹畝の両側の畝間に落下案内すべく、搬入部材,搬送案内部材及び落下案内部材が左右対称に配設されているから、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を各揚上搬送ダクトから左右の刈捨て装置により茶樹畝の両側の畝間に落下案内することができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図に基づいて説明するが、本発明は、乗用型茶葉摘採機の摘採された茶葉を収容するための収容装置を取り外し、茶樹の枝葉を刈り取る刈取作業を行う乗用型刈取機として使用するものであり、さらに詳しくは、乗用型刈取機により刈り取られた茶樹の切断枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間へ誘導排出する刈捨て装置を具備するもので、この刈捨て装置は、摘採機を使用する刈りならし作業や、浅番刈機を使用する軽剪枝作業等にも共用可能であり、本発明の実施の形態においては乗用型刈取機の刈捨て装置として説明する。図1は、刈捨て装置を具備した乗用型刈取機の側面図であり、図2は、落下案内部材を縦断した刈捨て装置の背面図である。
【0012】
先ず、図1を参照しながら、茶樹の枝葉を刈り取る刈取作業を行う乗用型刈取機について説明する。1は乗用型刈取機の乗用車体であり、乗用車体1は左右一対のクローラ走行装置11,11により茶樹畝を跨いで茶樹畝の両側の畝間を走行する。また、乗用車体1には送風機2が搭載されており、送風機2からの送風路は伸縮ダクト3と多数のノズルを下部に有する左右分配ダクト31,31とを介してバリカン式の刈取装置4の前後部が開口した刈取チャンバー41の前部開口に連通され、刈取チャンバー41の後部開口は左右分配ダクト31,31に対向して搬出部が乗用車体1に支持された伸縮可能な各揚上搬送ダクト6,6を介して刈捨て装置7にさらに連通されている。また、刈取装置4は乗用車体1に設置された昇降装置5により昇降するするように支持されており、したがって、送風機2及び刈捨て装置7は乗用車体1に固定支持されているのに対して、左右分配ダクト31,31及び刈取装置4は、伸縮ダクト3及び揚上搬送ダクト6,6を介し乗用車体1に対して昇降装置5により昇降調節自在に支持されている。
【0013】
茶樹の枝葉を刈り取りする刈取作業を行う乗用型刈取機は上記のように構成されているから、茶樹畝の高さに応じ、また、摘採機を使用する刈りならし作業や、浅番刈機を使用する軽剪枝作業等の作業内容に応じて、刈取装置4の高さを昇降装置5により昇降調節することができる。また、刈取装置4により刈り取られた刈取チャンバー41内の茶樹の枝葉は、送風機2から伸縮ダクト3と多数のノズルを有する左右分配ダクト31,31とを経由された搬送風により、刈捨て装置7へ搬送されて茶樹畝の畝間へ誘導排出されるものである。
【0014】
次に、図1及び図2を参照して、刈捨て装置7について説明する。
刈捨て装置7は、搬入部材71と搬送案内部材72と落下案内部材73とから構成されており、搬入部材71は、その前方側に形成された搬入部が、揚上搬送ダクト6の乗用車体1に支持された搬出部に着脱可能に装着されており、また、左右側と後方側には網板が張られた風抜き用の分離口711を備え、さらに、下方側に搬出部が形成されている。これにより、刈取装置4により刈り取られた刈取チャンバー41内の茶樹の枝葉は、送風機2からの搬送風と共に揚上搬送ダクト6により搬入部材71内へ搬入されるのであるが、搬送風は風抜き用の分離口711により分離排出され、搬入部材71内に残留された茶樹の枝葉を下方側の搬出部から落下させることができる。
【0015】
刈捨て装置7における搬送案内部材72は、平滑なアルミ板等からなる金属板材により構成され、上下側開口部の中心が左右方向にずれ下方側へ先細の漏斗状に形成されており、搬送案内部材72の上方側開口部は搬入部材71の下方側の搬出部に着脱可能に装着され、搬送案内部材72の下方側開口部は後述する茶樹畝の畝間に配置される落下案内部材73に着脱可能に連通されている。これにより、搬入部材71から搬出された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間の上部位置へ搬送案内させることができる。
【0016】
刈捨て装置7における落下案内部材73は、乗用車体1に対して回動規制ヒンジ732により回動可能で水平状に支持され茶樹畝の畝間の上部位置に配設された受け環731に垂下されて構成されており、搬送案内部材72を落下案内部材73に連通するにあたっては、搬送案内部材72の下方側開口部を乗用車体1に水平状に支持された受け環731に挿入するのみで、搬送案内部材72の下方側開口部を茶樹畝の畝間の上部に位置して茶樹の枝葉を搬送案内することができる。したがって、刈捨て装置7を取り付けるにあたり、搬送案内部材72の上方側開口部を搬入部材71の下方側の搬出部に取り付ける場合には、搬送案内部材72の下方側開口部を乗用車体1に水平状に支持された受け環731に挿入して支持した状態で容易に取り付けることができる。
【0017】
また、乗用型刈取機を乗用型茶葉摘採機として使用するにあたり、摘採された茶葉を収容する収容装置を設置するため、刈捨て装置7を取り除く場合には、搬入部材71及び搬送案内部材72を取り外し、落下案内部材73を受け環731の回動規制ヒンジ732により乗用車体1側へ回動して折り畳むことにより、容易に取り除くことができる。なお、落下案内部材73の受け環731は、乗用車体1に対して着脱可能に装着されていてもよく、この場合には落下案内部材73を搬入部材71及び搬送案内部材72と共に刈捨て装置7全体を取り除くことができる。また、落下案内部材73は、その形状が前後方向に扁平な筒状であっても、前後方向の併設板であってもよく、その材質が可撓性を有するものであってもよく、要は搬送案内部材72により搬送案内された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間に茶樹の裾部を損傷することなく落下案内することができればよいものである。
【0018】
本発明の刈捨て装置7を具備した乗用型刈取機の実施の形態は上記のとおりであるから、刈りならし作業や軽剪枝作業等においては、刈取装置4により刈り取られた刈取チャンバー41内の茶樹の枝葉は、送風機2から伸縮ダクト3と多数のノズルを有する左右分配ダクト31,31とを経由した搬送風によって後方の刈捨て装置7側へ搬送され、刈捨て装置7における搬入部材71,搬送案内部材72及び落下案内部材73に案内され、落下案内部材73に落下規制されて茶樹畝の畝間へ誘導落下されるのであるが、刈捨て装置7における搬入部材71と搬送案内部材72と落下案内部材73とは互いに分離可能であるから、乗用型刈取機に対する刈捨て装置7の取り付け及び取り外しを各部材単位で容易に行うことができ、しかも、搬入部材71に搬入された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間の上部に搬送案内する上下開口部の中心がずれ下方側へ先細の漏斗状に形成された複雑な形状の搬送案内部材72を単体部材として容易に製作することができると共に、刈取装置4により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を漏斗状に形成された搬送案内部材72により引掛かって詰まることなくスムーズに搬送案内することができる。
【0019】
以上説明した刈捨て装置7は、搬入部材71と搬送案内部材72と落下案内部材73とが単列に設置され、刈取装置4により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を刈捨て装置7で茶樹畝の片側の畝間に案内する場合について説明したが、刈捨て装置7は、左右分配ダクト31,31に対向する各揚上搬送ダクト6,6に対応して、搬入部材71と搬送案内部材72と落下案内部材73とが左右対称に設置されていてもよく、この場合には刈取装置4により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を刈捨て装置7で茶樹畝の両側の畝間に案内することができる。また、刈捨て装置7を具備した乗用型刈取機は、左右一対のクローラ走行装置11,11により茶樹畝を跨いで茶樹畝の両側の畝間を走行するものとして説明したが、レール上を車輪により走行するレール用とすることも可能である。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上のように構成される本発明によると、刈りならし作業や軽剪枝作業等において、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を揚上搬送ダクトを経由して刈捨て装置で茶樹畝の畝間に落下案内することができるのであるが、搬入部材と搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とからなる刈捨て装置における搬入部材は、風抜き用の分離口を備えているから、揚上搬送ダクトにより茶樹の枝葉を搬送する搬送風は、搬入部材の風抜き用の分離口により分離され、分離口により分離された茶樹の枝葉を搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とにより茶樹畝の畝間への排出時に飛散させることなく確実に落下案内することができる。
【0021】
また、刈捨て装置における搬入部材は揚上搬送ダクトの搬出部に着脱可能に装着され、搬送案内部材は搬入部材の搬出部に分離可能に装着され、落下案内部材は搬送案内部材の搬出部に分離可能に連通されており、刈捨て装置における搬入部材と搬送案内部材と落下案内部材とは互いに分離可能であるから、乗用型刈取機に対する刈捨て装置の取り付け及び取り外しを各部材単位で容易に行うことができ、しかも、搬入部材に搬入された茶樹の枝葉を茶樹畝の畝間の上部に搬送案内する上下開口部の中心が左右方向にずれ下方側へ先細の漏斗状に形成された複雑な形状の搬送案内部材を単体部材として容易に製作することができると共に、刈取装置により刈り取られた茶樹の枝葉を漏斗状に形成された搬送案内部材により引掛かって詰まることなくスムーズに搬送案内することができ、刈りならし作業や軽剪枝作業等の作業性を向上することができる。
