Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば、キャベツ等の農作物を作付けする土壌に、土壌消毒剤等の薬液(原液)を清水で希釈して散布するとともに、その薬液が散布された直後の土壌を掘り返して前記薬液を土壌に拡散混和する際等に使用するのに好適な、薬液散布手段を備えた耕耘装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、土壌消毒に使用されるカーバム剤等の薬液(原液)は、刺激性が強く、揮発性が高いので、そのままでは取り扱いが難しいとともに、散布効果が低くなり、散布むらも生じやすい。そのため、前記薬液を散布する場合は、該薬液を清水で適当な比率(通常は三倍程度)に希釈することが要求される。
【0003】
従来、薬液を清水で希釈して散布するようにした薬液散布装置としては、例えば、特開2000−135046号公報に所載のように、多数の噴射ノズルが並設されてなる薬液散布手段を耕耘装置に配設し、この耕耘装置が連結される農業用トラクターの前部に、清水タンクを保持する架台を設けるとともに、この清水タンクに近接して薬液タンクを着脱自在に支持する支持部を設け、かつ、前記架台に清水と薬液とを吸引して混和する散布用ポンプを取り付け、この散布用ポンプから前記薬液散布手段に、清水で希釈された薬液を吐出供給するようにしたものが提案されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記提案の薬液散布装置では、トラクターに、清水タンク、薬液タンク、散布用ポンプ等を搭載保持するようにされているので、トラクターに大きな改造を施す必要があり、装置コストが高くなるきらいがあった。
【0005】
また、カーバム剤等の腐食性の高い薬液を使用する場合、散布用ポンプのゴム製シール材等が腐食されやすく、耐久性が低くなり、耐久性を向上させるべくゴム製シール材等を用いないポンプ(羽根車を外側からマグネットを介して回転させるようにしたもの等)を採用した場合には、自吸性能が低くなり、薬液タンクから薬液を充分に吸い出せなくなって、散布性能が低下してしまうという問題があった。
【0006】
さらに、前記提案の薬液散布装置では、送液通路内の空気を抜くために手動のポンプを配備する必要があること等のため、装置コストが高くなるとともに、薬液散布作業に手間がかかるといった問題もあった。
【0007】
本発明は、前記した如くの問題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、トラクターには大きな改造を施すことを要せず、また、自吸性能の低い散布用ポンプを使用した場合でも、薬液を所要量確実に散布することができ、さらに、製造コスト、装置コストを可及的に低く抑えることができるとともに、薬液散布作業を容易にかつ迅速に行えるようにされた、薬液散布手段を備えた耕耘装置を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記の目的を達成すべく、本発明に係る薬液散布手段を備えた耕耘装置は、ロータリ爪を有する耕耘部上に、清水タンクを保持する清水タンク保持部材と、薬液タンクが着脱自在に装着される薬液タンク保持部材と、前記薬液タンク内の薬液を前記清水タンク内の清水により希釈して前記薬液散布手段に供給する薬液希釈供給装置と、が配備されている。
【0009】
そして、前記薬液タンクは、その天側に、薬液入出口が設けられるとともに、任意に開閉可能な大気開放手段が設けられ、前記薬液タンク保持部材は、薬液散布時に前記薬液入出口を地側とすべく、前記耕耘部上において回動可能に支持されていることを特徴としている
【0010】
前記薬液タンク保持部材は、好ましくは、前記清水タンク保持部材に回動可能に支持され、さらに好ましい態様では、前記薬液タンク保持部材の回動を、前記薬液入出口が天側となる正立位置と、地側となる反転位置と、の二位置で規制する回動規制手段を備える。
【0011】
前記回動規制手段は、好ましくは、前記清水タンク保持部材及び前記薬液タンク保持部材のいずれか一方に設けられた回動規制用ストッパと、他方に設けられて前記薬液タンクを前記正立位置で保持すべく前記回動規制用ストッパに接当して係止される第一係止部材、及び、前記薬液タンクを前記反転位置で保持すべく前記回動規制用ストッパに接当して係止される第二係止部材と、からなっている。
【0012】
また、前記大気開放手段は、好ましくは、前記薬液タンクに設けられた大気開放口に装着されて前記薬液タンクの底部付近まで伸びる挿入パイプと、該挿入パイプに接続される大気開放用通路と、該大気開放用通路に介装された大気開放用コックと、からなっている。
【0013】
一方、前記薬液希釈供給装置は、好ましくは、散布用ポンプと、前記清水タンク内の清水をその底部に設けられた清水導出口から前記散布用ポンプに導く送水通路と、前記薬液タンク内の薬液を前記薬液入出口から前記送水通路の希釈混合部に導く送液通路と、清水により希釈混合された希釈薬液を前記散布用ポンプから前記薬液散布手段に導く吐出通路と、を備える。
【0014】
好ましい態様では、前記送液通路に、該通路内の空気を抜くための任意に開閉可能な空気抜き手段が設けられ、また、前記散布用ポンプ、前記送水通路、前記送液通路、及び、前記吐出通路は、前記清水タンクの最低水面位置より下方に配在される。
【0015】
前記散布用ポンプは、好ましくは、前記清水導出口及び地側に回動せしめられた前記薬液入出口より下方に配在される。
他の好ましい態様では、前記送液通路に、流量調整バルブ及び流量計が設けられる。
また、別の好ましい態様では、前記吐出通路に、前記耕耘部の上下動に連動して開閉せしめられる散布用開閉バルブが配設される。
【0016】
前記清水タンク保持部材は、好ましくは、その中央部を除く左右にそれぞれ第一及び第二の清水タンクを保持する第一及び第二の清水タンク保持部が設けられ、さらに好ましくは、前記清水タンク保持部材における後側面の左右にそれぞれ第一及び第二の薬液タンクが着脱自在に装着される第一及び第二の薬液タンク保持部材が回動可能に支持される。
【0017】
前記の如くの構成とされた本発明に係る薬液散布手段を備えた耕耘装置の好ましい態様においては、耕耘部上に、清水タンクを保持する清水タンク保持部材と、薬液タンクが着脱自在に装着される薬液タンク保持部材と、散布用ポンプを含む薬液希釈供給装置と、が設けられるので、薬液の散布に必要なタンク、装置類が全て集約的に耕耘装置に配備されることになり、そのため、農業用トラクターに大きな改造を施す必要がなくなって、既存の農業用トラクターをそのまま利用することが可能となり、製造コスト、装置コストを低く抑えられる。
【0018】
また、薬液タンクは、非使用時には、その薬液入出口を天側とした正立状態で薬液タンク保持部材に保持され、使用時(薬液散布時)には、前記薬液入出口が地側となるように、所定角度回動せしめられて反転状態で保持されるので、薬液散布時には、重力の作用により、前記清水タンク内の清水が、その底部に設けられた清水導出口から送水通路を介して前記散布用ポンプに自然に流下せしめられるとともに、前記薬液タンク内の薬液も地側に回動せしめられている前記薬液入出口から送液通路を介して前記送水通路の希釈混合部に自然に流下せしめられる。
【0019】
このため、自吸性能の低い散布用ポンプを使用した場合でも、薬液を清水で所定の倍率に希釈して所要量確実に散布することができ、また、前記薬液タンクの薬液入出口を地側にしてそこから薬液を導出するようにされるので、薬液を残すことなく略完全に使い切ることができる。
【0020】
また、薬液散布作業を開始する際に、前記送液通路に設けられた空気抜き手段を開け、かつ、前記送水通路に設けられた清水用開閉コックを開ければ、前記清水タンク内の清水が、その水面位置より下方に配在されている前記送水通路、前記送液通路、前記散布用ポンプ等に流れ込むので、該清水により、前記送液通路内の空気が前記空気抜き手段を介して外部に押し出される。このため、前記各通路内の空気を手動ポンプ等を使用することなく簡単に抜くことができる。
【0021】
さらに、前記薬液タンクが前記反転位置に回動せしめられるときには、薬液が前記大気開放手段を構成する挿入パイプ及び大気開放用通路内に入り込まないように、前記大気開放手段の大気開放用コックを閉じておき、反転後には、該コックを開けておけば、薬液タンク内が常時大気圧で維持されるので、薬液供給に支障を来すことはない。
【0022】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照しつつ説明する。図1は本発明に係る薬液散布手段を備えた耕耘装置の一実施形態を示す左側面図である。
図示実施形態の耕耘装置1は、図示していない農業用トラクター後端の支持部80に、連結機構7を介して上下動自在に連結された耕耘部2と、該耕耘部2による耕耘深さDを可変とすべく、該耕耘部2と前記連結機構7との間に配在されて前記耕耘部2を地面から任意の高さ位置にて支承し得るようにされた左右一対のゲージホイール9、9と、を備える。
【0023】
該左右一対のゲージホイール9、9間には、それらを橋架するように薬液散布手段10が配在されている。該薬液散布手段10は、後述する薬液タンク31、32内の薬液(ここでは土壌消毒剤)を清水で約三倍程度に希釈したものを前記耕耘部2より前側の地面に散布するためのもので、図4に概略図示されているように、前記耕耘部2の横梁部材5、6から前方へ突設された腕部材11aの先端に取着された支持桿11と、該支持桿11に左右方向に所定間隔をあけて配設された多数の噴射ノズル12、12、…からなっている。
【0024】
また、前記耕耘部2は、ロータリ爪3と、該ロータリ爪3の左右に配在された左右一対の側板4、4と、該左右一対の側板4、4を連結する前記横梁部材5、6、等からなっている。
そして、前記耕耘部2上には、図1に加えて図2を参照すればよくわかるように、前記上側横梁部材5に固着された左右一対の支持部材15、15を介して、幅方向(左右方向)に長い直方格子状の枠体からなる清水タンク保持部材20が固定配備されている。
【0025】
該清水タンク保持部材20は、その中央部を除く左右にそれぞれ直方体状の第一及び第二の清水タンク21、22を保持する第一及び第二の清水タンク保持部20A、20Bが設けられている。該第一及び第二の清水タンク保持部20A、20Bは、それぞれ前記清水タンク保持部材20の左右部分と、前記第一及び第二の清水タンク21、22の一側面(中央部側)の位置を規制する前後一対の縦メンバ24、24と、前記第一及び第二の清水タンク21、22の前後側面中央部が対接せしめられる前後一対の中央メンバ25、25と、前記第一及び第二の清水タンク21、22の底部を受け止める矩形枠状の底受メンバ26と、からなっている。
【0026】
そして、前記清水タンク保持部材20における後側面の左右、詳細には、前記中央メンバ25と前記底受メンバ26との交差する部分に突設された支軸29、29に、それぞれ第一及び第二の薬液タンク31、32が着脱自在に装着される第一及び第二の薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bの中央部付近(後述する上下挟持部材35の中央部付近)に突設された管軸39、39が回動可能に、かつ、抜けないように外嵌支持されている。
【0027】
前記薬液タンク31、32として、ここでは、原液(カーバム剤等の土壌消毒剤)流通用の20Lポリタンクがそのまま使用されており、該薬液タンク31、32は同一構成とされ、それらには、図1、図2に加えて図3を参照すればよくわかるように、その天側(上部)の一側の傾斜コーナー面部31c、32cに蓋付きの薬液入出口31a、32aが設けられるとともに、その天側(上部)の他側に任意に開閉可能な大気開放手段を形成する蓋付き大気開放口31b、32bが設けられている。
【0028】
前記大気開放手段は、前記蓋付き大気開放口31b、32bに択一的に水密状態で装着されて前記薬液タンク31、32の底部付近まで伸びる挿入パイプ44と、該挿入パイプ44にその一端部が接続されるフレキシブルパイプからなる大気開放用通路45と、前記薬液タンク31、32より上方位置(前記清水タンク保持部材20の上辺部)に取り付けられて前記フレキシブルパイプ45の他端が接続される大気開放用コック46と、からなっている。
【0029】
前記第一及び第二の薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bは、前記薬液タンク31、32の底面部及び左右両側面部に対接せしめられる正面視コ字状の底受け部材33、前記薬液タンク31、32の底面部、前記薬液タンク31、32の前面部、及び上面部の中央に対接する側面視コ字状の上下挟持部材35、前記薬液タンク31、32の前面部に対接するように前記底受け部材33及び上下挟持部材35に跨がるように上下二段並設された平面視コ字状の左右挟持部材36、36、該左右挟持部材36、36の両端間に着脱自在に横架される適宜のタンク保持部材37、37、及び、前記薬液タンク31、32の前記傾斜コーナー面部31c、32cが位置せしめられる側の、前記底受け部材33の上端部と前記上下挟持部材35の上辺部とに連結された傾斜板部38からなっている。
【0030】
かかる第一及び第二の薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bに前記薬液タンク31、32を装着する際には、前記タンク保持部材37、37を外して前記薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bの後面側を開口せしめた状態で、前記薬液タンク31、32をセンターラインCを挟んで鏡面対称となるように(図3参照)、それぞれ後方から前記底受け部材33、前記上下挟持部材35、前記左右挟持部材36、36で囲繞された保持部に装填し、その後、前記タンク保持部材37、37を前記左右挟持部材36、36の両端間に横架する。これにより、前記薬液タンク31、32は、上下、左右、及び前後方向の位置が規制され、前記薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bにしっかりと固定保持される。
【0031】
また、前記薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bの回動を、前記薬液入出口31a、32aが天側となる正立位置(図2、図3における右側薬液タンク32の姿勢)と、前記薬液入出口31a、32aが地側となる反転位置(図2、図3における左側薬液タンク31の姿勢)と、の二位置で規制する回動規制手段として、前記清水タンク保持部材20の底辺部の左右に回動規制用ストッパ40、40が突設されるとともに、前記薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bにおける前記下側の左右挟持部材36、36に、前記薬液タンク31、32を前記正立位置で保持すべく、前記回動規制用ストッパ40、40に接当して係止される板状の第一係止部材41、41が突設され、かつ、前記薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bにおける前記傾斜板部38、38の上端部付近に、前記薬液タンク31、32を前記反転位置で保持すべく、前記回動規制用ストッパ40、40に接当して係止される第二係止部材42、42が突設されている。
【0032】
したがって、前記薬液タンク31、32は、最初は、図2、図3における右薬液タンク32のように、前記第一係止部材41が前記回動用ストッパ40に接当して係止されている、前記第一及び第二の薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bに、前記薬液入出口31a、31bが天側となる正立位置で装着保持され、その後、散布作業開始時に、前記正立位置から図2、図3における左薬液タンク31のように、前記薬液入出口31a、31bが地側となる、前記第二係止部材42が前記回動用ストッパ40に接当して係止される反転位置へと、前記第一の薬液タンク31は後方から見て時計回り(Q方向)に、前記第2の薬液タンク32は後方から見て反時計回り(P方向)に回動せしめられて、その位置で係止される。
【0033】
なお、前記薬液タンク31、32には、その配設構造上(前記管軸39や重心の位置等により)、前記正立位置及び前記反転位置において、それぞれ前記第一係止部材41及び第二係止部材42を、前記回動規制用ストッパ40に押し付ける方向のモーメントが生じ、外部から回動力を与えない限り、前記正立位置及び前記反転位置を維持するので、別途に、前記薬液タンク31、32を前記正立位置及び前記反転位置で固定するための固定手段を設ける必要はない。
【0034】
また、清水タンクを二個構成にして、前記清水タンク保持部材20の中央部を除く左右に配置するようにしているのは、前記耕耘部2の中央部上方には、前記連結機構7や前記耕耘部2のギアボックス等の機材が配置されるので、単一の清水タンクを前記耕耘部2上に配置する場合には、該清水タンクを前記連結機構7等に干渉することがないように相当上方に位置させなければならず、そのようにすると、装置全体としての重心位置が高くなって耕耘装置の作業状態が不安定になるのを防止するためである。
【0035】
一方、前記耕耘部2と前記清水タンク21、22との間には、前記薬液タンク31、32内の薬液Kを前記清水タンク21、22内の清水Wにより希釈して、前記薬液散布手段10に供給する薬液希釈供給装置50が配在されている。
【0036】
該薬液希釈供給装置50は、図2に加えて図4を参照すればよくわかるように、前記清水タンク保持部材20を支持する前記支持部材15、15のうちの、後方から見て右側のものに水平に取り付けられた散布用ポンプ60と、前記清水タンク21、22内の清水Wを、その底部21c、22cに設けられた清水導出口21a、22aから前記散布用ポンプ60の導入口60aに導く、フレキシブルパイプ等からなる第一及び第二送水通路51、52、共通送水通路53、及び、希釈混合通路58と、前記反転位置に回動せしめられた前記薬液タンク31、32内の薬液K(カーバム剤等の土壌消毒剤)を、前記薬液入出口31a、32aから前記希釈混合通路58の一部を形成するT形乃至三叉状チーズからなる希釈混合部57に導くフレキシブルパイプ等からなる送液通路70と、清水Wにより希釈混合された希釈薬液K'を前記散布用ポンプ60の吐出口60bから前記薬液散布手段10の前記各噴射ノズル12、12、…に導くフレキシブルパイプ等からなる吐出通路63と、を備えている。
【0037】
前記散布用ポンプ60は、ゴム製シール材等を用いていない、羽根車を外側からマグネットを介して電動モータ62により回転させるようにしたタイプのものを用いると好適であるが、その自吸性能はさほど高くはない。
【0038】
前記送水通路(第一及び第二送水通路51、52、共通送水通路53、及び、希釈混合通路58)、前記送液通路70、及び、前記吐出通路63は、前記清水タンク21、22の最低水面位置、つまり、前記底部21c、22cより下方に配在され、前記散布用ポンプ60は、前記清水導出口21a、22a及び地側に回動せしめられた前記薬液入出口31a、32aより下方に配在されている。
【0039】
前記送液通路70には、薬液用流量調整バルブ75及び電磁センサー67付の流量計73が設けられるとともに、それらより下流側に、前記各通路51、52、53、58、63、70内の空気を抜くための、任意に開閉可能な空気抜き手段が設けられている。該空気抜き手段は、例えば、前記送液通路70の最も高い部分(前記流量調整バルブ75)に接続されたフレキシブルパイプ等からなる空気抜き用通路76と、該空気抜き用通路76の下部に配設された空気抜き用コック77と、からなっており、前記空気抜き用通路76の上部は、前記清水タンク21、22の最高水面より高い部位、例えば、前記清水タンク保持部材20の上辺部に取り付けられている。
【0040】
また、前記第一送水通路51には、清水補給用及び清水タンク切換用の三方切換コック49が配設され、前記共通送水通路53には、清水用流量調整バルブ55及び清水用開閉コック56が配設され、前記吐出通路63には、前記耕耘部2(の均平板69)の上下動にワイヤ等を介して連動してその操作部材66が揺動せしめられて前記吐出通路63を開閉する散布用開閉バルブ65が配設されている。
【0041】
このような構成とされた本実施形態の薬液散布手段10を備えた耕耘装置1を用いて薬液散布作業を行う際には、まず、前記第一及び第二の清水タンク21、22を満水にした後、前記三方切換コック49を前記第二の清水タンク22側へ切換えて前記清水用開閉コック56を開くとともに、前記空気抜き用コック77を開く。これにより、前記第二の清水タンク22の清水Wが、その水面位置より下方に配在されている前記各通路51、52、53、58、70や前記散布用ポンプ60内に流れ込み、該清水Wにより、前記各通路51、52、53、58、70等内の空気が、前記清水用開閉コック56及び前記空気抜き用通路77を介して外部に押し出される。このため、前記各通路内の空気を、手動ポンプ等を使用することなく簡単に抜くことができる。
【0042】
次いで、前記空気抜き用コック77を閉じ、前記送液通路70を形成するフレキシブルパイプの一端を、正立位置で保持されている前記薬液タンク31、32の一方(ここでは、左薬液タンク31)の薬液入出口31aに接続し、前記大気開放口31bに挿入パイプ44を装着するとともに、該挿入パイプ44に大気開放通路45を形成するフレキシブルパイプの一端を接続し、前記大気開放用コック46を閉じた状態で、前記薬液タンク31を前記反転位置に回動せしめ、その位置で係止する。これにより、薬液Kが前記挿入パイプ44及び大気開放用通路45にはほとんど入り込まず、その後は、前記コック46を開けておけば、前記薬液タンク31内が常時大気圧に維持されるので、薬液供給に支障を来すことはない。
【0043】
続いて、前記電動モータ62に電力供給を行って前記散布用ポンプ60を駆動するとともに、前記耕耘部2を作動させて該耕耘部2により耕耘作業を開始すると、地面Gによって前記均平板69が押し上げられ、これに連動して、前記散布用開閉バルブ65が開き、前記薬液タンク31の薬液Kが、前記希釈混合部57で清水Wに混合せしめられて希釈され、この希釈された薬液K'が、前記ポンプ60から前記吐出通路63を介して前記薬液散布手段10に吐出供給され、該薬液散布手段10の噴射ノズル12、12、…から土壌に散布される。
【0044】
この際、前記流量計73を見ながら前記薬液用流量調整バルブ75及び前記清水用流量調整バルブ55の開度を調節して、走行速度等に応じた量の希釈薬液K'を散布するようにされる。
【0045】
前記の如くの構成とされた本実施形態の薬液散布手段10を備えた耕耘装置1においては、耕耘部2上に、清水タンク21、22を保持する清水タンク保持部材20と、薬液タンク31、32が着脱自在に装着される薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bと、散布用ポンプ60を含む薬液希釈供給装置50と、が設けられるので、薬液の散布に必要なタンク、装置類が全て集約的に耕耘装置1に配備されることになり、そのため、農業用トラクターに大きな改造を施す必要がなくなって、既存の農業用トラクターをそのまま利用することが可能となり、製造コスト、装置コストを低く抑えられる。
【0046】
また、前記薬液タンク31、32は、非使用時にはその薬液入出口31a、32aを天側とした正立状態で薬液タンク保持部材30A、30Bに保持され、使用時(薬液散布時)には、前記薬液入出口31a、32aが地側となるように、所定角度回動せしめられて反転位置で保持されるので、薬液散布時には、重力の作用により、前記清水タンク21、22内の清水Wが、その底部21c、22cに設けられた清水導出口21a、22aから第一及び第二送水通路51、52、共通送水通路53、及び、希釈混合通路58を介して前記散布用ポンプ60に自然流下せしめられるとともに、前記薬液タンク31、32内の薬液Kも、地側に回動せしめられている前記薬液入出口31a、32aから送液通路70を介して前記希釈混合通路58の希釈混合部57に自然流下せしめられる。
【0047】
このため、自吸性能の低い散布用ポンプを使用した場合でも、薬液Kを清水Wで所定の倍率に希釈して所要量確実に散布することができ、また、前記薬液タンク31、32の薬液入出口31a、32aを地側にしてそこから薬液Kを導出するようにされるので、薬液を残すことなく略完全に使い切ることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, for example, dilutes and sprays a chemical solution (stock solution) such as a soil disinfectant with fresh water on the soil on which crops such as cabbage are planted, and digs up the soil immediately after the chemical solution is sprayed to irrigate the chemical solution. The present invention relates to a tilling device equipped with chemical solution spraying means suitable for use in diffusing and mixing with soil.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a chemical solution (stock solution) such as a carbam agent used for soil disinfection has strong irritation and high volatility, so that it is difficult to handle as it is, and the spraying effect is low and uneven spraying is likely to occur. Therefore, when spraying the chemical solution, it is required to dilute the chemical solution with clean water to an appropriate ratio (usually about three times).
[0003]
Conventionally, as a chemical solution spraying device in which a chemical solution is diluted with clean water and sprayed, for example, as described in JP 2000-135046 A, a chemical solution spraying means in which a large number of spray nozzles are arranged in parallel is used. At the front part of the agricultural tractor, which is disposed in the tillage device and connected to the tillage device, is provided with a stand for holding the fresh water tank, and a support portion for detachably supporting the chemical tank near the fresh water tank. Proposed to install and install a spraying pump that sucks and mixes fresh water and chemicals into the gantry, and discharges and supplies chemicals diluted with clean water from the spraying pump to the chemical spraying means Has been.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the proposed chemical spraying device, the tractor is equipped with a fresh water tank, a chemical solution tank, a spraying pump, etc., so it is necessary to make a major modification to the tractor, which would increase the cost of the device. was there.
[0005]
Also, when using highly corrosive chemicals such as carbam agents, the rubber seals of the spray pump are likely to be corroded, resulting in lower durability and not using rubber seals to improve durability. If a pump (such as one that rotates the impeller from the outside via a magnet) is used, the self-priming performance will be low, and it will not be possible to sufficiently suck out the chemical from the chemical tank, which will reduce the spraying performance. There was a problem that.
[0006]
Furthermore, in the proposed chemical solution spraying device, a manual pump needs to be provided in order to extract air in the liquid feeding passage, and thus the cost of the device is high and the chemical solution spraying work is troublesome. There was also.

Therefore, the air in each passage can be easily extracted without using a manual pump or the like.
[0021]
Further, when the chemical liquid tank is rotated to the inversion position, the air release cock of the air release means is closed so that the chemical liquid does not enter the insertion pipe and the air release passage constituting the air release means. In addition, if the cock is opened after the reversal, the inside of the chemical tank is always maintained at the atmospheric pressure, so that the supply of the chemical is not hindered.
[0022]

Department and It consists inclined plate portion 38 connected.
[0030]
When the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 are attached to the first and second chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B, the tank holding members 37 and 37 are removed, and the rear surfaces of the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B are disposed. In the opened state, the bottoms 33, the upper and lower clamping members 35, and the left and right clamping members are respectively arranged from the rear so that the chemical tanks 31 and 32 are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the center line C (see FIG. 3). The tank holding members 37, 37 are then placed between both ends of the left and right clamping members 36, 36. Accordingly, the positions of the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 in the vertical, left and right, and front and rear directions are regulated, and are firmly fixed and held on the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B.
[0031]
Further, the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B are rotated in an upright position (the posture of the right chemical liquid tank 32 in FIGS. 2 and 3) where the chemical liquid inlet / outlets 31a and 32a are on the top side and the chemical liquid inlet / outlet. As a rotation restricting means for restricting at two positions, the reversal position (the posture of the left side chemical liquid tank 31 in FIGS. 2 and 3) where 31a and 32a are the ground side, on the left and right of the bottom side of the fresh water tank holding member 20 The rotation restricting stoppers 40 and 40 are projected, and the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 are held in the upright position by the lower left and right clamping members 36 and 36 of the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B. Accordingly, plate-shaped first locking members 41, 41 that are brought into contact with and locked by the rotation restricting stoppers 40, 40 project, and the inclined plates in the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A, 30B are projected. Part 3 , 38, the second locking members 42, 42 are held in contact with and locked to the rotation restricting stoppers 40, 40 in order to hold the chemical liquid tanks 31, 32 in the inverted position. Projected.
[0032]
Therefore, the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 are initially locked with the first locking member 41 coming into contact with the rotation stopper 40 like the right chemical liquid tank 32 in FIGS. The chemical liquid inlet / outlet ports 31a and 31b are mounted and held in the upright position on the top side by the first and second chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B, and thereafter, when the spraying operation starts, the drawing is started from the upright position. 2.

Locked in position.
[0033]
In addition, the chemical tanks 31 and 32 are provided with the first locking member 41 and the second locking member at the upright position and the inverted position, respectively, due to the arrangement structure (depending on the position of the tube shaft 39 and the center of gravity, etc.). A moment in a direction in which the locking member 42 is pressed against the rotation restricting stopper 40 is generated, and the upright position and the inverted position are maintained unless a turning force is applied from the outside. , 32 need not be provided with fixing means for fixing at the upright position and the inverted position.
[0034]
Further, two fresh water tanks are configured and arranged on the left and right sides excluding the central part of the fresh water tank holding member 20 above the central part of the tillage part 2, the connecting mechanism 7 and the Since equipment such as a gear box of the tillage unit 2 is arranged, when arranging a single fresh water tank on the tillage unit 2, the fresh water tank should not interfere with the coupling mechanism 7 and the like. This is to prevent the working state of the tilling device from becoming unstable due to an increase in the position of the center of gravity of the entire device.
[0035]
On the other hand, between the tillage part 2 and the fresh water tanks 21 and 22, the chemical liquid K in the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 is diluted with the fresh water W in the fresh water tanks 21 and 22, and the chemical liquid spraying means 10 is used. A chemical solution dilution supply device 50 for supplying to is disposed.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 4 in addition to FIG. 2, the chemical solution dilution supply device 50 is the right side of the support members 15 and 15 that support the fresh water tank holding member 20 as viewed from the rear. The spray pump 60 installed horizontally and the fresh water W in the fresh water tanks 21 and 22 are passed from the fresh water outlets 21a and 22a provided in the bottom portions 21c and 22c to the inlet 60a of the spray pump 60. The first and second water supply passages 51 and 52, the common water supply passage 53, the dilution / mixing passage 58, and the chemical liquid K in the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 rotated to the inversion position are guided. (Soil disinfectant such as carbam agent) is introduced from the chemical solution inlet / outlet 31a, 32a to the diluting / mixing portion 57 made of T-shaped or tridental cheese that forms part of the diluting / mixing passage 58. A flexible liquid guide 70 made of a sibble pipe or the like and a flexible chemical solution K ′ diluted and mixed with fresh water W from the discharge port 60b of the spray pump 60 to the spray nozzles 12, 12,. A discharge passage 63 made of a pipe or the like.
[0037]
The spraying pump 60 preferably uses a type in which an impeller is rotated by an electric motor 62 via a magnet from the outside without using a rubber seal material or the like. It is not so expensive.
[0038]
The water supply passages (the first and second water supply passages 51 and 52, the common water supply passage 53, and the dilution and mixing passage 58), the liquid supply passage 70, and the discharge passage 63 are the lowest of the fresh water tanks 21 and 22. Positioned on the water surface, that is, below the bottoms 21c and 22c, the spray pump 60 is below the fresh water outlets 21a and 22a and the chemical solution inlets 31a and 32a rotated to the ground side. Is distributed.
[0039]
The liquid supply passage 70 is provided with a flow rate adjusting valve 75 for chemical liquid and a flow meter 73 with an electromagnetic sensor 67, and in the downstream side thereof, the passages 51, 52, 53, 58, 63, 70 are provided. Air venting means that can be arbitrarily opened and closed for venting air is provided. The air venting means is, for example, disposed in an air vent passage 76 made of a flexible pipe or the like connected to the highest portion (the flow rate adjusting valve 75) of the liquid feeding passage 70 and a lower portion of the air vent passage 76. The upper part of the air vent passage 76 is attached to a portion higher than the highest water surface of the fresh water tanks 21, 22, for example, the upper side of the fresh water tank holding member 20.
[0040]
The first water supply passage 51 is provided with a three-way switching cock 49 for replenishing fresh water and switching a fresh water tank, and the common water supply passage 53 is provided with a flow control valve 55 for fresh water and an opening / closing cock 56 for fresh water. In the discharge passage 63, the operation member 66 is swung in conjunction with the vertical movement of the tillage portion 2 (the flat plate 69) via a wire or the like to open and close the discharge passage 63. A spray opening / closing valve 65 is provided.
[0041]
When performing the chemical solution spraying operation using the tillage device 1 having the chemical solution spraying means 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, first, the first and second fresh water tanks 21 and 22 are filled with water. After that, the three-way switching cock 49 is switched to the second fresh water tank 22 side to open the fresh water opening / closing cock 56 and open the air venting cock 77. As a result, the fresh water W of the second fresh water tank 22 flows into the passages 51, 52, 53, 58, 70 and the spraying pump 60 disposed below the water surface position. The air in each of the passages 51, 52, 53, 58, 70 and the like is pushed out by W through the fresh water opening / closing cock 56 and the air vent passage 77. For this reason, the air in each passage can be easily extracted without using a manual pump or the like.
[0042]
Next, the air vent cock 77 is closed, and one end of the flexible pipe forming the liquid supply passage 70 is connected to one of the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 (here, the left chemical liquid tank 31) held in the upright position. Connected to the chemical solution inlet / outlet 31a, the insertion pipe 44 is attached to the atmosphere release port 31b, and one end of a flexible pipe forming the atmosphere release passage 45 is connected to the insertion pipe 44, and the atmosphere release cock 46 is closed. In this state, the chemical tank 31 is rotated to the inversion position and locked at that position. As a result, the chemical liquid K hardly enters the insertion pipe 44 and the atmosphere opening passage 45. After that, if the cock 46 is opened, the chemical liquid tank 31 is always maintained at atmospheric pressure. There will be no hindrance to supply.
[0043]
Subsequently, when electric power is supplied to the electric motor 62 to drive the spraying pump 60 and the tilling part 2 is operated to start tilling work by the tilling part 2, the leveling plate 69 is moved by the ground G. In conjunction with this, the spraying opening / closing valve 65 is opened, the chemical solution K in the chemical solution tank 31 is mixed with the fresh water W in the dilution mixing unit 57 and diluted, and the diluted chemical solution K ′ Is discharged from the pump 60 to the chemical solution spraying means 10 through the discharge passage 63 and sprayed to the soil from the spray nozzles 12, 12,... Of the chemical solution spraying means 10.
[0044]
At this time, while looking at the flow meter 73, the opening degree of the chemical liquid flow rate adjustment valve 75 and the fresh water flow rate adjustment valve 55 is adjusted to spray the amount of the diluted chemical liquid K ′ according to the traveling speed or the like. Is done.
[0045]
In the tilling device 1 provided with the chemical solution spraying means 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, a fresh water tank holding member 20 that holds fresh water tanks 21 and 22 on the tillage unit 2, a chemical solution tank 31, Since the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B to which 32 is detachably attached and the chemical liquid dilution supply device 50 including the spraying pump 60 are provided, all the tanks and devices necessary for spraying the chemical liquid are integrated. As a result, the agricultural tractor is not required to be greatly modified, and the existing agricultural tractor can be used as it is, and the manufacturing cost and the apparatus cost can be kept low.
[0046]
Further, the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 are held in the chemical liquid tank holding members 30A and 30B in an upright state with the chemical liquid inlets and outlets 31a and 32a on the top side when not in use. Since the chemical solution inlet / outlet 31a, 32a is rotated by a predetermined angle so as to be on the ground side and is held at the reverse position, when spraying the chemical solution, the fresh water W in the fresh water tanks 21, 22 is caused by the action of gravity. Naturally flows from the fresh water outlets 21a, 22a provided in the bottom portions 21c, 22c to the spraying pump 60 through the first and second water supply passages 51, 52, the common water supply passage 53, and the dilution and mixing passage 58. In addition, the chemical liquid K in the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 is also swung to the ground side from the chemical liquid inlet / outlet 31a and 32a via the liquid supply passage 70 and the dilution and mixing passage 58. It is caused to naturally flow down to the dilution mixer 57.
[0047]
For this reason, even when a spraying pump with low self-priming performance is used, the chemical liquid K can be diluted with clean water W to a predetermined magnification and sprayed in a required amount, and the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid tanks 31 and 32 can be dispersed. Since the entrance / exit 31a, 32a is the ground side and the chemical solution K is led out therefrom, it can be used up almost completely without leaving the chemical solution.
It is preferable that the electromagnetic sensor 67 of the flow meter 73 detects that the chemical has run out and the spray pump 60 is automatically stopped via the relay 68 and the tank switching time is notified by a buzzer or the like.
[0048]
