Description

  The present invention relates to a front mower in which a mower deck is mounted at the front portion of a tractor vehicle body, and a blower that sucks and conveys turf grass cut by the mower deck and conveys and stores it in a collector at the rear portion of the vehicle body.

The mower deck and the collector are connected by a shooter and blower, and the turf grass cut by the mower deck is sucked and transported by the blower and sent to the collector for collection, and this blower is placed at the rear of the driver's seat The technique (for example, refer patent document 1) etc. to perform is known.
JP-A-63-98313 (first page, FIG. 1).

  In the front mower and the mid mower, a shooter is provided on the side or abdomen of the tractor vehicle body, and a blower is connected to the rear upper part of the shooter so that the cut grass is transported to the rear upper collector. The turfgrass conveyance path in a blower or the like becomes long, and is likely to cause clogging. When this clogging occurs, a part of these conveyance systems is opened to remove the clogged turfgrass. In addition, if the blower fan is rotated at a high speed in order to increase the conveying capacity of the blower, noise is increased and the work fatigue level is easily increased.

The invention according to claim 1 supports a transmission case (3) for inputting engine (2) power to the vehicle body frame (16), and the HST pump shaft (32) is provided in the transmission case (3). An interlocking mechanism is arranged at the rear, and the fan shaft (8) of the blower fan (10) that sucks and conveys turf grass harvested by the pair of left and right mower decks (17) and transports and accommodates it in the upper collector (23) is interlocked. The interlocking mechanism is arranged at the front, the transmission shaft (56, 37) to the front wheel (12) is arranged at the front and rear intermediate part, and the HST case (1) is attached to the rear side surface of the transmission case (3). , the front side of the transmission case (3), fitted with spacers (4) interposed in the polymerized state blower case for interior blower fan (10) (9), the blower casing (9) of the vehicle body frame ( In front of 6), below the driver's seat (11), and, provided between the left and right sides of the front wheels (12), inlet (7) is formed on the front surface of the blower case (9), inlet ( 7), the connection guide cylinder (53) is detachably provided, and the suction port (7) with the connection guide cylinder (53) removed is formed to be larger than the rotation diameter of the blower fan (10). A fan boss (54) fitted from the front side to the fan shaft (8) of the fan (10) is attached and fixed by a lock bolt (55) from the front end of the fan shaft (8). 53) The upper side of the front end portion of the suction cylinder (21) is formed in a slanting downward tilted posture, and the suction cylinder (21) is slanted obliquely upward from the discharge port (24) in the rear central portion of the mower deck (17). the end removably fitted inside the connection guide cylinder (53) Configuration and the that the front mower, characterized in that.

In the first aspect of the present invention, since the HST case 1 is attached to the rear side of the transmission case 3 and the blower case 9 is provided at a lower position below the driver's seat 11, the transport path from the mower deck to the rear collector is shortened. Thus, the suction conveyance of the mowing turf grass from the front mower deck 17 by the suction cylinder 21 can be performed smoothly, and grass clogging is reduced. In addition, since the blower case 9 is supported by the spacer 4, the bearing and mounting structure of the blower 5 can be stabilized, and maintenance can be facilitated.
