Description

  The present invention is a scraper working machine equipped with a tilling rotor that is attached to the rear part of a tractor and cultivates a farm field, and in particular, for the purpose of preventing scattering of mud and the like to be splattered by tilling claws protruding from the tilling rotor. The present invention relates to a scraping work machine in which a mudguard material is attached to the front side of a shield cover, and a mudguard material used therefor.

  When the tilling rotor of the substitute scraper rotates down-cut, the muddy water scraped when the tilling claw comes out of the muddy water surface is scattered toward the shield cover by centrifugal force. This muddy water flows toward the front side along the inner peripheral surface of the shield cover. However, since the muddy water drops from the front end portion of the shield cover, it hardly scatters to the tractor.

  However, when the tilling nail bites into the muddy water, the surface of the water is struck violently, so that the muddy water scatters, and the scattered muddy water may reach the tractor located in front of the scraper. In such a case, a splash prevention cover may be connected in front of the shield cover for the purpose of preventing muddy water from scattering (see Patent Document 1).

  When the anti-scattering cover is connected in a state of being suspended in front of the shield cover as in Patent Document 1, the anti-scattering cover faces the direction along the direction of rotation of the tilling rotor. It is considered that the mud and mud scattered can be blocked to some extent.

  However, since the anti-scatter cover is connected to the shield cover and suspended, the anti-scatter cover may be caught on the tilling rotor side during scraping work, or it may turn up to the front side due to the scattered mud. The scattering prevention cover cannot be expected to have a stable scattering prevention effect. In this respect, it is considered to be advantageous to fix the scattering prevention cover to the shield cover in a state in which the scattering prevention cover is inclined from the upper side to the lower side in the advancing direction (see Patent Document 2).

  On the other hand, the plowing machine runs on the field mainly for the purpose of cultivating the field where mud is stored on the mud before the planting of the paddy field. Since these floating substances are often caught in seedlings at the time of planting, it is desirable to remove them from the field. From the viewpoint of removing this floating substance, a front rake body is also attached to the work machine to draw the floating substance such as firewood to the center side in the work machine width direction in order to plow the floating substance into the cultivated soil. Reference 3).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-16904 (Claim 1, Claim 2, Paragraphs 0011, 0017 to 0019, FIGS. 1 to 4) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-43406 (Specification, page 3, line 5 to line 17, drawing) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-13008 (claim 8, paragraphs 0021, 0022, 0026, FIG. 8)

  In Patent Document 2, as described above, the scattering prevention cover is fixed to the shield cover while being tilted backward from the top to the bottom, but the scattering prevention cover itself prevents the muddy water from scattering while performing the scraping work. It does not have the function of guiding the floating material in front of it to the center side in the work machine width direction. On the other hand, when the tip of the anti-scattering cover is immersed in muddy water, the suspended matter may be diffused outside the tilling rotor.

  In Patent Document 3, the front rake body connected to the front side of the work machine allows forcibly floating floating material such as firewood existing in front of the work machine into the mud of the field. Since it does not have the function of preventing the scattering of mud and mud from the inside, it is not used as the above-mentioned scattering prevention cover.

  In view of the above background, the present invention proposes a scraper working machine in which a mudguard material having a function of guiding suspended matter to the tilling rotor side is mounted in front of the shield cover, and a mudguard material used therefor.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scraper working machine including a tilling rotor that is attached to a rear portion of a tractor and that rotates around a horizontal axis by receiving power from the tractor and a shield cover that covers the top thereof. ,
An inclined slit with an inclination from the upper end to the lower end in the width direction from the width direction end to the center is entered in the height direction from the lower end, and is divided into a plurality of receiving pieces by the inclined slit. It is a constituent requirement that the shaped mudguard is connected to the front side in the direction of travel of the shield cover.

  Since the front rake body is arranged in front of the work machine (including the skimming work machine) as described above, the floating substance can be guided to the work machine side, so that the floating substance is guided to the shield cover. In order to achieve this, it is appropriate to dispose a member that can correspond to the front rake body in front of a scraping work machine (hereinafter referred to as a work machine in this item). Therefore, a mudguard material is connected to the front side of the shield cover in the traveling direction, and this mudguard material has a function of attracting mud water to guide the mud water present on the front side of the working machine in the traveling direction. It becomes possible.

  Since the mudguard is connected to the front side of the shield cover, the mud and mud that the tilling rotor scoops up is received on the back and dropped, and the tractor is prevented from scattering to the tractor side. From the viewpoint of protecting from muddy water and mud, it is basically formed in a plate shape with length and width in the width direction and height direction of the work equipment. Moreover, from the meaning of dropping muddy water and mud received on the back side to the front side without scattering to the front side, the thickness is such that it is not easily bent and deformed to the front side by pressure due to muddy water or the like.

  On the other hand, since the mudguard material is connected to the shield cover of the work machine, the lower end part may be immersed in the mud water, so that the mudguard material may receive excessive resistance from the rice stocks and soil blocks during work. It is desirable to have elasticity that can be appropriately bent and deformed by resistance from the rice stock and soil mass received by the lower end. From the above, the mudguard is made of a material having moderate elasticity such as a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, or a rubber (synthetic rubber), or a metal material such as a steel plate or stainless steel. Produced.

  The slant slit that divides the mudguard material into a plurality of receiving pieces is formed as a gap with a width that penetrates the mudguard material in the thickness direction by being cut out from the lower end of the mudguard material, and the tilling rotor is scraped up, Most of the muddy water that collided with the back of the receiving piece is concentrated in the inclined slit and lowered to the lower end of the receiving piece.

Of the muddy water that collides with the inner peripheral surface of the shield cover and the back of the receiving piece, the muddy water that collides with the area above the inclined slit descends to the inclined slit along the back of the receiving piece and follows the inclination of the inclined slit. Then, the work machine flows down from the width direction end side toward the center side. At this time, the muddy water descending to the inclined slit flows down along the inclined slit. The water flowing toward the center of the working machine is generated in the muddy water by the flow along the slanted slit of the muddy water.

  Here, for example, when the entire scattering prevention cover is divided into a plurality of cover elements in the length direction (the width direction of the working machine) as in Patent Document 1 described above (Claim 2 of Patent Document 1), Since adjacent cover elements are merely separated by a cut, there is no effect of collecting muddy water flowing down the back of the cover element. Moreover, even if the cut is formed in a slit shape, if the cut is facing the vertical direction on the elevation without tilting, the muddy water that has collided with the back of the cover element (mudguard material) It cannot be guided in any direction in the width direction.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the slant slit that divides the mudguard material into a plurality of receiving pieces is provided with an inclination from the upper side to the lower side toward the center part side from the width direction end side of the work machine. Muddy water splashed by the tilling rotor, collides with the inner peripheral surface of the shield cover, diffuses (disperses), and descends along the mudguard (receiving piece) through the inner peripheral surface on the front side of the shield cover into the inclined slit. It is possible to guide. Furthermore, it is possible to drop to the lower end of the mudguard material (receiving piece) along the inclination.

When the slanted slit inclines from the upper side to the lower side toward the center part from the width direction end side of the work machine, when the muddy water in a lump state falls or falls along the inclined slit, the muddy water is inclined. The slit fills and flows down. At this time, since the inclined slit is inclined downward from the width direction end side of the work machine to the center part side, the muddy water drops at a speed from both sides of the work machine in the width direction toward the center part. Therefore, the muddy water that flows down along the inclined slit is always sent closer to the center of the work machine. It is considered that the muddy water feeding effect by the inclined slits is related to the rotation speed of the tilling rotor, the traveling speed of the working machine, the pitch of the tilling claws in the axial direction of the tilling rotor, and other conditions. The number of the inclined slits is appropriately set according to the pitch of the tilling claws.

For example, in situations where there is a large amount of muddy water that is picked up by tillage claws (which is raked once per rotation and is intermittently generated), such as in situations where the water depth is large (the water level is high) Muddy water flows into the slant slit, and the slant slit is filled with muddy water by the surface tension generated between the downward surface facing the width direction end of the work implement and the upward surface facing the center of the work implement. Therefore, the tendency to generate a strong water flow from both sides in the width direction of the work machine toward the center is increased.

  Conversely, when the amount of muddy water descending from the shield cover to the mudguard is small, most of the muddy water is along the downward surface located above the inclined slit due to viscosity, of the downward and upward surfaces facing the inclined slit. Tend to flow down. For this reason, the amount of muddy water that reaches (falls) to the upward surface and flows down is small, and although the water force is lower than when the amount of muddy water is large, a water flow toward the central portion side is generated along the inclined slit.

  The slanted slit formed in the mudguard material is an air gap, so it has inner surfaces facing each other (upward surface and downward surface), but if there is a large amount of muddy water falling to the back of the mudguard material, it will fall from above Alternatively, the falling water flows down along the slit in a state where the muddy water is filled and held in the slit by the surface tension generated between both inner peripheral surfaces constituting the inclined slit (the muddy water stretches the film in the slit). At this time, both inner peripheral surfaces of the inclined slit function to give the muddy water a speed toward the center of the work implement. The amount of muddy water picked up by the tillage nail during work varies depending on the situation.During actual work, the time during which muddy water flows down along the downward surface is longer. Since the water flow toward the central portion side along the inclined slit is also generated by flowing down along the inclined slit, the inclined slit functions to give a speed to the muddy water.

The muddy water that flows down from the inclined slit is sent closer to the center of the work machine, so that a flow from the end of the work machine in the width direction toward the center can be generated on the muddy water surface in front of the work machine. As a result, floating materials such as dredging floating on the muddy water existing in front of the work machine are naturally guided to the work machine side (retained on the spot or flow outside the work width (work machine width)). Is not realized).

  When the floating material is guided to the work machine side and taken into the shield cover, the floating material is caught in the tilling rotor and embedded (mud) in the mud. Since the suspended matter is embedded in the mud, the entrapment in the seedling due to the floating matter floating at the time of rice planting is eliminated, and the influence of the suspended matter on the seedling and the planting operation are avoided.

The mudguard material alone is attached to the rear part of the tractor, and is connected to the shield cover of the scraper working machine including the tilling rotor that rotates around the horizontal axis by receiving the power from the tractor and the shield cover that covers the top,
An inclined slit with an inclination from one side to the other side in the length direction from the upper side to the lower side is inserted in the height direction from the lower end, and has a shape divided into a plurality of receiving pieces by the inclined slit . It is set as a constituent requirement (claim 6).

Here, “one side in the length direction” corresponds to “the width direction end side of the cutting work machine” in claim 1, and “the other side in the length direction” is “the center in the width direction of the cutting work machine in claim 1”. Corresponds to “part side”. “One side in the length direction” and “the other side” mean that a single mudguard can be used with the front side and the back side reversed. If two mudguards of the same shape and dimensions are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center in the width direction of the scraping work machine, the slanted slit "from the top to the bottom in the width direction end to the center part of the scraping work machine It is inclined to the side and is inserted in the height direction from the lower end ”(by claim 1).

  There may be one mudguard material in the width direction of the work machine, and it may have a length that covers the entire width (full length) of the shield cover, or multiple sheets, continuous or intermittently arranged, so that the total width of the shield cover In some cases. In the case where the mudguards are arranged intermittently, the mudguards adjacent to each other are arranged at intervals such that mud water is not discharged from the gap between them to the surface side of the mudguard.

  When the mudguards are arranged over the entire width of the shield cover, there is no gap between adjacent mudguards, so that the effect of preventing muddy water and the like is prevented. However, in the portion directly behind the tractor having a three-point link or the like, muddy water is blocked by these members, so there is little influence even if there is no mudguard.

After all, it is preferable that the mudguard material for the purpose of preventing muddy water scattering on the tractor is disposed over the entire portion except the portion directly behind the tractor. It is desirable that the slant slits of each mudguard material be formed in the entire width direction of the mudguard material, but if it is formed at least in the region on the width direction end side, mud water or suspended matter is moved to the center side of the work implement. Since an inducing effect is expected, it is sufficient if it is on the end side.

  The mudguard is connected to the shield cover in the height direction of the working machine, and in principle, has a height at which the lower end or the lowermost end contacts the muddy water surface or is immersed in the muddy water during work.

The mudguard is divided into a plurality of receiving pieces by inclined slits , so that at least one inclined slit is formed in the mudguard. In order for the inclined slits to exhibit the effect of guiding muddy water or the like to the central portion side of the work machine, it is only necessary that a plurality of inclined slits exist as the entire work machine on which the mudguard is attached.

The mudguard material has one or more inclined slits in the height direction from the lower end, and is divided into a plurality of receiving pieces by the inclined slits. do.

  When multiple mudguards are mounted in the width direction of the shield cover, the mudguards are mounted on the shield cover in a line-symmetrical or plane-symmetrical state with respect to the center in the width direction as shown in FIGS. The When one mudguard has a length over the entire width of the work implement, a plurality of inclined slits are formed symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal center of the mudguard.

When the lower end of the mudguard is horizontal as shown in FIG. 10, the lower end of the mudguard itself does not act positively to generate a flow in the mud, but for example as shown in FIG. 11- (a) If the lower end of each receiving piece is inclined from the lower side to the upper side from the width direction end side to the center side of the work implement (Claim 2), the lower end portion of the mudguard is immersed in the muddy water. In the case of FIG. 2- (b), it is possible to have a function of moving muddy water present in front of the mudguard material from the width direction end side to the center side of the work machine.

When the muddy water present in front of the mudguard is about to be pushed forward by the lower end of each receiving piece, the muddy water is immersed in the muddy water because of the resistance that the muddy water receives from the muddy water of the receiving piece. Because the resistance received by the muddy water is small, the muddy water tends to go to the side where the resistance from the receiving piece is small. As a result, in the muddy water present in front of the mudguard, a water flow is generated at the lower end of each receiving piece that moves from the end in the width direction of the work machine with high resistance to the center with low resistance. Therefore, the floating material is guided to the work machine side and is promoted to be embedded in the mud by the tilling rotor.

  Trying to go to the side where the resistance from the receiving piece is small is also applicable to the suspended matter blocked by the mudguard material, so that the suspended matter is guided to the center in the width direction of the work machine by riding on the water flow generated in the muddy water. In addition to this, it is also guided directly to the center side in the work machine width direction.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11- (b) and (c), the bottom surface (downward surface) of the mudguard material (receiving piece) with the slope shown in FIG. 11- (a) is the surface from the back side of the mudguard material. If an inclination is applied from the lower side to the upper side toward the side, the effect of inducing muddy water that collides with the lower end surface of the mudguard material to the center side of the work implement in the range of the thickness of the mudguard material is enhanced. In FIG. 11- (c), the right side is the front side of the mudguard.

In this case, when the muddy water present in front of the mudguard material shown in FIG. 11 is to be pushed forward from the lower end portion of the mudguard material to the front side in the traveling direction, resistance is also applied as indicated by an arrow at the lower end surface of each receiving piece. Since the water flow which moves from the width direction edge part side of a big working machine to the central part side where resistance is small is generated, the guidance effect to the working machine width direction central part side with respect to muddy water and suspended solids is enhanced.

In the case of FIG. 11, the lower end portion of each receiving piece is inclined so that the end portion of the lower end portion closer to the width direction end portion side becomes the lowest end level. When this lower end is immersed in the muddy water surface (level shown in FIG. 8 (b)), a gap is formed between the lower end near the center in the width direction of the work implement and the water surface due to the inclination of the lower end. For this reason, suspended matter is easily taken into the shield cover from the gap due to the water flow generated by the lower end.

The mudguard material in the scraping work machine according to claim 2 is a single unit, and the lower end portion of each receiving piece is provided with an inclination from the lower side to the upper side from the lower side to the upper side. It is set as a constituent requirement (claim 7). Here, “the length direction” means “the length direction” in claim 6, and “the length direction one side” and “the length direction other side” are “the width of the cutting work machine” in claim 1, respectively. It corresponds to the “direction end side” and “width direction center side of the scraping work machine”, and “one side in the length direction” and “the other side” means that the mudguard material is reversed between the front side and the back side. It means that it can be used.

Since the muddy water present in front of the mudguard is pushed out by the front surface of the mudguard during work, the surface of each receiving piece divided into multiple parts across the inclined slit is moved from the end in the width direction of the implement to the center. If a slant is applied from the front to the rear over (Claim 3), the front surface near the lower end of the mudguard moves the muddy water existing in front of the mudguard from the widthwise end to the center of the work implement. It is possible to generate a water stream.

In claim 3, as shown in FIG. 12- (b), the surface of each receiving piece is inclined from the front side toward the rear side from the width direction end portion side to the central portion side of the work implement. In this case, a muddy water present in front of the mudguard material is generated along the surface of each receiving piece to the side of the inclined slit having a small resistance. As in the case of FIG. As shown, a water flow is generated in which the muddy water present in front of the mudguard material moves toward the center of the work implement, and the suspended matter is guided into the shield cover.

Of the upward surface facing the center side of the work machine and the downward surface facing the width direction end part side of the work machine constituting the inclined slit, as shown in FIG. 12- (c), near the lower end open part of the tilt slit It is possible to suppress the flow to the width direction edge part side of a working machine by positioning the upward surface in the side of the mudguard material relative to the downward surface (Claim 4). . Specifically, this means that each receiving piece constituting the mudguard material is twisted to the rear side around the axis in the width direction (height direction) of the mudguard material, and the receiving piece is received. It can be obtained by bending or bending the piece, or by twisting the portion of each receiving piece closer to the center of the work machine toward the back side of the mudguard. The amount of twisting is limited to such an extent that the effect of generating a water flow on the muddy water by the inclined slit 1d is not hindered.

  When the mudguard material has the form shown in FIG. 12- (c), when the twisted portion at the lower end of the mudguard material is immersed in the mud as shown in FIG. Is located on the front side of the upward surface, so that it is located in front of the mudguard material than the case of being located on the back side, and the muddy water that collides (presses) with the surface of each receiving piece is shown in the center of the work equipment as indicated by the arrows. It becomes easy to go around to the back side of the receiving piece located near the part. As a result, it becomes easy to guide the muddy water present in front of the mudguard material from the inclined slit to the back side of the mudguard material, and it is possible to generate a water flow in the muddy water from both sides of the work implement toward the center side.

The mudguard material in the scraping work machine according to claim 3 is a single piece, and the surface of each receiving piece is inclined from the one side in the length direction to the other side from the front to the rear of the cutting work machine. (Claim 8). Here, “the length direction” also means “the length direction” in claim 6, and “the length direction one side” and “the length direction other side” are respectively “the width of the chamfering work machine” in claim 1. It corresponds to the “direction end portion side” and “the central portion side in the width direction of the scraping work machine”.

  Since the mudguard can be worn or damaged by continuous use, it is in principle detachably connected to the shield cover. The mudguard material has a connecting portion 1a connected to the front portion (the hanging portion 2b in the embodiment) located on the upper side (near the upper end portion in the width direction) on the front side in the traveling direction of the shield cover. Each receiving piece 1e is mounted on the work machine while maintaining a state in which the receiving piece 1e can behave independently (FIG. 8). In this case, it does not matter whether it is detachable. The mudguard material having the connection part 1a above becomes part of the shield cover by being connected to the front part of the shield cover at the connection part 1a.

  When the mudguard material is viewed in a longitudinal section, the shield cover in a state where the mudguard material is inclined from the front side to the rear side in the traveling direction of the work machine from the upper side (connecting portion) to the lower side (receiving piece) as shown in FIG. In the case where it is connected to the surface (Claim 5), it is present in front of the mudguard material, so that suspended matter and mud water that collide with the front surface of the mudguard material are guided to the lower side of the mudguard material along the inclined front surface. The effect of taking in floating matter and the like into the shield cover is exhibited.

  In this case, since the back surface of the mudguard material is inclined from the front side in the traveling direction to the rear side, it is easy to take in the muddy water flowing down the back surface of the mudguard material into the inclined slit. The slope from the connecting part to the receiving piece is usually formed by connecting the shield with the mudguard body in an inclined state, but if it does not hinder the water flow generation effect to the mud by the inclined slit, As shown in FIG. 9, the mudguard material itself may be curved or bent around the longitudinal axis of the mudguard material from the front side to the back side.

When the surface of the mudguard material is inclined and connected to the shield cover, the mudguard material (receiving piece) can flow down the mud water that collides with the front surface of the mudguard material. And it does not obstruct the generation of water flow to the working machine center side of the muddy water by the lower end face and front face of the receiving piece. In particular, when the lower end portion of the receiving piece is inclined upward from the end side to the central portion side of the working machine (Claim 2), when the mudguard material is inclined, the front surface of the receiving piece The muddy water that has collided with the water and flowed downward can be taken under the lower end surface. As a result, the muddy water flowing downward from the front surface of the receiving piece can be placed on the muddy water flowing from the lower end surface of the piece toward the center of the work machine. The effect of taking in is easily demonstrated.

Inclined slits marked with over from top to bottom from the widthwise end portion side of the puddling working machine sloped toward the central portion is placed in the height direction from the lower end, the segmented shape into a plurality of receiving pieces by inclined slits Since the mudguard material is connected to the front side of the shield cover in the traveling direction, the tilling rotor can scrape up and collect most of the muddy water that has collided with the back of the receiving piece into the inclined slit and can be lowered to the lower end of the receiving piece.

As a result, of the muddy water that collided with the back of the receiving piece, the muddy water that collided with the range above the inclined slit is lowered to the inclined slit along the back of the piece, and along the inclination of the inclined slit, the width direction of the work machine It can be made to flow down from the end side toward the center side, and the water flow toward the center side of the work implement can be generated in the muddy water by the flow down along the inclined slit.

  Under the transmission frame 14 and the support frame 15, a shield cover 2 that covers the rotation range of the tillage claw 8 and protects the main body 10 </ b> A of the work machine 10 from earth and sand is disposed. As shown in FIG. 1, the shield cover 2 is joined to lower brackets 14 a and 15 a protruding below the transmission frame 14 and the support frame 15 in a connecting member 2 a protruding from the upper surface (outer peripheral surface) thereof. Is supported by both frames 14 and 15.

  The two-dot chain line just below the lower end of the rotary shaft 7 in FIG. 2- (a) and the two-dot chain line passing through the rotary shaft 7 in FIG. 2- (b) indicate the level of the mud surface of the field. It changes according to the change of the depth of the mud surface. 1 and 8 show an example in which the lower end portion of each receiving piece 1e constituting the mudguard 1 is inclined upward from both sides of the work machine 10 to the center side. Under the normal water level situation shown in FIG. 2- (a), the level of the muddy water surface is not immersed in the muddy water as shown in FIG. 8- (a). Under the high water level situation shown in b), about half of the lower end of each receiving piece 1e is immersed in the muddy water as shown in FIG. 8- (b).

  2- (a) and 8- (a), the mudguard 1 receives mainly mud from the inside of the shield cover 2 from the tillage claw 8 on the back, and the mudguard 1 through the inclined slit 1d. After guiding to the lower end of 1, it works to guide to the center side of the work machine 10. In the situation of the water level shown in FIGS. 2- (b) and 8- (b), the mudguard 1 in addition to guiding the mud water scraped by the tilling claws 8 to the lower end through the inclined slit 1d, The muddy water and the suspended matter existing in front are received and guided to the central portion side of the work machine 10 by the lower end portion of the piece 1e.

  As shown in FIG. 2- (a), the floating material easily enters the shield cover 2 in a situation where there is a gap between the lower end of the receiving piece 1e and the water surface. Since each receiving piece 1e is easily bent and deformed by being separated into the receiving pieces 1e, the effect of taking the floating substance into the shield cover 2 is maintained even under the situation shown in FIG. . Since the receiving piece 1e can be restored immediately even when elastically deformed by receiving resistance from a suspended matter or the like, there is no influence on the muddy water inducing effect due to the temporary increase in the interval between the inclined slits 1d.

  3 and 4 show a state in which the mudguard 1 is connected to the main body 10A and the extension work machine 30 when the extension work machine 30 is foldably connected to both sides in the width direction of the main body 10A. 3 shows a state in which the extension work machine 30 is deployed, and FIG. 4 shows a state in which the extension work machine 30 is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the extension work machine 30 has a tilling rotor 34 that rotates simultaneously with the tilling rotor 6 when deployed, a shield cover 31 that covers the top, and end plates 32 that are positioned on both sides of the shield cover 31 in the width direction. The plate 32 is connected to the end plate 21 of the main body 10A in a state where the plate 32 can be unfolded and folded. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the extension work machine 30 is connected to the main body 10 </ b> A so as to be rotatable around an axis inclined in the vertical direction with respect to the traveling direction. The tilling rotor 34 of the extension work machine 30 receives power from the tilling rotor 6 by being connected to the rotary shaft 7 of the tilling rotor 6 of the main body 10A via a clutch during deployment.

  The extension work machine 30 is connected by a pin 23 or the like to a bracket 22 protruding from the upper side of the end plate 21 in the main body 10A at a position closer to the rear side of the end plate 32 in the bracket 33 protruding from the upper side of the end plate 32. As a result, it is connected in a state where it can be expanded and retracted. The extended state and the retracted state of the extension work machine 30 are restrained by the restraining device 35 that holds the respective states. FIG. 6 shows the working state of the work machine 10 in the expanded state of the extension work machine 30.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a leveling plate 40 for leveling the mud surface of the farm is connected to the rear of the main body 10 </ b> A, but is connected to the leveling plate 40 of the main body 10 </ b> A in its unfolded state behind the extension work machine 30. The resulting leveling plate 41 is connected. In FIG. 6, an auxiliary leveling plate 42 is connected to the outside of the leveling plate 41 of the extension work machine 30 in the direction of the width of the work machine 10 to push muddy water and dredged material existing behind the work machine 10 toward the center in the width direction. doing.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mudguard 1 is attached to the shield cover 2 in a suspended state by being connected to the mounting plate 3 facing the front side in the traveling direction of the shield cover 2, specifically, the front side. Installed. The shield cover 2 has a cross-sectional shape surrounding the tilling rotor 6, a front part located near the front of the tilling rotor 6, an intermediate part located above the tilling rotor 6, and a rear located near the rear of the tilling rotor 6. Divided into parts.

  In the drawing, as shown in FIG. 5, which is an enlarged view of FIG. 2, a drooping portion 2b is formed at the front end position of the front portion, and a mounting plate 3 is detachably disposed with respect to the drooping portion 2b. Together with the material 1, the mudguard 1 can be cleaned and replaced by detachably connecting to the hanging portion 2 b by a fastener 4 such as a bolt or a pin. An insertion hole is formed in a portion through which the hanging portion 2b, the mounting plate 3, and the fastener 4 of the mudguard 1 pass. In FIG. 10 etc., the insertion hole of the mudguard 1 is shown by 1b.

  The mudguard 1 may be directly joined by the fastener 4 in contact with the surface of the mounting plate 3, but in the drawing, the binding force of the mudguard 1 by the fastener 4 acts equally on the entire length of the mudguard 1. Thus, a presser material 5 made of a flat bar or the like having a length equivalent to that of the mudguard material 1 (connection portion thereof) is interposed between the fastening material 4 on the surface side of the mudguard material 1. The mudguard 1 is also connected to the shield cover 31 of the extension work machine 30 via the attachment plate 3 or by the fastener 4 via the attachment plate 3 and the pressing member 5. In this case, an insertion hole through which the fastener 4 is inserted is also formed in the pressing member 5.

  In the drawing, in particular, the mounting plate 3 is formed in an L-shaped cross-sectional shape, so that the mudguard 1 overlaps with the hanging portion 2b of the shield cover 2 and receives the supporting portion 3a in a state where the mudguard 1 overlaps with the supporting portion 3a. It is composed of two parts of the contact part 3b that is bent and the tip contacts (contacts) the surface of the front part of the shield cover 2, and when the mudguard 1 is connected to the shield cover 2, the mudguard 1 is placed on the vertical surface. The shield cover 2 is connected to the shield cover 2 at a fixed angle.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the working machine 10 is inclined from the front side to the rear side in the traveling direction from the upper side to the lower side so that the muddy water received by the surface (front surface) of the mudguard 1 can be guided downward. The state where the mudguard 1 is connected is shown. Since the back surface of the mudguard material 1 is inclined from the front side toward the rear side in the traveling direction, the mud flowing down the back surface of the mudguard material 1 can be easily taken into the inclined slit 1d. Guiding the mud water received by the surface of the mudguard 1 is to bend the mudguard 1 itself from the front side to the back side as shown in FIG. 9- (a), or as shown in FIG. 9- (b). It is also possible to bend it. As described above, the degree of bending or bending of the portion to be bent or bent is set to such an extent that the effect of generating the water flow on the muddy water by the inclined slit 1d is not hindered.

  9- (a) and (b), the lower part in the height direction of the mudguard 2 is bent or curved from the surface side to the rear side, so that the mud received on the surface of the mudguard 1 is forward in the traveling direction. Without being pushed out, it is possible to guide to the rear side. When the lower part of the mudguard 1 is curved as shown in FIG. 9- (b), the speed of the mud water contacting the surface of the mudguard 1 is higher than that of the planar shape shown in FIG. 9- (a). Since it decreases as it goes backward, it is considered that the backward guiding effect is high. In the case of FIG. 9- (b), the effect of taking in floating matter existing in front of the mudguard 1 to the back side (inside the shield cover 2) of the mudguard 1 is also high.

  The mudguard 1 is basically on the front side of the shield cover 2 as shown in FIG. 8 which is an enlarged view of both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 10 which is a simple example of a basic shape. It is divided in the height direction (width direction) into a connecting portion 1a connected to the hanging portion 2b and a mud receiving portion 1c that continues to the connecting portion 1a and hangs downward. The connecting portion 1a is formed with an insertion hole 1b through which the fastener 4 is inserted for connection to the hanging portion 2b of the shield cover 2.

  The mud receiving portion 1c is divided into a plurality of receiving pieces 1e by inclined slits 1d inserted in the height direction (width direction) from the lower end. The inclined slit 1d need not be linear, and may be formed in a curved shape. In order to exhibit the effect of guiding muddy water to the center side of the work implement 10 by having a plurality of inclined slits 1d, it is appropriate that a plurality of slant slits 1d are formed on one (mud) mudguard 1. It is.

  The mudguard 1 may be disposed over the entire length of the shield cover 2, but the mud water existing in front of the shield cover 2 is shielded while retaining the mud and mud scraped by the tiller rotor 6 inside the shield cover 2. 2, it is not always necessary to be disposed in the entire length, as long as it can be guided into the interior of the shield cover 2.

  When the muddy water descending along the back surface of the mudguard 1 flows down through the slanted slit 1d, the inclined slit 1d feeds the muddy water closer to the center of the work implement 10 so that the muddy water present on the front of the work implement 10 Then, the flow from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 toward the central part is generated. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the working machine 10 has a slanted slit 1 d from the upper side to the lower side so that muddy water flows down from the inclined slit 1 d at a speed from the both sides in the width direction of the working machine 10 toward the center side. Inclination from both sides in the width direction toward the center is added.

  FIG. 10 shows that “an inclined slit 1d having an inclination from the upper side to the lower side toward the center side from the both sides in the width direction is inserted in the height direction from the lower end, and in the length direction across the inclined slit 1d. The most basic form of the mudguard 1 having the requirement of “having a shape divided into a plurality of receiving pieces 1e” is shown.

  When the mudguard 1 is viewed from the surface side, the inclination angle of the inclined slit 1d with respect to the vertical is arbitrarily set depending on conditions such as the traveling speed of the work machine 10, that is, the tractor 20, the width and height of the inclined slit 1d, and the water depth. The From the experimental results, the inclination angle of the inclined slit 1d with respect to the vertical is preferably about 60 to 80 °, and is about 75 ° in FIGS. The width of the inclined slit (the width in the horizontal direction or the distance between the upward and downward surfaces) is set in the range of about 3 to 15 mm, preferably about 5 to 10 mm. The thickness of the plate-shaped mudguard 1 itself varies depending on the function (performance) required for the mudguard 1, and depends on the material (material) for exhibiting the bending rigidity corresponding to the function. In the case of resin or rubber, it is about 1.5 to 2.5 mm.

  Most of the muddy water descending along the back surface of the mudguard 1 falls down along the inclined slit 1d after reaching the inclined slit 1d. Since the muddy water descending along the inclined slit 1d has a speed along the inclination of the inclined slit 1d and toward the center of the work implement 10, the muddy water existing in the vicinity of the mudguard 1 is attached to the central portion of the work implement 10. Generate a water stream that faces you.

  FIG. 7 shows a state where the working machine 10 in which the mudguard 1 is connected to the hanging part 2b in front of the shield cover 2 is actually working in the field where mud is stored on the mud. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the muddy water descending along the inclined slit 1d moves with a speed directed toward the center of the work machine 10. The two-dot chain line in FIGS. 8- (a) and (b) shows the level of the muddy water surface.

  1 and FIG. 8, in particular, in addition to the requirement of having an inclined slit 1d inclined from the upper side to the lower side, “the lower end portion of each receiving piece 1e is extended from both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 to the central portion side. The form of the mudguard 1 having the requirement of “being inclined from below to above” is shown. When the lower end portion of the receiving piece 1e is inclined as described above, the receiving piece is under a water level situation in which there is a gap between the lower end portion of the receiving piece 1e and the muddy water surface as shown in FIG. The floating matter such as rice stock that collided with the lower end of 1e tends to flow into the center of the work implement 10 having a large distance from the muddy water surface to the lower end of the receiving piece 1e. The effect of guiding to the center side is expected.

  In a situation where the level of the muddy water surface is at the level of the center in the width direction of the lower end of each receiving piece 1e as shown in FIG. 8- (b), the lower end of the receiving piece 1e is immersed in (contacts) the muddy water surface. Thus, since the muddy water is guided from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 to the center side, an effect of generating a water flow directly with respect to the muddy water existing in front of the mudguard 1 is expected.

  When the working machine 10 in which the mudguard 1 is mounted on the shield covers 2 and 31 of the main body 10A and the extension work machine 30 in the state shown in FIG. 3 is actually operated at a speed of about 0.7 m to 1.4 m / sec. (FIG. 7), due to the muddy water flowing down from the slanted slit 1d of the mudguard 1, the mud that exists in front of the mudguard 1 generates a flow toward the center in the width direction of the shield cover 2, and the front of the mudguard 1 It is confirmed that the muddy water present in is guided to the central portion side in the width direction of the shield cover 2.

  As described above, the mudguard 1 is divided into the connecting portion 1a and the mud receiving portion 1c in the height direction, and is divided into a plurality of receiving pieces 1e by a plurality of inclined slits 1d in the width direction (length direction). Is done. FIG. 10 shows an example of a basic mudguard 1 having an inclined slit 1d that is slanted from top to bottom. In FIG. 8, the mudguard 1 is viewed from the surface side (front side in the traveling direction). The surface is shown and the mudguard 1 connected to the right side toward the front in the traveling direction of the shield cover 2 is shown. Accordingly, in the elevation view, the left side is closer to the width direction end of the work machine 10, and the right side is closer to the center.

  Since the most basic mudguard 1 only needs to have inclined slits 1d that are inclined from the upper side to the lower side as shown in FIG. The lower end portion of each receiving piece 1e does not necessarily have to be inclined with respect to the horizontal as shown in FIGS.

  In each receiving piece 1e divided in the width direction (length direction) by the inclined slit 1d, the lower end portion on the downward surface side of the inclined slit 1d is arcuate as shown in FIGS. Since it is formed in a curved shape such as an elliptical arc, it acts on the muddy water descending (flowing down) the inclined slit 1d so as to wrap around the lower end surface continuous with the downward surface as shown by the arrow. 10 is easily shifted to the center side.

  Further, in both cases of FIGS. 8A and 8B, the lower end portion of the receiving piece 1e is inclined upward from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 to the center portion side, so that both side portions are curved. The distance between the lower end portion of the receiving piece 1e and the muddy water surface is increased on the central portion side of the work machine 10 together with the formation in the shape. As a result, the floating substance existing on the front side of the mudguard 1 is easily taken into the shield cover 2 on the center side of the work machine 10 in each receiving piece 1e unit. Moreover, when the lower end part of the receiving piece 1e is immersed in muddy water like FIG.8- (b), it is easy to generate the water flow which goes to the center side of the working machine 10 in muddy water near the water surface.

  In the situation of the water level shown in FIG. 8- (a) (FIG. 2- (a)), the muddy water flowing down the inclined slit 1d is an arrow because there is a distance between the muddy water surface and the lower end of the receiving piece 1e. As shown in Fig. 4, the slanting slit 1d tries to continuously go from the downward surface to the lower end surface. In the situation of the water level shown in FIG. 8- (b) (FIG. 2- (b)), the lower end part of the receiving piece 1e is inclined upward from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 to the center part side, As described above, the muddy water flowing down the inclined slit 1d tends to enter the lower end surface continuous with the downward surface of the inclined slit 1d and easily moves to the center side of the work machine 10, and therefore exists in front of the receiving piece 1e. The muddy water is guided toward the center of the work machine 10 by the lower end of the receiving piece 1e.

  11- (a), like FIGS. 1 and 8, is an example of manufacturing the mudguard 1 having the requirement of having an inclined slit 1d and the requirement of the lower end of each receiving piece 1e being inclined. Show. The arrows in FIG. 11- (a) indicate that the muddy water present in front of the mudguard 1 collides with the lower end of the mudguard 1, and from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 having high resistance to the central part having low resistance. A moving water flow is generated and muddy water flows toward the center of the work machine 10 in the width direction. The lower end surface of the receiving piece 1e does not need to be a flat surface, and may be a curved surface.

  11- (b) is a cross-sectional view of the xx line, as shown in FIG. 11- (c), the surface from the back side of the mudguard 1 to the inclined lower end surface of each receiving piece 1e of the mudguard 1 An example of forming the receiving piece 1e in the case of obtaining the effect of guiding the muddy water colliding with the lower end surface of the mudguard 1 to the central part side of the work machine 10 by providing an inclination from the lower side to the upper side toward the side will be shown. In this case, if the lower end portion (lower end surface) of the receiving piece 1e is formed into a concave or convex cylindrical surface or an elliptically curved surface with a gradually changing curvature, the muddy water can be used as a muddy water. The effect of generating a water flow toward the center side is enhanced.

  FIG. 12 shows that “the surface of each receiving piece 1e divided into a plurality with the inclined slit 1d is inclined from the front side to the rear side from the both sides in the width direction of the work machine 10 to the center side”. The example of manufacture of the mudguard material 1 with these requirements is shown. FIG. 12- (b) shows a cross section taken along line yy of FIG. 12- (a). It does not matter whether the mudguard 1 having the requirement that the surface of the receiving piece 1e is inclined or not has the requirement that the lower end is inclined as shown in FIG. 11, the mudguard 1 is shown in FIG. In the example shown, the surface of the receiving piece 1e may be inclined. FIG. 12- (c) is a modified example of FIG. 12- (b), in which the upward surface in the vicinity of the lower end of the inclined slit 1d is positioned on the rear surface (back surface) side of the mudguard relative to the downward surface. Indicates.

  In the case of FIG. 12, the surface of the receiving piece 1e is inclined by twisting the portion of the receiving piece 1e closer to the center of the work machine 10 toward the back side. In this case, as indicated by the arrow, the muddy water present in front of the mudguard 1 is pushed to the surface of the receiving piece 1e, and is guided to the back side of the mudguard 1 from the inclined slit 1d by the inclination of the surface. It flows toward the center in the width direction. In this case, the surface of the receiving piece 1e does not need to be a flat surface, and may be a curved surface. In the example shown in FIG. 12 as well, the amount of twist deformation is limited to such an extent that the effect of generating the water flow on the muddy water by the inclined slit 1d is not hindered.
