Description

  The present invention relates to a bulb planting machine for planting a bulb such as garlic at a predetermined position of a field basket. Although it relates to a garlic planting machine in detail, it can be applied as a planting machine for bulbs having a similar shape other than garlic.

  The garlic planting is generally planted in four rows on a cocoon having a width of about 110 cm as shown in FIG. 22 as a cross-sectional explanatory view of the heel, so that the interval LL between the rows L is about 25 cm. Further, as shown in a plan view of the ridge M in FIG. 23, the interval NL between the planting positions N before and after one row L is 15 cm to 17 cm, which is narrower than the width between the rows.

  Bulbs G such as garlic have a pointed budding part A which is a future germination part and a rooting part B which is a slightly flat surface as a rooting part as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20. The budding part A and the rooting bottom part B are located almost on opposite sides. And for the garlic bulb, the outer peripheral part between the budding part A and the rooting part B has almost one curved surface part C and two flat parts D, and between the two flat parts D, D A ridge line portion E which is an acute corner portion is formed.

  Bulbs such as garlic are planted with the root B being the bottom and the budding part A being the top, but germinating after planting, and when the bud grows as a leaf F, the ridgeline E is the center line and is roughly left and right. (See FIG. 21. Note that FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram. Actually, when the leaf begins to grow, the original bulb disappears small and a new bulb not shown is growing.)

  Therefore, as an ideal planting, all the garlic bulbs should be 5-7 cm in depth from the budding part A to the bud surface with the rooting part B facing down and the budding part A up. It is desirable to plant the ridge line portion E in the row direction.

  When all the bulbs such as garlic are planted manually, it can be planted in the ideal orientation and depth, but it places a heavy burden on the operator's waist and is particularly difficult to harvest garlic. In the case of a farm with a large planting area where multiple rows, usually four rows, are planted on a single vine for the purpose of a large number of people, a lot of manpower and long hours of work are required, and the burden on the worker becomes very large. Was difficult.

  Prior art 1 to prior art 3 include “gripping arm 16 (prior art 1)”, “plant holder 20 (prior art 2)”, “planting holder 2 (prior art 3) for planting“ bulbs such as garlic ”. ) ”.

  The “gripping arm 16” described in the prior art 1 rotates around a movable shaft 14 that is rotated by power from an engine, is fixed in a planting posture, and after planting, a cord-like member 56 such as a chain. Thus, the movable shaft 14 is moved downward. This is a complicated mechanism using chains and the like, and the transmission mechanism is also complicated. Therefore, there is a problem that the planting speed is relatively slow and failure is likely to occur.

  Further, the “plant holder 20” described in the prior art 2 is configured such that two cranks are connected by a rod and rotated by the rotation of the crank. Then, when the rod comes to the lowest position, the planting release means operates. Furthermore, the “planting holder 2” described in the prior art 3 is provided in the circulation mechanism 3 composed of the wire 31 with the outlet facing downward, circulates according to the wire 31, and is planted by the upper and lower sides of the extrusion rod 4. Was planting.

  As described above, the planting holder of the planting machine disclosed in the prior arts 1 to 3 includes a chain, a crank mechanism, a circulating wire mechanism, and the like, and the transmission mechanism and the operation mechanism are complicated, so that the malfunction tends to break down. In addition, there was a problem that the operation was not smooth and the operation speed was not improved. Therefore, there was a problem that the speed of the traveling machine could not be improved and the planting speed was not improved.

  Furthermore, the planting holder of the planting machine disclosed in the prior arts 1 to 3 has a vertical operation in which the planting holder enters the soil, or a vertical operation up to the soil surface is a parabolic operation by the advance of the traveling machine. Therefore, there has been a problem that it is uncertain to plant with certainty in the vertical direction of the bulb, the horizontal direction, and the depth of planting.

  The related technique 1 filed by the applicant and the inventor is a technique that solves the various problems described above. However, “the reverse speed of the holder longitudinal movement means is substantially the same as the forward speed of the traveling device. An apparatus for “synchronizing the holder back-and-forth movement means and the traveling device so as to achieve speed” was necessary.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a traveling frame that travels with the traveling device, and a movement that can be engaged with and fixed to the traveling frame, and that can be disengaged from the traveling frame and moved back and forth in the traveling direction. Bulb holder for bulbs such as garlic provided on the moving frame, a frame, holder upside down means for turning the bulb planting holder up and down around the horizontal rotation axis provided on the moving frame, and bulb planting It is a bulb planting device such as garlic which has a holder vertical movement means for moving the holder vertically and a bulb planting means for pushing the bulb loaded in the bulb planting holder out of the holder and pushing it into the soil for planting. Yes,
When the bulb planting holder pushes the loaded bulb out of the holder and pushes it into the soil for planting, the bulb planting holder stops at the planting position with respect to the forward traveling of the traveling frame accompanying the forward traveling of the traveling device. A bulb planting device for garlic or the like, which is characterized by not moving forward, is proposed.

Also, a traveling frame that travels with the traveling device, a moving frame that is engaged with and fixed to the traveling frame and that can be moved back and forth in the traveling direction by disengaging the traveling frame, garlic provided on the moving frame, etc. A bulb-planting holder for bulbs, a holder upside-down means for turning the bulb-planting holder upside down around a horizontal rotation axis provided on the moving frame, and a holder up-and-down moving means for moving the bulb-planting holder vertically And a bulb planting device such as garlic that has a bulb planting means that pushes the bulb loaded in the bulb planting holder from the holder and pushes it into the soil to plant it.
When the bulb planting holder pushes the loaded bulb out of the holder and pushes it into the soil for planting, the moving frame provided with the bulb planting holder and the traveling frame that travels forward together with the traveling device are engaged. The moving frame moves freely in the longitudinal direction with respect to the traveling frame where the traveling frame travels, and the bulb planting holder stops at the planting position and moves forward with respect to the forward traveling of the traveling frame accompanying the forward traveling of the traveling device. We propose a bulb planting device such as garlic, which is characterized by the absence of garlic.

  Further, the holder upside down means flips the bulb planting holder up and down and moves the moving frame in the front-rear direction with respect to the running frame. A planting device is proposed.

  Furthermore, the holder vertical movement means moves the bulb-planting holder in the vertical direction together with the moving frame with respect to the traveling frame to disengage the traveling frame, and the traveling front-rear direction with respect to the traveling frame on which the moving frame travels. A bulb planting device for garlic or the like, which is in a free-moving state or described in column 0018 column 0019 or column 0020, is proposed.

  According to the present invention, planting of bulbs such as garlic in an ideal direction is possible in a short time without relying on manual work even in the case of a field with a large planting area where multiple rows, usually four rows, are planted on one ridge. It became possible to plant at a depth, and work efficiency was improved.

  Furthermore, compared with the prior art, the transmission mechanism and the operation mechanism are more robust, and the power transmission and operation can be performed reliably, so that the failure is reduced and the maintenance inspection work can be easily performed.

  Further, as in Related Art 1, “an apparatus for synchronizing the holder back-and-forth movement means and the traveling device so that the reverse speed of the holder back-and-forth movement means is substantially the same as the forward speed of the traveling device” is unnecessary. During the operation of pushing the bulb loaded with the bulb planting holder out of the holder and pushing it into the soil for planting, the bulb planting holder Since it is the structure which stops at a planting position and does not move forward, it became possible to plant in the position decided by making the direction of a bulb upward with the simpler structure than the related art 1.

A connecting link 88 to be moved is provided.

  Next, an operation of the bulb planting device 1 such as garlic provided in the traveling device 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  Two workers normally sit on the worker's seat 22 of the traveling device 2, and one of the operators operates the driving operation unit 21 of the traveling device 2 and steers it. The engine is started by the operation of the driving operation unit 21 and the crawler traveling unit 20 is rotated via the transmission to cause the traveling device 2 to travel. The traveling device 2 causes the crawler traveling unit 20 to travel between the ridges so as to straddle the ridge M.

  In the bulb planting apparatus 1 such as garlic, the bulb G is placed on the placement portion 31 of the bulb placement plate 3 in FIG. 3, and the push rod 50 of the bulb loading means 5 is located above the placement portion 31. The bulb holding part 40 of the bulb planting holder 4 is located below the placement part 31. When there are two workers, the bulb G is inserted into the placement portion 31 with the bulbs G placed in front of the work sheet 22 two by two. At this time, the rotation of the bulb mounting plate 3 is stopped.

  Next, the push rod driving unit 54 of the bulb loading means 5 is operated, the push rod driving unit 54 lowers the lifting unit 52 along the lifting rod 53, and the push rod 50 attached to the lifting unit 52 is also lowered. . Then, the push rod 50 pushes and loads the bulb G placed on the placement portion 31 to the bulb holding portion 40 of the bulb implantation holder 4 located below (FIG. 4).

  After the push rod 50 is lowered to the position where the bulb holding part 40 of the bulb planting holder 4 is loaded with the bulb G, the push rod driving unit 54 immediately raises the raising / lowering unit 52 along the raising / lowering rod 53 to return the push rod 50 to the original position. (FIG. 5).

  When the push rod 50 is positioned above the placement portion 31, the circular plate-like body 30 of the bulb placement plate 3 rotates 90 degrees, and the next placement portion 31 on which the bulb G is placed is moved to the push rod 50. Position it in the lower position. As the circular plate 30 of the bulb mounting plate 3 rotates, the cylinder rod 61b of the holder upside down means 6 begins to expand, and the rack 62 attached to the tip of the cylinder rod 61b moves forward to move the pinion 63. Is rotated around the horizontal rotation shaft 60 (FIGS. 14 and 15).

  The rotation frame 64 to which the planting holder 4 is attached by the rotation of the pinion starts to rotate around the horizontal rotation shaft 60, and the bulb planting holder 4 starts to be turned upside down together with the extrusion shaft 90. And since the bulb planting holder 4 is turned upside down by 180 degrees and the bulb holding portion 40 faces downward, the tip A of the bulb G faces upward (FIG. 15).

  Further, the rotation of the horizontal rotation shaft 60 due to the extension of the cylinder rod 61b of the holder up / down reversing means 6 turns the moving frame 11 on the traveling frame 10 by rotating the rotating arm 65d of the holder front / rear moving means 65 by 180 degrees. To the front (FIGS. 6 and 7). In this operation, the distance between the hook pin 65c and the horizontal rotation shaft 60 is reduced via the link plate 65e by the rotation of the rotation arm 65d by 180 degrees, but the hook pin 65c is engaged with the engagement recess 65b of the guide plate 65a. Since the guide plate 65 a is fixed to the traveling frame 10, the longitudinally moving body 112 of the moving frame 11 slides on the horizontal guide rail 100 of the traveling frame 10, and the moving frame 11 moves forward with respect to the traveling frame 10. Move to.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the multi-film upper surface abutting portion 202 made of a roller of the multi-film upper surface position detecting means 200 traces the upper surface of the multi-film so that the multi-film upper surface and the claw surface on which the crawler traveling unit 20 travels are Even if a height difference occurs, the angle of the rotating portion 203 of the moving frame 11 and the sensor arm 201 changes with respect to the upper surface of the multi-film, and the bulb planting holder vertical movement control means corresponds to the angle change. (Not shown) is operated to operate the vertical cylinder 70 of the holder vertical movement means 7 to extend the cylinder rod 70b and adjust the descending distance.

  By the operation of the vertical cylinder 70 of the holder vertical movement means 7, the lifting frame 72 is lowered, the planting holder frame 111 fixed to the lifting frame 72 is lowered, the punching device 8 is lowered and the upper surface of the multi-film, or Touch the ground. At the same time, when the planting holder frame 111 is lowered, the hook pin 65c of the holder back-and-forth moving means 65 descending together with the planting holder frame 111 is disengaged from the engaging recess 65b of the guide plate 65a fixed to the traveling frame 10. When the hook pin 65c and the engagement recess 65b are disengaged, the moving frame 11 is movable back and forth with respect to the traveling frame 10.

  In synchronism with the lowering of the elevating frame 72 by the up / down cylinder 70 of the holder up / down moving means 7, the hole punching device 8 operates to open a hole for bulb planting in the multi-film covering the bulb planting basket M. Each punching portion 87 of the punching device 8 pierces the four bar-shaped claws 80 to the center of the planned planting position, and then tears the upper surface of the multi-film while moving from the center to the peripheral direction.

  Next, the pushing cylinder 91 of the bulb planting means 9 is actuated, and the pushing shaft 90 is lowered from the base portion toward the tip portion of the outer peripheral holding portion 41 of the bulb planting holder 4. The push-out shaft 90 pushes the bulb G loaded in the bulb holding part 40 of the bulb planting holder 4 from the bulb holding part 40 and the outer circumference holding part 41 and pushes it into the soil at the planting position to plant it at a certain depth (see FIG. 9).

  During the time when the pushing shaft 90 of the bulb planting means 9 is lowered and raised, the traveling frame 10 moves forward at the traveling speed of the traveling device 2, but the planting holder frame 111 of the moving frame 11 is formed by the punching device 8. Is stopped at that location due to the ground friction of the traveling frame 10 and moves relatively rearward along the horizontal guide rail 100 of the traveling frame 10.
