Description

本発明は、薬液貯溜タンクと、該薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液を吸入・吐出する散布ポンプと、該散布ポンプにより圧送されてきた薬液を散布する薬液散布部とを備えた土壌消毒機に関し、特に、消費した薬液の補充構成に関する。   The present invention relates to a soil disinfecting machine comprising a chemical solution storage tank, a spray pump that sucks and discharges the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank, and a chemical solution spraying unit that sprays the chemical solution fed by the spray pump. The present invention relates to a replenishment configuration for consumed chemicals.

従来より、トラクタ等の走行車両に装着される土壌消毒機においては、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液を、ダイアフラムポンプ等の間欠駆動式の散布ポンプにより、薬液用のホースを介して薬液注入爪に圧送し、該薬液注入爪に設けた注入ノズルから土中に注入して散布を行う技術が公知となっている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。該技術では、ホース途中部に薬液の流れを視認可能な確認計を介設し、これにより、薬液注入爪への薬液供給の有無を常に肉眼で監視し、ホース等の薬液流路内での詰まりの発生や薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液切れへの対応を可能としている。   Conventionally, in a soil disinfector mounted on a traveling vehicle such as a tractor, the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank is pumped to a chemical solution injection claw via a chemical solution hose by an intermittent drive spray pump such as a diaphragm pump. And the technique which inject | pours in the soil from the injection nozzle provided in this chemical | medical solution injection | pouring nail | claw, and spreads is known (for example, refer patent document 1). In this technology, a confirmation meter is provided in the middle of the hose so that the flow of the chemical solution can be visually recognized. With this, the presence or absence of the chemical solution supply to the chemical injection nail is always monitored with the naked eye. It is possible to cope with clogging and running out of chemicals in the chemical storage tank.

特開2010−119359号公報JP 2010-119359 A

しかしながら、前記技術によると、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液切れが原因で薬液供給が途絶えた場合には、確認計で確認できた時点で既に薬液流路内へのエアー混入が発生しており、注入ノズルからの液だれの発生や薬液散布精度の悪化が避けられない、という問題があった。更に、このエアー混入に対しては、確認計による監視作業やエアー抜き作業を頻繁に行うことによる対応も考えられるが、いずれにおいても、作業負荷の増大や作業効率の低下が免れず、特に、エアー抜き作業においては、エアー抜きの度に無駄な薬液を散布することから、薬害の発生や薬液コストの増加も避けられない、という問題があった。   However, according to the above technique, when the chemical supply is interrupted due to the chemical liquid running out of the chemical liquid storage tank, air mixing has already occurred in the chemical liquid flow path at the time when it can be confirmed by the confirmation meter. There was a problem that the occurrence of dripping from the nozzle and the deterioration of the chemical spraying accuracy were unavoidable. Furthermore, for this air mixing, it is possible to respond by frequently performing monitoring work and air bleeding work with a confirmation meter, but in either case, it is inevitable that the work load increases and the work efficiency decreases, In the air venting operation, wasteful chemicals are sprayed each time the air is vented, so that there is a problem that the occurrence of chemical damage and an increase in chemical cost are unavoidable.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the elastic member includes a first elastic member having a high elastic modulus for setting a first remaining amount reference at a high weight level and a low amount for setting a second remaining amount reference at a low weight level. The second elastic member having a modulus of elasticity and a first reference mode for driving the replenishing pump when the remaining amount of the chemical solution decreases to the first remaining amount reference, and the remaining amount of the chemical solution decreases to the second remaining amount reference Then, a changeover switch capable of selecting one of the second reference modes for driving the replenishing pump is provided.

本発明は、以上のように構成したので、以下に示す効果を奏する。
すなわち、請求項1により、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液残量を常時監視し、該薬液残量が、予め設定した薬液残量(以下、「残量基準」とする)まで減少すると前記補充ポンプを駆動させ、薬液切れが起こる前に薬液を薬液貯溜タンクに補充することができ、これにより、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液切れを確実に防いで薬液流路内へのエアー混入を防止し、液だれの発生抑制や薬液散布精度の向上を図ることができる。更に、確認計の視認による監視作業やエアー抜き作業を頻繁に行う必要がなく、作業負荷の減少、作業効率の向上、薬害の防止、及び薬液コストの減少も図ることができる。
また、ばねやゴム等の弾性部材とリミットスイッチだけの簡単な構成で、薬液残量を検知して補充ポンプの駆動を制御することができ、高価で精密な電子機器を用いることがなく、部品コストの低減や耐久性の向上を図ることができる。
また、異なる弾性率を有する弾性部材によって複数の残量基準を設けることができ、土壌消毒機の汎用性が高まって様々なニーズへの対応が可能となる。
請求項2により、薬液残量が第一残量基準にあるために、薬液貯溜タンクが重くなり慣性力が大きい場合であっても、高弾性率の第一弾性部材により、薬液貯溜タンクの上下動幅が小さくなり、リミットスイッチのハンチングを防止でき、残量検知装置の検知精度が向上する。特に、圃場の凹凸が大きくて液面が激しく上下動するような場合であっても、前記第二基準モードから第一基準モードに変更するだけで、前記第一残量基準に設定され、これにより、上述の如く、薬液貯溜タンクの上下動幅を小さくして液面の揺動を抑えると共に、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液残量を多くして薬液吸入用のホースの吸い込み口を液面深くに配置することができ、薬液へのエアー混入を更に確実に防止できる。加えて、薬液の比重が通常に比べて大きく異なる場合であっても、薬液貯溜タンクに残っている薬液の体積を精度良く検知して、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液切れを効果的に防ぐことができる。例えば、薬液の比重が大きい場合は、前記第一基準モードを選択して補充開始時の重量レベルを高めることにより、薬液の体積が大きく減少する前に薬液を補充して薬液切れを防ぐことができる。
請求項3により、薬液残量が第一残量基準にあるために、薬液貯溜タンクが重くなり慣性力が大きい場合であっても、高弾性率の第一弾性部材により、薬液貯溜タンクの上下動幅が小さくなり、リミットスイッチのハンチングを防止することができ、残量検知装置の検知精度が向上する。特に、薬液残量が第一残量基準まで減少した後で薬液の補充が継続されているにもかかわらず、薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液残量が減少していることを、前記警報手段によって検知し、薬液補充タンクが既に薬液切れしていることを知ることができ、これにより、薬液貯溜タンクまでが薬液切れする前に薬液補充タンクを新しいものに交換することができ、薬液貯溜タンクの薬液切れを未然に防ぎ、薬液へのエアー混入を確実に防止できる。
Since this invention was comprised as mentioned above, there exists an effect shown below.
That is, according to claim 1, the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank is constantly monitored, and when the remaining amount of the chemical solution is reduced to a preset remaining amount of the chemical solution (hereinafter referred to as “remaining amount reference”), The chemical solution storage tank can be replenished before the chemical solution runs out, and this prevents the chemical solution in the chemical solution tank from running out and prevents air from entering the chemical flow path. The generation | occurrence | production suppression and improvement of chemical | medical solution spraying precision can be aimed at. Furthermore, it is not necessary to frequently perform monitoring work and air venting work by visually checking the confirmation meter, and it is possible to reduce work load, improve work efficiency, prevent chemical damage, and reduce chemical cost.
In addition , with a simple configuration consisting only of elastic members such as springs and rubber and limit switches, it is possible to control the replenishment pump drive by detecting the remaining amount of the chemical solution, without using expensive and precise electronic equipment. Cost can be reduced and durability can be improved.
In addition , a plurality of remaining amount standards can be provided by elastic members having different elastic moduli, and the versatility of the soil disinfecting machine can be increased to meet various needs.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the remaining amount of the chemical solution is in the first remaining amount standard, even if the chemical solution storage tank is heavy and the inertia force is large, the upper and lower portions of the chemical solution storage tank are The moving width is reduced, hunting of the limit switch can be prevented, and the detection accuracy of the remaining amount detection device is improved. In particular, even when the unevenness of the field is large and the liquid level moves up and down violently, it is set to the first remaining amount reference only by changing from the second reference mode to the first reference mode. Therefore, as described above, the vertical movement width of the chemical solution storage tank is reduced to suppress the fluctuation of the liquid level, and the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank is increased to make the suction port of the chemical solution suction hose deeper. It is possible to prevent the air from being mixed into the chemical liquid more reliably. In addition, even when the specific gravity of the chemical solution is significantly different from normal, it is possible to accurately detect the volume of the chemical solution remaining in the chemical solution storage tank and effectively prevent the chemical solution from running out in the chemical solution storage tank. it can. For example, when the specific gravity of the chemical solution is large, by selecting the first reference mode and increasing the weight level at the start of replenishment, the chemical solution can be replenished before the volume of the chemical solution is greatly reduced to prevent the chemical solution from running out. it can.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the remaining amount of the chemical solution is in the first remaining amount standard, the upper and lower portions of the chemical solution storage tank are The moving width is reduced, hunting of the limit switch can be prevented, and the detection accuracy of the remaining amount detection device is improved. In particular, the alarm means detects that the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank has decreased even though the chemical solution has been replenished after the remaining amount of the chemical solution has decreased to the first remaining amount reference. Therefore, it is possible to know that the chemical solution replenishment tank has already run out, so that the chemical solution replenishment tank can be replaced with a new one before the chemical solution storage tank has run out. Cutting can be prevented and air mixing into the chemical solution can be reliably prevented.

Connected to the discharge valve 35b is a hose 9b whose one end is immersed in the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution storage tank 29.

更に、補充ポンプ35Aの下部には、ダイアフラム35cが設けられ、該ダイアフラム35cの下部中央からは、連結ロッド35dが垂設され、該連結ロッド35dの下端には、ピン35eを介してカムフォロワー56が回動自在に連結されている。一方、前記ポンプブラケット55には、前後方向にカム軸59が回動自在に横架され、該カム軸59は、その前端が電動モータMaの出力軸に連結されると共に、その途中部にはカム57が固設されている。   Further, a diaphragm 35c is provided at the lower part of the replenishing pump 35A. A connecting rod 35d is suspended from the lower center of the diaphragm 35c. A cam follower 56 is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 35d via a pin 35e. Are rotatably connected. On the other hand, a cam shaft 59 is horizontally mounted on the pump bracket 55 in the front-rear direction, and the front end of the cam shaft 59 is connected to the output shaft of the electric motor Ma. A cam 57 is fixed.

前記補充ポンプ35Bにおいても同様に、その上部には吸入弁35aと吐出弁35bが突設され、該吸入弁35aには、一端を前記薬液補充タンク30内の薬液58に浸けたホース9cが接続され、該吐出弁35bには、一端が前記ホース9bと合流するホース9dが接続されている。   Similarly, the replenishing pump 35B is also provided with a suction valve 35a and a discharge valve 35b on its upper part, and a hose 9c with one end immersed in the chemical 58 in the chemical replenishing tank 30 is connected to the suction valve 35a.

When the switches 78 and 81 in the middle of the circuit are simultaneously turned on, a direct current from the battery 77 flows through the both closed circuits 109 and 110 so that the electric motors Ma and Mb are driven simultaneously. .

以上のような構成において、まず、前記薬液補充スイッチ78のレバー78aを位置92側に傾倒して「切状態」に設定し、閉回路109・110が形成されないようにしておく。その状態で、前記タンク支持部材27に嵌合された残量検知装置54の載置台65上に、薬液58が満たされた薬液貯溜タンク29を載置すると、該薬液貯溜タンク29の重量によって、弾性支持体72のバネ体69の弾性力に抗しながら載置台65が下降し、検知アーム81bが押下されて端子81c・81d間の接続が遮断され、リミットスイッチ81も「切状態」に設定される。この場合、両スイッチ78・81とも「切状態」にあって電動モータMa・Mbは駆動せず、薬液補充タンク30内の薬液は薬液貯溜タンク29に補充されない。   In the configuration as described above, first, the lever 78a of the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 is tilted to the position 92 side to be set to the “OFF state” so that the closed circuits 109 and 110 are not formed. In this state, when the chemical solution storage tank 29 filled with the chemical solution 58 is placed on the mounting table 65 of the remaining amount detecting device 54 fitted to the tank support member 27, the weight of the chemical solution storage tank 29 is increased. The mounting table 65 is lowered while resisting the elastic force of the spring body 69 of the elastic support body 72, the detection arm 81b is pressed, the connection between the terminals 81c and 81d is cut off, and the limit switch 81 is also set to the “OFF state”. Is done. In this case, both switches 78 and 81 are in the “OFF state”, and the electric motors Ma and Mb are not driven, and the chemical solution in the chemical solution replenishing tank 30 is not replenished to the chemical solution storage tank 29.

続いて、前記薬液補充スイッチ78のレバー78aを位置91側に傾倒して「入状態」に変更した上で、前記電動モータMを駆動し、4組の前記注入ポンプ34A・34Bによって薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液58を薬液注入部6に圧送する。すると、薬液注入爪41・41・・・から圃場に薬液58が注入され、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液58は消費されて徐々に薬液残量が減少していく。   Subsequently, the lever 78a of the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 is tilted to the position 91 side to be changed to the “on state”, the electric motor M is driven, and the chemical solution storage tank is driven by the four sets of the infusion pumps 34A and 34B. The chemical liquid 58 in 29 is pumped to the chemical liquid injection section 6. Then, the chemical solution 58 is injected into the field from the chemical solution injection claws 41, 41... And the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution storage tank 29 is consumed, and the remaining amount of the chemical solution gradually decreases.

この薬液残量の減少に伴い、薬液貯溜タンク29を載せた載置台65が軽くなり、バネ体69の弾性力によって載置台65が押し上げられる。そして、薬液58が所定の残量基準まで減少すると、載置台65が検知アーム81bから離間して端子81c・81d間が再接続され、リミットスイッチ81が「入状態」に設定され、これにより、両スイッチ78・81が同時に「入状態」となって、前記電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動され、薬液補充タンク30内の薬液58が薬液貯溜タンク29内へ補充される。   As the remaining amount of the chemical solution decreases, the mounting table 65 on which the chemical solution storage tank 29 is placed becomes lighter, and the mounting table 65 is pushed up by the elastic force of the spring body 69. And when the chemical | medical solution 58 reduces to predetermined | prescribed remaining amount reference | standard, the mounting base 65 will leave | separate from the detection arm 81b, the terminal 81c * 81d will be reconnected, and the limit switch 81 will be set to an "on state". Both switches 78 and 81 are simultaneously in the “on state”, and the electric motors Ma and Mb are simultaneously driven to replenish the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 into the chemical solution storage tank 29.

そして、薬液残量が増加して前記残量基準を超えると、薬液貯溜タンク29を載せた載置台65がバネ体69の弾性力に抗しながら下降し、検知アーム81bが押下されて端子81c・81d間の接続が再遮断され、リミットスイッチ81が「入状態」から「切状態」に復帰して電動モータMa・Mbの駆動が停止し、薬液補充タンク30内への薬液補充が中止される。このようなリミットスイッチ81の入切により、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量を適正な残量基準に自動的に設定することができる。   When the remaining amount of the chemical solution increases and exceeds the above-mentioned remaining amount reference, the mounting table 65 on which the chemical solution storage tank 29 is placed descends while resisting the elastic force of the spring body 69, and the detection arm 81b is pressed down to thereby connect the terminal 81c. The connection between 81d is cut off again, the limit switch 81 returns from the “on state” to the “off state”, the drive of the electric motors Ma and Mb is stopped, and the chemical liquid replenishment tank 30 is stopped. The By such turning on / off of the limit switch 81, the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 can be automatically set to an appropriate remaining amount reference.

すなわち、薬液貯溜タンク29と、該薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液を吸入・吐出する散布ポンプである注入ポンプ34A・34Bと、該注入ポンプ34A・34Bにより圧送されてきた薬液58を散布する薬液散布部である薬液注入部6とを備えた土壌消毒機であるマルチ土壌消毒機1において、消費した薬液58を前記薬液貯溜タンク29内に補充する薬液補充タンク30と、該薬液補充タンク30内の薬液58を吸引・吐出して前記薬液貯溜タンク29に圧送する補充ポンプ35A・35Bと、前記薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量を検知する残量検知装置54とを備え、検知した薬液残量に応じて前記補充ポンプ35A・35Bの駆動入切を行う薬液補充機構53を設けたので、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量を常時監視し、該薬液残量が残量基準まで減少すると前記補充ポンプ35A・35Bを駆動させ、薬液切れが起こる前に薬液58を薬液貯溜タンク29に補充することができ、これにより、薬液貯溜タンク29の薬液切れを確実に防いで薬液流路内へのエアー混入を防止し、液だれの発生抑制や薬液散布精度の向上を図ることができる。更に、確認計33の視認による監視作業やエアー抜き作業を頻繁に行う必要がなく、作業負荷の減少、作業効率の向上、薬害の防止、及び薬液コストの減少も図ることができる。   That is, the chemical solution storage tank 29, the injection pumps 34A and 34B which are spray pumps for sucking and discharging the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29, and the chemical solution distribution for spraying the chemical solution 58 pumped by the injection pumps 34A and 34B In the multi-soil disinfecting machine 1 which is a soil disinfecting machine having a chemical solution injection unit 6 as a unit, a chemical solution replenishing tank 30 for replenishing the chemical solution 58 consumed in the chemical solution storage tank 29, and the chemical solution replenishing tank 30 Replenishment pumps 35A and 35B for sucking and discharging the chemical liquid 58 and pumping the chemical liquid 58 to the chemical liquid storage tank 29, and a remaining amount detecting device 54 for detecting the chemical liquid residual amount in the chemical liquid storage tank 29 are provided. Accordingly, the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53 for turning on and off the replenishing pumps 35A and 35B is provided, so that the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 is constantly monitored, and the chemical solution When the amount decreases to the remaining amount standard, the replenishment pumps 35A and 35B are driven, and the chemical solution 58 can be replenished to the chemical solution storage tank 29 before the chemical solution runs out. Therefore, it is possible to prevent air from entering the chemical liquid flow path, to suppress the occurrence of dripping and to improve the accuracy of chemical liquid spraying. Furthermore, it is not necessary to frequently perform monitoring work and air venting work by visually checking the confirmation meter 33, and it is possible to reduce the work load, improve work efficiency, prevent chemical damage, and reduce the chemical cost.

更に、前記残量検知装置54は、前記薬液貯溜タンク29を下方より支持しつつ該薬液貯溜タンク29の重量に応じて高さ方向に伸縮する弾性部材であるバネ体69と、該バネ体69の伸縮長さ変化によりスイッチ入切を行うリミットスイッチ81とを備え、該リミットスイッチ81の入切によって前記補充ポンプ35A・35Bの駆動入切を行うので、バネ体69やゴム等の弾性部材とリミットスイッチ81だけの簡単な構成で、薬液残量を検知して補充ポンプ35A・35Bの駆動を制御することができ、高価で精密な電子機器を用いることがなく、部品コストの低減や耐久性の向上を図ることができる。   Further, the remaining amount detecting device 54 includes a spring body 69 that is an elastic member that extends and contracts in the height direction according to the weight of the chemical liquid storage tank 29 while supporting the chemical liquid storage tank 29 from below, and the spring body 69. A limit switch 81 for turning on and off the switch according to a change in expansion / contraction length, and turning on and off the limit switch 81 to turn on and off the replenishing pumps 35A and 35B. With a simple configuration with only the limit switch 81, it is possible to detect the remaining amount of the chemical solution and control the drive of the replenishing pumps 35A and 35B, without using expensive and precise electronic equipment, reducing component costs and durability Can be improved.

次に、以上のような薬液補充機構53の別形態について、図7乃至図13により以下に説明する。なお、前記薬液補充機構53と同様な部品・構成については、同じ符号を用いると共に詳細な説明は省略する。   Next, another embodiment of the chemical solution replenishment mechanism 53 as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the components and structure similar to the said chemical | medical solution replenishment mechanism 53, while using the same code | symbol, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

図7乃至図9に示す薬液補充機構53Aは、前記薬液補充機構53において、4本のバネ体69の一部を弾性率の異なるバネ体に交換すると共に、各弾性率のバネ体毎に専用のリミットスイッチを設けることにより、薬液貯溜タンク29における薬液残量の検知精度の向上を図ったものである。   The chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53A shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 replaces a part of the four spring bodies 69 with spring bodies having different elastic moduli in the chemical liquid replenishing mechanism 53, and is dedicated for each elastic body of each elastic modulus. By providing this limit switch, the detection accuracy of the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 is improved.

該薬液補充機構53Aにおいて、前記取付台64、載置台65は、前記薬液補充機構53と略同じ構造であるが、弾性支持体については、前2本のみを、前記バネ体69よりも低弾性率のバネ体94を有する弾性支持体93・93に変更している。更に、リミットスイッチについては、後2本の前記弾性支持体72・72の間に、前記リミットスイッチ81が配置されると共に、前2本の前記弾性支持体93・93の間に、新たなリミットスイッチ82が配置されている。なお、該リミットスイッチ82も、前記リミットスイッチ81と同様、スイッチケース82a、検知アーム82b、端子82c・82d、及びリード線82e・82fとから成る。   In the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53A, the mounting table 64 and the mounting table 65 have substantially the same structure as the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53, but only the front two of the elastic supports are less elastic than the spring body 69. The elastic support members 93 and 93 having a spring body 94 of a ratio are changed. Further, with respect to the limit switch, the limit switch 81 is disposed between the rear two elastic supports 72 and 72, and a new limit is provided between the front two elastic supports 93 and 93. A switch 82 is arranged. As with the limit switch 81, the limit switch 82 also includes a switch case 82a, a detection arm 82b, terminals 82c and 82d, and lead wires 82e and 82f.

このような薬液補充機構53Aの電気回路74は、図9に示すように、前記薬液補充機構53の電気回路73を構成する電動モータMa・Mb、バッテリ77、薬液補充スイッチ78、リミットスイッチ81、電気線86a等、及びコネクタ85・85Aに加え、新たに、リミットスイッチ82と、両リミットスイッチ81・82のうちのいずれか一方を選択可能な切換スイッチ95とが設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 9, the electric circuit 74 of the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53A includes an electric motor Ma / Mb, a battery 77, a chemical solution replenishing switch 78, a limit switch 81, and an electric circuit 73 of the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53. In addition to the electric wire 86a and the like and the connectors 85 and 85A, a limit switch 82 and a changeover switch 95 that can select either one of the limit switches 81 or 82 are newly provided.

そして、該切換スイッチ95のレバー95aを位置98側に傾倒して「第一基準モード」を選択し、リミットスイッチ81と接続した状態では、前記通電経路79a・79bはそのままで、リミットスイッチ81は、リード線81fと電気線96から成る通電経路79fを介して、前記切換スイッチ95に接続され、該切換スイッチ95は、電気線87bと電気線86cから成る通電経路79gを介して、前記バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   Then, when the lever 95a of the changeover switch 95 is tilted to the position 98 side to select the “first reference mode” and connected to the limit switch 81, the energization paths 79a and 79b remain unchanged, and the limit switch 81 is The changeover switch 95 is connected to the changeover switch 95 through an energization path 79f composed of a lead wire 81f and an electric wire 96, and the changeover switch 95 is connected to the battery 77 through an energization path 79g composed of an electric wire 87b and an electric line 86c. Is connected to the negative electrode terminal 77b.

一方、該切換スイッチ95のレバー95aを位置99側に傾倒して「第二基準モード」を選択し、リミットスイッチ82と接続した状態では、前記通電経路79dはそのままで、電動モータMbは、リード線90b、電気線88b、電気線87c、及びリード線82eから成る通電経路79hを介して、前記リミットスイッチ82に接続され、該リミットスイッチ82は、リード線82fと電気線97から成る通電経路79iを介して、前記切換スイッチ95に接続され、該切換スイッチ95は、前記通電経路79gを介して、前記バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   On the other hand, when the lever 95a of the changeover switch 95 is tilted to the position 99 side to select the “second reference mode” and connected to the limit switch 82, the energization path 79d remains unchanged and the electric motor Mb The limit switch 82 is connected to the limit switch 82 via an energization path 79h including a wire 90b, an electric wire 88b, an electric wire 87c, and a lead wire 82e. The limit switch 82 is connected to the energization path 79i including a lead wire 82f and an electric wire 97. Is connected to the change-over switch 95, and the change-over switch 95 is connected to the negative terminal 77b of the battery 77 via the energization path 79g.

つまり、「第一基準モード」を選択した状態では、4本の通電経路79a・79b・79f・79gから成る第一基準側閉回路102が形成されており、スイッチ78・81が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流が閉回路102内を流れ、前記電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動される。また、「第二基準モード」を選択した状態では、4本の通電経路79d・79h・79i・79gから成る第二基準側閉回路103が形成されており、スイッチ78・82が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流が閉回路103内を流れ、前記電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動されるようにしている。   That is, when the “first reference mode” is selected, the first reference side closed circuit 102 including the four energization paths 79a, 79b, 79f, and 79g is formed, and the switches 78 and 81 are simultaneously turned on. ”, A direct current from the battery 77 flows in the closed circuit 102, and the electric motors Ma and Mb are driven simultaneously. When the “second reference mode” is selected, the second reference side closed circuit 103 including the four energization paths 79d, 79h, 79i, and 79g is formed, and the switches 78 and 82 are simultaneously turned on. ”, A direct current from the battery 77 flows in the closed circuit 103 so that the electric motors Ma and Mb are driven simultaneously.

以上のような構成において、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「切状態」に設定してから、載置台65上に、薬液58が満たされた薬液貯溜タンク29を載置すると、後側の高弾性率のバネ体69・69と前側の低弾性率のバネ体94・94の弾性力に抗しながら載置台65が下降し、2本の検知アーム81b・82bが押下されて端子81c・81d間と端子82c・82d間の接続が遮断され、リミットスイッチ81・82も「切状態」に設定される。   In the above-described configuration, when the chemical solution storage tank 29 filled with the chemical solution 58 is placed on the mounting table 65 after the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 is set to the “OFF state”, the high elastic modulus on the rear side is set. The mounting table 65 descends while resisting the elastic force of the spring bodies 69 and 69 and the low elastic modulus spring bodies 94 and 94 on the front side, and the two detection arms 81b and 82b are pushed down to be between the terminals 81c and 81d. The connection between the terminals 82c and 82d is cut off, and the limit switches 81 and 82 are also set to the “OFF state”.

続いて、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「入状態」に変更した上で、前記電動モータMを駆動すると、4組の前記注入ポンプ34A・34Bによって圃場に薬液58が注入され、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量が減少していく。これに伴い、薬液貯溜タンク29を載せた載置台65が軽くなり、高弾性率のバネ体69・69が先に載置台65の後部を押し上げて伸張し、予め設定した薬液残量(以下、「第一残量基準」とする)まで減少すると、押し上げられた載置台65の後部が検知アーム81bから離間してリミットスイッチ81が「入状態」に設定される。この際、薬液貯溜タンク29が激しく上下動しても、その上下動はバネ体69・69によって減衰されて上下動幅は小さくなる。   Subsequently, when the electric motor M is driven after changing the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 to the “on state”, the chemical solution 58 is injected into the field by the four sets of the injection pumps 34A and 34B, and the chemical solution storage tank 29 The remaining amount of chemicals will decrease. Along with this, the mounting table 65 on which the chemical solution storage tank 29 is placed becomes lighter, and the high elastic spring bodies 69 and 69 first push up the rear portion of the mounting table 65 to expand, and a remaining amount of the chemical solution (hereinafter, referred to as “remaining chemical solution remaining amount”). When it is reduced to “the first remaining amount reference”), the rear portion of the loaded mounting table 65 is separated from the detection arm 81b, and the limit switch 81 is set to the “ON state”. At this time, even if the chemical liquid storage tank 29 moves up and down violently, the up and down movement is attenuated by the spring bodies 69 and 69 and the up and down movement width is reduced.

その後、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量が更に減少すると、低弾性率のバネ体94・94も載置台65の前部を押し上げて伸張するようになり、予め設定した薬液残量(以下、「第二残量基準」とする)まで減少すると、押し上げられた載置台65の前部が検知アーム82bから離間してリミットスイッチ82が「入状態」に設定される。   Thereafter, when the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 further decreases, the low elastic modulus spring bodies 94 and 94 also extend by pushing up the front part of the mounting table 65, When it is reduced to “second remaining amount standard”), the pushed front portion of the mounting table 65 is separated from the detection arm 82b and the limit switch 82 is set to the “ON state”.

従って、切換スイッチ95で「第一基準モード」を選択した場合には、前記第一残量基準まで減少すると、薬液補充スイッチ78とリミットスイッチ81が「入状態」となって電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動される。一方、切換スイッチ95で「第二基準モード」を選択した場合には、前記第二残量基準まで減少すると、薬液補充スイッチ78とリミットスイッチ82が「入状態」となって、電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動される。つまり、切換スイッチ95によって、使用するリミットスイッチ81またはリミットスイッチ82を選択するだけで、薬液貯溜タンク29への薬液補充を開始する残量基準を前記第一残量基準・第二残量基準のいずれかに自在に変更することができる。特に、「第一基準モード」を選択して第一残量基準に設定すると、薬液貯溜タンク29の上下動幅が小さくなると共に、該薬液貯溜タンク29内に多量の薬液58が残ったままにしておくことができる。加えて、薬液58の比重が大きく、実際は少量しか残っていないのに十分な量残っているものと誤って検知される場合でも、「第一基準モード」を選択して補充開始時の重量レベルを高めることにより、薬液切れを防ぐことができる。   Therefore, when the “first reference mode” is selected with the changeover switch 95, the chemical replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 81 become “on” when the first remaining amount reference is reduced, and the electric motors Ma and Mb are turned on. Are driven simultaneously. On the other hand, when the “second reference mode” is selected with the changeover switch 95, the chemical replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 82 become “ON” when the second remaining amount reference is reduced, and the electric motor Ma · Mb is driven simultaneously. That is, the remaining amount reference for starting the replenishment of the chemical solution to the chemical solution storage tank 29 can be set to the first remaining amount reference and the second remaining amount reference only by selecting the limit switch 81 or the limit switch 82 to be used by the changeover switch 95. It can be changed freely. In particular, when the “first reference mode” is selected and set to the first remaining amount reference, the vertical movement width of the chemical solution storage tank 29 is reduced, and a large amount of the chemical solution 58 is left in the chemical solution storage tank 29. I can keep it. In addition, even if the specific gravity of the chemical solution 58 is large and it is mistakenly detected that a sufficient amount remains in reality when only a small amount remains, the weight level at the start of replenishment by selecting the “first reference mode” Can be prevented from running out.

すなわち、複数の弾性部材としてバネ体69・69とバネ体94・94とを設け、該バネ体94・94は前記バネ体69・69と異なる弾性率を有する。つまり、少なくとも一つのバネ体は他のバネ体と異なる弾性率を有すると共に、高弾性率を有するバネ体群であるバネ体69・69にはリミットスイッチ81を備え、低弾性率を有するバネ体群であるバネ体94・94にはリミットスイッチ82を備えるので、異なる弾性率を有するバネ体94とバネ体69とによって複数の残量基準である第一残量基準と第二残量基準を設けることができ、土壌消毒機であるマルチ土壌消毒機1の汎用性が高まって様々なニーズへの対応が可能となる。   That is, the spring bodies 69 and 69 and the spring bodies 94 and 94 are provided as a plurality of elastic members, and the spring bodies 94 and 94 have an elastic modulus different from that of the spring bodies 69 and 69. That is, at least one spring body has an elastic modulus different from that of the other spring bodies, and the spring bodies 69 and 69, which are a group of spring bodies having a high elastic modulus, are provided with limit switches 81 and have a low elastic modulus. Since the spring bodies 94 and 94, which are groups, are provided with the limit switch 82, the first remaining amount standard and the second remaining amount reference that are a plurality of remaining amount standards are determined by the spring body 94 and the spring body 69 having different elastic moduli. The multi-soil disinfecting machine 1 that is a soil disinfecting machine can be widely used and can meet various needs.

更に、本実施例のように、バネ体は、高重量レベルの第一残量基準を設定するための高弾性率の第一弾性部材であるバネ体69と、低重量レベルの第二残量基準を設定するための低弾性率の第二弾性部材であるバネ体94とより構成すると共に、薬液残量が前記第一残量基準まで減少すると前記補充ポンプ35A・35Bを駆動させる第一基準モードと、薬液残量が前記第二残量基準まで減少すると前記補充ポンプ35A・35Bを駆動させる第二基準モードのいずれかを選択可能な切換スイッチ95を設けるので、薬液残量が第一残量基準にあるために、薬液貯溜タンク29が重くなり慣性力が大きい場合であっても、高弾性率のバネ体69により、薬液貯溜タンク29の上下動幅が小さくなり、リミットスイッチ81のハンチングを防止でき、残量検知装置54Aの検知精度が向上する。特に、圃場の凹凸が大きくて液面58aが激しく上下動するような場合であっても、前記第二基準モードから第一基準モードに変更するだけで、前記第一残量基準に設定され、これにより、上述の如く、薬液貯溜タンク29の上下動幅を小さくして液面58aの揺動を抑えると共に、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量を多くして薬液吸入用のホース9e・9fの吸い込み口を液面58a深くに配置することができ、薬液58へのエアー混入を更に確実に防止できる。加えて、薬液58の比重が通常に比べて大きく異なる場合であっても、薬液貯溜タンク29に残っている薬液58の体積を精度良く検知して、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液切れを効果的に防ぐことができる。例えば、薬液58の比重が大きい場合は、前記第一基準モードを選択して補充開始時の重量レベルを高めることにより、薬液58の体積が大きく減少する前に薬液58を補充して薬液切れを防ぐことができる。   Further, as in the present embodiment, the spring body includes a spring body 69 that is a first elastic member having a high elastic modulus for setting a first remaining amount reference at a high weight level, and a second remaining amount at a low weight level. A first reference that drives the replenishment pumps 35A and 35B when the remaining amount of the chemical solution is reduced to the first remaining amount reference is configured with the spring body 94 that is a second elastic member having a low elastic modulus for setting the reference. Since there is provided a changeover switch 95 which can select either the mode or the second reference mode for driving the replenishment pumps 35A and 35B when the remaining amount of the chemical solution is reduced to the second remaining amount reference, Even if the chemical storage tank 29 is heavy and the inertial force is large because of the amount reference, the vertical movement width of the chemical storage tank 29 is reduced by the high elastic modulus spring body 69 and the limit switch 81 is hunted. Prevent It can be improved detection accuracy of the remaining-amount detecting device 54A. In particular, even if the unevenness of the field is large and the liquid level 58a moves up and down violently, it is set to the first remaining amount reference only by changing from the second reference mode to the first reference mode, Accordingly, as described above, the vertical movement width of the chemical solution storage tank 29 is reduced to suppress the swing of the liquid level 58a, and the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 is increased to increase the chemical solution suction hoses 9e and 9f. Can be disposed deeper in the liquid surface 58a, and air mixing into the chemical liquid 58 can be prevented more reliably. In addition, even when the specific gravity of the chemical liquid 58 is greatly different from that of the normal, the volume of the chemical liquid 58 remaining in the chemical liquid storage tank 29 is detected with high accuracy, and the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid storage tank 29 is effectively cut out. Can be prevented. For example, when the specific gravity of the chemical solution 58 is large, the first reference mode is selected and the weight level at the start of replenishment is increased, so that the chemical solution 58 is replenished before the volume of the chemical solution 58 is greatly reduced, so Can be prevented.

また、図10、図11に示す薬液補充機構53Bは、前記薬液補充機構53Aにおいて、補充ポンプユニット25の一部を省いて補充ポンプユニット25Aとすると共に、リミットスイッチ82によって作動する警報器Bを設け、該警報器Bの作動と前記電動モータMaの駆動を同時並行可能に構成することにより、薬液貯溜タンク29の薬液切れの防止を図ったものである。   Further, the chemical solution replenishment mechanism 53B shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is configured to replace the replenishment pump unit 25 in the chemical solution replenishment mechanism 53A with the replenishment pump unit 25A, and to provide an alarm device B operated by the limit switch 82. It is provided that the operation of the alarm device B and the driving of the electric motor Ma can be performed simultaneously, thereby preventing the chemical solution storage tank 29 from running out of the chemical solution.

該薬液補充機構53Bにおいて、図10に示すように、残量検知装置は、図8に示す前記残量検知装置54Aと同じ構造であるが、補充ポンプユニット25Aでは、補充ポンプ35B、そのカムフォロワー56、カム57、電動モータMb等が省かれ、その代わりに警報器Bが設けられている。   In the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53B, as shown in FIG. 10, the remaining amount detecting device has the same structure as the remaining amount detecting device 54A shown in FIG. 8, but the replenishing pump unit 25A has a replenishing pump 35B and its cam follower. 56, the cam 57, the electric motor Mb, and the like are omitted, and an alarm device B is provided instead.

更に、このような薬液補充機構53Bの電気回路75は、図11に示すように、電動モータMa、そのリミットスイッチ81、警報器B、そのリミットスイッチ82、バッテリ77、薬液補充スイッチ78、電気線86a等、2極同士用のコネクタ85、及び2極4極間用のコネクタ85Aから構成される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the electric circuit 75 of the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53B includes an electric motor Ma, its limit switch 81, an alarm device B, its limit switch 82, a battery 77, a chemical solution replenishing switch 78, an electric wire. 86a and the like, and a connector 85A for two poles and a connector 85A for two poles and four poles.

そして、前記バッテリ77の正極端子77aは、前記通電経路79aを介して電動モータMaに接続され、該電動モータMaは、リード線89b、電気線88e、及びリード線81eから成る通電経路79jを介して、前記リミットスイッチ81に接続され、該リミットスイッチ81は、リード線81f、電気線88b、電気線87d、及び電気線86cから成る通電経路79kを介して、前記バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   The positive terminal 77a of the battery 77 is connected to the electric motor Ma via the energization path 79a, and the electric motor Ma is connected via an energization path 79j composed of a lead wire 89b, an electric wire 88e, and a lead wire 81e. The limit switch 81 is connected to the negative terminal 77b of the battery 77 through an energization path 79k including a lead wire 81f, an electric wire 88b, an electric wire 87d, and an electric wire 86c. Has been.

一方、前記バッテリ77の正極端子77aは、電気線86a、薬液補充スイッチ78、電気線86b、電気線87e、電気線100a、及びリード線101aから成る通電経路79lを介して、前記警報器Bに接続され、該警報器Bは、リード線101b、電気線100c、及びリード線82eから成る通電経路79mを介して、前記リミットスイッチ82に接続され、該リミットスイッチ82は、リード線82f、電気線100b、電気線87b、及び電気線86cから成る通電経路79nを介して、前記バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   On the other hand, the positive terminal 77a of the battery 77 is connected to the alarm device B through an energization path 79l including an electric wire 86a, a chemical solution replenishment switch 78, an electric wire 86b, an electric wire 87e, an electric wire 100a, and a lead wire 101a. The alarm device B is connected to the limit switch 82 via an energization path 79m including a lead wire 101b, an electric wire 100c, and a lead wire 82e. The limit switch 82 includes a lead wire 82f, an electric wire, and the like. The battery 77 is connected to the negative terminal 77b of the battery 77 through an energization path 79n including the electric wire 100b, the electric wire 87b, and the electric wire 86c.

つまり、電気回路75には、3本の通電経路79a・79j・79kから成るモータMa側閉回路104と、3本の通電経路79l・79m・79nから成る警報器側閉回路105とが並列して形成されており、回路途中のスイッチ78・81が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流がモータMa側閉回路104内を流れて電動モータMaが駆動され、更に、回路途中のスイッチ78・82が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流が警報器側閉回路105内を流れて警報器Bが作動されるようにしている。   That is, in the electric circuit 75, a motor Ma side closed circuit 104 including three energization paths 79a, 79j, and 79k and an alarm side closing circuit 105 including three energization paths 79l, 79m, and 79n are arranged in parallel. When the switches 78 and 81 in the middle of the circuit are simultaneously turned on, a direct current from the battery 77 flows in the motor Ma side closed circuit 104 to drive the electric motor Ma. When the switches 78 and 82 are simultaneously turned on, a direct current from the battery 77 flows in the alarm side closed circuit 105 so that the alarm B is activated.

以上のような構成において、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「切状態」に設定してから、載置台65上に、薬液58が満たされた薬液貯溜タンク29を載置すると、後側の高弾性率のバネ体69・69と前側の低弾性率のバネ体94・94の弾性力に抗しながら載置台65が下降し、2本の検知アーム81b・82bが押下されて端子81c・81d間と端子82c・82d間の接続が遮断され、リミットスイッチ81・82も「切状態」に設定される。   In the above-described configuration, when the chemical solution storage tank 29 filled with the chemical solution 58 is placed on the mounting table 65 after the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 is set to the “OFF state”, the high elastic modulus on the rear side is set. The mounting table 65 descends while resisting the elastic force of the spring bodies 69 and 69 and the low elastic modulus spring bodies 94 and 94 on the front side, and the two detection arms 81b and 82b are pushed down to be between the terminals 81c and 81d. The connection between the terminals 82c and 82d is cut off, and the limit switches 81 and 82 are also set to the “OFF state”.

続いて、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「入状態」に変更した上で、前記電動モータMを駆動すると、4組の前記注入ポンプ34A・34Bによって圃場に薬液58が注入され、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量が減少していく。これに伴い、薬液貯溜タンク29を載せた載置台65が軽くなり、高弾性率のバネ体69・69が先に載置台65の後部を押し上げて伸張し、前記第一残量基準まで減少すると、押し上げられた載置台65の後部が検知アーム81bから離間してリミットスイッチ81が「入状態」に設定される。   Subsequently, when the electric motor M is driven after changing the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 to the “on state”, the chemical solution 58 is injected into the field by the four sets of the injection pumps 34A and 34B, and the chemical solution storage tank 29 The remaining amount of chemicals will decrease. Along with this, the mounting table 65 on which the chemical solution storage tank 29 is placed becomes lighter, and the high elastic spring bodies 69 and 69 first push up the rear portion of the mounting table 65 to expand and decrease to the first remaining amount reference. Then, the rear part of the loaded mounting table 65 is separated from the detection arm 81b, and the limit switch 81 is set to the “ON” state.

すると、薬液補充スイッチ78とリミットスイッチ81が同時に「入状態」となって前記電動モータMaが駆動され、薬液補充タンク30から薬液貯溜タンク29への薬液補充が開始される。該薬液補充により、薬液補充タンク30内の薬液58が減少していき、薬液切れして空になると、薬液58が補充されなくなった薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液58も減少していく。そして、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量が前記第二残量基準まで減少すると、薬液補充スイッチ78とリミットスイッチ82が同時に「入状態」となって前記警報器Bが作動し、該警報器Bによる音や光などによる警報信号によって、薬液補充タンク30が既に薬液切れしていることが報知されるのである。   Then, the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 81 are simultaneously turned “on”, and the electric motor Ma is driven, and the chemical solution replenishment from the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 to the chemical solution storage tank 29 is started. When the chemical solution is replenished, the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 decreases, and when the chemical solution runs out and becomes empty, the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution storage tank 29 that is no longer replenished with the chemical solution 58 also decreases. When the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 is reduced to the second remaining amount reference, the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 82 are simultaneously turned “on”, and the alarm device B is activated. An alarm signal such as sound or light from B informs that the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 has already run out of the chemical solution.

すなわち、前記弾性部材は、高重量レベルの第一残量基準を設定するための高弾性率の第一弾性部材であるバネ体69と、低重量レベルの第二残量基準を設定するための低弾性率の第二弾性部材であるバネ体94とより構成すると共に、薬液残量が前記第一残量基準まで減少すると前記補充ポンプ35Aを駆動し、更に、薬液残量が前記第二残量基準まで減少すると警報手段である警報器Bを作動させる回路構成を設けるので、薬液残量が第一残量基準にあるために、薬液貯溜タンク29が重くなり慣性力が大きい場合であっても、高弾性率のバネ体69により、薬液貯溜タンク29の上下動幅が小さくなり、リミットスイッチ81のハンチングを防止でき、残量検知装置54Aの検知精度が向上する。特に、薬液残量が第一残量基準まで減少した後で薬液58の補充が継続されているにもかかわらず、薬液貯溜タンク29内の薬液残量が減少していることを、前記警報器Bによって検知し、薬液補充タンク30が既に薬液切れしていることを知ることができ、これにより、薬液貯溜タンク29までが薬液切れする前に薬液補充タンク30を新しいものに交換することができ、薬液貯溜タンク29の薬液切れを未然に防ぎ、薬液58へのエアー混入を確実に防止できる。   That is, the elastic member includes a spring body 69 that is a first elastic member having a high elastic modulus for setting a first remaining amount reference at a high weight level, and a second remaining amount reference at a low weight level. It comprises a spring body 94 which is a low elastic modulus second elastic member, and when the remaining amount of the chemical solution is reduced to the first remaining amount reference, the replenishment pump 35A is driven, and the remaining amount of the chemical solution is further reduced to the second remaining amount. Since a circuit configuration is provided to activate the alarm device B which is an alarm means when the amount is reduced to the reference amount, the remaining amount of the chemical solution is in the first remaining amount reference, so that the chemical solution storage tank 29 becomes heavy and the inertial force is large. In addition, the spring body 69 having a high elastic modulus reduces the vertical movement width of the chemical liquid storage tank 29, prevents hunting of the limit switch 81, and improves the detection accuracy of the remaining amount detection device 54A. In particular, the alarm device indicates that the remaining amount of the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank 29 has decreased even though the chemical solution 58 is continuously replenished after the remaining amount of the chemical solution has decreased to the first remaining amount reference. Detected by B, it is possible to know that the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 has already run out of chemical solution, so that the chemical solution replenishment tank 30 can be replaced with a new one before the chemical solution storage tank 29 runs out of chemical solution. Further, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution storage tank 29 from running out of the chemical solution and to reliably prevent air from entering the chemical solution 58.

また、図12、図13に示す薬液補充機構53Cは、前記薬液補充機構53において、薬液貯溜タンク29・薬液補充タンク30を2セット設け、各セット毎に補充経路を設けることにより、単一の補充経路から供給する薬液58の量を減らしたものである。   Further, the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53C shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is provided with two sets of the chemical solution storage tank 29 and the chemical solution replenishing tank 30 in the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53, and a replenishment path is provided for each set. The amount of the chemical solution 58 supplied from the replenishment path is reduced.

該薬液補充機構53Cにおいて、図12に示すように、残量検知装置は、図3に示す前記残量検知装置54と同じ構造であるが、補充ポンプユニット25Bは、薬液貯溜タンク29aと薬液補充タンク30aとの間に補充ポンプ35Aを介設して成る補充経路107と、薬液貯溜タンク29bと薬液補充タンク30bとの間に補充ポンプ35Bを介設して成る補充経路108を備える。更に、前記薬液貯溜タンク29aには、電動モータM1によって駆動する右側の注入ポンプ34A・34B・34Cが接続され、前記薬液貯溜タンク29bには、電動モータM2によって駆動する左側の注入ポンプ34A・34B・34Cが接続されている。   In the chemical solution replenishment mechanism 53C, as shown in FIG. 12, the remaining amount detection device has the same structure as the remaining amount detection device 54 shown in FIG. 3, but the replenishment pump unit 25B has a chemical solution storage tank 29a and a chemical solution replenishment. A replenishment path 107 having a replenishment pump 35A interposed between the tank 30a and a replenishment path 108 having a replenishment pump 35B interposed between the chemical liquid storage tank 29b and the chemical liquid replenishment tank 30b is provided. Further, right infusion pumps 34A, 34B, 34C driven by an electric motor M1 are connected to the chemical liquid storage tank 29a, and left infusion pumps 34A, 34B driven by an electric motor M2 are connected to the chemical liquid storage tank 29b. -34C is connected.

このような構成において、電動モータMaが駆動すると、補充ポンプ35Aによって、薬液補充タンク30a内の薬液58をホース80aから吸入弁35aを介して吸入し、吐出弁35bからホース80bを介して吐出し、薬液58が薬液貯溜タンク29a内に補充される。そして、電動モータM1が駆動すると、右側の注入ポンプ34A・34B・34Cによって、薬液貯溜タンク29a内の薬液58をホース80cから吸入弁34aを介して吸入し、吐出弁34bからホース80gを介して吐出し、薬液58が右3本の薬液注入爪41に供給される。   In such a configuration, when the electric motor Ma is driven, the chemical liquid 58 in the chemical liquid replenishment tank 30a is drawn from the hose 80a through the suction valve 35a and discharged from the discharge valve 35b through the hose 80b when the electric motor Ma is driven. The chemical solution 58 is replenished in the chemical solution storage tank 29a. Then, when the electric motor M1 is driven, the right side infusion pumps 34A, 34B, and 34C suck the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution storage tank 29a from the hose 80c through the suction valve 34a, and from the discharge valve 34b through the hose 80g. Then, the chemical liquid 58 is supplied to the right three chemical liquid injection claws 41.

同様に、電動モータMbが駆動すると、補充ポンプ35Bによって、薬液補充タンク30b内の薬液58をホース80dから吸入弁35aを介して吸入し、吐出弁35bからホース80eを介して吐出し、薬液58が薬液貯溜タンク29b内に補充される。そして、電動モータM2が駆動すると、左側の注入ポンプ34A・34B・34Cによって、薬液貯溜タンク29b内の薬液58をホース80fから吸入弁34aを介して吸入し、吐出弁34bからホース80hを介して吐出し、薬液58が左3本の薬液注入爪41に供給される。   Similarly, when the electric motor Mb is driven, the chemical liquid 58 in the chemical liquid replenishment tank 30b is drawn from the hose 80d through the suction valve 35a by the replenishment pump 35B, and is discharged from the discharge valve 35b through the hose 80e. Is replenished in the chemical storage tank 29b. Then, when the electric motor M2 is driven, the left side infusion pumps 34A, 34B, and 34C suck the chemical solution 58 in the chemical solution storage tank 29b from the hose 80f through the suction valve 34a, and from the discharge valve 34b through the hose 80h. Then, the chemical liquid 58 is supplied to the left three chemical liquid injection claws 41.

更に、このような薬液補充機構53Cの電気回路76は、図13に示すように、電動モータMa、そのリミットスイッチ81、電動モータMb、そのリミットスイッチ81、バッテリ77、薬液補充スイッチ78、電気線86a等、2極同士用のコネクタ85、及び2極4極間用のコネクタ85Aから構成される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the electric circuit 76 of the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53C includes an electric motor Ma, its limit switch 81, an electric motor Mb, its limit switch 81, a battery 77, a chemical solution replenishing switch 78, and an electric wire. 86a and the like, and a connector 85A for two poles and a connector 85A for two poles and four poles.

そして、前記バッテリ77の正極端子77aは、前記通電経路79aを介して電動モータMaに接続され、該電動モータMaは、前記通電経路79jを介してリミットスイッチ81に接続され、該リミットスイッチ81は、前記通電経路79kを介して前記バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   The positive terminal 77a of the battery 77 is connected to the electric motor Ma via the energization path 79a, and the electric motor Ma is connected to the limit switch 81 via the energization path 79j. The battery 77 is connected to the negative terminal 77b of the battery 77 through the energization path 79k.

一方、前記バッテリ77の正極端子77aは、電気線86a、薬液補充スイッチ78、電気線86b、電気線87e、電気線100a、及びリード線90aから成る通電経路79pを介して、前記電動モータMbに接続され、該電動モータMbは、リード線90b、電気線100c、及びリード線81eから成る通電経路79qを介して、前記リミットスイッチ81に接続され、該リミットスイッチ81は、リード線81f、電気線100b、電気線87b、及び電気線86cから成る通電経路79rを介して、バッテリ77の負極端子77bに接続されている。   On the other hand, the positive terminal 77a of the battery 77 is connected to the electric motor Mb through an energization path 79p including an electric wire 86a, a chemical solution replenishment switch 78, an electric wire 86b, an electric wire 87e, an electric wire 100a, and a lead wire 90a. The electric motor Mb is connected to the limit switch 81 via an energization path 79q including a lead wire 90b, an electric wire 100c, and a lead wire 81e. The limit switch 81 includes a lead wire 81f, an electric wire The battery 77 is connected to the negative terminal 77b of the battery 77 through an energization path 79r including the electric wire 100b, the electric wire 87b, and the electric wire 86c.

つまり、電気回路76には、3本の通電経路79a・79j・79kから成る前記モータMa側閉回路104と、3本の通電経路79p・79q・79rから成るモータMb側閉回路106とが並列して形成されており、薬液補充スイッチ78とモータMa側閉回路104のリミットスイッチ81が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流がモータMa側閉回路104内を流れ、電動モータMaが駆動される。同様に、薬液補充スイッチ78とモータMb側閉回路106のリミットスイッチ81が同時に「入状態」になると、バッテリ77からの直流電流がモータMb側閉回路106内を流れ、電動モータMbが駆動されるようにしている。   That is, in the electric circuit 76, the motor Ma side closed circuit 104 including the three energization paths 79a, 79j, and 79k and the motor Mb side closed circuit 106 including the three energization paths 79p, 79q, and 79r are arranged in parallel. When the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 81 of the motor Ma side closed circuit 104 are simultaneously turned on, a direct current from the battery 77 flows in the motor Ma side closed circuit 104, and the electric motor Ma is driven. Similarly, when the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 81 of the motor Mb side closed circuit 106 are simultaneously turned on, a direct current from the battery 77 flows through the motor Mb side closed circuit 106, and the electric motor Mb is driven. I try to do it.

以上のような構成において、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「切状態」に設定してから、載置台65上に、薬液58が満たされた薬液貯溜タンク29aを載置すると、4本の前記バネ体69の弾性力に抗しながら載置台65が下降し、検知アーム81bが押下されて端子81c・81d間の接続が遮断され、リミットスイッチ81が「切状態」に設定される。別の載置台65上に、薬液58が満たされた薬液貯溜タンク29bを載置すると、同様にして、リミットスイッチ81が「切状態」に設定される。   In the above configuration, when the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 is set to the “OFF state” and then the chemical solution storage tank 29a filled with the chemical solution 58 is placed on the mounting table 65, the four spring bodies are provided. The mounting table 65 is lowered while resisting the elastic force of 69, the detection arm 81b is pushed down, the connection between the terminals 81c and 81d is cut off, and the limit switch 81 is set to the “OFF state”. When the chemical solution storage tank 29b filled with the chemical solution 58 is placed on another mounting table 65, the limit switch 81 is similarly set to the “OFF state”.

続いて、前記薬液補充スイッチ78を「入状態」に変更した上で、前記電動モータM1を駆動すると、右側の注入ポンプ34A・34B・34Cによって圃場に薬液58が注入され、薬液貯溜タンク29a内の薬液残量が減少していく。これに伴い、薬液貯溜タンク29aを載せた各載置台65が軽くなり、4本の前記バネ体69が載置台65を押し上げて伸張し、更に、所定の残量基準まで減少すると、載置台65が検知アーム81bから離間してリミットスイッチ81が「入状態」に設定される。前記電動モータM2を駆動し、同様にして、別の載置台65上の薬液貯溜タンク29b内の薬液残量が所定の残量基準まで減少すると、載置台65が検知アーム81bから離間してリミットスイッチ81が「入状態」に設定される。   Subsequently, after the chemical solution replenishing switch 78 is changed to the “on state” and the electric motor M1 is driven, the chemical solution 58 is injected into the field by the right injection pumps 34A, 34B, and 34C, and the chemical solution storage tank 29a is filled. The remaining amount of chemicals will decrease. Along with this, each mounting table 65 on which the chemical solution storage tank 29a is placed becomes lighter, and the four spring bodies 69 push up the mounting table 65 to expand and further decrease to a predetermined remaining amount standard. Is separated from the detection arm 81b, and the limit switch 81 is set to the “ON state”. Similarly, when the electric motor M2 is driven and the remaining amount of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid storage tank 29b on the other mounting table 65 is reduced to a predetermined remaining level reference, the mounting table 65 is separated from the detection arm 81b and the limit is reached. The switch 81 is set to “ON”.

すると、薬液補充スイッチ78と両閉回路104・106のリミットスイッチ81とが同時に「入状態」となって前記電動モータMa・Mbが同時駆動され、薬液補充タンク30aから薬液貯溜タンク29aへの薬液補充と、薬液補充タンク30bから薬液貯溜タンク29bへの薬液補充とが開始される。   Then, the chemical solution replenishment switch 78 and the limit switch 81 of the both closed circuits 104 and 106 are simultaneously turned on, and the electric motors Ma and Mb are simultaneously driven, and the chemical solution from the chemical solution replenishment tank 30a to the chemical solution storage tank 29a. The replenishment and the chemical solution replenishment from the chemical solution replenishment tank 30b to the chemical solution storage tank 29b are started.

すなわち、薬液補充機構53Cは、薬液58を独立して補充可能な複数の補充経路107・108を備えるので、一本の補充経路から供給する薬液58の量を減らし、薬液補充タンク30a・30bの交換頻度を少なくして作業効率の向上を図ったり、補充ポンプ35A・35Bにかかる負担を軽減して部品寿命の向上を図ることができる。   That is, since the chemical solution replenishing mechanism 53C includes a plurality of replenishment paths 107 and 108 that can independently replenish the chemical liquid 58, the amount of the chemical liquid 58 supplied from a single replenishment path is reduced, and the chemical liquid replenishment tanks 30a and 30b are provided. It is possible to improve the work efficiency by reducing the replacement frequency, and to reduce the burden on the replenishing pumps 35A and 35B, thereby improving the life of the parts.

本発明は、薬液貯溜タンクと、該薬液貯溜タンク内の薬液を吸入・吐出する散布ポンプと、該散布ポンプにより圧送されてきた薬液を散布する薬液散布部とを備えた、全ての土壌消毒機に適用することができる。   The present invention provides all soil disinfecting machines comprising a chemical solution storage tank, a spray pump for sucking and discharging the chemical solution in the chemical solution storage tank, and a chemical solution spraying unit for spraying the chemical solution pumped by the spray pump. Can be applied to.
