The lower nut 79 ′ is rotated and fastened so as to move into the concave portion 83b disposed on the lower side, thereby being fixed to the fixed shaft portion 83.

  The apron side connecting member 75 configured in this way can absorb the backlash of each component of the apron flip-up assist mechanism 40 by adjusting the length thereof, and the lock lever of the lock device 90 to be described later The unlocking operation 94 can be performed smoothly. In addition, although the apron side connection member 75 showed what can adjust the length, the length between the shaft part 72 (after-mentioned) provided in the link plate 70 and the rotating shaft 77 is adjustable. The link plate 70 may have a function of adjusting the length of the apron side connecting member 75 whose length can be adjusted.

  A shaft portion 72 is mounted between the protruding portions 70 a of the pair of link plates 70. The shaft portion 72 penetrates the projecting portions 70 a of both link plates 70 and projects outward, and the rear end portion of the link arm member 60 is rotatably connected to the projecting shaft portion 72. That is, the pair of link arm members 60 are rotatably connected to both end portions of the shaft portion 72 in the axial direction.

  The link arm member 60 extends along the support plate 41 and the gas spring 50 with a gap with respect to the inner surfaces of the pair of support plates 41. On the rear side of the link arm member 60, a linear long hole 60 a (see FIG. 2B) capable of movably supporting the shaft portion 72 provided on the protruding portion 70 a of the link plate 70 is provided. . When assisting the upward jumping of the apron 25, the link arm member 60 moves forward with the shaft portion 72 in contact with the rearmost end portion of the long hole 60a. As a result, the link plate 70 rotates forward about the fulcrum shaft 45.

  The front end portion of the link arm member 60 is rotatably connected to the axial end portion of the movable shaft portion 46 provided between the front sides of the pair of support plates 41. Note that the rod-side end portions 50a of the two gas springs 50 arranged side by side in the axial direction of the movable shaft portion 46 are rotatably connected to the intermediate portion of the movable shaft portion 46 in the axial direction. The movable shaft portion 46 is supported so as to be movable along a long hole 41 a (see FIG. 2B) provided on each front side of the pair of support plates 41. The long hole 41a extends linearly in the front-rear direction, and guides the movement in the front-rear direction of the movable shaft portion 46 and the pair of link arm members 60 connected thereto in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the gas spring 50.

  The gas spring 50 is connected to a fulcrum shaft portion 45 disposed on the rear side of the pair of support plates 41 and is disposed between the pair of link arm members 60. The gas spring 50 is configured so that an elastic force is always generated in the extending direction. In the gas spring 50, the rod side end 50a is positioned on the rear end side of the long hole 41a in a substantially fully contracted state, and the rod side end 50a is positioned on the front end side of the long hole 41a in a substantially fully extended state. It is configured in a large size. A locking device 90 is provided on the front side of the pair of support plates 41 so that the gas spring 50 can be restricted from extending while being almost fully contracted.

  Next, the locking device 90 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (a), 2 (b), and 3. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the locking device 90 is rotatable in the vertical direction with a shaft portion 91 attached between the front end side upper portions of the pair of support plates 41 as a rotation fulcrum. A lock plate 92 and a lock lever 94 that rotates the lock plate 92 are provided. The lock lever 94 has one end connected to the lock plate 92 and the other end extending toward the apron 25 along the outer side surface of the support plate 41.

  The lock plate 92 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and is disposed at the upper part between the front end portions of the pair of support plates 41. A shaft portion 91 that rotatably supports the lock plate 92 is provided between the upper portions of the front end portions of the pair of support plates 41. A pair of contact plates 92a bent downward are provided on both sides of the lock plate 92 in the width direction.

  When the gas spring 50 is in a substantially fully contracted state, the rear end portions of these contact plates 92a are in a posture (hereinafter referred to as a lock posture) along which the lock plate 92 is along the upper surface of the pair of support plates 41. It moves to a position facing the front end of the corresponding link arm member 60. For this reason, when the lock plate 92 is in the locked position when the gas spring 50 is in a substantially fully contracted state, the front end portion of the link arm member 60 comes into contact with the rear end portion of the contact plate 92a and the gas spring 50 is extended. Can be locked.

  The lock lever 94 includes a rotation connecting member 94a (see FIG. 2A) fixed to the lock plate 92, and an arm member 94b connected to an end of the rotation connecting member 94a. The rotation connecting member 94a is a rod-like member, and is fixed to the lower surface of the lock plate 92 in a state extending in the lock plate width direction, one end portion of which protrudes to the outside of the one side (right side) support plate 41 and the other end. The part protrudes to the outside of the support plate 41 on the other side (left side). A tension spring 96 is provided between the end portion of the rotation connecting member 94 a projecting to the outside of the one side support plate 41 and the one side support plate 41.

  The tension spring 96 has a rotation range of the lock plate 92 between a lock position where the gas spring 50 is locked by the lock plate 92 and a lock release position (see FIG. 3) where the gas spring 50 is unlocked. It is arrange | positioned so that it may extend most in the intermediate position. For this reason, when the lock plate 92 rotates to the lock position side from the position where the tension spring 96 is most extended, the lock plate 92 is biased downward by the tension force of the tension spring 96 to hold the lock plate 92 in the locked position. Further, when the lock plate 92 is rotated to the unlocking side from the position where the tension spring 96 is most extended, the lock plate 92 is biased upward by the pulling force of the tension spring 96 and the lock plate 92 is opened. Hold on.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the arm member 94b has a front end pivotally supported by the other end of the rotation connecting member 94a and a rear side extending rearward along the support plate 41. The rear end portion of the arm member 94b forms a handle portion 94b1 that bends away from the support plate 41. The rear side of the arm member 94b is supported movably in the front-rear direction by an arm support member 97 attached to the support plate 41 and extending toward the arm member 94b.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 2A, 2B, 3, 4, and 5 for the operation of the apron raising assist mechanism 40 when the apron 25 moved to the work position Ps is operated to be raised. While explaining. When the apron 25 is moved to the working position Ps, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the gas spring 50 is substantially fully contracted and the rod side end 50a thereof is locked by the locking device 90. Locked by. The link plate 70 extends in the front-rear direction. Further, the shaft portion 72 inserted through the long hole 60a (see FIG. 2B) of the link arm member 60 is located at the rear end portion of the long hole 60a. Further, the movable shaft portion 46 connected to the rod side end portion 50 a of the gas spring 50 is located on the rear end side of the long hole 41 a of the support plate 41.

  In the case where the apron 25 is flipped up when the apron raising assist mechanism 40 is in such a state, first, the operator performs an operation of grasping the handle portion 94b1 of the lock lever 94 of the locking device 90 and pulling it backward. Do. When the handle portion 94b1 is pulled rearward, the lock plate 92 rotates to the front side against the urging force of the tension spring 96 via the rotation connecting member 94a. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, the lock plate 92 is rotated upward, the rear end portion of the contact plate 92 a is disengaged from the front end portion of the link arm member 60, and the lock state of the gas spring 50 is released. .

  When the locked state of the gas spring 50 is released, the operator holds the apron 25 and pulls it upward. When the operator pulls up the apron 25, the gas spring 50 extends as shown in FIG. 4, and the movable shaft portion 46 connected to the rod side end portion 50a moves to the front side of the long hole 41a of the support plate 41. To do. When the front end portion of the link arm member 60 comes into contact with the front end portion of the contact plate 92a and the operator pulls up the apron 25, the front end portion of the contact plate 92a is linked to the link plate 92a as shown in FIG. The lock plate 92 is pushed further forward by the front end portion of the arm member 60, and eventually the lock plate 92 rotates downward with the shaft portion 91 as a fulcrum, and is biased toward the lock position (lock standby state) and apron. The raising of 25 ends.

  When the apron is pulled up, the pair of link arm members 60 move to the front side, and the link plate 70 rotates to the front side with the fulcrum shaft portion 45 as a rotation fulcrum. As a result, the elastic force of the gas spring 50 acts on the apron 25 via the apron-side connecting member 75 to urge the apron 25 to rotate upward. For this reason, the operator can flip up the apron 25 with a small force.

  Then, after the apron 25 is flipped up, when the apron 25 is returned to the normal work position (see FIG. 2B), the lock device 90 is already in the lock standby state. When the operator presses down the apron 25, the front end of the link arm member 60 moves backward while sliding on the lower surface of the contact plate 92a, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2B, the lock plate 92 is locked at the same time as the front end portion of the link arm member 60 is removed from the lower surface of the contact plate 92a, and the apron 25 returns to a state where normal work can be performed. To do.

  Thus, since the apron raising assist mechanism 40 is disposed above the shield cover 22 and the apron 25, the apron raising assist mechanism 40 does not protrude outward in the width direction (left-right direction) of the tilling work machine 1. For this reason, there is no possibility that the gas spring 50 may come into contact with an obstacle such as a bag or a side wall and be damaged during the operation. Moreover, since the apron raising auxiliary mechanism 40 is unitized and can be attached to and detached from the tilling work machine 1, it can be placed at any place as long as it can be placed between the shield cover 22 and the apron 25. Can be installed. Therefore, the apron raising assist mechanism 40 has a large degree of freedom in arrangement with respect to the tilling work machine 1 and can be mounted on different working machines.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the apron flip-up assist mechanism 40 can flip up the apron 25 even if the apron 25 is locked with the gas spring 50 kept in a substantially fully contracted state. In this case, when the apron 25 is pivoted upward, the link plate 70 pivots forward about the fulcrum shaft 45, but the forward movement of the link arm member 60 is regulated by the lock device 90. The link arm member 60 cannot move to the front side.

  However, since the shaft portion 72 of the link plate 70 moves to the front side of the long hole 60a along the long hole 60a provided in the link arm member 60, the upward rotation of the apron 25 is allowed, and the apron 25 is moved. It can be flipped up and moved to the open position Pk. However, since the assistance by the elastic force of the gas spring 50 cannot be obtained when the apron 25 is flipped up, the burden on the operator when the apron 25 is flipped up becomes large.

  In this manner, the apron 25 can be flipped up without using the apron flip-up assist mechanism 40 while maintaining the locked state of the locking device 90. In this case, the burden on the operator increases, but it becomes an effective means when the gas spring 50 is damaged and cannot be extended. Of course, the apron 25 is allowed to swing in the vertical direction in accordance with normal tillage work.
