A pair of left and right first tension rollers 250L and 250R, a pair of left and right second tension rollers 251L and 250R, which are arranged from the upstream side to the downstream side with reference to the transport direction A (see arrow A in FIG. 5), and A pair of left and right third tension rollers 252L, 252R, (6) a left pulling tension pulley group 260L disposed on the outside and inside of the left pulling and conveying belt 210L and adjusting the tension of the entire left belt, and a right pulling and conveying A right pulling tension pulley group 260R which is disposed outside and inside the belt 210R and adjusts the tension of the entire right belt; and (7) a substantially square column member having a hollow inside, and a bearing portion 271 at each rear end portion. A pair of left and right pull-out conveyance frames 270L and 270R.

  The upper ends of the drive shafts 221 of the pair of left and right pull-out drive pulleys 220L and 220R are rotatably supported by the respective bearing portions 271 of the pair of left and right pull-out conveyance frames 270L and 270R, and the respective drives. The lower end portion of the shaft 221 is connected to the pair of left and right universal joints 6c and 6c, so that power branched in the left and right direction is transmitted from the front end portion of the transmission shaft 6b (see FIG. 1).

  Note that the lower ends of the pair of left and right universal joints 6c, 6c are bearing members provided at upper and lower portions of the left and right ends of a substantially T-shaped transmission branch case 6d (see FIGS. 1 and 3) in plan view. It is connected to the tip of a vertical transmission shaft 6e (see FIGS. 1 and 3) that is rotatably supported by. The transmission branch case 6d is connected to the front end portion of the transmission shaft case that houses the transmission shaft 6b, and the vertical transmission shaft 6e that transmits the power branched in the horizontal direction from the front end portion of the transmission shaft 6b in the vertical direction. The transmission mechanism is housed.

  Further, the left pulling driven pulley 230L and the left holding roller group 240L can rotate with respect to the left holding force adjusting frame 280L attached to the lower surface of the front end portion of the left pulling conveyance frame 270L so that the position can be changed.

  Further, each of the pair of left and right holding force adjusting frames 280L and 280R is provided with two long holes 281 in the front-rear direction and in the left-right direction within the range of the long holes 281 (arrows in FIG. 5). H), and a pair of left and right clamping force adjusting frames 280L and 280R are fixed to a pair of left and right pull-out conveyance frames 270L and 270R by fastening members 282 such as bolts and nuts. is there.

  As a result, the operator loosens the fastening member 282 and slides the left and right pair of clamping force adjustment frames 280L and 280R in the left-right direction (see the arrow H in FIG. 5), and then positions the left and right by the fastening member 282. By firmly fixing each of the pair of clamping force adjustment frames 280L and 280R to the pair of left and right pulling conveyance frames 270L and 270R, the gap G (see FIG. 5) between the pair of left and right pulling conveyance belts 210L and 210R is easy. Can be adjusted.

  Therefore, the operator can easily adjust the clamping force on the upstream side of the conveyance path of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 in accordance with the thickness of the foliage W1 of the radish W and the working time (whether there is morning dew). Is too weak to prevent the radish W from being pulled out of the field and to be manually pulled out, and the pinching force is too strong to crush the foliage W1, and the shoulder aligner 300 removes the foliage W1. Since it cannot be taken over and can be prevented from being returned to the original hole in the field with the upper end portion W2b of the main body portion W2 of the radish W remaining, the upper end portion W2b of the main body portion W2 of the radish W is removed in a later step. This work does not occur.

  Further, the operation of adjusting the clamping force on the upstream side of the conveyance path of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 can be easily performed by loosening the fastening member 282 and sliding the pair of left and right clamping force adjustment frames 280L and 280R. As a result, work efficiency is improved.

  Instead of the above-described configuration for adjusting the clamping force of the pulling / conveying device 200 using the fastening member 282, for example, a radish for eating, radish for processing (for example, for oden), pickles It is good also as a structure which switches the said clamping force by a single touch in three steps about the daikon radish.

  Next, four sandwiching rollers constituting the pair of left and right sandwiching roller groups 240L and 240R will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).

  FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram for explaining a two-stage roller member 241a out of the four sandwiching rollers constituting the pair of left and right sandwiching roller groups 240L and 240R, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE in FIG. It is an arrow view. FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram for explaining a single-stage roller member 241b among the four sandwiching rollers constituting the pair of left and right sandwiching roller groups 240L and 240R, and FF in FIG. It is a cross-sectional arrow view.

  The four clamping rollers constituting the pair of left and right clamping rollers 240L and 240R mounted on the pair of left and right clamping force adjusting frames 280L and 280R are close to the pair of left and right pulling driven pulleys 230L and 230R as shown in FIG. The two-stage roller member A 241a (see FIG. 6A) is arranged in order from the side, followed by one single-stage roller member 241b (see FIG. 6B), and then the two-stage roller member 241a. Two (see FIG. 6A) are respectively arranged (see FIGS. 1 and 5).

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the two-stage roller member 241a has upper and lower two-stage rollers that are in contact with the inner wall surfaces of the pair of left and right pull-out conveyor belts 210L and 210R, and are rotatably attached to the long shaft 241a1. The rib-like protrusions 211 protruding inward from the inner wall surfaces of the pair of left and right pull-out conveying belts 210L and 210R are inserted into the gap between the upper and lower two-stage rollers, so that the pressing force by the rollers can be reduced. It is a structure that is reliably transmitted to the side.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the one-stage roller member 241b has an upper one-stage roller that is in contact with the inner wall surfaces of the pair of left and right pull-out conveyance belts 210L and 210R and is rotatably attached to the short shaft 241b1. The upper roller is disposed on the upper side of the rib-shaped protrusion 211 protruding inward from the inner wall surface of the pair of left and right pull-out conveyor belts 210L and 210R, so that the pressing force is applied to the belt side by the upper roller. And a space is secured below the roller.

  Further, since the one-stage roller member 241b is disposed corresponding to the position where the leaf and leaf portion W1 of the radish W is handed over from the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 to the shoulder aligning apparatus 300, the one-stage roller member on the bottom side of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200. Since the front end portions of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R of the shoulder alignment device 300 can be inserted into the space 241b (see FIG. 6B), the shoulder alignment device and the pulling conveyance device 200 are aligned with the shoulder. The gap with the device 300 can be shortened, and the foliage W1 can be reliably taken over.

  As a result, the two-stage roller member 241a is brought into contact with both sides of the rib-like protrusions 211 of the pair of left and right pull-out conveying belts 210L and 210R to increase the holding force, thereby pinching the reaction force when pulling out the radish W. Can be prevented, so that the radish W can be reliably pulled out from the field.

  Further, in the pair of left and right drawing conveyance belts 210L and 210R, the front end portion of the shoulder aligning device 300 is disposed adjacent to the portion without the lower roller, and the foliage W1 is sandwiched by the one-stage roller member 241b via the belt. Therefore, the foliage W1 is prevented from falling off when the shoulder alignment device 300 takes over.

  In addition, the left pulling conveyance frame 270L supports the left first tension roller 250L, the left second tension roller 251L, and the left third tension roller 252L at respective one end portions in a rotatable manner.

Due to the elastic force (contracting force) of the first tension spring 250a, the second tension spring 251a, and the third tension spring 252a, an urging force that tries to rotate clockwise in a plan view is always acting. Due to the urging force, the first tension roller 250L on the left side, the second tension roller 251L on the left side, and the third tension roller 252L on the left side press the inner peripheral surface of the left pull-out conveying belt 210L with different pressing forces. It is a configuration.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the pressing force by the left first tension roller 250L, the left second tension roller 251L, and the left third tension roller 252L becomes weaker from the upstream side to the downstream side of the conveyance path. In this manner, the elastic forces of the first tension spring 250a, the second tension spring 251a, and the third tension spring 252a are adjusted in advance.

  Also for the right pull-out conveyance frame 270R, the first rotation arm 250b, the second rotation arm 251b, and the third rotation arm 252b are also in the first rotation in the same manner as the left-side extraction conveyance frame 270L. The fulcrum 250c, the second rotation fulcrum 251c, and the third rotation fulcrum 252c are attached so as to be rotatable.

  As a result, the first tension roller 250R on the right side, the second tension roller 251R on the right side, and the third tension roller 252R on the right side gradually weaken the inner peripheral surface of the right pulling conveyance belt 210R in the order described.

  Thereby, a constant gap can always be secured on the upper surface of the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, so fragments such as the upper end W2b of the radish W cut by the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, The spacer mounted between the lower surface of the transmission cases 8L and 8R arranged on the left and right and the upper surface of the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R or on the lower surface side of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment driving pulleys 320L and 320R Since the clogging can be prevented between the lower surface of the right and the upper surfaces of the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, the work of removing the clogged radish W debris becomes unnecessary. Even when the spacer is not mounted, a boss portion 511 having a predetermined height is provided on the upper surface of the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, and a certain gap is secured. The blades 510L and 510R can be prevented from coming into contact with the lower surfaces of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310L.

  In addition, as described above, the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L and 370R are attached to and detached from the front end portions of the pair of left and right main frames 9L and 9R via attachment plates (not shown) with fastening members (for example, bolts and nuts). Each of the upper end portions of the shoulder alignment drive shafts 321 and 321 is detachably inserted and connected to the rotation shafts of the pair of left and right first sprockets 610L and 610R by spline connection. Thus, in the case of only rough cutting work in which the cutting positions of the foliage W1 are not aligned, the shoulder aligning device 300 can be removed, so that the width (degree of freedom) of the work content that can be handled is widened.

  Further, the left shoulder alignment first roller 340L is rotatably attached to a left belt interval first adjustment plate 341L attached to the lower surface of the left shoulder alignment stay 370L so that the position thereof can be changed.

  Further, the right shoulder alignment first roller 340R is rotatably attached to the right belt interval first adjustment plate 341R attached to the lower surface of the right shoulder alignment stay 370R so that the position thereof can be changed.

Similarly to the two rollers 350L and 350R, the pair of left and right belt spacing third adjustment plates and the belt spacing fourth adjustment plate attached to the lower surfaces of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L and 370R, respectively, It is mounted so that it can rotate.

  As a result, the operator loosens the fixing members (not shown) that individually fix the pair of left and right driven pulley support portions 331 and 331 to the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L and 370R, respectively. A pair of left and right driven pulleys are fixed by the respective fixing members after sliding and positioning in the left and right direction (see arrow H in FIG. 5) so that the belt interval J1 on the entrance side of the transport path becomes a desired dimension. The support portions 331 and 331 are firmly fixed to the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L and 370R.

  Furthermore, the operator loosens the fastening member 343, and the belt interval of the conveyance path gradually becomes narrower from the upstream side toward the downstream side, and the body cutting device 500 (see FIGS. 1 and 7) in plan view. Therefore, the belt distance J2 (see FIG. 7) at the position opposed to the pair of left and right shoulder-aligned second rollers 350L and 350R, which roughly corresponds to the position at which the upper end W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W is started, is the minimum dimension. The left and right pair of belt spacing first adjustment plates 341L and 341R, and the pair of left and right belt spacing second adjustment plates 351L and 351R on the downstream side thereof are individually set in the left and right direction (arrows in FIG. 7). H), and the positioning member 343 is used to position the pair of left and right belt spacing first adjustment plates 341L and 341R and the pair of left and right belts. The distance between the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R is fixed to the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L and 370R by firmly fixing the second interval adjustment plates 351L and 351R, etc. (see FIG. 7). ) Can be easily adjusted.

  In the present embodiment, the belt interval at the position where the pair of left and right shoulder aligned third rollers 380L and 380R face each other and the belt interval at the position where the pair of left and right shoulder aligned fourth rollers 390L and 390R face each other are also described above. Is set to be the same as the interval J2.

  Therefore, according to the above configuration, the operator can adjust the pair of left and right driven pulley support portions 331 and 331, the pair of left and right belt interval first adjustment plates 341L and 341R, and the pair of left and right pair of left and right belt intervals. The plates 351L, 351R, etc. can be individually slid in the left-right direction (see arrow H in FIG. 7) and positioned, and can be firmly fixed to the pair of left and right shoulder alignment stays 370L, 370R. The width of the passage formed by the shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R (see reference numerals J1 and J2 in FIG. 7) is adjusted widely, for example, in the case of a large radish diameter (20 mm to 60 mm) for oden In the case of a small radish diameter (10 mm to 40 mm) for pickles, it can be adjusted narrowly.

  Further, the single foliage rotary blade 410 of the above-described foliage cutting device 400 is provided on a rotating shaft 721 protruding upward from a second sprocket 720 for foliage cutting device, which will be described later, housed in the left transmission case 8L. On the other hand, it is inserted and connected so as to be detachable by spline connection, and the mounting height of the single foliage rotary blade 410 can be changed by using the same spacer as in the case of the trunk cutting device 500 described above. Has been.

  Further, the cutting guide bar 420 of the above-described foliage cutting device 400 has a substantially inverted L shape in a side view, and a lower end portion thereof is welded and fixed to a side surface of the right shoulder alignment stay 370R. The distal end side of the upper end portion is located above the rotary blade 410 so as not to interfere with the single foliage rotary blade 410 and is disposed at a position overlapping the outer peripheral portion of the rotary blade 410 in plan view. (See FIG. 7).

  Next, the main body upper end portion discharge guide 800 having the same structure as the upper foliage discharge guide 291 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), which is a rod-shaped member having a circular cross section, will be described.

  That is, at the rear end of the shoulder aligner 300, the upper end W2b of the main body W2 cut by the trunk cutting device 500 passes through the rear side of the outer peripheral edge of the right shoulder aligner driving pulley 320R, and is drawn and conveyed. The upper end of the main body is discharged so as to be discharged from the rear wheel drive shaft 3Ra (see FIG. 2) on the right rear wheel 3R in a plan view in a position away from the radish W pulled out by the device 200. A guide 800 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the upper end discharge guide 800 of the main body is curved in a substantially U shape in plan view, and the curved portion is located on the right shoulder from the exit side of the conveyance path of the shoulder aligner 300. It is arranged above the right shoulder alignment drive pulley 320R along the rear side of the outer peripheral edge of the alignment drive pulley 320R.

  Specifically, the base 801 of the upper end discharge guide 800 of the main body is detachably fixed to the right outer surface of the left transmission case 8L.

  It should be noted that the shoulder outlet star wheel (not shown) having the same configuration as the extraction outlet star wheel 293 of the above-described foliage discharge member 290 is provided with the upper surface of the right shoulder alignment driving pulley 320R and the lower surface of the right transmission case 8R. Between the right shoulder alignment drive pulley 320R and the shoulder alignment drive shaft 321 may be detachably attached. As a result, the foliage remaining on the upper end W2b of the main body W2 cut by the body cutting device 500 is more reliably secured by the irregularities on the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder foil for the shoulder alignment outlet and the main body upper end discharge guide 800. And is discharged rearward from the rear wheel drive shaft 3Ra on the right rear wheel 3R.

  As a result, the portion cut by the trunk cutting device 500 and discharged by the upper end discharge guide 800 of the main body falls to a place away from the position of the radish returned to the original hole, thereby preventing the recovery of the radish. This improves the efficiency of collection work.

  Further, the rear wheels 3L and 3R step on the discharged parts, the working posture of the machine body is disturbed, the pulling and conveying device 200 fails to pull out the radish, and the cutting surface on the upper end side of the main body is rough, resulting in a commercial value. Decrease is prevented.

  The main body upper end portion discharge guide 800 of the present embodiment is an example of the main body upper end portion discharge guide member of the present invention.

  Next, the upper end portion W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W is cut by the trunk cutting device 500, and the radish inclination is brought into contact with the back side of the radish returned to the original hole of the field V so that the radish is inclined forward. The apparatus 900 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the radish tilting device 900 (1) tilts the radish forward each time it comes into contact with the back side of the radish returned to the original hole, and counteracts force from the tilted radish. A contact member 910 that temporarily moves backward, and (2) a counter switch 920 that detects the number of backward movements of the contact member that is repeated each time the contact member 910 contacts the radish. Yes.

  The contact member 910 is a rectangular plate-like member that is long in the horizontal direction in the front view, and includes a resin member that forms the upper end portion of the plate-like member and a lower portion that is connected to the resin member. It is comprised integrally with the rubber member.

  In addition, the upper end portion of the contact member 910 is rotatably attached to a radish inclination device attachment stay 930 that is bridged and fixed to the lower surfaces of the pair of left and right main frames 9L and 9R.

  The contact member 910 is disposed substantially below the pair of left and right shoulder driving pulleys 320L and 320R in a side view.

  As a result, when the rubber member portion of the contact member 910 pushes the radish, the radish inclines forward, and the resin member portion connected to the rubber member moves backward to move the counter switch 920. By pressing the protrusion, the number of radishes extracted by the extraction conveying device 200 can be counted and displayed.

  Therefore, since the operator can easily grasp the number of radish collected by reading the numerical value displayed on the counter switch 920, there is no need for the operator to count the collected radish, and the work efficiency is improved. Labor can be reduced.

In addition, the radish tilting apparatus 900 of this Embodiment is an example of the crop tilting apparatus of this invention.
The contact member 910 of the present embodiment corresponds to an example of the crop contact member of the present invention, and the counter switch 920 of the present embodiment corresponds to an example of the number detection member of the present invention.

  According to the above configuration, when the radish W is pulled out, the pulling / conveying device 200 can be pulled out by appropriately performing the left / right direction (see arrow H in FIG. 5) of the pair of left and right clamping rollers 240L and 240R of the pulling / conveying device 200. On the other hand, in the range where the greatest load is applied, the pressing force by each clamping roller is reliably transmitted to the pair of left and right drawing conveyance belts 210L and 210R, and the foliage W1 of the radish W is firmly clamped and moved rearward and obliquely upward. Thus, the main body W2 of the radish W is reliably pulled out from the field V.

  Thereafter, as the pair of left and right first tension rollers 250L and 250R is conveyed toward the third tension rollers 252L and 252R, the belt clamping force by each tension roller of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 becomes weaker.

  On the other hand, the belt interval J1 (see FIG. 7) on the entrance side of the conveyance path in the shoulder aligner 300 arranged horizontally with respect to the field V is below the shoulder W2a at the upper end of the radish W. Is set so as not to pass through upward, and is configured not to prevent upward movement of the radish W by the pulling and conveying device 200. However, as described above, the belt interval of the conveying path of the shoulder aligning device 300 is as follows. As it goes from the upstream side toward the downstream side, it gradually becomes narrower, and the clamping force by the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L, 310R becomes gradually stronger.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the foliage W1 of the radish W is moved rearward and obliquely upward along the conveyance direction A (see FIG. 5) of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200, but the main body W2. The upper end shoulder W2a of the shoulder aligner 300 is in contact with the lower surfaces 310La and 310Ra (see FIG. 6B) of the pair of left and right shoulder aligning belts 310L and 310R of the shoulder aligning device 300 so that upward movement is restricted. . When the shoulder W2a of the radish W comes into contact with the lower surfaces 310La and 310Ra of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R, the gripping force by the pulling / conveying device 200 is weak and the gripping force by the shoulder alignment device 300 is strong. Therefore, the upward movement of the shoulder W2a is restricted downstream from the contact position, and the upper end W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W is cut by the trunk cutting device 500 (see FIGS. 1 and 7). In the vicinity of the start position, the position of the shoulder W2a of the radish W in the height direction is aligned.

As a result, the shoulder aligner 300 aligns the position of the shoulder W2a of the radish W, so the upper end W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W of the radish W is reliably cut at a desired position by the trunk cutting device 500. The foliage cutting device 400 can cut the foliage W1 of the radish W at a desired position.
Further, since the cutting of the main body W2 is started before the cutting of the foliage W1 of the radish W is started, when the main body W2 is cut, the foliage W1 is connected to the pulling and conveying device 200 and the shoulder alignment device. Since it is firmly held by the upper and lower positions by 300, for example, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the shift in the cutting position and the occurrence of cutout that the main body part W2 is shifted forward and cut obliquely at the time of cutting. The surface is also beautifully finished.

  In addition, after the upper end W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W is cut, the main body W2 of the radish W falls and returns to the original hole (see FIG. 1).

  Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the cutting operation of the upper end W2b of the main body W2 of the radish W in post-processing, so that the work efficiency can be improved and the labor can be reduced.

  In addition, the radish tilting device 900 can tilt the radish returned to the hole in the field forward, and the hole at the place where the radish was vegetated becomes large, so that it is easy for the operator to lift up when collecting the radish. As a result, work efficiency is improved.

  Further, the provision of the counter switch 920 eliminates the need for the operator to count the number of collected radishes.

  Further, since the foliage W1 cut by the foliage cutting device 400 does not have the upper end W2b of the radish W, the upper foliage discharge guide 291 and the lower foliage discharge from the exit of the conveyance path of the pulling conveyance device 200. It is guided by the guide 292 and is smoothly discharged to the right side of the aircraft without being caught.

  Further, by making the foliage discharge member 290 detachable and changing the discharge direction of the cut foliage part, cut foliage according to the cultivation position of the radish and the necessity of recovery of the cut foliage part Since the discharge position of the portion can be changed, the stems and leaves that have been discharged and fall over the radish are prevented from interfering with the recovery operation of the radish, and the work efficiency is improved.

  Further, the upper end portion W2b of the radish W cut by the trunk cutting device 500 has a stem and leaf portion left on the shoulder portion on the right side from the exit side of the conveying path of the shoulder alignment device 300 by the main body upper end portion discharge guide 800. By being conveyed along the rear side of the outer peripheral edge portion of the alignment drive pulley 320R, it is discharged rearward from the rear wheel drive shaft 3Ra on the right rear wheel 3R.

  Further, the respective shoulder alignment drive shafts 321 and 321 of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment drive pulleys 320L and 320R are a pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades based on the conveying direction of the shoulder alignment device 300 (see arrow A ′ in FIG. 7). By being arranged downstream of the boss portions 511 and 511 of each of 510L and 510R, the load generated when the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510 cuts the radish is used as a pair of left and right shoulder alignment driving pulleys 320L. , 320R shoulder alignment drive shafts 321 and 321 can be prevented from being directly received, so that the conveyance operation by the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R is prevented from being unstable, and the cutting position of the main part of the radish, It is prevented that the cutting position of the foliage is disturbed and the radish is not sufficiently pulled out.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the exit side of the conveyance path of the shoulder aligner 300 can be positioned on the rear side of the machine body, that is, on the rear side of the pair of left and right rear wheels 3L, 3R. It is possible to prevent the upper end portion of the discharged radish from falling on the course of the pair of left and right rear wheels 3L and 3R.

  Note that the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R of the present embodiment is an example of a pair of left and right endless alignment belts of the present invention. Further, the pair of left and right shoulder drive pulleys 320L and 320R of the present embodiment is an example of the pair of left and right alignment drive pulleys of the present invention.

  Moreover, the single foliage rotary blade 410 of this Embodiment corresponds to an example of the leaf cutting blade of the present invention. Further, the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R of the present embodiment is an example of the pair of left and right main body cutting blades of the present invention.

A sprocket 720, and (3) a second transmission chain 730 wound around the first sprocket 710 for foliage cutting device and the second sprocket 720 for foliage cutting device.

  In addition, since a space is secured below the trunk cutting device 500 with the above configuration, the upper end W2b is cut and comes into contact with the radish W that is returned to the original hole of the field V, so that the main body W2 is damaged. This prevents the product value from being lowered.

  Further, since the rubber member portion of the contact member 910 that presses the radish main body W2 has elasticity, the radish main body W2 is not damaged, and the commercial value is prevented from being lowered. .

  In addition, by arranging the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R so as to be substantially horizontal with respect to the field scene, when aligning the position of the shoulder W2a at the upper end of the main body W2 of the radish W, Since the shoulder W2a at the upper end of the main body W2 of the radish W comes into contact with the lower surfaces 310La and 310Ra of the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R, it can be prevented from being lifted further upward. The belt is prevented from turning up and coming off.

  In addition, since the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 is provided with a pair of left and right holding roller groups 240L and 240R, the holding force near the entrance of the conveying path of the drawing and conveying apparatus 200 is increased. Can be reliably pulled out from the field, improving the efficiency of the radish collection work.

  Further, each of the pair of left and right pulling / conveying device covers 202L and 202R described above is configured to be divided forward and backward in the vicinity of the center in a plan view as shown in FIG.

An arranged configuration may be used. A configuration example in this case is shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view showing a second shoulder aligner 1300, a pair of left and right torso rotary blades 510L and 510R, and a second foliage rotary blade 1410 as a configuration example different from the configuration example shown in FIG. . The same components as those shown in FIG. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 8, the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, in plan view, of the cutting edge upstream of the portion existing on the conveyance path formed by the pair of left and right second shoulder alignment belts 1310L and 1310R. The part is configured to be positioned downstream of the part of the blade edge on the upstream side of the part existing on the conveyance path in a plan view of the single second foliage rotary blade 1410. Further, in order to prevent the foliage portion W1 from being pushed by the second foliage rotary blade 1410 and escaping, the first foliage blade W1 is guided to the second foliage rotary blade 1410 side in a substantially inverted L-shape in a side view. Two cutting guide bars 1420 are provided. Also, the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R are connected to the second shoulder alignment drive shafts 1321 and 1321 extending downward from the pair of left and right second shoulder alignment drive pulleys 1320L and 1320R through splines.

In the case of the configuration shown in FIG. 8, a pair of left and right second shoulders is provided on the rotating shafts 621 and 621 extending downward from the pair of left and right second sprockets 620L and 620R housed in the left and right transmission cases 8L and 8R. The alignment drive pulleys 1320L and 1320R are detachably inserted and connected by spline connection. In the case of the configuration of FIG. 8, the second sprocket 1720 for second foliage cutting unit housed in the left transmission case 8L is disposed in front of the second left sprocket 620L in plan view. In addition, the single second foliage rotary blade 1410 disposed above the left transmission case 8L is splined with respect to the second rotating shaft 1721 protruding upward from the second sprocket 1720 for the second foliage cutting device. It is detachably inserted by connection. Further, in the left transmission case 8L, another second transmission chain 1730 in which the first sprocket 710 for foliage cutting device and the second sprocket 1720 for the second foliage cutting device are wound is disposed. .

  According to the configuration shown in FIG. 8, the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R are coaxially connected to the second shoulder alignment drive shafts 1321 and 1321 of the pair of left and right second shoulder alignment drive pulleys 1320L and 1320R by spline connection. By adopting the configuration connected above, the front and rear width of the second shoulder aligner 1300 can be shortened, the structure can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, and the body weight can be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the star wheel or the like is not provided between the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R and the pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R has been described. A configuration in which a pair of left and right soft star foils or the like are provided between them may be used. According to this structure, it becomes easy to convey backward, without clogging the upper end part of the main part of the cut radish. Further, a pair of left and right soft star wheels may be provided on the rotation shafts of the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R.

  Moreover, in the radish drawing machine 1 of the said embodiment, although the structure which provided the foliage rotary blade 410 above the shoulder alignment apparatus 300 was demonstrated, it is good also as a structure which set the diameter of this foliage rotary blade 410 still larger. As a result, the large diameter foliage rotary blade covers most of the upper surface of the rear portion of the shoulder aligner 410 in plan view, so that the debris and soil of the foliage falling from above are shoulder aligned belts of the shoulder aligner 300. The effect as a guard body which makes it difficult to enter the rotating parts such as 310L and 310R is exhibited.

  Moreover, in the radish drawing machine 1 of the said embodiment, the foliage rotary blade 410 rotatably provided above the shoulder alignment apparatus 300 is the 2nd for foliage part cutting device accommodated in the left transmission case 8L. In the above description, it is assumed that the rotating shaft 721 (see FIG. 7) protruding upward from the sprocket 720 is spline-connected, that is, the foliage rotating blade 410 is supported rotatably from below. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the left and right pulling conveyance frame 270L of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 is provided with a bearing portion at the upper end of the rotation shaft of the foliage rotating blade 410, so that the foliage rotating blade 410 is formed. It is good also as a structure supported so that rotation from both up and down is possible.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the counter switch 920 (refer FIG. 1) counts the frequency | count of the movement to the back of the said contact member repeated whenever the contact member 910 contacts a radish, and the number of radishes is detected. The configuration to be described has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, instead of the foliage rotary blade 410, it includes a non-rotating rectangular straight blade arranged so as to incline and cross the conveying path of the shoulder alignment device 300 in plan view, One end of the straight blade located on the upstream side in the longitudinal direction is rotatably supported within a certain rotation range (for example, 0 ° to 5 °), and the blade edge of the straight blade is a spring. Even if the counter switch is provided so as to be in contact with the back surface of the other end on the downstream side in the longitudinal direction of the straight blade. good. As a result, the foliage W1 of the radish W conveyed by the drawing / conveying device 200 abuts against the cutting edge of the straight blade and opposes the urging force of the spring member, and the straight blade is turned downstream with its one end as a rotation center. The number of radishes can be counted when the counter blade is pushed by the back of the other end of the straight blade. Note that the straight blade is rectangular in consideration of the stability of the posture when coming into contact with the crop as an example, but an arcuate blade such as a knife or sword in consideration of the cutting ability of the crop. It is good also as what has a saw blade-shaped blade part in order to make it have, and to make a blade easy to bite into a crop.

  Further, in the radish drawing machine 1 of the above embodiment, a pair of left and right shoulder alignment belts 310L, 310R is provided by providing brushes or scrapers (not shown) on the outer surfaces of the transmission cases 8L, 8R arranged on the left and right. It is good also as a structure which cleans the outer peripheral surface.

  Moreover, in the radish drawing machine 1 of the said embodiment, it is good also as a structure which provides the grounding ring (illustration omitted) in the raising mechanism 100, and makes it float. Further, in this case, the grounding wheel may be arranged behind the pair of left and right lateral pulling devices 130L and 130R and below the front end portion of the pulling and conveying device 200. In this case, the grounding wheel may be configured such that its mounting height can be adjusted.

  The diameter of the grounding ring provided in the raising mechanism 100 is at least smaller than the diameter of the gauge ring 2 (see FIG. 1). Specifically, it is desirable that the diameter is substantially the same as the front-rear distance immediately below the lower end rear portion of the pulling mechanism 100 and the conveyance start end portion of the pulling conveyance device 200. Further, the lateral width of the grounding wheel is the same as that of the gauge wheel 2 or is made wider than that of the gauge wheel 2.

  Thereby, even if a grounding wheel is provided, the front-rear width of the raising mechanism 100 is prevented from being significantly widened, and the raising mechanism 100 can be made compact. In addition, by making the right and left width of the grounding wheel the same as or wider than the gauge wheel 2, the grounding pressure of the grounding wheel is reduced and it is possible to prevent the traveling performance from being hindered.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a pair of left and right substantially inverted U-shaped pipe members with respect to the back side of the rear covers 133b and 133b that cover the pair of left and right lateral pulling devices 130L and 130R from the rear side. A case has been described in which the front end portions of a pair of left and right parallel link arms 160L and 160R whose rear end portions are rotatably connected to the side surfaces of the front end portions of 203L and 203R are connected and fixed by fastening members ( (See FIGS. 1 and 3). However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, an actuator that adjusts the vertical position of the pulling mechanism 100 by connecting the rear end portions of the parallel link arms 160L and 160R to the rotating shaft and raising and lowering the pulling mechanism 100. (Not shown) may be disposed at the upper end of the pipe member 203L (or 203R) having a substantially inverted U shape on the left side (or right side).

  In this case, the front end portion of the substantially cylindrical actuator configured to be movable in the front-rear direction by the rotation of the rotation handle is erected on the upper surface of the left (or right) parallel link arm 160L (or 160R). The upper end of the rotating arm is connected to the pin member. When the operator turns the rotary handle to one side and the front end of the actuator moves backward, the left parallel link arm 160L rotates clockwise through the pin member and the rotary arm in the left side view. The raising mechanism 100 moves up. Conversely, when the front end of the actuator is moved forward by rotating the rotation handle to the other side, the left parallel link arm 160L is rotated counterclockwise in the left side view via the pin member and the rotation arm. It rotates and the raising mechanism 100 descends.

  Furthermore, when the above-mentioned grounding ring (not shown) is provided in the pulling mechanism 100 to float, the shape of the connecting hole for inserting the pin member provided at the front end portion of the actuator described above is formed. It may be a long hole. Thereby, the play which releases the load at the time of raising mechanism 100 moving up and down by the unevenness | corrugation etc. of a field can be provided, and the improvement of durability can be aimed at.

  Moreover, in the radish drawing machine 1 of the said embodiment, the bumper 14 (refer FIG. 1, FIG. 2) provided below the engine 4 is good also as a structure which served as the maintenance stand. According to this configuration, the operator pushes down the operation handle 5 downward until the lower surface of the bumper 14 comes in contact with the ground, so that the front side of the aircraft, that is, the raising mechanism 100 side is lifted from the ground. Therefore, maintenance of the raising mechanism 100, the shoulder aligning device 300, the pair of left and right body cutting rotary blades 510L and 510R, and the like can be performed. Further, in the case of this configuration, the bumper 14 may be configured such that an operator can step on and lift the raising mechanism 100 side when turning the aircraft. Further, the bumper 14 may also serve as a rope hook, and if the bumper 14 is further divided at the center, the rope can be easily passed therethrough. The bumper 14 may also function as a weight stay, or may have a configuration in which an oil pan can be set in order to improve maintainability.

  In the above-described embodiment, the horizontal conveyance speed of the drawing conveyance apparatus 200 and the shoulder alignment apparatus 300 is set to be approximately the same as the traveling speed of the aircraft (for example, 0.18 m / sec). Although it demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, For example, you may set slightly faster than the running speed of a body. By setting it slightly faster, the radish W can be prevented from being pushed down or broken.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the raising mechanism 100 was equipped with a pair of left and right vertical raising devices 110L and 110R and a pair of left and right horizontal raising devices 130L and 130R, For example, a configuration in which one vertical pulling device is arranged on the left side and one horizontal pulling device is arranged on the right side of the back surface may be adopted.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the pulling and conveying apparatus 200, the left pulling driven pulley 230L and the left pinching roller group 240L are rotatably attached to the left pinching force adjustment frame 280L and the right pulling follower.

Both of the pair of left and right clamping force adjustment frames 280L and 280R are provided in the horizontal direction (FIG. (See arrow H in FIG. 5), the position adjustment is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one of the pair of left and right clamping force adjustment frames 280L and 280R is adjusted in the horizontal direction. The other frame may be configured such that the position of the other frame cannot be adjusted. Even in this case, the width on the entrance side of the conveyance path of the pulling and conveying apparatus 200 (see symbol G in FIG. 5) can be easily adjusted, so that the same effect as in the case of the above configuration is exhibited.

For example, only the left or right shoulder-driven pulley, the first shoulder-aligned roller, the second shoulder-aligned roller, the third shoulder-aligned roller, and the fourth shoulder-aligned roller can be adjusted in the left-right direction. Also good. Even in this case, the width on the entrance side of the conveyance path of the shoulder aligner 300 (see reference numeral J1 in FIG. 7) can be easily adjusted, so that the same effect as in the case of the above configuration is exhibited.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the foliage part cutting device 400 demonstrated the structure provided with the single foliage rotary blade 410, even if it is a structure provided with not only this but a pair of left and right rotary blades, for example. good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the foliage cutting device 400 includes the single foliage rotary blade 410 is described. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and for example, a configuration including a fixed blade may be used. In this case, the fixed blade is arranged such that the blade portion inclines and crosses the conveying path of the shoulder aligning device 300 in plan view, and the conveying path of the shoulder aligning device 300 among the fixed blades. The portion of the blade that crosses is downstream of the portion of the blade tip upstream of the portion of the pair of left and right barrel cutting blades 510L and 510R (see FIG. 7) on the conveying path of the shoulder aligning device 300 in plan view. Is located. With this configuration, the structure can be simplified.

  Further, in the case of a configuration using a fixed blade instead of the foliage rotary blade 410, a larger number of holes than the number used when actually fixing are provided at equal intervals as the fixing holes provided in the fixed blade. It may be a configuration. With this configuration, the fixing position of the fixed blade can be changed by appropriately shifting the hole actually used among the plurality of fixed holes, and the sharpness of the fixed blade can be maintained for a long time.

  In the above embodiment, the radish W has been described as an example of the crop of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, even if the crop to be extracted is a root vegetable such as carrot, The same effect is demonstrated.

  Further, the height of the transmission shaft 6b protruding forward from the transmission case 6 (see FIG. 1) described in the above embodiment is lowered, so that the pulling / conveying device is inclined. Compared to the case of the above embodiment, it can be made milder. With this configuration, the leaf removal position at the rear end of the pulling and conveying device from which the cut foliage is discharged can be made lower than in the case of the above embodiment, so that the foliage is not easily blown away by wind or the like. I can do it.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pair of left and right shoulder alignment driving pulleys 320L and 320R, the pair of left and right shoulder alignment first rollers 340L and 340R, the pair of left and right shoulder alignment second rollers 350L and 350R, The shoulder-aligned third rollers 380L and 380R and the pair of left and right shoulder-aligned fourth rollers 390L and 390R are substantially V-shaped corresponding to rib-shaped protrusions protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the shoulder-alignment belt at the outer peripheral ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the outer diameter of each upper surface is made larger than the outer diameter of the lower surface. In order to make the diameter slightly larger, a configuration in which a collar portion is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface may be employed. This collar can prevent the shoulder alignment belts 310L and 310R from derailing upward. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provided the convex part over the perimeter of the outer periphery edge part of the said collar part provided in the outer peripheral part of the upper surface of a pair of left-right shoulder drive pulley 320L, 320R. With this configuration, in the shoulder aligning belts 310L and 310R of the shoulder aligning device 300, even if the belt interval is widened, the decrease in frictional force can be compensated for and the conveying force can be maintained. .

  In addition to the above-described buttocks, a pair of left and right shoulder alignment drive pulleys 320L and 320R of the shoulder alignment device 300, a pair of left and right shoulder alignment first rollers 340L and 340R, a pair of left and right shoulder alignment second rollers 350L and 350R, A plate-like belt detachment preventing member having a diameter larger than the diameter of the flange portion in the vicinity of the upper surface of each of the pair of left and right shoulder aligned third rollers 380L and 380R and the pair of left and right shoulder aligned fourth rollers 390L and 390R A configuration provided with With this configuration, the belt detachment preventing member projects outward from the collar portion in a plan view, so that it can be easily returned even if the belt is about to come off.

  Further, in the configuration example shown in FIG. 8, the outer peripheral surface of the pair of left and right second shoulder alignment belts 1310L and 1310R that surrounds the outer periphery of the pair of left and right second shoulder alignment drive pulleys 1320L and 1320R, and the lower surface of the outer peripheral surface.
