Description

The present invention relates to a cultivating device capable of cultivating work while traveling between furrows, and a walking type working machine provided with means capable of scraping up cultivated soil to the left and right located behind the cultivating device.

In the walking type work machine, weeding, medium cultivation work for the purpose of improving soil air permeability, and soil cultivation work for the main purpose of preventing the occurrence of adventitious roots and crop lodging may be performed. The middle tillage work and the soil cultivation work are carried out by scraping the soil cultivated by the tillage device to the left and right.
As a walking type working machine of this type, for example, the techniques described in the following [1] and [2] are already known.
[1] A plow-shaped soil cultivator and a molded plate, which are provided with a front plate located in the front toward the lower end side and left and right side plates as soil cultivation means, are provided at a location on the rear side of the tilling device. A walking type work machine in which a gauge ring is arranged on the rear side of a ridger and a molding plate is shown (see Patent Document 1).
[2] A soil hilling plate made of a rubber plate or a synthetic resin plate is provided at the rear side of the tilling device, and the resistance rod is grounded on the rear side of the soil cultivation plate so that the soil cultivation work can be performed. (See Patent Document 2).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-126409 (see paragraphs "0015" and "Fig. 1") Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-236587 (see paragraphs "0027", "0037", "FIG. 1", and "FIG. 4")

As described in [1] above, when a plow-shaped ridger is used, there is a problem that the ridger itself is heavy and difficult to use for a lightweight and compact walking work machine. .. In addition, since the gauge wheel is located on the rear side of the ridger, if the steering handle is turned to the rear side, the gauge wheel may be located near the feet of the operator holding the steering handle, which may hinder walking. be. For this reason, the steering wheel can be operated while being pulled forward, but this has a problem in terms of operability.

As described in [2] above, a structure using a hilling plate made of a rubber plate or a synthetic resin plate is advantageous in that the weight of the hilling means can be reduced. However, in this structure, the soil cultivation work is performed by grounding the resistance rod that embeds the lower end side in the soil, so the attitude stability of the traveling aircraft is inferior to that when the tail wheel is used, and stable soil cultivation is performed. There is room for improvement in that it is difficult to work. In addition, since the resistance rod provided on the rear side of the hilling plate is located near the feet of the operator holding the steering wheel, the hilling work may be performed, so that the resistance rod may hinder walking. There is.

The present invention aims to reduce the size and weight of a means capable of scraping up cultivated soil to the left and right, and to enable stable and easy-to-operate soil cultivation work while gripping the steering wheel. Is.

In order to achieve the above object, the walk-behind work machine according to the present invention is a walk-behind work machine provided with a drive running device and capable of plowing work running between furrows, and a control handle is connected to the walking work machine by an operator. The main body of the aircraft to be operated, the tilling device supported at the rear part of the main body of the aircraft, and the main body of the aircraft which is supported by the main body of the aircraft while being located behind the tilling device and touches the field during the traveling of the tilling work. An auxiliary wheel that assists the traveling posture of the above, and a plate-shaped member that is provided behind the tilling device and can scrape up the soil cultivated by the tilling device into the left and right ridges while elastically deforming the soil during the traveling of the tilling work. is provided, said plate-like member, the state positioned over the left and right both sides of the auxiliary wheel and, provided in a state of overlapping with the auxiliary wheel in the fuselage side view, the lateral middle portion of the plate-like member A notch extending in the vertical direction is formed in the lower portion of the above, and the auxiliary ring is provided so as to enter the notch .

According to the present invention, since a plate-shaped member capable of elastically deforming cultivated soil and scraping it up to the left and right is used, a large-scale plow-shaped soil cultivating device is not required, and a lightweight and compact plate-shaped member is used. Can perform soil cultivation work. Then, although the training wheels are used to easily stabilize the traveling posture of the main body of the machine body, the training wheels overlap with the plate-shaped member in the side view of the machine body, that is, the same degree as the existence position of the plate-shaped member. Since it is provided closer to the front side, it is easy to avoid interference with the feet of the operator holding the control handle.
As a result, there is an advantage that the means for scraping the cultivated soil to the left and right can be reduced in size and weight, and the medium cultivation or hilling work can be performed stably and with good operability.
Further, according to this configuration, it is not necessary to significantly change the shape of the plate-shaped member by setting the training wheels to enter the notch.
That is, in order to overlap the training wheels with the plate-shaped members in the front-rear direction in the side view of the machine body in the absence of the notch, the training wheels are pressed against the plate-shaped members and the contact points of the plate-shaped members protrude forward. It is necessary to form a plate-shaped member with a bent portion that is deformed so as to bend or that is deformed in advance so as to allow the training wheels to enter.
When the training wheels are pressed against the central portion of the plate-shaped member to deform it into a bent state, the shape of the edge of the left and right end portions of the plate-shaped member tends to collapse, which may lead to deterioration of work performance.
In order to form a bent portion that has been deformed in advance so as to allow the training wheels to enter into the plate-shaped member, it is necessary to form the bent portion in advance, such as by molding the plate-shaped member. There is a risk that the cost will rise.
Compared to this, in this configuration in which a notch is formed in the lower part of the central portion in the left-right direction of the plate-shaped member so that the training wheels are inserted into the notch, the shape of the plate-shaped member is not significantly changed. It is easy to carry out hilling or hilling work without breaking the edge shape of the left and right ends of the plate-shaped member.

In the above configuration, the plate-shaped member is located at a position of the lower end portion of the plate-shaped member in the front-rear direction of the machine body in the auxiliary wheel in the front-rear direction of the machine body when the training wheel is running. It is preferable that it is configured to match or substantially match with.

According to this configuration, since the plate-shaped member moves up and down instantly in response to the unevenness of the ground between the furrows and the presence or absence of obstacles at the work target location, it is difficult for an unnecessary load to act on the plate-shaped member.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the plate-shaped member is provided so as to be located on the front side of the axle of the training wheels.

According to this configuration, since the axle portion of the training wheels is located on the rear side of the location where the plate-shaped member exists, it is easy to prevent a large amount of cultivated soil scattered to the rear side from adhering and accumulating on the axle portion. .. As a result, it is easy to avoid a problem that the adhering mud gets into the axle portion of the training wheels and hinders smooth rotation.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the plate-shaped member is supported by a reinforcing member having a higher rigidity than the plate-shaped member along the notch.

According to this configuration, regardless of the presence of the notch portion, the reinforcing member suppresses deformation around the notch portion, and it is easy to maintain the overall shape of the plate-shaped member in an appropriate state.

In the above configuration, a support member for supporting the training wheels to the main body of the machine body is provided, and the support member is provided behind the reinforcing member and comes into contact with the reinforcing member from the rear side of the machine body during the tilling work. It is preferable that the amount of rearward deformation of the plate-shaped member is limited.

According to this configuration, the support member abuts on the reinforcing member from the rear to limit the deformation of the plate-shaped member. It will be in charge, and it is not necessary to make the reinforcing member itself with extremely strong heavy parts. This is useful in that the weight of the reinforcing member can be reduced and the weight of the entire plate-shaped member including the reinforcing member can be reduced.

In the above configuration, the position of the lower end portion of the reinforcing member in the vertical direction coincides with or substantially coincides with the position of the portion of the training wheels that comes into contact with the field during the tilling work. It is preferable that it is configured in.

According to this configuration, since the ground contact portion of the training wheels coincides with or substantially coincides with the lower end portion of the reinforcing member, only the lower end portion of the reinforcing member that is in contact with the ground is deformed by receiving an external force in the push-up direction from the lower side. The risk is reduced. That is, when an external force acts on the lower end of the reinforcing member in the pushing-up direction from the lower side, the pushing-up external force from the lower side also easily acts on the training wheels, and only the plate-shaped member is pushed up from the lower side and deformed. The risk is reduced, and good soil cultivation work is likely to be performed.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the lower end portion of the plate-shaped member projects downward from the lower end portion of the reinforcing member.

According to this configuration, the lower end of the plate-shaped member projects downward from the lower end of the reinforcing member, so that the lower end of the protruding member tends to bend in the horizontal direction and come into contact with the ground. As a result, the ground contact area at the lower end of the plate-shaped member is increased, and the surface pressure at the contact point of the training wheels is reduced. easy.

When the soil cultivation work is performed using the soil cultivation device 4 described later, the rear cover 23 is removed from the rear end portion of the rotary cover 22 or the lower end portion is folded upward to be in an unused posture.

[Hilling equipment]
The hilling device 4 is attached to a support member 3 supported at the rear end of the rear frame 19. Auxiliary wheels 30 are provided on the lower end side of the support member 3.
The soil cultivation device 4 is located on the rear side of the rotary tilling device 2, and includes a plate-shaped member 40 capable of scraping the soil cultivated by the rotary tilling device 2 into the left and right ridges during the tilling work.
The soil cultivation device 4 described here is a convenient name and can be used not only for soil cultivation work but also for medium cultivation work.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the training wheels 30 are supported by a mounting bracket 31 provided at the lower end of the tubular support member 3 and are rotatable around a rotation axis x2 along the left-right direction. It is pivotally supported by.
The mounting bracket 31 is provided with a horizontal piece 32 along the left-right direction which is welded and fixed to the lower end portion of the support member 3 at the upper portion, and a vertical piece along the vertical direction extending downward from one horizontal side of the horizontal piece 32. It is provided with 33 and is bent in an inverted L shape in a front-rear direction.
Around the rotation axis x 2 which is the axis of the support shaft 34 (corresponding to the axle of the training wheels 30) supported by the vertical piece 33 in a state where the vertical piece 33 is located on the left lateral side of the training wheels 30. Therefore, the training wheels 30 are rotatably mounted.

The plate-shaped member 40 is made of a plate material having a certain degree of flexibility and elastically deformable, such as rubber or a synthetic resin material.
The left and right side edges 40b and 40b of the plate-shaped member 40 are formed in an upwardly expanding shape so that the upper side is located laterally outward with respect to the lower side. The overall shape of the plate-shaped member 40 is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape in which the length of the upper end edge 40a in the left-right direction is longer than that of the lower end edge 40c in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 5, a notch 40d extending in the vertical direction is formed in the lower portion of the central portion in the left-right direction on the lower end edge 40c side of the plate-shaped member 40. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a reinforcing member 41 having a higher rigidity than the plate-shaped member 40 is mounted on the peripheral edge of the notch 40d along the notch 40d.
In the reinforcing member 41, when the plate-shaped member 40 pushed by the mud tries to be displaced to the rear side during the tilling work, the support member 3 located at the rear abuts from the rear side, and the notch portion 40d This is for limiting the amount of rearward deformation of the plate-shaped member 40 in the vicinity of the portion where the plate-shaped member 40 is provided.

That is, the reinforcing member 41 includes a rear protruding horizontal piece 41b along the vertical direction at the peripheral lateral side position of the notch portion 41d of the reinforcing member 41 itself and a rear protruding upper piece 41a along the left and right direction at the upper position of the notch portion 41d. And the rear protruding upper end piece 41c along the left-right direction at the upper end position of the reinforcing member 41.
Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the rear protruding upper piece 41a abuts on the horizontal piece 32 of the mounting bracket 31 provided at the lower end of the support member 3, and the rear protruding horizontal piece 41b is the mounting bracket 31. It is possible to abut the vertical piece 33 to suppress the displacement of the reinforcing member 41 to the rear side and limit the amount of deformation of the plate-shaped member 40 to the rear side.
The rear protruding upper end piece 41c, together with the rear protruding upper piece 41a, functions as a rib member for suppressing deformation of the reinforcing member 41 itself. As a result, when an external force is applied from the front to the rear on the left-right end side of the plate-shaped member 40, the central portion of the plate-shaped member 40 in the left-right direction and the reinforcing member 41 are laterally outward in the left-right direction. It is possible to limit the degree of bending and deformation so that it recedes toward the side.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the position of the lower end portion of the reinforcing member 41 in the vertical direction coincides with or substantially coincides with the position of the part of the training wheels 30 that comes into contact with the field during the tilling work. The lower end of the plate-shaped member 40 projects downward from the lower end of the reinforcing member 41.
Therefore, when the training work is carried out with the training wheels 30 grounded, the lower end portion of the plate-shaped member 40 protruding downward from the lower end portion of the reinforcing member 41 bends to the rear side, as shown by a virtual line in FIG. It is easy to prevent the plate-shaped member 40 from further settling by touching the ground in the state of being grounded.

The left-right width of the notch 40d of the plate-shaped member 40 and the notch 41d of the reinforcing member 41 is formed to be wider than the left-right width of the training wheels 30. By attaching the training wheels 30 and the plate-shaped member 40 to the notches 40d and 41d in a state where the training wheels 30 are inserted into the portions in front of the support shaft 34 of the training wheels 30, as shown in FIGS. The plate-shaped member 40 is provided in a state of overlapping with the training wheels 30.
In this way, the position of the lower end portion of the plate-shaped member 40 in the front-rear direction of the machine body is the position in the front-rear direction of the machine body of the training wheels 30 where the lower end portion of the plate-shaped member 40 comes into contact with the field during the tilling work. It is configured to match or substantially match with.

A metal plate frame material 42 extending in the left-right direction of the machine body is attached to the upper end portion of the plate-shaped member 40 along the upper end edge 40a. The frame member 42 has a higher rigidity than the plate-shaped member 40, and acts as a reinforcing member attached to the left and right sides of the plate-shaped member 40 and to face the surface of the plate-shaped member 40. Since the frame member 42 acting as the reinforcing member is attached to the upper end portion of the plate-shaped member 40, the elastically deformable range of the plate-shaped member 40 is limited. The plate-shaped member 40 is connected to the support member 3 via the frame member 42 at the upper end thereof.
The support member 3 to which the plate-shaped member 40 is connected is inserted through the support cylinder portion 19a provided at the rear end portion of the rear frame 19, and the lower end side is extended downward. The support member 3 is provided with a stay 3A extending in the left-right direction of the machine body as a mounting portion for mounting the plate-shaped member 40.

The stay 3A is a fixed stay 35 welded and fixed to the support member 3 at an intermediate portion in the extending direction of the support member 3 extending downward, and an intermediate portion detachably attached to the fixed stay 35. The stay 36 and the stay 36 are provided.
The fixed stay 35 and the intermediate stay 36 are connected and fixed by inserting a connecting bolt 36a fixed to the intermediate stay 36 side into a connecting hole 35a provided on the fixed stay 35 side and tightening with bolts and nuts.
