Description

Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act applies On March 28, 2019, Nagano Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. disclosed the invention at the completion ceremony of the Nagano Gibier Processing Center.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carcass carrier, and more particularly, to a carcass carrier in which a carcass of a slaughtered beast is placed on a main body and driven by a winch that winds a wire.

In recent years, the damage to agriculture and forestry has become more serious with the increase in the number of wild animals such as deer and wild boar and the expansion of their habitat. As one of countermeasures against damage, it has been promoted to kill wild animals by hunting or the like and to effectively utilize their meat. However, only a very small proportion of the killed wild animals are processed for food, and most of them are discarded. One of the reasons for this is that there is a distance from the slaughtering place of wild animals to the slaughterhouse, and it is difficult to bring them in quickly, making it difficult to use them as meat.

Therefore, in order to promote the use of meat from wild animals, the issue is how to quickly dismantle them after slaughter. Therefore, the inventors of the present application have conceived of solving the problem by using a mobile processing vehicle using an automobile. Here, we also studied a method of using a conventionally known mobile food business vehicle (see Patent Documents 1 and 2), but the mobile business vehicle can process, cook, and sell food to consumers. It was a vehicle that was used directly for slaughtering wild animals, and could not be used for butchering wild animals.

JP 2008-265487 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-231046

Therefore, first, the inventors of the present application have found that it is possible to move by running to a place where wild animals are slaughtered or a place in the vicinity thereof, and dismantling the carcasses of the beasts killed at that place. We worked on the development of a mobile dismantling vehicle that can carry out

Here, a mobile dismantling vehicle that dismantles carcasses needs to be provided with mechanisms for cleaning, dismantling, cooling, etc., and thus cannot be equipped with each mechanism unless the vehicle body is relatively large. Therefore, there may arise a problem that narrow roads make it impossible to enter wild animal slaughtering sites where roads are inadequately maintained or places in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, the inventors of the present application have found that it is possible to enter a place where the road width is narrow near the slaughter place, and play a role of relay transportation between the mobile slaughter vehicle (or meat processing facility) and carcass processing. Worked on vehicle development.

However, even if it is possible to enter narrow roads, it is impossible to enter places where there is no road (space) to enter, such as bushes, forests, and streams. Challenges can arise. Therefore, we came up with the idea of solving this problem by developing a carcass carrier that plays a role of intermediate transportation from the slaughter place to the above-mentioned mobile dismantling processing vehicle or carcass processing vehicle.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. To provide a body carrier for transporting bodies between a vehicle and a mobile dismantling processing vehicle or a body processing vehicle.

The present invention solves the above problems by means of solutions as described below.

According to the present invention, the carcass carrier is a carcass carrier in which the carcass of a slaughtered beast is placed on the main body, and the winch runs by the power of winding the wire, and the above-mentioned is placed at the center of the main body. A placing portion for placing a body, an arm portion held by an operator at the rear portion of the main body, a running wheel at the lower portion of the main body, and a winch mounting portion for detachably mounting the winch at the front portion of the main body. , wherein the winch mounting portion is configured to be foldable by being provided with a rotation shaft near the center portion of the main body and rotated with respect to the main body.

According to the present invention, for example, it is possible to enter and run in places such as bushes, forests, and streams that car body processing vehicles cannot enter if they are configured according to the light vehicle standard, and mobile dismantling processing can be performed from the slaughtering place. A body carrier can be realized by transporting a body between a vehicle or a body processing vehicle.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view (schematic view) showing an example of the body carrier 1 according to this embodiment. Two implementation schemes are realized: (a)) and the second scheme (FIG. 1(b)). FIG. 2 is a side view (schematic view) for explaining the structure and operation of the muzzle carrier 1. In the figure, the muzzle is indicated by symbol C (not shown in FIG. 1). For convenience of explanation, the arrows in the drawing indicate the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal directions of the body carrier 1 . Further, in all the drawings for describing the embodiments, members having the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated description thereof may be omitted.

As an example, this carcass carrier 1 is carried to a place where animals are killed in mountains and forests, and the carcasses that have been killed are placed on the main body, and the above-mentioned mobile dismantling processing vehicle or carcass processing vehicle is parked. It is used for purposes such as transporting a body to a place where it is. Since it is in a light state with no body placed on it, it is carried to the place of slaughter by being carried (carried on the back) or towed (pushed) by human power, or towed by power such as a winch. In addition, the dimensions of the body carrier 1 are not limited. The standard configuration is about 0.5 to 1 [m] in the lateral direction.

If the body carrier 1 is heavy, it must be passed through uneven places with no roads such as bushes, forests, streams, etc., so that it cannot be driven by human power (traction). ) is assumed to be difficult in many cases, so it is configured with a mechanism in which the winch installed on the main body or outside the main body runs by the power of winding the wire. In the following, a winch is installed (mounted) on the main body, and the tip of the wire wound by the winch is locked by the mobile dismantling processing vehicle or carcass processing vehicle described above, or a tree or the like in the vicinity of the vehicle. A configuration example in which a winch is driven to wind up a wire to pull and travel the hoist carrier 1 will be mainly described.

First, as a schematic configuration of the body carrier 1, a placement section 12 on which the body C is placed is provided in the central portion 10b of the main body 10. As shown in FIG. An arm portion 14 that is gripped by the operator is provided on the rear portion 10c of the main body 10. As shown in FIG. Further, a running wheel 16 is provided on the lower portion of the main body 10 (for example, the lower portion of the area near the central portion 10b). In addition, auxiliary wheels 28 for assisting traveling are provided in the lower part of the main body 10 (as an example, the lower part on the rear side of the attachment position of the rod part 26 described later). A winch mounting portion 18 for mounting a winch E is provided on the front portion 10a of the main body 10 . Here, as an example of the arm portion 14, two rod members 14A and 14B extending obliquely upward toward the rear from both lateral positions of the rear portion 10c of the main body 10, and a connecting rod member 14C connecting the two rod members 14A and 14B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration without the connecting rod member 14C may be employed. As an example of the winch E, either an engine winch driven by an engine or an electric winch driven by a rechargeable battery may be used.

The front portion 10a of the main body 10 may be provided with a wire locking portion 30 for locking the tip portion of the wire of the winch installed outside the main body 10 . According to this, for example, a winch is installed in a place other than the main body 10, such as a mobile dismantling processing vehicle or a body processing vehicle, and the body carrier 1 is driven by driving the winch to wind the wire. It is also possible to use the method of running.

Next, the main body 10 according to this embodiment is configured by combining a frame body made of, for example, a metal material or the like. Further, the placing portion 12 is sufficient if the body C can be placed thereon when it becomes an object to be transported. .

Here, in the present embodiment, the winch E is detachably attached to the winch mounting portion 18 . Here, the winch mounting portion 18 is configured such that the winch E is mounted in a state in which the winding direction of the wire W is directed toward the front side of the main body 10 (see FIG. 1(a)) and in a state toward the rear side (see FIG. 1(b)).

By providing the above configuration, the following two implementation methods can be realized. First, as a first method, if the winch E is mounted on the winch mounting portion 18 with the winding direction of the wire W facing the front side, when the winch E is driven, as shown in FIG. A traction force generated by directly winding the wire W on the wire W can provide power for running the body carrier 1 . According to this, since the wire winding structure is simple, the vehicle can be easily towed and can run smoothly.

On the other hand, as a second method, if the winch E is mounted on the winch mounting portion 18 with the winding direction of the wire W facing the rear side, when the winch E is driven, as shown in FIG. By winding the wire W around the axle 20 that rotates together with the running wheel 16 and then winding it, the rotational driving force of the running wheel 16 connected to the axle 20 and the traction force acting on the axle 20 are combined. It is possible to obtain power for running the body carrier 1. According to this, since the running wheels 16 can be used as driving wheels, it is possible to improve the running performance especially on rough roads with many steps such as rocky terrain. It should be noted that the above two methods can be selectively used according to the conditions of the driving place.

In this embodiment, two running wheels 16 are provided on both sides in the left-right direction of the main body 10 (reference numerals 16A and 16B). As an example, the running wheels 16 are puncture-free tires without air tubes. In addition, the auxiliary wheels 28 for assisting traveling are positioned below the mounting position of the rod portion 26 (described later) of the main body 10 on the rear side (specifically, between the running wheel 16 and the arm portion 14), and One is provided at the central position in the left-right direction of the main body 10 (see FIG. 4). As an example, the training wheels 28 are rollers made of a hard rubber material.

Here, an axle 20 is rotatably supported by the main body 10 via bearings in a state in which the two running wheels 16A and 16B are directly connected. The axle 20 is provided with a winding portion 24 on which a wire W wound by a winch E can be wound (see FIG. 3).

With this configuration, the winch E is mounted on the winch mounting portion 18 with the winding direction of the wire W directed backward, and the wire W is directly connected to the running wheels 16 when the winch E is driven. A mechanism for driving (rotating) the running wheels 16 can be realized by winding the wire around the winding portion 24 of the axle 20 and then winding the wire.

Here, the running wheel 16 according to the present embodiment is disposed at the tip of a rod portion 26 connected to the main body 10 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction. The position of the running wheel 16 with respect to the main body 10 can be switched between the front side and the rear side.

The above-described switching operation is made possible by the operator moving the arm portion 14 up and down to bring the running wheels 16 into contact with and away from the ground with the auxiliary wheels 28 serving as fulcrums. The switching operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c).

First, FIG. 2(a) shows a state in which the rod portion 26 and the running wheels 16 are switched to the front side of the main body 10. FIG. By setting it in this state, it is possible to improve the running performance (escape power) on particularly rough roads such as thickets, forests, and streams.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the worker applies his/her weight to push down the arm portion 14, thereby separating the running wheel 16 from the ground with the auxiliary wheel 28 as a fulcrum (floating). state can be At this time, by allowing the rod portion 26 to rotate freely, the weight of the rod portion 26 and the running wheel 16 directs them downward in the vertical direction.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2(c), the operator pulls the rod portion 26 and the running wheel 16 slightly backward, gradually reducing the weight applied to the arm portion 14 and returning the arm portion 14 upward. Thus, the running wheels 16 can be kept in contact with the ground. As a result, the rod portion 26 and the running wheel 16 are switched to the rear side of the main body 10 . By setting this state, it is possible to improve the running performance on a flat road.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a body carrier 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The body carrier 1 according to this embodiment is similar in basic configuration and operation to the first embodiment described above, but has some differences. The present embodiment will be described below with a focus on the difference.

Here, FIG. 5 is a perspective view (schematic diagram) showing an example of the body carrier 1 according to the present embodiment (winch E, wire W, and body C are not shown). 5(a) shows a state in which the rod portion 26 and the running wheels 16 are switched to the front side of the main body 10 (the operation is the same as the state shown in FIG. 2(a)), and FIG. ) is a state in which the rod portion 26 and the running wheels 16 are switched to the rear side of the main body 10 (the operation is the same as the state shown in FIG. 2(c)). FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which an operator uses the body carrier 1 (winch E, wire W, and body C are not shown), and FIG. It is an explanatory view explaining two implementation methods.

First, in this embodiment, the configuration in which the winch E is detachably mounted on the winch mounting portion 18 is the same as in the first embodiment. Here, unlike the first embodiment, the winch mounting portion 18 is provided with a winch locking portion 32 for locking the fixing hook of the winch E. As shown in FIG. Specifically, as a mounting state of the winch E, as shown in FIG. When the winch locking portion 32A is used, as shown in FIG. , the winch locking portion 32B is used. This makes it possible to fix the winch E on the winch mounting portion 18 more reliably and easily.

Further, unlike the first embodiment, a ring-shaped wire guiding portion 34 is provided on the front portion 10a of the main body 10 for guiding the wire W through the inside thereof when the wire W is wound by the winch E. It is As a result, the entry position of the wire W does not fluctuate, so stable winding becomes possible.

Moreover, the winch mounting portion 18 according to the present embodiment is configured to be foldable toward the mounting portion 12 side (that is, from the front portion toward the rear portion). As a result, the transportation of the body carrier 1 can be facilitated. More specifically, when going to the slaughter place of the carcass, the winch mounting part 18 can be folded toward the placing part 12 to make a compact form, and the operator can carry it on his back. At this time, the winch E can be carried by hand. On the other hand, at the slaughter place, the folded winch mounting portion 18 is returned (unfolded) to a predetermined position from the mounting portion 12 side, and the winch E is mounted on the winch mounting portion 18 and fixed.

Next, in the present embodiment, the configuration including the arm portion 14 and the auxiliary wheels 28 at the rear portion of the main body 10 is the same as in the first embodiment. Here, compared with the first embodiment, the arrangement position of the auxiliary wheel 28 is further closer to the rear part 10c. Therefore, the operation of switching the position of the running wheel 16 with respect to the main body 10 between the front side and the rear side by rotating the rod portion 26 is as follows.

That is, in the first embodiment, the running wheel 16 is separated (floated) from the ground by a method in which the operator pushes the arm portion 14 of the main body 10 downward. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, instead of (or in combination with) the method, the operator pulls the front portion 10a of the main body 10 (for example, the wire locking portion 30 or the winch locking portion 32). etc.), the running wheels 16 can be separated from the ground (floated). As a result, the rod portion 26 can be rotated to switch the position of the running wheel 16 between the front side and the rear side.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a body carrier 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The body carrier 1 according to this embodiment is similar in basic configuration and operation to those of the first and second embodiments described above, but has some differences. The present embodiment will be described below with a focus on the difference.

Here, FIGS. 8A and 8B are schematic diagrams showing an example of the body carrier 1 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 8A being a plan view and FIG. 8B being a side view. 9 is a top side perspective view (schematic view) of the body carrier 1 with the winch mounting portion 18 folded, and FIG. 10 is a bottom side perspective view (schematic view). FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the state of use when an operator shoulders and carries the body carrier 1 with the winch mounting portion 18 folded.

First, the main body 10 according to the present embodiment has support beams 36 (36A, 36B) that can be expanded and contracted by sliding them in the front-rear direction at left and right positions of the main body 10 as components of the frame body. According to this, the expansion and contraction of the support beams 36 (36A, 36B) has the effect of changing the area on which the body C is placed. Therefore, the area of the placement section 12 can be optimally set according to the size of the killed body C. Reference numeral 38 in the drawing denotes a pin for fixing the support beams 36 (36A, 36B) in a state of being slid to a predetermined position (regulating the sliding movement).

Next, the winch mounting portion 18 according to the present embodiment is provided with a rotation shaft 22 at a position near the central portion 10b of the main body 10, and is rotated with respect to the main body 10 so that it can be folded. It is configured. According to this, when the slaughter carrier 1 is transported, the winch mounting portion 18 can be folded into a compact shape, so that the transport can be easily carried out.

Here, in the placing portion 12 according to the present embodiment, the winch locking portion 32 (32A in the present embodiment) provided on the winch mounting portion 18 is placed on the lower surface side when the winch mounting portion 18 is folded. It is configured with an opening 40 for exposure.

In this embodiment, one end is attached to the winch locking portion 32 (here, 32A) exposed from the opening 40, and the other end is attached to the arm portion 14 (or the mounting portion 12). It is configured to further include a detachable shoulder belt B. In addition, the shoulder belt B may be of a fixed type.

According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 11, the worker can carry the body carrier 1 on his or her back. At this time, the winch mounting portion 18 can be folded, and the winch locking portion 32 (here, 32A) can be reused to attach the backpack belt B, which facilitates the transportation work. becomes possible.

Further, the placing portion 12 acts as a sled to climb over obstacles (rocks, trees, etc. on the ground) when the body C is placed on the lower surface side and transported. It is configured with a plate-like portion 42 that functions as a back plate that abuts against the back of the operator when carrying it on the back with the belt B. As shown in FIG. According to this, it is possible to obtain both effects of easiness of carrying when carrying the body and easiness of carrying on the back when carrying.

As described above, according to the present invention, for example, it is possible to enter and run in places such as bushes, forests, and streams that car body processing vehicles cannot enter if they are configured to light vehicle standards. A body carrier can be realized by transporting bodies between a site and a mobile dismantling vehicle or a body processing vehicle.

In particular, wild animals such as deer and wild boar are mostly killed in mountainous areas. Conventionally, they were transported manually. rice field. However, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a body carrier that travels with the power of a winch and has high running performance on rough roads, so that the body can be carried very easily and in a short time.

As described above, the carcass carrier according to the present invention not only greatly reduces the labor for carrying, but also carries the carcass to a mobile dismantling processing vehicle equipped with a cooling mechanism or a carcass processing vehicle in a short time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration of meat quality and maintain freshness at a high level, so it is possible to improve and stabilize meat quality and improve brand power.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, wild animals such as deer and wild boar have been described as examples, but it goes without saying that the same can be applied to livestock animals such as pigs, cows and sheep.
