Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention supports a multi-purpose horticultural running trolley and its running rails that enable integrated work from cultivation to sowing and harvesting in greenhouse cultivation or open field cultivation. It relates to a running rail support block.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in greenhouse cultivation, a running rail is provided on the ceiling of the greenhouse, and a watering pipe with a watering nozzle formed thereon is suspended from a trolley that runs along the rail to water crops in the greenhouse. Alternatively, a self-propelled water sprinkler or chemical spraying device that sprays a chemical solution is known.

The above device is a device exclusively for water sprinkling or chemical spraying, and W
It cannot be applied to consistent tasks necessary for horticulture such as field cultivation, land leveling, sowing or transplanting, fertilization, and harvesting, and conventionally these tasks have been performed independently using each device or by hand. . For example, cultivation is performed by driving a cultivator, and sowing is performed by driving a sowing machine across the field.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In conventional gardening work, even if tools and devices are used, various tasks must be performed while directly operating them, which places a heavy physical burden on each worker and reduces efficiency. It's also bad, and
It is difficult to run equipment such as cultivators and seeders at a constant speed in a straight line, making it impossible to plow uniformly at a constant depth and sow seeds evenly in a straight line.As a result, subsequent fertilization is difficult. Also, chemical spraying, watering, etc. become uneven, and there is a lot of waste, such as spraying to areas where crops are not growing, resulting in uneven growth of crops. In addition, when spraying pesticides by hand, the health damage caused by the pesticides is significant, and from the perspective of health management, automation of pesticide spraying is desired, and self-propelled spraying devices such as the one described above have been put into practical use in greenhouse cultivation. However, unmanned spraying of pesticides has not yet been achieved in open field cultivation. The above-mentioned equipment for greenhouse cultivation is useful in that it allows automatic spraying of chemicals, but it requires a large investment in equipment for a dedicated equipment, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, since watering pipes or chemical spraying pipes are hung from trolleys that run on the ceiling, it is difficult to spray chemical solutions or water only to the areas that are truly needed, such as after sowing or near short crops. can be,
Spraying efficiency is poor as chemicals and water are often wasted.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and can be applied to operations from cultivation to harvest in greenhouse cultivation and open field cultivation, and can save labor and improve efficiency in gardening operations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-purpose horticultural running trolley and a block for supporting the running rail of the running trolley in outdoor cultivation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A running bogie of the present invention that solves the above problems is a bogie that runs on a running rail provided with an appropriate span in a vineyard, and has a main body. Wheels are provided at the four corners of the trolley, and the trolley body supports a watering pipe or a chemical spraying pipe having a plurality of nozzle holes, and an adapter for connecting agricultural equipment such as a cultivator to connect and tow agricultural equipment can be freely attached in the width direction. It has a structure characterized by being provided with a rod for connecting agricultural equipment that can be attached movably.

For greenhouse cultivation, by attaching the rails at approximately mid-height positions of the supports of the gardening house, the above objective can be achieved more effectively and the greenhouse can also be reinforced.

In addition, in open field cultivation, one leg of the running rail joint Indian pipe that connects and supports the running rail, and the arch pipe that makes up the framework of the net tunnel, is rotatably fitted and supported on the block body formed from concrete. By using a traveling rail support block that is equipped with an arch pipe fitting rod and a net supporter that supports the net wound into a roll, the rail can be easily attached and net cultivation in the open field is facilitated. .

(Function) When the appropriate agricultural machinery is attached to the traveling trolley and the trolley is run, the agricultural machinery will be towed by the trolley and move in a straight line while performing work, and when it reaches the end of the vineyard, it will change its connection position to the traveling trolley. By sequentially shifting and reciprocating at the desired pitch, work can be done automatically at the desired pitch.For example, when sowing, attach an adapter for connecting agricultural equipment to the left end of the connecting pipe, and connect the seeding machine to it. If the running trolley is run from one end of the house to the other end, the sowing machine will be towed by the running trolley and move in a straight line, dropping seeds at regular intervals as it moves in a straight line.When the running trolley reaches one end of the house, , move the sowing machine along the connecting pipe by the distance of the ridge width, position it with the adjustment hole, and perform the next sowing in the same way.Also, by connecting the tiller, transplanter, etc. to the adapter for connecting agricultural equipment, you can do the same. can perform individual tasks.

Further, when leveling a field after it has been plowed with a cultivator, the leveling plate can be connected to an adapter and the traveling trolley can be run to easily and uniformly level the field.

On the other hand, when spraying pesticides, adjust the height of the pesticide spraying pipe, select the spray nozzle holes, plug the nozzle holes that are not in use, and move the trolley to achieve the most effective spraying effect. Pesticides can be sprayed automatically at the optimum height. Similarly, in the case of watering, by selecting the height of the watering pipe and the watering nozzle hole appropriately,
Water can be sprinkled only where it is really needed, such as where the seeds are sown, making it possible to water most efficiently and dramatically saving water. Furthermore, since water is not sprayed on unnecessary areas such as the path of the gauge and the lower part of the running rail, it has the effect of preventing weeds from growing in these areas.

Furthermore, the traveling cart can also be used as a loading platform to transport harvested products.

In greenhouse cultivation, by attaching running rails at approximately mid-height positions of the supports, the trolley can be positioned at an appropriate height and also serve as reinforcement for the greenhouse, which also serves as a countermeasure against typhoons.

This is a traveling rail support block used for outdoor cultivation.

By fitting the traveling rails from both sides of the traveling rail joint pipe, the rails are connected and supported. Furthermore, by rotatably fitting one leg of the arch pipe forming the framework of the net tunnel to the arch pipe fitting rod, installation and removal can be accomplished by simply rotating the arch pipe 90 degrees. Furthermore, by supporting the net when not in use with a net supporter, it can be stored next to the vineyard.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the multi-purpose traveling trolley of the present invention installed in a multi-purpose greenhouse.

These are connecting rods installed in parallel at appropriate intervals. Fertilizer 13
As shown in the figure, the fertilizer application port 14 has a plurality of hopper-shaped fertilization ports 14 spaced at equal intervals, and as the traveling cart moves, fertilizer falls from the fertilization ports.

By preparing the fertilizing ports of different sizes and replacing them depending on the type of fertilizer, it is possible to spray a variety of things, including chicken manure, chemical fertilizers, and rapeseed oil meal.

Further, below the connecting rod 12, a chemical solution spraying pipe 16 for distributing a chemical solution is supported via a metal fitting 15 whose height can be adjusted as appropriate. The chemical spraying pipe 16 has a plurality of nozzle holes formed at equal intervals, and is connected to a power sprayer installed outside the vineyard.
It is connected to a pressure-resistant hose at 9 positions, and pesticides are sprayed from the nozzle hole. The nozzle hole can be closed with a plug, so that the spraying interval can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the spacing between rows of crops. Further, 18 is a water sprinkling pipe provided below the connecting rod 19 so that its height can be adjusted, and similarly to the chemical spraying pipe 16, a plurality of closable nozzle holes are formed. The inlet side of the water sprinkling pipe is connected to a water tank 17 placed on the trolley. When sprinkling a large amount of water, the water sprinkling pipe is connected to a water tank or the like installed outside, and connected to a water supply pipe appropriately installed inside the house via a hose.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a rod for connecting various agricultural tools installed between the frame rods 10 and 10, in which a plurality of adjustment holes 21 are formed at equal pitches in the axial direction, and an adapter for connecting the agricultural tools can be connected in the lateral direction. It can be moved and fixed. 2 and 3, an adapter 22 for connecting a cultivator, a transplanter, a seeding machine, etc. and an adapter 23 for connecting other agricultural machinery, etc. are shown attached, and these adapters are attached to the pipe 2.
It can be detachably attached by inserting a pin into the adjustment hole 21.

Although not shown, the traveling trolley 1 configured as described above is driven back and forth by being connected to a rope that is driven to run by a forward and reverse rotation motor installed at one end of the traveling rail 6. Further, when the traveling trolley 1 reaches the end of the rail, a switch is automatically activated to stop driving the motor. Note that the drive device for the traveling truck is not limited to this, and any suitable means such as attaching an engine or a motor to the traveling truck to provide a direct drive system can be adopted. In addition, the control method can also be used to arbitrarily set the speed or to automatically reciprocate through appropriate programming. moreover.

Depending on the case, it is also possible to manually push and move without providing a driving means.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 30 indicates an intermediate arch, and by removing the vinyl from the plastic greenhouse and covering the intermediate arch with a sunshade and an insect-proof net, vegetables can be grown in the greenhouse in the summer. enable. One end of the intermediate arch is rotatably attached to the support of the greenhouse, and when not in use, it can be rotated to be positioned on one side and removed from the upper part of the vineyard.

The apparatus of this embodiment is constructed as described above. For example, when sowing seeds, the adapter 22 is attached to the left end of the connecting pipe 2o.
Fix it with a pin, and as shown in Figure 4,
A well-known vacuum seeding machine 31 is connected. And traveling trolley 1
When the sowing machine is run from one end of the house to the other end, the sowing machine moves in a straight line while being towed by the running cart, sowing seeds at regular intervals. When the traveling trolley 1 reaches one end of the house, the sowing machine 31 is moved along the connecting pipe 20 by the distance between the rows, positioned by the adjustment hole 21, and similarly sown the second row. In this way, the traveling truck is repeatedly driven back and forth to sequentially sow seeds.

Furthermore, by connecting a cultivator, transplanter, etc. to the adapter 22, individual tasks can be performed in the same way. Furthermore, when leveling the field after it has been plowed with a cultivator, the leveling can be done easily and uniformly by connecting the leveling plate 24 to the adapter 23 and driving the traveling cart.

Furthermore, when spraying pesticides, adjust the height of the pesticide spraying pipe 16, select the spray nozzle holes, plug the nozzle holes that are not in use, and move the traveling trolley as shown in Figure 1. As shown, pesticides can be automatically sprayed at the optimal height for the highest spraying effect. In particular, when spraying pesticides, if the trolley is made self-driving, the pesticide can be sprayed automatically without the need for humans to enter the greenhouse. It can eliminate health problems. In addition, in the case of watering, by appropriately selecting the height of the watering pipe 19 and the watering nozzle hole, it is possible to water only where it is truly needed, such as the sowing position, and to achieve the most efficient watering. can.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the traveling vehicle of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame of the traveling vehicle 32 is adjusted to be located at a high position, and the height of the vehicle such as cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, green beans, etc. This makes it suitable for watering crops with high temperatures and for spraying chemicals.

It has a hanging pipe 39 that hangs down from the upper pipe so as to be located between the sheets. The hanging pipe 35
It has a branch pipe 36 of an appropriate length having a nozzle at its tip. Therefore, by supplying the chemical liquid or water to these pipes with a pump, water or the chemical can be sprayed from the top and sprayed, and can also be sprayed from the bottom to the top. This allows the chemical to be sprayed on the underside of the leaves, increasing the preventive effect and effectively exterminating pests on the underside of the leaves.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is an embodiment in which the traveling cart of the present invention is applied to outdoor cultivation.

In this embodiment, a traveling rail 38 is supported by a traveling rail support block 40 as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, and a traveling carriage 39 is provided to travel on the rail. The traveling cart also has a chemical dispersion pipe, a watering pipe, and a fertilizer holding pipe as in the previous embodiment.

The attachments to which the adapters for connecting cultivators, seeders, etc. and the adapters for connecting leveling plates are attached have pipes, etc., and can be used in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.

The traveling rail support block 4 that supports the traveling rail.
0 has a convex cross-sectional shape as shown in Figures 7 to 9, and is designed to support the running rail, support the support pipe that supports the net, and support the net when not in use. It is configured.

In the isothermal zone of Okinawa, vegetables can be cultivated even in extremely hot seasons by controlling light transmittance and moisture evaporation rate, and by controlling temperature and humidity even outside of high-temperature periods. In order to hasten the germination and growth of seeds, and also to prevent insects and wind, it is recommended to cover them with cheesecloth or nets at a height of 40 to 40 cm in outdoor cultivation.
The floating area is covered with a tunnel of about 5 cm in length. Conventionally, these net cultivation methods consist of constructing a tunnel framework by erecting arch pipes supporting the net at appropriate intervals in the vineyard, then stretching the net over the tunnel framework, and covering both edges of the net with soil to secure the net. Fixed. And when harvesting,
Wind up the net and remove the arch pipe. and,
After the next sowing, the arch pipe is erected and the net is stretched again as described above, and the net tunnel is constructed and removed for each cultivation session. This work is not only complicated and requires considerable hard labor, but also involves sticking the legs of the arch pipe into the ground to set it upright, making it difficult to stand the arch pipes in a straight line in long vineyards. In addition, there are other problems such as requiring a large space to store the arch pipe after removal.6 In this example, it is possible to easily construct and remove tunnels for net cultivation, and to store the removed net. The present invention provides a traveling rail support block capable of realizing net cultivation that does not require a special space for storage of arch pipes and arch pipes, and the rails of the traveling cart are laid on the traveling rail support block. It is.

In the figure, 41 is a joint pipe made of a combination of a pipe 42 having the same inner and outer diameter as the running rail pipe and a pipe 43 having the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the running rail pipe, and a metal fitting 44 is attached to the upper part of the running rail support block. The traveling rail is easily connected by fitting the traveling rail pipe to the pipe 43. 45 is a net supporter for holding the net in a rolled state when not in use, and 46 is a rotatable one leg of an arch pipe that supports the net to cover crops in a tunnel shape during net cultivation. This is an arch pipe leg fitting pipe that fits into the arch pipe leg. 47
is a net fixing pipe that fixes the edge of the net, and a clamping pipe 48 having a notch in the axial direction for clamping the net is fitted into the net fixing pipe, and the net fixing pipe and the clamping pipe are fitted. Secure the edge of the net between the two. 49 is a joint pipe for connecting pipes for holding down the net stretched over the arch pie.

The present embodiment is constructed as described above, and as shown in FIG. The running rails 38 are joined together and the running rails 38 are installed, and the running carts 39 are installed on the running rails so as to be able to move freely.Similarly to the embodiment described above, a cultivator is connected to the adapter of the running cart to plow the vineyard, etc. Work up to sowing and transplanting can be performed using the traveling trolley. Thereafter, one leg of the arch pipe 50 is fitted into the arch pipe leg fixing pipe 46 of the traveling rail support block, and the other leg is erected in the ground to erect the arch pipe in the shape of a tunnel. I will set it up and arrange it. By covering the net with the net, fixing the edge of the net with the net fixing pipe, holding it down with the net holding pipe connected by the joined pipe, and holding the other end with the pipe extending in the direction of the enemy, you can easily make the net. Tunnels can be built. Note that 51 is a footboard fixed to the arch pipe, and by stepping on the footboard, the arch pipe 50 can be easily pushed into the ground.

52 is a joint pipe for inserting and connecting the net holding pipe.

Create a net tunnel as described above, and then
As shown in FIG. 6, by moving a traveling cart above the net 53, watering, chemical spraying, or fertilization can be performed from above the net or by removing the net as appropriate.

If you want to remove the net.

From the side where the arch pipe leg is erected in the ground, roll the net horizontally until it reaches the net supporter 45, then support the net on the net supporter 45, and then unroll the net. When tensioning the net, all that is required is to unwind the rolled net held on the net support, so it is very easy to tension and remove the net. When the arch pipe is to be removed at harvest time, the net on the arch pipe is wound up and supported on the net supporter 45, and one leg of the arch pipe, which is erected in the ground, is Pull it out from the inside, rotate it 90'' around the arch pipe leg fitting pipe to which the other end leg is fitted, and position it along the line where the traveling rail support block is located, as shown in Figure 11. Let me clean it up.

Thereby, the arch pipe can be put away without interfering with subsequent cultivation work in the vineyard, etc., and without taking up space. Therefore, the arch pipe can be removed simply by rotating the arch pipe, so there is no need to collect the arch pipes in one place as in the past, making the removal work easier and faster. . Furthermore, when constructing a net tunnel, it is only necessary to perform the steps in the reverse direction of the removal work, so construction is very simple and can be done efficiently in a short time.

The functions of the traveling trolley in this embodiment are almost the same as those in the previous embodiment, so detailed explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the traveling bogie according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the lower frame of the traveling bogie shown in FIG. The space below the trolley was enlarged to make work easier. That is, in this traveling bogie 55, a vertical rod 57 hangs down from the machine frame 56 over the entire surface on one side in the traveling direction, the height of which can be adjusted freely, and the lower part thereof is connected by a horizontal rod 58, and a support rod 59 is attached to the horizontal rod. The number of pesticides Vibro 0 and watering Vibro 1 are attached through the. Also,
Although not shown, an appropriate adapter can be attached to the horizontal rod 58 in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. Also, 6

Reference numeral 66 denotes a hopper for spreading fertilizer, which is supported by hanging down from the machine frame 56 so as to be movable in the width direction. Similarly, 67 is a water tank which is supported by a support plate 68 with vertical rods hanging from the machine frame. Further, although not shown, by installing a windable sheet on the upper surface of the single machine frame as a sunshade or rain shield, work can be carried out smoothly even on hot summer days or rainy days.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and that various design changes can be made within the scope of the claims.

(Effects) The present invention has the above configuration and provides the following special effects.

The traveling trolley has an appropriate span and can be attached to various agricultural machinery that travels over the vineyard and can freely reciprocate on rails along the vineyard, making it suitable for cultivation in greenhouses and open fields. The whole process from harvesting to harvesting can be done consistently, making it possible to save labor and improve efficiency in the gardening industry.

In addition, agricultural equipment is pulled by a trolley and moves in a straight line while performing the work, so seeds can be sown in a straight line and subsequent work can be done evenly in a straight line, saving seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and water. However, it is possible to grow crops evenly.
