Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a rice husk covering device for vegetable cultivation, and in particular to a device that facilitates the work of covering the lower part of the stalk in the cultivation of long onions. It is something.

(Conventional technology) During the growing process of green onions, covering the lower part of the stem with soil to shield it from sunlight prevents greening of this part and increases its commercial value. Since the thickness is insufficient, methods using rice husks as the covering material have recently become popular.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in this covering process, the rice husks are placed in a bag or the like and transported to the field, and the rice husks are used to cover the stems of the long onions to an appropriate thickness using a shovel or the like. For this reason, it took a long time and a great deal of labor to transport the rice husks to the field and cover the stalks of the rice husks.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to facilitate and efficiently carry rice husks into fields and cover them.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, in this invention, an opening is provided at the bottom of a container having a freely rotating ground wheel, and a flexible length is inserted into the opening. A long circular tube is connected, and a long spiral spring that bends according to the circular tube is inserted from the proximal end of the circular tube to the opening at the distal end. The present invention proposes a rice husk coating device for cultivating vegetables such as green onions, which is connected to a drive unit provided in the container described above.

(Function) That is, in the above device, the rice husks are stored in a container and transported to the field, but since this container is provided with ground wheels, the rice husks can be easily transported to the field.

In addition, the rice husks fall freely into the circular tube through the opening provided at the bottom of the container, but in this design, a long flexible circular tube is connected to the opening at the bottom of the container, and the circular tube inside the circular tube is connected to the opening at the bottom of the container. A long spiral spring that bends accordingly is inserted from the proximal end of the circular tube to the opening at the tip, so the tip of the circular tube is directed toward the bottom of the stem of a long onion, etc.
When the springs are rotated in the axial direction by the drive unit, the rice husks move within the circular tube as the springs rotate, and a predetermined amount is reliably discharged from the opening at the tip of the circular tube, making it easier to cover the rice husks. can be done.

(Example) This invention will be explained below based on the illustrated example.

1 is a coating device showing an embodiment of this invention; 2
indicates a container of rice husks. The container 2 has a rectangular shape with a cone-shaped lower part, and has an open top and freely rotating ground wheels 3 on both sides.
...is provided.

On the other hand, 4 is a long flexible circular tube having an opening 4a at the center of the proximal end, an opening 4b at the tip, and a spiral spring 5 inside. 4
The base end of the spring 5 is inserted into the bottom of the container 2, and the end of the spring 5 is connected to a rotating shaft 7 of a prime mover 6 provided at the front end of the container 1.

In the above structure, rice husks a are filled into a container 1 and transported by hand into a green onion field. In the field, the operator rotates the prime mover 6 with the tip of the circular tube 4 directed below the stem of the green onion. When the rotating shaft 7 is rotated by the prime mover 6 as shown by the white arrow, the spring 5 inserted into the circular tube 4 also rotates accordingly, but in this case, the rice husk a filled in the container 1 is released through the opening 4a. It falls into the circular tube 4 under its own weight, and further moves within the circular tube 4 in the direction of the black arrow as the spring 5 rotates, and is discharged from the opening 4b at the tip. Therefore, the operator should point the tip of the circular tube 4 at the stem of the long onion, and
By adjusting the moving speed of the tip of the onion, the desired amount of rice husk can be coated on the desired position of the long onion stem.

Although this embodiment has been described with respect to long onions, other vegetables can be coated with rice husks in a similar manner.

(Effects of the invention) In summary, according to this invention, the lower part of the stem of long onion etc. can be covered with rice husk easily and in a short time.
