Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a strawberry harvesting vehicle that is used to harvest strawberries while moving along the strawberry ridges, and transport the strawberries in harvest boxes. It is something.

``Conventional technology'' Manually harvesting strawberries from a strawberry field involves bending over while supporting the harvest box, which puts a lot of strain on the lower back and poses health problems. If you tilt it, the strawberries will roll and get damaged. Therefore, a strawberry harvesting vehicle has been developed to solve this problem.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, this known strawberry harvesting vehicle consists of a frame 11 with wheels that moves across the strawberry ridges 8, and the upper end of the frame 11 is flattened and placed on the harvest box mounting portion 3. The harvest box placement part 3
A harvesting box 9 is placed on the strawberry ridge 8, and the picked strawberries are put into the harvesting box 9 while moving along the strawberry ridges 8 for work.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' The conventional strawberry harvesting vehicle described above has a structure in which each picked strawberry is placed in the harvesting box 9 of the harvesting box mounting part 3 on the top surface of the frame 11, so that the strawberries to be picked and harvested are Since the height distance from the box mounting part 3 becomes long, manual harvesting becomes inefficient and easy to get tired.Furthermore, the ground between the furrows where the wheels move is uneven and there is a lot of vibration due to movement, so the harvesting box If the strawberries inside the container are not full, the vibrations may cause them to roll and damage them.

The present invention provides a strawberry harvesting vehicle that overcomes the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional techniques.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The strawberry harvesting vehicle of this invention that solves the above technical problems consists of a main body frame that has front wheels and rear wheels on the left and right sides, respectively, and can move forward and backward astride the strawberry ridges. ,
A through-space that "penetrates from front to back and opens downward" is provided in the central part of the main body frame, and the upper central surface of the main body frame is formed into a flat harvesting box mounting part. The left and right sides of the body frame are provided with anti-slip stoppers on both sides of the body frame, which slope downwardly toward the front and rear of the body frame with the center portion of the body frame as the apex, and whose lower ends protrude from the body frame. It has a structure with a harvest box placement section for picking.

``Function'' The strawberry harvesting vehicle of the present invention with the above configuration is capable of moving back and forth with the main body frame spanning the strawberry ridges and inserting the strawberry ridges into the central through-hole. Strawberries can be harvested by tilting the picking harvest box on the downward-sloping "picking harvest box mounting section", so the height-related distance between the strawberry ridge and the picking harvest box and the straight line The distance is much shorter than that of the conventional structure described above, making it easier to perform back and forth manual work during strawberry harvesting, improving work efficiency.

Since the harvest box for picking is held at an angle, the strawberries in the box do not roll even if there is vibration due to the movement of the vehicle body, and damage to the strawberries is prevented.

"Example" Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given based on an example. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing an embodiment of the present invention, the strawberry harvesting vehicle of the present invention includes a main body frame 1 with wheels that straddles a strawberry ridge 8 and moves along the strawberry ridge 8. The middle part of the main body frame 1 is formed into a "through space 2 that penetrates in the front-rear direction (the forward and backward direction of the wheels) and is open at the bottom", and the central part of the main body frame 1 above the ceiling of the through space 2 is It is formed into a flat harvesting box mounting part 3 having a required space.

On both sides of the main body frame 1 on the left and right sides of the harvest box placing section 3, there is a "harvesting box placing section for picking" that slopes downward toward the front and back of the main body frame 1 with the central part of the main body frame 1 as the apex. 5A5B, the lower end 10 of which protrudes from the main body frame 1. A front wheel 4A and a rear wheel 4B are attached to the lower ends of the left and right sides of the main body frame 1, and are movable forward and backward. The section 6 is fixed horizontally. A stopper 7 for preventing the harvest boxes placed thereon from slipping is provided at the lower end 10 of the picking harvest box mounting section 5A5B.

As shown in Fig. 2, the strawberry harvesting vehicle having the above structure is mounted so as to straddle the strawberry ridges 8 so as to insert the strawberry ridges 8 into the through space 2 of the main body frame 1, and to form a "harvest box mounting section for picking". 5A5B, place the harvesting box 9A for storing the picked strawberries, stack nine groups of spare harvesting boxes on the harvesting box placement part 3, and hold the grip part 6 to support your body or use it in your car. As a push-pull grip, it sequentially moves forward and backward along the strawberry ridges 8 to pick strawberries, and then puts the picked strawberries into the harvest box 9A on the "harvest box mounting section for picking" 5A5B to harvest the strawberries. .

When the harvesting box 9A is full, the full harvesting box 9A is transferred to the harvesting box mounting section 3, and the empty harvesting box 9 is taken out from the harvesting box mounting section 3 and "for picking". The strawberry harvest is continued by placing the harvest box on the "harvest box mounting section" 5A5B.

The strawberry harvesting vehicle of the above embodiment has the above-mentioned effects, improves the work efficiency of strawberry harvesting, and prevents the strawberries from rolling inside the box, thereby preventing damage to the strawberries.

Since the worker can hold the grip part 6 and support his/her body while working, the burden on the lower back during work is reduced, and the "harvest box placement part for picking"
Since the 5A5B has a set of forward and backward slopes, it has the advantage of allowing two or four workers to harvest strawberries with high efficiency.

Note that in the above configuration of the present invention, the grip portion 6
does not necessarily need to be specially provided as in the above embodiment, but may be a part of the main body frame 1 or the harvest box mounting part 3.
It can be replaced by the edge of

Although not shown, if a height adjustment mechanism for the main body frame 1 and a wheel left and right span adjustment mechanism are provided,
It is even more convenient because it can be used for strawberry ridges of all sizes.

"Effects of the invention" As explained above, the strawberry harvesting vehicle of the invention improves and improves the workability and efficiency of strawberry harvesting, and also has the effect of preventing damage during strawberry harvesting and improving quality. .
