are rods provided at both ends.

As shown in FIG. 4, a locking tool 26 is rotatably provided at the edge of the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 via a hinge portion 30. As shown in FIG. This locking tool 26 has a plurality of stages of engagement grooves 27 that engage with the stopper 23 . Further, a metal fitting 28 is attached to the side wall surface of the tank 4. This metal fitting 28 has a plurality of stages of engagement grooves 29 in which the rod 24 is rotatably engaged. When the chain 25 of the lift device 2 is rolled back and the container 1 is lowered into the mud dyeing treatment tank 4, the casters 14 land on the bottom of the tank 4, and when the chain 25 is further rolled back, the presser material 17 is lowered. The rod body 24 rotatably engages with the engagement groove 29. The rod 24 and the metal fitting 28 form a hinge portion when engaged, and serve as a fixing means for rotatably fixing the presser member 17 to the tank 4.

Once the rod body 24 has engaged with the engagement groove 29 in this way, the operator presses the presser member 17 with his or her foot to remove the presser member 17.

That is, these fasteners 23 and 27 also serve as fixing means for fixing the presser member 17 to the tank 4. Reference numeral 31 denotes a guide rod serving as a guide means installed upright on the wall of the tank 4, and the container 1 is raised and lowered along this guide bar.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, reference numeral 32 denotes a mud water tank formed on the side of the mud dyeing treatment tank 4. Muddy water is made by mixing fine soil with water. 33 is a pump device, which has both tanks 4,
Two pipes 34.35 spanning 32 and each pipe 3
The pumps 36 and 37 attached to the lower end of the pump 4.35 are connected to each other, and when one of the pumps 36 is driven, the mud water tank 32
The muddy water flows into the muddying treatment tank 4, and the other pump 37
When driven, the muddy water in the muddying treatment tank 4 is returned to the muddy water tank 32.

This mud dyeing treatment apparatus has the above-mentioned configuration, and the mud dyeing operation will be explained next.

Grass to be harvested in the field is tied into bundles as large as one arm, and is stored upright in the container 1 while leaning against the horizontal members 16. In this case, the presser member 17 is removed since it will interfere with the storage operation. Once the grass A is stored in the container 1 in this way, the container 1 is transported to a mud dyeing treatment facility by truck.

Next, at the facility, the presser material 17 is attached to the container l by the chino 18, the hook 22 is hooked to the wire 21, the lift device 2 is operated to lift the container 1, and the container 1 is moved directly above the mud dyeing treatment tank 4. let At this time, the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is empty and the muddy water is in the mud water tank 32.
is stored in.

Next, the chain 25 is rewound, the container 1 is stored in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4, the presser material 17 is covered as described above, and the presser material 17 is secured to the tank using the fixing means 23, 24, 26, 28. 4 to prevent the rushes from floating up due to buoyancy. Next, the pump 36 is driven to cause the muddy water in the muddy water tank 32 to flow into the muddying treatment tank 4, and the grass A to be stored in the container 1 is immersed in the muddy water for several tens of seconds.

Next, the pump 37 is driven to return the muddy water in the muddying treatment tank 4 to the muddy water tank 32. Next, after releasing the fixing means 23 to 28, the container 25 is rolled up, and the container 1 is lifted and taken out from the mud dyeing treatment tank 4. Next, the container 1 is landed on the floor, the presser member 17 is removed, and the container 1 is moved to the next drying step while being moved around the floor using the casters 14. By arranging a large number of containers 1 in parallel, the side wall 12 becomes the side wall of the drying chamber, and a drying chamber can be constructed.The lower part of the stand 11 is equipped with hot air heated by a heating furnace (not shown). The rushes on the platform 11 can be dried by blowing them up from the perforated plate 9. Note that the casters 14 may not be provided, and in that case, the container 1 may be transported by a forklift or the like.

By the way, the inside of rush is spongy, so when container 1 full of grass A is immersed in muddy water, rush A
floats to the surface due to buoyancy, making it impossible to reliably immerse it in muddy water. Therefore, this means prevents the rush A from floating by providing a holding material 17 and fixing this holding material I7 to the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 by means of fixing means 23 to 28. In this case, when the container 1 is lowered into the muddy water after storing muddy water in the muddying treatment tank 4, due to the buoyancy of the rushes A,
Container 1 cannot be lowered. Therefore, when the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is empty, the container l is lowered into the tank 4 and stored, and the presser material 17 is fixed to the tank 4 by the fixing means 23 to 28.
After fixing the muddy water to the fi 4, the muddy water from the muddy tank 32 is poured into the fi 4, and when the mud dyeing process is completed, the muddy water in the tank 4 is returned to the muddy tank 32 to empty the tank 4, and the buoyancy After the presser material 17 is secured to the fixing means 23 to 28,
I am trying to remove it from.

Furthermore, if the holding member 17 is lowered in a horizontal state to cover the container 1, the upper end portion of the rush A protruding above the container 1 will break. Therefore, in this method, as particularly shown in FIG. 4, the rush A is stored upright in the container 1 with the rush A leaning against the horizontal member 16 on the left side and being slightly inclined.

The holding member 17 is suspended from the lift device 2 in the same direction as the inclination direction of the upper end of the rush A, that is, in the upward left direction as shown in the figure. When the presser foot 17 is lowered in this position, the rod body 24 engages with the engagement groove 29 of the metal fitting 28 (see the broken line in the figure), and when the cenograph 25 is further unwound, the presser foot ■7 is moved to the fixing means 24. 28 in the N direction, and move the upper end of the rush A protruding upward from the side wall 12 to the cross member 1.
Press down so that it lies on the 6th side and close the lid. If the presser material 17 is closed in this manner, the upper end of the rush A will not break and the lid can be closed reliably.

In addition, the length of the rush A has lengths and shorts, so in this means, engagement grooves 27 and 29 are formed in the locking tool 26 and the metal fitting 28 as a retaining means as a plurality of stages of retaining portions, and the rush The closing height of the pressing member 17 can be adjusted depending on the length of the holding member 17. Furthermore, since the muddy water is taken in and out of the muddying treatment tank 4 and the muddy water tank 32 by the pump device 33, the muddy water is agitated as it is taken in and taken out by the pump device 33, and therefore, the muddy water is mixed. There is no need to provide a special stirring means for preventing sedimentation of the soil particles, and the pump device 33 can also serve as the stirring means.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various design modifications are possible.For example, the presser material may be rotatably attached to the mud dyeing treatment tank by a hinge portion; By doing so, the mud dyeing treatment tank can be covered with the holding plate when not in use, and the holding plate can also serve as a cover material for the nuclide. Furthermore, by detachably attaching the casters 14 and the skirt part 13 to the base part 11, the casters 14 and the skirt part 13 can be removed from the base part 11 when transporting the container 1 in a trunk or when immersing it in a mud dyeing tank. It may be made to be removable.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention uses a batch method in which rush A is loaded into a container 1 for processing, so workability is extremely good and a large amount of rush A can be mud-dyed in a short time. In addition, only one worker is required, and the worker only needs to operate the lift device 2 and open and close the presser foot 17, so the work is extremely light and the worker is less likely to get dirty with muddy water. Furthermore, since the pump device 33 can also serve as a stirring means for muddy water, there are various effects such as there being no need to provide a special stirring means.
