Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fertilizer application apparatus in which a traveling machine body is equipped with a seedling planting apparatus, and a fertilizer applying apparatus having a plurality of fertilizer storage hoppers is arranged in the vicinity of the seedling planting apparatus. About attached rice transplanter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the above rice transplanter with a fertilizer application, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-145114, a fertilizer storage hopper in the fertilizer application is supported by a fixed rail so as to be slidably movable in the machine longitudinal direction. There was a composition.

[0003]

In the conventional structure described above, during the fertilizing operation, the storage hopper is positioned almost above the fertilization site so that the fertilizer can be guided down satisfactorily. When the fertilizer is newly replenished, the fertilizer can be fed in a state close to the ridge so that the fertilizer can be easily fed into the hopper from the fertilizer storage bag which is generally packed and difficult to carry. However,
In the above conventional structure, since the rail supporting the hopper is in a posture projecting to the rear of the machine body, there is a high possibility that it will come into contact with an external object during turning and traveling, and there is room for improvement. In addition, it is necessary to slide the long hopper integrally back and forth, and it is necessary to strengthen the support structure, and there is also a drawback that the weight becomes large and the work effort becomes large. The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned problems.

[0004]

A feature of the present invention is, in the rice transplanter with a fertilizer application described at the beginning, a bag for placing and supporting a fertilizer bag for storing supplemental fertilizer in the vicinity of the fertilizer storage hopper. The support member is supported so as to be slidably movable laterally along the support rail, and the bag support member is switched between a horizontal position for placing the bag and a storage position for swinging downward. The point is that it is provided freely.

[0005]

[Function] When replenishing the fertilizer storage hopper with fertilizer,
Set the bag loading operation position, place the fertilizer bag on the bag support member once and receive the weight of it, and move the bag support member laterally along the support rail to position it on the storage hopper. To supply fertilizer. If a bag receiving support is formed at the lower end of the bag supporting member in the retracted posture, a temporary weight is deposited on the receiving support when the fertilizer bag is placed on the bag supporting member. It is possible to switch to the working posture depending on the state, and it is not necessary to lift a fertilizer bag that is heavy and difficult to hold to a high position. Further, after the fertilizer replenishment is completed, the bag support member is switched to the retracted posture, so that there is no protrusion to the outside of the machine and it is less likely to come into contact with the outside as the machine travels.

[0006]

Therefore, when supplying the fertilizer, which is generally stored in a packed state, to the storage hopper of the fertilizer application, a large labor burden is required to supply the fertilizer with a bag-shaped storage device that is difficult to carry. There is no need to do any work, and refilling work can be done easily. In addition, the support member, which requires a relatively large area for mounting the fertilizer bag, is provided, but it does not hinder the traveling of the aircraft.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1
Shows the rear part of the rice transplanter with fertilizer application. This rice transplanter connects a seedling planting device 2 to a rear portion of a riding type traveling body via a link mechanism 1 so as to be able to move up and down, and also a seedling planting device 2
The fertilizer application device 3 is attached to the rear of the device.

The seedling planting device 2 comprises a seedling stand 5 which reciprocates laterally with a constant stroke with respect to the planting transmission case 4 which also serves as a frame. The planting mechanism 6 for planting on the ground, the grounding float 7 sliding on the mud surface, and the like are configured. The fertilizer application 3 is
The fertilizer is stored in the fertilizer storage hopper 8 arranged behind the seedling stand 5, and the fertilizer is fed by a predetermined amount according to the planting operation by the feeding mechanism 9 continuously provided below the fertilizer storage hopper 8. The fertilizer is configured to be dropped and supplied into the groove formed on the mud surface by the grooving device 11 via the downflow pipe 10 communicating with the lower side. Three fertilizer storage hoppers 8 are arranged in parallel on the left and right.

Then, a bag support member 12 for mounting and supporting a fertilizer bag for storing replenishment fertilizer for the fertilizer storage hopper 8 near the fertilizer application device 3 projects laterally outward of the seedling planting device 2. The support rails 13 are provided so as to be slidably movable in the lateral direction of the machine body, and the lateral outward projecting portions 13a of the support rails 13 are retractable inward. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of upper and lower support rails 13 is provided on the rear side of the fertilizer storage hopper 8 by a pillar 14 fixedly erected from the planted transmission case 4.
While supporting 13, the support rails 13 and 13 are extended so as to project laterally outward from the lateral end of the seedling planting device 2. The laterally outwardly projecting portions of the support rails 13 and 13 are configured to be freely switchable between a working posture in which they are linearly connected to the central fixed rail portion 13b and a storage posture in which they swing toward the inside of the machine. There is. That is, in the middle part, the shaft 15 is pivotally connected about the axis of the vertical axis so as to be swingable, and the pin 15 can be inserted and removed to switch between the working posture and the storage posture. The bag support member 12 is freely rotatable around a horizontal axis, and is engaged with the guide roller 1 slidably mounted above the upper support rail 13 so as to be slidably movable.
6, and a lateral slide portion 18 that supports a guide roller 17 that is freely rotatable around a longitudinal axis and that is slidably engaged with a lower support rail from the rear side. A bag placing table with a posture that can be switched between a placing posture in which the fertilizer storage hopper 8 projects horizontally toward the rear of the machine at substantially the same level as the upper opening of the fertilizer storage hopper 8 and a storage posture in which the fertilizer storage hopper 8 is swung downward and retracted to the fertilizer application side. It is configured with 19. That is, the bag mounting table 19 is provided with the bending link 2 that is provided between the swinging middle part and the lower side of the lateral slide part 18.
By locking 0 in a straight line state, the working posture is maintained [see FIG. 2], and by refracting the refraction link 20 in the middle, the retracted posture can be set [see FIG. 1]. Further, a receiving portion 21 which can receive and support the fertilizer bag in the storage posture is formed at the swinging end of the bag placing table 19, that is, the lower end in the storage posture. In addition, stoppers 22 are provided at both left and right ends of the guide rail 13 to prevent the lateral slide portion 18 from coming off. In such a configuration, when replenishing the fertilizer, the machine running in the field is laid next to the ridge, and the extended protruding portion 13a of the guide rail 13 is located near the ridge, and the bag is in the storage state. In the state where the fertilizer bag is placed on the receiving portion 21 of the placing table 19 and the weight is stored, the bag placing table 19 is switched to the working posture and slid along the support rail 13 to supply the fertilizer to the fertilizer storage hopper 8. .

It should be noted that reference numerals are added to the claims for facilitating the comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the accompanying drawings by the entry.
