Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] Tulips grow large bulbs, so at a certain time after flowering, the flowers are cut off to stop the bulbs from growing.

The present invention relates to a self-propelled tulip flower cutting machine that cuts and collects several tulip flowers grown at regular intervals on a ridge at the same time.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, workers used scissors to separate each tulip flower.
It was inefficient work because it was a method of picking individual pieces.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] This invention solves the above drawbacks by moving at low speed between the ridges and picking up several tulip flowers that cover the ridges at once. It is a technical problem to provide a self-propelled tulip flower cutting machine that can efficiently pick and carry tulips.

[Means to solve the problem]

The gist of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A traveling body e is formed with support legs 1 and 2 hanging down, a power cutting device a is provided on the traveling body e, and a tulip flower 9 cut by the power cutting device a is placed behind the power cutting device a. A flower collecting box b for introducing and collecting flowers is provided, a ventilation hole is provided in the ceiling or rear part of the flower collecting box b, and a main air pipe 13 is arranged in front of the upper part of the power cutting device a almost parallel to the power cutting device a. A self-propelled tulip flower cutting machine characterized in that the main air pipe 13 is provided with a blower device c in which a large number of air pipes 14 are arranged in parallel to blow air toward the introduction opening 20 side of the flower collection box b. This is related to.

[Effect]

As shown in Fig. 4, when the machine is driven at low speed on the ridge 8, the tulip flowers 9 grown at regular intervals on the ridge 8 are cut off by the power cutting device a. . The flowers 9 are moved to the introduction opening 20 of the flower collection box b by the air blown from the air pipe 14 of the air blower c.
Since the flower 9 is tilted to the side, the flower 9 can be cut well.
The flowers are fed evenly into the rear flower collection box b without clumping in one place.

Since a ventilation hole is provided in the ceiling or rear part of the flower collection box b, the air from the air pipe 14 is exhausted from the ventilation hole, and the tulip flowers 9 fly up inside the flower collection box b. The flower 9 will not wobble and will not be damaged.

By continuing this operation, the tulip flowers 9 on the ridges 8 are successively cut and collected row by row.

〔Example〕

The support legs 1 and 2 are shown in a case where the height can be adjusted according to the height of the ridge 8, and 10 is an adjustment rod and 19 is an adjustment fitting.

The operating handle 7 is provided on the upper part of both support legs 1 and 2 so that two people can work together. The operating handle 7 on the idler wheel 5 side is provided with an operating section d of the drive device 4.

A cutter bar 11 (11 a
11b is a fixed blade, and 11b is a sliding blade). At the same time, a blower c is provided which sends the flowers 9 into the flower collection box b.

This blower c is a power cutting device a that connects the blower pipe 13 of the blower 12 driven by the drive device 4.
The tulip flowers 9 are disposed in parallel in front of the air pipes 13, and the air pipes 14 are directed diagonally downward at regular intervals of the air pipes 13, and the cut tulip flowers 9 are sent into the flower collection box b by the air blowing from the air pipes 14. It is set in a predetermined position.

There is no problem if the tulip flower 9 extends straight to the stem, but if the flower 9 is tilted toward the front of the power cutting device a, the flower 9 will be cut by the power cutting device a. However, in the case of the device according to the embodiment, the flower 9 is forcibly tilted toward the rear of the power cutting device a with respect to the stem by the air pipe 14. Therefore, such a problem cannot occur.

The flower collection box b is a rectangular box with a board 15 attached to the bottom and a net 16 (the net serves as a ventilation hole) attached to the top.
A case is shown in which an opening/closing mesh door 17 (on which a net is stretched) is provided at the rear, and the flower 9 is taken out by opening this opening/closing mesh door 17. In addition, instead of using the opening/closing mesh door 17, collection bags may be provided in series and the collection can be collected in the collection bags, or discharge gutters may be provided in series on both sides of the box and the ridges 8
It may also be possible to discharge the fuel while driving.

Further, it is preferable that the width of the connecting member 3 can be adjusted according to the width of the eight ridges.

In the figure, 18 is a guide wheel, and 6 is a drive wheel driven by the drive device 4.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, this machine can be
As it moves upward, the ridge 8 is cut by the power cutting device a.
This operation involves cutting off several tulip flowers 9 that are grown at regular intervals across the width, one row at a time, and collecting the cut flowers 9 into the flower collection box b. By continuing, that is, moving the flowers 9 on the ridges 8, the flowers 9 on the ridges 8 can be easily and efficiently harvested and collected.

In this case, since this machine is self-propelled, the work can be done easily.

Moreover, since wind is blown onto the flowers 9 from the air pipe 14 of the air blower c and the flowers 9 are tilted toward the side of the power-operated cutting device a before being harvested, reaping can be performed reliably. And this cut flower 9 is the blow pipe 1
The flowers 9 are sent into the flower collecting box b by the air blown in step 4, and are surely collected, so that the flowers 9 do not fall onto the ridges 8.

Further, since a ventilation hole is provided in the ceiling or rear part of the flower collection box b, the air from the air pipe 14 is exhausted to the outside through the ventilation hole.
The tulip flowers 9 will not fly up and fall in the flower collection box b and will not damage the flowers 9.

Furthermore, since the blower device c of the present application has a structure in which the blower pipes 14 are arranged in parallel, the cut flowers 9 are sent to the flower collection box b in an even state without clumping together in one place. become.

In this way, the present invention cuts several tulip flowers 9 on the ridge 8 at a time with the power cutting device a by running the machine at low speed on the ridge 8, and then cuts the cut flowers 9 into flowers. Since the flowers are collected using the collection box b, this method has excellent practical effects such as greatly improving work efficiency compared to the conventional method of harvesting flowers one by one by hand. .
