Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a roll baler that picks up cut down grass and threshed straw left on the ground while traveling, and compresses and packs it into a roll.

(Prior art) As a roll baler, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-38747 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-87246, etc.
A structure is known in which the rear side of a bale forming chamber for compressing and packing collected material into a roll is opened to release the bale rearward in a sideways state.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) When collection work is carried out using the roll baler, many bales that have been compressed and packed in the bale forming room are left lying on their sides and scattered at the collection site, and these scattered bales can be used in neighboring areas. It may interfere with collection work.

Therefore, the present invention attempts to set the release position and posture of the bale released rearward from the bale forming chamber so that it does not interfere with the collection operation.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention is configured as follows. That is, in a roll baler in which the bale forming chamber 5 for compressing and packing the collected material into a roll is opened rearward and the bale B packed in the bale forming chamber 5 is to be dropped and discharged, the rear lower part of the bale forming chamber 5 is opened. , guide tools 64 and 65 are provided to receive and guide the left and right lower side parts of the bale B to be released, respectively, and the guide tools 64 and 65
By changing the vertical height of one or both of the guide acting parts and fixing them, the release posture of the bale B can be changed.

(Operations and effects of the invention) The bale B discharged backward from the bale forming chamber 5 in a sideways state is guided by guide tools 64 provided on the left and right sides,
The bale B is released to the ground while being guided by the lower part 65.If one of the guide tools 64 and 65 is made high and the other is made low, the bale B will be released to the ground with the lower part being guided by the guide tool 65. The side 64 moves backward quickly and is ejected to the rear of the bale forming room 5 in an inclined state, and the bale B is left on the ground surface in an inclined state with the side that touched the ground first facing backward, which hinders the next collection operation. This means that it can be left in a position where it will not occur. At this time, if the difference in height between the guide acting parts of both guide tools 64 and 65 is increased, the bale forming chamber 5 can be
It is also possible for the bale B discharged from the bale to stand upright while falling while being received and guided by the guide tools 64 and 65, and to be left as is on the ground.
