Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lawn stripping machine, and more particularly to a lawn stripping machine for obtaining a lawn sheet bundle composed of a plurality of lawn sheets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Grass sheets are used to replace or newly attach grass on golf courses and parks. The turf sheet is peeled off from the turf growing area in a predetermined area and transported to the destination. In the turf growing area, the turf is first peeled off with a tractor equipped with a turf stripping mechanism to obtain a turf sheet.
Some of such turf sheets are vertically long, and some are quadrangular. A turf sheet that is vertically long is transported in a rolled state, but a plurality of rectangular turf sheets are bundled and transported.

[0003]

In the above conventional structure, when binding the turf sheets formed in a rectangular shape,
The worker has to collect and bind the grass sheets left on the grass growing area. That is, the lawn stripping work and the bundling work are performed separately, and the overall work efficiency is poor. An object of the present invention is to efficiently obtain a bundle of bundled grass sheets.

[0004]

A lawn stripping machine according to the present invention comprises a lawn stripping section, a binding section, and a traveling section. The lawn stripping section is for obtaining a lawn sheet by peeling the lawn from the lawn growing area. The binding unit binds the grass sheets into a plurality of bundles. The traveling section is equipped with a lawn stripping section and a binding section.

[0005]

In the lawn stripping machine according to the present invention, the lawn stripping section strips the lawn to obtain a lawn sheet while the traveling section travels the lawn growing area, and the binding section binds the striped grass sheet. In this way, since the grass stripping work and the bundling work are continuously performed while traveling on the grass growing place, the work efficiency is high for obtaining the grass sheet bundle.

[0006]

1 and 2 show a lawnmower according to the present invention. The lawn peeling machine 1 is an agricultural vehicle having a general traveling function. Front box 1 provided at the front
A part of the traveling mechanism, the lawn stripping section 3 (described later), and the like are arranged in a. On the right side of the front box 1, the handle,
A driving unit 2 including a gear shift lever, various switches, an accelerator, a brake and a seat is provided.

The lawn stripping portion 3 provided in the left portion of the front box 1a will be described with reference to FIG. The lawn stripping section 3 is mainly composed of a lawn sheet cutter 4 and two rocking plates 7. As shown in FIG. 4, the turf sheet cutter 4 is composed of two side blades 5 and a root cutting blade 6 that connects the two side blades 5. The front portion of the side blade 5 is a blade surface. The distance between the two side blades 5,
The width of the turf sheet to be peeled off. Root cutting blade 6
Are fixed to the side blades 5 by welding. The front portion of the root cutting blade 6 is a blade surface formed between the side blades 5. The rear part of the root cutting blade 6 is inclined upward as it goes rearward.

The position of the turf sheet cutter 4 is adjusted by the cylinder 10 so that the root cutting blade 6 strips the turf sheet to a predetermined thickness when performing the turf stripping operation. In addition, FIG.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, all the tips of the grass sheet cutter 4 during the grass stripping work project forward from the box 1a. The rear portion of the side blade 5 of the turf sheet cutter 4 is fixed to the lower portion of the swing plate 7. A shaft 7a connecting the upper portions of the two rocking plates 7 is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) provided on a side plate (not shown) of the front box 1a. Further, the shaft 7a can be vertically driven by the cylinder 10 via a bearing.

One end of a link 8 is rotatably connected to the lower portion of the rocking plate 7. The other end of the link 8 is rotatably connected to a drive shaft 9 connected to a drive unit (not shown). Here, the connecting portion at the other end of the link 8 is eccentric from the rotation center of the drive shaft 9. As a result, when the drive shaft 9 rotates, the shaft 8 moves back and forth, and as a result, the turf sheet cutter 4 and the swing plate 7 swing back and forth. The shaft 7a of the oscillating plate 7 is connected to the rod of the cylinder 10 via a bearing, and when the rod of the cylinder 10 is extended upward by this, the oscillating plate 7 and the sheet cutter 4 are moved to the position shown in FIG.
It will be in a state of being lifted upward as shown in.

A front end of the belt conveyor 11 is arranged behind the turf sheet cutter 4. Belt conveyor 1
As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 has a rear end portion arranged at the upper side, and the whole is inclined. A drive shaft provided at the front end of the belt conveyor 11 is connected to a drive mechanism (not shown), and the grass sheet peeled by the grass sheet cutter 4 is conveyed to the rear portion of the grass stripping machine 1.

A workbench 12 is arranged at the rear of the lawn peeling machine 1. The workbench 12 is used for stacking a plurality of grass sheets conveyed from the belt conveyor 11. Automatic binding machine 13 adjacent to workbench 12
Are arranged. The automatic binding machine 13 is capable of automatically binding the sheets by placing a plurality of stacked grass sheets and performing a predetermined operation.

Next, the operation will be described. As a preparatory operation when the lawn stripping machine 1 is used, cuts C (FIG. 1) which are formed in advance in one direction at predetermined intervals are provided in the lawn growing area. The cut C is formed, for example, by mounting a plurality of blades on the rear part of the tractor and running the tractor. Next, two workers A and B get on the lawn peeling machine 1. The first worker A sits in the seat of the driving unit 2 and runs the automatic stripping machine 1 and operates the lawn stripping unit 3 and the like. The second worker B stands in front of the workbench 12 in order to stack the grass sheets sent from the grass stripping section 3 by the belt conveyor 11 and bind them by the automatic binding machine 13.

The lawn peeling machine 1 runs in a direction orthogonal to the cut C. During traveling, the vertical position of the turf sheet cutter 4 is changed by the cylinder 10, and the height of the turf sheet cutter 4 is set so that a turf sheet having an appropriate thickness can be obtained. Further, as the drive shaft 9 rotates, the turf sheet cutter 4 is swung back and forth via the link 8 and the swing plate 7. As a result, the root cutting blade 6 of the grass sheet cutter 4 effectively cuts the root of the grass. Then, the side blades 5 cut the grass in the traveling direction to cut out one grass sheet. The cut grass sheet moves relatively rearward on the root cutting blade 6 and rides on the belt conveyor 11.

The turf sheet on the belt conveyor 11 is conveyed to the workbench 12 side. On the workbench 12, the second worker B stacks a plurality of turf sheets and stacks them on the automatic binding machine 1
Place the set on 3. After binding by the automatic binding machine 13, the bundle of turf sheets is thrown backward. As described above, in the present embodiment, the lawn stripping section 3 and the automatic binding machine 13 are mounted on one vehicle, and the stripping operation of the lawn sheet and the binding operation thereof can be efficiently performed.

The turf sheet cutter 4 is pulled upward by the cylinder 10 when traveling on a general road or when it is not necessary to perform turf peeling work. When the rod of the cylinder 10 projects upward from the state of FIG. 4, the swing plate 7 and the grass sheet cutter 4 are pulled up. At this time, the link 8 rotates around the drive shaft 9 side connecting portion, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the leading end of the turf sheet cutter 4 is housed in the front box 1. As a result, the turf sheet cutter 4 is stored when traveling on a general road.
It is possible to prevent contact between the grass sheet cutter 4 and an external object.

[0016]

In the lawn stripping machine according to the present invention, both the lawn stripping section and the binding section are mounted on the traveling section, so that the lawn stripping work and the binding work can be efficiently performed.
