Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a transporting / sprinkling device for a house for raising nursery boxes, flowering trees for gardening, and the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, after the seedling box is housed in a greenhouse and the seedlings are raised, rice is planted. First, seeds are planted in the ground of the seedling cage, then the seedling box is transported to the greenhouse and placed on a shelf. After sprinkling water, after the seedlings grew to a predetermined height, the nursery box was carried out and planted using a rice planting machine or the like.

By the way, since the carrying-in and carrying-out work to and from the house is carried out while holding the nursery box, there is a problem that the work efficiency becomes low. Further, in sprinkling work, since the hose is used to sprinkle water, not only the work efficiency is low, but also the sprinkling state cannot be made uniform, and there is a risk of variations in growth.

Therefore, there has been proposed an agricultural transporting device as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-5709, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 47-5945, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-7173. These transportation devices have a structure in which a carriage with wheels is placed on a rail. Also, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-7740, a truck with an overhanging sprinkler pipe is supported on a rail via wheels, and the wheels are driven by a power source to automatically drive the truck. A sprinkler for traveling on the road has also been proposed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, the required structure is different between the trolley used for transporting the nursery boxes and the trolley used for watering, and the work of carrying in and out the nursery boxes at different work paces depends on the operator. It is rather better to manually move the transportation trolley that is used for such purposes as and to be stopped appropriately at any position, whereas the water sprinkling trolley can be used for uniform watering and labor reduction. Therefore, it is better to drive automatically. Considering these things and the space in the house for growing nursery boxes, garden flowers, etc. is limited, the carriage and sprinkler carriages should be installed separately, and only rails should be used for both carriages. It is possible to combine the functions. In that case, the carriage and the sprinkler carriage are attached to and detached from the rails. Therefore, it is easy to attach and detach, and nevertheless, it is possible to run stably without fear of derailment. It becomes an issue. In particular, in a sprinkler truck in which a sprinkling pipe is horizontally extended for uniform sprinkling, prevention of wheel separation from a rail is an important issue.

Also, especially in the sprinkler used in a narrow house,
It is also an issue to ensure that the water sprinkling pipe does not get in the way when it is housed or when it is taken in and out of the house.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem,
In the transportation and sprinkler system of the house that stores seedlings, gardening flowers, etc., when the transporting truck and the sprinkling truck are selectively installed on the common rail, especially the sprinkling truck can be easily attached to and detached from the rail. And stable support, also,
The purpose is to make it possible to prevent the watering pipe provided for uniform watering from getting in the way when it is stored.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A transporting / sprinkling device for a house according to the present invention comprises a pair of rails laid parallel to the house, and a transporting truck and a sprinkling truck selectively provided on these rails. The rail has a mountain-shaped cross section and has actuating pieces near both ends, and the carriage is a frame, and a plurality of wheels provided below the frame and rolling on the rail. The watering cart is provided with a handle erected on the frame body, and the watering cart is provided with a frame body and a rotation center line which is provided below the frame body and is orthogonal to the normals of both slopes of the rail. A plurality of pairs of wheels that respectively roll over, a motor that rotationally drives the drive wheels of these wheels, a traveling direction switching means that switches the rotation direction of the drive wheels when contacting the operating piece of the rail, and the frame body Installed on the rail from the horizontal And a water sprinkling pipe that is bendable between a position overhanging the rail and a position along a plane through which the rail passes.

[Operation] In the house transporting / sprinkling device of the present invention, when a nursery box or the like is put in or taken out, a carriage is provided on a pair of rails laid in the house. Then, by gripping the handle that is erected on the frame of the transport carriage and rolling the wheels provided below the frame on the rails, the transport trucks can be run along the rails for transport. The nursery box placed on the frame of the trolley is transferred to a shelf in the house, or the nursery box on this shelf is placed on the frame. On the other hand, at the time of water sprinkling, a water sprinkling truck is provided on the rail, and a water sprinkling pipe foldably provided on the frame body is horizontally extended from the rail. Then, the motor rotates the driving wheels of the wheels rolling on the rails, whereby the watering truck automatically travels along the rails, and water is sprinkled from the watering pipes to the nursery boxes. At this time, when the traveling direction switching means of the water sprinkler comes into contact with the operating piece near one end or the other end of the rail, the rotation direction of the drive wheels is switched and the traveling direction of the water sprinkler vehicle is reversed. In this way, the watering truck will automatically reciprocate along the rail. By the way, the parallel rails have a mountain-shaped cross section, but in the watering cart, a plurality of pairs of wheels whose center of rotation is perpendicular to the normals of both slopes of the rail roll on both slopes of the rail. . As a result, the sprinkling bogie does not derail and runs on the rail with good stability, although the sprinkling pipe is overhanging and the stability is originally poor. Also, when the watering cart is placed on the rail, these wheels are smoothly guided on the rail due to the cross-sectional shape of the rail and the structure of the wheels. Further, when the watering truck is accommodated, the watering pipe may be bent and positioned along a plane through which the rail passes.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a house in which a vinyl neat 3 is provided on a column 2, and a pair of left and right rails 4 are laid in parallel at the center of the house 1. The rail 4 has a mountain-shaped cross section, and a connecting rod 5 is provided between the rails 4 and fixed to a predetermined width. 6 is a carrier truck for transporting the nursery box A and the like, and the carrier truck 6 has wheels 9 axially mounted below the four corners of the frame body 7 via mounting seats 8 and on one side of the frame body 7. The handle 10 is erected. The wheel 9 is constructed so that the rotation center lines X intersect so as to roll on both slopes 4A of the rail 4. The rotation center line X is orthogonal to the normal line of the slope 4A of the rail 4.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a self-propelled sprinkler truck having a sprinkler pipe 12 installed horizontally, and a pair of wheels 14 whose rotation center lines Y intersect below the four corners of the frame 13 are pivotally mounted via mounting seats 15, respectively. . The rotation center line Y of each of these pairs of wheels 14 is orthogonal to the normal line of the slope 4A of the rail 4, and the wheels 14 roll on these slopes 4A, respectively. Further, water spray holes 16 are formed at predetermined intervals in a water spray pipe 12 fixed to the upper portion of the frame body 13 orthogonally to the rails 4. Also, the sprinkler pipe 12 has a bent portion near its center.
12A is formed and the water sprinkling pipe 12 is provided so as to be bendable in the rail 4 direction. Thus, the sprinkler pipe 12 is connected to the rail 4
It is freely bendable between a position projecting from it and a position along a plane through which the rail 4 passes. Also, the drive wheel on the one side
14A is made of rubber, and a drive device for self-propelling is provided on this drive wheel 14A. This drive device is composed of a motor 18 with a speed reducer mounted on a watering truck 11, and a transmission device 19 such as a chain sprocket and a gear group for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 18 to the drive wheels 14A. Further, the sprinkling carriage 11 has a switch (traveling direction switching means) 20 for switching the traveling direction, and actuating pieces 21, 21A which are brought into contact with the switching switch 20 are fixed near both ends of the rail 4, respectively. When the changeover switch 20 comes into contact with the operating pieces 21, 21A, the rotation direction of the drive wheel 14A is changed over.

Next, when the seedling-growing box A is carried into the house 1, the carrying cart 6 is placed on the rails 4 and the seedling-growing box A is placed on the frame 7 of the carrying cart 6 when carrying the seedling box A into the house 1. , Holding the handle 10 and carrying cart 6
Press to move the carriage 6 along the rail 4 to carry it to a predetermined position, transfer it to the shelf 22, and carry the nursery box A in order.

After carrying the nursery box A in this way, if watering is required,
Place the sprinkler truck 11 on the rail 4, connect the water supply hose 23 to the sprinkler pipe 12, and connect the electric cord (not shown) to the motor 18 to close the switch 18A. Water W is sprinkled from 16 onto the nursery box A, and at the same time, the motor 18 is started and the drive wheels 14A rotate to travel on the rail 4 in one direction. When the watering truck 11 moves to one end of the rail 4, the changeover switch 20 moves the operating piece 21 on one side.
Then, the rotation direction of the drive wheels 14A is switched by a control circuit (not shown). Therefore, the sprinkler carriage 11 located at one end of the rail 4 travels while sprinkling water in the opposite direction. When the watering truck 11 travels to the other end, the operating piece on the other side
The changeover switch 20 is brought into contact with the 21A and is changed over, and the watering truck 11 travels in the opposite direction while watering. In this way, the watering truck 11 automatically travels back and forth along the rail 4.

In this way, when sprinkling water, the sprinkling pipe 12 is extended from the rail 4, but when the sprinkling is stopped and the sprinkler truck 11 is accommodated, the sprinkling pipe 12 is bent.
As shown by the chain double-dashed line, it is folded in parallel with the rail 4 and accommodated. Thereby, the water sprinkling pipe 12 does not get in the way when the water sprinkling carriage 11 is taken in and out of the house 1 during accommodation.

Further, when taking out the seedling raising box A, the transporting carriage 6 is placed on the rail 4 instead of the sprinkling carriage 11 and the seedling raising box A is placed on the transporting carriage 11 and carried out.

As described above, while laying the rail 4 on the house 1,
A carriage 6 that can be selectively placed on the rail 4 to run.
By providing the watering truck 11 and the watering truck 11, the watering action of the nursery box A can be simplified as well as the work of carrying in and out the nursery box A. In addition, the carriage 4 and the sprinkler truck 11 are used for the rail 4
By sharing, the equipment cost can be reduced and
Does not take up space in the small house 1. Since the carrier truck 6 that is used for carrying in and carrying out the nursery box A having a different work pace depending on the worker and that needs to be appropriately stopped at an arbitrary position is manually driven,
The structure is not complicated more than necessary, and the cost can be reduced. on the other hand,
In the sprinkling bogie 11, since the sprinkling pipes 12 having the sprinkling holes 16 formed at predetermined intervals face each other in parallel to the seedling raising box A and automatically run, the sprinkling can be performed uniformly and efficiently, and the sprinkling can be performed. No effort is required. That is, the drive wheels 14A rotatably driven by the motor 18 and the transmission device 19 are axially attached to the sprinkler truck 11, and the sprinkler truck 11 is provided with a changeover switch 20 so that the operating pieces 21, 2 are provided at both ends of the rail 4.
1A is provided to enable self-propelled automatic switching and unmanned watering.

Further, the rail 4 has a mountain-shaped cross section, and the carriages 6 and 11 have a plurality of pairs of wheels 9, 14, 14A in which the normal line of the slope 4A of the rail 4 having a mountain-shaped cross section and the rotation center lines X, Y are orthogonal to each other. Since it is provided, it is possible to reliably prevent the rail 4 from being detached.
In particular, the sprinkling truck 11 is originally poor in stability because the sprinkling pipe 12 is overhanging, but due to the structure of the rail 4 and the wheels 14 and 14A as described above, there is no derailment and stability is high. Can run on rails 4. In addition to that, the wheels 9 and 1 of the sprinkler truck 11 that have a particularly long mileage
Wear of 4,14A can be prevented. Nevertheless, the carriages 6 and 11 can be easily attached to and detached from the rail 4. That is, when the trucks 6, 11 are placed on the rail 4, the wheels 9, 14, 14A thereof are smoothly guided on the inclined surface 4A of the rail 4, and when the trucks 6, 11 are removed from the rail 4, the trucks 6, 14, 14A are also guided. Simply lift 6 and 11.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment, and various modifications such as handling flowering trees for gardening such as potting are possible.

[Advantage of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the transporting truck and the sprinkling truck are selectively provided on the rails laid in the house, not only the carrying-in and carrying-out work of the nursery boxes, garden flowers, etc. but also the sprinkling action. In addition to being easy to carry out, equipment can be reduced and space is not taken up in a small house due to the shared use of rails for the transporting truck and the sprinkling truck. In addition, since the carrier truck that is used for carrying in and carrying out work of raising seedling boxes with different work paces depending on the worker and that needs to be stopped appropriately at an arbitrary position shall be run manually, The structure is not complicated and can be made inexpensive, while the watering truck
Since the sprinkling pipes project horizontally and automatically run, water can be sprinkled uniformly and efficiently, and no labor is required. In addition, the cross section of the rail has a chevron shape, and the sprinkler truck is provided with a plurality of pairs of wheels whose center of rotation is orthogonal to the normals of both slopes of the rail and rolls on these slopes. It is possible to prevent the derailment against the original poor stability, and also to prevent the wheels of the sprinkler truck, which has a long mileage, from being worn. Nevertheless, it is easy to attach and detach the sprinkler truck to the rail. is there. Further, since the water sprinkling pipe of the water sprinkling truck can be bent freely, the water sprinkling pipe is not obstructed by arranging the water sprinkling pipe along the plane through which the rail passes when the water sprinkling truck is housed or put in or out of the house.
