Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a spray liquid tank equipped in a spray vehicle such as a boom sprayer, and more specifically, to a spray vehicle spraying method in which hose disposition is improved. It concerns a liquid tank.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional chemical liquid tank equipped on a spray vehicle such as a boom sprayer, a worker does not have a ladder or the like that moves up and down to the upper part of the chemical liquid tank. Further, a water supply hose equipped in the chemical liquid tank is stored by hooking it on a hook for use when absorbing water into the chemical liquid tank. Further, the tank body of the chemical liquid tank is made of an opaque material.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

When supplying water to the chemical liquid tank, the operator opens the lid of the input port at the top of the chemical liquid tank, inserts the water supply hose into the input port, and inputs water from the water supply hose into the chemical liquid tank. The liquid chemical tank is not equipped with a ladder, which is inconvenient. Further, a hook is required to dispose the water supply hose at a predetermined place when it is not used, which makes the structure complicated. Furthermore, the remaining amount of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid tank could not be known from the outside.

It is an object of the invention of claim 1 to provide a spray liquid tank of a spray vehicle which is useful for an operator's up and down flights to the upper part of the spray liquid tank and which is advantageous for disposing a hose when not in use. .

A further object of the invention of claim 2 is to utilize the ladder for visual recognition of the spray liquid (36) in the spray liquid tank.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The invention will be described using the reference numerals of the drawings corresponding to the embodiments.

In the spray liquid tank (10) for a spray vehicle according to claim 1, the vertical groove (18) and the horizontal groove (22) are connected to each other at an upper end of the vertical groove (18) so that a side surface ( 2
0) and the upper surface (14). The plurality of rod-shaped members (24) are laid across the vertical groove (18) at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction.

In the spray liquid tank (10) for a spray vehicle according to claim 2, the rod-shaped member (24) is made of a transparent material tube (24), and each tube (24) communicates with the inside of the tank body (12). .

[Action]

In the invention of claim 1, the operator is the tank body (12).
While climbing up and down while hanging the limbs on the rod-shaped member (24) on the side surface (20). The hose (28) equipped in the spray liquid tank (10) has a horizontal groove (22) on the upper surface (14) of the tank body (12) and a vertical groove (18) on the side surface (20) when not in use. Further, the vertical groove (18) is fitted into the space, and particularly the vertical groove (18) is inserted into the space defined between the rod-shaped member (24) and the vertical groove (18). The hose (28) abuts the rod-shaped member (24) when attempting to separate from the vertical groove (18) to the side of the side surface (20) of the tank body (12), and the position inside the vertical groove (18) is kept. Retained.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the tube (24) made of a transparent material is
The tank body (1) is connected to the pipe (24) which communicates with the inside of the tank body (12) and is lower than the height of the spray liquid (36) in the tank body (12).
2) The spray liquid (36) is introduced from the inside. The operator knows the height of the pipe (24) into which the spray liquid (36) is introduced, to know the remaining amount of the spray liquid (36) in the tank body (12).

〔Example〕

 The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the chemical liquid tank 10. This chemical tank
For example, 10 is mounted on a boom sprayer that is detachably attached to the rear part of the tractor.
It can also be used as a spray liquid tank for other self-propelled spray vehicles. An input port (not shown) for opening and closing a lid 16 on the upper surface 14 of the tank main body 12 for inputting powdery granular medicine and water.
Is provided, and the drug solution produced by mixing the drug with water 36
(FIG. 2) is stored in the tank body 12. The vertical groove 18 is formed in the vertical direction on the side surface 20 of the tank body 12, and the horizontal groove 22
Is formed on the upper surface 14 of the tank body 12 so as to be horizontal to the side surface 20. Vertical groove 18 and horizontal groove 22
Have a curved cross section, such as a semicircular shape, which follows the outer peripheral contour of a water supply hose 28 described later, and are connected to each other at the upper end of the vertical groove 18. The plurality of transparent tubes 24,
The ladder 26 is arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction and horizontally laid horizontally in the vertical groove 18 to form a ladder 26 as a whole. Each transparent tube 24 is housed in the vertical groove 18 and does not project outward from the surface of the side surface 20. Although the side surface opposite to the side surface 20 is hidden in FIG. 1, the vertical groove 18 and the ladder 26 similar to the side surface 20 may be provided on the opposite side surface.

The worker removes the water supply hose 28 from the vertical groove 18 and the horizontal groove 22, and at the time of the water supply work from the inlet of the upper surface 14 of the tank body 12, while holding the limbs on the transparent pipe 24 of the ladder 26,
Go up and down.

A strainer 30 is attached to one end of the water supply hose 28, and when water is supplied to the tank body 12, the other end is connected to the suction port side of the pump and the strainer 30 side is submerged in a predetermined water source. The water supply hose 28 is fitted into the vertical groove 18 and the horizontal groove 22 so that the strainer 30 is at the lower end of the vertical groove 18 when not in use. In the vertical groove 18, the strainer 30 is inserted inside the ladder 26 and the ladder 26. This prevents it from coming off the vertical groove 18.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a range of the transparent tube 24 in a vertical section passing through the transparent tube 24. Both ends of the transparent tube 24 penetrate through the tank wall 32 that defines the vertical groove 18 and communicate with the inside of the tank body 12, and the seal of the joint portion with the tank wall 32 is held by the mold 34. The chemical liquid 36 in the tank body 12 is introduced into the transparent tube 24.

If the transparent tube 24 of the ladder 26 is located at a position lower than the height of the chemical liquid 36 in the tank body 12,
The chemical liquid 36 in 12 is introduced and visible from the outside of the transparent tube 24. The operator knows the height of the transparent pipe 24 into which the chemical liquid 36 is introduced and the height of the ladder 26 to know the remaining amount of the chemical liquid 36 in the tank body 12.

In the illustrated embodiment, the chemical liquid tank 10 applied to the boom sprayer has been described, but the spray liquid tank of the present invention can also be applied as a spray liquid tank of other spray vehicles other than the boom sprayer, such as a speed sprayer. .

[Effect of device]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the plurality of rod-shaped members are vertically installed in the vertical groove on the side surface of the tank body to form a ladder in which the side surface of the tank body does not substantially project. Therefore, the operator can use the ladder to go up and down the side surface of the tank main body and avoid the presence of the ladder from interfering with the surrounding objects of the tank main body. Further, the hose can be inserted between the rod-shaped member and the vertical groove to prevent the hose from coming off the vertical groove, and the hose can be efficiently arranged when not in use.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, each rod-shaped member forming the ladder is made of a transparent material tube, and the tubes communicate with the inside of the tank body. Therefore, the tube up to a height corresponding to the level of the spray liquid in the tank body is formed. The spray liquid in the tank body is introduced into. Therefore, it is possible to know the remaining amount of the sprayed liquid in the tank body from the presence or absence of the sprayed liquid on the pipe, and the ladder also has the visibility function of the remaining amount,
It is advantageous.
