It is set up. The working machine-side connecting portion 23 described above is located closer to the machine 1 than the center of gravity of the entire working machine 11 is.

The imaginary line in FIG. 1, the imaginary line in FIG. 6 and the imaginary line in FIG. 7 show a state in which the connecting portion 9 on the machine side and the connecting portion 23 on the working machine side are connected. The operation of the connecting structure will be described below. With the lifting link 7 lowered, the upper locking portion 35 of the link holder 25 is positioned below the upper locking receiver 63 on the working machine 11 side. The engagement body 39 of the main body side connection portion 9 is regulated in the open state by the pin 47 of the operation member 43 and the small hole portion 46a of the regulation member 45. When the elevating link 7 is raised, the upper link 35 is guided from below by the opening that widens before and after the upper latch 35.
Engages with the upper locking receiver 63. When the elevating link 7 is further raised, the working machine 11 is scooped up in the air, and the center of gravity of the working machine 11 moves, so that the lower side of the working machine 11 swings toward the machine 1. As a result, the hitch bracket 55 of the working machine side coupling portion 23 is guided by the guide portion 51 of the link holder 25 to determine the left and right position and enters between the left and right guide portions 51. At this time, the lower engagement receiver 57 of the working machine side connecting portion 23 enters the recess 37 of the machine side connecting portion 9, and the contact receiving surface 55a is contacted from the rear side with the contact member 33.

Work machine 11 that extends between hitch bracket 55 and hitch 61
It abuts on the lower locking receiver 57 from the side. The stopper 44 hits the inside of the regulation member 45 to prevent the engagement body 39 from reversing due to vibration or overload, whereby the engagement body 39 is locked in the engaged state. If there is looseness between the engaging body 39 and the lower lock receiving body 57, the stopper 44 can be rotated to operate the operation member.
The engaging body 39 rotates via 43, and the lower lock receiving body 57 is recessed 37
The lower locking receiver 57 is pressed into the link holder 25 by pulling it in. Therefore, since the backlash of the engaging portion between the lower lock receiving body 57 and the engagement body 39 can be adjusted by the stopper 44 each time, there is no problem that the backlash is generated in the connecting portion due to a processing and assembling error or long-term use. Also, the two left and right engaging bodies 39
Since the lower lock receiving body 57 is pressed by, it is securely fixed and the connection strength is high.

In the connected state, since the engaging body 39 is provided along the side surface of the link holder 25, the engaging body 39 is supported by the side surface of the link holder 25 to increase the strength of the engaging body 39 against a lateral load. Further, since the engagement body 39 is inserted into the gap between the hitch bracket 55 and the hitch 61 to lock the lower lock receiving body 57, the inter-member space of the working machine side connecting portion 23 can be effectively used. .

Further, the hitch member 59 covers the engaging portion, which prevents contamination by dirt and the like, and in the structure of this embodiment, the reinforcing bracket 59a also covers the engaging portion 39 in the connected state. The protection of is getting thicker.

Further, since the attachment position of the contact member 33 is displaced toward the main body 1 side from the lower link connection fulcrum 29, the hitch bracket 55
The thickness in the front-rear direction can be increased by the displacement amount, and the strength of the hitch bracket 55 can be enhanced. The lower connecting portion is not only in surface contact with the hitch bracket 55, but the hitch bracket 55 is fitted between the lower links 5 so that the lower connecting state is stable and the lower link 5 becomes a gart and the outside The durability of the connecting portion against the impact and the load from is improved. Further, since the abutment member 33 is located on the machine 1 side with respect to the ascending / descending trajectory of the upper engaging portion 35, the abutment member 33 does not contact the working machine 11 side at the time of connection, and the upper engaging portion 35 is first Can be engaged with the upper locking receiver 63, and the attachment / detachment operation can be facilitated.

After the connection between the main body side connecting portion 9 and the working machine side connecting portion 23 is completed, the connecting portion 69 provided at the tip of the drive shaft 13 is connected to the output portion 67 provided at the rear end of the main body 1. The drive shaft 13 is inserted into the lifting link 7 on the side where the operation member 43 is provided. As described above, since all the joints to be operated when attaching and detaching the work machine are provided on one side of the machine body, the attachment and detachment operation can be performed on one side of the work machine 11, and the work efficiency can be increased.

When removing the working machine 11 connected as described above,
The stand member 19 of the working machine 11 is set to the stand position, and the operating member 43 is pulled in the raised position to release the engagement body 39, and the lifting link 7 is lowered. When the lifting link 7 is further lowered from the position where the stand member 19 is in contact with the ground, the abutment member 33 separates from the abutment receiving surface 55a, the lower engagement receiver 57 disengages from the recess 37, and finally the upper engagement portion. 35 is the upper locking receiver
Leave 63. Therefore, when the working machine 11 is to be removed, it can be easily removed only by the operation in the driver's seat. Since the stand member 19 has elasticity,
It can be tilted forward in the stand state, and by slightly tilting forward when mounting, obstacles to the upward trajectory of the upper locking portion 35 under the upper locking receiver 63 are reduced and the mounting is facilitated. You can Even when the working machine 11 is removed, the work machine 11 can be detached elastically and automatically while tilting forward as the lifting link 7 descends, so that the working machine 11 can be attached and detached by one person.

The structure of the present invention described above is not limited to rice transplanters,
It can also be applied to the connection of many other working machines such as fertilizer applicators, weeding machines and disinfecting machines.

<Effect of the Invention> According to the mechanism of the present invention configured as described above, in the state where the working machine is mounted, the restriction member and the stopper receive the force in the engaging body releasing direction acting on the operating member, so that the releasing operation of the engaging body is performed. It can be prevented and work safety is ensured.

Further, the backlash and vibration of the working machine connecting portion are extremely reduced, so that it is possible to prevent an error in a detected value and a malfunction when a sensor is mounted on the working machine side or the working machine is controlled by a microcomputer.
