Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a large-sized flexible container mainly used for mechanically harvesting root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an average-scale farmer, root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots have been mainly harvested manually, but recently a vegetable harvester (tentative name) for mechanically harvesting them has been developed. As a result, a container capable of storing and transporting a large amount of root vegetables of about 200 kg at a time has been required.

[0003] As a practically used flexible container for root vegetables, in most cases, a large flexible container on the market for storing grains and the like is diverted to root vegetables. Containers with lids have often been used because root vegetables, especially carrots, are easily damaged when exposed to air after harvesting. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the main body of the bag (a) is about 900 mm in diameter by the cloth fabric and the length of the body (b) is about 100 mm.
It is sewn into a cylindrical shape of 0 mm, and a lid (c) and a bottom lid (d) are provided on the upper and lower edges so as to be openable and closable, while an inverted U-shaped rope or The belt (f) was sewn facing each other, and the portion protruding from the upper edge of the trunk was used as a hanging hand (g).

In using the flexible container having the above structure as a container for root vegetables, an empty bag with the bottom cover (d) of the bag main body (a) closed is placed on a base plate of a vegetable harvester, and the cover portion thereof is provided. (C) fully opened and the trunk (b)
In order to keep the upper edge open, the hanger (h) of each of the two pulling devices is engaged with each of the above-mentioned hanging hands (g), and each is pulled in the outward direction. The excavated root vegetables are put into the body through the opening via a conveyor, etc., and when it is full, the upper edge of the lid (c) is squeezed with a string (e) and the opening is closed. Then, the container is lifted by a winch (not shown) or the like and lowered onto a field using the above-mentioned hanger, and the container is moved and transported to a target location to open the bottom cover (d) and discharge the stored items. That's what it was like.

[0005]

According to the above-mentioned flexible container having a conventional structure, a hanger (h) of a pulling tool suitable for both inverted U-shaped hanging hands (g) in mechanical harvesting of root vegetables. The upper part of the main body of the bag (A) is opened, and the lid (C) above the main body is in the middle of the main body (B). When the folded portion is pressed by the root vegetables stored in the trunk (b), the lid (c) in the trunk is pulled out when closing the full bag-based lid. Not only requires a great deal of labor and time, but also because the interval between the inverted U-shaped belts (f) of the flexible container for grain is generally narrow, the opening shape of the flexible container becomes long and narrow. And it was difficult to obtain a sufficiently large opening amount.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention has a lid portion on an upper edge of a cylindrical body having a predetermined size sewn with a cloth fabric or the like, and a lower edge portion. While the bottom cover is extended to be openable and closable, an inverted U-shaped suspending belt is stretched between two relatively widely spaced points on the outer surface extending from the upper edge of the body to the bottom cover. A means is used which is opposed to the upper edge of the upper portion and sews an annulus having a predetermined interval facing the inner surface of the upper edge of the body.

[0007] In addition, measures have been taken to sew the above-mentioned ring band in relation to a suspension belt or the like on the outer surface of the trunk portion to increase the mounting strength.

[0008]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a flexible container for root vegetables according to the present invention; FIG. Height 630mm
The body 2 of the flexible container sewn into a tubular shape is a lid 300 mm in length connected to the upper edge 1a of the body, and a string 2b or the like is inserted through the upper edge 2a of the opening. It can be opened and closed in a contracted shape.

A bottom cover 3 is provided around the lower edge 1b of the body 1 so that the lower bottom of the body 1 can be closed.
The bottom surface is formed by squeezing four chrysanthemum split pieces 3a of 0 mm with a string or a rope 3b inserted into the lower edge thereof, and 4 denotes two outer surfaces of the body 1 , Which is sewn across two points on each side of the quadrant of the body upper edge 1a, and the upper end of which is projected from the body upper edge 1a. Hanger 4a
It is what constituted.

Reference numeral 5 denotes two orbital rings each having a length approximately one quarter of the circumference of the trunk.
Are sewn to face the inner surface of the body upper edge 1a.

The lower part of the inverted U-shaped suspension belt 4 facing the outer surface of the body upper edge 1a passes through the central portion of each chrysanthemum split piece 3a of the bottom cover 3 and reaches the tip thereof. It is extended and sewn, and can sew an appropriate webbing 4b or the like as necessary to reinforce the trunk portion 1 and the bottom cover 2 and maintain the sewing strength.

The inverted U-shaped hanging belts 4 of each of the above sets are used.
The hooks 4b of the winch 6a mounted on the vegetable harvester 6 when lifting or moving the real bag with the lid 3 closed (see FIG. 4).
Alternatively, since the material is used as an engagement hole for a fork (not shown) of a forklift, the material is not limited to the belt-shaped belt, but may be a rope as long as the material has considerable strength. In the case of the hanging hand 4a using a relatively wide band like the hanging belts 4 shown in the figure, by folding this portion in two, the hook 6b of the winch can be easily disengaged. What you get. Further, in the bottom cover 3, reference numeral 3c denotes an inner cylinder of the bottom cover 3.

On the other hand, the annular belts 5 sewn facing the inner surface of the upper edge of the body 1 are hooked on a hanger 7a of a pulling tool 7 which is elastically expanded and contracted separately when root vegetables are thrown. The purpose of this is to pull the upper edge 1a of the body portion outward to maintain the open state, so that high strength is not required, and the annulus 5 is described in the above embodiment. The ring is not limited to the annulus constituted by the band having a length of about one-fourth of the waist circumference, and may be shorter. However, it is preferable to use a relatively long band.

Further, the above-mentioned ring zone may be 2 as in the above example.
Instead of means for attaching long strips of books, four ring zones 5 'and 5', which are arranged at equal intervals at the waist circumference or at intervals close to them, are sewn to two on each side. Alternatively, the pulling tool 7 may be hooked on each hanger 7a so that the pulling tool 7 can be pulled in the opening direction (see FIG. 3).

The mounting position of the above-mentioned ring band 5 or 5 'is as follows.
Although not particularly limited, in any of the above-mentioned belts, rather than directly sewn to the fabric of the body 1, in the relation of the suspension belts 4, 4 opposed to the outer surface of the body 1, By suturing to the hanging belt 4 or the webbing 4b on the outer surface with the body cloth being interposed, the mounting strength of each belt can be greatly improved.

Further, in the main structure of the flexible container according to the present invention, the material of the lid 2 sewn to the upper edge 1a of the body is preferably excellent in flexibility rather than strength in application. The opening / closing structure of the bottom cover 3 is not limited to the chrysanthemum split structure as in the above-described embodiment, and any structure having an opening / closing function suitable for the purpose can be applied to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the procedure of using the flexible container according to the present invention will be described. The tip side can be moved up and down facing the outlet 6d of one side of the vegetable harvester 6 provided with a root vegetable excavating mechanism 6c on the other side. A belt conveyor 6e,
Utilizing the tip pulley 6f and the pole 6h of the winch 6a installed on the base plate 6g, hangers 7a, 7a of each set of elastically expanding and contracting pulling tools 7 are attached.

Now, an empty bag of the container (C) with the bottom cover 3 closed is placed on the base plate 6g of the vegetable harvesting machine 6 having the above structure, and the top edge 2a of the cover is fully opened. This portion is folded back to the outer periphery of the torso portion 1 to expose the annular belts 5 opposed to the inner surface of the torso upper edge 1a, and each is hung on the hanger 7a of the pulling tool 7, whereby each hanger is Under the elastic pulling force, the upper edge 1a of the trunk portion effectively expands, and a sufficient opening amount can be maintained.

In this state, the root vegetables are stored in the container. Since the conveyor 6e is capable of ascending and descending at the tip end, the drop between the input opening of the container body 1 and the bottom surface 1b is as small as possible. In the initial stage of loading, the leading end side of the conveyor 6e is lowered, and as the storage amount is increased temporarily, the harvested product can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, when the body of the container is full of root vegetables, the folded portion of the lid 2 is pulled up, the upper edge thereof is contracted and closed, and the hanging hands 4a, 4a of the hanging belt 4 exposed by this are attached. Engage each hook 6b of the winch 6a,
After the bag is once lifted and the main body of the bag is lowered from the base plate 6g to the field, another empty bag is placed on the base plate 6g, and the above steps are repeated.

Incidentally, the actual bags dropped on the field are mounted on the carrier of a transport vehicle by another crane or a forklift and transported to the destination. In addition, the actual bag transported to the destination is lifted to a certain height by using a hoist 4a with a crane or the like, and it is not possible to open the bottom cover 3 and discharge the crop, and it is no longer possible to use the conventional grain. Same as for flexible containers.

[0022]

As has been made clear from the above description, the flexible container for root vegetables according to the present invention has a conventional product in which the conventional product is lifted mainly by the bag by a hanging hand opposed to the outer surface of the bag.・ While the moving function and the opening function of the upper edge of the torso were used together, of these functions, the opening function mainly of the bag is provided in the ring band provided opposite the upper edge of the torso. , So that the lid at the time of opening can be folded back down along the outer surface of the trunk, and the spacing between the hoops by the hanger is configured to be large to maintain a wide opening amount. Therefore, even if the harvested root vegetables are stored up to the upper edge of the trunk, the lid can be closed very easily and easily, and the efficiency of a series of root vegetable harvest operations can be significantly improved. I got it.
