BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology for mechanizing a series of harvesting operations from rooting of root vegetables such as carrots and radishes to underground transportation and post-processing. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, root crops have been harvested by a manual operation in which root vegetables buried in a field are extracted one by one by hand and then the leaves are cut off with a kitchen knife.

[0003]

The artificial harvesting of root crops involves heavy labor of pulling the root crops out of the field in a bent posture. Therefore, it is desired to realize a mechanized harvester such as a combine. Was. This is a pressing issue for large-scale fields. The present invention realizes and provides a root vegetable harvesting machine in which a series of steps from the extraction of root vegetables to the stage before leaf cutting is mechanized.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a leaf portion of a root vegetable is sandwiched between a pair of left and right front endless rotating belts which are driven to face each other while being inclined rearward and upward. And a pair of left and right rear endless rotating belts and a pair of left and right alignment transport mechanisms disposed below the pulling unit for pulling the root vegetables upward while pulling the root vegetables from the ground. And a transport device for transporting the root vegetables sent from the pull-out portion rearward by nipping and transporting the upper portion of the leaf portion by driving the pair of rear endless rotating bands while guiding and guiding between the alignment transport mechanisms. Provided, respectively, the vertical interval between the pair of rear endless rotating bands and the pair of alignment transport mechanisms,
These rear endless rotating belts and the alignment conveyance mechanism are relatively arranged so as to be wider toward the lower side in the conveyance direction, and
When a predetermined or more downward moving force acts on the transported root vegetables, the leaf holding force is set by a pair of rear endless rotating bands so that the downward movement from the rear endless rotating bands of the root vegetables is allowed. A guide means for maintaining the vertical distance between the main body upper surface of the root vegetable conveyed by the endless rotating belt and the front part thereof at a predetermined value or more in the drawing part, and the guide means acts on the transport root vegetable. An intermediate portion of the front endless rotating band pair in which the leaf portion pinching force is set so that the root vegetable can be shifted downward from the endless rotating band pair by a predetermined downward moving force, and a pair of left and right acting on the upper surface of the root vegetable body. The guide member is arranged in such a manner that the vertical interval between the end member and the endless rotating band pair increases toward the rear, and the pinching force of the endless rotating band pair on the root vegetable stem is determined by the endless rotating band pair. The middle part, the rear part, and the front part It is characterized constitute a.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned characteristic configuration, the pull-out portion functions to pull out the root vegetables in the ground and lift it upward by sandwiching the leaf portion protruding above the ground, and the transfer device includes a pair of alignment transfer mechanisms. Thus, in a state in which the transport path at the lower portion of the leaf portion is formed, a function of providing a transport action by nipping the upper portion of the leaf portion by the pair of rear endless rotating bands is exhibited. In the transport device, the vertical interval between the alignment transport mechanism and the rear endless rotating band is increased such that the lower the distance in the transport direction, the wider the vertical interval.
The lower endless rotating belt allows the root vegetables to move downward, so the transport mechanism moves closer to the root of the leaf as it is transported backward, and finally transports it in contact with the top of the root vegetable body After that, the pair of rear endless rotating belts and the leaves are moved up and down relative to each other to maintain the contact conveyance state. as a result,
At the end of the transport device, all root vegetables are unified into a contact transport state, so that the root vegetables can be delivered to a post-processing step such as a cutter device for cutting leaves with a fixed posture and position.

By the way, the vertical interval between the start end of the alignment transfer mechanism and the rear endless rotating belt does not become zero, and a certain vertical interval occurs due to the mechanical dimensions. If the root-container main body upper surface has already come into contact with the front endless rotating band in the contact conveyance state, there is a possibility that the root vegetable main body may bite between the alignment conveyance mechanism and the rear endless rotating band. Therefore, in the present application, since the guide means for maintaining the vertical distance between the upper surface of the root vegetable main body and the front endless rotating belt at a predetermined value or more is provided, the rear endless rotating belt is transferred to the alignment transport mechanism. There is a predetermined vertical interval between the top and the root vegetable main body, and the paper is transferred to the alignment transport mechanism without biting between the start end of the alignment transport mechanism and the rear endless rotating band.

[0007] Then, the pinch force of the leaf stem portion of the pair of endless rotating bands is
The middle part, the rear part, and the front part are strengthened in this order, so that the root part is reliably pulled out by the strong pinching force in the front part, and the root part can be displaced downward by the weak clamping force in the middle part. To the position below the endless rotation band by a predetermined distance, and in the rear part set to the clamping force set between the front part and the middle part, the root vegetables are overcome by overcoming the clamping force of the positioning mechanism. And the downward movement of the leaf stem after the contact conveyance state is attained. In other words, the pinching force sufficient for the leaf stem pinching action at each part in the endless rotating band pair is set without wasting the unnecessary setting of the pinching force.

[0008]

Accordingly, a series of processes from the extraction of the root vegetables from underground to before the post-processing of the cutter device and the like can be performed smoothly without unnecessary clamping force in the endless rotary belt for pulling and conveying. In addition, the machine can be machined without the risk of biting at the start of the alignment transport mechanism, and by aligning the root vegetables delivered to the post-processing to a certain posture and position, the mechanization process can be smoothed and stabilized, contributing to improved harvesting efficiency. I was able to provide what I could do.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology for mechanizing a series of harvesting operations from a step of extracting root crops such as carrots and radishes from a field to a step of transporting the crops to a post-processing step. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, crop harvesting work has been performed by manually extracting crops growing in a field one by one and then cutting off the leaves with a kitchen knife.

[0003]

Since the artificial harvesting of the crop is a heavy labor of pulling the crop out of the field in a bent posture, it has been desired to realize a mechanized harvester such as a combine. . This is a pressing issue for large-scale fields. The present invention realizes and provides a harvester in which the processes from the extraction of a crop to the front end to post-processing such as cutting of foliage are mechanized.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a crop plant comprising a pair of left and right endless rotating belts which are driven to face each other in a rearwardly inclined state. A pull-out conveyance device that pulls up and conveys the crops upward and rearward while pulling it out of the field, and a position alignment conveyance mechanism that is configured to be guided and guided across the foliage of the crop and that is arranged below the pull-out conveyance device. The vertical interval between the device and the alignment transport mechanism is configured to be wider toward the lower side in the crop transport direction, and when a downward moving force greater than a predetermined force acts on the transported crop, the crop is moved from the pair of endless rotating belts. The pulling and conveying device is configured such that the foliage of the crop can be moved downward, and at a position below the pulling and conveying device in front of the alignment conveying mechanism, the upper surface of the main body of the crop to be conveyed and the lower surface of the endless rotating belt. At the top and bottom A guide means for keeping the value at or above the value is provided.A pair of left and right guide members acting on the upper surface of the crop body in a state in which the vertical interval with the endless rotating band is widened toward the rear, and a predetermined or more The pulling and conveying device is provided with a middle portion in the front-rear direction in which the foliage pinching force is set so that the foliage portion of the crop can pass downward from the pair of endless rotating belts when a pressing force is applied. A characteristic feature is that the foliage pinching force by the rotating band is set to be smaller at a portion corresponding to the guide means in the drawing and conveying device than at other portions.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned characteristic configuration, the front ends of the pair of left and right endless rotating belts forming the pull-out transport device are configured to hold the foliage of the crop spreading in the field scene, pull it out of the field and lift it upward and rearward. In the state in which the transport path to the lower part of the foliage is formed by the alignment transport mechanism, the pulling and transporting device thereafter grips the upper part of the foliage of the extracted crop and transports it upward and backward. To work.

The vertical spacing between the pull-out transport device and the alignment transport mechanism is increased toward the lower side in the transport direction, and
Since the foliage can move downward from the pair of endless rotating belts, as the paper is conveyed rearward, the alignment mechanism relatively approaches the root of the foliage and finally comes into contact with the top surface of the crop body and is conveyed. It is in the transport state. Even after that, the endless rotating belt pair and the foliage part move up and down relative to each other, so that the contact conveyance state is maintained, and as a result, the crop is kept at a fixed posture and height position at the end of the alignment conveyance mechanism. With aligned
It can be transferred to post-processing steps such as cutting cutters for foliage. As a result, the process from the extraction of the crop from the field (extraction) to the conveyance of the crop to a position before the post-processing is mechanized.

By the way, it is physically difficult to make the vertical distance between the start end of the alignment transport mechanism and the pair of endless rotating bands zero, and a certain vertical distance occurs due to mechanical dimensions. If the extracted crop is already in a contact and transport state in which the top of the crop body is in contact with the endless rotating belt at that time, there is a risk that the crop body may bite between the alignment transport mechanism and the pull-out transport device and be caught. is there. Therefore, the guide means for maintaining the vertical distance between the top surface of the crop body and the pair of endless rotating belts to be equal to or more than a predetermined value is provided. Thus, there is a predetermined vertical interval, and it is possible to shift to the transport state in which the crop body is positioned below the alignment transport mechanism without fear of biting.

The pinch force of the foliage by the pair of endless rotating belts is set to be smaller at the portion corresponding to the guide means in the pulling and conveying apparatus than at the other portions. The action of separating the endless rotating belt from the upper surface of the crop body is reliably generated, and a reliable contact and transport state of the crop at the rear of the pull-out transport device can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to contribute to ensuring the action of extracting the crop from the field at the front of the pulling and conveying apparatus.

[0009]

As a result, a series of processes from the extraction of the crop from the field to the front of post-processing such as a cutter device is performed by the smooth transport operation by the extraction and transport device, and by ensuring that the posture and position of the crop are aligned. The mechanization could be performed while allowing the treatment to be passed, and the smoothness and stabilization of the mechanization process could be achieved, which could contribute to the improvement of the harvesting efficiency.
