[0003]

In a conventional mowing device,
As shown in the latter publication, a hanging curtain having flexibility is provided in the opening of the front and rear walls of the housing, so that the planted grass can be guided into the cutting blade housing while cutting grass, foreign matter, etc. I try not to fly outside. Openings at the front and rear ends of the housing side wall enable grass to be introduced from the side of the housing, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of grass introduced into the housing due to a difference in radius during turning. And pebbles tend to pop out, leaving room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to prevent scattering from the housing opening while preventing the mowing function from being hindered.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[Structure] A first characteristic structure is that a bottomless box-shaped cutting blade housing that covers a rotary cutting blade is provided with a sled body that can be grounded on left and right side walls, and a lower front wall of the cutting blade housing and a lower front portion of the left and right side walls. A mowing machine equipped with a traveling body with a mowing device formed with a continuous opening for planting grass guidance, a flexible main hanging curtain capable of closing a main opening at a lower portion of a front wall, In addition, a flexible auxiliary hanging curtain capable of closing the auxiliary opening at the lower front part of the left and right side walls is provided, and the left and right ends of the main hanging curtain and the front ends of the auxiliary hanging curtains are integrated.

[0005] The second feature configuration is the same as the first feature configuration,
This is a point that a guide member for regulating the amount of rearward displacement of the main banner to a predetermined amount or less is provided.

A third characteristic configuration is that a mowing device having a rotary cutting blade and a bottomless box-shaped cutting blade housing covering the rotary cutting blade is connected to a front portion of a traveling machine body so as to be able to move up and down, and a front of the cutting blade housing. In a mowing machine in which an opening for guiding planted grass is formed in each of a wall and a rear wall, a flexible hanging curtain is provided on a lower abdomen of the traveling body located between left and right traveling devices. That is.

[Operation] According to the first characteristic configuration, the hanging curtain having flexibility is mounted not only in the main opening but also in the auxiliary opening, so that scattering from the opening in the side wall can be suppressed or prevented. Due to the flexibility, the function that the grass introduction amount is hardly reduced even during the turning traveling can be maintained. The mere provision of the main hanging curtain and the auxiliary hanging curtain has a risk that pebbles and the like may be scattered from gaps by pushing the hanging curtains.However, in the case of the present invention in which the main hanging curtain and the auxiliary hanging curtain are connected and integrated, this is not the case. In addition to eliminating the risk of being scattered by being pushed away, both banners are flexible, so that they can be displaced even when connected, and the grass introduction function is not impaired.

According to the second characteristic configuration, since the amount of rearward displacement of the main hanging curtain is regulated by the guide member, it is possible to avoid the possibility that the elastically deformed portion is concentrated at the root of the hanging curtain or that there is a possibility of permanent deformation due to excessive displacement. , Which contributes to better exhibiting the function as a banner.

According to the third characteristic configuration, the following operation is provided. That is, in the radio-controlled mower described in the above-mentioned publication, the driver is often located behind the traveling body. The flying pebbles may pass through the lower abdomen of the fuselage and reach the rear of the fuselage, which is not preferable. Therefore, by providing a flexible hanging banner in the lower abdomen of the body between the left and right traveling devices, it is possible to suppress or prevent the flying objects from reaching the rear through the lower abdomen of the body, and to make a steel plate. Like a hanging curtain, there is no danger that the scattering prevention function will be impaired due to deformation due to collision with a foreign object such as a stone block.

[Effect] In the mowing machine according to the first aspect, by cutting the front and side openings of the cutting blade housing by connecting hanging curtains made of a flexible material, a good mowing function is not impaired. Scattering phenomena such as pebbles jumping out of the cutting blade housing can be suppressed or prevented, and the working environment can be further improved.

The mowing machine according to the second aspect has an advantage that the function and reliability of the main banner are improved in addition to the above effects.

In the mowing machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, the phenomenon of flying backward through the lower abdomen of the fuselage can be inexpensively configured by a simple modification such that a hanging curtain having a simple structure is hung on the fuselage. Was made.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a radio-controlled mower equipped with a mowing device A in front of a traveling body B. 1 is a hood, 2 is a crawler traveling device, 3 is an engine, 4 is a lifting link mechanism, 5 is a ropes, and 6 is a patrol light. This mower is operated by a pilot (not shown) having a transmitter at a remote position such as behind the fuselage B, and is mainly used for cutting weeds on hills and slopes such as banks. .

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mowing device A has a well-known flare mower structure, and includes a cutting blade 7 that rotates around a left and right axis P, and a bottomless box-shaped cutting blade that covers the cutting blade 7. It comprises a blade housing 8 and a hydraulic motor 9 for driving the cutting blade,
It is connected to the traveling machine body B by a lifting link mechanism 4 so as to be able to move up and down. The hydraulic motor 9 is of a reversible type, and the cutting blade housing 8 is configured to be symmetrical in front and rear so that mowing work can be performed during forward traveling and reverse traveling.

The cutting blade housing 8 includes front and rear walls 8a, 8b,
A sled body 10 of a pipe, which includes left and right side walls 8c and 8d and a ceiling wall 8e, and can be grounded, is attached to the left and right side walls 8c and 8d. That is, the lower part of the front wall 8a and the left and right side walls 8c, 8
A continuous opening S for planting grass guidance is formed in each of a portion extending to the lower front portion of d and a lower portion of the rear wall 8b and a lower rear portion of the left and right side walls 8c and 8d. The opening S is
It comprises a main opening Sm at the lower part of the front wall 8a or the lower part of the rear wall 8b, and auxiliary opening parts Ss, Ss at the lower front part of the left and right side walls 8c, 8d.

Each opening S has three rubber hangs 11, 1
2 and 13 are suspended and deployed. Due to the elastic displacement, the rearward displacement is performed to introduce the planting grass at the opening on the upper side in the traveling direction, and the lower side in the traveling direction is in a hanging state so that the cut grass is scattered from the opening S. Functions to block to prevent.
The left and right rubber hangs 11 and 13 are formed integrally with main body rubbers 11a and 13a corresponding to the main opening portion Sm and side rubbers 11b and 13b corresponding to auxiliary opening portions Ss before and after the sled body 10 (FIG. 5), which is bent 90 degrees and bolted to the cutting blade housing 8. The center rubber hang 12 has a simple rectangular shape, and each of the rubber hangs 11, 12, 13 is provided with a slit h for facilitating deformation. Here, left and right body rubber 1
