Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a bogie for harvesting agricultural products such as vegetables, and in particular, is cultivated in a ridged field, as represented by lettuce planted and cultivated on an enlarged area.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a harvesting truck having a novel structure that enables agricultural products such as vegetables to be grown and harvested to be harvested while being classified according to quality grades in the field.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As the social structure becomes more sophisticated and complicated, the stress that accumulates must be resolved satisfactorily, and it is necessary to maintain and manage a healthy life on a daily basis. The intensity is extremely high, and yellow-green vegetables are one of the indispensable ingredients on the daily table to get balanced nutrition. Alley lettuce has become a popular vegetable, especially as a yellow-green vegetable from spring to autumn, and is consumed in large quantities in general households as well as specialty stores such as restaurants. Therefore, farmers who plant and grow lettuce in the open field continue to be busy harvesting and shipping every day.

[0003] This lettuce is about 15 cm in a field with a large area.
Ridges of about the height are raised in long rows at intervals of about 40-50 cm, sowing and growing, and after cutting into balls of a suitable size, the roots are sequentially cut with a knife and harvested. Remove the damaged leaves on the spot, put it in a vegetable container, collect it in one place using various known transport vehicles, sort it into large and small, and pack it in a predetermined shipping cardboard box Or, bring in a cardboard box for shipping along the ridge in advance, remove the surrounding damaged leaves on the spot from the cut lettuce, determine the size of the ball together, and determine S, M, L, After sorting according to quality grades based on size standards such as LL and packing into the previous cardboard boxes, loading the filled cardboard boxes on various known transport vehicles and collecting them at predetermined locations, Loaded in trucks, Is it load is general cultivation of far a harvesting process.

[0004] In this conventional process, particularly in the work of cutting lettuce from ridges and the work of packing in vegetable containers or cardboard boxes for shipping, although there are some individual differences depending on the workers, they are generally in the middle. For the people of lettuce growers, these harvesting operations are extremely demanding labors, since they have to continue working as it is, intensively and for a long time in time for the early morning shipping time. Therefore, it is desired to provide some effective means for solving the problem.

[0005] However, although aluminum house cars and container cars, which are light and easy to operate, have been put into practical use so far, for example, conventional transport vehicles such as container cars have wheels. Since a small carrier has too much resistance when moving, it has to adopt a pneumatic tire with a relatively large diameter, and the carrier is mostly installed flat on its wheels,
Since the loading platform is inevitably at a high position and the cardboard box is placed on the cardboard box in a substantially horizontal state, the harvester must keep the kneeling posture suitable for cutting lettuce. In addition to the operation of storing lettuce in the interior, it will be difficult, and since the bottom of the cardboard box can not be seen, the storage state can not be checked at all, and the interior can not be reached. However, since it is impossible to perform operations such as laying out the lettuce quietly without damaging it, it is necessary to break the kneeling position and stand up every time when cutting the lettuce. I was

[0006] Under such circumstances, in the conventional harvesting operation using various known transport vehicles, the waist bending operation is repeated for the number of times corresponding to the number of cut lettuce, and the burden on the operator's waist is increased. Has become extremely large, causing low back pain, and it has been a matter of concern that even a situation that may hinder sound farming management must be concerned. However, even if it is large, only three vegetable containers and cardboard boxes can be stacked at the same time (however, stacking is possible, but in that state it can not be stored while sorting). This involves walking to a cardboard box placed in another location, which not only does not lead to work efficiency,
That was the factor that increased the degree of physical fatigue, and further increased the inconvenience that caused inconvenience to the health management of workers.

The present invention relates to agricultural products such as vegetables as described above,
In particular, in consideration of the actual condition of lettuce harvesting work, the worker hardly needs to set his working posture in the middle of the harvesting work, and harvesting cardboard boxes etc. while keeping the kneeling posture convenient for lettuce cutting work. The storage of harvested products in containers can be carried out smoothly, and even if sorted by quality class such as size, shape, color, etc., a plurality of products arranged in series in the horizontal direction and along the ridges The knee can be moved by dragging the knee within a limited range that is within the width of the entire harvesting container, and the alignment of the harvested items in the harvesting container and the confirmation of the accommodation condition can be performed in a continuous posture. Such as, according to the work content, it is possible to perform the harvesting work with a knee-free posture without burden, and after finishing the accommodation in the harvesting container, like the well-known transporter until then, To the desired location We have worked on the development and research of a convenient trolley that can be moved and transported lightly, and have repeated repeated trial and error and trial production experiments. Upon completion, the configuration will be described in detail below with some specific examples.

[0008]

The gist of the present invention basically has the following structure. That is, a pair of long rods having a length dimension enabling at least a plurality of harvesting containers to be placed in series in the horizontal direction, and a pair of long rods fixing the long rods at an interval at which the harvesting container can be placed. After forming a horizontally long underframe with the short rod, the horizontally long underframe regulates the height position of one of the long rods from the ground to be approximately equal to or higher than the ridge height, and the other long rod is inclined higher than that. In such a way that it is supported by the field operation wheels in a posture, and a catching part for preventing the fall of the harvesting container slippage is provided directly on or near the long rod on the lower side of the horizontal underframe. This is a harvesting trolley that is to be attached.

The harvesting trolley of the present invention having the above-described basic configuration also includes a harvesting trolley having the following configuration. One of them is a pair of long rods having a length dimension that allows at least a plurality of harvesting containers to be placed in series in the horizontal direction, and the long rods are fixed at intervals at which the harvesting containers can be placed. After forming a horizontally long underframe with a pair of short rods, the horizontally long underframe regulates the height position of one of the long rods from the ground to be approximately equal to or higher than the ridge height, and makes the other long rod higher than that. So that it is supported by upland running wheels in such a manner as to have a tilted posture, and a catch for preventing the fall of the harvesting container from slipping directly on or near the long rod on the lower side of the horizontal underframe. The gist has a structure in which a stopper portion is provided in parallel, and a material stand for storing a buffer sheet for crop partitioning and the like is detachably provided in an appropriate place between both short rods. It is a trolley for harvesting.

[0010] Further, a pair of long rods having a length dimension enabling at least a plurality of harvesting containers to be placed in series in a horizontal direction, and an interval between the long rods at which the harvesting containers can be placed. After forming a horizontally long underframe with a pair of short rods to be fixed,
The horizontally long underframe regulates the height position of one of the long rods from the ground to be approximately equal to or higher than the ridge height, so that the other long rod has an inclined posture higher than that, so that the field operation wheels can be used. In addition to being supported, a catching part for preventing the fall of the harvesting container from dropping is provided directly on or in the vicinity of the long rod on the lower side of the horizontal underframe. One short rod side also includes a harvesting trolley having a configuration in which a tool box for storing harvesting scissors and other harvesting tools is detachably attached.

Furthermore, a pair of long rods having a length dimension enabling a plurality of harvesting containers to be placed in series, and a pair of long rods fixing the long rods at an interval where the harvesting containers can be placed. After forming a horizontally long underframe with the short rod, the horizontally long underframe regulates the height position of one of the long rods from the ground to be approximately equal to or higher than the ridge height, and the other long rod is inclined higher than that. In such a way that it is supported by the field operation wheels in a posture, and a catching part for preventing the fall of the harvesting container slippage is provided directly on or near the long rod on the lower side of the horizontal underframe. A harvesting system that has a structure in which a rain cover having at least an open side at least along the lower side long rod is removably combined with the horizontal base frame appropriately above the horizontal base frame. The trolley is also included.

The horizontal underframe is used for harvesting containers determined according to agricultural products such as various vegetables, for example, typical cardboard boxes, containers of various properties such as wooden boxes, plastic cases, foamed resin containers, and the like. As many as necessary for the quality class, they are placed in a row in the horizontal direction, and they function to support the crops even when they are fully loaded in their respective containers. It also serves as a body frame for attaching field operation wheels directly or via auxiliary members as appropriate, and at least a plurality of harvesting containers can be placed in series in the horizontal direction A pair of long rods of a length necessary to make the long rods and the interval at which the harvesting container can be placed (not necessarily the interval dimension matching the size of the harvesting container to be placed, Part of harvest container Would not protrude interval size,
Or, conversely, a larger interval dimension is included. ) Are formed into a horizontally long rectangular frame by a pair of short rods, for example, each made of a square steel pipe, an angle material, a channel material, etc., and the corners are integrated by welding or connected appropriately. Removable bolts via metal fittings
In addition to being framed by various known integrated means such as tightening nuts, the frame may be reinforced by employing an auxiliary long rod or auxiliary short rod in a lattice shape, or plywood, plastic plate, aluminum plate It is also possible to adopt a plate-like structure in which a stainless steel plate or other suitable plate body is covered singly or appropriately laminated and integrated.

[0013] The horizontally long underframe has one long rod,
The height from the ground is regulated to be more than the height of the ridge of the vegetable field to be harvested (normally about 15 cm), and in some cases, the height of the height of the vegetables grown on the ridge. , The other long rod must be held higher than that so as to be arranged in an inclined posture, and in order to realize the inclined posture, it is arranged on the long rod side which is on the higher side. A vertical rod for bearing is arranged and integrated between the bearing part for the field operation wheel and the corresponding short rod position, and the inclination angle is appropriately set, for example, 25 ° to
It can be fixed to an inclined posture at an optimum angle suitable for workability from a range of about 45 °, or a short rod can be detachably fixed at an appropriate position with respect to the vertical rod for the bearing. So that the operator can select and adopt a tilting posture according to the work content at any time, or when always using it as a transport trolley, it can be changed from the tilting posture to a flat posture It is also possible to have done.

The field operation wheel stably supports the horizontally long underframe having the predetermined inclined posture as described above, comes into contact with the ridge on which the crop has grown, and can smoothly roll along the direction of the ridge. The optimal size (such as that the surface of the furrow is soft and uneven, so that it will not stab into the ground or roll over due to the unevenness. In addition to the need to select wheels with a diameter of about 30 to 40 cm), the width of the grounding surface must be carefully examined so that it does not easily sink into the ground even if a load is applied. In addition, it should be advantageous in terms of economy, durability, handling, and the like. Therefore, it is of course possible to adopt wheels having various known structures as long as those conditions are satisfied. But especially Upland travel for the wheels consisting of a pneumatic tire can be said to be the most desirable. Also, in consideration of the loading load, the size and structural strength of the above-described horizontally long underframe, and the stability at the time of movement, three or more, optimally left and right, front and rear are symmetrically arranged. It is recommended that the four wheels be used as upland operation wheels.

[0015] With respect to the horizontally long underframe arranged in such an inclined posture, the long rod on the lower side has a function of preventing the mounted harvesting container from slipping downward due to the inclined posture. Must have a receiving section
For example, a projecting side or a projecting portion protruding in a direction orthogonal to the inclined posture may be directly erected at a key point of the long rod on the lower side, or as adopted in an embodiment described later. The long rod is separate from the long rod, and a member similar to the substantially long rod is arranged so as to be close to and parallel to the long rod. A member that generates frictional resistance to the bottom surface of the harvesting container that is in the inclined position, in addition to the one that abuts the inclined lower side wall of the harvesting container in the inclined position to prevent slippage thereof, for example, A plate body provided with a large number of small anti-slip projections on the entire surface,
Other well-known friction resistance plates or those using a single piece or a combination of projections can also perform the same function, and thus are included in the technical category of the receiving portion in the present invention.

Further, the horizontal underframe of the harvesting trolley of the present invention can be made extremely convenient if the following components are preferably incorporated. The first is a material stand, the second is a tool box, and the other is a rain cover.
For example, when storing the lettuce in a cardboard box which is a container for harvesting lettuce, lettuce is lined up on the bottom of the cardboard box, then a second row of lettuce is lined up on it, and then The eyes will be packed repeatedly in several stages until the inside of the cardboard box is full, and the position of the lettuce in each stage will be shifted up and down during the transportation process after the box is packed. Avoid the inconvenience of moving and failing to keep the orderly packed state, or the misalignment that the adjacent lettuce leaves rub against each other and hurt, reducing the product value Therefore, it is necessary to interpose a cushioning sheet every time one stage is finished and to arrange the lettuce of the next stage on it. And a horizontal underframe to secure the right place.The required number of buffer sheets for each stage of all harvesting containers that are placed horizontally and in series, or water-resistant as needed. Sheets and exterior display labels and other necessary materials for packing, furthermore, such as a cardboard box in a folded state as a harvesting container for replenishment, etc., shall be formed in a structure that can mainly accommodate flat material, One or a plurality of units, depending on the application, can be freely attached and detached, preferably at any convenient place between the harvesting containers placed side by side, that is, between any of the harvesting containers placed side by side. The parts are combined by being erected by well-known attachment means that can be freely selected.

The tool box is a device for closing the top cover of a cardboard box filled with harvested items such as lettuce on the spot, such as a boxer (trade name, large stapler), a packing string, It has a function of accommodating materials that easily roll, such as tapes, and repair tools such as harvesting blades, spanners and pliers, and the like, and is appropriately box-shaped (with a lid if necessary). ) To be formed as a shock-resistant material, for example, stainless steel, plastic, wood, or the like, so that it can be directly detachably attached to the above-mentioned horizontally long underframe.
Alternatively, it is detachably attached to a bearing vertical rod disposed between a bearing for a field operation wheel and a corresponding horizontal short frame short rod, or a portion using the same.

The rain avoiding cover prevents water drops from splashing over the entire plurality of harvesting containers on the obliquely inclined horizontal underframe, and mainly does not cause problems in protecting the properties of the harvesting containers or in transporting the harvesting containers. At the same time, it functions to prevent extra water droplets from adhering to the harvested product in the harvesting container and from receiving direct sunlight, and attaches the frame to the horizontally long underframe or its accompanying member. Alternatively, it can be realized by detachably attaching and suitably stretching a waterproof sheet such as a plastic sheet using the frame. In order to further facilitate understanding of the harvesting trolley of the present invention formed as a gist as described above, some specific embodiments will be described below.
I will add a detailed explanation.

[0019]

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a harvesting trolley representative of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view for explaining a mode of use of the harvesting trolley. In addition, the harvesting trolley of this embodiment includes upland running wheels 9, 9,...
Are arranged in parallel with the long rods 1, 1 of the horizontally long underframe K,
A typical example is shown in which the horizontally long underframe K straddles one or a plurality of ridges and moves so that the direction of its long rod axis coincides with the direction of the ridges.

The horizontally long underframe K is a pair of left and right long rods 1, 1.
And a harvesting container D which is integrated at right and left ends thereof at right angles.
The short rods 2 and 2 are set to have dimensions slightly shorter than the length in the plane longitudinal direction, so that they are formed so as to form a horizontally long rectangular frame body. The auxiliary long rods 11 and the auxiliary short rods 21 and 21 are incorporated in a grid-like arrangement to increase the structural strength of the entire horizontally long underframe K, while the cardboard box D, which is a harvesting container, is provided.
The bottom of D,... Is structured so as to prevent a phenomenon in which a crop is taken in and a load is applied to the bottom to bend downward so as to bend.

The horizontally long underframe K is provided with two wheels before and after being arranged in parallel with the long rods 1, 1 in a state where each of the long rods 1, 1 is held in an inclined posture at a different height from the ground. Each of the field operation wheels 9 made of a pneumatic tire is arranged on the front and rear outer sides of the lower long rod 1 so as to have a structure supported by the field operation wheels 9, 9 and 9, 9, respectively. The axle 91 is detachably mounted on the long rod 1 and the bearing frame 92, and the lower long rod 1 is located at the same height position as the axle 91 inside the field operation wheels 9,9. Will be retained. Therefore, in order to make the ground height of the long rod 1 on the lower side at least equal to or higher than the height of the ridge (usually 15 cm or more), the diameter of the field operation wheel 9 is 30 to 30 times or more the ridge height.
It is necessary to adopt a relatively large one of about 40 cm, and as a result, because of the large diameter, this field operation wheel 9 is not so affected by the soft uneven surface of the soil surface when rolling on the field. Without any trouble, smooth movement can be realized.

On the other hand, the long rod 1 on the high side of the horizontally long underframe K is on an imaginary line inclined at an angle of about 30 ° obliquely upward from the long rod 1 on the low side, and From the bearing frame 92 of the field operation wheels 9, 9 arranged on the same side so as to be located at a position corresponding to a dimension slightly shorter than the length in the plane longitudinal direction of the harvesting container D prepared for the harvested product. The long rod 1 is welded and fixed at the crossing position with the raised vertical rod 4, and the long rod 1 is arranged below the field operating wheels 9, 9.
And the field operation wheels 9, 9 and the previous field operation wheels 9, 9, thereby forming a horizontally long underframe K.
Has a structure in which it is supported in a predetermined inclined posture, and a receiving portion 3 is provided horizontally above and slightly above the long rod 1 on the lower side so as to be parallel to the long rod 1. As a result, the harvesting cart of the present invention is realized. In the figure, 5
Indicates an auxiliary vertical rod raised from both ends of the long rod 1 in order to hold the receiving portion 3 at a predetermined height position. The auxiliary vertical rod is integrated with the vertical rod 4 by a connecting rod. In addition, the lower ends of the vertical rods 4 and 4 are also integrated with each other by other connecting rods, so that the overall rigidity is increased.

[0023]

Embodiment 2 The following embodiment is an overall perspective view of FIG. 3, a rear view of FIG. 4, a right side view of FIG. 5, and an overall perspective view for explaining a mode of use of this harvesting cart of FIG. As can be understood from the figure, unlike the above-described embodiment, the field operating wheels 9, 9, ... are arranged so as to be parallel to the short rods 2, 2 of the horizontally long underframe K. This is a typical example in which K moves along the ridge direction while straddling one or more ridges and keeping its long rod axis perpendicular to the ridges.

The horizontally long frame K is a pair of left and right long rods 1,1.
And a harvesting container D which is integrated at right and left ends thereof at right angles.
Are formed so as to form a horizontally long rectangular frame by the short rods 2 and 2 which are set to have dimensions slightly shorter than the length of the plane in the longitudinal direction of the plane. The long rod 11 and the auxiliary short rod 21 are assembled so as to form a cross shape, and the inclined posture is held by the vertical rod 4 as in the above-described embodiment, and particularly, as shown in the side view of FIG. An angle adjusting bolt / nut 22 is removably inserted into the intersection of the rod 2 and the vertical rod 4, and the inclination posture of the horizontally long underframe K changes from about 45 ° to 0 ° depending on the use of the operator.
Can be changed appropriately in appropriate steps (eight steps in the drawing) set in about 2 to 10 steps.

On the outer side of each of the short rods 2, 2 of the horizontally long frame K, bearing frames 92, 92,... Can be formed so that their bearings can be formed on the side parallel to the short rods 2, 2. , Are provided, and the field operation wheels 9, 9,... Are removably mounted on the respective axles 91 in an arrangement in which the respective axles 91 are orthogonal to the short rods 2. In a state where the long rods 1, 1 are orthogonal to the direction of the ridges, these field operation wheels 9, 9,
... can move along the ridges along the ridges.

Although not shown, each axle 9 is mounted on the bearing frame 92, 92,.
If a structure is adopted in which the shaft 1 can be axially attached in a state parallel to the short rod 2 (that is, orthogonal to the long rod 1), the same state as that of the first embodiment (that is, the shaft of the long rod 1) is adopted. Harvesting cart that can also be used as a state in which the heart matches the direction of the ridges).
Alternatively, according to various conditions such as operator's convenience, all the field operation wheels 9, 9,.
By selecting and adopting the axial mounting direction at any time, there are two types, that is, the long rod 1, the bogie that can move with one axis centered in the direction of the ridge, and the length of the horizontal frame K. Rod 1,1
It is also possible to provide a harvesting trolley having a structure that can be selectively used with a trolley that can move with its axis perpendicular to the direction of the ridge.

The horizontal underframe K thus set to a predetermined inclined posture
However, for a harvesting cart that can be moved in a state in which the long rod 1, 1 axis of the horizontally long frame K is orthogonal to the direction of the ridge,
The material stand 6 and the tool box 7 having the structure shown in FIG. 3 are combined so as to be detachable. First, the material stand 6 is configured such that, after the harvest such as lettuce to be accommodated in the harvesting container D is packed in one stage at the bottom, the harvest at the second stage is not placed directly on the harvest, A cushioning sheet M, M,... For accommodating the objects in an isolated state each time, for example, has a cushioning function such as water resistance and elasticity made of corrugated cardboard or urethane foam mat and other materials, and is lightweight. Inexpensive flat plate (a flat plate slightly smaller than the flat shape of the harvesting container)
Have a case-like structure in which a large number of can be put together in a suitable position on the horizontally long underframe K in a state where they can be easily taken out. One or both of them can be attached by an appropriate structure that is detachable, and as shown in the perspective view of FIG. Will be combined and used. Needless to say, the material stand 6 can be appropriately structured depending on the shape of the target material.

Next, the tool box 7 includes various harvesting tools such as a cutting blade necessary for a harvesting operation in a field, an adhesive tape, a label, a string, and the like, and a horizontal frame frame K of the cart. Various tools for repairing when the inclination posture is adjusted to a convenient angle according to the convenience of the worker, or when a failure occurs in any part of the bogie, various small items required by the worker, etc. As can be understood from the overall perspective view of FIG. 3 and the rear view of FIG. 4, the horizontally long underframe K having a predetermined inclination posture is stored in the field operation wheels 9. , 9 for supporting vertical rods

[0030]

Fourth Embodiment As a last embodiment, the case shown in the overall perspective view of FIG. 8 is such that the upper part of the horizontally long frame K is covered with the rain avoiding cover 8, and the horizontally long frame K is fixed to a predetermined shape. Utilizing the vertical rods 4 and 4 held in the inclined posture, a pair of pipe frames 81 and 81 whose upper ends are bent in a bidding manner toward the upper side of the lower rod 1 of the horizontal frame K are raised. On the other hand, side sheets 83, 83 are formed on the left and right sides, and rainproof covers 8 are prepared by welding frame insertion pieces 82, 82,.
,... To the corresponding pipe frames 81, 81
, So that the rain avoiding cover 8 is attached to the outside of the pipe frames 81, 81.
The fixing cord 84 is passed through the eyelet metal fittings at the lower end corners of the side sheets 83, 83, and is tied to a proper position of the horizontally long underframe K immediately below, so that the whole is stretched without slack, so that the horizontally long underframe K is formed. The upper side of the state in which the harvesting containers D, D,... Are placed in series is placed on the lower long rod 1 side of the horizontally long frame K, that is, the harvested products are stored in the harvesting containers D, D,. This is realized by combining a cover with a structure in which the side on which the work is performed is open.

In the embodiment, each of the lower end edges of the rain avoiding cover 8 and the side sheets 83, 83 has a length that does not reach the horizontally long underframe K and has a halfway length. The structure is such that only the windshield is covered and the influence of the cross wind is minimized as much as possible. Of course, the structure is not limited to this structure. For this purpose, pipe frames 81, 81 can be used. Therefore, although not specifically shown, for example, straight frames are erected at the four corners of a horizontally long underframe K as in a normal hood structure, and The upper four corners of each frame are used as support parts, and rain-preventing covers 8 are stretched, or the portal frame used for the tunnel house is erected and fixed using the four corners of the horizontally long underframe K, and the outside halfway. Etc. and rain cover 8 in covering an appropriate sheet, it goes without saying that it is possible to combinations weatherproof cover 8 according to various structures.

[0032]

[Operation] The harvesting trolley of the present invention, which has the above-described configuration as a gist, has a predetermined tilting posture at a place where a large number of harvesting containers are gathered in advance near a field requiring harvesting work. On the horizontal landscape frame K, four harvesting containers D, D,..., According to the quality grade classification of the crop to be harvested, for example, S, M, L, LL, etc., .., Which are arranged side by side so as to be in series in the horizontal direction, and the field operating wheels 9, 9,... In the case of a harvesting trolley having a structure as shown in FIG. 4, a state in which the long rod 1, 1 axis of the horizontal frame K is arranged along the direction of the ridge (therefore, the field operating wheels 9, 9, and 9, 9, 9). Is one or more rows of ridges that are not targeted for harvesting, or straddles the ridges that have been harvested.) Assuming that the low-side long rod 1 side is in an inclined position where the worker can reach, for example, the harvesting trolley is located on the left side of the ridge to be harvested.
The operator cuts the crop from the right ridge while keeping the knee in the groove between the right ridge to be harvested and the harvesting trolley,
After being classified according to quality grade, the left harvesting containers D, D,.
The work of arranging the crops in a predetermined harvesting container D is repeated while checking the inside by peeping at any of the harvesting containers D corresponding to the length of the horizontal underframe K. When the harvesting and sorting and storing of the ridge crops in the range of the length of the rod 1 or a little longer than that are completed, the harvesting trolley of the present invention is immediately moved along the ridges to a position corresponding to the next harvest range. After that (it is necessary to stand up), do the same work as before, or move the trolley along the ridge little by little while continuing the harvest without moving at once (in this case, there is no need to stand up, The kneeling posture can be continued.) Then, the harvesting work is sequentially performed from the ridge.

On the other hand, if it is a harvesting trolley having a structure as shown in the second embodiment, for example, the field operating wheels 9, 9,... , Landscape base frame K
In the state where the long rod 1, 1 axis is orthogonal to the ridge (therefore, the field operating wheels 9, 9 and 9, 9 straddle at least two rows of ridges to be harvested),
In the inclined position, the long rod 1 on the lower side is positioned on the harvesting side, and the worker turns his / her back in the harvesting direction. Or an inclined posture in which the long rod 1 on the higher side is located on the harvesting side, and the worker faces behind the cart and faces in the harvesting direction. (In this working configuration, the bogie will move forward on the ridge to be harvested.) The crops are cut one after another from the ridges of the row, and are sorted according to the quality grade, and the crop containers D, which are inclined toward the front side in front of the eyes while standing with the knees without standing up one by one,
D,..., While repeatedly checking the inside by peeping at the corresponding harvesting container D, repeatedly arranging the crops in the predetermined harvesting container D, When the harvest is within reach, pull the trolley back and pull it back to the position where the next harvest is needed, or push the trolley forward and hide under the trolley until then Or dew the harvested crop,
We will proceed with the harvesting work sequentially.

In the process of proceeding with the harvesting operation in this manner, in the case of a harvest that requires the intermediary of the buffer sheet M for each stage, for example, harvesting of lettuce, as in the case shown in the second or third embodiment, It is assumed that the material stand 6 is previously installed at an appropriate position on the horizontal frame K to prepare a large number of buffer sheets M, M,..., And one buffer sheet M is easily taken out of each of them. Harvesting is carried out so as to be interposed on the harvested product, and the harvested product is contained in the harvesting containers D, D,..., And the harvest is filled with any of the harvesting containers D or D. ... (When the harvesting containers D, D,... For each grade are full on average, all the harvesting containers D, D,...) (Product name) and sealed with tools T such as adhesive tape, harvest After arranging them on the field without any obstacles after the work, allowing others to collect and move, the empty horizontal frame K is refilled with a new harvesting container D, and the harvesting work is further continued. Or even if there is a harvesting container D that does not become full, return to the initial location, lower the full harvesting container D, seal it, and place a new one on the empty horizontal frame K. The harvesting container D is refilled and returned to the ridge that has been harvested again.

It is to be noted that there is a possibility that rain may be encountered in the middle of the harvesting work, or when there is a concern about the influence of shallow haze or fog as in the case of early morning harvesting or harvesting in mountainous areas, or In the case where it is necessary to prevent the influence of strong sunlight on the harvested product during the work, the rain avoiding cover 8 typified by the structure described in the fourth embodiment is previously provided with the horizontally long underframe K.
A harvesting trolley attached to the garbage can be installed so that irreversible harvesting work can be performed as scheduled.
