According to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the connecting member 2 is provided with a receiving plate member 22 extending in the left-right direction at an upper end of a column 21 inserted into the ground. A support plate member 23 is provided along the length direction on the upper surface of the support plate 22, and a cylindrical connecting portion 24 whose both ends are open is provided at the upper end of the support plate member 23.

The connecting portion 24 has female portions 2 at both open ends.
5 are formed, and the ends of the rail members 3 are tightly connected to each other in a watertight manner. A flat connecting rail surface 26 is formed on the upper surface of the connecting portion 24.

The rail member 3 is, for example, a hollow pipe formed by extruding aluminum or formed of another metal. The cross section of the rail member 3 has the same shape as the cross section of the connecting portion 24 of the connecting member 2 and passes through the inside of the hollow. A water channel 31 is formed.

On the lower surface of the rail member 3, small irrigation holes 32 are formed at appropriate intervals, and a flat rail surface 33 is formed on the upper surface. A male part 34 that can be fitted to the part 25 is formed.

In order to install the agricultural machine rail device 1 of the present invention having the above-described configuration on an agricultural field, the supporting plate 2
3 is buried in the ground from the middle of the height to protrude the connecting portion 24 to the ground surface, stabilize the connecting material 2 in the ground by the receiving plate member 22, and receive the load applied to the upper surface. . In this way, when the connecting members 2 are provided in parallel at appropriate intervals along, for example, ridges of the agricultural land, the rail members 3 are arranged between the adjacent connecting members 2 and the ring member 4 is interposed. The portion 34 is fitted to the female portion 25, and the screw 5 is fastened to the fitted portion of the female portion 25 from the outside, so that the connecting portion 24 of the connecting member 2 and the rail member 3 are firmly connected.

After the rail members 3 are erected and connected between the connecting members 2 as described above, the agricultural machine rail device 1 is installed along the ridges. And the water passage 31 of the rail material 3
Are connected in series by the hollow inside of the connecting portion 24,
When a liquid such as water or a liquid fertilizer is pumped from one rail material 3 at one end, the liquid passes through the water passage 31 of each rail material 3 and is sprayed downward from each irrigation hole 32 to be irrigated on the agricultural land. Can be.

Further, since the rail surface 3 of each rail member 3 is continuous with the connecting rail surface 26 of the connecting member 2 due to the connection between the rail member 3 and the connecting member 2, the rails extend along the rail device 1 for agricultural machinery. The surface 33 allows the agricultural machine to run. In this case, if two rail materials 3 are installed in parallel as a rail device 1 for an agricultural machine on an agricultural land,
Agricultural machines with wheels on the left and right can be run,
In addition, if one rail member 3 is used as the rail device 1 for an agricultural machine, a unicycle agricultural machine or a hand-held agricultural machine can be run. When the agricultural machine travels on the agricultural machine rail device 1, the own weight acts on the connecting member 2, but since the receiving plate member 22 is buried under the ground, the own weight of the agricultural machine can be reliably received. The agricultural machine rail device 1 does not descend.

In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, what is formed on the lower surface of the rail member 3 is not a small hole 32 for irrigation but a slit 35 along the length direction. In the hollow interior formed by connecting the material 2 and the rail material 3,

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, water can be irrigated along the rail device 1 for agricultural machinery by pumping water, liquid fertilizer, etc. from the tip of the pipe member 6 for water irrigating. In particular, since there is no connecting portion between the connecting member 2 and the rail member 3 as in the first embodiment, the passing liquid does not leak out of the connecting portion, and the connection between the connecting member 2 and the rail member 3 does not occur. There is no need to treat the connection parts watertight. Also,
Since the upper surfaces of the connecting member 2 and the rail member 3 are a series of rail surfaces, the agricultural machine can run stably.
