Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention mainly relates to a tank used for transporting grains stacked in bulk in the grain tank of a combine harvester to a location where a dryer is installed.

Currently, grains harvested with combine harvesters are
After bagging, the paddy is transported to a drying area, but since the paddy bags are quite heavy and there are many bags, a lot of effort is required to load and unload the bags, which makes it difficult for women and the elderly to carry the rice. In some cases, it is hard labor.

In contrast, some combine harvesters are equipped with large grain tanks, in which the grain is first loaded in bulk, then transferred to a transport vehicle and transported to the drying area, but this requires a special vehicle for transport. However, ordinary trucks do not have sufficient loading capacity and are inconvenient for unloading at drying areas.

This invention aims to provide a grain tank that can be easily used to transport grain from a combine harvester to a drying area, is easy to store and transport, and is inexpensive.The details will be explained based on the illustrated example. , as follows.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the tank body 1 is mounted on a predetermined loading platform M, such as a truck loading platform or a towing cart loading platform.
The lower part 1a is made of sheet metal, and the upper part 1b is made of a metal frame 2, which is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the metal frame 2 can be disassembled. Further, the metal frame 2 can be attached to and detached from the lower part 1a of the main body 1.

A cloth body 3 such as a canvas is removably provided on a metal frame 2 to which the tank body 1 is assembled. That is, the cloth body 3 is attached to the metal frame 2
A plurality of hooks 4 are provided at predetermined intervals on the side edges, and a belt 5 is provided on the outer periphery of the lower end of the opening. Reference numeral 6 denotes a fixing fitting for fixing the tank body 1 to the side plate of the loading platform M.

In the case of the grain tank having the above structure, when the tank is not in use, the cloth body 3 can be folded and the metal frame 2, which forms the upper part 1b of the tank body 1, can be disassembled and stored. It is convenient because it does not take up a lot of storage space when it is not needed. Also, when a tank is required, assemble the metal frame 2,
The upper part of the tank body 1 can be easily covered with the cloth body 3.

In addition, the grain tank of the said Example is equipped with various apparatuses as shown in the figure. That is, a V-shaped downstream guide plate 7 is provided at the inner bottom of the lower portion 1a of the tank body 1, and a screw conveyor 8 for delivery is installed along the bottom of the guide plate 7. A screw conveyor 9 for extending the required length is detachably connected to the discharge end 8a of the screw conveyor 8, and is driven to rotate integrally with the screw inside the screw conveyor 9.

In use, the tank is placed on the loading platform M of the assembled truck so that the discharge port faces rearward, and is fixed in that position with the fixing fittings 6. Next, it is transported near the combine harvester by truck,
Store the grain inside. When this tank returns to the drying area with the truck, an extension conveyor 9 is connected to the discharge step 8a of the conveyor 8,
Each conveyor is rotated to transport the grains in the tank to a predetermined location.

In this way, as is clear from the above explanation, the present invention makes it possible to separate the upper and lower parts of the tank body, which can be placed on a predetermined loading platform such as a truck, and also allows the upper part of the tank body to be disassembled. Since the tank body is constructed of a metal frame, and the assembled metal frame can be covered with a removable cloth body, the tank body can be made small and stored when it is not needed, which is very convenient.

In addition, since the tank can be assembled when necessary and transported by placing the tank body on a truck owned by many farmers, it is extremely inexpensive and easy to use compared to a dedicated vehicle.
