 非特許文献1に記載の刈払機においては、メインパイプの延在方向に沿った振動が発生した場合、フレームの内部に埋設されたゴム部材が圧縮変形されることにより、当該振動を減衰させることになる。しかしながら、圧縮によるゴム部材の変形量は小さいため、非特許文献1に記載の刈払機は、メインパイプの延在方向に沿った振動に対する振動減衰能力に改善の余地がある。 In the brush cutter described in Non-Patent Document 1, when vibration occurs along the extending direction of the main pipe, the rubber member embedded inside the frame is compressed and deformed to attenuate the vibration. become. However, since the amount of deformation of the rubber member due to compression is small, the brush cutter described in Non-Patent Document 1 has room for improvement in the vibration damping ability against vibration along the extending direction of the main pipe.

It includes a subframe arranged apart from the main pipe in the direction, and a vibration isolator having an elastic member. The subframe suspends the main pipe via an elastic member. The elastic member is configured to bend and deform due to the relative movement of the main pipe along the first and second directions with respect to the subframe.

 (第1実施形態)
 以下に、第1実施形態に係る刈払機(以下「刈払機10」という)の説明を行う。
(First Embodiment)
The brush cutter (hereinafter referred to as "brush cutter 10") according to the first embodiment will be described below.
 <刈払機10の概略構成>
 図1は、刈払機10の側面図である。図2は、刈払機10の斜視図である。図1及び図2に示されるように、刈払機10は、エンジン1と、駆動軸2(図1及び図2において図示せず、図4及び図5参照)と、遠心クラッチ3と、ギアボックス4と、メインパイプ5と、サブフレーム6と、防振部7と、ハンドル8と、刈刃9とを有している。
<Outline configuration of brush cutter 10>
FIG. 1 is a side view of the brush cutter 10. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the brush cutter 10. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the brush cutter 10 includes an engine 1, a drive shaft 2 (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, see FIGS. 4 and 5), a centrifugal clutch 3, and a gearbox. It has 4, a main pipe 5, a subframe 6, a vibration isolator 7, a handle 8, and a cutting blade 9.
 エンジン1は、例えば、ガソリンエンジンである。駆動軸2は、遠心クラッチ3を介してエンジン1に取り付けられている。エンジン1の回転数が所定の閾値未満である場合、遠心クラッチ3は閉状態になっている。すなわち、エンジン1の回転数が所定の閾値未満である場合、エンジン1の動力は駆動軸2に伝達されず、駆動軸2は回転駆動されない。他方で、エンジン1の回転数が所定の閾値以上である場合、エンジン1の回転に伴う遠心力により遠心クラッチ3が開状態となり、エンジン1の動力が駆動軸2に伝達されるようになる(駆動軸2がその中心軸周りに回転するようになる)。 Engine 1 is, for example, a gasoline engine. The drive shaft 2 is attached to the engine 1 via a centrifugal clutch 3. When the rotation speed of the engine 1 is less than a predetermined threshold value, the centrifugal clutch 3 is in the closed state. That is, when the rotation speed of the engine 1 is less than a predetermined threshold value, the power of the engine 1 is not transmitted to the drive shaft 2, and the drive shaft 2 is not rotationally driven. On the other hand, when the rotation speed of the engine 1 is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the centrifugal clutch 3 is opened by the centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the engine 1, and the power of the engine 1 is transmitted to the drive shaft 2 ( The drive shaft 2 will rotate around its central axis).
 ギアボックス4は、駆動軸2の回転を減速してギアボックス4の出力軸に伝達する。ギアボックス4の出力軸の回転方向は、駆動軸2の回転方向と異なっている。すなわち、ギアボックス4は、駆動軸2の回転方向を変換する役割も担っている。ギアボックス4は、例えば、ベベルギアを組み合わせることにより構成されている。 The gearbox 4 slows down the rotation of the drive shaft 2 and transmits it to the output shaft of the gearbox 4. The rotation direction of the output shaft of the gearbox 4 is different from the rotation direction of the drive shaft 2. That is, the gearbox 4 also plays a role of changing the rotation direction of the drive shaft 2. The gearbox 4 is configured by, for example, combining bevel gears.
 メインパイプ5は、パイプ状(筒状)の部材である。すなわち、メインパイプ5の内部は、中空になっている。メインパイプ5は、第1方向DR1に沿って延在している。メインパイプ5の内部には、駆動軸2が収納されている。すなわち、メインパイプ5は、エンジン1によって回転駆動される駆動軸2が収納されるパイプ状の部材である。なお、メインパイプ5が第1方向に沿って延在している以上、駆動軸2も第1方向DR1に沿って延在していることになる。図示されていないが、駆動軸2は、メインパイプ5の内部において、軸受により、回転自在に軸支されている。 The main pipe 5 is a pipe-shaped (cylindrical) member. That is, the inside of the main pipe 5 is hollow. The main pipe 5 extends along the first direction DR1. The drive shaft 2 is housed inside the main pipe 5. That is, the main pipe 5 is a pipe-shaped member in which the drive shaft 2 rotationally driven by the engine 1 is housed. As long as the main pipe 5 extends along the first direction, the drive shaft 2 also extends along the first direction DR1. Although not shown, the drive shaft 2 is rotatably supported by bearings inside the main pipe 5.
 サブフレーム6は、第1方向DR1に沿って延在している棒状の部材である。サブフレーム6は、第2方向DR2において、メインパイプ5と離間するように配置されている。第2方向DR2は、第1方向DR1に直交している方向である。第1方向DR1におけるサブフレーム6のメインパイプ5に対する相対的な位置は、変更可能になっている。 The subframe 6 is a rod-shaped member extending along the first direction DR1. The subframe 6 is arranged so as to be separated from the main pipe 5 in the second direction DR2. The second direction DR2 is a direction orthogonal to the first direction DR1. The position of the subframe 6 relative to the main pipe 5 in the first direction DR1 can be changed.
 防振部7は、刈払機10において発生している振動がサブフレーム6に伝わることを抑制するとともに、サブフレーム6にメインパイプ5を吊り下げるための構造である。防振部7の数は、例えば2であり、それぞれ第1方向DR1におけるサブフレーム6の両端部に位置している。防振部7の詳細構成は、後述する。 The vibration isolator 7 has a structure for suppressing the vibration generated in the brush cutter 10 from being transmitted to the subframe 6 and suspending the main pipe 5 from the subframe 6. The number of anti-vibration portions 7 is, for example, 2, and they are located at both ends of the subframe 6 in the first direction DR1. The detailed configuration of the vibration isolator 7 will be described later.
 ハンドル8は、使用者が刈払機10を保持するための部分である。ハンドル8は、グリップ部8a及びグリップ部8bを有しており、使用者は、グリップ部8a及びグリップ部8bを握持することにより、刈払機10を保持する。ハンドル8は、例えば、固定金具8cによりサブフレーム6に取り付けられている。ハンドル8は、固定金具8cを緩めることにより、第1方向DR1におけるハンドル8のサブフレーム6に対する位置が、変更可能になる。 The handle 8 is a part for the user to hold the brush cutter 10. The handle 8 has a grip portion 8a and a grip portion 8b, and the user holds the brush cutter 10 by grasping the grip portion 8a and the grip portion 8b. The handle 8 is attached to the subframe 6 by, for example, a fixing bracket 8c. By loosening the fixing bracket 8c, the position of the handle 8 with respect to the subframe 6 in the first direction DR1 can be changed.
 刈刃9は、ギアボックス4の出力軸に取り付けられている。刈刃9は、例えば、刈刃取付金具を用いて、ギアボックス4の出力軸に取り付けられている。そのため、エンジン1を駆動することにより、刈刃9が回転駆動される。刈刃9の近傍には、飛散防止部材9aが取り付けられている。これにより、回転する刈刃9に接触した物体が使用者に向かって飛散することが抑制されている。 The cutting blade 9 is attached to the output shaft of the gearbox 4. The cutting blade 9 is attached to the output shaft of the gearbox 4 by using, for example, a cutting blade mounting bracket. Therefore, by driving the engine 1, the cutting blade 9 is rotationally driven. A shatterproof member 9a is attached in the vicinity of the cutting blade 9. As a result, the object in contact with the rotating cutting blade 9 is suppressed from scattering toward the user.
 <防振部7の詳細構成>
 図3は、図1の領域IIIにおける拡大図である。図4は、図3のIV-IVにおける断面図である。図5は、図4のV-Vにおける断面図である。図3~図5に示されるように、防振部7は、第1部分71と、第2部分72と、弾性部材73と、脱落防止部材74とを有している。
<Detailed configuration of vibration isolation unit 7>
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of region III of FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VV of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the vibration isolator 7 has a first portion 71, a second portion 72, an elastic member 73, and a fall-out prevention member 74.

 第1部材71aは、第1側壁部71aaと、第2側壁部71abと、上壁部71acとを有している。第1側壁部71aa及び第2側壁部71abは、第3方向DR3において互いに対向している。第3方向DR3は、第1方向DR1及び第2方向DR2の双方に直交している方向である。上壁部71acは、第1側壁部71aaの上端と第2側壁部71abの上端とを連結している。すなわち、第1部材71aは、第1方向DR1から見て、U字形状を有している。 The first member 71a has a first side wall portion 71aa, a second side wall portion 71ab, and an upper wall portion 71ac. The first side wall portion 71aa and the second side wall portion 71ab face each other in the third direction DR3. The third direction DR3 is a direction orthogonal to both the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. The upper wall portion 71ac connects the upper end of the first side wall portion 71aa and the upper end of the second side wall portion 71ab. That is, the first member 71a has a U-shape when viewed from the first direction DR1.
 第2部材71bは、第1側壁部71aaの第2側壁部71abに対向している側の面に固定されている。第3部材71cは、第2側壁部71abの第1側壁部71aaに対向している側の面に固定されている。第2部材71b及び第3部材71cは、第3方向DR3において互いに対向配置されている。 The second member 71b is fixed to the surface of the first side wall portion 71aa on the side facing the second side wall portion 71ab. The third member 71c is fixed to the surface of the second side wall portion 71ab on the side facing the first side wall portion 71aa. The second member 71b and the third member 71c are arranged to face each other in the third direction DR3.
 第4部材71dは、上壁部71acに固定されている。第4部材71dと第1部材71a(上壁部71ac)とにより、挿入穴71daが画されている。挿入穴71daには、サブフレーム6の端部が挿入されている。これにより、第1部分71は、サブフレーム6に取り付けられている。 The fourth member 71d is fixed to the upper wall portion 71ac. The insertion hole 71da is defined by the fourth member 71d and the first member 71a (upper wall portion 71ac). The end of the subframe 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 71da. As a result, the first portion 71 is attached to the subframe 6.
 第2部分72は、第1部材72aと、第2部材72bと、第3部材72cとを有している。第2部分72には、第1挿入穴72dと、第2挿入穴72eとが形成されている。 The second portion 72 has a first member 72a, a second member 72b, and a third member 72c. A first insertion hole 72d and a second insertion hole 72e are formed in the second portion 72.
 第1部材72aは、第1面72aaと、第2面72abとを有している。第1面72aaは、サブフレーム6側を向いている面である。第2面72abは、第2方向DR2における第1面72aaの反対面である。すなわち、第2面72abは、メインパイプ5側を向いている面である。 The first member 72a has a first surface 72aa and a second surface 72ab. The first surface 72aa is a surface facing the subframe 6 side. The second surface 72ab is the opposite surface of the first surface 72aa in the second direction DR2. That is, the second surface 72ab is a surface facing the main pipe 5 side.
 第1面72aaには、溝72acが形成されている。第1面72aaは、溝72acにおいて、第2面72ab側に窪んでいる。溝72acは、第3方向DR3に沿って延在している。溝72ac内に位置する第1面72aaには、凸部72adが形成されている。凸部72adは、第2方向DR2に沿って溝72aa内にある第1面72aaから突出している。第2面72abには、溝72aeが形成されている。第2面72abは、溝72aeにおいて、第1面72aa側に窪んでいる。溝72aeは、第1方向DR1に沿って延在している。 A groove 72ac is formed on the first surface 72aa. The first surface 72aa is recessed on the second surface 72ab side in the groove 72ac. The groove 72ac extends along the third direction DR3. A convex portion 72ad is formed on the first surface 72aa located in the groove 72ac. The convex portion 72ad protrudes from the first surface 72aa in the groove 72aa along the second direction DR2. A groove 72ae is formed on the second surface 72ab. The second surface 72ab is recessed on the first surface 72aa side in the groove 72ae. The groove 72ae extends along the first direction DR1.
 第1部材72aは、さらに、第1側面72afと、第2側面72agとをさらに有している(図6参照)。第1側面72afは、第1側壁部71aa側を向いている第1部材72aの側面であり、第2側面72agは、第2側壁部71ab側を向いている第1部材72aの側面である。第1側面72afには、溝72ahが形成されており、第2側面72agには、溝72aiが形成されている。溝72ah及び溝72aiは、第1面72aaから第2面72ab側に向かって延在している。 The first member 72a further has a first side surface 72af and a second side surface 72ag (see FIG. 6). The first side surface 72af is the side surface of the first member 72a facing the first side wall portion 71aa side, and the second side surface 72ag is the side surface of the first member 72a facing the second side wall portion 71ab side. A groove 72ah is formed on the first side surface 72af, and a groove 72ai is formed on the second side surface 72ag. The groove 72ah and the groove 72ai extend from the first surface 72aa toward the second surface 72ab side.
 第2部材72bは、湾曲部72baと、第1平坦部72bbと、第2平坦部72bcとを有している。第1平坦部72bbは、湾曲部72baの第1方向DR1における一方端部に連なっており、第2平坦部72bcは、湾曲部72baの第1方向DR1における他方端部に連なっている。第2部材72bは、第1平坦部72bb及び第2平坦部72bcにおいて、第1面72aaに固定されている。湾曲部72baと溝72acとにより、第1挿入穴72dが画されている。第1挿入穴72dは、第3方向DR3に沿って延在している。なお、溝72ahの上端及び溝72aiの上端は、第2部材72bにより閉じられている。 The second member 72b has a curved portion 72ba, a first flat portion 72bb, and a second flat portion 72bc. The first flat portion 72bb is connected to one end of the curved portion 72ba in the first direction DR1, and the second flat portion 72bb is connected to the other end of the curved portion 72ba in the first direction DR1. The second member 72b is fixed to the first surface 72aa at the first flat portion 72bb and the second flat portion 72bc. The first insertion hole 72d is defined by the curved portion 72ba and the groove 72ac. The first insertion hole 72d extends along the third direction DR3. The upper end of the groove 72ah and the upper end of the groove 72ai are closed by the second member 72b.
 第3部材72cは、湾曲部72caと、第1平坦部72cbと、第2平坦部72ccとを有している。第1平坦部72cbは、湾曲部72caの第3方向DR3における一方端部に連なっており、第2平坦部72ccは、湾曲部72caの第3方向DR3における他方端部に連なっている。第3部材72cは、第1平坦部72cb及び第2平坦部72ccにおいて、第2面72abに固定されている。湾曲部72caと溝72aeとにより、第2挿入穴72eが画されている。第2挿入穴72eは、第1方向DR1に沿って延在している。 The third member 72c has a curved portion 72ca, a first flat portion 72cc, and a second flat portion 72cc. The first flat portion 72cc is connected to one end of the curved portion 72ca in the third direction DR3, and the second flat portion 72cc is connected to the other end of the curved portion 72ca in the third direction DR3. The third member 72c is fixed to the second surface 72ab at the first flat portion 72cc and the second flat portion 72cc. The second insertion hole 72e is defined by the curved portion 72ca and the groove 72ae. The second insertion hole 72e extends along the first direction DR1.
 第2挿入穴72eには、メインパイプ5が挿入されている。メインパイプ5は、第3部材72cが第2面72abに固定されている状態では、第2挿入穴72eに対してスライド不能であるが、第3部材72cの第2面72abへの固定を緩めることにより、第2挿入穴72eに対してスライド可能になる。これにより、サブフレーム6は、第1方向DR1におけるメインパイプ5に対する位置が変更可能になっている。 The main pipe 5 is inserted into the second insertion hole 72e. The main pipe 5 cannot slide with respect to the second insertion hole 72e when the third member 72c is fixed to the second surface 72ab, but loosens the fixing of the third member 72c to the second surface 72ab. This makes it slidable with respect to the second insertion hole 72e. As a result, the position of the subframe 6 with respect to the main pipe 5 in the first direction DR1 can be changed.
 弾性部材73は、刈払機10においては、ゴム部材である。ゴム部材は、ゴム材料により形成された部材である。弾性部材73は、第1挿入穴72dに挿入されている。弾性部材73の長手方向は、第3方向DR3に沿っている。弾性部材73の長手方向における両端部は、それぞれ第2部材71b及び第3部材71cに接着等により固定されている。これにより、第2部分72は、第1部分71に吊り下げられている。 The elastic member 73 is a rubber member in the brush cutter 10. The rubber member is a member formed of a rubber material. The elastic member 73 is inserted into the first insertion hole 72d. The longitudinal direction of the elastic member 73 is along the third direction DR3. Both ends of the elastic member 73 in the longitudinal direction are fixed to the second member 71b and the third member 71c by adhesion or the like, respectively. As a result, the second portion 72 is suspended from the first portion 71.
 弾性部材73は、第2方向DR2において、メインパイプ5とサブフレーム6との間に位置している。第2部材72bが第1面72aaに固定された状態において、弾性部材73は、第1挿入穴72dに対してスライド不能になっている。 The elastic member 73 is located between the main pipe 5 and the subframe 6 in the second direction DR2. In a state where the second member 72b is fixed to the first surface 72aa, the elastic member 73 cannot slide with respect to the first insertion hole 72d.
 弾性部材73は、その長手方向に沿って(第3方向DR3に沿って)、第1軸部73aと、第2軸部73bと、第3軸部73cとを有している。第1軸部73aは、第3方向DR3において、第2軸部73b及び第3軸部73cにより挟み込まれている。第1軸部73aの外周面には、溝73aaが形成されている。溝73aaには、凸部72adが挿入されている。 The elastic member 73 has a first shaft portion 73a, a second shaft portion 73b, and a third shaft portion 73c along the longitudinal direction thereof (along the third direction DR3). The first shaft portion 73a is sandwiched between the second shaft portion 73b and the third shaft portion 73c in the third direction DR3. A groove 73aa is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft portion 73a. A convex portion 72ad is inserted into the groove 73aa.
 第3方向DR3に直交する断面での第2軸部73b及び第3軸部73cの断面積は、第3方向DR3に直交する断面での第1軸部73aの断面積よりも小さいことが好ましい。第1軸部73aの外周面は、第2軸部73bの外周面及び第3軸部73cの外周面に滑らかに連なっていることが好ましい。 The cross-sectional area of the second shaft portion 73b and the third shaft portion 73c in the cross section orthogonal to the third direction DR3 is preferably smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first shaft portion 73a in the cross section orthogonal to the third direction DR3. .. It is preferable that the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft portion 73a is smoothly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 73b and the outer peripheral surface of the third shaft portion 73c.
 図6は、第1部分71の表示を省略した防振部7の側面図である。図6に示されるように、脱落防止部材74は、先端が溝72ahに達するように、第1側壁部71aaに形成された貫通穴に挿入されている。他の脱落防止部材74は、先端が溝72aiに達するように、第2側壁部71abに形成された貫通穴に挿入されている。なお、図6中においては、脱落防止部材74の先端が、点線により示されている。これにより、弾性部材73が断裂したとしても、第2部分72が、脱落防止部材74により第1部分71に吊り下げられることになる。 FIG. 6 is a side view of the vibration isolator portion 7 in which the display of the first portion 71 is omitted. As shown in FIG. 6, the dropout prevention member 74 is inserted into a through hole formed in the first side wall portion 71aa so that the tip reaches the groove 72ah. The other dropout prevention member 74 is inserted into a through hole formed in the second side wall portion 71ab so that the tip reaches the groove 72ai. In FIG. 6, the tip of the dropout prevention member 74 is indicated by a dotted line. As a result, even if the elastic member 73 is torn, the second portion 72 is suspended from the first portion 71 by the dropout prevention member 74.
 <刈払機10の効果>
 刈払機の使用時には、エンジン内での燃料の爆発、各構成部品の加工精度や取付精度等に起因して様々な振動が発生する。刈払機の使用者に対する振動障害の予防措置として、使用者の日振動ばく露量に関する規制が行われている。
<Effect of brush cutter 10>
When using a brush cutter, various vibrations occur due to the explosion of fuel in the engine, the processing accuracy and mounting accuracy of each component, and so on. As a preventive measure against vibration damage to brush cutter users, there are regulations on the amount of daily vibration exposure of users.
 刈払機10においては、メインパイプ5が弾性部材73を介してサブフレーム6に吊り下げられているとともに、弾性部材73(ゴム部材)の長手方向が第3方向DR3(メインパイプ5の延在方向)に沿っているため、メインパイプ5が第1方向DR1に沿って移動するような振動が生じた場合、当該振動は、弾性部材73を曲げ変形させる。ゴム部材は、圧縮変形を受ける場合よりも曲げ変形を受ける場合の方が変形しやすく、変形量が大きいほど、振動の減衰効果が大きい。そのため、刈払機10によると、メインパイプ5が第1方向DR1に沿って移動するような振動に対する振動減衰効果が改善される。 In the mowing machine 10, the main pipe 5 is suspended from the subframe 6 via the elastic member 73, and the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 73 (rubber member) is the third direction DR3 (extending direction of the main pipe 5). ), So when a vibration occurs that causes the main pipe 5 to move along the first direction DR1, the vibration bends and deforms the elastic member 73. The rubber member is more easily deformed when it is subjected to bending deformation than when it is subjected to compression deformation, and the larger the amount of deformation, the greater the damping effect of vibration. Therefore, according to the brush cutter 10, the vibration damping effect against vibration such that the main pipe 5 moves along the first direction DR1 is improved.
 また、弾性部材73の長手方向が第3方向DR3に沿っているため、メインパイプ5が第2方向DR2に沿って移動するような振動も、弾性部材73を曲げ変形させる。そのため、刈払機10によると、メインパイプ5が第2方向DR2に沿って移動するような振動に対する振動減衰効果も改善される。 Further, since the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 73 is along the third direction DR3, the vibration such that the main pipe 5 moves along the second direction DR2 also bends and deforms the elastic member 73. Therefore, according to the brush cutter 10, the vibration damping effect against vibration such that the main pipe 5 moves along the second direction DR2 is also improved.
 弾性部材73が第2方向DR2においてメインパイプ5とサブフレーム6との間に位置している場合、メインパイプ5が第3方向DR3に沿って移動するような振動によっても弾性部材73が曲げ変形しやすくなる。そのため、この場合には、メインパイプ5が第2方向DR2に沿って移動するような振動に対する振動減衰効果も改善される。 When the elastic member 73 is located between the main pipe 5 and the subframe 6 in the second direction DR2, the elastic member 73 is bent and deformed by vibration such that the main pipe 5 moves along the third direction DR3. It will be easier to do. Therefore, in this case, the vibration damping effect on the vibration such that the main pipe 5 moves along the second direction DR2 is also improved.
 第3方向DR3に直交する断面での第2軸部73b及び第3軸部73cの断面積が第3方向DR3に直交する断面での第1軸部73aの断面積よりも小さい場合、弾性部材73の固定端部に近い位置において曲げ剛性が低下するため、弾性部材73の曲げ変形がさらに生じやすくなる。そのため、この場合には、弾性部材73による振動減衰効果がさらに改善される。 When the cross-sectional area of the second shaft portion 73b and the third shaft portion 73c in the cross section orthogonal to the third direction DR3 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first shaft portion 73a in the cross section orthogonal to the third direction DR3, the elastic member Since the bending rigidity is lowered at a position close to the fixed end portion of the 73, the bending deformation of the elastic member 73 is more likely to occur. Therefore, in this case, the vibration damping effect of the elastic member 73 is further improved.
 第1軸部73aの外周面が第2軸部73bの外周面及び第3軸部73cの外周面に滑らかに連なっている場合、弾性部材73に曲げ変形が生じた際に、弾性部材73の外周面における応力集中が生じにくくなるため、弾性部材73の断裂を抑制できる。 When the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft portion 73a is smoothly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 73b and the outer peripheral surface of the third shaft portion 73c, when the elastic member 73 is bent and deformed, the elastic member 73 Since stress concentration on the outer peripheral surface is less likely to occur, tearing of the elastic member 73 can be suppressed.
 本発明者らが見出した知見によると、メインパイプ5の振動は、第1方向DR1における位置によって強弱がある。そのため、第1方向DR1におけるサブフレーム6のメインパイプ5に対する位置が変更可能になっている場合、使用者に伝わる振動をさらに低減することができる。第1方向DR1におけるハンドル8のサブフレーム6に対する位置が変更可能である場合、使用者の体格に合わせてハンドル8の取り付け位置を変更することができる。 According to the findings found by the present inventors, the vibration of the main pipe 5 varies depending on the position in the first direction DR1. Therefore, when the position of the subframe 6 with respect to the main pipe 5 in the first direction DR1 can be changed, the vibration transmitted to the user can be further reduced. When the position of the handle 8 with respect to the subframe 6 in the first direction DR1 can be changed, the mounting position of the handle 8 can be changed according to the physique of the user.

 以下に、第2実施形態に係る刈払機(以下「刈払機10A」という)の説明を行う。ここでは、刈払機10と異なる点を主に説明し、重複する説明は繰り返さない。
(Second Embodiment)
The brush cutter according to the second embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "brush cutter 10A") will be described below. Here, the differences from the brush cutter 10 will be mainly described, and the overlapping description will not be repeated.
 刈払機10Aは、エンジン1と、駆動軸2と、遠心クラッチ3と、ギアボックス4と、メインパイプ5と、サブフレーム6と、防振部7と、ハンドル8と、刈刃9とを有している。これらの点に関して、刈払機10Aの構成は、刈払機10の構成と共通している。 The brush cutter 10A includes an engine 1, a drive shaft 2, a centrifugal clutch 3, a gearbox 4, a main pipe 5, a subframe 6, a vibration isolator 7, a handle 8, and a cutting blade 9. doing. In these respects, the configuration of the brush cutter 10A is common to the configuration of the brush cutter 10.
 図7は、第1方向DR1に直交する断面視での刈払機10Aの防振部7における断面図である。図7に示されるように、防振部7は、第1部分71と、第2部分72と、弾性部材73とを有している。これらの点に関して、刈払機10Aの防振部7における構成は、刈払機10の防振部7における構成と共通している。 FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10A in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the first direction DR1. As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration isolator 7 has a first portion 71, a second portion 72, and an elastic member 73. With respect to these points, the configuration of the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10A is common to the configuration of the vibration isolation unit 7 of the brush cutter 10.
 しかしながら、第1部分71の詳細構成、第2部分72の詳細構成及び弾性部材73の詳細構成に関して、刈払機10Aの防振部7は、刈払機10の防振部7と異なっている。 However, the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10A is different from the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10 with respect to the detailed configuration of the first portion 71, the detailed configuration of the second portion 72, and the detailed configuration of the elastic member 73.
 第1部分71は、第1部材71a及び第4部材71dを有しているが、第2部材71b及び第3部材71cを有していない。第2部分72(第1部材72a)には、溝72ah及び溝72aiが形成されていない。 The first part 71 has a first member 71a and a fourth member 71d, but does not have a second member 71b and a third member 71c. A groove 72ah and a groove 72ai are not formed in the second portion 72 (first member 72a).
 弾性部材73は、コイルばねである。コイルばねは、その軸方向が第3方向DR3に沿うように配置されている。コイルばねの両端部は、それぞれ、第1側壁部71aa及び第2側壁部71abにネジ等でにより固定されている。第2部分72は、弾性部材73(コイルばね)により第1部分71に吊り下げられている。 The elastic member 73 is a coil spring. The coil spring is arranged so that its axial direction is along the third direction DR3. Both ends of the coil spring are fixed to the first side wall portion 71aa and the second side wall portion 71ab by screws or the like, respectively. The second portion 72 is suspended from the first portion 71 by an elastic member 73 (coil spring).
 刈払機10Aにおいては、第1方向DR1及び第2方向DR2に沿ったメインパイプ5のサブフレーム6に対する相対的な移動により、弾性部材73(コイルばね)が曲げ変形するため、刈払機10と同様に、振動減衰能力を改善することができる。 In the brush cutter 10A, the elastic member 73 (coil spring) is bent and deformed by the relative movement of the main pipe 5 with respect to the subframe 6 along the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2, so that the brush cutter 10A is the same as the brush cutter 10. In addition, the vibration damping capacity can be improved.
 (第3実施形態)
 以下に、第3実施形態に係る刈払機(以下「刈払機10B」という)の説明を行う。ここでは、刈払機10と異なる点を主に説明し、重複する説明は繰り返さない。
(Third Embodiment)
The brush cutter according to the third embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "brush cutter 10B") will be described below. Here, the differences from the brush cutter 10 will be mainly described, and the overlapping description will not be repeated.
 刈払機10Bは、エンジン1と、駆動軸2と、遠心クラッチ3と、ギアボックス4と、メインパイプ5と、サブフレーム6と、防振部7と、ハンドル8と、刈刃9とを有している。これらの点に関して、刈払機10Bの構成は、刈払機10の構成と共通している。 The brush cutter 10B includes an engine 1, a drive shaft 2, a centrifugal clutch 3, a gearbox 4, a main pipe 5, a subframe 6, a vibration isolator 7, a handle 8, and a cutting blade 9. doing. In these respects, the configuration of the brush cutter 10B is common to the configuration of the brush cutter 10.
 図8は、第1方向DR1に直交する断面視での刈払機10Bの防振部7における断面図である。図8に示されるように、防振部7は、第1部分71と、第2部分72と、弾性部材73と、脱落防止部材74とを有している。これらの点に関して、刈払機10Bの防振部7における構成は、刈払機10の防振部7における構成と共通している。 FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10B in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the first direction DR1. As shown in FIG. 8, the anti-vibration portion 7 has a first portion 71, a second portion 72, an elastic member 73, and a fall-out prevention member 74. With respect to these points, the configuration of the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10B is common to the configuration of the vibration isolation unit 7 of the brush cutter 10.
 しかしながら、第2部分72の詳細構成及び弾性部材73の詳細構成に関して、刈払機10Bの防振部7は、刈払機10の防振部7と異なっている。 However, regarding the detailed configuration of the second portion 72 and the detailed configuration of the elastic member 73, the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10B is different from the vibration isolator 7 of the brush cutter 10.
 第2部分72は、第1部材72a、第2部材72b及び第3部材72cに加え、第4部材72f及び第5部材72gを有している。第4部材72f及び第5部材72gは、それぞれ、第2方向DR2に沿って延在しており、第1部材72aと第2部材72bとに挟み込まれている。なお、第1部材72aには、凸部72adが形成されていない。 The second portion 72 has a fourth member 72f and a fifth member 72g in addition to the first member 72a, the second member 72b, and the third member 72c. The fourth member 72f and the fifth member 72g extend along the second direction DR2, respectively, and are sandwiched between the first member 72a and the second member 72b. The convex portion 72ad is not formed on the first member 72a.
 弾性部材73の数は、2つである(2つの弾性部材73を、それぞれ、弾性部材73d及び弾性部材73eという)。弾性部材73d及び弾性部材73eは、ゴム部材である。弾性部材73dの長手方向及び弾性部材73eの長手方向は、第3方向DR3に沿っている。弾性部材73dの一方端は第2部材71bに固定されており、弾性部材73dの他方端は第5部材72gに固定されている。弾性部材73eの一方端は第3部材71cに固定されており、弾性部材73eの他方端は第4部材72fに固定されている。これにより、第2部分72は、弾性部材73d及び弾性部材73eで第1部分71に吊り下げられている。 The number of elastic members 73 is two (the two elastic members 73 are referred to as elastic members 73d and elastic members 73e, respectively). The elastic member 73d and the elastic member 73e are rubber members. The longitudinal direction of the elastic member 73d and the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 73e are along the third direction DR3. One end of the elastic member 73d is fixed to the second member 71b, and the other end of the elastic member 73d is fixed to the fifth member 72g. One end of the elastic member 73e is fixed to the third member 71c, and the other end of the elastic member 73e is fixed to the fourth member 72f. As a result, the second portion 72 is suspended from the first portion 71 by the elastic member 73d and the elastic member 73e.
 刈払機10Bにおいては、第1方向DR1及び第2方向DR2に沿ったメインパイプ5のサブフレーム6に対する相対的な移動により、ゴム部材である弾性部材73d及び弾性部材73eが曲げ変形するため、刈払機10と同様に、振動減衰能力を改善することができる。 In the brush cutter 10B, the elastic member 73d and the elastic member 73e, which are rubber members, are bent and deformed due to the relative movement of the main pipe 5 with respect to the subframe 6 along the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. Similar to the brush cutter 10, the vibration damping ability can be improved.
