[Figure 10] A partial side view of an agricultural machine according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes an agricultural working machine, which is a large onion processing machine for performing predetermined agricultural operations (processing) on, for example, onions T as agricultural crops.

[0014] That is, the agricultural working machine 1 is a stationary type that can cut the foliage part, which is a longitudinal unnecessary part of the dried onions T to be processed, in a state where it is placed (installed) at a predetermined position (such as a position near the field) on a placement surface S such as the ground.

[0015] Further, after the agricultural working machine 1 is changed from the working state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the towing state shown in FIG. 3, it can be towed using a tractor or the like, which is a towing vehicle not shown.

[0016] The agricultural working machine 1 includes a longitudinally long body 2 in the front-rear direction that can be stationary at a predetermined position on the placement surface S. On the front side of the body 2, a towing connector 3 that is detachably connected to the tractor is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The towing connector 3 is in a use state (a protruding state where it can be connected to the towing vehicle) that protrudes forward from the body 2 by moving forward, and is in a non-use state where it is housed in the body 2 by moving backward. Further, on the rear side of the body 2, a pair of left and right wheels 4 are rotatably provided so that the agricultural working machine 1 can easily move on the placement surface S when towed by a tractor or the like.

[0017] In addition, the agricultural working machine 1 includes a supply container support 11 that is a rotatable support in the vertical direction for detachably supporting a supply container K1, which is a crop storage body storing onions (pre-treatment crops) T having foliage; a drive unit 12 that rotates the supply container support 11 in the vertical direction with respect to the machine body 2; a transport cutting unit 13 that transports the onions T having foliage supplied from within the supply container K1 based on the upward rotation by the drive unit 12 and cuts unnecessary foliage of the onions T during the transport; a sorting unit 14 for sorting the onions (post-treatment crops) T from the transport cutting unit 13; and a discharge unit 15 for discharging unnecessary discharges (cut foliage, small stones, soil clods, etc.).

[0018] Furthermore, the agricultural working machine 1 includes a pair of left and right rotatable supports in the vertical direction for detachably supporting a good-quality product container K2, which is a crop storage body into which the selected onions (good-quality products) T within the specified standard are loaded and stored; and a pair of left and right drive units 17 that rotate the good-quality product container support 16 in the vertical direction with respect to the machine body 2.

[0019] Note that the onions (defective products) T outside the specified standard are loaded and stored in a defective product container K3, which is a crop storage body directly placed on the placement surface S. Each of the containers K1, K2, and K3 is, for example, a mesh container having an outer rectangular parallelepiped shape with an upper surface opening. Each of the drive units 12 and 17 is composed of, for example, hydraulic cylinders (drive sources) 12a and 17a that form a pair facing each other with a gap therebetween. An outrigger 18 for adjusting the posture of the agricultural working machine 1 during operation and preventing the agricultural working machine 1 from tipping over is provided on each of the good-quality product container supports 16 so that the vertical position can be adjusted.

[0020] Furthermore, the agricultural machine 1 includes a plurality (for example, two) of detection units 21, 22 for detecting the quantity of onions T, a detection unit 23 that switches between a detection state and a non-detection state depending on the position of the supply container support 11, a plurality (for example, four) of operation units operated by an operator, namely a first operation unit 26, a pair of second operation units 27 on the left and right, and a remote operation unit 28, and a control unit 30 that appropriately controls the drive targets (hydraulic cylinders 12a, 17a of the drive units 12, 17, as well as the drive source of the transport cutting unit 13, the drive source of the sorting unit 14, etc.) based on signals (information) from these detection units 21, 22, 23 and operation units 26, 27, 28, etc.

[0021] The first control unit (central control unit) 26 is operated by sorting workers. The second control units (left control unit, right control unit) 27 on the left and right sides are operated by workers located near both sides of the machine 2. The remote control unit 28 is operated by container handling workers, etc., riding on a forklift.

[0022] As shown in Figure 4, the supply container support 11 is mounted on the upper end of the vertical frame portion 32 of the main frame 31 of the machine body 2 so as to be rotatable vertically around a left-right axis portion 33. The supply container support 11 is provided with a rod-shaped center marker 34, which is a marker for the left and right center of the machine body that can be seen by container handling operators on forklifts or towing operators on tractors. The supply container K1 supported by the supply container support 11 is prevented from falling from the supply container support 11 by contact with the container receiving body 35.

[0023] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 12a of the drive unit 12, which rotates (lifts and lowers) the supply container support 11 in the vertical direction around the shaft portion 33, has a cylinder body portion 36 and a rod portion 37 that moves in and out of the cylinder body portion 36. The base end of the cylinder body portion 36 is rotatably attached to the cylinder mounting portion 38 of the machine body 2, and the tip of the rod portion 37 is rotatably attached to the cylinder mounting portion 39 of the supply container support 11.

[0024] The supply unit 40 is configured to feed the unprocessed onions (onions with stems and leaves) T from the supply container K1 to the transport and cutting unit 13, using a supply container support (supply container mounting body) 11 on which the supply container K1 is placed, and a drive unit 12 that raises and lowers the supply container support 11.

[0025] The transport and cutting section 13 has a storage and transport conveyor (corrugated conveyor) 41 on its front end, which is the transport starting end, for storing and transporting onions T from the supply container K1.

[0026] Furthermore, the conveying and cutting section 13 includes, in order from front to rear, a conveying chute 42, a stone removal roller 43, a lifting conveyor 44, a vibrating screen 45, a cutting conveyor 47 (a first cutting means for cutting downward-facing stems and leaves) with a cutter 46 for cutting stems and leaves, a tapping conveyor 48 (a second cutting means for cutting stems and leaves not cut by the first cutting means), and a lift conveyor 49.

[0027] The cutting conveyor (cutting unit) 47 is a unit-shaped device having multiple orientation-changing rollers 47a that change the orientation of the onions T so that the stems and leaves face downwards while conveying the onions T. Similarly, the tapping conveyor (tapping unit) 48 is a unit-shaped device having multiple stem and leaf cutting rollers 48a that cut the stems and leaves of the onions T while conveying them.

[0028] Above the storage and transport conveyor 41, a detection unit (a non-contact sensor such as a distance sensor) 21 is positioned to detect the amount of onions T on the storage and transport conveyor 41. Based on the detection signal from this detection unit 21, the control unit 30 controls the vertical movement (driving) and stopping of the supply container support 11. Similarly, above the transport chute 42, a detection unit (a non-contact sensor such as a distance sensor) 22 is positioned to detect the amount of onions T on the transport chute 42. Based on the detection signal from this detection unit 22, the control unit 30 controls the rotation (driving) and stopping of the storage and transport conveyor 41.

[0029] Then, in the transport and cutting section 13, the onions T, which have been unloaded from the storage and transport conveyor 41 and placed on the downward-sloping transport chute 42, are sequentially transported by the stone removal roller 43, the lifting conveyor 44, and the vibrating screen 45, during which time unwanted foreign matter such as pebbles and small clumps of soil are removed.

[0030] Subsequently, the onions T, which still have stems and leaves, are sequentially transported by a cutting conveyor 47 and a tapping conveyor 48, during which time any unnecessary stems and leaves are cut off. The onions T, with their stems and leaves removed, are then lifted and transported by a lift conveyor 49 and supplied to the sorting section 14 for sorting in the next process.

[0031] The waste material, including stems and leaves cut by the transport and cutting section 13, is transported to the rear and discharged by a discharge section 15 located at the bottom of the machine body 2, and stored, for example, in a waste container (not shown). The discharge section 15 has a rotatable discharge section 51 at its rear end that can be changed between an extended and folded state, and this rotatable discharge section 51 can be rotated vertically by operating the handle of a hand-wound winch 52. A locking body 53 is attached to the rotatable discharge section 51 to maintain it in an upright folded state.

[0032] The sorting unit 14 has a small onion removal roller 61 and a sorting conveyor 62 for transporting the onions T that have been unloaded from the lift conveyor 49 of the transport and cutting unit 13. A sorting worker, who has stepped from the stairs 63 onto the floor 64, performs the sorting work on the onions T on the sorting conveyor 62. Handrails 65 are erected on the floor 64 located on both the left and right sides of the machine body 2.

[0033] As a result of the sorting work performed by the sorting workers on the floor section 64, the onions T that meet the specifications and are deemed good quality are stored in the good quality container K2 on the good quality container support 16, after passing through the sorting chute 66, slide conveyor 67, and final chute 68.

[0034] The slide conveyor 67 has a conveying body 58 with multiple protrusions 57. This conveying body 58 conveys onions T that meet the specifications toward the good product container K2 on the left side by rotating in one direction, and conveys onions T that meet the specifications toward the good product container K2 on the right side by rotating in the other direction.

[0035] Furthermore, a frame-shaped spill prevention body 69 and a plate-shaped partition body 70 are provided on the upper part of the machine body 2 to prevent onions T within the standard size from spilling out. The spill prevention body 69 can be changed between an extended state and a folded state by rotating up and down. The final chute 68 can also be changed between an extended state and a folded state by rotating up and down, and a sheet 60 is attached to the tip of this final chute 68.

[0036] On the other hand, non-standard onions T deemed defective are stored in a defective product container K3 on the mounting surface S via a discharge duct 71, a discharge conveyor 73 with a top cover 72, and a discharge chute 74. The discharge chute 74, like the final chute 68, can be changed between an extended and folded state by vertical rotation. Small non-standard onions T that fall through the gaps of the small onion removal roller 61 are stored in the defective product container K3 via a small onion discharge chute 75. This small onion discharge chute 75 can also be changed between an extended and folded state by vertical rotation.

[0037] Furthermore, a separation frame 76 is provided on the sorting conveyor 62. Unprocessed onions (good quality) T whose stems and leaves were not cut in the transport and cutting section 13 of the previous process are sorted by the sorting worker and separated into the separation frame 76. These unprocessed onions T are then returned to the upper end of the lifting conveyor 44 via the return chute 77, and are sequentially transported again by the cutting conveyor 47 and the tapping conveyor 48, where their stems and leaves are cut.

[0038] The good product container support 16 has a container support section (product stage) 16a that can be changed between an unfolded state and a folded state by vertical rotation. Similarly, the supply container support 11 has a container support section (supply stage) 11a that can be changed between an unfolded state and a folded state by vertical rotation.

[0039] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 4 to 8, the agricultural machine 1 is equipped with a release unit (stem and leaf separator) 80 that releases entanglement between the stems and leaves of multiple onions T and separates them when the onions T are being transported (moved) by the storage and transport conveyor 41 of the transport and cutting unit 13.

[0040] First, the storage and transport conveyor (storage and transport section) 41 has a transport belt 81, which is a rotatable, endless transport body for temporarily storing and transporting onions T with stems and leaves. This transport belt 81 is stretched over a plurality of rotating sprockets 82. When the transport belt 81 rotates (runs) in a predetermined direction based on power from a drive source (not shown), the unprocessed onions T on the transport belt 81 are transported in the transport direction.

[0041] Furthermore, the unprocessed onions T supplied from the supply container K1 are temporarily stored on the conveyor belt 81. In other words, a pair of opposing plates 84 are positioned on both the left and right sides of the storage conveyor 41, spaced apart from each other, and a regulating plate 85 is positioned at the front end of the storage conveyor 41.

[0042] The left and right opposing plates 84 each have inclined plate sections 86 that form a roughly V-shape in plan view, and the distance between these left and right inclined plate sections 86 gradually decreases toward the rear (conveying direction). A cushioning resin plate (cushioning member) 87 is attached to the inner surface of each inclined plate section 86, and an opening and closing door 88 for access during maintenance, etc., is rotatably attached to the rear end of the inclined plate section 86.

[0043] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 81 has a conveying surface 91 on its upper, forward-facing side that conveys the onions T in the conveying direction. The conveying surface 91 is composed of, for example, a first conveying surface 92 which is an upward-sloping conveying surface toward the conveying direction, and a second conveying surface 93 which is connected to the conveying end of the first conveying surface 92 and is a downward-sloping conveying surface toward the conveying direction. In other words, the conveying surface 91 is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the side.

[0044] The release body 80 is positioned above the conveyor belt 81 of the storage and conveying conveyor 41. More specifically, the release body 80 is positioned, for example, above the end end of the first conveying surface 92 of the conveying surface portion 91 on the conveyor belt 81 of the storage and conveying conveyor 41. The release body 80 is also positioned near the rear ends of both the left and right inclined plate portions 86 (see Figure 2).

[0045] The release body 80 has a long member 101 that is longitudinal in the left-right direction, and a plurality (for example, three) of vertically longitudinal release members 102 that are detachably attached to the long member 101 by the attachment means 100 and are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction (a direction perpendicular to the transport direction in a plan view).

[0046] Each mounting means 100 consists of, for example, a mounting plate 104 with eight holes 103 formed therein, four U-shaped brackets 105 inserted into the holes 103 of the mounting plate 104, and eight nuts 107 screwed onto the threaded portions 106 of the U-shaped brackets 105.

[0047] The elongated member 101 has an elongated cylindrical section (pipe section) 111 with a circular cross-section, and mounting sections 112 with a roughly L-shaped cross-section fixed to both left and right ends of the elongated section 111. Each of these mounting sections 112 is detachably attached to the upper end of the inclined plate section 86 with a mounting fixture (e.g., bolts and nuts) 113. In addition, a vertical member (sensor base) 114 is erected near the left-right center of the elongated section 111, and a detection unit (non-contact sensor) 21 is attached to the upper end of this vertical member 114.

[0048] The release member 102 consists of a long, slender cylindrical round pipe 116 with a circular cross-section and a roughly bottomed cylindrical cap 117 fixed to the lower end of the round pipe 116 by welding or the like. It is a longitudinal member (a rod-shaped member with a cylindrical outer surface) that releases (removes) entanglement between the stems and leaves of the onions T when they are being transported by the storage and transport conveyor 41 (when the conveyor is driven).

[0049] Furthermore, the lower surface of the cap 117 at the lower end of the release member 102 is rounded to prevent damage to the onion T when it comes into contact with it. Alternatively, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 7, a cushioning material 118 for damage prevention may be used to cover the metal round pipe 116 and the cap 117, respectively.

[0050] The release member 102 is detachably attached to the elongated member 101 by the mounting means 100 so as to protrude at least downward from the elongated member 101 that is installed between the two opposing plates 84 (so as to contact the onions T stored on the conveyor belt 81, which are stacked vertically on top of each other).

[0051] Furthermore, the release member 102 is adjustable to move vertically and horizontally (left-right direction with respect to the conveying direction) relative to the long member 101, and is also adjustable to rotate vertically (front-back direction with respect to the conveying direction) around the central axis a of the long member 101. In other words, the release member 102 is adjustable in vertical and horizontal positions relative to the conveying belt 81 of the storage conveying conveyor 41, and its inclination angle α in the vertical direction is also adjustable.

[0052] In the front view shown in Figure 5, the lower end of the release member 102 is located above, for example, the upper end of the storage and transport conveyor 41, and below the upper end of the resin plate 87.

[0053] Next, we will explain the operation of the agricultural machine (stationary stem and leaf cutting machine) 1.

[0054] When onions T, which have stems and leaves and are to be processed, are supplied from the supply container K1 into the conveyor belt 81 of the storage conveyor 41 of the conveying and cutting section 13, the onions T are temporarily stored on the conveyor belt 81 and then transported by the conveyor belt 81 and supplied in fixed amounts onto the conveying chute 42.

[0055] Subsequently, the onions T, which have stems and leaves, are transported by a stone-removing roller 43, a lifting conveyor 44, and a vibrating screen 45, and then transported by a cutting conveyor 47 and a tapping conveyor 48, during which time any unnecessary stems and leaves are cut off.

[0056] Next, the onions T, whose stems and leaves have been cut, are lifted and transported by a lift conveyor 49, and then sorted in the sorting section 14.

[0057] As a result of this sorting process, onions that meet the specifications (good quality) T are stored in good quality container K2, and onions that do not meet the specifications (defective quality) T are stored in defective product container K3.

[0058] Here, for example, as shown in Figure 8, if the stems and leaves of multiple onions T are intricately entangled, the entangled stems and leaves come into contact with a longitudinal release member 102 located above the end end of the first conveying surface 92 of the conveying surface portion 91 of the conveying belt 81 of the storage conveying conveyor 41, and are separated.

[0059] In other words, when the onions T are being transported by the rotating conveyor belt 81, multiple onions T with entangled stems and leaves move in the transport direction due to the rotating conveyor belt 81, and the entangled stems and leaves are separated by contact with the release member 102 of the release body 80, which pulls them apart to the left and right.

[0060] At this time, the tangled stems and leaves are also separated by the difference in the speed of movement of the onion T in the direction of transport (difference in transport speed between the up and down directions).

[0061] In other words, among the group of stored onions TG temporarily stored on the first conveying surface 92 of the conveying surface portion 91 of the conveying belt 81, the onions T located on the upper side move slower in the conveying direction compared to the onions T located on the lower side due to contact with the release member 102. As a result, the tangled stems and leaves of the onions T located on the lower side are pulled apart and separated by contact with the upper onions T, which are moving at a slower speed.

[0062] In this way, the entanglement of the stems and leaves of multiple onions T is released, and the onions T with their stems and leaves are transferred to the claw portion 56 of the conveyor body 55 of the lifting conveyor 44 in a separated state, and are conveyed in this separated state so that the cutting of the stems and leaves can be carried out properly.

[0063] In contrast, as shown in Figure 9, in the comparative example without the release body 80, multiple onions T with entangled stems and leaves are transported as a single clump and supplied onto the transport chute 42, resulting in them becoming stagnant on the transport chute 42 and the stone removal roller 43.

[0064] In other words, even if one onion T is placed on the claw portion 56 of the conveyor body 55 of the lifting conveyor 44, that onion T is pulled by the stems and leaves of other onions T that remain on the conveyor chute 42 and the stone removal roller 43, causing stagnation. Moreover, once stagnation occurs, the stems and leaves become even more intricately entangled. Furthermore, even if multiple onions T with entangled stems and leaves are transferred to the claw portion 56 of the conveyor body 55 of the lifting conveyor 44 in a clump, some of the onions T will not be able to stay on the claw portion 56 and will fall off during the lifting process.

[0065] Therefore, if the onions to be processed become entangled during transport, the workers must manually untangle the stems and leaves of the onions themselves.

[0066] Therefore, the above-described agricultural machine 1 is equipped with a release body 80 positioned above the conveying and cutting section 13, which releases entanglement between the stems and leaves of multiple onions T during conveyance by the conveying and cutting section 13. As a result, for example, the operator does not need to manually release the entanglement between the stems and leaves of the onions T, thereby reducing the burden on the operator. Moreover, by preventing multiple onions T with entangled stems and leaves from being conveyed in a clump, intermittent feeding in subsequent processes can be appropriately prevented, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0067] Furthermore, since the release body 80 is positioned above the end end of the first conveying surface 92, which is inclined upward in the conveying direction on the conveying surface portion 91 of the conveying belt 81 of the storage conveying conveyor 41 of the conveying cutting section 13, it can properly release the entanglement of the stems and leaves of the onions T.

[0068] Furthermore, since the release body 80 has multiple vertically longitudinal release members 102 that are movable and adjustable in the up, down, left, and right directions, and rotatable in the front and back directions, it can release the entanglement of the stems and leaves of the onions T even more effectively.

[0069] Furthermore, the agricultural implement 1 is not limited to a configuration in which one release body (stem and leaf separator) 80 is positioned above the first conveying surface 92. For example, as shown in Figure 10, it may be configured in which multiple release bodies, i.e., two release bodies 80 (80a, 80b), front and rear, are positioned above the first conveying surface 92 and the second conveying surface 93 at different heights.

[0070] Of the two release bodies 80, the front release body 80 (80a) is positioned above the end of the first transport surface 92, which slopes upward in the transport direction, as shown in Figure 8 above. On the other hand, the rear release body 80 (80b) is positioned above the second transport surface 93, which slopes downward in the transport direction, so as to be located closer to the transport direction and at a lower position than the front release body 80 (80a).

[0071] Furthermore, with the configuration shown in Figure 10, the entanglement of the stems and leaves of the onions T located on the lower side of the stored onion group TG, closer to the conveyor belt 81, can be more effectively untangled, thereby improving the separation of the entangled stems and leaves of the onions T to be processed.

[0072] The number of release units is arbitrary; for example, a configuration with three or more release units with different front-to-back or up-and-down positions is also possible, or a configuration in which the position of the release units relative to the transport unit can be arbitrarily adjusted is also possible.

[0073] Furthermore, the release body is not limited to being positioned above a rotatable transport body (storage transport body) that temporarily stores crops with unwanted parts and transports those crops in the transport direction. For example, the release body may be positioned above a transport chute, or above a vibrating screen, etc.

[0074] Furthermore, the number of elongated release members used to untangle unwanted parts of crops is also arbitrary; for example, there may be two or four or more.

[0075] Furthermore, if the diameters of the release member and the long member are different, different U-shaped brackets corresponding to the respective diameters may be used for the mounting means of attaching the release member to the long member.

[0076] Furthermore, agricultural machinery is not limited to onion processing machines that cut off the stems and leaves (unnecessary parts) of onions, which are agricultural crops. For example, it may also be machinery that performs predetermined agricultural work (processing) on ​​crops other than onions. [Explanation of symbols]
