DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] A carrot harvester, which is a type of root vegetable harvester, and a storage bag 1 (generally called a flexible container bag) attached thereto will be described as an example of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] <Storage bag 1> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the storage bag 1 is composed of a soft and breathable storage bag body 2 made of natural fiber, synthetic resin, or a composite material of these, an inner lid 3 made of the same material with a base sewn around the entire periphery of the top opening of the storage bag body 2, and two hanging belts 4,4 with bases at both ends sewn at four balanced points around the outside of the top of the storage bag body 2.

[0023] The strength of the storage bag body 2 is increased by sewing a reinforcing band 5 to the center between two hanging belts 4, 4 sewn to the top.

[0024] The inner lid 3 has a string hole 6 formed by folding back the upper end, through which a drawstring 7 is passed. Therefore, when the drawstring 7 is loosened, the upper end of the inner lid 3 opens, allowing carrots and other items to be placed inside the storage bag body 2. When the drawstring 7 is pulled and tied tightly, the upper end of the inner lid 3 closes like a drawstring bag, and it functions as a lid that prevents carrots and other items stored in the storage bag body 2 from spilling out.

[0025] The bases of the two hanging belts 4, 4 are sewn from the outside to the area where the base of the inner lid 3 is sewn around the entire periphery of the top opening of the storage bag body 2.

[0026] Therefore, since the two hanging belts 4, 4 are sewn from the outside to the area where the base of the inner lid 3 is sewn around the entire periphery of the upper opening of the storage bag body 2, the strength of the entire storage bag 1 is improved, and the sewing strength of the two hanging belts 4, 4 to the storage bag body 2 is also improved, so that sufficient hanging strength can be ensured when the hanging hanger 25 is hooked and hung on the two hanging belts 4, 4.

[0027] The two hanging belts 4, 4 have the upper and lower ends of a band-like hanging part 8 made of the same material as the hanging belts 4 sewn to the inner surface above the position where each base is sewn from the outside to the upper opening of the storage bag main body 2 and the base of the inner lid 3 sewn to the part.

[0028] Therefore, the four hanging parts 8 are sewn to four balanced locations around the entire base of the inner lid 3 (on the inner surface at positions above the four locations where the bases of both ends of the two hanging belts 4, 4 are sewn to the top of the storage bag body 2).

[0029] Slits 9 are formed in the inner lid 3 at positions corresponding to the four hanging portions 8 of the inner lid 3. Therefore, the four hanging portions 8 can be positioned on the outside of the inner lid 3, or can be inserted through the corresponding slits 9 and positioned on the inside of the inner lid 3. The slits 9 are small enough to prevent stored items such as carrots from spilling out.

[0030] When using the storage bag 1 with the four hanging parts 8 inserted through the corresponding slits 9 and positioned inside the inner lid 3, the drawstring 7 is loosened to open the upper end of the inner lid 3, and the inner lid 3 is folded toward the outside of the storage bag main body 2 so that it hangs down outside the storage bag main body 2. Then, the top of the storage bag main body 2 becomes open, and the hanging parts 8 positioned at the top of the storage bag main body 2 can be hooked onto the hooks 25a serving as hanging members of the hanging hanger 25 of the carrot harvester, thereby hanging the storage bag 1.

[0031] When using the storage bag 1 with the four hanging parts 8 positioned outside the inner lid 3, the hanging parts 8 positioned outside the inner lid 3 are hooked onto the hooks 25a of the hanging hanger 25 to hang the storage bag 1, and the inner lid 3 is extended upward and its upper end is hooked onto the fasteners 25b of the hanging hanger 25. This makes the inner lid 3 a cylindrical wall that rises from the upper opening of the storage bag main body 2, and can appropriately prevent the contents such as carrots from spilling out of the storage bag 1 when they are placed into the storage bag 1 from above, and also prevents spillage even when the storage bag main body 2 is heaped with contents such as carrots.

[0032] When the storage bag body 2 is filled with carrots and other stored items, the storage bag 1 is hung by hooking it onto the hooks 25a of the hanging hanger 25 with the four hanging parts 8 positioned outside the inner lid 3, so that the inner lid 3 covers the upper opening of the storage bag body 2 while the drawstring 7 is still hanging from the hooks 25a of the hanging hanger 25, and the upper end of the inner lid 3 is pulled and tightened to close it like a drawstring, thereby preventing the carrots stored in the storage bag body 2 from spilling out.

[0033] The bases of the two hanging belts 4, 4 are sewn to four balanced locations around the outside of the storage bag body 2, i.e., four locations that are approximately equal in distance from the center of gravity of the storage bag body 2 when carrots or other contents are stored therein and also have approximately equal intervals between adjacent ones.

[0034] After storing the contents such as carrots in the storage bag 1, the drawstring 7 is pulled and fastened to close the upper end of the inner lid 3 like a drawstring bag to prevent the contents such as carrots stored in the storage bag body 2 from spilling out, and the storage bag 1 is lifted by passing the forks of a transport vehicle such as a forklift through the two hanging belts 4, 4 to transport it.

[0035] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the hook 25a of the hanging hanger 25 is formed by welding a deformable elastic material such as rubber to the tip of a metal material such as iron or stainless steel to form an L-shaped or U-shaped hook portion (tip portion) 25a'.

[0036] Therefore, when the hook 25a of the hanging hanger 25 is engaged with the hanging part 8 to hang the storage bag 1, if the hook 25a is to be removed from the hanging part 8, the hook-shaped part 25a' made of elastic material becomes straight by pulling the hanging part 8 in the direction away from the hook 25a (horizontally), and the hanging part 8 can be easily removed from the hook 25a, which improves workability.

[0037] <Carrot harvester> 5 and 6 are a plan view and a rear view for explaining the operation of the carrot harvester.

[0038] The carrot harvester is composed of a traveling section A that drives the machine, a control section B on which the operator rides, a harvesting section C that pulls carrots from the field on one side of the machine and transports them to the upper rear of the machine, a stem and leaf cutting section that takes over the carrots from the harvesting section C and transports them to the rear of the machine while cutting the stems and leaves, a sorting and transporting section D that receives the carrots that fall from the stem and leaf cutting section and processes the stems and leaves remaining on the carrots in a remaining leaf processing section, a sorting and transporting section D that takes over the carrots from the remaining leaf processing section and transports them from one side of the machine to the other side, where an assistant operator sorts the carrots as they are transported, and a storage section E that stores storage materials for the carrots discharged from the sorting and transporting section D.

[0039] (Running section A) Left and right crawlers 54L, 54R are formed by winding left and right belts 53, 53 around left and right drive sprockets on the front side of the machine body and left and right driven wheels 51, 51 on the rear side of the machine body below the machine body frame 50, and a plurality of rollers 52 attached between the left and right drive sprockets and the left and right driven wheels 51, 51. The left and right drive sprockets of the left and right crawlers 54L, 54R are attached to left and right drive shafts extending on both the left and right sides from a transmission case to which engine power is transmitted, and the left and right crawlers 54L, 54R are attached to the machine body frame 50 with a certain left-right spacing between them.

[0040] (Control Unit B) A control frame 55 is attached to the upper right side of the machine frame 50, and a control seat 8 is attached to the control frame 55, and a control panel 9 is attached to the front of the machine. The control panel 9 is then fitted with a speed change lever 56 for switching the machine's forward / reverse movement and travel speed, a lift control lever 11 for turning the machine left and right and for controlling the working height of the harvesting section C, and a cross-directional control lever 27, which will be described later.

[0041] A radiator cover 12 is detachably attached to the other left or right side of the aircraft body (right side of the aircraft body) of the control unit frame 55 to protect the radiator that cools the engine and take in cooling air, thereby forming a control unit B.

[0042] (Harvesting Section C) Left and right driven pulleys are rotatably mounted on the front sides of the left and right pulling frames 13, 13, and left and right drive pulleys are mounted on the rear sides. Left and right clamping conveyor belts that pull carrots and transport them to the rear of the machine are wound between the left and right driven pulleys and the left and right drive pulleys, and the left and right clamping conveyor belts are tensioned by multiple tension rollers, so that the inner sides of the left and right clamping conveyor belts are pressed against each other to form a carrot pulling and transport path R. A rotating frame that can rotate vertically around left and right horizontal axes is mounted above the machine frame 50, and a transmission case that transmits driving force to the left and right drive pulleys is mounted to the rear end of the rotating frame so that it can rotate vertically around the rotation fulcrum. The machine frame 50 and the rotating frame are connected by an elevator cylinder that is operable by the control unit B to form the pulling and transport device 17.

[0043] Also provided in front of the pulling-out and conveying device 17 are a vertical pulling-up device 18 for pulling up the stems and leaves of the carrots, a horizontal pulling-up device 19 for scooping up the stems and leaves pulled up by the vertical pulling-up device 18, a weed-separating rod 20 provided in front of the horizontal pulling-up device 19, a rotatable gauge wheel for preventing the pulling-out and conveying device 17 from descending too far, and a left-right vibrating soiler that vibrates back and forth with the driving force of the engine to loosen the soil on the left and right of the carrots buried in the soil.

[0044] A tail cutting device for cutting the roots of carrots being transported by the pulling and transporting device 17 is attached below the pulling and transporting passage R, thereby forming a harvesting section C.

[0045] With the above-mentioned configuration, by providing the horizontal pulling-up device 19 equipped with the grass-dividing rod 20 on the front side of the machine body and the vertical pulling-up device 18, harvesting work can be performed while raking up the stems and leaves of carrots that have fallen in the field, and since the visibility of the carrots to be harvested is improved, it is easier to adjust the pulling position, and the amount of crop left behind is reduced, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0046] In addition, the carrots can be prevented from being damaged by contact with the left-right vibrating soy machine or the like, thereby improving the commercial value of the carrots.

[0047] The machine frame 50 and a rotating frame that can rotate freely up and down around the left and right horizontal axes as rotation fulcrums are connected by a lifting cylinder, and the lifting cylinder is extended and retracted by operating the lifting operation lever 11 on the control unit B. This makes it possible to adjust the vertical height of the entire harvesting unit C by operating the lifting operation lever 11, so that the position of the starting end of the pulling and conveying of the harvesting unit C can be adjusted up and down and the position of the starting end of the pulling and conveying can be adjusted to match the appropriate pulling height for carrots growing in the field, preventing carrots from being left behind and improving work efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, if the harvesting section C is raised during turning, the lower end of the harvesting section C is less likely to come into contact with the field, allowing for smooth turning operations and improving work efficiency.

[0049] (Sorting and conveying section D) The sorting and conveying device 21 for sorting work in the sorting and conveying section D is arranged from the rear below the pulling and conveying device 17 in the harvesting section C toward the storage section E, where storage bags 1, which are storage members for storing carrots, are located, and is composed of a chain conveyor with bars spaced at regular intervals that rotates with the driving force from the engine. Carrots conveyed by the pulling and conveying device 17 with their stems and leaves clamped, have their lower ends (slightly above the carrot head) cut in the stem and leaf cutting section and fall downward. The remaining leaf processing section receives the fallen carrots, processes the stems and leaves remaining on the carrots, and conveys them to the sorting and conveying section D. The sorting and conveying device 21 in the sorting and conveying section D then conveys the carrots from their left ends to the right (storage section E).

[0050] The sorting and conveying device 21 is also composed of a horizontal conveying conveyor 21a that is installed horizontally on the right side of the machine body from the rear lower part of the pulling and conveying device 17 in the harvesting section C, and a movable conveying conveyor 21b that takes over the harvested crops from the right end of the horizontal conveying conveyor 21a and conveys them diagonally upward and to the upper right to the storage section E.

[0051] The movable conveyor 21b has its left end, which takes over the harvested crops from the right end of the horizontal conveyor 21a, supported so as to be freely rotatable by a pivot shaft, and the right end side on the storage section E side moves up and down by the extension and contraction operation of the electric cylinder 21c for vertical movement, allowing the inclination angle to be changed.

[0052] An auxiliary work seat 23 is provided on the rear side of the movable transfer conveyor 21b, and a worker seated on the auxiliary work seat 23 takes out non-marketable carrots (small carrots or carrots with irregular shapes) from among the carrots sent by the movable transfer conveyor 21b, and sends only carrots with proper market value to the storage section E.

[0053] Also, an operator seated on the auxiliary work seat 23 operates the foot-operated up switch and down switch to extend and retract the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, thereby moving the right end of the movable transfer conveyor 21b up and down.

[0054] (Reception Section E) The storage section E is located to the right of the sorting and conveying device 21 and is composed of a hanging hanger 25 that moves up and down and left and right by an operating arm 24 as a moving device provided at the right end of the movable conveying conveyor 21b of the sorting and conveying device 21, and a loading table 26 on which the storage bag 1 hung from the hanging hanger 25 is placed.

[0055] The movable conveyor 21b extends obliquely upward from its base at the left end to its upper right end. It rotates with the driving force of the engine, transporting carrots obliquely upward and releasing them downward from its upper end. The base of the movable conveyor 21b is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft, and the piston tip of an electric vertical movement cylinder 21c, whose base is pivotally supported on the machine frame 50, is connected to its midpoint.

[0056] That is, while an operator seated on the auxiliary work seat 23 presses an up switch, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c extends and rotates about the pivot shaft to raise the movable transfer conveyor 21b, and while an operator presses a down switch, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c contracts and rotates about the pivot shaft to lower the movable transfer conveyor 21b. When the operator operates the cross-directional operation lever 27 provided on the right end of the operation panel 9 to the right while descending into the field and facing the rear of the machine body, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c extends and rotates about the pivot shaft to raise the movable transfer conveyor 21b, and when the operator operates the cross-directional operation lever 27 to the left, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c contracts and rotates about the pivot shaft to lower the movable transfer conveyor 21b.

[0057] The hanging hanger 25 is moved up and down and left and right by an operating arm 24 provided at the right end of the movable transfer conveyor 21b.

[0058] The operating arm 24 is composed of a base arm 24a whose base is fixed to the right end of the movable transport conveyor 21b and whose tip extends toward the upper right outside of the body, a pivot arm 24b that is pivotally supported at the tip of the base arm 24a, and a pivot electric cylinder 24c that serves as a pivot actuator and is arranged between the base arm 24a and the pivot arm 24b.

[0059] The hanging hanger 25 is provided at the tip of the rotating arm 24b. Above the mounting table 26, the four hooks 25a of the hanging hanger 25 are hooked onto the hanging portions 8 of the storage bag 1, thereby supporting the storage bag 1 in a hanging manner.

[0060] A cross-directional operation lever 27 is provided at the right end of the operation panel 9, and when the operator descends into the field and operates it to the right while facing the rear of the machine body, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c extends and the movable transport conveyor 21b rotates around the pivot axis to rise, and when operated to the left, the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c contracts and the movable transport conveyor 21b rotates around the pivot axis to fall, and when operated towards the rear of the machine body, the rotating electric cylinder 24c extends and the rotating arm 24b rotates around the pivot axis to open outward to the right, and when operated towards the front of the machine body, the rotating electric cylinder 24c contracts and the rotating arm 24b rotates around the pivot axis to close inside the machine body on the left.

[0061] The mounting table 26 is composed of a base table 26a that is rotatably supported on the machine frame 50 by a longitudinal pivot shaft 36 inside the machine body, and a tip table 26b whose inner end is pivoted on a longitudinal axis at the tip of the base table 26a.

[0062] Then, by operating the platform operation switch SW provided on the operation panel 9 of the control section B, the base platform 26a of the platform 26 is placed in a horizontal position (A) deployed to the right outside of the body around the longitudinal pivot axis 36 inside the body by the base platform electric cylinder, and the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted at the tip of the base platform 26a about the longitudinal axis, is placed in the same horizontal position (A) as the base platform 26a by the tip platform electric motor 42, so that it is ready to receive the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25.

[0063] In addition, by operating the platform operation switch SW, the electric motor 42 for the tip platform is activated and the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted to the tip of the base platform 26a on a longitudinal axis, is switched to a downward standing position (b) perpendicular to the base platform 26a, and the lower end of the tip platform 26b in the standing position (b) is in an outrigger state to prevent the machine from tipping over, in a position very slightly above the field surface.

[0064] Therefore, if the machine tilts to the right due to a shift in the center of gravity when the operating arm 24 is operated to lower the storage bag 1 into the field on the right outer side of the machine body, the lower end of the tip platform 26b in the upright position (b) will touch the ground on the field surface and function as an outrigger to prevent the machine body from tipping over.

[0065] In addition, by operating the mounting base operation switch SW, the base base 26a of the mounting base 26 can be stored inside the machine body around the longitudinal pivot axis 36 inside the machine body by the base base electric cylinder in an upright position, and the tip base 26b, whose inner end is pivoted to the tip of the base base 26a about a longitudinal axis, can be stored in the same inward position as the base base 26a by the tip base electric motor 42 in an upright position, thereby opening the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25.

[0066] <Harvesting carrots using storage bag 1> The carrot harvesting process is as follows:

[0067] First, by operating the platform operation switch SW provided on the operation panel 9 of the control section B, the base platform 26a of the platform 26 is placed in a horizontal position (A) deployed to the right outside of the body around the longitudinal pivot axis 36 inside the body by the base platform electric cylinder, and the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted at the tip of the base platform 26a about the longitudinal axis, is placed in the same horizontal position (A) as the base platform 26a by the tip platform electric motor 42, so that it is ready to receive the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25.

[0068] Then, by operating the cross-directional operating lever 27, the rotating electric cylinder 24c is activated, which operates to close the rotating arm 24b, which is freely rotatably supported at the tip of the base arm 24a of the operating arm 24, the base of which is fixed to the right end of the movable conveyor 21b of the sorting and conveying section D, toward the body of the machine and to expand it outward to the right, so that the rotating arm 24b is closed inside the body of the machine and the movable conveyor 21b is in the lowest position.

[0069] Then, the drawstring 7 of the storage bag 1 is loosened to open the upper end of the inner lid 3, and the storage bag 1 is hung by hooking the hanging parts 8 provided on the inner surfaces of the two hanging belts 4, 4 located on the outside of the inner lid 3 onto each hook 25a of the hanging hanger 25 provided at the tip of the rotating arm 24b, and the bottom of the storage bag 1 is placed on the mounting base 26.

[0070] Then, the inner lid 3 is extended upward and its upper end is hooked onto an L-shaped fastener 25b provided to protrude inside the hanging hanger 25, so that the inner lid 3 becomes a cylindrical wall standing up from the upper opening of the storage bag body 2.

[0071] Two locking devices 25b are provided protruding from the inside of each of the two hanging hangers 25, and when the inner lid 3 is extended upward and its upper end is hooked onto the four locking devices 25b, the upper end of the inner lid 3 is hooked evenly at four points, forming a neat cylindrical wall.

[0072] The drawstring 7 is hooked onto an L-shaped outer fastener provided to protrude from the outside of the hanging hanger 25 to prevent it from swinging.

[0073] Furthermore, by engaging a hanging ring provided on the inside of the inner lid 3 at the upper end of the storage bag body 2 of the storage bag 1 with a locking hook provided at the bottom of the area where carrots are released, which is the center position between the front and rear of the right end of the movable transport conveyor 21b, and hanging the storage bag body 2 of the storage bag 1 located at the area where carrots are released, which is the center position between the front and rear of the right end of the movable transport conveyor 21b, the carrots released from the right end of the movable transport conveyor 21b will be prevented from spilling out by the inner lid 3 and will be properly stored in the storage bag 1.

[0074] Each hook 25a can be opened and closed by operating the gripping portion 25c.

[0075] The operator seated in the operator's seat 8 of the control section B then advances the carrot harvester, aligning the front end of the pulling-out conveying path R of the pulling-out conveying device 17 of the harvesting section C with the carrot rows in the field, then operates the lifting operation lever 11 to lower the harvesting section C, and turns on the digging clutch to drive each section and move the machine forward. Then, the carrot stems and leaves are raked up by the weeding rod 20, vertical pulling device 18, and horizontal pulling device 19, and the carrot stems and leaves are clamped in the pulling-out conveying path R of the pulling-out conveying device 17, the left and right vibrating soiler loosens the soil to the sides and below the carrots, and the carrots are clamped and pulled out by the pulling-out conveying device 17 and transported rearward and upward.

[0076] Carrots conveyed by the pulling and conveying device 17 with their stems and leaves clamped therein are cut at the lower ends of the stems and leaves (slightly above the carrot head) in the stem and leaf cutting section, and the carrots fall downward. The carrots that fall are received by the remaining leaf processing section, which processes the stems and leaves remaining on the carrots, and then the carrots are conveyed to the sorting and conveying section D. The carrots are then conveyed from the left end to the right (storage section E) by the movable conveyor 21b of the sorting and conveying section D.

[0077] Then, a worker seated on an auxiliary work seat 23 at the rear side of the movable transport conveyor 21b removes non-marketable carrots (small carrots or oddly shaped carrots) from the carrots sent by the movable transport conveyor 21b, and only the carrots with market value are sent to the storage section E.

[0078] The carrots sent to the right end by the movable transfer conveyor 21b drop into and are stored in the storage bags 1 hung from hooks 25a of hanging hangers 25 provided at the tip of a rotating arm 24b, which is rotatably supported at the tip of a base arm 24a, the base of which is fixed to the right end of the movable transfer conveyor 21b.

[0079] At that time, inner lid 3 of storage bag 1 is extended upward and its upper end is hooked onto L-shaped fastener 25b provided to protrude inside hanging hanger 25, and inner lid 3 forms a cylindrical wall rising from the upper opening of storage bag main body 2, thereby appropriately preventing carrots dropping into storage bag 1 from the right end of movable transfer conveyor 21b from spilling out of storage bag 1. Furthermore, even if storage bag main body 2 is piled high with carrots and other contents, they will not spill.

[0080] As the amount of carrots stored in the storage bag 1 increases, the worker seated on the auxiliary work seat 23 presses down on the lift switch to extend the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, thereby rotating the movable transfer conveyor 21b around the pivot shaft and gradually raising it.

[0081] Then, the movable transfer conveyor 21b is rotated about the pivot shaft and raised until the storage bag 1 is filled with carrots, and then the operator stops driving the machine and stops it.

[0082] The worker seated at auxiliary work seat 23 leaves auxiliary work seat 23 and goes to storage bag 1 filled with carrots, where he removes drawstring 7 that is hooked onto the L-shaped outer fastener that protrudes from the outside of hanging hanger 25, and also removes the upper end of inner lid 3 that is hooked onto fastener 25b of hanging hanger 25. Then, he pulls and tightens drawstring 7 so that inner lid 3 covers the upper opening of storage bag main body 2, and closes the upper end of inner lid 3 like a drawstring bag, preventing the carrots stored in storage bag main body 2 from spilling out.

[0083] The operator stands near the right end of the control panel 9 and operates the cross-directional control lever 27 while facing the rear of the machine body.

[0084] First, the cross-directional control lever 27 is moved to the right to extend the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, thereby raising the movable transfer conveyor 21b to its highest position and lifting the storage bag 1 above the placing table 26.

[0085] Then, the cross-directional operating lever 27 is operated toward the rear of the machine body to extend the rotating electric cylinder 24c, causing the rotating arm 24b to rotate around the pivot shaft and open to the right outside, and the storage bag 1 is moved to the right outside of the mounting table 26.

[0086] Then, the cross-directional control lever 27 is operated to the left to contract the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, lowering the movable transfer conveyor 21b to its lowest position, and lowering the storage bag 1 into the field (see FIG. 6).

[0087] Then, the gripping portion 25c is gripped to open the hooks 25a, and the hooks 25a of the hanging hanger 25 are removed from the hanging portion 8.

[0088] Then, the cross-directional operation lever 27 is operated to return the movable transfer conveyor 21b to its lowest position with the first rotating arm 24b closed inside the left machine body, and the hanging parts 8 of a new empty storage bag 1 are respectively hooked onto the hooks 25a of the hanging hangers 25 to hang the storage bag 1 so that the bottom of the storage bag 1 is supported on the platform 26, and then the operator sits on the auxiliary work seat 23. Then, each part is driven to move the machine forward and the harvesting work is resumed.

[0089] Therefore, the hanging hanger 25 moves up and down and left and right by the operating arm 24 provided at the right end of the movable transport conveyor 21b, so that the storage bag 1 placed on the mounting table 26 while suspended from the hanging hanger 25 can be lifted above the mounting table 26 by the operating arm 24 and lowered into the field at a position to the right of the mounting table 26.Even if the storage bag 1 lowered into the field tilts or the machine body meanders slightly, the storage bag 1 can be prevented from coming into contact with the machine body, allowing for good and appropriate harvesting work to be carried out.

[0090] At this time, by operating the platform operation switch SW, the electric motor 42 for the tip platform is operated to switch the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted at the tip of the base platform 26a about a longitudinal axis, to a downward standing position (b) perpendicular to the base platform 26a.In this position (b), the lower end of the tip platform 26b is located very slightly above the field surface, and if the machine tilts to the right due to a shift in the center of gravity when the operating arm 24 is operated to lower the storage bag 1 into the field to the right of the machine body, the lower end of the tip platform 26b in the standing position (b) will touch the field surface and function as an outrigger to prevent the machine body from tipping over.

[0091] If there is an obstacle such as a ridge or wall on the side of the ridge at the edge of the field and the storage bag 1 cannot be lowered to the side of the machine body, the cross-directional operating lever 27 is operated to the right to extend the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, raising the movable transport conveyor 21b to its highest position and lifting the storage bag 1 above the loading platform 26.

[0092] Then, by operating the mounting platform operation switch SW, the base platform 26a of the mounting platform 26 is stored inside the machine body around the longitudinal pivot axis 36 inside the machine body by the base platform electric cylinder in an upright position, and the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted to the tip of the base platform 26a about a longitudinal axis, is stored in the same inward position as the base platform 26a by the tip platform electric motor 42 in an upright position, and the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25 is opened.

[0093] Then, the cross-directional control lever 27 is operated to the left to contract the vertical movement electric cylinder 21c, lowering the movable transfer conveyor 21b to its lowest position, and the storage bag 1 is lowered into the field.

[0094] Therefore, when the storage bag 1 cannot be lowered to the side of the machine body due to an obstacle such as a ridge or wall on the side of the ridge at the edge of the field, the loading platform operating switch SW is operated to fold the loading platform 26 as the loading section into the machine body into a storage position, and the lower part of the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25 is opened, so that the storage bag 1 can be lowered directly into the field.

[0095] Furthermore, by operating the platform operation switch SW, the base platform 26a of the platform 26 is placed in a horizontal position (A) deployed to the right outside of the body around the longitudinal pivot axis 36 inside the body of the machine by the base platform electric cylinder, and the tip platform 26b, whose inner end is pivoted at the front-rear axis at the tip of the base platform 26a, is placed in the same horizontal position (A) as the base platform 26a by the tip platform electric motor 42, and when it is placed in a state where it can receive the bottom of the storage bag 1 hanging from the hanging hanger 25, the control device prevents the base platform 26a from being stored inside the body of the machine in an upright position, preventing erroneous operation and improving work safety.

[0096] Then, by operating the mounting base operation switch SW, the electric motor 42 for the tip base is activated and the tip base 26b, whose inner end is pivoted to the tip of the base base 26a about a longitudinal axis, is switched to a downward standing position (b) relative to the base base 26a, thereby releasing the restriction that keeps the base base 26a in an upright position stored inside the machine body, and the base base 26a can be placed in an upright position stored inside the machine body.

[0097] In addition, an angle sensor is provided on the base arm 24a of the operating arm 24, and when the base arm 24a reaches a predetermined angle or more, the control device regulates the base arm 24a so that it does not reach the predetermined angle or more even if the cross-directional operating lever 27 is operated.

[0098] Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the base arm 24a rises more than necessary due to an erroneous operation of the cross-directional operation lever 27, causing the machine body to tilt and tip over due to the weight of the storage bag 1 hung on the hanging hanger 25.

[0099] In addition, a sensor is provided to detect when the tip base 26b has been switched to a downward standing position (b) relative to the base base 26a, and when the sensor detects that the tip base 26b has been switched to a downward standing position (b) relative to the base base 26a, the restriction that prevents the base arm 24a from reaching an angle greater than a predetermined angle even when the above-mentioned cross-directional operating lever 27 is operated is released.

[0100] <Other embodiments> (1) FIGS. 7 and 8 show another embodiment of the suspender 8. FIG.

[0101] That is, two vertical slits 60, 60 are provided in parallel with a gap between them on the upper side of the two hanging belts 4, 4 near the position where each base is sewn from the outside to the area where the upper opening of the storage bag main body 2 and the base of the inner lid 3 are sewn to, and reinforcing material made of the same material as the hanging belts 4 is sewn to both ends of the two slits 60, 60 as a patch to reinforce the slits 60, 60.

[0102] Therefore, the area between the two slits 60, 60 becomes a band-shaped hanging portion 8, which can be hooked onto a hook 25a of a hanging hanger 25 of the carrot harvester to hang the storage bag 1.

[0103] Therefore, the hanging portion 8 can be formed by the two hanging belts 4, 4 themselves, resulting in an inexpensive configuration.

[0104] (2) FIGS. 9 and 10 show other embodiments of the suspender part 8. FIG.

[0105] That is, the bases of the two hanging belts 4, 4 are folded over and sewn from the outside to the area where the upper opening of the storage bag main body 2 and the base of the inner lid 3 are sewn, and the folded over portion 4a is fastened to the upper hanging belt 4 with a fastener 70.

[0106] Therefore, the folded portion 4a becomes a belt-shaped hanging portion 8, which can be hung on a hook 25a of a hanging hanger 25 of the carrot harvester to hang the storage bag 1.

[0107] Therefore, the hanging portion 8 can be formed by the two hanging belts 4, 4 themselves, resulting in an inexpensive configuration. Also, the size of the hanging portion 8 can be changed by adjusting the locking position of the fastener 70, and the degree of hanging on the hook 25a of the hanging hanger 25 can also be adjusted.

[0108] (3) FIGS. 11 and 12 show another embodiment of the storage bag 1. FIG.

[0109] That is, a slit 80 is provided from the tip of the inner lid 3 to the top of the storage bag body 2, and can be opened and closed freely with a joining member 81 such as a zipper or Velcro (registered trademark).

[0110] Therefore, when the storage bag 1 is hung by hanging the hanging part 8 on the hook 25a of the hanging hanger 25 of the carrot harvester, the hanging part 8 can be easily removed from the hook 25a by opening the joining member 81 such as a fastener or a Velcro tape and opening the notch 80.

[0111] In addition, a slit 80 may be provided in the inner lid 3 from the tip end toward the top of the storage bag body 2, and the inner lid 3 may be opened and closed freely with a joining member 81 such as a zipper or Velcro.

[0112] Also, notches may be provided at the four corners of the inner lid 3 so that it can be opened and closed freely using a joining member such as a fastener or Velcro. By opening the joining member such as a fastener or Velcro and opening the notches, the inner lid 3 is divided into four parts, making it easy to remove the hanging part 8 from the hook 25a and move the inner lid 3 to the outside or inside of the hanging hanger 25.

[0113] (4) The bases of the hanging belts 4, 4 may be sewn from the outside to the area where the base of the inner lid 3 is sewn around the entire circumference of the top opening of the storage bag body 2, and the hanging portion 8 may be sewn to the outside of the position where each base of the hanging belts 4, 4 is sewn.
