Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable uniform mud dyeing by placing a carrier carrying rushes in a box-shaped water tank with the opened top rotatably supported by a shaft fixed in the nearly central parts on both sides, injecting muddy water into the afore-mentioned water tank and impregnating the rushes with dyeing mud. CONSTITUTION:A shaft 2 secured to the nearly central part on both sides of a box-shaped water tank 1 having the opened top is rotatably supported by bearings 3 and a sprocket (4a) is attached to the tip of the above-mentioned shaft 2 and interlocked through a chain 6 with a speed reducing motor 5. A valve 7 is further arranged in the lower part of one side vertically moving by driving with the afore-mentioned motor 5. A carrier 9 carrying rushes 10 is hung by a hoist, etc., inserted and fixed in the above-mentioned water tank 1, which is then tilted somewhat so as to lower the tips of the rushes 10. Muddy water is subsequently injected into the afore-mentioned water tank 1 with a pump to homogeneously impregnate the above-mentioned rushes 10 with dyeing mud. The valve 7 is then opened to discharge the muddy water.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention involves soaking the grass to be cut in muddy water in which dyeing material has been dissolved, allowing the fine particles of dyeing material to penetrate into the stems, and then drying the grass. It is about an elemental machine that dyes grass.

<Conventional Technology> Conventionally, dyeing was carried out using a machine called an element machine, which melted the dyeing of rushes one by one, soaked them in a tank of muddy water, and then took them out.

This method is time-consuming, so recently I have been loading rushes (10) horizontally onto a loading platform (9) as shown in Figure 5.
Or, put rushes (10
) and then hoisting it up with a hoist or the like and immersing it in a tank filled with muddy water to remove a large amount of rush at once.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> In this case, when the rushes are stacked horizontally and soaked in a water tank, air bubbles form on the surface of the stems, and the muddy water does not penetrate into these areas, resulting in uneven dyeing.

Also, since the rushes were piled horizontally and pulled up, the muddy water flowed from the top to the bottom rushes and stagnated there, so the dyeing process was different between the top and bottom rushes, resulting in an uneven finish.

Therefore, if the rushes are stacked vertically and soaked in a water tank, air bubbles will not be formed and the uneven dyeing will disappear.When the rushes are pulled up again, the muddy water will flow down the rushes and the dyeing will be uniform. It took a lot of effort to transport the grass back home vertically. Furthermore, in order to prevent the rushes from floating up, a weight was placed on top of the rushes, which resulted in the tip of the rushes being bent.

In addition, whether loading horizontally or vertically, a large amount of muddy water drips down when lifting the cargo platform after soaking it in a water tank, making the work area dirty and difficult to work in.

<Means for Solving the Problem> Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, a shaft is provided approximately at the center of the opposing sides of the aquarium, and this shaft is supported by a bearing to allow the aquarium to rotate. Therefore, we decided to use a mud machine that could tilt the water tank using power.

To explain the basic method using this mud machine, the grass to be cut in the field is loaded horizontally onto a loading platform (9) as shown in Fig. 5, and the grass is taken home as shown in Fig. 3. (Use a hoist, etc., to lower the loading platform into the water tank, then tilt the top of the tank slightly so that the tip of the rushes hangs down, and pour muddy water in which someage has been dissolved into the tank. Next, pour the muddy water. After pulling it out, I tilted the tank greatly so that the roots of the rushes were lowered, drained the muddy water remaining in the rushes, returned the tank to level, and took out the loading platform.

By using this method, firstly, if you place the rush on its side and fill it with muddy water, even if air bubbles form on the stems and there are places where the muddy water does not penetrate, the next step is to tilt the aquarium. By allowing the muddy water on the rushes to flow down the stems, air bubbles are removed and the muddy water penetrates all over the rushes, preventing uneven dyeing.

Second, you can simply hand over a stick to hold down the rushes at the top of the loading platform.
Since it can prevent the rushes from floating up, there is no need for extra weights and there is no damage to the tips of the rushes.

Third, since the rushes are drained in a water tank, there is less muddy water spilling into the work area, making the work area cleaner.

Fourth, since the cargo platform loaded in the field can be placed directly into the water tank, there is no need to reload it.

As described above, by using the mud submersible machine of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the deficiencies of conventional horizontal and vertical stacking machines and perform elemental work that takes only their advantages.

<Embodiment> Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which shafts (2) are installed approximately in the center of both opposing sides of a box-shaped aquarium (1) with an open top surface.
This shaft (2) supports the water tank (1) with a bearing (3), so that the water tank (1) can rotate.

Furthermore, a sprocket (4a) is attached to the end of one shaft (2), and a deceleration motor (5) is installed on the frame of the base to which this sprocket l-(4al) and one bearing (3) are attached. Attach the sprockets (4b) to (5) and connect both sprockets (4a, 4bl) to the chain (6).
). By rotating the deceleration motor (5) in the forward or reverse direction, the water tank was rotated to the left or to the right. Further, a drainage valve (7) was provided at the lower part of one side of the water tank (1) on the side where the water tank (1) slopes down.

Next, FIG. 3 sequentially shows the work steps for carrying out the element using the underground mud machine shown in FIG. 1 and the loading platform (9) shown in FIG. 5.

First, the grass that you want to cut in the field is lined up horizontally, loaded onto a loading platform (1), and taken home. When putting the rushes into the aquarium, make sure that the rushes do not float up on top of the grass you want to place (see step 11).
)give.

(A) is a voice), etc., and a loading platform (9) with rushes (10) placed on it.
) is lifted and lowered into water WJ (1).

(t7) fixes the loading platform (9) in the water tank (]), tilts the tank (1) slightly so that the tips of the rushes (10) are lowered, and gradually pours muddy water in which dyeing material has been dissolved using a pump. The rush (10) has just been soaked.

At this time, if you fill the tank with muddy water while keeping it horizontal, the rushes may rise from the front and try to come out of the loading platform. However, because the tips of the rushes are lowered and the tank is tilted slightly, the rushes will float up from the base and try to come out, but the roots will hit the wall of the tank and the rushes will come out and not be disturbed. At the same time, the muddy water gradually permeates from the tips of the grass, preventing air bubbles from forming on the stems and preventing uneven dyeing.

In (c), when all the rushes (10) are submerged in muddy water, the valve (7) at the bottom is opened and the muddy water is drained out.

(d) rotates the deceleration motor (5) and the grass (10)
Tilt the tank (1) sharply so that the base of the
The muddy water remaining on the rushes is being flushed out by running down the stems.

Then, once the muddy water has flowed out, rotate the deceleration motor (5) in the opposite direction again to return the water tank (1) to its original position (a)
As shown in , take out the loading platform (9) using a hoist or the like.

By repeating the above series of work steps, a large amount of rushes can be submerged in mud in a short period of time.

In this case, a hoist is usually installed under the eaves of a farmer's warehouse, but if the eaves are low, even if a hoist is installed, it will not be possible to lift the rushes and put them into the aquarium.

Therefore, as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the other side surface of the aquarium shown in FIG. 1, which is opposite to the side surface on which the valve is attached, is provided with a door (8) that can be opened and closed.

By doing this, when putting the cargo platform (9) into the water tank, it is possible to put it into the water tank by using a forklift, as shown in FIG. 4, without using a hoist.

Then, by closing the door (8), which has a structure that prevents water from leaking,
You can do the same thing in the mud below.

Note that as a power device for tilting the water tank (1), instead of using a chain, it is also possible to combine gears such as a spur gear, a worm gear, etc., and move this with a motor.

<Effects of the invention> Conventionally, when rushes were stacked horizontally and submerged in mud, the dyeing was uneven and the dyeing was uneven, and when rushes were stacked vertically, it took time and effort to reload, and in addition However, according to the present invention, the water tank of the elemental machine can be tilted freely, eliminating uneven dyeing without having to be reloaded vertically, resulting in uniform dyeing. This has the effect of preventing the tip of the rush from bending when a weight is placed on top of it, and furthermore, preventing the workplace from getting dirty with muddy water.
