Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a collection of riding lawn mowers equipped with a grass collecting container at the rear of the machine body, which is composed of an upper hood and two grass collecting main bodies on the left and right. Relating to a grass container support structure.

[Conventional technology]

As mentioned above, as a structure in which the grass collecting container is attached to the rear of the fuselage as a split structure, a gate-shaped frame is attached to the rear of the fuselage, and a gate-shaped frame is attached to the rear of the fuselage, and a structure that extends from the gate-shaped frame is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-94037. There is a model in which the upper hood is attached to the extended support part, and the grass collector body is attached to the brackets provided at the corners of the gate-shaped frame.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned structure, the grass collector body is attached to the gate-shaped frame through a bracket, making the structure somewhat complicated. In addition, since the upper hood is also attached to a support extending from the portal frame, if you want to configure the upper hood to swing open and close in order to improve functionality, you will need to use the hinge for opening and closing the upper hood. Since a structure will be provided on the support portion, it is expected that the structure will become even more complicated in order to have sufficient strength.

The present invention has focused on the above-mentioned problems, and aims to obtain a swinging opening/closing structure for the upper hood while suppressing the complexity of the structure, and to simplify the mounting structure of the grass collector body.

[Means for solving problems]

The feature of the present invention is that in the above-mentioned grass collection container support structure for a riding lawn mower, a loop frame formed into an oblong rectangular shape is attached to the rear of the machine body, and the upper hood of the grass collection container is attached to the upper side of the loop frame. A locking member is attached to the grass collector main body, the locking member being pivotally supported so as to be swingable to open and close, and capable of being latched to both the lower side and the vertical side of the loop frame at a corner of the lower end of the loop frame. The grass collector body is configured to be detachable from the loop frame, and its functions and effects are as follows.

[Effect]

For example, as shown in Figure 1, loop frame 1
If the upper hood 8 is pivotally supported on the upper side 10a of 0 so that it can swing open and close, the upper side 10a can also be used as a swing shaft for swinging opening and closing. It can be configured simply.

Since the upper hood 8 is pivotally supported on the upper side 10a located further above the upper ends of the grass collector bodies 9A and 9B, if the upper hood 8 is opened upward, the image shown in FIG. As shown, the upper hood 8 moves upward, and the lower grass collector body 9
It is far away from A and 9B.

Thereby, when attaching and detaching the grass collector bodies 9A and 9B to and from the loop frame 10, the upper hood 8 does not get in the way, making the operation easier.

Furthermore, the grass collector body is installed using the corner part of the loop frame, and is configured to be latched in two places, the lower part of the corner part and the vertical part, so there is no need for a special latching bracket, etc. becomes.

Further, since the frame supporting the upper hood and the grass collector body is configured in a loop shape as described above, the upper hood and the grass collector body can be supported with sufficient strength.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, by effectively utilizing the structure of the loop frame, it is possible to obtain a swinging opening/closing structure for the upper hood and a detachable structure for the grass collector body while suppressing the complexity of the structure and maintaining sufficient strength. I was able to do that.

Furthermore, when the upper hood is opened upward, the upper hood is separated upward from the grass collector body, so the grass collector body can be easily attached and detached, and operability is also improved. .

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, an engine 3 is provided at the front of the aircraft supported by front wheels 1 and rear wheels 2, and a control unit 4 is provided at the center of the aircraft. The riding type lawn mower is configured so that the cut grass is sent to a grass collecting container 7 at the rear of the machine body through a duct 6.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the grass collecting container 7 includes an upper hood 8, two grass collecting main bodies 9A on the left and right,
9B, and a duct 6 from the mower 5 is inserted into the grass input port 8a of the upper hood 8. On the other hand, as shown in the figure, a leg portion 11 extends from the center of the lower side portion 10b of the loop frame 10 formed into a horizontally long rectangular shape, and a boss portion 1 at the rear of the fuselage
The leg portion 11 is removably attached to the loop frame 2, and the loop frame 10 is supported at the rear of the machine body. Then, the upper hood 8 is attached to the hinge member 13
It is attached to the upper side 10a of the loop frame 10 so as to be able to swing open and close.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the grass collector bodies 9A and 9B are constructed by attaching a support frame 15 that is rectangular in plan view to a grass collection bag 14 made of breathable cloth. The structure is such that a locking member 16 provided at the front end of the loop frame 15 is hooked to the corners of both ends of the lower side 10b of the loop frame 10. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking member 1
6 is manufactured by bending a plate material, and the first locking part 1
6a and a second locking portion 16b, and the first locking portion 16a is connected to the lower side portion 10b of the loop frame 10.
At the same time, the second locking portion 16b is engaged and attached to the vertical side portion 10c of the loop frame 10. As a result, the weight of the cut grass and the grass collector bodies 9A and 9B is transferred to the loop frame 1 through the first locking portion 16a.
0, supported by the lower side 10b of the grass collector main body 9A,
The downward swinging of 9B and the rattling around the longitudinal axis of the body are supported by the engagement action of the second locking portion 16b with the vertical side portion 10c.
