Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention uses a compost spreading vehicle, especially a compost spreading means installed at the rear end of the cargo bed, to spread the compost stored in the cargo bed to the rear of the vehicle body. Regarding the compost spreading vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, on farms, compost is spread at desired locations on the farm in order to promote the growth of plants or cultivated products. In some cases, this kind of compost is spread manually by farm workers, but in cases where the farm is relatively large, it is customary to use a compost spreading vehicle to spread the compost. It is.

However, various types of compost spreading vehicles have been proposed or put into practical use, and one example is a truck that has a loading platform for storing compost at the rear of the vehicle.
A shovel is provided at the tip of a lift mechanism such as a crane installed on the vehicle body, and the compost collected by the shovel is stored in the loading platform, and the stored compost is placed at the rear end of the loading platform. There is a structure in which the compost is spread toward the rear of the vehicle using a compost spreading means (for example, a rotary blade).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, since the conventional compost spreading vehicle does not take any measures for the surrounding structure of the compost spreading means at the rear end of the loading platform, the compost spread by the compost spreading means spreads over a very wide area from the top to the bottom at the rear of the vehicle body. It will be scattered over a wide area.

In this case, when the compost spreading vehicle is used in an orchard, etc., the compost spread by the compost spreading means and scattered upwards at the rear of the vehicle may adhere to the branches of trees that are being cultivated. This causes problems such as drying up.

In addition, since the compost spreading vehicle is used to spread over a very wide area as mentioned above, when using the compost spreading vehicle in a place where the compost spreading position is limited to a narrow range, such as inside a greenhouse,
This may cause various problems such as compost being sprayed onto the ceiling of the greenhouse or having an adverse effect on cultivated plants.

As a means to solve such problems, there is a manual aspuretsuta disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-2957, but this conventional example uses a cover body composed of a spring plate to prevent the covering action position. , is disposed movably in three positions: an upward scattering prevention action position and a scattering action position, but there is a problem that the device is expensive.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of the above circumstances, this idea was developed by improving the structure of the rear end of the loading platform of the compost spreading vehicle.
To provide an inexpensive compost spreading vehicle which can be used effectively in orchards etc. without killing trees by preventing the scattering of the compost scattered upwards to the rear of the vehicle, and can also be used inside a greenhouse. This was done as a technical problem, and the specific means is to have a loading platform for storing compost at the rear of the vehicle, and a rotary blade that spreads the compost toward the rear of the loading platform at the rear end of the loading platform. The upper part of the rotary blade is covered by a cover member, and each divided cover piece is divided at equal intervals in the vehicle width direction on an extending portion of the cover member extending rearward from the loading platform. The upper end of the cover is rotatably connected via a pin member, and is suspended by its own weight.

[Effect]

According to the above means, while the compost spreading vehicle is running in a farm or the like, the compost stored in the loading platform at the rear of the vehicle body is continuously spread toward the rear of the vehicle body by the compost spreading means installed at the rear end of the loading platform. By doing so, the compost is scattered at desired locations such as on farms.

In that case, in the compost spreading vehicle, a cover is attached above the rear end of the loading platform to prevent the compost spread by the compost spreading means from scattering upward. When the compost spread by the cover is discharged from the loading platform to the rear of the vehicle, it is spread downward at the rear of the vehicle.

Therefore, when this compost spreading vehicle is used in an orchard, etc., the compost will not adhere to tree branches, etc., and the compost will be scattered only towards the lower end of the tree and its surroundings. Furthermore, when this compost spreading vehicle is used in a plastic greenhouse, the compost will not be sprayed onto the ceiling of the plastic greenhouse, and the compost will be spread well in a narrow spraying area.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the compost spreading vehicle 1 according to this invention has a loading platform 2 provided at the rear of the vehicle body.
Compost X is stored in the loading platform 2, and the compost spreading vehicle 1 includes a shovel 3 and a lift mechanism for collecting the compost X and loading it onto the loading platform 2 from above. 4 is equipped.

A plurality of rotary vanes 5...5 are arranged at the rear end of the loading platform 2 as a compost spreading means for spreading the compost X stored in the loading platform 2 toward the rear of the vehicle body. The rotating blades 5...5 are configured to be rotationally driven in the direction of arrow a via a rotating shaft 6 by a drive mechanism (not shown).

The upper part of the rear end of the loading platform 2, that is, the upper part of the rotating blades 5...5 is covered by a cover plate 7, and the covering plate 7 is formed to extend rearward from the rear end of the loading platform 2, A cover 8 is attached to the rear end of the extending portion 7a over the entire length in the vehicle width direction.

The cover 8 consists of divided covers 8a, which are divided at equal intervals in the vehicle width direction, and adjacent side edges of each divided cover piece 8a are overlapped, and the divided cover pieces 8a are overlapped with each other. The upper end of 8a is connected to the extending portion 7a of the cover plate 7 via the pin member 9.
It is rotatably connected to the rear end and maintains a suspended state due to its own weight.

Although not shown, if necessary, a transfer conveyor or the like may be provided at the bottom of the loading platform 2 as a means for pushing the compost X stored in the loading platform 2 backward.

To explain the operation of the compost spreader 1 having the above-mentioned configuration, when the compost spreader 1 is traveling and the rotating blades 5...5, which are the compost spreading means, are rotated in the direction of arrow a, the compost X stored in the loading platform 2 is stirred up by the rotating blades 5...5 and then spread out from the rear end opening 10 of the loading platform 2 toward the rear of the vehicle body.

In this case, the compost
After being ejected backward along the lower surface of the extending portion 7a, it is ejected downward along the front surface of the cover 8. Therefore, when using this compost spreading vehicle 1 to spread the compost X stored in the loading platform 2 to the rear of the vehicle body, the action of the cover 8 causes the compost X to be directed upward from the opening 10 at the rear end of the vehicle body. The situation where the compost would scatter in the past is definitely avoided, and the compost X is now scattered downward at the rear of the vehicle.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, a cover is provided above the rear end of the loading platform of the compost spreading vehicle to prevent the compost stored in the loading platform from scattering upward when the compost is spread by the compost spreading means. Because of this, when using this compost spreading vehicle in an orchard, etc., problems such as compost scattering upwards and adhering to tree branches, etc., resulting in trees dying can be avoided, and This compost spreading vehicle can be used effectively even in a greenhouse or the like where the compost spreading area is extremely narrow and there is a risk of various harmful effects if the compost scatters upward. or,
Since the structure is simply provided with a plurality of divided cover pieces, it has the advantage of being inexpensive.
