Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle for cutting and harvesting leaf tobacco trunks and a method for harvesting and storing leaf tobacco trunks.
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a leaf-tobacco-stem harvesting harvesting vehicle and a method of harvesting and storing leaf-tobacco stems, which enables a series of operations from the cutting of leaf tobacco trunks to be planted in ridges to the drying thereof, with ease and with a small number of workers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one of the methods for harvesting leaf tobacco, leaf tobacco cultivated in a tobacco field is cut from the root of the trunk,
There is a method in which it is dried in a drying facility, and leaves are dried from the trunk of dried trunk tobacco to obtain dried leaf tobacco. Several apparatuses and harvesting methods for cutting and harvesting the leaf tobacco trunks to be planted in the ridges have been proposed for implementing this leaf tobacco harvesting method.

[0003] For example, according to the cigarette trunk harvesting vehicle disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-215219, an automatic trunk harvesting device mounted on the front portion of a trolley that is self-propelled across a ridge simultaneously cuts a tobacco trunk. A kerf for hanging is formed, and one worker on the boarding platform catches the cut tobacco trunk by hand and supplies it to the vertical transport conveyor, so that the tobacco trunk is on the rear side of the carriage. It is designed to be automatically transported on a pallet placed on the trunk table.

According to the leaf tobacco stem harvesting device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-143322, the leaf tobacco stems vegetated on the ridges are cut off at the same time by the cutting device mounted on the front part of the truck traveling parallel to the ridges. The cut tobacco groove for hanging is cut, and the cut leaf tobacco trunk is directly conveyed to the rear by the endless chain, and is tumbled while being guided in the predetermined direction by the tipping guide member at the rear end of the conveyor, and is aligned with the trunk stand. It is supposed to be placed.

Further, according to the cigarette trunk harvesting vehicle disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-55228, a cigarette trunk cutting device is provided at the tip of the self-propelled carriage, and a packing space for the trimmed tobacco trunk is provided at the rear side thereof. With a pallet to have, one worker manually processes the tobacco trunk cut by the tobacco trunk cutting device and stacks it backward, and the other stacked tobacco trunk is put on the pallet by another operator. It is supposed to be packed.

[0006]

In all of the above harvesting devices, a self-propelled trolley is provided with a mowing device for leaf tobacco trunks and a primary collection location for mowed leaf tobacco trunks. Since the primary collection of the cut trunks can be performed as a series of work, the work efficiency is significantly improved as compared with the case where a conventional worker manually cuts and collects the trunks. However, all of them are aimed at automatic cutting of the leaf tobacco trunks that grow on the ridges, automation of the work up to the primary accumulation, and labor saving,
No consideration is given to the continuity of the post-delivery and drying processes required for the cut tobacco stems.

That is, in the tobacco trunk cutting and harvesting vehicle described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-215219, the tobacco leaves automatically loaded on the pallet on the trunk mounting table are moved together with the pallet to the transporting vehicle and dried in the drying chamber. Since it is carried into the drying room, it is easy to carry it into the drying room, but like the case of the conventional trunk dry tobacco, it is hung on the hanging string one by one, and it is possible to carry out the drying work after cutting and harvesting. It does not contribute to labor saving. The same applies to the case of the leaf tobacco trunk harvesting device described in JP-A-3-143322, in which the leaf tobacco trunks loaded on the trunk stand are wrapped by a worker from the trunk stand into a harvested cloth or the like by a number capable of being manually transported. It is necessary to carry it into the drying room and hang it. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-55
The same applies to the case of the tobacco harvesting and harvesting vehicle described in Japanese Patent No. 228, although the tobacco trunks packed in a predetermined amount on the pallet can be reloaded into the transport vehicle together with the pallet.
Need one worker for packing on pallet,
Also, in the drying room, it is still necessary to unpack and hang each one on the hanging string.

The object of the present invention is to carry out various operations from mowing from ridges to drying treatment in a drying chamber as a series of operations, whereby a cutting and harvesting operation for obtaining trunk dry leaf tobacco and a drying chamber are performed. (EN) It is possible to obtain a harvesting vehicle for a leaf tobacco trunk and a method for harvesting and accommodating a leaf tobacco trunk, which makes it possible to greatly reduce the work of hanging the trunk in the field.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A leaf harvesting and harvesting vehicle according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems basically comprises a base that can run in parallel with ridges and a trunk of leaf tobacco that vegetates in the ridges. And a cutting blade for cutting the leaf tobacco, a posture changing means for changing the posture of the leaf tobacco trunk cut by the cutting blade from an upright state to a horizontal state, and a leaf tobacco trunk in a horizontal posture with its trunk portion sandwiched further rearward It is characterized by having a leaf tobacco trunk carrying means for carrying to and a leaf tobacco trunk storing basket movably mounted on the base at the carrying downstream end of the leaf tobacco trunk carrying means.

According to this harvesting vehicle, by running along the ridges, the leaf tobacco trunks vegetated in the ridges are sequentially cut off by the cutting blade, and the posture changing means changes the posture from the upright state to the horizontal state. To be done. The attitude changing means includes an endless belt or a transport chain in which the transport surface continuously changes from an upright state to a horizontal state while gradually raising the trunk, and a guide rod arranged along the transport surface of the chain. It may be due to a carrier chain that is moved rearward while displacing the trunk side upward and a tipping guide member arranged near the feed end of the carrier chain to guide it in a predetermined direction to cause it to fall. It may be a means for changing the posture in the horizontal direction.

The leaf tobacco trunk whose posture has been changed in the horizontal direction is
The trunk base portion is sandwiched by the leaf tobacco trunk transporting means and transported further rearward, and falls to the leaf tobacco trunk storage basket located below at the downstream end of the transport. The leaf tobacco trunk conveying means is optional, but may be a pair of flat belts or the like. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a compressed air jet for jetting compressed air from the trunk side to the tip side of the leaf tobacco trunk sandwiched and carried by the leaf tobacco trunk carrying means in the carrying path of the leaf tobacco trunk carrying means. Means are arranged. In this case, it is possible to reliably prevent the tobacco leaf laid on the trunk from hanging down, reduce the damage of the tobacco leaf coming into contact with other members of the device, and the leaf tobacco trunk transporting means. Ensure transfer to the leaf tobacco trunk storage basket.

[0012] Preferably, the leaf tobacco trunk accommodating basket is reciprocated in the transportation direction of the leaf tobacco trunk in synchronization with the transportation speed of the leaf tobacco trunk transportation means. As a result, it becomes easy to stack the fed leaf tobacco trunks in the storage basket at a predetermined interval and with a predetermined number of stages. Preferably, a partition plate is provided for each stage or for every plurality of stages. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the leaf tobacco trunk from moving inside the storage basket when the storage basket is erected during the subsequent drying process.
For each stage or multiple stages of stacked leaf tobacco trunks,
A sponge-like elastic material may be arranged near the trunk base.
Even in that case, the movement of the leaf tobacco trunk in the storage basket is effectively prevented. It is also desirable to attach casters to the bottom of the storage basket. When using the storage basket, the storage basket is placed on the base so that the bottom of the side to which the casters are attached faces the trunk side.

The reciprocating movement of the storage basket may be performed manually by a worker on the harvesting vehicle, or may be performed by an appropriate reciprocating mechanism conventionally known. In the case of manual work, it is desirable to arrange a plurality of rollers in the part of the base that corresponds to the movement trajectory of the storage basket, and in the case of an appropriate reciprocating mechanism, the mechanism is used as the base. It is attached so that the mechanism and the storage basket are connected by a hook or the like. A plurality of storage baskets are arranged on the base, and when a predetermined number of leaf tobacco trunks are stored in one storage basket,
The storage basket may be moved to any position on the base to be held in a non-moving state, and an empty storage basket may be separately arranged at the transport downstream end of the leaf tobacco trunk transporting means.

In this way, a predetermined number of leaf tobacco trunks are stored in one or a plurality of storage baskets, and then the side surface of the storage basket on which the leaf tobacco trunks are inserted is closed by a lid member. Then, the reaper and harvest vehicle is moved to the outside of the ridge, and the leaf-tobacco trunk storage basket is transferred to another transportation vehicle, which preferably has a pulley on the floor. The transport vehicle loaded with the storage basket moves from the field to the drying room, where the leaf tobacco trunk storing the storage basket is inverted with the trunk side facing upward.
Then, it is carried into the drying chamber with the posture kept as it is, and the storage baskets are aligned in a vertical arrangement. By using the storage basket equipped with casters on the side of the storage basket on the leaf tip side, it is easy to move from the transport vehicle to a predetermined position in the drying chamber.

A cutting device for cutting the sandwiched base portion of the leaf tobacco trunk to be sandwiched and transported may be arranged at the transporting end portion of the leaf tobacco trunk transporting means. In that case, the size and position of the storage basket are adjusted so that only the trunk tip side cut by the cutting device falls into the storage basket. By doing so, the length of the storage basket can be shortened, and the length of the trunk that originally does not need to be dried can be shortened, so that the drying efficiency in the drying chamber can be increased.

In the drying chamber, required drying is performed with the leaf tobacco trunk stored in the storage basket. After the drying is completed, the storage basket is carried out from the drying facility to the outside of the facility, the lid member is removed, and the dried trunk dried tobacco is taken out to carry out the leaf picking work. As described above, according to the harvesting vehicle for a leaf tobacco trunk and the method for harvesting / accommodating a leaf tobacco trunk according to the present invention,
Leaf tobacco stems cut from the ridges are stored in the storage basket on the harvesting vehicle and are not taken out from the storage basket until the drying in the drying chamber is completed. In other words, the work from the storage of the storage basket to the end of the drying process is only the transportation work of the storage basket. No unloading work is required. As a result, it is possible to perform various operations from cutting the ridges to the drying process in the drying chamber as a series of operations, and the labor required for obtaining the trunk dry tobacco is greatly reduced.
