Japanese Patent No. 2706758

  However, the feeding unit ensures predetermined uniform spraying accuracy when the rotational speed is slowed down because the granule in each section partitioned by the impeller of the feeding roll is intermittently discharged at a constant angle. In addition, the shape of the feeding roll cannot be increased and there is a limit to spraying large amounts of fertilizer. In any case, it was impossible to solve the problem of work efficiency.

  The objective of this invention is providing the granule spraying apparatus of the sprayer which can process a large amount of fertilizer spraying efficiently while ensuring the chemical spraying of the small flow volume by predetermined uniform spraying precision.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a tank for storing a fertilizer granule, a feeding portion for feeding the granule from the bottom thereof, a first jet pipe for blowing and conveying the granule received from the feeding portion, In a granule spraying apparatus of a sprayer provided with a second jet pipe that communicates with the first jet pipe and sprays the granule, the feeding section is configured in parallel with two feeding rolls capable of individually controlling the number of rotations. And communicating with the first jet tube together.

  Since the above-mentioned granule spraying device discharges the medicinal fertilizer from the tank to the first jet pipe by the feeding operation of the two feeding rolls capable of individually controlling the number of revolutions, it is twice that from the single operating range. The total amount of discharge is distributed by the second jet tube.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the second jet tube communicates with the first jet tube via a flexible tube.
The spray position of the second jet tube can be changed by bending the flexible tube.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the feeding unit determines a feeding amount per time corresponding to a vehicle speed, and controls two feeding rolls according to the feeding amount. .
In the feeding section, the spray density is constant even when the traveling vehicle speed is changed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the feeding unit alternately selects from two feeding rolls when a single feeding roll is in operation.
The operation of the two feeding rolls is averaged by alternate selection.

The invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that, in the configuration according to claim 1, both feeding rolls of the feeding section are provided with a one-way clutch on one of the two half rolls.
The half-roll one-way clutch enables half feeding by reverse rotation control.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the both feeding rolls are driven with a predetermined rotational difference.
Due to the rotational difference between the two feeding rolls, the spraying agent is discharged from both rolls at different timings.

  In the granule spraying apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the fertilizer granule is discharged from the tank 11 to the first jet tube 13 by the feeding operation of the two feeding rolls 15 and 15 capable of individually controlling the rotation speed. From the single operating range, the feed amount that is twice that of the single operation range becomes possible, and the entire discharge amount is dispersed by the second jet tube 14. Therefore, it is possible to perform high-speed processing by spraying a large flow rate while ensuring uniform spraying accuracy during minimum discharge.

  In addition to the effect of the first aspect, the second spray tube can change the spray position by bending the flexible tube. Can be switched to the left or right of the aircraft.

  In the granule spraying apparatus of the invention according to claim 3, in addition to the effect of claim 1, the feeding portion can secure the spraying density without being related to the traveling vehicle speed.

Embodiments specifically configured based on the above technical idea will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, a spreader is configured by mounting a granule spraying device 2 on a riding management machine 1 capable of traveling on a field. That is, the passenger management machine 1 is equipped with the engine 3 at the front part, the steering handle 6, the control seat 7, and the spraying operation part 8 at the center part. It is configured so as to be able to travel in the field, and the granule spraying device 2 is attached to the rear of the machine body.

  The granule spraying device 2 has a tank 11 for storing a fertilizer granule, a feeding unit 12 for feeding the granule downward from the bottom thereof, and a granule received from the feeding unit 12 toward the rear of the machine body. It is comprised from the 1st jet tube 13 which blows and conveys, and the single 2nd jet tube 14 which communicates with this 1st jet tube 13 and disperses the whole granule.

  The feeding unit 12 has two feeding rolls 15, 15 arranged in parallel at the bottom of the tank 11 along the first injection pipe 13, and the first injection pipe 13 is rearward from the blower 16 provided at the front part of the tank 11. The second jet tube 14 is movably communicated through the flexible tube 17 by receiving air flow.

  The feeding portion 12 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, a cross-sectional view of the main part thereof, two feeding rolls 15 and 15 can be simultaneously fed to the first jet tube 13 directly below the roll case 21. The electric drive units 22 and 22 are individually provided so that the rotational speed can be individually controlled.

  In the granule spraying device 2 having the above configuration, the medicinal fertilizer is discharged from the tank 11 to the first jet tube 13 by the feeding operation of the two feeding rolls 15 and 15 of the feeding unit 12 capable of individually controlling the rotation speed. For this reason, a feed amount that is twice that of a single operating range is possible, and the entire discharge amount is dispersed by the second jet tube 14.

  Therefore, it can be easily configured by a single feeding portion using a normal feeding roll, and also ensures high speed processing by high-precision large-volume spraying with a large flow of air while ensuring uniform spraying accuracy at the minimum discharge. It becomes possible. For example, a high-speed spraying of 100 kg per unit of the solid organic fertilizer used as the manure becomes possible.

  In said structure, since a granule can be blown and conveyed efficiently by ventilation of a large flow rate, highly accurate large flow rate dispersion | distribution is attained. Further, since the two feeding rolls 15 and 15 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the first jet tube 13, the granule is discharged and conveyed in a well-balanced manner, so that the stagnation of the granule can be suppressed even when spraying a large flow rate. . Further, by forming a smooth guide surface between the roll case 21 and the lower half arc of the first jet tube 13, the granule is efficiently guided to the downstream side of the jet tube. It does not stay immediately below the rolls 15 and 15.

  The second injection tube 14 communicates with the first injection tube 13 via the flexible tube 17 and is provided with left and right support frames 18 and 18 for supporting the second injection tube 14 at left and right side positions. Alternatively, as shown in the plan view of the second jet tube support part in FIG. 3, by providing a pulley 19 on a support frame 18a in which both are gathered just above the first jet tube 13, a spraying range can be set as necessary. It can be switched to the left and right of the machine body, and in particular, when a large flow rate is dispersed, the work efficiency can be improved by reciprocating work. In addition, by providing a switching rod that connects the second injection tube to a part of the tank 11, the position of the second injection tube can be switched from the control seat 7 to the left and right.

(Roll drive control)
As for the control of the feeding section 12, as shown in FIG. 4, the flow rate characteristic chart automatically controls the roll rotation speed in conjunction with the work vehicle speed, and usually simultaneously feeds and distributes two rolls called “two-roll spray control”. When the spray setting amount deviates from the lower limit value R0 of the two-roll feed amount, it is switched to one-roll feed spray called “1-roll spray control”. By such switching control, a wide range of spraying control from large spraying to setting to small spraying setting becomes possible.

Specifically, A is the counter-splash application amount (kg / 10a), W is the application width (m), V is the vehicle speed (m / sec) measured by the vehicle speed sensor, C is the roll volume (cubic cm / rev), and D is the specific gravity. (G / cubic cm), R1 is the number of revolutions of 1 roll (1 / min), R2 is the number of revolutions of 2 rolls per minute (1 / min), and R0 is the minimum number of revolutions of the roll (1 / min). ,
R2 = A · 60 · W · V / (2 · C · D), R1 = A · 60 · W · V / (C · D),
Switch to R1 under the condition of R <R0.

  Further, even when the variable mode is used in the middle of the “1 roll spraying control” and the roll rotation range of the “2 roll spraying control” is reached, the maximum rotation range of 1 roll is maintained as “1 roll”. By configuring the spray control so as to continue "spread control", the conventional problem when switching automatically from one roll to two rolls, that is, the spray set amount is relatively small and the roll is low rotation There was a problem that the spraying agent discharged from the room between the impellers of the roll tends to intermittently discharge, but the above switching control eliminates such drawbacks and the spraying of the spraying agent continues, so the spraying accuracy Will stabilize and spread evenly.

  In addition, after switching to “1-roll spray control”, the spray set amount is increased again in the variable mode or the like, and when exceeding the maximum rotation range of 1 roll, control is performed to switch to R2 of “2-roll spray control”. By configuring the processing, it is possible to widen the spray setting range from small amount spraying to large amount spraying.

  In addition, when the field conditions change during spraying work and the work speed is reduced due to a rough road, the control process is configured to switch to 1 roll feed when the lower limit of the 2 roll feed amount is exceeded. To do. With this control process, even when the working speed changes suddenly due to an external factor, it is possible to perform spraying according to the spraying setting, and it is possible to prevent spraying agent from entering the field and improve spraying accuracy.

  In the above case, even if the vehicle speed increases and the two-roll control rotation range is reached, the problem of intermittent discharge due to low-speed rotation can be avoided by performing one-roll control up to a predetermined rotation speed range. In addition, when the vehicle speed has increased to the specified number of revolutions of 2-roll control, switching to 2-roll control can cope with an increase in spray flow rate as the vehicle speed increases, As the adaptability is improved, the uniform spraying performance is not impaired, and at the same time, wear of only one roll is prevented.

  In addition, when the working speed is reduced by the vehicle speed sensor and the lower limit of the roll rotation range in the two-roll control is deviated, the control is switched to the one-roll control, thereby performing the spray control in the automatic mode in the large-flow spray setting, and The adaptability in the constant vehicle speed range can be improved. In particular, even when the conditions of the traveling path are poor and work is performed at a constant speed, the automatic spraying mode can be used, so that it is possible to maintain convenient and uniform performance.

(Alternate control)
Also, for 1-roll control, by performing 1-roll control with one roll and then reaching the 1-roll control area again, by configuring a control process to perform 1-roll control with the other roll Further, it is possible to balance the wear of the roll by preventing the progress of the wear of one roll.

  In addition, the roll rotation direction is not constant, and the control process is configured so that the roll rotates in the reverse direction after rotating for a specified time, thereby preventing the occurrence of wear inside a specific roll case and extending the performance over a long period. In the conventional problem as described below, that is, when rotating in a certain direction, the granule filled in the room partitioned between the impellers and the inner periphery of the roll case are scraped by friction. The gap between the rotating diameter of the roll and the roll case is created, the leakage of the granules occurs, the spray setting amount does not match the actual spray amount, and the problem of overspraying is improved. it can.

  Further, instead of managing the specified time as described above, the cumulative number of rotations is set as a management value, and when this number of rotations is reached, it is possible to realize a longer life of the roll in the same manner as described above by reversing to the specified number of rotations immediately. it can.

(Roll split)
Next, roll division will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, the two main rolls 15 and 15 are each divided into two half rolls 15a and 15b, and a one-way clutch is provided on one half roll 15b. In the case of small amount spraying, by driving only one roll, the spray adaptability can be further improved from the small amount spraying to the large flow rate spraying as shown in the roll segment flow rate characteristic diagram of FIG. 5 (b). .

  In the medium flow rate distribution setting, the number of maintenance can be halved by equalizing the wear compared to the case where one of the conventional specific rolls is always selected by feeding and distributing both rolls by half-roll driving. Further, when setting a large flow rate spraying, it is possible to deal with a large flow rate spraying by all the half rolls by reversing both feeding rolls.

(Rotational difference control)
Next, by controlling the feeding by providing a rotation difference between both rolls, when the rotation of both rolls is in the same phase, the discharge is stopped until the start of feeding of the next room at the time of roll rotation at the time of low rotation. It is possible to solve the problem of the occurrence of time.

For example, the rotation speed of the left roll is controlled by 10% and the rotation speed of the right roll is controlled by 10%, that is, the rotation speed of the left roll is R1 (1 / min) and the rotation speed of the right roll is R2 (1 / min)
R1 = 1.1 · A · 60 · W · V / (2 · C · D),
R2 = 0.9 · A · 60 · W · V / (2 · C · D),
By doing, the fault that a spraying agent becomes discontinuous can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 which is an enlarged plan view of the feeding portion of another configuration, the drive side gear 31a is transmitted between the drive side roll shaft 31 and the driven side roll shaft 32 by gears 31a and 32a. And the driven gear 32a are provided with a rotation difference of several percent, for example, the number of drive side teeth is set to 30 and the number of driven side teeth is set to 25. can do.

  Next, another drive control example of the feeding roll will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the both rolls 15 and 15 are individually electrically driven, and each is provided with a dedicated operation switch. As shown in the plan view of the spray running operation, spraying using only one of the rolls is possible, and the application range of the spray amount can be expanded.

  Further, the transmission between the two rolls in FIG. 6 described above is configured at the same speed, that is, by making one roll shaft 31 electrically driven and between the two roll shafts 31, 32 by the same speed gear transmission. Since both rolls 15 and 15 can be arranged close to each other, a simple and low-cost single-drive feeding unit can be configured in a compact manner while having a plurality of rolls.

  In this case, both the rolls 15 and 15 are divided into two parts, and a one-way clutch is provided on each of the rolls 15b, and the electric drive unit 22 is rotated forward and reverse so that the rolls are automatically selected according to the discharge flow rate. By configuring the control process so as to perform the above, the spraying agent is always discharged by using the left and right rolls 15 and 15, so that the wear of the specific roll does not proceed and the life can be extended.

  Next, since the blower 16 is disposed between the control seat 7 and the tank 11, since a minimum number of bent portions of the jet tube or the blow tube can be provided in one place, a decrease in the air blowing force can be suppressed. It is possible to set a large flow rate application. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the transmission gears 31a and 32a between the rolls 15 and 15 avoid the rear part of the machine body and are positioned between the front end parts of the rolls 15 and 15 and the blower 16, thereby When the spraying agent remaining in 11 is discharged and collected, it is possible to secure the safety of the worker who performs the discharge work by providing a discharge-only shooter on the jet tube directly below the roll from the rear of the machine body.
