JP6763505B2 - Simple dump truck - Google Patents

Description

The present invention is a device that adds a dump function by installing it on a truck or the like that does not have a dump function.
It is a device devised mainly for putting harvested paddy into the hopper of the drying area.

To enumerate the conventional methods of putting the harvested paddy into the hopper of the drying area.

A method of transporting and loading with a specially equipped dump truck.

A method in which a dedicated paddy container is attached and transported.

A method of packing in a container bag and transporting it.

The combine is still in operation while the paddy is being transported to the drying area. Considering work efficiency, we want to shorten the cycle time for the round trip to the drying area as much as possible. Although the specially equipped dump trucks can be put in quickly by the methods listed, the dump trucks are expensive and can be used for purposes other than paddy transportation, but the number of specially equipped dump trucks is not widely used by farmers.

Next, commercially available dedicated paddy containers, including leasing, have a high penetration rate of this transportation method, but mainly transport by spiral pumps by a rotating machine, and it takes more time than direct dropping of a dump truck. The equipment cost is next to the dump truck special equipment cost, but it is dedicated to paddy transportation and is not as versatile as a dump truck.

Finally, the method of packing in a container bag and transporting it is the highest in terms of cost if a hoist or other lifting device is installed in the drying area. The input time is between the three.

As mentioned above, all require power. As a farmer, it was necessary to devise a device that operates with inexpensive human power, has the same functions as a dump truck, and has general-purpose versatility.

In the simple dumping device of the present invention, the kinetic energy for pulling out the lifted loading platform is converted into potential energy by the tension of the swing bar by the loading platform, the rolling device for the lower front, and the swing bar suspended from the torii-shaped turret. Is a device that dumps. If it is heavy enough to be mounted on a light truck, the dump truck can be easily carried out manually.

In the prototype / practical machine, 1.2 cubic meters of two combine harvester Glen hoppers was put into the hopper of the drying place by one person faster than the conventional technology. The input amount could be adjusted in real time by finely changing the dump angle. (Special dump trucks are slow to respond because they use mechanical force)

It is a side view of the principle explanation seen from one side of the simple dump truck. It is a two-stage side view in which the loading platform is manually pulled out from FIG. 1 and dumped.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the apparatus of the present invention and shows an operating principle. It is basically symmetrical.
(1) is a torii-shaped turret (2) is a hanging hook. It is fixed to a torii-shaped turret. (3) is a swing bar. (A chain was used in the prototype / practical machine.) This (4) swing bar is connected to the lifting hook behind the loading platform (5).
This allows the loading platform to move smoothly on the rolling device. (Since it moves with a slight force, it was necessary to lock it while transporting paddy.)
Everything is in place. In FIG. 2, when the handle of (7) is raised and pulled out manually, the rear of the loading platform jumps up due to the tension of the swing bar. The solid loading platform is in the middle. The two-dot chain line carrier generally indicates that the dump has been completed.

We were able to demonstrate that the paddy can be used by carrying it out to the drying area with a prototype / practical machine. The height of the torii-shaped turret was also set to 1.5 meters for the prototype / practical machine. This height is a module that does not conflict with the road traffic law of vehicles. The appearance was well-balanced, and the prototype / practical machine could be assembled and disassembled in a short time, and the truck could be used for other purposes quickly.

In addition, if this device is installed, such as a work vehicle for small transportation, it is not necessary to tilt the cargo significantly to dump it.

Claims (1)

The swing bar, which is connected to the lower and front rolling devices and the hanging hooks of the torii-shaped turret, is also connected to the lifting hooks at the rear and end of the loading platform, and the tension of the swing bar supports the rear of the loading platform. Be done. In this way, the loading platform is a mechanism that is connected and held by the torii-shaped turret via the front rolling device and the rear swing bar, and moves forward with a slight force.
The cargo to be dumped is manually accelerated together with the loading platform by a handle provided in front of the loading platform to obtain kinetic energy. At the same time that the loading platform and the load move in the direction of the force, the rear of the loading platform becomes a pendulum movement due to the tension of the swing bar and rises. A dump truck having a structure that can be easily carried out of the loading platform by the sliding inclination (potential energy) to the front of the loading platform and the kinetic energy (inertia) applied by the human power of the cargo.
