Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a grain transport vehicle that loads and transports grains harvested and threshed by a combine harvester and stored in a grain tank.

Conventionally, grain was harvested and threshed using a combine harvester and stored in a grain tank, and when the grain tank was full, it was transported in bulk on the platform of a transport vehicle parked on the road.

However, the transport vehicles used by farmers usually transport crops with soil, such as harvested vegetables, combine harvesters, binders, or various working machines with mud on the running gear, so mud adheres to the loading platform.
When using this for transporting grain, it was necessary to carefully clean it to prevent mud or other substances from getting mixed into the grain. To avoid such cleaning work, you can purchase a special grain transport vehicle.

However, since the period of use is extremely short, such a method cannot be adopted due to cost considerations. Also,
The transported grains are dried in a dryer, but there were problems such as the difficulty of ejecting the grains from the loading platform of the transport vehicle.

The present invention has a rectangular grain transport tank located inside each of the gates on the loading platform of a transport vehicle which has side gates standing up on both sides and a rear gate that can be raised and opened and closed on the rear side. The grain transport tank is mounted so as to be movable back and forth and can be loaded and unloaded, an opening is provided at the top of the grain transport tank, and a grain removal cylinder with a shutter is connected to the rear lower part of the grain transport tank. By configuring the structure so that the position is lower than the upper side of the rear gate when it is upright and closed, and by moving the grain transport tank rearward with the rear gate folded down and open, the grain removal tube can be moved behind the loading platform. It is configured so that it can protrude rearward from the end, and solves the above-mentioned problems, and even with a large capacity, it is easy to load grain from a combine, and moreover, it allows a transport vehicle equipped with a grain transport tank to travel safely. The purpose is to make it possible.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
1 is a truck equipped with side gates 3, 3 on both sides, and a loading platform 2 on the rear side to which a rear gate 3a is screwed so as to be openable and closable, and the loading platform 2 has side gates 3, 3, and 3a. A rectangular grain transport tank 7 is mounted inside the tank. That is, the grain transport tank 7 is open at the top, and the brackets 8 fixed to the lower portions of both sides are provided with wheels 11, respectively.
... are pivotally supported, and these wheels 11 ... are mounted on the side gates 3, 3 to transport the grain to the grain transport tank 7.
The front part of the grain transport tank 7 is attached to a guard frame 14 erected at the rear of the driver's cab 13 by a mounting bracket 12.

The bottom plate 7a of the grain transport tank 7 is sloped so that the rear part is low and the center part is low, and a grain removal cylinder 25 is connected to the rear lower part of the grain transport tank 7. The grain removal cylinder 25 is located at a lower position than the upper sides of the upright side gates 3, 3 and rear gate 3a, and has a shutter 5 that is tilted downwardly toward the rear and can be opened and closed. A pair of left and right hanging rods 10, 10 are provided at the bottom of the rear end of the grain transport tank 7, protruding rearward, and a pair of ropes 23, 23 attached to the outer surface are provided protruding from the side gate 3. A pair of front and rear hooks 24,2
It is designed to be tightened by hooking the lower part onto 4.

Reference numeral 26 is a sheet having a plurality of loops 27a... on both sides, and when the grains are loaded into the grain transport tank 7 and transported, the sheets are unfolded and each loop 27a...
The hook 27b protrudes from the top of the grain transport tank 7.
If you hang it on ..., you can cover the opening at the top.

In the aforementioned transport vehicle, each time the combine harvester performs reaping and threshing work and the grain tank is full, the combine harvester is driven to approach truck 1 parked on a farm road or other nearby road. The auger 15 attached to the grain tank is placed in an upright position, and its discharge port is placed above the opening at the top of the grain transport tank 7, as shown in FIG. Pour into grain transport tank 7.

When the grain transport tank 7 is full, the sheet 26 is unfolded to cover the upper opening, and the loops 27a are hooked to the hooks 27b before being transported to the destination. At this time, grain removal cylinder 2
5 is connected to the rear and lower part of the grain transport tank 7 at a position lower than the side gates 3, 3 and rear gate 3a, so the bottom plate can be lowered to increase the capacity and the center of gravity in the loaded state can be lowered. can be lowered and stability can be improved. When the destination is reached, the ropes 23, 23... are removed, the rear gate 3a is folded down to the hanging position shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, and the grain transport tank 7 is moved rearward to remove the grain 25 and the hanging rods 10, 10 protrude rearward from the loading platform 2.

When bagging grains, suspend the paddy bag 16 from the hanging rods 10, 10, open the shutter 5 and pack the grains into bags, and when the bagging work is finished, close the shutter 5 and transfer the grains to the grain transport tank 7. is moved forward and fastened to the side gates 3, 3 by ropes 23, 23...

At that time, since the grain removal tube 25 and the hanging rods 10, 10 are stored on the loading platform 2, the rear gate 3a is erected and locked to the side cases 3, 3.

In addition, when supplying the grains in the grain transport tank 7 to the dryer 28 without bagging them, move the truck 1 closer to the dryer 28 as shown in FIG. It can be placed directly on top. At this time, if the grain removal tube 25 is made of a flexible tube, even if it is difficult to make the grain removal tube 25 directly face the input port 29, the grain removal tube 25 can be easily inserted into the input port 29 by bending the flexible tube. Moreover, by making it long, it can be discharged and supplied to a dryer located at a remote location.

When performing the above-mentioned grain discharge work, since the grain removal tube 25 is located at a lower position than the rear gate 3a and protrudes rearward from the rear end of the loading platform 2, the rear gate 3a is opened and the grains are allowed to hang down. In this state, the grain removal tube 25 can be easily discharged.

The present invention has a rectangular grain transport tank located inside each of the gates on the loading platform of a transport vehicle which has side gates standing up on both sides and a rear gate that can be raised and opened and closed on the rear side. The grain transport tank is mounted so as to be movable back and forth and can be loaded and unloaded, an opening is provided at the top of the grain transport tank, and a grain removal cylinder with a shutter is connected to the rear lower part of the grain transport tank. By configuring the structure so that the position is lower than the upper side of the rear gate when it is upright and closed, and by moving the grain transport tank rearward with the rear gate folded down and open, the grain removal tube can be moved behind the loading platform. It is configured to be able to protrude rearward from the end and has the following effects.

In other words, even if the loading platform of the transport vehicle is not cleaned, by mounting a grain transport tank on the loading platform, it is possible to remove grains from the transport vehicle that is normally used by farmers to transport various types of agricultural machinery and crops with soil. It is possible to transport it to a destination such as a place where a dryer is located or an appropriate storage area while preventing garbage such as sand and straw from getting mixed in, and thus the transport vehicle can be used effectively.

In addition, although the grain transport tank is large enough to be close to the inside of each gate and can transport a large amount of grain, the grain in the grain tank of the combine cannot be transported by the accompanying lifting device. This makes it possible to easily and evenly charge grains from the wide opening that is open over almost the entire upper part of the grain transport tank to the periphery and corners of the grain transport tank.

Furthermore, since the grain removal cylinder communicating with the grain transport tank is lower than the upper side of the gate of the loading platform, the capacity of the grain transport tank can be increased and stability can be improved. When discharging the transported grains, open the rear gate facing the grain ejecting tube, move the grain transport tank rearward, and set the grain ejecting tube so that it protrudes beyond the loading platform. This makes it possible to easily discharge grains from the grain discharge tube that protrudes rearward at a low position.

Furthermore, when the transport vehicle is being moved, the grain transport tank is moved forward, the grain removal cylinder does not protrude rearward from the transport vehicle's loading platform, and the rear gate is raised and closed to ensure safe travel. be able to.
