Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mud-dyeing apparatus for hay, and more particularly to a mud-dyeing apparatus for batch-processing hay with good workability.

(Prior Art) The rush, which is a raw material for a tatami table, is subjected to a mud dyeing treatment in which it is dipped in muddy water for glossing after being harvested in the field and before being dried.

Conventionally, as a method for dyeing mud in rush, JP-A-1-128801 has been used.
The one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication is known. This hay and grass is laterally stacked on the transport dipping frame 9 (reference is for the same publication), and after being pressed by the rod-shaped levitation stopper 13, the transport dipping frame 9 is transported by the electric hoist 11 to carry out the mud dyeing water tank 1
The mud water stored in the mud dyeing water tank 1 and stored in the ground water tank 4 is injected by the water supply pump 6 to perform mud dyeing.

Further, as the rush and the mud dyeing machine, the one disclosed in JP-A-63-13556 is known. This is a mud dyeing machine in which a container 2 of rush (the reference numeral is incorporated by reference) is stored in a water-tight mud tank 1, and the muddy water stored in the mud stirring tank 7 is injected into the mud tank 1 by a pump 10. Is supposed to do.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the former mud-dyeing method described above, since the rush is laid sideways on the transport dipping frame 9, when the mud-dye is injected, air is introduced into the bundle of rushes. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to uniformly dye the rush with mud, because air bubbles remain and remain. Further, the ground water tank 1 is formed in the ground by excavating the ground, but since the mud dyeing water tank 1 is installed on the ground,
When pumping mud water from the ground water tank 4 to the mud dyeing water tank 1, there is a problem that the pump head is high and the capacity of the water supply pump 6 must be increased.

In order to solve the problem that the mud dyeing becomes non-uniform due to the air bubbles described above, the rush may be stood up and stored in the container 2 as in the mud dyeing machine disclosed in JP-A-63-135556. However, since there is no means for pressing the muddy grass stored in the container 2, this muddy grass floats by buoyancy when muddy water is injected, and its upper end hits the ceiling of the muddy water tank 1 and breaks. There is a problem. By the way, since the tissue of the rush is sponge-like and the specific gravity of the muddy water is large, it receives an extremely large buoyancy in the muddy water. Therefore, how to prevent the rising of the grass to stand up becomes a major technical problem.

Also, mud dyeing work is generally performed on the farm premises,
The former mud water tank 1, the latter mud water tank 1, and the agitation and supply tank 7 are all large in size, installed on the ground, and have no storage and storage means. There was a problem that it became a thing.

Further, the mud-dyed turfgrass is subsequently transported to a drying device and dried. For this drying, the above-mentioned conventional ones take the turfgrass from the transport dipping frame 9 and the container 2 and dry it. It had to be transferred to the room, and there was the problem that this transfer work became a heavy labor. In particular, in this case, since the rush is soaked in muddy water, not only the weight becomes extremely heavy and labor is required, but also the worker is soaked in muddy water during the transfer work.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional means, and provides a grass mud dyeing treatment apparatus which is not only capable of uniformly and sufficiently mud-dying the grass, but is also extremely advantageous for the drying of the grass after mud-dying. The purpose is to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Therefore, according to the present invention, the rush is stored in the container 1 while standing upright, and the upper end of the rush is projected above the container 1. In addition, the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the mud water tank 32
Is formed in the ground where the ground is excavated, and the container 1 is stored in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 by the lift device 2. Further, a plate-shaped lid member 17 which is openably and closably covered on the upper part of the container 1, and an upper end portion of the rush which protrudes above the container 1 in a state where the container 1 is housed in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is covered with the lid member. Fixing means for fixing the lid material 17 to the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 so as to be pressed down by the means 17 is provided. Then, this fixing means is provided at the locked portions 23 and 24 provided on the lid member 17 and at the upper edge portion of the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 so as to detachably lock the locked portions 23 and 24. The locking heights of the locked portions 23, 24 and the locking portions 26, 28 are made up of the locking portions 26, 28 so that the closing height of the lid member 17 can be adjusted according to the length of the grass. The height is adjustable.

Furthermore, the container 1 is provided with a base portion 11 having a ventilation plate 9 which is breathable and on which grass is erected, a leg body 14 which supports the base portion 11, and both side portions of the base portion 11. A standing side wall 12 and a skirt plate 1 hung on both sides of the base 11.
3 and three containers 1 are arranged side by side so that they can also serve as a drying chamber.

(Operation) In the above configuration, when performing mud dyeing, the container 1 in which the rush is standing and stored is stored in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 by the lift device 2 so that the lid 17 prevents the rush from floating due to buoyancy. In this case, in this case, adjust the closing height of the lid member 17 according to the length of the rush that protrudes above the container 1 and press down while laying the upper end of the rush to prevent it from breaking. Then, the lid member 17 is closed.

Next, the muddy water in the muddy water tank 32 is caused to flow into the muddy dye treatment tank 4 by the pump device 33, and the grass is immersed in the muddy water. in this case,
Since the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the mud water tank 32 are formed by excavating the ground, the lift is small, and the pump device 33 may have a small capacity.

Then, the muddy water in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is returned to the mud water tank 32 by the pump device 33, the fixed state of the lid member 17 is released, and then the lift device 2 is used to finish the mud dyeing treatment in the container 1.
Is taken out from the mud dyeing treatment tank 4.

When the mud dyeing is finished, the grass is subsequently dried, but in this case, it is not necessary to unload the grass from the container 1, and if a large number of the containers 1 are arranged in parallel, a drying room is constructed.
If the hot air warmed by the heating furnace is sent to the lower side of the pedestal 11 and blown up from the ventilation plate 9, the grass on the ventilation plate 9 can be dried as it is.

(Example) Next, the Example of this invention is described, referring drawings.

The muddy water is returned to the muddy water tank 32. When the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the mud water tank 32 are formed in the ground by excavating the ground in this way, the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the mud water tank 32 are formed during the off season when mud dyeing is not performed.
Since it is underground, it is not only an obstacle, but the lift from the mud tank 32 to the mud dyeing tank 4 is also small, and the pump 3
The capacity of 6 can be reduced.

This mud dyeing treatment tank device has the above-mentioned configuration, and the mud dyeing treatment work will be described below.

The grass to be harvested in the field is bundled into a bundle of about one holding, and while standing against the horizontal member 16, it is stood up in the container 1 and stored. In this case, the lid 17 is removed as it interferes with the storage work. After storing the weeds A in the container 1 in this way, the container 1 is transported to the mud dyeing treatment facility by a truck.

Next, in the facility, the lid member 17 is attached to the container 1 by the chain 18, the hook 22 is hooked on the wire 21, the lift device 2 is operated to lift the container 1, and the container 1 is moved directly above the mud dyeing treatment tank 4. Let At this time, the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is empty, and the mud
It is stored in.

Then, the chain 25 is rewound, the container 1 is stored in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4, and the lid member 17 is covered while the upper end portion of the grass A is laid down as described above, and the fixing means 2 is used.
The lid member 17 is fixed to the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 by 3, 24, 26, and 28 so that the vegetation A does not float due to buoyancy.

Next, the pump 36 is driven to cause the muddy water in the muddy water tank 32 to flow into the muddy dyeing treatment tank 4, and the grass A stored in the container 1 is dipped in the muddy water for several tens of seconds. As the water level of the muddy water rises, the weeds A are gradually immersed in the muddy water from the lower end thereof. In this case, since the weeds A are stored in the container 1 in a standing posture, the air that forms bubbles inside the bundle of the weeds A There is no residue, and the grazing A can be completely immersed in muddy water.

Then, the pump 37 is driven to return the muddy water in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 to the muddy water tank 32. Then the fixing means 23, 24, 26, 28
Then, the chain 25 of the lift device 2 is rolled up, and the container 1 is lifted and taken out from the mud dyeing treatment tank 4. Next, the container 1 is landed on the floor surface, the lid member 17 is removed, and the floor surface is rolled by the casters 14 to move to the next drying step.

By arranging many of these containers 1 in parallel, the side wall 1
2 serves as a side wall of the drying chamber to form the drying chamber, and the skirt plate 13 and the skirt plate 1 below the base 11 are provided.
By feeding hot air warmed by a heating furnace (not shown) between 3 and blowing it up from the ventilation plate 9, it is possible to dry the weeds stored on the ventilation plate 9 in an upright posture. The legs need not be casters capable of rolling on the floor, and in that case, the container 1 may be transported by a forklift or the like.

By the way, since the structure of the weeds A is sponge-like and the specific gravity of the muddy water is large, when the container 1 loaded with the weeds A is dipped in the muddy water, the weeds A float by buoyancy and cannot be dipped in the muddy water. Therefore, this means is provided with the lid member 17, and the lid member 17 is fixed to the mud-dyeing treatment tank 4 by the fixing means 23, 24, 26, 28 to prevent the grazing A from rising. In this case, if the container 1 is lowered into the muddy water after storing the muddy water in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 in advance, the container 1 cannot be lowered due to the buoyancy of the rush A. Therefore, after the container 1 is lowered and stored in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 with the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 being empty, and the lid member 17 is fixed to the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 by the fixing means 23, 24, 26, 28. , The mud water in the mud water tank 32 is put into the mud dyeing treatment tank 4, and when the mud dyeing treatment is completed, the mud water in the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 is returned to the mud water treatment tank 32 to empty the mud dyeing treatment tank 4,
After being freed from buoyancy, the fixing means 23, 24,
26 and 28 are released.

Further, when the lid member 17 is lowered in the horizontal state and the container 1 is covered, the upper end portion of the grass A projecting above the container 1 is broken. Therefore, in this means, as shown particularly well in FIG. 4, the rush A is leaned against the horizontal member 16 on the left side and slightly tilted to be stored in the container 1 standing upright.
Then, the lid member 17 is suspended in the lift device 2 while being inclined in the same direction as the inclination direction of the upper end portion of the grass A, that is, in the downward right direction as illustrated. In such an inclined posture, the lid member 17
When the lever is lowered, the rod 24 is locked in the locking groove 29 of the metal fitting 28 (see the broken line in the figure), and when the chain 25 is further rewound, the lid member 17 rotates around the rod 24 in the N direction. Then, the upper end portion of the weeds A protruding above the side wall 12 is pressed down so as to lie on the cross member 16 side and the lid is closed. By closing the lid member 17 in this manner, the upper end of the rush A is not broken and the lid 17 can be closed reliably.

In addition, the length of the rush grass A is long and short. Therefore, in this means, the locking tool 26 and the metal fitting 28 have a plurality of locking grooves 27, 29.
The height of the lid 17 can be adjusted according to the length of the rush A. Further, since the muddy water is put into and taken out of the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the muddy water tank 32 by the pump device 33, the mud water is eventually agitated as the mud water is taken in and out by the pump device 33. The stirring means for preventing the sedimentation of the soil particles need not be specially provided, and the pump device 33 can also serve as the stirring means.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design changes are conceivable. For example, the lid member may be rotatably attached to the mud dyeing treatment tank by a hinge portion. By doing so, the mud dyeing treatment tank can be covered with the lid material when not in use, and the lid material can also serve as the lid plate of the mud dyeing treatment tank. In addition, the caster 14 and the skirt plate 13 are detachably attached to the base 11, so that the caster 14 and the skirt plate 13 can be removed from the base 11 when the container 1 is transported by a truck or when it is immersed in a mud dyeing treatment tank. You may be able to remove it.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the present invention, since the rush A is stored in the container 1 in the standing posture and subjected to mud dyeing, air does not remain inside the rush A and air bubbles do not occur. The rush A can be dyed uniformly, but in this case, the upper end of the rush A protruding upward of the container 1 is pressed down by the lid member 17 so that the upper end of the rush A is not broken, and The lid member 17 firmly prevents the standing rush grass A from floating due to buoyancy, so that mud dyeing can be sufficiently performed. Moreover, since the closing height of the lid member 17 can be adjusted according to the length of the grass A protruding above the container 1, it is possible to easily perform the closing work while avoiding breakage of the upper end of the grass A. You can Further, since the mud dyeing treatment tank 4 and the mud water tank 32 are formed in the ground by excavating the ground, the capacity of the pump device 33 can be reduced, and the mud dyeing treatment is performed during the off season when the mud dyeing of the weeds A is not performed. Since the tank 4 and the mud dyeing tank 32 are underground, they do not become an obstacle. Furthermore, this container 1 is also used for the drying work that follows mud dyeing.
Since it can be used as it is, the work of transferring from the container to the drying room, which was conventionally necessary, can be eliminated, not only the workability is improved, but also the worker gets wet with muddy water during the transfer work. Moreover, the working conditions can be significantly improved.
