Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a submerged direct seeding machine having a function of automatically adjusting a ground contact pressure and a soil cover pressure of a float according to hardness and softness of soil.

(Prior Art) In a flooded direct seeder that sows seeds directly into a paddy field, a float with a grooving tool on the bottom surface is floated on mud, and seeds are placed in the grooves formed by the grooving tool while running. The seeds are then sown and then the seeds are covered with soil from the left and right of the groove.

The float must be grounded at the proper pressure to form the optimum groove for seeding. Therefore, in the prior art, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-23913 (conventional example 1), a float is connected to a support frame attached to a mobile device via a parallel link to form a support frame. A grounding pressure applying means for elastically pressing the float is provided between the parallel link and the grounding pressure applying means. The grounding pressure applying means pivotally supports the lower end of the rod on the upper link, and the upper part of the rod protrudes from the support frame. And a spring for elastically pressing the upper link downward is disposed between the bracket and the upper link, and the spring is fitted on the rod.

Further, in order to cover the soil with an optimum amount, it is necessary to apply an appropriate soil covering pressure. For this reason, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 59-124410 (conventional example 2).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In Conventional Example 1, the point of application of the elastic force applied to the parallel links by the ground pressure applying means is always the pivotal support between the upper link and the rod, and the height of the float is high. Even if it changes, its position remains unchanged. Therefore, when the float is low, the ground pressure is weak, and when the float is high, the ground pressure is strong, and the amount of movement of the upper link determines the magnitude of the acting force of the spring as it is, and the fluctuation range of the acting force is large. It has a great influence on the groove formation.

In the above-mentioned conventional example 2, when the float moves up and down relatively with respect to the support frame, the soil cover also moves up and down with it, and the space between the soil cover and the support frame is connected by the parallel link. Since the distance is changed and the covering pressure applying means is formed of one substantially linear spring, the covering pressure also changes greatly, and it may be difficult to obtain an appropriate covering pressure.

Therefore, if the float ground pressure and the soil cover pressure are adjusted by switching with the hand lever, it is possible to secure an appropriate ground pressure and soil cover pressure, but the artificial switching is very troublesome. Since paddy fields have soil hardness and softness, and the frequency is high, it was not possible to artificially adjust to the soil hardness.

An object of the present invention is to detect the hardness and softness of soil and obtain an appropriate grounding pressure and soil covering pressure accordingly.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is provided with a float 21 having a grooving tool 20 vertically movable at the rear part of the mobile body 1, and a sowing chute for sowing seeds in the groove formed by the grooving tool 20. 26, a soil covering tool 23 for covering the groove seeds with soil, and an ammunition 30, 33 for biasing the float 21 and the covering material 23 in the ground direction, respectively, in a direct watering machine, In order to achieve, the following technical measures are taken.

That is, the grounding body 49 that runs on the ground surface that is the setting reference,
A detection body 51 that moves into the soil and detects the hardness of the soil is provided so as to be vertically swingable, and a first angle sensor 53 that detects a relative angular displacement between the grounding body 49 and the detection body 51 is provided. An actuator 76 that moves up and down the float 21 and the soil cover 23 is provided, an elevating arm 38 that moves up and down by the actuator 76 is provided, and a second angle sensor 80 that detects the angle of the elevating arm 38 is provided. The cord bodies 36 and 37 which respectively connect the float 21 and the soil cover 23 are provided, and when the soil is hard, the cord bodies 36 and 37 are connected by the signals of the first angle sensor 53 and the second angle sensor 80. When the soil is soft while loosening 37, pull up the cords 36, 37 to float 21
Also, a control unit of the actuator 76 is provided for raising and lowering the soil cover 23.

(Operation) As the mobile body 1 travels, a groove is formed by the groove making tool 20 of the float 21, seeds from the sowing chute 26 are sown in this groove, and the seeds in the groove are covered with the soil cover 23.

During this operation, the float 21 is applied with a predetermined ground pressure by the ammunition machine 30, and the soil covering tool 23 is applied with a predetermined earth cover pressure by the ammunition machine 33.

The soil in the paddy field is hard and soft, and if it is hard, the detector 51 will rise because the amount of entry into the soil will be small, causing a relative angular displacement with the ground contact 49, while the float 21 and the soil cover 23 will rise. And

Therefore, when the soil is hard, the first angular center 53 detects the relative angular displacement between the ground contacting body 49 running on the ground surface, which is the setting reference, and the detecting body 51 entering the soil. The actuator 76 is operated in the extension direction by the signal of the second angle sensor 80 that detects the angle of the elevating arm 38, and the elevating arm 38 is lowered to loosen the cords 36, 37, and the ammunition machine 30, 33
The float 21 and the soil cover 23 are pressed against the ground by the urging force of (1) to apply the ground contact pressure of the float and the soil cover pressure according to the hardness of the soil.

When the soil in the paddy field is soft, the detector 51 greatly penetrates into the soil, causing a relative angular displacement with respect to the ground contact 49, while the float
21 and the covering 23 are about to descend.

Therefore, when the soil is soft, the first angle sensor 53 detects the relative angular displacement between the grounding body 49 that runs on the ground surface, which is the setting reference, and the detection body 51 that deeply enters the soil. The actuator and the signal from the second angle sensor 80 that detects the angle of the elevating arm 38 actuate the actuator 76 in the contracting direction to elevate the elevating arm 38, and thereby the float 21 and the soil cover 23 via the cords 36 and 37. To raise the ground pressure and earth cover pressure.

With the above operation, the float 21 and the soil cover 23 in the floating state are automatically moved up and down according to the hardness of the soil in the paddy field to automatically adjust to the appropriate ground pressure and soil cover pressure.

This is detected by the first angle sensor 53, the detection signal is compared with the signal of the second angle sensor 80, and the actuator 76 is contracted to cause the cord-like bodies 36, 37 to move through the elevating arm 38.
The float 21 and the soil cover 23
The ground pressure of 21 and the soil pressure of the soil cover 23 are controlled to be small. If it is hard, extend the actuator 76 and loosen the cords 36, 37 to increase the ground pressure, etc.If it is soft, reduce the actuator 76 to tension the cords 36, 37 (pull them up). ), The ground pressure and the like are reduced, and the ground pressure and the soil cover pressure according to the hardness of the soil are automatically controlled here.

(Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, a grounding body and a detection body that enters the soil to detect the hardness of the soil are provided, and the relative angular displacement amount of both is detected by the first angle sensor, while the cord is A second angle sensor is provided on the float and the covering device side that are mounted as a floating structure on the strip, and the signals from both sensors actuate the actuator to cause the string to be relaxed and tensioned. Appropriate ground contact pressure and soil cover pressure can be automatically adjusted according to the hardness.

As a result, the seeding depth and the amount of soil cover can be appropriately adjusted according to the hardness of the soil, the uniformity of germination and the prevention of soil flow can be achieved, which is useful as a direct flooding machine.
