Description

The present invention relates to a lawn laying apparatus.

[Conventional technology]

As the above-mentioned lawn laying device, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. -3658, a structure in which the turf in a magazine arranged on the bed of the traveling body is fed out one by one by a lower feeding plate and then slide-guided to the ground via a guide belt. There was one.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The above-mentioned conventional structure is so constructed that the turf grass cut into a certain area can be automatically and sequentially attached.

By the way, Shishiba has a vigorous vitality and a fast growth rate.
When laying turf on a vast park plaza or golf course,
Since the total number of turfed grasses is a considerable number, it is common to lay out a certain distance between each turfed grass.

However, in the above-described conventional structure, the feeding of the sheets by the feeding plate is performed accurately at a constant interval, but the fed grass is dropped on the guide belt and then guided by the belt in the inclined posture. There is a great possibility that the spacing between the socks may differ depending on the degree of fall when dropped, and it may not be possible to always keep the spacing between the socks constant.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

A feature of the present invention is that the mat-shaped sod grass is slid down by its own weight and is continuously supplied in a tandem manner, and the supplied sod grass is fed at a constant speed near the end on the lower side in the supply direction of the supply device. And a second feeding mechanism that feeds the turf to the ground at a constant speed slightly faster than the first feeding mechanism with a predetermined distance below the first feeding mechanism. In point.

[Action]

The matting mattress is slid down by its own weight, and the matting grass is continuously fed without gaps. The first feeding mechanism feeds the matting lawn at a constant speed, and then the preceding matting lawn is fed by the second feeding mechanism. It is sent to the ground at a slightly faster speed. At that time, the subsequent turf is subjected to the feeding action by the first feeding mechanism, and therefore, the trailing turf is subjected to the action by the second feeding mechanism with a slight gap. Since both of the feeding mechanisms are driven at a constant speed, the gap between the above-mentioned floor grasses is always kept constant.

〔The invention's effect〕

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to accurately attach a large number of bed grass at regular intervals.

〔Example〕

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a lawnmower equipped with a lawn laying apparatus (1) according to the present invention. This lawn spreader is of a four-wheel riding type, and has a boarding operation section (2) at the front of the machine and a lawn loading section (3) for loading a large number of mat-like spread grass at the rear of the machine. A turf laying device (1) is provided behind it.

Next, the structure of the grass loading section (3) will be described. As shown also in FIG. 3, four rows of left and right in the container (4), three turf grasses (S) in each row are placed on the lawn board (5), and a large number of lawn boards are placed. (5) is stacked and stored. Further, at the center position on the front and rear sides of the container (4), the projections (6) for pushing the loaded turf plate (5) upward one by one.
Provided with a lifting and carrying mechanism (7), (7), each row of grass (S) from the uppermost grass stand (5) on the upper side of each container (4), (4) A feeding rotary member (8) for feeding toward the lawn laying device (1) is arranged. In addition, on the front and rear walls of the container (4), there are empty plate storage parts (9) in which the uppermost turf placing plates (5) on which turf feeding has been completed are arranged on both left and right sides.
A transfer mechanism (10) for transferring to (9) is provided.

The lifting / conveying mechanism (7), the feeding rotator (8) and the transfer mechanism (10) each have a transmission system configured to be synchronously driven with their timings shifted. That is, after the turf bed (S) is delivered by the delivery rotator (8), the transfer mechanism (10) transfers the empty turf plate (5), and then the one-rotation clutch mechanism (9). ), The lifting / conveying mechanism (7) lifts each stage. When the transfer mechanism (10) is operated, the feeding rotary member (8) is retracted and swung upward so as not to hinder the operation.

Next, the configuration of the grass laying device (1) will be described. This device (1) is a slide guide part (12) as a supply device in which each of the rows of turf grass (S) delivered by the delivery rotator (8) slides vertically in its row by its own weight, that is, slides down and continuously feeds. And a first delivery mechanism (13) for delivering the supplied bed grass (S) at a constant speed and a first delivery mechanism (13) near the lower end of the slide guide portion (12) in the supply direction. A second feeding mechanism (14) for feeding the turf grass (S) to the ground at a constant speed slightly faster than the first feeding mechanism (13) is provided at a predetermined distance on the lower side. The first and second delivery mechanisms (13), (14)
As shown in FIG. 2, each is composed of a cylindrical brush body, and is supplied with power from the machine body side and sends out the turf grass (S) toward the rear side of the machine body around the axis of the horizontal axis. It is configured to be rotationally driven in the direction. Further, the distance between the first feeding mechanism (13) and the second feeding mechanism (14) is set to be slightly longer than the length of one sheet of turf (S).

According to the above-mentioned structure, the bed grass continuously fed while sliding by its own weight is fed out at a constant speed at constant intervals by the first feeding mechanism (13), and then the first feeding mechanism is fed by the second feeding mechanism (14). It is sent to the ground at a speed faster than (13). Therefore, at the time when the preceding turf grass (S) is sent to the ground, the succeeding turf grass (S) is still being fed by the first feeding mechanism (13), so that the gap between the turf beds is always constant. It will be possible to secure it, and since the above-mentioned sending action is performed before sending it to the ground,
The gap is maintained accurately and constant.

It should be noted that reference numerals are added to the claims for convenience of comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the structures of the accompanying drawings by the entry.
