MUD-REMOVING STRUCTURE OF CROP SEEDLING HARVESTER

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a mud-removing transfer apparatus having a structure to remove attached mud by transferring a mud-removing claw in lateral direction relative to the transfer direction to attain sure and more effective mud- removing function such as the removal of the mud from a part unable to clean by conventional apparatus. ;CONSTITUTION: This harvester is provided with a clamping and hoisting apparatus 2 to hold a seedling dug out from the ground and lift and transfer the seedling backward in suspended state and a mud-removing transfer apparatus 3 receiving the seedling from the hoisting apparatus 2 and removing the mud of the root part while transferring the seedling backward. The mud-removing transfer apparatus 3 is composed of a transfer mechanism 3A to transfer the seedling backward and a mud-removing mechanism 3B driving and transferring a number of mud-removing claws 18 acting on the root part of the transferred seedling from under. An oscillation member 20 having a number of mud- removing claws 18 planted on the member is moved in interlocked state by a crank shaft 21 of the mud-removing mechanism 3B to apply an eccentric circular motion to the oscillation member on a plane along the transfer direction of the transfer mechanism 3A.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
