Description

本発明は、植物の葉や心の摘み取り作業の負担を軽減する摘み取り装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a picking device that reduces the burden of picking a plant leaf or heart.

キュウリ、イチゴ、トマトなどの果菜類の栽培では、果実の品質を高め、また病害にかかりにくくする等の理由により、不要な葉や心（芯ともいう）を摘み取る摘葉摘心作業が必要である。ここで、「摘葉」とは葉を摘み取る作業であり、また「心」とは枝や蔓の先端を指し、「摘心」とはこれを摘み取る作業である。摘葉摘心作業の対象となる葉や心は植物の株元近くに多いので、作業者は腰を曲げての作業を強いられることになり負担が大きい。また、摘葉の対象となる葉の中には病害を受けているものや、枯死したものもあり、快適な作業とは言えない。   In the cultivation of fruit and vegetables such as cucumbers, strawberries, and tomatoes, defoliation work is required to pick up unnecessary leaves and hearts (also called cores) for the purpose of improving the quality of the fruits and making them less susceptible to diseases. Here, “leaf picking” is a work of picking leaves, “heart” is a tip of a branch or a vine, and “pinching” is a work of picking this. Since there are many leaves and hearts that are the targets of plucking and plucking work near the plant stock, the operator is forced to work by bending his / her waist. In addition, some of the leaves that are subject to leaf removal are affected by disease and some have died, which is not a comfortable operation.

植物の刈り取り作業の負担を軽減するための技術として、従来、電動式の高枝切り鋏が知られている（特許文献１参照）。この電動式高枝切り鋏によれば、作業者は株元付近の葉なども腰を曲げずに切ることができる。また、長柄の先端に回転式のフレール刃を取り付けた構造の草刈機も知られている（特許文献２参照）。
特開２００１−３４００２３号公報 特開平９−２２４４４５号公報 As a technique for reducing the burden of plant mowing work, conventionally, an electric high-edition cutting shear is known (see Patent Document 1). According to this electric high branch cutting machine, the operator can cut leaves and the like in the vicinity of the stock without bending the waist. A grass mower having a structure in which a rotary flail blade is attached to the end of a long handle is also known (see Patent Document 2).
JP 2001-340023 A JP-A-9-224445

しかしながら、上記特許文献１に記載の高枝切り鋏では、葉を切り取るたびに毎回鋏を開閉させなければならないので作業効率が悪い上に、切った葉が周囲に散乱してしまい後始末が面倒である。また、上記特許文献２に記載の草刈機は、フレール刃により一度に多量の草を刈り取ってしまうので、摘葉摘心作業のように取り除く葉や心を選別して摘み取るような作業には不向きである。   However, in the high branch cutting culm described in the above-mentioned patent document 1, since the cocoon has to be opened and closed every time the leaf is cut, the work efficiency is not good, and the cut leaves are scattered around and the cleaning is troublesome. is there. Further, the mowing machine described in Patent Document 2 cuts a large amount of grass at once with a flare blade, and thus is not suitable for operations such as selecting and picking leaves and hearts to be removed, such as defoliation. .

本発明はこうした状況に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、植物の摘葉摘心などの摘み取り作業の負担を軽減する摘み取り装置を提供することにある。   This invention is made | formed in view of such a condition, The objective is to provide the picking apparatus which reduces the burden of picking work, such as the defoliation of a plant.

本発明の一態様は、摘み取り対象物を収容する収容部と、収容部内に回転自在に取り付けられ、動力により回転し、摘み取り対象物を該収容部内に引き込む引き込み回転体と、を備える摘み取り装置を提供する。引き込み回転体は、該引き込み回転体の先端と収容部の底板との間隙を摘み取り対象物が通過するように構成される。   One aspect of the present invention is a picking device that includes a storage unit that stores a picking target object, a retraction rotary body that is rotatably attached to the storage unit, rotates by power, and pulls the picking target object into the storage unit. provide. The retraction rotator is configured so that the object passes through the gap between the tip of the retraction rotator and the bottom plate of the housing portion.

この態様によれば、引き込み回転体の先端と底板の間隙に葉や心などの摘み取り対象物を挿入すると、引き込み回転体の回転により摘み取り対象物が挟持されて収容部内へと引き込まれるので、摘み取り作業を効率的に行うことができる。また、電動鋏やカッターなどを使う場合に比べて他の葉などを誤って摘み取ってしまうことが少なくなる。なお、引き込み回転体の先端と収容部の底板との間隙を調整可能な構造を採用すれば、種々の厚みを持つ摘み取り対象物に対して本発明の摘み取り装置を適用することができる。なお、「摘み取り対象物」には葉、心、茎、枝、蔓、雑草などが含まれるが、本発明は植物の摘み取り作業に限定されない。   According to this aspect, when an object to be picked such as a leaf or a heart is inserted into the gap between the tip and the bottom plate of the pulling rotary body, the picking target object is held by the rotation of the pulling rotary body and pulled into the housing portion. Work can be performed efficiently. In addition, it is less likely that other leaves will be picked by mistake compared to the case of using an electric rod or cutter. In addition, if the structure which can adjust the clearance gap between the front-end | tip of a drawing rotation body and the baseplate of an accommodating part is employ | adopted, the picking apparatus of this invention is applicable with respect to the picking target object with various thickness. The “picking object” includes leaves, hearts, stems, branches, vines, weeds, and the like, but the present invention is not limited to plant picking operations.

摘み取り装置は、引き込み回転体により引き込まれる摘み取り対象物を切断する切断刃をさらに備えてもよい。これにより、挿入される葉、心、枝などの摘み取り対象物が堅かったり厚みがあったりした場合でも、切断刃によってこれらの摘み取り対象物を切断するので、引き込み回転体の噛み込みが少なくなる。   The picking device may further include a cutting blade for cutting the picking target object drawn by the pulling rotary body. As a result, even when the picked objects such as leaves, hearts, and branches to be inserted are hard or thick, the picking objects are cut by the cutting blade, so that the retraction rotor is less bitten.

摘み取り装置は、収容部内に収容された摘み取り対象物を吸引除去する吸引機をさらに備えてもよい。これによって、摘み取った葉や心などの回収作業が容易になる。   The picking device may further include a suction machine that sucks and removes a target to be picked stored in the storage unit. This makes it easy to collect the picked leaves and heart.

引き込み回転体の一例は、中心軸に密集状態に植設されたブラシである。ブラシは好ましくはワイヤブラシであるが、樹脂製や竹枝などでもよい。引き込み回転体は、表面に突起のあるドラムや金属櫛が回転するような構造をしていてもよい。   An example of the pull-in rotating body is a brush planted in a dense state on the central axis. The brush is preferably a wire brush, but may be made of resin or bamboo. The pulling-in rotating body may have a structure in which a drum or a metal comb having a protrusion on the surface rotates.

本発明による摘み取り装置を、引き込み回転体を手元より離して配置する長柄構造としてもよい。こうすれば、作業者が腰を屈めたり脚立を使用したりする必要がなくなり、高所や株元付近での作業者の負担が軽減される。   The picking device according to the present invention may have a long handle structure in which the pulling rotary member is arranged away from the hand. In this way, it is not necessary for the worker to bend or use a stepladder, and the burden on the worker at a high place or near the stock market is reduced.

本発明の摘み取り装置によれば、植物の摘葉摘心などの摘み取り作業の負担が手作業の場合と比べて軽減される。   According to the plucking device of the present invention, the burden of plucking work such as plucking of plants is reduced as compared with the case of manual work.

本発明の一実施形態は、動力により回転する引き込み回転体を備え、当該引き込み回転体の回転により摘み取り対象物を挟持して収容部内に引き込むようにする摘み取り装置である。   One embodiment of the present invention is a picking device that includes a pulling rotator that is rotated by power, and that grips the object to be picked by the rotation of the pulling rotator so as to be pulled into the accommodating portion.

初めに、本発明に係る摘み取り装置を適用する作業について説明する。キュウリ、イチゴ、トマトなどの果菜類の栽培では摘葉摘心作業が必要である。これは、枝葉が茂りすぎて日当たりや風通しが悪くならないようにして、病害虫の発生を防止すると共に、心を摘み取ることで果実の品質を高める目的もある。従って、摘除の対象となるのは老葉や病葉だけに限られず、成葉の一部も含まれる。   First, the operation of applying the picking device according to the present invention will be described. In the cultivation of fruit and vegetables such as cucumbers, strawberries and tomatoes, defoliation is necessary. The purpose of this is to prevent the occurrence of pests by preventing the leaves and leaves from becoming too thick, thereby preventing the occurrence of pests and improving the fruit quality by picking the heart. Therefore, the target of pruning is not limited to old leaves and diseased leaves, but includes some adult leaves.

このような摘葉摘心を行うべき部分は、主に作物の株元部分に集中するので、作業者は屈んだ姿勢を長時間強いられることになる。そこで、このような作業の負担を軽減すべく、本発明の摘み取り装置が考案された。本発明の摘み取り装置の適用対象には、葉、心、茎、枝、蔓、雑草などが含まれるが、以下ではこれらを総称して「摘み取り対象物」とも呼ぶ。   Since the part that should be subjected to defoliation is concentrated mainly on the plant stock part of the crop, the worker is forced to bend in a long time. Therefore, in order to reduce the burden of such work, the picking device of the present invention has been devised. The target of application of the picking apparatus of the present invention includes leaves, hearts, stems, branches, vines, weeds, and the like, but these are also collectively referred to as “pick target” below.

図１は、本発明の一実施形態に係る摘み取り装置１０の全体構成を示す。摘み取り装置１０は、収容部１２と駆動モータ１８を備える。収容部１２の内部には中心軸とワイヤブラシと切断刃から構成される引き込み回転体３６が設けられている。駆動モータ１８のシャフトはフレキシブルシャフト１６に接続される。フレキシブルシャフト１６は、収容部１２に併設されたギヤボックス１４に接続される。   FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration of a plucking device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The plucking device 10 includes a housing portion 12 and a drive motor 18. A retractable rotary body 36 including a central axis, a wire brush, and a cutting blade is provided inside the accommodating portion 12. The shaft of the drive motor 18 is connected to the flexible shaft 16. The flexible shaft 16 is connected to a gear box 14 provided in the housing portion 12.

駆動モータ１８には、摘み取り装置１０を運搬操作するための把手２０が設けられている。収容部１２と駆動モータ１８とは、図示するように例えば５０ｃｍから１ｍ程度離して設けられる。これは、例えば高所や株元部分での摘葉摘心作業を立ち姿勢のまま行えるようにするためである。主に手元での摘葉摘心作業に使用する場合は、収容部１２と駆動モータ１８は近接していてもよい。   The drive motor 18 is provided with a handle 20 for carrying and operating the picking device 10. The accommodating portion 12 and the drive motor 18 are provided, for example, at a distance of about 50 cm to 1 m as illustrated. This is because, for example, the defoliation operation at a high place or at the base of the stock can be performed in a standing posture. In the case of using mainly for the defoliation operation at hand, the accommodating portion 12 and the drive motor 18 may be close to each other.

収容部１２には、収容部１２内で開口するパイプ２２が取り付けられている。このパイプ２２は駆動モータ１８と接続板２４によって接続されており、収容部１２の荷重を支えている。パイプ２２の後端にはホース２６が接続され、ホース２６は図示しない吸引機に接続されている。この吸引機によって、収容部１２内に収容された葉や心などの摘み取り対象物が図１中の矢印Ａの方向に吸引されて、図示しない回収容器に回収される。吸引機の代わりに、市販の掃除機を使用することもできる。また、吸引機を備える代わりに、収容部１２の下部に摘み取り対象物の回収袋を設けてもよい。   A pipe 22 that opens in the housing portion 12 is attached to the housing portion 12. The pipe 22 is connected to the drive motor 18 by a connection plate 24 and supports the load of the housing portion 12. A hose 26 is connected to the rear end of the pipe 22, and the hose 26 is connected to a suction machine (not shown). By this suction machine, objects to be picked such as leaves and hearts housed in the housing portion 12 are sucked in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 and collected in a collection container (not shown). A commercially available vacuum cleaner can also be used instead of a suction machine. Moreover, you may provide the collection bag of the picking target object in the lower part of the accommodating part 12 instead of providing a suction device.

図２は、収容部１２の構造を示す図である。収容部１２は、底板３０と、底板３０より起立する側板３２と、天板３４を含む。底板３０と側板３２とで、引き込み回転体３６により引き込まれた摘み取り対象物が一時収容される収容空間５４が形成されている。側板３２には切り込み３５が設けられている。この切り込み３５と底板３０により、摘み取り対象物を挿入する挿入口３１が形成されている。挿入口３１は、必ずしも摘み取り対象物の大きさよりも大きくする必要はない。後述するように、引き込み回転体３６の回転によって、挿入口３１より大きな葉であっても収容空間５４内に引き込むことができるからである。側板３２の左方には、作業者が誤って手指を挟まれないように正面板を設けておくのが好ましい。   FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the accommodating portion 12. The accommodating portion 12 includes a bottom plate 30, a side plate 32 that stands up from the bottom plate 30, and a top plate 34. The bottom plate 30 and the side plate 32 form a storage space 54 in which the object to be picked drawn by the pulling rotary body 36 is temporarily stored. The side plate 32 is provided with a cut 35. The notch 35 and the bottom plate 30 form an insertion port 31 for inserting the object to be picked. The insertion port 31 does not necessarily need to be larger than the size of the object to be picked. This is because, as will be described later, even a leaf larger than the insertion port 31 can be drawn into the accommodation space 54 by the rotation of the drawing rotor 36. It is preferable to provide a front plate on the left side of the side plate 32 so that an operator cannot accidentally pinch fingers.

収容空間５４の右方にはパイプ２２が開口している。図示しない吸引機の作用によって、収容空間５４内に収容された摘み取り対象物はパイプ２２内へと吸引される。収容空間５４の上部には傾斜天板５６が設けられている。傾斜天板５６と引き込み回転体３６との隙間はなるべく小さくすることが好ましい。これは、一旦収容空間５４内に収容された摘み取り対象物が再び収容部１２の外に出ないようにするためである。   The pipe 22 is opened to the right of the accommodation space 54. The object to be picked housed in the housing space 54 is sucked into the pipe 22 by the action of a suction machine (not shown). An inclined top plate 56 is provided in the upper part of the accommodation space 54. It is preferable to make the gap between the inclined top plate 56 and the drawing rotor 36 as small as possible. This is to prevent the object to be picked once accommodated in the accommodating space 54 from coming out of the accommodating portion 12 again.

側板３２には、引き込み回転体３６が軸支されている。引き込み回転体３６は、中心軸３８と、中心軸３８に植設されるブラシ４０と、切断刃４４と、中心軸３８から延伸し切断刃４４を支持する支持板４２から構成される。切断刃４４は柔らかい葉などを摘み取り対象物とするときには必ずしも必要ではない。中心軸３８の一方にはプーリ５８が嵌め込まれている。プーリ５８と、ギヤボックス１４の備えるプーリ５２の間にはベルト５０が架けられている。駆動モータ１８からフレキシブルシャフト１６を介してギヤボックス１４に伝達された回転力は、ギヤボックス１４により直交に伝動され、さらにベルト５０を介して引き込み回転体３６に伝達される。駆動モータ１８の代わりに空気や油圧により引き込み回転体３６を回転させてもよい。切断刃４４とともに、側板３２に第２の切断刃を設けてもよい。これによって、切断刃４４で切断できなかった摘み取り対象物をも切断することができるようになる。   A pulling rotary body 36 is pivotally supported on the side plate 32. The drawing rotor 36 includes a central shaft 38, a brush 40 implanted in the central shaft 38, a cutting blade 44, and a support plate 42 that extends from the central shaft 38 and supports the cutting blade 44. The cutting blade 44 is not always necessary when a soft leaf or the like is picked. A pulley 58 is fitted into one of the central shafts 38. A belt 50 is stretched between the pulley 58 and the pulley 52 provided in the gear box 14. The rotational force transmitted from the drive motor 18 to the gear box 14 via the flexible shaft 16 is transmitted orthogonally by the gear box 14 and further transmitted to the drawing rotor 36 via the belt 50. Instead of the drive motor 18, the drawing rotor 36 may be rotated by air or hydraulic pressure. A second cutting blade may be provided on the side plate 32 together with the cutting blade 44. As a result, the picking object that could not be cut by the cutting blade 44 can also be cut.

駆動モータ１８によって引き込み回転体３６が図１に示した矢印Ｂの方向に回転すると、中心軸３８に植設されたブラシ４０と切断刃４４も共に同方向に回転する。引き込み回転体３６は、ブラシ４０及び切断刃４４の外周面が、収容部１２の底板３０に対し、間隙６２を隔てて通過するように設けられている。これによって、挿入口３１に挿入された摘み取り対象物は、ブラシ４０と底板３０とによって挟持されて収容空間５４内に引き込まれる。従って、摘み取り対象物が何であるかによってこの間隙６２の大きさは異なる。代替的に、ブラシ４０と底板３０の間の間隙を調節可能な構造として、種々の厚さの摘み取り対象物に対応可能とすることもできる。なお、「厚さ」とは必ずしも一枚の葉や一本の枝の厚みを指すものではなく、複数の葉や枝を束にして挿入するような場合は、その束の厚さのことをいう。   When the pulling rotator 36 rotates in the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. 1 by the drive motor 18, both the brush 40 and the cutting blade 44 implanted in the central shaft 38 rotate in the same direction. The pull-in rotating body 36 is provided so that the outer peripheral surfaces of the brush 40 and the cutting blade 44 pass through the gap 62 with respect to the bottom plate 30 of the housing portion 12. As a result, the object to be picked inserted into the insertion port 31 is sandwiched between the brush 40 and the bottom plate 30 and drawn into the accommodation space 54. Therefore, the size of the gap 62 differs depending on what the object to be picked is. Alternatively, a structure in which the gap between the brush 40 and the bottom plate 30 can be adjusted may be applicable to picking objects of various thicknesses. “Thickness” does not necessarily refer to the thickness of a single leaf or branch, but when multiple leaves or branches are inserted in a bundle, the thickness of the bundle is Say.

引き込み回転体３６の回転速度は、一例では５００ｒｐｍ〜１０００ｒｐｍに設定される。これは、これ以上低い回転数であると、後述するような引き込んだ摘み取り対象物の細断がうまく行えないからである。しかし、摘み取り対象物の大きさや乾燥の程度などによって引き込み回転体３６の最適な回転速度は変化しうるので、上記数値は本発明の範囲を限定するものではない。   The rotational speed of the drawing rotor 36 is set to 500 rpm to 1000 rpm, for example. This is because if the rotational speed is lower than this, shredding of the object to be picked up as described later cannot be performed well. However, since the optimum rotation speed of the pull-in rotating body 36 can be changed depending on the size of the object to be picked, the degree of drying, and the like, the above numerical values do not limit the scope of the present invention.

次に、図３を参照して摘み取り装置１０の作用について説明する。作業者が把手２０を持って摘み取り装置１０を操作し、図３に示す矢印Ｃの方向に、摘み取り対象物を挿入口３１に挿入すると、摘み取り対象物は順に挟持、引き込み、細断、吸引の作用を受ける。   Next, the operation of the picking device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. When the operator operates the picking device 10 with the handle 20 and inserts the picking target object into the insertion port 31 in the direction of the arrow C shown in FIG. 3, the picking target object is sequentially sandwiched, pulled, shredded, and sucked. Affected.

図３（ａ）で、挿入口３１に摘み取り対象物６０を挿入する。引き込み回転体３６の回転によって、底板３０に対面するブラシ４０が摘み取り対象物６０に接触し、図３（ｂ）に示すように、底板３０とブラシ４０とで摘み取り対象物６０を挟持して収容部１２内に引き込んでいく。このとき、摘み取り対象物６０に枝などの堅い部分や厚みのある部分があった場合でも、切断刃４４により切断されるため、噛み込みによって引き込み回転体３６が停止することが少なくなる。そして図３（ｃ）に示すように、引き込み回転体３６によって摘み取り対象物６０が間隙６２に高速で引き込まれていくことで、特に面積の大きい葉のような摘み取り対象物は複数の破片に細断される。本願発明者らの実験によると、例えばキュウリの葉の場合では細断により容積が１／５程度に削減された。このように、引き込み回転体３６は摘み取り対象物の引き込みと細断の両方の機能を発揮する。   In FIG. 3A, the picking object 60 is inserted into the insertion port 31. The brush 40 facing the bottom plate 30 comes into contact with the object to be picked 60 by the rotation of the pull-in rotating body 36, and the picking target object 60 is held between the bottom plate 30 and the brush 40 as shown in FIG. It draws in the part 12. At this time, even if there is a hard part such as a branch or a thick part in the object to be picked 60, it is cut by the cutting blade 44, so that the retraction rotator 36 is less likely to stop due to biting. Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, the picking object 60 is drawn into the gap 62 at high speed by the pulling rotator 36, so that the picking object such as a leaf having a large area is divided into a plurality of pieces. Refused. According to the experiments by the present inventors, for example, in the case of cucumber leaves, the volume was reduced to about 1/5 by shredding. As described above, the pulling-in rotating body 36 exhibits both functions of pulling and shredding the object to be picked.

以上説明したように、本実施形態による摘み取り装置によれば、手で直接摘み取り対象物に触れることなく摘み取り作業が行えるので、快適に作業を行うことができる。また摘み取り対象物が引き込み回転体により細断された上で吸入除去されるので、容積が少なくなり回収作業の省力化が図れる。また、摘み取り作業の効率が向上するので、摘葉摘心作業の回数を増やすことができ、高品質果実の生産や減農薬栽培にも向いている。さらに、収容部１２と駆動モータ１８とを離して配置する長柄構造を採用すれば、株元部分や高所での作業においても作業者の姿勢を大きく変える必要がないので、作業者の負担が軽減される。   As described above, according to the picking device according to the present embodiment, since the picking work can be performed without touching the picking target directly by hand, the work can be comfortably performed. In addition, since the object to be picked is sucked and removed after being shredded by the retractable rotating body, the volume is reduced and the labor of the collection operation can be saved. Moreover, since the efficiency of the picking operation is improved, the number of leaf picking operations can be increased, which is suitable for the production of high-quality fruits and the cultivation of reduced agricultural chemicals. Furthermore, if a long handle structure in which the accommodating portion 12 and the drive motor 18 are arranged apart from each other is adopted, it is not necessary to change the posture of the worker greatly even when working at the stock portion or at a high place. It is reduced.

以上、本発明を実施の形態をもとに説明した。この実施の形態は例示であり、それらの各構成要素にいろいろな変形例が可能なこと、またそうした変形例も本発明の範囲にあることは当業者に理解されるところである。以下そのような変形例について述べる。   The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to each of those components, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. Such modifications will be described below.

引き込み回転体の中心軸に植設されるのはワイヤブラシに限られず、樹脂製や竹枝のブラシなどでもよい。またブラシの植設面積は摘み取り対象物に合わせて変更可能である。その例を、図４（ａ）〜図４（ｄ）に示す。ブラシの代わりに、表面に突起のあるドラムや金属櫛の回転により摘み取り対象物を引き込む構造としてもよい。   It is not limited to the wire brush that is implanted on the central axis of the drawing-in rotating body, and may be a resin or a bamboo branch brush. The brush planting area can be changed according to the object to be picked. Examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D. Instead of the brush, a structure may be adopted in which the object to be picked is drawn by rotation of a drum having a protrusion on the surface or a metal comb.

図５〜図７は引き込み回転体の別の実施例である。図５は、それぞれ逆方向に回転する引き込み回転体を上下に二段備え、その中央部に摘み取り対象物を挿入する形態である。図６は、中心軸を太くしてブラシの長さを短くした形態である。図７は、中心軸を四角形形状としてブラシを直線的に植設した形態である。   5 to 7 show another embodiment of the drawing rotor. FIG. 5 shows a form in which a pulling rotary body that rotates in the opposite direction is provided in two stages, and a picking object is inserted in the center. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the central axis is thickened and the brush length is shortened. FIG. 7 shows a form in which the brush is linearly planted with the central axis as a square shape.

図８（ａ）〜図８（ｄ）は、収容部の別の実施例である。図８（ａ）のように、収容部は幅広の形態でも良く、また、収容部の角に丸みを付けても良い。また、図８（ｂ）のように、底板の両側に板を設けることにより、挿入口から一度収容部内に引き込まれ、収容、細断された摘み取り対象物の断片が挿入口からこぼれ落ちないようにすることができる。また、図８（ｃ）及び（ｄ）に示すように、収容部の一部または全部を円筒形状とすれば、摘み取り対象物の円滑な収容を行うことができる。   Fig.8 (a)-FIG.8 (d) are another Example of an accommodating part. As shown in FIG. 8A, the accommodating portion may have a wide shape, and the corner of the accommodating portion may be rounded.
