(See Figure 5) In this case, the sensors S 2 and S 2 for detecting lodging
Since both do not detect, the switches 10a and
10b is in the state shown in FIG. Therefore,
While the planted stem culm is within a certain central range of path A,
In other words, straight traveling is performed with a small range where the movable contact a does not touch the fixed contact e and a small range where the movable contact c does not touch the fixed contact h as a neutral dead zone. Then, when the introduced stem culm shifts to the left, the contact 7a is swung beyond the dead zone, and the movable contact a is connected to the fixed contact e, and the electromagnetic valve 4 for left rotation
a is switched, and the left steering clutch brake 2a is operated by the hydraulic cylinder 3a.
Furthermore, when the stem culm shifts to the right side, the contact 7b is displaced and the contacts c and h are connected, and the right steering clutch brake 2b is operated in the same way, thereby moving the stem culm between the dividers 6a, 6b, and 6c. Follow-up steering is performed in a straight-line reference state located approximately in the center.

When the planted stem culm is lodging to the left. (6th
(See figure) In this case, only the left sensor S2 detects the stem culm, so the switches 10a and 10b are in the state shown in FIG. Therefore, only the movement of movable contact b is related to valve switching.
The range where the movable contact b is located midway between the fixed contacts e and f becomes a neutral dead zone. In other words, the neutral dead zone of the sensor S 1 in this case is shifted to the right side compared to the above case, and the position where the dividers 6a and 6b approach the left side of the left lodging culm is taken as a straight line reference.
Follow-up travel is performed using only one contactor 7a.

When the planted stem culm is lodging to the right. (7th
(See figure) In this case, since both sensors S 2 and S 2 detect the stem culm, the switches 10a and 10b are in the state shown in FIG. Therefore, only the movement of the movable contact d is related to valve switching, and the range where the movable contact d is between the fixed contacts i and j becomes a neutral dead zone. In other words, the neutral dead zone of the sensor S 1 in this case is shifted to the left side compared to the above case, and the position where each divider 6a, 6b, 6c approaches the right side of the right lodging culm is a straight line reference, and the other contactor Follow-up travel is performed using only 7b.

As described in detail in the embodiments above, the present invention provides an automatic steering control mechanism having the above-mentioned configuration with a sensor for detecting whether the planted stem culm is upright, falling to the right, or falling to the left. When detecting sideways falling, the neutral dead zone of the sensor is shifted in a direction opposite to the direction of falling of the stem culm from the position of the dead zone when the stem culm is upright;
When the stem culm is erect, the front end divider of the machine is located in the center between adjacent stem culm rows, which is the straight-line reference condition, and when the stem culm is falling sideways, the divider is inserted near the base of the lodging stem culm, which is the straight-line reference condition. Therefore, when the stem culms are erect or nearly erect, the distance between the stem culm rows to be introduced can be reduced by maintaining the divider approximately at the center of the adjacent stem culm rows. Even if there is some variation, it can be reliably introduced between each divider, and adjacent stem culm rows can be evenly divided by the divider in the center, and
When lodging horizontally, the divider can be inserted near the base of the lodging stem culm and the divider can be easily and reliably scooped up and raised up. In other words, according to the present invention, it has become possible to follow the stock on a straight-line basis, which allows the plant to perform a weeding function suitable for both upright and lodging positions.
