Description
本発明は、種籾を播種する種籾播種機に関し、更に具体的には、ドローンなどの無人飛行体やトラクタなどの移動体に搭載するための種籾播種機に関する。
The present invention relates to a seed rice seeding machine for sowing seed rice, and more specifically, to a seed rice seeding machine for mounting on an unmanned aerial vehicle such as a drone or a moving body such as a tractor.
近年、例えば、トラクターのロワ・リンク部に取り付けて、空気の吹き入れにより覆土へ点播する点播式播種機が開示されている(特許文献1)。また、農薬散布用無人航空機に関する技術も多数開示されている。例えば、特許文献2の無人飛行機の飛行経路制御システム及び無人飛行機の飛行経路制御方法がある。
In recent years, for example, a point-seeding type seeding machine that is attached to a lower link portion of a tractor and is spot-sown on a soil cover by blowing air has been disclosed (Patent Document 1). In addition, many technologies related to unmanned aerial vehicles for spraying pesticides are also disclosed. For example, there are a flight path control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle and a flight path control method for an unmanned aerial vehicle according to Patent Document 2.
特許文献1に記載されたトラクター取り付け型の播種機は、乗車している運転者がトラクターの移動方向や速度を調整しながら手動で播種機を操作することで、条播(一定間隔で種籾をまくこと)することができる。しかしながら、同じ機能の播種機を無人航空機に搭載できたとしても、操縦者は、離れた場所で操作しているため、条播したい位置、方向、タイミングで種籾を連続射出できない。
The tractor-mounted seeding machine described in Patent Document 1 allows the driver on board to manually operate the seeding machine while adjusting the moving direction and speed of the tractor to sow seeds at regular intervals. That) can be done. However, even if a seeder with the same function can be mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle, the operator cannot continuously inject seeds at the desired position, direction, and timing because the operator operates the seeds at a remote location.
また、特許文献2に記載されたような空中からの播種の場合、従来の播種機のような地面へ溝をつけるためのガイドがないため、種籾を地中に埋めることができない。エアガンのような原理で打ち付ける手法(エアコッキング方式)では、種籾一粒ごとにスポット圧力を与えない限り、空気は地面に当たると平行に流れてしまうため(層流という)、大量の籾殻を打ち付けようとしても吹き飛んでしまうという課題がある。
Further, in the case of sowing from the air as described in Patent Document 2, the seed paddy cannot be buried in the ground because there is no guide for making a groove in the ground like a conventional sowing machine. In the method of hitting with the principle like an air gun (air cocking method), unless spot pressure is applied to each grain of rice seeds, the air will flow in parallel when it hits the ground (called laminar flow), so let's hit a large amount of rice husks. However, there is a problem that it will be blown away.
本発明は、以上の課題に鑑み、条播したい位置、方向、タイミングで種籾を連続射出することができ、かつ、種籾を一定の深さに打ち込むことができる無人飛行体やトラクタなどに搭載される種籾播種機を提供することを目的とする。

The connecting portion 26 distributes the seed paddy 110 falling from the hopper 20 of the seed paddy tank 14 to the rows 38A to 38D of the delivery drum 38 in the delivery case 32.
前記送り出しケース32の下方には、送り出しベース50が設けられている。送り出しベース50は、図2に示すように、ケース52を有しており、ケース52は、種籾110を各送り出しホース70A~70Dに送り出しためのホース接続口54A~54Dを有する。前記送り出しケース32とホース接続口54A~54Dは、送り出しドラム38の各列38A~38Dに対応する送り出し通路34A~34Dによって接続されている。
A delivery base 50 is provided below the delivery case 32. As shown in FIG. 2, the delivery base 50 has a case 52, and the case 52 has hose connection ports 54A to 54D for feeding the seed paddy 110 to the respective delivery hoses 70A to 70D. The delivery case 32 and the hose connection ports 54A to 54D are connected by delivery passages 34A to 34D corresponding to the respective rows 38A to 38D of the delivery drum 38.
ホース接続口54Aには、例えば、送り出しホース70Bの一端が接続され、ホース接続口54Bには、例えば、送り出しホース70Aの一端が接続される。また、ホース接続口54Cには、例えば、送り出しホース70Dの一端が接続され、ホース接続口54Cには、例えば、送り出しホース70Cの一端が接続される。

Further, the feeding amount of the seed paddy 110 can be adjusted by the rotation speed of the feeding motor 36. The drive of the delivery motor 36 is controlled by the controller 120.
次に、図5及び図6を参照して、シューターユニット80A~80Dについて説明する。なお、シューターユニット80A~80Dの構成は基本的に同様のため、以下では、シューターユニット80Aを例に挙げて説明する。図5は、本実施形態のシューターユニットの構成を示す外観斜視図である。図6は、図5を#A-#A線に沿って切断し、矢印方向に見た断面図である。
Next, the shooter units 80A to 80D will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. Since the configurations of the shooter units 80A to 80D are basically the same, the shooter unit 80A will be described below as an example. FIG. 5 is an external perspective view showing the configuration of the shooter unit of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 5 cut along the lines # A- # A and viewed in the direction of the arrow.
シューターユニット80Aは、送り出しホース70Aの他端側に接続されており(図1参照)、種籾110を播種するものである。本発明のシューターユニット80Aは、歯車の回転によって生じる遠心力により、種籾110を下向きに打ち込むことを特徴としている。
The shooter unit 80A is connected to the other end side of the delivery hose 70A (see FIG. 1), and seeds 110 seeds are sown. The shooter unit 80A of the present invention is characterized in that the seed paddy 110 is driven downward by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the gear.
シューターユニット80Aは、略円筒状のシューターケース84と、シューターケース84内に配置された回転可能なシューターフィン100(シューター歯車)と、シューターフィン100を回転させるシューターモータ90と、シューターノズル94により構成されている。シューターケース84は、蓋86により開閉可能となっている。また、シューターケース84及びシューターノズル94は、ブラケット82により支持フレーム12に固定されている。
The shooter unit 80A is composed of a substantially cylindrical shooter case 84, a rotatable shooter fin 100 (shooter gear) arranged in the shooter case 84, a shooter motor 90 for rotating the shooter fin 100, and a shooter nozzle 94. Has been done. The shooter case 84 can be opened and closed by the lid 86. Further, the shooter case 84 and the shooter nozzle 94 are fixed to the support frame 12 by the bracket 82.
例えば、図1に示すように、シューターユニット80Aは、支持パイプ12Cの左側に固定されている。また、シューターユニット80Bは、支持台12Bの左側に固定され、シューターユニット80Cは、支持台12Cの右側に固定されている。また、シューターユニット80Dは、支持パイプ12Cの右側に固定されている。
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the shooter unit 80A is fixed to the left side of the support pipe 12C. Further, the shooter unit 80B is fixed to the left side of the support base 12B, and the shooter unit 80C is fixed to the right side of the support base 12C. Further, the shooter unit 80D is fixed to the right side of the support pipe 12C.
シューターケース84内のシューターフィン100は、複数の羽根102を有する回転体であって、シューターモータ90により回転可能となっている。
The shooter fin 100 in the shooter case 84 is a rotating body having a plurality of blades 102, and can be rotated by the shooter motor 90.
シューターノズル94は、移動体に搭載されたときに上下方向を向き、かつ、シューターケース84の右半分と重なり合うように配置されている。また、シューターノズル94は、上端のホース接続口96に送り出しホース70Aの他端が接続され、下端の射出口98から種籾110が下方に射出される。
The shooter nozzle 94 is arranged so as to face in the vertical direction when mounted on the moving body and to overlap the right half of the shooter case 84. Further, in the shooter nozzle 94, the other end of the delivery hose 70A is connected to the hose connection port 96 at the upper end, and the seed paddy 110 is ejected downward from the injection port 98 at the lower end.
シューターノズル94は、図6に示すように、シューターケース84と重なり合う部分の内側は除去されている。このため、シューターフィン100が回転しても羽根102がシューターノズル94にぶつかることなく、シューターノズル94から落下してきた種籾110を、各羽根102によって下方に送ることができる。
As shown in FIG. 6, the shooter nozzle 94 has the inside of the portion overlapping with the shooter case 84 removed. Therefore, even if the shooter fin 100 rotates, the blades 102 do not hit the shooter nozzle 94, and the seed paddy 110 that has fallen from the shooter nozzle 94 can be sent downward by each blade 102.
このようなシュータユニット80Aは、シューターモータ90のモータスピードにより、種籾110を打ち込む深度を調整可能である。シューターモータ90は、前記コントローラ120に接続され、その駆動が制御される。他のシューターユニット80B~80Dについても同様の構成となっている。
In such a shooter unit 80A, the depth at which the seed paddy 110 is driven can be adjusted by the motor speed of the shooter motor 90. The shooter motor 90 is connected to the controller 120 and its drive is controlled. The other shooter units 80B to 80D have the same configuration.
なお、コントローラ120は、例えば、種籾播種装置10をドローン(図示せず)に搭載した場合には、ドローンの操縦者によって遠隔で制御されてもよい。
Note that the controller 120 may be remotely controlled by the drone operator, for example, when the seed paddy seeding device 10 is mounted on a drone (not shown).
次に、本実施形態の作用を説明する。図示しないドローンには、種籾タンク14に種籾110を収納した種籾播種機10が搭載される。種籾播種機10の送り出しモータ36、ブロワ56、シューターモータ90は、コントローラ120によって駆動が制御される。コントローラ120は、ドローンの操縦者によって遠隔で制御される。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A drone (not shown) is equipped with a seed paddy seeding machine 10 in which the seed paddy 110 is housed in a seed paddy tank 14. The drive of the feed motor 36, the blower 56, and the shooter motor 90 of the seed paddy seeder 10 is controlled by the controller 120. The controller 120 is remotely controlled by the drone operator.
播種を行う場所までドローンを飛行させたら、制御装置120は、シューターユニット80A~80Dからの種籾110の射出を行いながら飛行を行う。具体的には、まず、種籾タンク14のホッパ20から連結部26を介して送り出し機構30の送り出しケース32内に種籾110を送る。送られた種籾110は、送り出しケース32内の送り出しドラム38の4つの列38A~38Dの上に振り分けられて落下する。
After flying the drone to the place where sowing is performed, the control device 120 flies while ejecting the seed paddy 110 from the shooter units 80A to 80D. Specifically, first, the seed paddy 110 is fed from the hopper 20 of the seed paddy tank 14 into the delivery case 32 of the delivery mechanism 30 via the connecting portion 26. The sent seed paddy 110 is distributed onto the four rows 38A to 38D of the delivery drum 38 in the delivery case 32 and falls.
送り出しドラム38の各列38A~38Dの上に落下した種籾110は、各列38A~38Dに、回転方向に等間隔で形成された凹部40に収容され、送り出しドラム38の回転によって、下方に配置された送り出しベース50の4つのホース接続口54A~54Dにそれぞれ搬送される。
The seed pad 110 that has fallen onto each row 38A to 38D of the delivery drum 38 is housed in recesses 40 formed at equal intervals in the rotation direction in each row 38A to 38D, and is arranged downward by the rotation of the delivery drum 38. It is conveyed to each of the four hose connection ports 54A to 54D of the delivery base 50.
例えば、列38Aの凹部40に収容された種籾110は、送り出し通路34Aを介して、送り出しベース50のホース接続口54Aに送られ、列38Bの凹部40に収容された種籾110は、送り出し通路34Bを介して送り出しベース50のホース接続口54Bに送られる。また、列38Cの凹部40に収容された種籾110は、送り出し通路34Cを介して、送り出しベース50のホース接続口54Cに送られ、列38Dの凹部40に収容された種籾110は、送り出し通路34Dを介して送り出しベース50のホース接続口54Dに送られる。
For example, the seed paddy 110 housed in the recess 40 of the row 38A is sent to the hose connection port 54A of the feeding base 50 via the feeding passage 34A, and the seed paddy 110 housed in the recess 40 of the row 38B is sent to the feeding passage 34B. It is sent to the hose connection port 54B of the delivery base 50 via. Further, the seed paddy 110 housed in the recess 40 of the row 38C is sent to the hose connection port 54C of the feeding base 50 via the feeding passage 34C, and the seed paddy 110 housed in the recess 40 of the row 38D is sent to the feeding passage 34D. It is sent to the hose connection port 54D of the delivery base 50 via.
ホース接続口54Aには、送り出しホース70Bの一端が接続され、ホース接続口54Bには、送り出しホース70Aの一端が接続されている。また、ホース接続口54Cには、送り出しホース70Dの一端が接続され、ホース接続口54Dには、送り出しホース70Cの一端が接続されている。
One end of the delivery hose 70B is connected to the hose connection port 54A, and one end of the delivery hose 70A is connected to the hose connection port 54B. Further, one end of the delivery hose 70D is connected to the hose connection port 54C, and one end of the delivery hose 70C is connected to the hose connection port 54D.
また、前記ホース接続口54A~54Dには、空気供給管60と、空気供給管60から分岐した空気供給管62、64によって、図3に示すようにブロワ56から空気が送られ、送り出しホース70A~70Dを通ってシューターユニット80A~80Dまで移動するように、種籾110が搬送される。
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, air is sent from the blower 56 to the hose connection ports 54A to 54D by the air supply pipe 60 and the air supply pipes 62 and 64 branched from the air supply pipe 60, and the delivery hose 70A The seed paddy 110 is transported so as to move to the shooter units 80A to 80D through the 70D.
このような送り出し機構30により、送り出しモータ36の回転によって、4つのシューターユニット80A~80Dに、平等に種籾110を送り出すことができる。また、送り出しドラム36の回転速度によって、種籾110の送り出し量が調整される。
With such a delivery mechanism 30, the seed paddy 110 can be equally delivered to the four shooter units 80A to 80D by the rotation of the delivery motor 36. Further, the feeding amount of the seed paddy 110 is adjusted by the rotation speed of the feeding drum 36.
シューターユニット80A~80Dに送られた種籾110は、シューターノズル94の上端のホース接続口96からシューターノズル94内に入る。シューターノズル94に入った種籾110は、シューターケース84と重なり合う部分から、シューターフィン100上に落下し、シューターフィン100の各羽根102の間の隙間の空間104に入り、シューターフィン100の回転による遠心力により、図6に示すように下方に射出される。
The seed paddy 110 sent to the shooter units 80A to 80D enters the shooter nozzle 94 from the hose connection port 96 at the upper end of the shooter nozzle 94. The seed paddy 110 that has entered the shooter nozzle 94 falls onto the shooter fin 100 from a portion that overlaps with the shooter case 84, enters the space 104 of the gap between the blades 102 of the shooter fin 100, and is centrifuged by the rotation of the shooter fin 100. Due to the force, it is ejected downward as shown in FIG.
より具体的には、シューターフィン100が高速で回転することにより、種籾110は、各羽根102の下に集まり、遠心力で外側に寄る。従って、円の仕切りがなくなった箇所(図6に破線で示す開口部88)でリリースされ、シューターフィン100で押される速度で、下向きに打ち込まれる。
More specifically, as the shooter fin 100 rotates at high speed, the seed paddy 110 gathers under each blade 102 and moves outward by centrifugal force. Therefore, it is released at the place where the partition of the circle disappears (the opening 88 shown by the broken line in FIG. 6), and is driven downward at the speed pushed by the shooter fin 100.
なお、シューターノズル94を落下する種籾110は、全てがシューターフィン100の外側に寄るわけではない。種籾110にかかる力は、回転モーメント、すなわち、シューターモータ90の回転する力(トルク)×回転中心からの距離となるため、シューターフィン100の内側(回転軸側)の種籾110は、回転モーメント不足で土への打ち込みの力が不足することになる。
Note that not all of the seed paddy 110 that falls on the shooter nozzle 94 approaches the outside of the shooter fin 100. Since the force applied to the seed pad 110 is the rotational moment, that is, the rotational force (torque) of the shooter motor 90 × the distance from the center of rotation, the seed pad 110 inside the shooter fin 100 (on the rotation axis side) has insufficient rotational moment. Therefore, the power to drive into the soil will be insufficient.
そこで、本発明では、回転不足の内側の種籾110は、開口部88の下端でシューターケース84に引っ掛かり、さらに1周回ることでモーメントが増加し、打ち込み時には、十分な力が加わった状態で射出される仕組みとなっている。なお、種籾110を打ち込む深度は、シューターモータ90のモータスピードにより調整可能である。

そして、シューターフィン100が高速で回転することにより、種籾110は、各羽根102の下に集まり、遠心力で外側に寄り、円の仕切りがなくなった開口部88でリリースされ、シューターフィン100で押される速度で、下向きに打ち込まれる。また、シューターフィン100の内側(回転軸側)の回転モーメント不足の種籾110は、開口部88の下端付近でシューターケース84に引っ掛かり、さらに1周回ることでモーメントが増加する。このため、打ち込み時には、十分な力が加わった状態で射出することができる。
Then, as the shooter fin 100 rotates at high speed, the seed paddy 110 gathers under each blade 102, moves outward by centrifugal force, is released at the opening 88 where there is no circular partition, and is pushed by the shooter fin 100. It is driven downward at the speed at which it is driven. Further, the seed pad 110 having insufficient rotational moment inside the shooter fin 100 (on the rotation shaft side) is caught by the shooter case 84 near the lower end of the opening 88, and the moment is increased by making one more round. Therefore, at the time of driving, it is possible to inject with sufficient force applied.
