Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、草刈機に装備されるブレードに関し、詳しくは、駆動軸の軸心周りで一体回転するディスクと刈刃とを備えたディスク形ブレードに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の草刈機においては、駆動軸の軸心周りに回転するブレードとして、その両端部に刈刃と起風翼とが形成されたバー形のものを採用することが一般的であった。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−45826号公報(段落番号0031、図2、図4−6)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、バー形ブレードを採用すると、その回転に伴ってブレードの回転中心側で発生する風切り音によって作業時の騒音が激しくなる不都合が生じていた。
【0005】
そこで、ブレードの回転中心側で発生する風切り音の低減を図るために、その回転中心側の回転領域を覆うディスクを設けることも考えられるが、この場合、ブレードの回転に伴って、その両端部側の草刈り領域において、起風翼による上向きの気流が発生するだけとなることから、刈草を、ブレードを上方から覆うハウジングの排出経路に案内して排出口から機外や集草容器に向けて排出する所謂ディスチャージ作業を行うものにおいては、刈草の排出口からの排出を比較的良好に行えるものの、刈草をブレードの刈刃で細断してハウジング下方の草間に埋没させる所謂マルチング作業を行うものにおいては、刈草を下方の草間に向けて流下させる領域であったブレードの回転中心側の回転領域をディスクで覆うことから、細断した刈草をハウジング下方の草間に埋没させることが行い難くなるとともに、ディスク上に刈草が堆積して作業に悪影響を及ぼすようになっていた。
【0006】
本発明の目的は、草刈り作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら作業性に優れたものにすることにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
〔構成〕
上記目的を達成するため、本発明のうちの請求項1に記載の発明では、駆動軸を中心とするディスクと、そのディスクの径方向外方箇所で草を刈り取る刈刃とを、前記駆動軸の軸心周りで一体回転する状態に備え、前記ディスクに複数の貫通孔を形成するとともに、前記ディスクの回転に伴って前記貫通孔を通る気流を生起する複数の起風体を設けて構成してある。
【0008】
〔作用〕
上記の構成によると、作業時にはディスクと刈刃とが駆動軸の軸心周りで一体回転し、その刈刃によって、ディスクの径方向外方箇所にある草が刈り取られ、そのディスクによって、ブレードの回転中心側での風切り音の発生が抑制される。
【0009】
そして、このブレードを装備するモーアが、刈草を、ブレードを上方から覆うハウジングの排出経路に案内して排出口から機外や集草容器に排出するディスチャージ作業を行うものである場合には、起風体によって生起される気流がディスクの下方から上方に向かう方向性を持ってディスクの貫通孔を通るように起風体を設けておけば、その気流によって、刈草をハウジングの排出経路に沿ってより速やかに排出方向に流動させることができる。
【0010】
又、このブレードを装備するモーアが、刈草を刈刃で細断してハウジング下方の草間に埋没させるマルチング作業を行うものである場合には、起風体によって生起される気流がディスクの上方から下方に向かう方向性を持ってディスクの貫通孔を通るように起風体を設けておけば、その気流によって、刈草をディスク上に堆積させることなく貫通孔を通してハウジング下方の草間に良好に埋没させることができる。
【0011】
〔効果〕
従って、ディスチャージ作業を行うものにおいては、上向きの気流を生起させる起風体を設けたディスクによって、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら、刈草の排出をより効率良く行える作業性に優れたものにすることができ、又、マルチング作業を行うものにおいては、下向きの気流を生起させる起風体を設けたディスクによって、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら、刈草をハウジング下方の草間に良好に埋没させる作業性に優れたものにすることができる。
【0012】
〔構成〕
本発明のうちの請求項2に記載の発明では、上記請求項1に記載の発明において、前記起風体を前記ディスクに対して着脱可能に設けてある。
【0013】
〔作用〕
上記の構成によると、ディスクに装着する起風体を、ディスクの下方から上方に向かう方向性を持ってディスクの貫通孔を通る気流を生起させるもの又は状態と、ディスクの上方から下方に向かう方向性を持ってディスクの貫通孔を通る気流を生起させるもの又は状態とに付け替える、あるいは、ディスクに装着する起風体の数量を調節する、といったことが可能になる。
【0014】
その結果、ディスクに対する起風体の付け替えを行うだけで、ディスチャージ作業を行うものとマルチング作業を行うものとに容易に対応させることができる。又、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、ディスクに装着する起風体の数量を多くして起風体で生起される気流量を多くすることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、ディスクに装着する起風体の数量を少なくして起風体の装着による負荷の増大を軽減することで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、作業負荷の軽減を図りながら良好に行える。
【0015】
〔効果〕
従って、起風体の付け替えでディスチャージ作業とマルチング作業とを行える経済性に優れたものにできる上に、刈り取る草の状態に応じた好適な草刈り作業を行えるより作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0016】
〔構成〕
本発明のうちの請求項3に記載の発明では、上記請求項1又は2に記載の発明において、前記貫通孔を閉塞する閉塞体を、前記ディスクに対して着脱可能に設けてある。
【0017】
〔作用〕
上記の構成によると、ディスクに対する閉塞体の着脱によって、起風体で生起された気流が通る貫通孔の数量を調節できる上に、不要な貫通孔による風切り音の発生を防止できる。
【0018】
その結果、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、貫通孔を閉塞する閉塞体の数量を少なくして貫通孔を通る気流量を多くすることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、貫通孔を閉塞する閉塞体の数量を多くして風切り音を発生させる貫通孔の数量を減少させることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら良好に行える。
【0019】
又、作業時に作業能力を重視する場合には、貫通孔を閉塞する閉塞体の数量を少なくして貫通孔を通る気流量を多くすることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没をより速やかに行わせることができ、逆に、作業時に騒音の低減を重視する場合には、貫通孔を閉塞する閉塞体の数量を多くして風切り音を発生させる貫通孔の数量を減少させることで、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図れる。
【0020】
〔効果〕
従って、刈り取る草の状態に応じた好適な草刈り作業を行える上に、作業能力を重視する作業形態や騒音の低減を重視する作業形態の切り換えを容易に行えるより作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0021】
〔構成〕
本発明のうちの請求項4に記載の発明では、上記請求項1又は2に記載の発明において、前記駆動軸の軸心周りでの前記ディスクに対する相対回動で、前記貫通孔を開放する位置と閉塞する位置とにわたって位置調節可能な閉塞体を設けてある。
【0022】
〔作用〕
上記の構成によると、ディスクに対して単一の閉塞体を回動させることで、起風体で生起された気流が通る各貫通孔の大きさを一挙に調節できる。
【0023】
その結果、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、閉塞体による各貫通孔の閉塞量を小さくして各貫通孔を通る気流量を多くすることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、閉塞体による各貫通孔の閉塞量を大きくして各貫通孔によって発生する風切り音を減少させることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没を、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら良好に行える。
【0024】
又、作業時に作業能力を重視する場合には、閉塞体による各貫通孔の閉塞量を小さくして各貫通孔を通る気流量を多くすることで、刈草の排出や草間への埋没をより速やかに行わせることができ、逆に、作業時に騒音の低減を重視する場合には、閉塞体による各貫通孔の閉塞量を大きくして各貫通孔によって発生する風切り音を減少させることで、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図れる。
【0025】
〔効果〕
従って、各貫通孔の開度調節を行う際の操作性の向上を図りながら、刈り取る草の状態に応じた好適な草刈り作業を行える上に、作業能力を重視する作業形態や騒音の低減を重視する作業形態の切り換えを容易に行えるより作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0026】
〔構成〕
本発明のうちの請求項5に記載の発明では、上記請求項1〜4のいずれか一つに記載の発明において、前記ディスクの外周部に、前記刈刃を、前記駆動軸に対して平行に配備される支軸を介して、その支軸の軸心周りでの前記ディスクに対する前記刈刃の相対揺動を許容する状態に連結するとともに、前記ディスクの回転に伴う遠心力で、前記刈刃が、刈り取り対象の草を前記ディスク側に抱き込みながら刈り取る所定の刈取姿勢に維持されるように構成してある。
【0027】
〔作用〕
上記の構成によると、作業時には、刈刃が所定の刈取姿勢に維持されることで、刈り取り対象の草を刈刃の先端側外方に逃がすことなく確実に刈り取れる。
【0028】
しかも、刈刃は、石などに接触した場合には、その支軸の軸心周りで遠心力に抗する方向に逃げるようになり、その結果、石などとの接触に起因した刈刃の損傷を効果的に抑制できる。又、仮に刈刃が損傷しても、その殆どの場合には、損傷した刈刃の交換のみを行うだけで対処することができる。
【0029】
〔効果〕
従って、刈り取り性能の向上を図れる上に耐久性やメンテナンス性に優れたものにできる。
【0030】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1には乗用形草刈機の全体側面が、図2には乗用形草刈機の全体平面が示されており、この乗用形草刈機は、走行機体1の前部に縦向きの軸心周りに追従操向自在に配備されたキャスター型の左右一対の前輪2と、走行機体1の後部に駆動輪として配備された左右一対の後輪3との間に、モーア4を昇降操作可能に装備したミッドマウント形式に構成されている。
【0031】
図1及び図2に示すように、走行機体1は、その前部側に搭乗運転部5が形成され、その後部側に原動部6が配備され、搭乗運転部5は、主フレーム7の前部側に敷設した搭乗ステップ8、主フレーム7の後部側に配備した運転座席9、運転座席9の左右に揺動操作可能に装備した変速レバー10、及び、主フレーム7における運転座席9の後部箇所に立設した転倒保護フレーム11、などから形成されている。
【0032】
図1及び図3に示すように、原動部6は、主フレーム7の後方に位置するエンジンフレーム12に搭載したエンジン13、エンジン13の下部前方に配置した伝動装置14、伝動装置14の左右に分配装備した一対の静油圧式無段変速装置15、及び、対応する静油圧式無段変速装置15から左右の後輪3にわたる左右の減速装置16、などから、エンジン13からの動力を伝動装置14に伝達するとともに、その動力を伝動装置14において左右の走行用と作業用とに分配し、伝動装置14からの左右の走行用の動力を、対応する静油圧式無段変速装置15によって変速した後、左右の減速装置16を介して左右の対応する後輪3に伝達し、かつ、伝動装置14からの作業用の動力を、伝動軸17を介してモーア4の駆動部18に伝達するように構成されている。
【0033】
又、原動部6において、左右の減速装置16は、主フレーム7とエンジンフレーム12とを連結する中継フレームに兼用され、伝動装置14及び一対の静油圧式無段変速装置15は、中継フレームに兼用される左右の減速装置16を連結する中間フレームに兼用されている。
【0034】
走行機体1において、左右の変速レバー10は対応する静油圧式無段変速装置15に連係されており、左右の各変速レバー10を操作すると、その操作に基づいて対応する静油圧式無段変速装置15が独立変速操作され、それらによる各変速後の動力が左右の対応する後輪3に伝達される。
【0035】
つまり、走行機体1は、左右の変速レバー10を操作して一対の静油圧式無段変速装置15を独立変速操作することで、左右の後輪3への伝動を停止する停止状態、左右の後輪3に等速の前進動力又は後進動力を伝達する直進状態、左右の後輪3に異なるの前進動力又は後進動力を伝達する緩旋回状態、左右の後輪3のうちの一方への伝動を停止し、かつ、他方に前進動力又は後進動力を伝達するピボット旋回状態、及び、左右の後輪3のうちの一方に前進動力を伝達し、かつ、他方に後進動力を伝達するスピン旋回状態を現出できる。
【0036】
図1〜3に示すように、走行機体1における搭乗ステップ8の前部左右中央箇所には、左右の各減速装置16に内蔵された制動機構19に、左右向きの回動軸20や左右一対の連係ロッド21などを介して連係される単一のブレーキペダル22と、このブレーキペダル22の制動位置での保持を可能にするロックペダル23とが左右に隣接配備されており、ブレーキペダル22を踏み込み操作することで、左右の制動機構19による制動操作を行うことができ、又、ロックペダル23によってブレーキペダル22を制動位置に保持することで、左右の制動機構19を駐車ブレーキとして機能させることができる。
【0037】
図1、図2及び図4〜7に示すように、モーア4は、主フレーム7にリンク機構24を介して昇降可能に吊り下げ支持されたハウジング25内に、草刈り用の3枚のブレード26を、駆動部18に伝達された作業用の動力で、対応する縦向きの駆動軸27を介してその軸心周りに等速回転駆動されるとともに、それらの回転軌跡の一部が前後方向視で重複するように、又、各重複箇所では左側のブレード26が後方に向けて移動し右側のブレード26が前方に向けて移動する状態に回転方向を設定して、左右方向に並べて配備することによって構成されている。
【0038】
図2及び図4〜7に示すように、ハウジング25は、その下方が開放されるとともに右側端部に排出口28が形成されており、その内部に対するバッフルプレート29の着脱によって、各ブレード26で刈り取った草を、各ブレード26の回転に伴って生起される気流で、ハウジング25の前部側に設けた排出経路30に案内して排出口28から機外に排出する所謂サイドディスチャージ作業を行う状態〔図4及び図6参照〕と、各ブレード26で刈り取った草を、各ブレード26の回転に伴って生起される気流で、各ブレード26によって細断させるとともにハウジング25の下方の草間に埋没させる所謂マルチング作業を行う状態〔図5及び図7参照〕とに、容易に変更できるように構成されている。
【0039】
図4〜9に示すように、各ブレード26は、対応する駆動軸27にその軸心を中心にして連結されるディスク31、そのディスク31の外周部に、その周方向に一定間隔を隔てるとともに、その外周から外方に向けて延出する状態に連結装備される4枚の刈刃32、及び、ディスク31における各刈刃32からブレード26の回転方向上手側に一定間隔を隔てた位置に、その外周から外方に向けて延出する状態に連結装備される4枚の起風翼33などによって、その回転中心側にディスク31を有するディスク形に構成され、対応する駆動軸27とその軸心周りで一体回転する。
【0040】
各ディスク31は、その周方向に一定間隔を隔てる4つの貫通孔34と、各貫通孔34に対する回転方向上手側の隣接箇所において上下方向に膨出する4つの起風体35と、各刈刃32に対する3つずつの連結孔36と、各起風翼33に対する2つずつの連結孔37とが形成され、その回転に伴って、各起風体35が対応する貫通孔34を通る気流を生起する。又、ディスク31には、ディスチャージ作業用のものとマルチング作業用のものとがあり、ディスチャージ作業用のディスク31Aは、その回転に伴ってその下面側から上面側に向かう方向性を持った上向きの気流を生起させるように各起風体35が下向きに膨出形成され〔図4、図6及び図8参照〕、逆に、マルチング作業用のディスク31Bは、その回転に伴ってその上面側から下面側に向かう方向性を持った下向きの気流を生起させるように各起風体35が上向きに膨出形成されている〔図5、図7及び図9参照〕。
【0041】
各刈刃32は、各辺に刃部38を備える正三角形状に形成され、その中央部には、ディスク31への取り付けを可能にする4つのネジ孔39が穿設され、ディスク31の連結孔36に対応させるネジ孔39を変更することで、3つの刃部38から使用する刃部38を選択でき、作業時における石などとの接触で使用中の刃部38が損傷した場合には、ディスク31や起風翼33は当然のことながら、刈刃32を交換しなくても、ディスク31に対する刈刃32の取り付け姿勢を120度変更するだけで対処できる。
【0042】
各起風翼33は、その一端側にディスク31への取り付けを可能にする2つのネジ孔40が穿設され、その他端側には、その回転に伴って上向きの気流を生起する起風部41が屈曲形成されている。そして、作業時に石などとの接触で起風翼33が損傷した場合には、ディスク31や刈刃32を交換しなくても、損傷した起風翼33を変更するだけで対処できる。
【0043】
以上の構成から、サイドディスチャージ作業を行う場合には、図4及び図6に示すように、ハウジング25をサイドディスチャージ作業用に変更し、各ブレード26としてディスチャージ作業用のディスク31Aを装備したものを使用すれば、作業時には、各ブレード26が駆動軸27の軸心周りに回転するのに伴って、各刈刃32が、ハウジング25内でディスク31の径方向外方箇所にある刈り取り対象の草に作用して刈り取り、各起風翼33が、上向きの気流を生起して刈り取り対象の草を刈刃32による刈り取りが行い易い状態に起立させるとともに、刈草をハウジング25の排出経路30に案内して排出口28から機外に排出させ、各ディスク31Aが、ブレード26の回転中心側での風切り音の発生を抑制するとともに、その各起風体35によって生起される上向きの気流で、刈草の排出口28から機外への排出を促進させるようになる。
【0044】
又、マルチング作業を行う場合には、図5及び図7に示すように、ハウジング25をマルチング作業用に変更し、各ブレード26としてマルチング作業用のディスク31Bを利用したものを使用すれば、作業時には、各ブレード26が駆動軸27の軸心周りに回転するのに伴って、各刈刃32が、ハウジング25内でディスク31の径方向外方箇所にある刈り取り対象の草に作用して刈り取り、各起風翼33が、上向きの気流を生起して刈り取り対象の草を刈刃32による刈り取りが行い易い状態に起立させるとともに、刈草をハウジング25の上部側に案内し、各ディスク31Bが、ブレード26の回転中心側での風切り音の発生を抑制するとともに、その各起風体35によって生起される下向きの気流で、ハウジング25内の刈草を各貫通孔34を通してハウジング25の下方にある草間に埋没させるようになる。
【0045】
つまり、サイドディスチャージ作業を行う場合には、ディスチャージ作業用のディスク31Aを装備することで、モーア4を、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら、刈草の排出をより効率良く行える作業性に優れたものにでき、又、マルチング作業を行う場合には、マルチング作業用のディスク31Bを装備することで、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら、刈草をハウジング25の下方にある草間に良好に埋没させられる作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0046】
〔別実施形態〕
以下に本発明の別実施形態を例示する。
【0047】
〔1〕ディスク形ブレード26を、サイドディスチャージ作業専用のハウジング25を備えるモーア4に採用してもよく、又、マルチング作業専用のハウジング25を備えるモーア4に採用してもよく、更に、ハウジング25の後端部に形成した排出口28から刈草を排出するリヤディスチャージ作業用のモーア4に採用してもよい。
【0048】
〔2〕ディスク31に形成する貫通孔34の数量や配置は種々の変更が可能であり、又、ディスク31に備える刈刃32及び起風翼33の数量や配置も種々の変更が可能である。
【0049】
〔3〕図10及び図11に示すように、各ディスク31に、ディスク31に対する駆動軸27の軸心周りでの回動操作で、各貫通孔34を開放する全開位置〔図11の(イ)参照〕と閉塞する全閉位置〔図11の(ロ)参照〕とにわたって位置調節可能な十字形状の閉塞体42を設けるとともに、駆動軸27の軸心を基点とする円弧状の長孔43を形成し、かつ、閉塞体42に、長孔43に挿通される螺軸44を立設し、この螺軸44に、閉塞体42をディスク31に対する所望の回動位置で固定するためのナット45を螺着装備してもよい。
【0050】
この構成によると、螺軸44に対するナット45の螺合操作と、ディスク31に対する単一の閉塞体42の回動操作とを行うだけで、各起風体35で生起された気流が通る各貫通孔34の大きさを一挙に調節できる。
【0051】
又、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、閉塞体42による各貫通孔34の閉塞量を小さくして各貫通孔34を通る気流量を多くすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、閉塞体42による各貫通孔34の閉塞量を大きくして各貫通孔34での風切り音の発生を抑制すれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら良好に行える。
【0052】
更に、作業時に作業能力を重視する場合には、閉塞体42による各貫通孔34の閉塞量を小さくして各貫通孔34を通る気流量を多くすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、より速やかに能率良く行える。逆に、作業時に騒音の低減を重視する場合には、閉塞体42による各貫通孔34の閉塞量を大きくして各貫通孔34での風切り音の発生を抑制すれば、作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図れる。
【0053】
つまり、各貫通孔34の開度調節を行う際の操作性の向上を図りながら、刈り取る草の状態に応じた好適な草刈り作業を行える上に、作業能力を重視する作業形態や騒音の低減を重視する作業形態の切り換えを容易に行えるより作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0054】
尚、閉塞体42の形状は、ディスク31に形成される貫通孔34の数量や配置に応じて種々の変更が可能である。又、長孔43、螺軸44、及びナット45のそれぞれを一対ずつ設け、それらを駆動軸27の軸心を中心とした点対称位置に配置するようにしてもよい。
【0055】
又、上記の長孔43、螺軸44、ナット45に代えて、図12に示すように、ディスク31及び閉塞体42における対向面側の中心部に、閉塞体42をディスク31に対する所望の回動位置で係合保持する菊座状の係合部46,47を設け、駆動軸27にディスク31及び閉塞体42を連結するボルト48の螺合操作で、ディスク31に対する閉塞体42の回動操作を可能にする状態と不能にする状態とに切り換えられるように構成してもよい。
【0056】
〔4〕図13に示すように、ディスク31における径方向での各貫通孔34の両脇にネジ孔49を形成し、各起風体35を、ネジ孔49に対応する挿通孔50が穿設されたフランジ51と、フランジ51から膨出する膨出部52とを備える形状に別形成して、各起風体35が、ディスク31における各貫通孔34に対する回転方向上手側の隣接箇所に対して着脱可能となるように構成してもよい。
【0057】
この構成によると、ディスク31に装着する各起風体35を、対応する貫通孔34の回転方向上手側を下方から覆って、ディスク31の下方から上方に向かう方向性を持ってディスク31の貫通孔34を通る気流を生起させる状態と、対応する貫通孔34の回転方向上手側を上方から覆って、ディスク31の上方から下方に向かう方向性を持ってディスク31の貫通孔34を通る気流を生起させる状態とに付け替える、並びに、ディスク31に装着する起風体35の数量を調節する、といったことが可能になる。
【0058】
その結果、ディスク31に対する各起風体35の付け替えを行うだけで、ディスク31を、ディスチャージ作業用のディスク31Aとマルチング作業用のディスク31Bとに容易に仕様変更できる。又、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、ディスク31に装着する起風体35の数量を多くして起風体35で生起される気流量を多くすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、ディスク31に装着する起風体35の数量を少なくして起風体35の装着による負荷の増大を軽減すれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、作業負荷の軽減を図りながら良好に行える。

【0062】
この構成によると、ディスク31に対する閉塞体53の着脱によって、起風体35で生起された気流が通る貫通孔34の数量を調節できる上に、不要な貫通孔34による風切り音の発生を防止できる。
【0063】
その結果、例えば、刈り取る草が濡れ気味で重く付着し易い場合には、起風体35と付け替える閉塞体53の数量を少なくして貫通孔34を通る気流量を多くすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、刈草の付着を招くことなく速やかに行える。逆に、刈り取る草が乾き気味で軽く付着し難い場合には、起風体35と付け替える閉塞体53の数量を多くして、起風体35の装着による負荷の増大を軽減し、風切り音を発生させる貫通孔34の数量を少なくすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、作業負荷の軽減及び作業時に発生する騒音の低減を図りながら良好に行える。
【0064】
又、作業時に作業能力を重視する場合には、起風体35と付け替える閉塞体53の数量を少なくして貫通孔34を通る気流量を多くすれば、ディスチャージ作業時には刈草の排出を、又、マルチング作業時には刈草の草間への埋没を、より速やかに行わせることができ、逆に、作業時に騒音の低減や負荷の軽減を重視する場合には、起風体35と付け替える閉塞体53の数量を多くして、起風体35の装着による負荷の増大を軽減し、風切り音を発生させる貫通孔34の数量を少なくすれば、作業時に発生する騒音の低減及び作業負荷の軽減を図れる。
【0065】
つまり、刈り取る草の状態に応じた好適な草刈り作業を行える上に、作業能力を重視する作業形態や騒音の低減や負荷の軽減を重視する作業形態の切り換えを容易に行えるより作業性に優れたものにできる。
【0066】
尚、各起風体35が一体形成されたディスク31を備えるブレード26に、ディスク31に対して着脱可能な閉塞体53を設けてもよい。
【0067】
〔6〕図15に示すように、ディスク31の各連結孔36,37を、各刈刃32及び起風翼33のディスク31からの延出長さの調節を可能にする長孔に形成してもよい。
【0068】
〔7〕ディスク31に、刈刃32と起風翼33とが一体形成されたものを装備するようにしてもよい。
【0069】
〔8〕図16に示すように、ディスク31の外周部に、各刈刃32を、駆動軸27に対して平行に配備される支軸57を介して、その支軸57の軸心周りでのディスク31に対する刈刃32の相対揺動を許容する状態に連結するとともに、ディスク31の回転に伴う遠心力で、ディスク31の中心と刈刃32の重心32Aと支軸57の軸心とが一直線上に並ぶ状態では、各刈刃32が、刈り取り対象の草をディスク31側に抱き込みながら刈り取る所定の刈取姿勢に維持されるようにブレード26を構成してもよい。
【0070】
この構成によると、作業時には、遠心力で各刈刃32が所定の刈取姿勢に維持されることで、刈り取り対象の草を各刈刃32の先端側外方に逃がすことなく確実に刈り取れる。
【0071】
しかも、各刈刃32は、石などに接触した場合には、その支軸57の軸心周りで遠心力に抗する方向に逃げるようになり、その結果、石などとの接触に起因した各刈刃32の損傷を効果的に抑制できる。又、仮に刈刃32が損傷しても、損傷した刈刃32の交換のみを行うだけで対処できる。
【0072】
つまり、刈り取り性能の向上を図れる上に耐久性やメンテナンス性に優れたものにできる。
【0073】
尚、図16の(イ)には、湾曲凹部に刃部38が形成された湾曲形状の刈刃32を採用したブレード26を例示し、又、図16の(ロ)には、一辺に一直線状の刃部38が形成された短冊状の刈刃32を採用したブレード26を例示している。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blade mounted on a mower, and more particularly, to a disk-type blade including a disk and a cutting blade that rotate integrally around an axis of a drive shaft.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional mowing machine, a bar-shaped blade having a cutting blade and a wind wing formed at both ends thereof is generally adopted as a blade rotating around the axis of a drive shaft.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2001-45826 (paragraph number 0031, FIG. 2, FIG. 4-6)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the bar-shaped blade is used, there is a problem that the noise at the time of work becomes intense due to the wind noise generated on the rotation center side of the blade with the rotation.
[0005]
Therefore, in order to reduce the wind noise generated on the rotation center side of the blade, it is conceivable to provide a disk that covers the rotation area on the rotation center side, but in this case, both ends of the blade are rotated with the rotation of the blade. In the mowing area on the side, only upward airflow is generated by the wind wings, so the mowing grass is guided to the discharge path of the housing that covers the blade from above, and is directed from the discharge port to the outside of the machine or the grass collection container. In the so-called discharge work for discharging, the so-called mulching work in which the cut grass can be relatively well discharged from the discharge port, but the cut grass is cut with a blade of a blade and buried in the grass below the housing. In, the disk is used to cover the rotation area on the rotation center side of the blade, which was the area where the cut grass was allowed to flow downward between the grasses, so that the cut grass was cut. With hardly done be buried in Kusama of Ujingu lower, it was so adversely affect the work mowed grass on the disk is deposited.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to improve workability while reducing noise generated during mowing work.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
〔Constitution〕
In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a disk having a drive shaft as a center and a cutting blade for cutting grass at a radially outer portion of the disk are provided on the drive shaft. In preparation for a state of being integrally rotated about the axis of the disk, a plurality of through holes are formed in the disk, and a plurality of wind generating bodies that generate an airflow passing through the through hole with the rotation of the disk are provided. is there.
[0008]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, at the time of work, the disc and the cutting blade rotate integrally around the axis of the drive shaft, and the cutting blade cuts grass at a radially outer portion of the disc. Generation of wind noise on the rotation center side is suppressed.
[0009]
If the mower equipped with the blades is to discharge the cut grass to the discharge path of the housing covering the blades from above and discharge the cut grass from the discharge port to the outside of the machine or the grass collection container, the mower is activated. If a wind generator is provided so that the air flow generated by the wind passes through the through hole of the disk with the direction going upward from the bottom of the disk, the grass allows the grass to flow more quickly along the discharge path of the housing. To the discharge direction.
[0010]
When the mower equipped with the blades performs mulching work in which cut grass is shredded with a cutting blade and buried in the grass below the housing, the airflow generated by the blasting body is directed downward from above the disk. If a wind generator is provided so as to pass through the through hole of the disc with the direction toward the, the airflow allows the sown grass to be well buried between the grass below the housing through the through hole without depositing on the disc. it can.
[0011]
〔effect〕
Therefore, in those performing discharge work, the disk provided with a breeze that generates an upward airflow provides excellent workability that allows more efficient discharge of cut grass while reducing noise generated during work. In addition, in the case of mulching work, the mowing grass is well buried in the grass below the housing while reducing the noise generated at the time of work by using a disk provided with a wind generator that generates a downward airflow. It is possible to obtain excellent workability.
[0012]
〔Constitution〕
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the wind generator is provided so as to be detachable from the disk.
[0013]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, the wind generator mounted on the disk has a direction or an upward direction from below the disk to generate an airflow passing through the through hole of the disk, and a direction from above the disk to the downward direction. It is possible to change to a state or a state that generates an airflow passing through the through hole of the disk, or to adjust the number of wind generators mounted on the disk.
[0014]
As a result, it is possible to easily cope with the one performing the discharge operation and the one performing the mulching operation only by changing the blasting body to the disk. Also, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and easily adheres heavily, the number of wind generators attached to the disc is increased to increase the air flow generated by the wind generator, thereby discharging the cut grass and cutting the grass. Can be quickly buried without causing the attachment of mowing grass. Conversely, when the grass to be cut is dry and difficult to adhere lightly, the number of wind generators attached to the disc is reduced to reduce the increase in the load due to the installation of the wind generator, thereby reducing the discharge of cut grass and cutting between grasses. Burying can be performed satisfactorily while reducing the work load.
[0015]
〔effect〕
Therefore, it is possible to improve the economical efficiency in which the discharge operation and the mulching operation can be performed by replacing the blasting body, and it is possible to improve the workability more than performing the suitable mowing operation according to the state of the grass to be cut.
[0016]
〔Constitution〕
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, a closing body for closing the through hole is provided detachably with respect to the disk.
[0017]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, the number of through holes through which the airflow generated by the wind generator passes can be adjusted by attaching / detaching the closing body to / from the disk, and the generation of wind noise due to unnecessary through holes can be prevented.
[0018]
As a result, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and tends to adhere, for example, by reducing the number of closing bodies that block the through-holes and increasing the air flow rate through the through-holes, it is possible to discharge the cut grass and cut grass. Can be quickly buried without causing the attachment of mowing grass. Conversely, if the grass to be cut is dry and difficult to adhere lightly, the number of through-holes that block the through-holes and the number of through-holes that generate wind noise can be reduced to reduce the amount of cut grass and cut grass. The burial can be satisfactorily performed while reducing noise generated during work.
[0019]
In addition, when working capacity is emphasized at the time of work, by reducing the number of blockers that close the through hole and increasing the air flow rate through the through hole, the discharge of cut grass and the burial between grasses can be performed more quickly. Conversely, if the emphasis is on noise reduction during work, the number of through-holes that generate wind noise can be reduced by increasing the number of blockers that close the through-holes. The noise generated at times can be reduced.
[0020]
〔effect〕
Therefore, it is possible to perform a suitable mowing operation in accordance with the state of the grass to be cut, and also to achieve a superior workability because it is possible to easily switch between a work mode that emphasizes workability and a work mode that emphasizes noise reduction.
[0021]
〔Constitution〕
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the position in which the through hole is opened by relative rotation of the drive shaft with respect to the disk around the axis of the drive shaft. And a closing body that can be adjusted in position between the closing position and the closing position.
[0022]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, by rotating the single closing body with respect to the disk, the size of each through hole through which the airflow generated by the wind generator passes can be adjusted at a stroke.
[0023]
As a result, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and easily adheres heavily, the amount of blockage of each through-hole by the blocking body is reduced to increase the air flow rate through each through-hole, thereby discharging the cut grass and cutting grass Can be quickly buried in the sewage without causing the attachment of the cut grass. Conversely, if the grass to be cut is dry and difficult to adhere lightly, the amount of blockage of each through-hole by the blocking body is increased to reduce the wind noise generated by each through-hole, so that the cut grass can be discharged or cut into the grass. Can be satisfactorily performed while reducing noise generated during work.
[0024]
In addition, when work capacity is emphasized during work, the amount of blockage of each through-hole by the blocking body is reduced to increase the air flow rate through each through-hole, so that the cut grass can be discharged and buried in the grass more quickly. Conversely, if emphasis is placed on noise reduction during work, the amount of blockage of each through-hole by the blocking body is increased to reduce wind noise generated by each through-hole, The noise generated at times can be reduced.
[0025]
〔effect〕
Therefore, while improving the operability when adjusting the opening degree of each through hole, it is possible to perform a suitable mowing operation according to the state of the grass to be mowed, and also emphasize a work form and a noise reduction in which a work ability is emphasized. The work mode can be easily changed, and the workability can be improved.
[0026]
〔Constitution〕
In the invention according to claim 5 of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the cutting blade is provided on an outer peripheral portion of the disk in parallel with the drive shaft. And the cutting blade is connected to a state allowing relative rotation of the cutting blade with respect to the disk around the axis of the supporting shaft, and the cutting is performed by centrifugal force accompanying rotation of the disk. The blade is configured to be maintained in a predetermined mowing posture for mowing while holding the grass to be mowinged on the disk side.
[0027]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, at the time of work, the cutting blade is maintained in the predetermined cutting posture, so that the grass to be cut can be reliably cut without escaping to the outside of the tip side of the cutting blade.
[0028]
Moreover, when the cutting blade comes into contact with a stone or the like, the cutting blade escapes around the axis of the support shaft in a direction against centrifugal force, and as a result, the cutting blade is damaged due to the contact with the stone or the like. Can be effectively suppressed. In most cases, even if the cutting blade is damaged, it can be dealt with only by replacing the damaged cutting blade.
[0029]
〔effect〕
Therefore, the mowing performance can be improved, and the durability and the maintainability can be improved.

[0037]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4 to 7, the mower 4 includes three blades 26 for mowing in a housing 25 supported by the main frame 7 so as to be vertically movable via a link mechanism 24. Is driven to rotate at a constant speed around the axis thereof by a corresponding driving power shaft 27 by the working power transmitted to the driving unit 18, and a part of the rotation trajectory is viewed in the front-rear direction. The rotation direction is set so that the left blade 26 moves rearward and the right blade 26 moves forward at each overlapping portion, and the right and left blades 26 are arranged side by side. It is constituted by.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 4 to 7, the housing 25 is opened at its lower part and formed with a discharge port 28 at the right end. A so-called side discharge operation is performed in which the cut grass is guided to a discharge path 30 provided on the front side of the housing 25 by an air current generated by the rotation of each blade 26 and discharged from the discharge port 28 to the outside of the machine. In the state (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 6), the grass mowed by each blade 26 is shredded by each blade 26 by an air current generated by the rotation of each blade 26, and buried in the grass below the housing 25. It is configured to be easily changed to a state in which a so-called mulching operation is performed (see FIGS. 5 and 7).
[0039]
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, each blade 26 has a disk 31 connected to a corresponding drive shaft 27 around its axis, and a certain distance in the circumferential direction at the outer peripheral portion of the disk 31. And four cutting blades 32 connected and mounted so as to extend outward from the outer periphery thereof, and at a position spaced apart from the respective cutting blades 32 of the disk 31 by a predetermined distance on the upper side in the rotation direction of the blade 26. A disk 31 having a disk 31 on its rotation center side is formed by four wind wings 33 and the like connected and extended from the outer periphery to the outside, and the corresponding drive shaft 27 and its corresponding It rotates integrally around the axis.
[0040]
Each disc 31 has four through-holes 34 spaced at a fixed interval in the circumferential direction, four blast bodies 35 bulging in the vertical direction at positions adjacent to the through-holes 34 on the upper side in the rotational direction, and each cutting blade 32. , And two connection holes 37 for each wind wing 33 are formed, and with the rotation, each wind generator 35 generates an airflow passing through the corresponding through hole 34. . The disc 31 includes a disc for discharge work and a disc for mulching work. The disc 31A for discharge work has an upward direction having a direction from the lower surface side to the upper surface side as the disk 31 rotates. Each blowing member 35 is formed to bulge downward so as to generate an air flow (see FIGS. 4, 6 and 8). On the contrary, the mulching work disk 31B is rotated from its upper surface to its lower surface. Each wind generator 35 is formed so as to bulge upward so as to generate a downward airflow having a direction toward the side (see FIGS. 5, 7 and 9).

From the above configuration, when performing the side discharge operation, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the housing 25 is changed to the side discharge operation, and each blade 26 is equipped with a disk 31A for the discharge operation. If used, at the time of operation, as each blade 26 rotates about the axis of the drive shaft 27, each cutting blade 32 moves the grass to be cut at a radially outer portion of the disk 31 in the housing 25. And the wind wings 33 generate an upward airflow so that the grass to be cut is erected in a state where it can be easily cut by the cutting blade 32, and the cut grass is guided to the discharge path 30 of the housing 25. Each of the disks 31A suppresses the generation of wind noise on the rotation center side of the blade 26, An upward air flow is caused by Futei 35, so to facilitate the discharge of the outside from the discharge port 28 of the cut grass.
[0044]
Further, when performing the mulching operation, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the housing 25 is changed to the mulching operation, and the blades 26 using the disks 31B for the mulching operation are used. Occasionally, as each blade 26 rotates about the axis of the drive shaft 27, each cutting blade 32 acts on the grass to be cut which is located radially outward of the disk 31 in the housing 25 and cuts. The respective wind wings 33 generate an upward airflow to raise the grass to be cut to a state where cutting can be easily performed by the cutting blade 32, and guide the cut grass to the upper side of the housing 25. The generation of wind noise on the rotation center side of the blade 26 is suppressed, and the grass in the housing 25 is penetrated by the downward airflow generated by each wind generator 35. So it is buried in Kusama at the bottom of the housing 25 through the holes 34.
[0045]
In other words, when the side discharge operation is performed, the mower 4 is provided with the disk 31A for the discharge operation, and the mower 4 is excellent in workability in which the grass can be discharged more efficiently while reducing noise generated during the operation. When performing mulching work, the mulching work is equipped with a disc 31B for mulching work, so that while reducing noise generated at the time of work, the mowing can be satisfactorily performed between grasses under the housing 25. The workability that can be buried is excellent.
[0046]
[Another embodiment]
Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be exemplified.
[0047]
[1] The disc-shaped blade 26 may be employed in the mower 4 including the housing 25 dedicated to the side discharge operation, or may be employed in the mower 4 including the housing 25 dedicated to the mulching operation. The mower 4 for discharging the grass through a discharge port 28 formed at the rear end of the rear mower 4 may be employed.
[0048]
[2] The number and arrangement of the through holes 34 formed in the disk 31 can be variously changed, and the numbers and arrangement of the cutting blades 32 and the wind wings 33 provided in the disk 31 can also be variously changed. .
[0049]
[3] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, each disk 31 is fully opened at a position where each through hole 34 is opened by a rotation operation of the drive shaft 27 with respect to the disk 31 around the axis. )] And a fully-closed position (see FIG. 11 (b)) for closing, a cross-shaped closing member 42 whose position can be adjusted, and an arc-shaped long hole 43 starting from the axis of the drive shaft 27. And a nut 44 for fixing the closing member 42 at a desired rotation position with respect to the disk 31 on the screw shaft 44 by erecting a screw shaft 44 inserted into the long hole 43 in the closing member 42. 45 may be screwed.
[0050]
According to this configuration, by simply performing the screwing operation of the nut 45 on the screw shaft 44 and the rotating operation of the single closing body 42 with respect to the disk 31, each through-hole through which the airflow generated by each wind generator 35 passes. 34 can be adjusted at once.
[0051]
Further, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and easily adheres heavily, if the amount of closing of each through-hole 34 by the closing body 42 is reduced to increase the air flow rate through each of the through-holes 34, it is possible to reduce And the burial of the cut grass during the mulching operation can be quickly performed without causing attachment of the cut grass. Conversely, in the case where the grass to be cut is dry and hard to adhere lightly, if the amount of closing of each through hole 34 by the closing body 42 is increased to suppress the generation of wind noise in each through hole 34, the discharge work may be performed. Discharge of cut grass and burial of cut grass during mulching work can be performed satisfactorily while reducing noise generated during work.
[0052]
Further, when the work capacity is emphasized during the work, if the amount of closing of each through-hole 34 by the closing body 42 is reduced to increase the air flow rate through each through-hole 34, the discharge of the cut grass during the discharge work, or In the mulching work, the cut grass can be buried between the grasses more quickly and efficiently. Conversely, in the case where noise reduction is emphasized during work, if the amount of closing of each through hole 34 by the closing body 42 is increased to suppress the generation of wind noise in each through hole 34, noise generated during work may be reduced. Can be reduced.
[0053]
In other words, while improving the operability when adjusting the opening degree of each through hole 34, it is possible to perform a suitable mowing operation according to the state of the grass to be mowed, and to reduce the work form and the noise in which the working ability is emphasized. The workability can be improved because the work mode to be emphasized can be easily switched.
[0054]
The shape of the closing member 42 can be variously changed according to the number and arrangement of the through holes 34 formed in the disk 31. Alternatively, a pair of the long hole 43, the screw shaft 44, and the nut 45 may be provided, and they may be arranged at point symmetrical positions around the axis of the drive shaft 27.
[0055]
As shown in FIG. 12, instead of the long hole 43, the screw shaft 44, and the nut 45, the closing body 42 is provided with a desired rotation with respect to the disk 31 at the center of the disk 31 and the closing body 42 on the facing surface side. The chrysanthemum seat-shaped engaging portions 46 and 47 for engaging and holding at the moving position are provided, and the closing member 42 is rotated with respect to the disk 31 by screwing a bolt 48 connecting the disc 31 and the closing member 42 to the drive shaft 27. The configuration may be such that the state can be switched between a state where operation is enabled and a state where operation is disabled.
[0056]
[4] As shown in FIG. 13, screw holes 49 are formed on both sides of each through hole 34 in the radial direction of the disk 31, and an insertion hole 50 corresponding to the screw hole 49 is formed in each wind generator 35. Separately formed into a shape having a flange 51 formed and a bulging portion 52 bulging out of the flange 51, and each wind generator 35 is disposed on the disk 31 with respect to an adjacent portion on the upstream side in the rotation direction with respect to each through hole 34. You may comprise so that attachment or detachment is possible.
[0057]
According to this configuration, each wind generator 35 mounted on the disk 31 covers the upper side in the rotational direction of the corresponding through hole 34 from below, and the through hole of the disk 31 has a directionality from below to above the disk 31. The airflow passing through the through hole 34 of the disk 31 is generated so as to cover the upper side in the rotational direction of the corresponding through hole 34 from above and generate the airflow passing through the through hole 34 of the disk 31 from above to below. It is possible to change the state to a state in which the disk 31 is changed, and to adjust the number of the wind generators 35 mounted on the disk 31.
[0058]
As a result, the specifications of the disc 31 can be easily changed to the disc 31A for the discharge work and the disc 31B for the mulching work only by changing the respective wind generators 35 to the disc 31. Further, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and easily adheres heavily, if the number of the wind generators 35 mounted on the disk 31 is increased to increase the air flow generated by the wind generator 35, the grass cut at the time of the discharge operation is cut. And the burial of the cut grass during the mulching operation can be quickly performed without causing attachment of the cut grass. Conversely, when the grass to be cut is dry and hard to adhere lightly, if the number of the wind-up bodies 35 mounted on the disc 31 is reduced to reduce the increase in the load due to the mounting of the wind-up bodies 35, the cut grass can be removed during the discharge operation. It is possible to satisfactorily discharge and bury the cut grass between the grasses during the mulching operation while reducing the work load.
[0059]
In other words, by replacing each blasting body 35, it is possible to provide an excellent economical work that can cope with the discharge work and the mulching work, and also to provide a more excellent workability that can perform a suitable mowing operation according to the state of the grass to be cut. it can.
[0060]
[5] As shown in FIG. 14, in the blade 26 illustrated in the above-mentioned another embodiment [4] in which each blowing member 35 is detachably provided to the disk 31, a closing member 53 that closes the through hole 34. May be provided detachably with respect to the disk 31.
[0061]
As shown in FIG. 14A, the closing body 53 has a circular shape that covers the through-hole 34 and has a pair of insertion holes 54 formed on the outer periphery thereof corresponding to the screw holes 49 of the disk 31. Alternatively, as shown in (b) of FIG. 14, a circular closing portion 55 that fits in the through hole 34 and a pair of connecting portions 56 in which the insertion holes 54 corresponding to the screw holes 49 of the disc 31 are formed. It may be provided.
[0062]
According to this configuration, by attaching and detaching the closing body 53 to and from the disk 31, the number of through holes 34 through which the airflow generated by the wind generator 35 passes can be adjusted, and the generation of unnecessary wind noise by the through holes 34 can be prevented.
[0063]
As a result, for example, when the grass to be cut is slightly wet and easily adheres to the grass, if the number of the closing bodies 53 to be replaced with the blasting body 35 is reduced to increase the air flow rate through the through-hole 34, the cut grass can be discharged during the discharge operation. Discharge and burial of the cut grass between the grasses during the mulching operation can be performed promptly without causing attachment of the cut grass. Conversely, when the grass to be cut is dry and hard to adhere lightly, the number of the closing bodies 53 to be replaced with the blasting body 35 is increased to reduce an increase in load due to the mounting of the blasting body 35 and generate wind noise. If the number of the through holes 34 is reduced, it is possible to discharge the cut grass during the discharging work, and to bury the cut grass between the grasses during the mulching work while reducing the work load and reducing the noise generated during the work.
[0064]
In addition, when the work capacity is emphasized at the time of work, if the number of the closing bodies 53 to be replaced with the blowing body 35 is reduced and the air flow rate through the through hole 34 is increased, the discharge of the cutting grass at the time of the discharge work and the mulching are performed. During work, the grass can be buried in the grass more quickly. Conversely, when emphasis is placed on noise reduction and load reduction during work, the number of closing bodies 53 to be replaced with the wind generator 35 is increased. If the increase in the load due to the mounting of the wind generator 35 is reduced and the number of the through holes 34 that generate the wind noise is reduced, the noise generated during the work and the work load can be reduced.
[0065]
In other words, in addition to being able to perform a suitable mowing operation according to the state of the grass to be mowed, the workability is more excellent than the work mode that emphasizes the work ability and the work mode that emphasizes the reduction of noise and the load can be easily switched. Can be something.
[0066]
In addition, a closing member 53 that can be attached to and detached from the disk 31 may be provided on the blade 26 including the disk 31 on which each of the wind generators 35 is integrally formed.
[0067]
[6] As shown in FIG. 15, the connection holes 36 and 37 of the disk 31 are formed as long holes that allow the lengths of the respective cutting blades 32 and the wind wings 33 to extend from the disk 31. You may.
[0068]
[7] The disk 31 may be equipped with a cutting blade 32 and a wind wing 33 integrally formed.
[0069]
[8] As shown in FIG. 16, each cutting blade 32 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the disk 31 via a support shaft 57 provided in parallel with the drive shaft 27, around the axis of the support shaft 57. And the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the disc 31, the center of the disc 31, the center of gravity 32A of the cutting blade 32, and the axis of the support shaft 57 are connected. The blade 26 may be configured such that in a state of being aligned on a straight line, the respective cutting blades 32 are maintained in a predetermined cutting posture in which the cutting target grass is cut while holding the grass to be cut on the disk 31 side.
[0070]
According to this configuration, at the time of work, the respective cutting blades 32 are maintained in a predetermined cutting posture by centrifugal force, so that the grass to be cut can be reliably cut without escaping to the outside of the tip side of each cutting blade 32.
[0071]
In addition, when each cutting blade 32 comes into contact with a stone or the like, the cutting blade 32 escapes around the axis of the support shaft 57 in a direction against centrifugal force, and as a result, each cutting blade 32 comes into contact with the stone or the like. Damage to the cutting blade 32 can be effectively suppressed. Even if the cutting blade 32 is damaged, it can be dealt with only by replacing the damaged cutting blade 32 only.
[0072]
That is, the mowing performance can be improved, and the durability and the maintainability can be improved.
[0073]
FIG. 16A illustrates the blade 26 adopting the curved cutting blade 32 in which the blade portion 38 is formed in the curved concave portion, and FIG. 16B illustrates a straight line on one side. The blade 26 adopting a strip-shaped cutting blade 32 having a blade-like blade 38 is illustrated.
[0074]
Also, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of protrusions 58 protruding upward are formed on the outer peripheral portion of the disk 31, and a pair of bulging portions bulging outward at the swing fulcrum of each cutting blade 32. When the corresponding projections 58 and the pair of bulging portions 59 are in contact with each other, the respective cutting blades 32 swing over a predetermined cutting posture and a storage posture in a region on the upper side in the rotation direction of the disk 31. Thus, the swinging area of each cutting blade 32 with respect to the disk 31 may be restricted.
