PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable proper setting of the arranging condition of agricultural products in a final container regardless of the setting distance of an agricultural product detection part when the container is lowered by a predetermined angle.SOLUTION: A container mount part 12, a lifting part 13 which moves up and down the container mount part 12, an outgoing conveyor 14 which feeds the agricultural product into a container 11 mounted on the container mount part 12, a slide mechanism part 15 which moves the outgoing end 14A of the outgoing conveyor 14 in an opening 11A of the container 11, and a detection part 16 provided at the outgoing end 14A of the outgoing conveyor 14 to detect the distance between the agricultural products accumulated in the container 11 are provided. The detection part 16 includes: a first detection part 16A which detects the distance between the detection part 16 and the agricultural products and compares the detected distance with a first set distance to operate the lifting part 13 and a second detection part 16B which detects the distance between the detection part 16 and the agricultural products and compares the detected distance with a second set distance to operate the slide mechanism part 15.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】コンテナを所定角度下降させる際の農作物検出部の設定間隔とは無関係に、最終的なコンテナ内での農作物の盛り付け状態を適宜に設定できる。【解決手段】コンテナ載置部12と、コンテナ載置部12を昇降させる昇降部13と、コンテナ載置部12に載置されたコンテナ11内に農作物を送り込む送出コンベヤ14と、送出コンベヤ14の送出端14Aをコンテナ11の開口11A内で移動させるスライド機構部15と、送出コンベヤ14の送出端14Aに設けられ、コンテナ11内に堆積した農作物との間隔を検出する検出部16とを備え、検出部16は、検出部16と農作物との間隔を検出し、この検出間隔を第1の設定間隔と比較して昇降部13を作動させる第1の検出部16Aと、検出部16と農作物との間隔を検出し、この検出間隔を第2の設定間隔と比較してスライド機構部15を作動させる第2の検出部16Bを備える。【選択図】図2
