PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable expanding and contracting action of a nipping rail of a waste straw-conveying apparatus and the opening or closing operation of a waste straw-inserting opening of a waste straw-shredding apparatus to be carried out lightly by utilizing a driving force of an electrically driven motor, to simplify the structure and to reduce the cost.SOLUTION: The waste straw-treating apparatus is equipped with the electrically driven motor 20 for operating the rail, for changing the length of the nipping rail 31 by the expanding or contracting operation of an expanding and contracting rail part 35 so that the waste straw-discharging position by the waste straw-conveying apparatus may be changed, a manual operation tool for the rail, for outputting driving and stopping commands to the electrically driven motor 20 for operating the rail, a limit switch 8 for detecting the releasing end position of the expanding and contracting rail part 35, and a display means for displaying the waste straw-discharging position detected by the limit switch 8 in a visually observable state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】排ワラ搬送装置の挟持レールの伸縮作動と排ワラ細断装置の排ワラ投入口の開閉操作とを、電動モータの駆動力を利用して軽快に行え、かつ、構造の簡素化及び低コスト化を図る。【解決手段】排ワラ搬送装置による排ワラ放出位置を変更するように、伸縮レール部35を伸縮作動させて挟持レール31の長さを変更するレール操作用電動モータ20と、そのレール操作用電動モータ20に駆動及び停止指令を出力するレール用人為操作具と、伸縮レール部35の放出端位置を検出するリミットスイッチ8と、そのリミットスイッチ8で検出された排ワラ放出位置を目視可能な状態に表示する表示手段とを備えた。【選択図】図4
