A beach cleaner for recovering relatively heavy garbage or stones while minimizing the amount of sand entering a garbage recovery unit. The beach cleaner includes a frame formed by a longitudinal member and a lateral member. A towed portion is provided at the front portion of the frame for towing by a tow vehicle. A separator is provided at the lower front portion of the frame to separate and scrape garbage from sandy ground. A recovery unit is provided behind the separator to collect garbage scraped onto the mesh member. At least one separation rod unit is provided having a plurality of longitudinal members and a lateral member for joining the rear ends of the respective longitudinal members. The front end of at least one separation rod unit is secured to the separator so as to be turnable in the up-and-down direction.

Beach cleaner

There is provided a work vehicle having a wheel lock mechanism that is compactly disposed while avoiding an effect of surrounding sand. A wheel lock mechanismhas a disc portionrotating integrally with a wheelinside a rim portionA of the wheel, and a slide memberX that is movable in the axial direction of the wheelso as to be freely engageable with the disc portioninside the rim portionA and rotates integrally with the axle

Work vehicle

A garbage separation and recovery machine for beach cleaning that has mobility and can perform a garbage separation and recovery work according to the situation is provided. The garbage separation and recovery machine has a drum type sieve body () that is freely rotatably secured to a vehicle body frame () towed by a vehicle, a driving gear () that is freely rotatably supported by the vehicle body frame () and secured to an axle () to which right and left wheels are secured, and a mechanism portion () for transmitting the driving force of the driving gear () to the drum type sieve body (). The mechanism portion () has a gear switching mechanism () for performing a switching operation between an automatic rotation mode in which the drum type sieve body () is rotated by the rotational force of the wheels () and a manual rotation mode in which the drum type sieve body () is released from the rotational force of the wheel () and allowed to be manually freely rotatable.

Garbage separation and recovery machine for beach cleaning

A beach cleaner has a frame formed by a longitudinal member and a lateral member, a ski member that is secured to a front portion of the frame and grounded to a sand surface GL, a trailing target portion that is trailed by a trailing vehicle, a separator that is provided at a front lower portion of the frame and scrapes up trash from a sand area while separating the trash from sand, a trash withdrawing member that is provided to the frame at a rear side of the separator to collect the trash scraped up by the separator onto a mesh member, and a wheel at a rear side of the frame. The trash withdrawing member has a fixed withdrawing body that is located at a front end portion and fixed to the frame, and a swing withdrawing body.

A beach cleaner having a frame constructed by longitudinal members and lateral members, a ski member that is attached to the front portion of the frame and comes into contact with the sand surface, a towed portion to be towed by a towing vehicle, a separating machine that is provided on a lower front portion of the frame to separate and scrape up trash from the sand, a trash withdrawing member for capturing on a mesh member trash which was scraped up upon the frame at the rear side of the separating machine and a wheel on the rear portion of the frame. Further, a driving force conversion/transmission mechanism is provide for supporting the trash withdrawing member so that he trash withdrawing member is swingable and converting rotational driving force of the wheel to vibrating force to vibrate the trash withdrawing member.

A box-shaped beach-cleaning trailer is configured to be loaded with, and collectively carry beach-cleaning equipment and a litter collection station. The beach-cleaning equipment are towed by a vehicle to collect litter on the sands. The litter collected by the beach-cleaning equipment is collected in the litter collection station. The trailer includes a pair of rail members disposed on upper edges of the respective opposite side wall portions such that the rail members face each other with an opening therebetween. A sieve unit is detachably mounted on the rail members, and is configured to move a back-and-forth direction along the rail members. The sieve unit is moved in a back-and-forth direction manually; or by using a driving mechanism including a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a connecting rod arranged between the sieve unit and the driven wheel, for separating colleted litter of various sizes from sand.
