As illustrated in FIG. 7, it can be seen that the scattering unit 20 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a scattering blade 21 which scatters soil, a gearbox 23 having a first driving part 22, and a first power transmission member 24 which transmits the driving force of the first driving part 22 to the scattering blade 21.

[0039] That is, the soil scattering part 10 is configured to include a three-point link and the scattering part frame 11 connected to the rear end of the agricultural machine 1, the gearbox 23 receiving PTO power, the scattering blade 21, and the first power transmission member 24 which connects the gearbox 23 and the scattering blade 21.

[0040] The first power transmission member 24 connecting the gearbox 23 and the scattering blade 21 is installed inclined rather than vertical, and the inclination angle is preferably about 20 to 60 degrees.

[0041] The mulching film laying part 30 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to include a laying part frame 31 connected to the rear end side of the soil scattering part 10, and a mulching film holding part 32 which has a mulching film 2 wound therearound and spreads the mulching film 2 on the paddy field.

[0042] FIG. 8 illustrates a side configuration view of a rear protective cover of the mulching film laying part and the mulching film holding part according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] As illustrated in FIG. 8, the mulching film 2 is wound around the mulching film holding part 32, the wound mulching film 2 is spread on the paddy field as the mulching film holding part 32 is rotated, and soil scattered by the soil scattering part 10 is applied. In addition, a film protective rear cover 33 may be installed in front of the mulching film holding part 32.

[0044] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, it can be seen that at least one supply pipe 40 is installed in the covering soil mulching apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0045] Through the supply pipe 40, at least one of water, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and drop hoses can be supplied to the lower portion of the mulching film 2.

[0046] The soil oscillating part 50 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to include an oscillating plate 60 which is located above the mulching film holding part 32 and guides the soil scattered by the soil scattering part 10 to be transported to the rear side and laid on the upper surface of the mulching film 2, an oscillator for oscillating the oscillating plate 60 to prevent the formation of a soil wall on the oscillating plate 60, and an oscillating power transmission part 80 for transmitting power to the oscillator 70.

[0048] As illustrated in FIG. 9, it can be seen that the oscillating plate 60 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a shape pointed upward with respect to the side, and is configured to include a rearward inclined plate 61 inclined toward the rear side with respect to the pointed portion, and a forward inclined plate 62 inclined toward the front side. Therefore, the scattered soil flows from the rearward inclined plate 61 and covers the spread mulching film 2.

[0049] In addition, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by vibrating, shaking, and oscillating the oscillating plate 60 by the soil oscillating part 50, the problem in the related art that a soil wall is formed and soil covering is stopped can be solved.

[0050] As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 10, it can be seen that the oscillator 70 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes an oscillating shaft 71 rotated by the oscillating power transmission part 80, and a cam member 72 installed on the oscillating shaft 71. The shape of the cam member 72 can be in various forms such as a positive motion cam, a spherical cam, and a conical cam, and the specific shape is not limited as long as the diameter is changed with respect to the rotation center axis.

[0051] In addition, a roller 73 hinged to a bracket 74 joined to the lower end surface of the oscillating plate 60 is included, and the outer surface of the cam member 72 is rotated in contact with the outer surface of the roller 73.

[0052] Therefore, the outer surface of the roller 73 comes in contact with the outer surface of the cam member 72, and the oscillating plate 60 is oscillated according to the shape of the outer surface of the cam member 72 by the rotation of the cam member 72, thereby preventing a soil clogging phenomenon.

[0055] Therefore, in the reciprocating motion guide 34 joined to the laying part frame 31, the reciprocating motion shaft 63 joined to the oscillating plate 60 is moved, so that the oscillating plate 60 does not deviate from a set reciprocating path and can oscillate.

[0056] FIGS. 12 to 15 schematically illustrate an operation method of preventing clogging of soil by the covering soil mulching apparatus having a function of preventing clogging of soil according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0057] As illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 15, it can be seen that according to the operation of the covering soil mulching apparatus 100 having a function of preventing clogging of soil according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the oscillating plate 60 is driven to continuously oscillate vertically as the cam member 72 of the oscillator 70 rotates, whereby a soil clogging phenomenon on the oscillating plate 60 can be prevented.
