Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A bottom plate B is hinged to the front side of a storage tube A in which soil-grown seedlings of tobacco, vegetables, etc. to be supplied to the planter are housed one by one, and the bottom plate B is attached to a support rod. C is supported in a closed state while circulating in one direction along the support rod C, a part of the support rod C that extends to the drop opening is removed, and when the bottom plate B reaches the drop opening, the bottom plate B stops supporting the support rod. In conventionally known transplanters that open the container and feed the seedlings to the planter, the bottom plate B is supported by the hinge part E and is gradually opened vertically rather than diagonally, so that the seedlings with soil in the storage cylinder are It has the disadvantage that it can slide down along the diagonally opened bottom plate and be planted diagonally.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the method so that seedlings with soil can be reliably discharged vertically from the storage tube A.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an elastic plate such as a rubber plate attached to the lower periphery of the housing cylinder A, and cuts 2 are formed radially from the center toward the periphery to form several pieces of elastic pieces 3.

A bottom plate B is attached to the front side of the housing cylinder A in the traveling direction by a hinge part E, so that the bottom of the housing cylinder A can be opened and closed on the lower surface of the elastic plate 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a shaft cylinder to which a non-return gear 5 is fixed to the base, which is inserted into a fixed shaft 6 that stands upright on the machine frame, and a mounting cylinder 7 with a plurality of housing cylinders A attached around the periphery is connected to the upper end of the shaft cylinder 4. Then, the check gear 5 is rotated one piece at a time by the reciprocating sliding rod 8, and the bottom plate B is moved by the support rod C.
When it reaches the drop opening where support rod C is missing, bottom plate B is opened and the seedlings with soil inside are discharged, and when it comes into contact with support rod C again, bottom plate B automatically closes. Since it will be closed temporarily, new seedlings with soil will be replenished into the storage tube A.

Note that if the end C1 of the support rod C that should close the open bottom plate B is tilted slightly downward and the bottom plate B is gradually closed, the aircraft body will not receive a shock.

9 shows the machine frame to which support rod C is attached.

In the present invention, the lower part of the housing cylinder A is elastically closed by an elastic piece 3 made up of several pieces formed by punching radial cuts 2 in the elastic plate 1 attached to the lower peripheral edge of the housing cylinder A.
Even if the bottom plate B opens diagonally, the soiled seedlings stored inside will not fall suddenly, and will be supported for a while by several pieces of elastic pieces 3, and as soon as the bottom plate B hangs down, the free ends of the elastic pieces 3 will hold the soiled seedlings. Unable to bear the weight, the seedling opens downward and drops the seedling.

In this way, according to the present invention, the soiled seedlings in the storage tube A are supported on the several pieces of elastic pieces 3, so even if the bottom plate B is tilted and opened, they do not suddenly fall, but only when they are opened vertically. Since the elastic pieces 3 are pushed open and fall, the effect is that the seedlings with soil are discharged from the storage tube A while maintaining a vertical position without being tilted, and are supplied to the potters.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A bottom plate B is hinged to the front lower part of the storage cylinder A in the moving direction so that it can be opened and closed, and the bottom plate B is supported in a closed state by a support rod C.
The bottom plate B loses the support of the support rods when it reaches the drop opening, and the soiled seedlings stored inside are removed. In a transplanter that supplies planters, an elastic plate is attached to the lower periphery of a storage cylinder A that extends into the bottom plate B, and radial cuts are made in this from the center to form several pieces of elastic pieces 3.
