Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transplanting tool for assisting agricultural work when planting pot seedlings in a field.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (e) are explanatory views (part 1) of a conventional planting operation of pot seedlings. In (a),
A soil 101 is put into a vinyl pot 100, fertilized, and seeds 102 are sowed.
In (b), it germinates and grows to become the seedling 103.

[0003] On the other hand, (c) shows a ridge 106 covered with a vinyl sheet 105. Cuts 107 are made in the vinyl sheet 105 in preparation for planting seedlings. In (d),
A conventional opening tool 108 is inserted into the ridge 106 as shown by the imaginary line. In (e), the hole opening tool 108 is closed, and the earth removal 109 is gripped and pulled up (arrow), and discharged to the box 111 (arrow). Thus, a hole 112 can be formed in the ridge 106.

FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) are explanatory views (part 2) of a conventional planting operation of pot seedlings. In (a), the plastic pot 10 is fully rehydrated half a day to one day before.
From 0, pick up the seedling 103 together with the soil 101. Soil 101
Hereinafter, the seedling 103 with the mark is referred to as a soiled seedling 113. In addition, the said water replenishment is performed in order to improve a rooting (it is called survival). In (b), the seedlings 113 with soil are planted in the holes 112 while pushing the cuts 107 apart. Replanting the seedlings 113 with soil in the ridges 106, that is, in the fields, is referred to as fixed planting.

After the fixed value, the seedling 103 grows upward from the cut 107. Most of the ridges 106 are vinyl sheets 1
05. This is called mulch cultivation in order to maintain the heat of the cultivated land and keep the moisture of the soil. At this time, by making the cut 107, only the seedling 103 can be grown while suppressing the propagation of weeds.

[0006]

The planting method described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 is widely used. To improve the rooting, a large amount of water was added. In FIG. Therefore, the work must be performed carefully, so that the efficiency of the planting work is deteriorated and the fatigue of the worker is deepened.

Further, as shown in FIG.
Since the discharged soil 109 accumulates, an operation for processing the discharged soil 109 is added. Since the place where the soil is treated is generally far from the work place, this earth removal work causes a reduction in the efficiency of the planting work. In addition, it is easier to work by collectively opening a plurality of holes 112 and then planting them collectively.
However, in the hole 112 opened in FIG. 4E, if a certain time is left before planting, the inner surface of the hole 112 is dried, and rooting is deteriorated. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a transplanting tool which can prevent the soil supporting the seedling from being collapsed when transferring from a pot to a ridge, eliminate the need for soil removal work, and allow continuous drilling and planting.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pot seedling transplanter comprising: a first and second tongue pieces having a pair of shovels facing each other; A handle for supporting the first tongue, a lever for supporting the second tongue, and a hinge for swingably connecting the lever to the handle. (2) It is characterized in that the tongue piece can be opened.

[0009] The second tongue is closed and the seedling with soil is placed where the first and second tongues form a V-shape. The soild seedlings can be transported while being placed on the transplant tool. The V-shaped first and second tongue pieces with the soild seedlings thereon are inserted into the ridges. Once fully inserted, grasp the lever and swing the second tongue away from the first tongue. By this swing, a hole having a flat bottom and a sufficient size can be formed. When the second tongue piece is separated from the first tongue piece, the soiled seedling that has been placed falls. Pull out the implant from the ridge. This completes the planting operation. When the transplanting device is pulled out, the soil of the ridge returns toward the center of the hole, and as a result, the surrounding soil wraps the seedling with soil, which is preferable.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings should be viewed in the direction of reference numerals. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pot seedling transplanting tool according to the present invention.
