Seed transfer bed 1, floor soil supply device 3, floor soil leveling device 37, cornering leveling device 46, laying roller 47, seed supply device 50, irrigation device 80 and cover soil supply device 92 are shared. Device H can be used.

(Operation of Example)
First, the sowing method of the streak sowing apparatus H will be described below.
When the seedling raising container A is supplied to the starting end portion of the auxiliary rail 95 of the transfer stand 1, the seedling raising container A reaches the lower part of the floor soil supply device 3 by the transfer roll 2.
Since the floor soil supply belt 5 rotates in the floor soil supply device 3, the floor soil in the floor soil supply hopper 4 passes between the floor soil supply hopper 4 and the supply belt 5 from the supply port 6 to the floor soil supply belt. The floor soil fed by 5 and fed from the supply port 6 is supplied to the seedling raising container A passing below.

  The feeding belt 5 of the floor soil supply device 3 is wound around the drive roller 15 and the driven roller 16, and the driven shaft 18 of the driven roller 16 of the floor soil supply device 3 is mounted on the moving member 20, and each movement The member 20 is provided with a mounting plate portion 21, and the base portion of the screw shaft 22 is fixed to the mounting plate portion 21, and the screw shaft 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 24 of the support plate portion 23 of the frame side plate 10 to support the support plate. Since the lock nut 25 is screwed onto the screw shaft 22 protruding from the portion 23, the moving member 20 is always urged to move forward by the elasticity of the feeding belt 5 and the lock nut 25 is rotated. The screw shaft 22 moves back and forth with respect to the support plate portion 23 to adjust the tension of the feeding belt 5.

Since the screw shaft 22 is provided with a tension releasing member 26 that loosens the tension of the feeding belt 5, when the tension release member 26 releases the tension of the feeding belt 5 when the seeding device H is not used, the feeding belt 5. Sag and improve durability.
Since the tension release member 26 includes an engagement plate portion engagement plate portion 27 having a predetermined thickness that enters and exits between the lock nut 25 and the support plate portion 23, the tension release member 26 includes the lock nut 25 and the support plate portion 23. The engaging plate portion 27 is positioned between the working positions, and the tension belt T is tensioned by the tension mechanism T to perform the soil supply work.

When the work is completed and the engagement plate 27 is removed from between the lock nut 25 and the support plate 23, the lock nut 25 is moved toward the support plate 23 by the tension of the feeding belt 5 by the thickness of the engagement plate 27. By the movement of the lock nut 25 and the screw shaft 22, the feeding belt 5 is loosened and released from the tensioned state by the tension mechanism T, and the durability is improved.
The tension release member 26 includes an engagement plate portion 27 and an operation plate portion 28 provided in parallel with the engagement plate portion 27, and an engagement groove 29 is formed in the engagement plate portion 27. Since the long hole 30 is provided in the portion 28, the long hole 30 of the operation plate portion 28 is inserted into the screw shaft 22 and attached to the screw shaft 22.

Then, when the engagement groove 32 between the engagement plate portion 27 and the operation plate portion 28 is fitted to the support plate portion 23 from above, the working position is set, the tension belt T is tensioned by the tension mechanism T, and the workable state is established. Become.
Next, when the operation plate portion 28 is pulled upward by the operation knob 31, the engagement plate portion 27 can be removed from between the lock nut 25 and the support plate portion 23, so that the feeding belt 5 is loosened and tensioned by the tension mechanism T. Release from state.

Therefore, it is possible to release the tension state by the tension mechanism T by one operation of pulling the operation plate portion 28 upward by the operation knob 31, thereby facilitating the operability.
Moreover, since the tension mechanism T can be operated by simply inserting the engagement plate portion 27 between the lock nut 25 and the support plate portion 23 without rotating the lock nut 25, it is not necessary to readjust the initial setting when the operation is resumed. Can be easy to beat.

Further, the tension release member 26 is constituted by an engagement plate portion 27 and an operation plate portion 28. The engagement plate portion 27 may be provided with an engagement groove 29, and the operation plate portion 28 may be provided with a long hole 30. The assembly of the tension release member 26 is simple and it is only necessary to insert the long hole 30 of the operation plate portion 28 into the screw shaft 22 and the assembly is facilitated.
Since the lock nut 25 is configured by providing the resin portion 34 in the screw hole 33, when the lock nut 25 is rotated, the lock nut 25 is screwed to the screw shaft 22 and moves in the front-rear direction. After adjusting the tension of 5, loosening of the lock nut 25 due to vibration or the like is prevented by contact between the resin portion 34 and the screw shaft 22.

Next, the seedling container A that has been supplied with the floor soil by the floor soil supply device 3 scrapes a predetermined amount of the floor soil supplied to the seedling container A by the rotating brush 38 of the floor soil leveling device 37. While being leveled.
Next, the seedling container A whose floor soil upper surface has been leveled by the floor soil leveling device 37 reaches the lower side of the corner leveling device 46, and the corner leveling device 46 sets the corner of the rear wall of the seedling container A. The floor soil is leveled.

  Next, when the seedling raising container A reaches below the laying roller 47, a grooving groove is formed on the upper surface of the floor soil by the laying roller 47. The seedling raising container A in which the groove is formed is under the seed supply device 50 or supplied with seeds fitted in the feeding recess 70 of the rotating horizontal shaft feeding roll 69 and guided by a guide body (not shown). Then, seeds fall into the groove.

  The seed supply hopper 53 of the seed supply device 50 is detachably attached to the side plate 52 of the frame 51, the left and right side plates 60 of the seed supply hopper 53 are provided with engaging pins 61 projecting sideways, and the front guide plate 55 has a lower side. And the fixed dial 66 is provided in the insertion hole 65 of the front inclined plate 64 provided in the side plate 52. When the fixed dial 66 is removed and the seed supply hopper 53 is lifted, the insertion hole 65, the mounting shaft 63 comes out, the engaging pin 61 is removed from the engaging groove 62, and the seed supply hopper 53 can be removed from the side plate 52. The seed supply hopper 53 and the feeding recess 70 of the horizontal shaft feeding roll 69 are inserted into the feeding recess 70. Remove the mating residual seeds.

  Then, the engagement pin 61 of the side plate 60 is engaged with the engagement groove 62 of the side plate 52 from above, and the insertion shaft 63 of the front guide plate 55 of the seed supply hopper 53 is fixed to the side plate 52. When the fixed dial 66 of the front inclined plate 64 is screwed into the threaded portion 65, it can be mounted, so that another seed can be supplied to the seed supply hopper 53, the varieties can be changed, and the sowing operation can be performed.

Therefore, since the single mounting shaft 63 and the fixed dial 66 are screwed together, the attaching / detaching operation can be easily performed, sowing and maintenance operations can be easily performed after changing the varieties, and workability can be improved.
Since the transfer stand 1 on the lower side of the transfer direction of the seed supply device 50 is provided with a pressure reducing roller 78, the seedling container A that has received the seeds has its upper surface pressed down by the pressure reducing roller 78, The mountain that formed the groove is destroyed, and seeds are buried in the floor soil.
The seedling raising container A that has received the seed supply of seeds irrigates the floor soil and seeds by the irrigation device 80.

The seedling container A that has received irrigation reaches the lower side of the soil covering supply device 92 and receives the supply of soil covering.
Since the feeding belt 5 of the soil covering supply device 92 is also tensioned by the tension mechanism T, after the operation is completed, the feeding belt 5 is loosened by the tension releasing member 26 and the durability of the feeding belt 5 can be improved.

  The transfer stand 1 for transferring the seedling raising container A is formed so as to be placed on the floor by a plurality of support legs 93 provided at predetermined intervals, and the transfer stand 1 is in the transfer direction of the main frame 94 and the main frame 94. The auxiliary rail 95 is configured to be detachable from the main frame 94, and the auxiliary rail 95 is arranged in front of and behind the mounting member 102 of the main frame 94 of the transfer table 1. In the normal use state in which the engagement pin 105 is inserted into the long hole 104 in the direction and the auxiliary rail 95 is fixed to the upper mounting member 107 of the transfer table 1 by the fixture 110, the engagement pin 105 is positioned on the rear side of the long hole 104. Therefore, when the fixture 110 is removed and the auxiliary rail 95 is rotated downward about the engagement pin 105, the engagement pin 105 moves forward in the elongated hole 104.

Therefore, the transfer belt 99 is loosened and the auxiliary rail 95 can be easily removed.
Next, since the engaging pin 105 of the auxiliary rail 95 is provided so as to protrude in the same direction on either the left or right side, if the auxiliary rail 95 is moved laterally with respect to the main frame 94, The mating pins 105 are simultaneously removed from the long holes 104, and the transfer belt 99 is further loosened. Therefore, the auxiliary rail 95 can be pulled out from the annular transfer belt 99, and the auxiliary rail 95 can be easily removed.

Therefore, the auxiliary rail 95 on the start end side of the main frame 94 can be removed, so that the storage space of the transfer table 1 is reduced.
On the other hand, when the auxiliary rail 95 is mounted, the auxiliary rail 95 is inserted into the slack of the transfer belt 99 from the lateral direction, and then the engaging pin 105 is inserted and engaged with the elongated hole 104. The auxiliary rail 95 is turned upward about 105.
When the auxiliary rail 95 is rotated upward, the engaging pin 105 moves rearward in the elongated hole 104, the front end of the auxiliary rail 95 hits the rear end of the main frame 94, and the mounting hole 109 of the auxiliary rail 95 and the main frame The mounting holes 108 of the 94 upper mounting members 107 are made to coincide with each other and fixed by the fixture 110.

Therefore, the auxiliary rail 95 can be easily attached / detached while being supported by the upper mounting member 107 and the engaging pin 105 at two upper and lower positions.
Note that the terminal-side auxiliary rail 95 may also be attached by the attachment member 102 having the long hole 104 and the engagement pin 105.
