Description

  The present invention relates to a device for planting tea seedlings (hereinafter referred to as tea seedlings) in a tea garden, a method for planting tea seedlings using the device, and tea seedlings.

  When planting tea seedlings in a tea garden, as a preparation, plow the soil and make straw. Then, make a mark for planting the tea seedlings in a straight line, plan an interval for planting along the mark, and dig a hole deep enough to contain the roots of the tea seedling. Put the tea seedling vertically into it, cover the hole with soil, lightly press from above, and pour water. Repeat this process. A typical tea garden has two rows of tea seedlings planted in a staggered area. We are trying to improve efficiency by devising tools such as sticks for measuring planting intervals and tools for digging holes deep enough to contain the roots of tea seedlings. It takes about 1 day for 6 workers to plant 7-7 rows. This is to plant 100 tea seedlings in a day, with a total of 700 to 800 tea seedlings per day, planted at intervals of about 60 centimeters.

  Once planted, the tea tree is cultivated for 30 to 40 years. Previously, workers walked into the tea plantation to manage plucking, fertilization, and pest control, but in recent years, workers have been on board to manage plucking, fertilization, and pest control. Passenger-type tea leaf picking machines and riding-type tea garden management machines have become widespread, and the tea garden itself is often remodeled according to the riding-type tea leaf picking machine and the riding-type tea garden management machine.

  In the case of vegetables that are planted many times a year, a dedicated seedling planting machine is manufactured, sold, and generally used. However, as described above, a tea seedling planting device dedicated to tea seedlings that does not undergo much planting has not been manufactured and sold in the past. The fields of vegetables are relatively flat, neatly cultivated, and neatly made high ridges, but tea gardens have many slopes, the ground is almost flat, and they do not make very high ridges. Therefore, in the seedling planting machine for vegetables and the like, the traveling body is not particularly suitable, and cannot be introduced on an inclined land.

  In the tea garden, a general-purpose riding-type tea garden management machine as in Patent Document 1 has been developed, and work can be performed by attaching devices such as pest control, fertilization, pruning, and deep plowing as attachments.

  An attachment mounting portion 7 is provided at the rear portion of the machine body 1, and is provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the machine body 1 by an attachment mounting portion vertical cylinder 8 and an attachment mounting portion arm 9. The mechanism for moving up and down may be another mechanism or a motor. The attachment attachment portion 7 may be a work bed depending on the type of attachment to be attached.

  Next, the tea seedling planting apparatus B will be described. Tea seedlings are planted in the tea garden by the tea seedling planting means 21, and the tea seedling planting means 21 moves up and down to plant the tea seedlings (see FIG. 7). The tip of the tea seedling planting means 21 has a beak shape (hereinafter, the tip of the tea seedling planting means 21 is referred to as a beak 31). Supply into the seedling planting means 21 (see FIG. 7A), with the beak 31 closed, the beak 31 is pierced into the ground 18 to make a hole (see FIG. 7B), and the beak 31 is opened. The hole of the ground 18 is widened (see FIG. 7C), and the tea seedling 14 in the tea seedling planting means 21 is placed on the ground 18 while removing the beak 31 from the ground 18 (see FIG. 7D). . The tea seedling planting means 21 closes the beak 31 while moving upward and forward, and the next tea seedling 14 is supplied. By repeating this, the tea seedling 14 is planted.

  It is the tea seedling supply means 22 that supplies the tea seedling to the tea seedling planting means 21, which includes a plurality of pots 32 for supplying tea seedlings, the pot 32 rotates, and the pot 32 is the tea seedling planting means. The bottom surface of the pot 32 opens when it comes to the top 21, and the tea seedling in the pot 32 is dropped.

  These tea seedling planting means 21 and tea seedling supply means 22 are supported from the ground 18 by a driven wheel 23, and the heights of the tea seedling planting means 21 and the tea seedling supply means 22 from the ground 18 are constant. .

  The soil covering means 24 is located behind the tea seedling planting means 21 and has a structure in which the soil is covered from the left and right sides.

  Since there are only about 40 pots 32 of the tea seedling supply means 22, and planting of the tea seedlings is completed in an instant, the worker 16 gets on the worktable 25 and the sheet 33 provided on the worktable 25 is provided. The tea seedling on the tea seedling mounting table 26 is supplemented in the pot 32 of the tea seedling supply means 22. The tea seedling mounting table 26 has three stages in the drawing, and about 80 tea seedlings are placed on the first stage. Although it is about this size in the drawing, it is possible to enlarge the tea seedling mounting table 26 as needed. A drive switch 27 is provided in the vicinity of the work table 25 to operate the driving of the tea seedling planting apparatus B.

  The tea seedling planting part D that comes into contact with the ground such as the tea seedling planting means 21, the tea seedling supply means 22, the driven wheel 23, the soil covering means 24, etc. Are connected by a parallel link, and are connected by an arm 35 having a rotatable rotation shaft 34 and follow the ground. Thereby, the height of the ground on which the traveling device 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A to which the work table 25 which is the fixed portion C is fixed and the height of the ground on which the tea seedling planting part D is in contact are provided. Even if they differ, the tea seedling planting part D can follow the ground, keep the height constant, and can travel well along the ground. (It is possible to plant tea seedlings well even on sloping land or on a slightly rattling road.)

  As a watering means, a tank 36 for containing water, a pump, and a hose 37 for watering the tank are provided. A nozzle may be provided at the tip of the hose 37, which is installed behind the tea seedling planting means 21 and sprinkles water on the planted tea seedling. Water may be sprinkled all the time, but there is no waste if a solenoid valve or the like is provided to measure the timing with the tea seedling planting part D and spray water only toward the planted tea seedling. Immediately after planting, a small amount of water is sprinkled on the roots of the tea seedlings to improve the indigenousness.

  Since the tea plantations are two-row planted, the tea seedling planting device B has two sets of these tea seedling planting means 21, soil covering means 24, and watering means. It moves alternately.

  The attachment of the tea seedling planting apparatus B to the riding type tea garden management machine A will be described. The attachment mounting portion 7 of the riding type tea garden management machine is lowered to the minimum height, and the tea seedling planting device B is moved to the attachment mounting portion 7. The work table 25 of the tea seedling planting device B goes to the attachment mounting portion 7 and the portion is fixed by the fixture 40. The fixture 40 does not require a tool, and may be a clamp or a hinge. In this embodiment, the left and right two places are fixed at a total of four places. And in order to obtain the motive power of riding type tea garden management machine A, a drive source is connected. In this embodiment, since the tea seedling planting means 21 and the tea seedling supply means 22 of the tea seedling planting device B are hydraulically driven, the hydraulic pump 4 of the traveling device 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A is operated by the one-touch coupler 29. The electricity for driving the pump of the watering means is connected from the battery 5 by a coupler (not shown).

  Next, the movement when planting tea seedlings in a tea garden will be described. It moves to the place where a tea seedling is planted by the traveling device 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A. At this time, the attachment mounting portion 7 of the riding type tea garden management machine A is moved upward by the attachment mounting portion upper and lower cylinders 8 and the tea seedling planting device B is moved away from the ground. If it moves to the place which plantes a tea seedling, the attachment mounting part 7 of the riding type tea garden management machine A is moved downward by the attachment mounting part upper and lower cylinders 8 and the tea seedling planting device B is landed. At this time, after the tea seedling planting apparatus B has landed, the attachment mounting portion 7 is lowered a little more. Thereby, a margin can be given to the vertical movement of the tea seedling planting part D.

  The riding type tea garden management machine A is provided with a sensor for detecting the speed and a speed meter for displaying the speed, and the driver 15 controls the speed while watching the speed in order to plant a tea seedling. When the tea plant is tilted low in the direction of travel, the speed increases from when it is flat, and when it is tilted high toward the direction of travel, it slows down from when it is flat. Control is performed at 13. The operator 16 of the tea seedling planting device B is started from the target position (one end of the cocoon) by the drive switch 27 of the tea seedling planting device B in cooperation with the driver 15, and then the tea seedling is supplied to the tea seedling. Fill in the pot 32 of the means 22. When reaching the other end of the pot, the worker 16 of the tea seedling planting device B is stopped by the drive switch 27 of the tea seedling planting device B. Thereafter, the riding type tea garden management machine A is moved to the next basket, and tea seedlings are planted again by the tea seedling planting device B. When moving to the next basket, it is better to raise the attachment mounting part 7 and to separate the tea seedling device B from the ground so as not to disturb the turning. The driver 15 of the riding-type tea plantation management machine A starts from the second vehicle and travels on the trajectory of one traveling device 2 when traveling on the previous kite with the traveling device 2 at equal intervals. You can plant tea seedlings in parallel. When the work is finished, the attachment mounting part 7 is raised, the tea seedling planting device B is raised, and moved away from the ground.

  When planted in this way, the tea garden becomes as shown in FIG. 6, and the interval x (about 50 centimeters in this embodiment) between the two tea seedlings can be adjusted by the spacing between the left and right tea seedling planting means 21. The interval y (about 60 centimeters in this embodiment) of the tea seedlings 14 in the direction can be adjusted by the traveling speed of the traveling device 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A. The width of the basket is constant at the width z (about 180 centimeters in the present embodiment) of the left and right traveling devices 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A.

  In the present embodiment, the tea seedling planting device B is driven at 22 times / minute (one side), and the traveling device 2 of the riding type tea garden management machine A travels at 22 centimeters / second, thereby approximately 60 centimeters. Planting is performed at intervals (one side).
