Of the left and right outer suppression frames 75 and 75, interlocking rods 92 and 92 protruding toward the inside of the aircraft are provided near the center of the outer suppression frame 75 located inside the aircraft in the front-rear direction and on the lower side of the aircraft. The end side of the interlocking rods 92, 92 on the inner side of the machine body is made to face below the inner suppression frame 88 located on the outer side of the machine body among the left and right inner suppression frames 88, 88.

By arranging the interlocking rods 92 and 92 so as to face below the left and right inner suppression frames 88 and 88, the left and right inner suppression tools 100b and 100c are interlocked when the left and right outer suppression tools 100a and 100d are rotated upward. Then, it rotates upward, and at the time of downward rotation, the left and right inner suppressors 100b and 100c rotate downward according to the downward rotation amount of the left and right outer suppressors 100a and 100d.

With the above configuration, the adjacent left and right inner suppressors 100b and 100c can be rotated up and down in conjunction with the vertical rotation of the left and right outer suppressors 100a and 100d. It can be detected by 300 and the posture of the vehicle body 10 with respect to the field scene can be kept horizontal. As a result, it is possible to prevent the seedlings from being planted diagonally in the field scene and to prevent the traveling direction from being disturbed by the inclination of the vehicle body 10, and it is possible to prevent the seedlings from being planted with a decrease in accuracy.

Further, when there are large irregularities or stones near the center of the ridges being planted, which are not so related to the left-right inclination of the vehicle body 10, the left and right inner suppressors 100b and 100c can be independently rotated up and down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the left and right inner suppressors 100b and 100c from becoming running resistance due to the influence of unevenness and stones.

Further, since the distance between the left and right of each of the suppression rings 80 and 80 can be adjusted, it is possible to suppress an appropriate position according to the type of seedling to be planted and the growth stage. This prevents the soil around the seedlings from solidifying, causing the seedlings to fall or suffering from poor growth due to the influence of the outside air, and the suppression rings 80 and 80 to prevent the seedlings from being trampled, resulting in good seedling growth. become.

Further, by mounting the left and right inner suppression plates 87 and 87 having narrow left and right widths on the left and right inner mounting bosses 86 and 86, the cable member arms 312 and 312 rotate up and down without interfering with the inner suppression plates 87 and 87. Since it is possible, when the vehicle body 10 is tilted in the left-right direction, it can be quickly returned to the horizontal posture, and the deterioration of the seedling planting accuracy is prevented.

The above-mentioned suppression device 50 needs to be grounded during planting work, but if it is near a field scene during non-working running, it may become running resistance or may be damaged by coming into contact with an object near the ground. Further, if the suppression device 50 is located near the field scene during turning, the suppression device 50 may hinder the turning running or may be damaged by the ground resistance.

During non-working or turning, the elevating cylinder is extended to raise the vehicle height of the vehicle body 10 higher than during planting work. The end is pulled toward the front of the machine. Then, the other end of the suppression elevating cable is connected to the elevating cable stays 93, 93 provided on the left and right outer mounting bosses 74, 74. The suppression elevating cable starts to pull up the suppression device 50 at a position where the vehicle height of the vehicle body 10 exceeds the upper limit position of the planting work, and loosens and suppresses when the vehicle height is lower than the upper limit position of the planting work. The device 50 is stretched so as not to be pulled upward.

As a result, the suppression device 50 automatically rotates upward when the vehicle height is set so that the planting work is not performed, so that the suppression device 50 is prevented from coming into contact with the ground while traveling or turning, and the vehicle body may be damaged or the vehicle body may be damaged. It is prevented from hindering the running of 10.

Further, since the left and right outer suppression tools 100a and 100d are configured to rotate upward, the left and right inner suppression tools 100b and 100c can be rotated upward in conjunction with each other, so that the left and right inner suppression tools 100b and 100c can be rotated upward. The mechanism for vertically rotating the vehicle body 10 according to the vehicle height adjustment is not required, and the configuration can be simplified.

The compression rings 80, 80 of the first to fourth suppression tools 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d shown in the figure are arranged in a horizontal or substantially horizontal posture with respect to the ground plane. For seedlings such as lettuce seedlings that have a certain width on the left and right, it is preferable to arrange the above-mentioned suppression rings 80 and 80 that can widely suppress both the left and right sides of the seedling.

However, for seedlings with a small left-right width such as onion seedlings, even if the left-right spacing of the suppression rings 80 and 80 is minimized, the soil around the seedlings cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and the seedlings may fall or be in the soil. Cold air may enter and be affected by low temperatures.

The second suppression device 150 for suppressing the soil near the thin seedlings is configured as follows. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the left side mounting plate 180L is attached to the outer suppression frame 75 and the inner suppression frame 88 located on one side of the left and right sides of the machine (on the left side of the machine) with the left side mounting plate 180L facing downward, and the lower end portion of the left side mounting plate 180L. In addition, the left side suppression stay 181L, which has a "he" shape when viewed from the side, is welded at the lower front side of the machine and in a posture toward the left and right center parts of the left and right outer suppression frames 75,75 or the left and right inner suppression frames 88,88. Fixed by.

Then, the left side suppression axle 182L is arranged in a posture toward the left and right center portions of the left and right outer suppression frames 75,75 or the left and right inner suppression frames 88,88 and toward the upper side of the machine body, and the left side suppression axle 182L is used for left side suppression. The wheel 183L is rotatably arranged in a left-right tilted posture closer to the left-right center portion of the left-right outer suppression frames 75, 75 or the left-right inner suppression frames 88, 88 toward the lower side of the machine body when viewed from the rear.

The left side compression wheel 183L is fixed to the left side of the left side axle 182L by using a fixing member 184 such as a bolt or a nut from one side of the machine body, that is, from the lower side of the machine body. It is configured to be attached to the lower side of the fuselage.

Further, a long hole in the vertical direction or a plurality of mounting holes in the vertical direction are formed in the vicinity of the front end of the left side compression stay 181L to which the left side compression ring 183L is mounted, and the vertical position of the left suppression ring 183L can be adjusted. Attach to.

Further, a left wheel tractor paste 185L facing the lower side of the fuselage is provided on the front and rear portions of the left side wheel tractor stay 181L, and the action portion faces the rear side of the left wheel tractor paste 185L via the side surface of the left wheel tractor ring 183L. , L-shaped left scraper 186L is provided. A long hole in the front-rear direction is formed in the left scraper paste 185L so that the front-rear distance between the left-side compression ring 183L and the left-side scraper 186L can be adjusted.

Then, the right side mounting plate 180R is attached to the outer suppression frame 75 and the inner suppression frame 88 located on the left and right sides of the machine (on the right side of the machine) toward the lower side of the machine, and to the lower end of the right side mounting plate 180R, "to" in a side view. The right side suppression stay 181R in the shape of "" is fixed by welding or the like at the lower rear side of the machine body and in a posture toward the left and right center portions of the left and right outer suppression frames 75, 75 or the left and right inner suppression frames 88, 88.

Then, the right side suppression axle 182R is arranged in a posture toward the left and right center portions of the left and right outer suppression frames 75,75 or the left and right inner suppression frames 88,88 and toward the upper side of the machine body, and the right side suppression axle 182R is used for right side suppression. The wheel 183R is rotatably arranged in a left-right tilted posture closer to the left-right center portion of the left-right outer suppression frames 75, 75 or the left-right inner suppression frames 88, 88 toward the lower side of the machine body when viewed from the rear.

The right side compression wheel 183R is fixed from the left and right sides of the right side compression wheel 182R, that is, from the lower side of the machine body by using a fixing member 184 such as a bolt or a nut. It is configured to be attached to the lower side of the fuselage.

In addition, a long hole in the vertical direction or a plurality of mounting holes in the vertical direction are formed near the front end of the right-side compression stay 181R to which the right-side compression ring 183R is mounted, and the vertical position of the right suppression ring 183R can be adjusted. Attach to.

Further, a right-side wheel tractor paste 185R facing the lower side of the aircraft is provided on the front-rear portion of the right-side suppression stay 181R, and the action portion faces the rear side of the right-side scrap paste 185R via the side surface of the right-side suppression ring 183R. , An L-shaped right scraper 186R is provided. A long hole in the front-rear direction is formed in the right-side scraper paste 185R so that the front-rear distance between the right-side compression ring 183R and the right-side scraper 186R can be adjusted.

In the above configuration, since the lower sides of the left and right suppression rings 183L and 183R are close to each other in the rear view, the suppression action positions of the left and right suppression rings 183L and 183R can be brought closer to the planted seedlings. As a result, the soil around the seedlings remains soft, and it is possible to prevent the seedlings from collapsing due to the influence of wind or the like, or the temperature in the soil is lowered to adversely affect the growth.

Further, by making the mounting positions of the left side mounting plate 180L and the right side mounting plate 180R different in the front-rear direction of the machine body, the front-rear positions of the left and right suppression wheels 183L and 183R are less likely to be displaced, and the surroundings of the seedlings can be reliably suppressed. The outer suppressors 100a and 100d and the inner suppressors 100b and 100c interfere with each other while narrowing the left-right distance between the inner side of the machine and the inner suppressors 100b and 100c of the outer suppressors 100a and 100d. Is prevented.

Further, since the mounting position of the fixing member 184 for fixing the left and right compression rings 183L and 183R is lower than the upper and lower center portions of the left and right compression rings 183L and 183R, the right suppression wheels of the outer compression rings 100a and 100d Although the left and right distance between the 183R and the left side compression ring 183L of the inner compression wheels 100b and 100c is narrow, a space for attaching and detaching the fixing member is formed diagonally below the left and right compression rings 183L and 183R. The work time required can be reduced.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the tilt of the vehicle body 10 in the left-right direction is detected based on the difference in the amount of vertical rotation of the left and right outer suppressors 100a and 100d, and the vehicle body 10 is placed in a horizontal posture with respect to the field scene. The arrangement of the inclination detecting member 300 to be performed will be described.

A space for arranging the inclination detecting member 300 to which the cable member 320 is connected is formed between the left and right of the left and right inner pressurizing tools 100b and 100c. As described above, the tilt detection member 300 has a tilt detection arm member 310 corresponding to the left and right outer pressurizing tools 100a and 100d, respectively.

The left cable member 320 is connected to the left tilt detection arm member 310 interlocking with the suppression rotation shaft 73 on the left side of the machine, and the right cable member 320 is right tilt interlocking with the suppression rotation shaft 73 on the right side of the machine. It is connected to the detection arm member 310.

The lower cable in the cable member 320, which is a rolling wire as a linking member, is located below the main frame or handle frame of the vehicle body 10 from the rear to the front without interfering with the rotatable compression device 50. Be laid out.

The inclination detection arm member stopper 310c is brought into contact with the vehicle body attachment plate 10a as the contacted member from below, so that the tilt detection arm member stopper 310c is in contact with the elevating link device 40a due to excessive ascent of the suppression device 50 due to the descent of the vehicle body 10 at the end of the ridge. Suppress interference.

To facilitate various adjustment operations, the left and right inner suppression plates 87, 87, the left and right inner suppression frames 88, 88, and the inclination detection member 300 projecting rearward at an inclination angle that does not overlap in the side view are provided. A cable member 320 towed by left and right tilt detection arm members 310 that rotate in conjunction with the first to fourth pressurizers 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d is connected.

The vehicle body front-rear direction adjustment bolt 310b is inserted into the vehicle body front-rear direction adjustment slot 310a, and the rear portion of the tilt detection arm member as a wire support arm for positioning is attached to the front portion of the vehicle body front-rear direction adjustment arm member so as to be movable in the vehicle body front-rear direction. Has been done. Therefore, based on the detection result of the inclination detecting member 300, the vehicle body 10 is inclined so that the first to fourth planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d are perpendicular to the field scene, and the planting horizontal maintenance is maintained. The rolling function as a function is realized more reliably.

The cable outer member receiver 321 of the cable member 320 is located in front of the planting mechanism support portion 40b of the planting mechanism 40 so that the adjustment operation can be easily performed.

The tilt detection arm member regulator 310d formed on the horizontal maintenance sensitivity adjustment plate of the tilt detection arm member 310 together with the cable passage hole through which the cable inner member of the cable member 320 passes causes a change in the cable operating range due to the sensitivity adjustment. Instead, it regulates the cable operating range and suppresses the increase in hydraulic valve load due to excessive cable traction. The tilt detection arm member regulator 310d of the left tilt detection arm member 310 regulates the cable operating range of the left tilt detection arm member 310 by abutting the right tilt detection arm member 310 from above, and the right tilt detection arm member. The tilt detection arm member regulator 310d of 310 regulates the cable operating range of the right tilt detection arm member 310 by abutting the left tilt detection arm member 310 from below.

The left or right inclination detection arm member 310 is divided into a suppression tool arm 311 interlocking with the left and right outer suppression tools 100a and 100d, and a cable member arm 312 to which the cable member 320 is connected.

In the present embodiment, the left inclination detection arm member 310 is divided into a suppression tool arm 311 interlocking with the left and right outer suppression tools 100a and 100d, and a cable member arm 312 to which the cable member 320 is connected. There is.

The cable member arm 312 is attached to the suppressor arm 311 so that the attachment position can be adjusted.

The left tilt detection arm member 310 is divided into a pressurizing tool arm 311 as a rotation support shaft arm on the front side of the vehicle body and a cable member arm 312 as an adjustment arm on the rear side of the vehicle body, and the vehicle body vertical direction adjustment bolt 311b. Is inserted into the vehicle body vertical adjustment slot 311a. As a result, the amount of left-right movement in the planting horizontal maintenance function is adjusted by rotating the cable member arm 312 in the vertical direction.

In the vicinity of the right tilt detection arm member 310, there is a so-called depth sensor for adjusting the vehicle height based on the amount of rotation while rotating in contact with an uneven field scene, and the left and right outside of the vehicle body rolling mechanism. Since the reference portion for detecting the difference in the amount of rotation of the pressurizing tools 100a and 100d is provided, and the right inclination detection arm member 310 which is the vertical height reference in the planting horizontal maintenance function is not divided, the vehicle body 10 The left-right inclination can be easily set according to the field inclination, the field soil quality, and the like, and the planting posture in which the planting hopper 41 is more vertical to the field scene is realized more reliably, and the seedling planting accuracy is improved.

When the left and right outer suppression tools 100a and 100d rotate up and down, the left and right suppression rotation shafts 73 and 73 rotate in conjunction with each other, and the left and right cable member arms 312 and 312 rotate in the front-rear direction in conjunction with each other. do. At this time, the amount of pulling of each of the cable members 320 and 320 fluctuates due to the change in the vertical position of each of the left and right inclination detection arm members 310 and 310, and each one side end portion of the cable members 320 and 320 is connected. The opening degree of the hydraulic valve (not shown) is changed in either the extension direction or the contraction direction. When the opening degree of the hydraulic valve changes, the connected rolling cylinder expands, and the traveling transmission case 21 on the left and right sides is rotated up and down to change the vehicle height on the left and right sides of the vehicle body 10.

As a result, the left-right inclination of the vehicle body 10 can be changed according to the inclination of the field scene, so that the planting posture of the seedlings becomes vertical or substantially perpendicular to the field scene, and the planting accuracy is improved.

In addition, instead of the left and right outer suppressors 100b and 100c provided near the center of the left and right sides of the vehicle body 10 where the difference in height between the left and right is unlikely to occur, the difference in height between the left and right tends to be large due to the influence of the depth of the ridges and the like. By detecting the left-right inclination of the vehicle body 10 by the outer suppressors 100a and 100d, the vehicle body 10 can be rolled into a horizontal posture when there is a large left-right inclination that affects the planting of seedlings.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the rolling cylinder from expanding and contracting and the vehicle body 10 from frequently rolling when a slight left-right inclination that does not affect the planting of seedlings is detected, so that the planting posture is prevented from being disturbed. ..

Only the vertical adjustment of the vehicle body with respect to the left and right outer pressurizing tools 100a and 100d can be performed, and so-called left-right balance adjustment, lift position adjustment, stopper position adjustment and the like are unnecessary.

Since the cable member 320 is located behind the space in the left-right direction of the left and right inner planting hoppers 41b and 41c and the left and right outer pressurizers 100a and 100d, not only the front-back movement operation of the cable member 320 but also the cable member arm It is easy to perform adjustment operations such as vertical rotation of 312.

The first to fourth planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d raise and lower the first planting hopper 41a and the second planting hopper 41b on one side of the left and right sides of the machine (on the left side of the machine) by the elevating link device 40aL on the left side. At the same time, the third planting hopper 41c and the fourth planting hopper 41d on the left and right sides of the machine (on the right side of the machine) are moved up and down by the elevating link device 40aR on the right side.

The left-right spacing between seedlings to be planted, the so-called inter-row spacing, can be set by moving the planting hopper in the left-right direction in a transplanting machine that can easily secure the adjustment range, such as double-row planting. In a multi-row planting machine such as a 4-row planting machine in which it is difficult to secure an adjustment range by the device, the hopper structure of the planting hopper is arranged in an inclined posture in the left-right direction of the machine, and the space between the rows is set.

Therefore, in the multi-row planting transplant machine, the planting rows are basically determined by the planting hopper attached, and it is necessary to replace the planting hopper with a planting hopper corresponding to the different rows in order to perform the work between the different rows. There is. However, there is a problem that a lot of man-hours are required for the replacement work and extra time and labor must be spent.

The configuration of the first to fourth planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d to be attached to the left and right elevating link mechanisms 40aL, 40aR to solve this problem will be described. In this case, the configuration will be described using the elevating link mechanism 40aL on the left and right sides of the machine and the first and second planting hoppers 41a and 41b. Since the planting hoppers 41c and 41d of No. 4 have a symmetrical structure, the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, at the rear of the upper and lower elevating link arms 420 and 421, the first and second planting hoppers 41a, which rotate back and forth by the elevating and lowering of the upper and lower elevating link arms 420 and 421, Swing arms 422 and 422 that swing 41b in the front-rear direction are provided. A cylindrical mounting support shaft 423 is provided on the upper side of the left and right swing arms 422 and 422, respectively, in the left-right direction.

Then, a U-shaped hopper mounting stay 424 is mounted on the front side of the planted hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d in a plan view. As shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the left and right sides of the hopper mounting stay 424 form bent portions 425 and 425 toward the front side of the machine body, respectively, and the bent portions 425 and 425 have the mounting support shaft. The receiving holes 425a and 425a into which the 423 is inserted are formed.

Further, in the hopper mounting portion 426 located between the left and right bent portions 425 and 425 of the hopper mounting stay 424, holes having the same diameter are continuously provided in the left-right direction of the machine body, and the planting hopper 41a (41b) is provided. Mounting holes 426a and 426a for passing fixing members such as bolts are formed on both the left and right sides, which are located lower as they approach the center in the left-right direction of the machine. Further, a receiving member, for example, a nut, which is detachably received by the fixing member, is provided on the back surface (rear side of the machine body) of the hopper mounting stay 424 so that the fixing member can be attached and detached.

The mounting holes 426a are formed by overlapping holes 426a1, 426a2, 426a3, etc. having the same diameter, and can be moved without completely removing the fixing member and the receiving member by loosening the tightening of the fixing member. Then, the posture of the planting hopper 41a (41b, 41c, 41d) can be easily changed.

The hopper mounting stay 424 is mounted on the front side of the hopper frame 427, which mounts the seedling guide 38 for guiding the seedlings falling from the seedling supply table 42 and the left and right hopper components 39, 39. In the front side portion of the hopper frame 427, one hole having the same diameter as the hole 426aL (426aC, 426aR ...) constituting the mounting hole 426a is formed on each side, and a fixing member such as a bolt is inserted into this hole. And.

In the case where the above mounting hole 426a is composed of three holes 426a1, 426a2, 426a3 in the left-right direction, an example of changing the angle of the planting hopper 41a (41b) to change the planting rows of seedlings will be described. do. When the fixing members are inserted into and fixed to the central holes 426a2 and 426a2 shown in FIG. The space between the planting hoppers 41a and 41b is set to the basic space S.

Next, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the planting hopper 41a on the right side, one of the left and right fixing members is provided in the hole 426a1, and the other left and right fixing members are provided in the hole 426a3. Then, in the planting hopper 41b on the left side, one of the left and right fixing members is provided in the hole 426a3, and the left and right other fixing members are provided in the hole 426a1.

As a result, the left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b are in a posture of approaching each other toward the lower end side, so that the space between the adjacent left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b is set to the narrow space N.

Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), in the planting hopper 41a on the right side, one of the left and right fixing members is provided in the hole 426a3, and the other left and right fixing members are provided in the hole 426a1. Then, in the planting hopper 41b on the left side, one of the left and right fixing members is provided in the hole 426a1, and the left and right other fixing members are provided in the hole 426a3.

As a result, the left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b are in a posture in which they are separated from each other toward the lower end side, so that the spaces between the left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b that are adjacent to each other are set to wide strips W.

With the above configuration, the planting rows of the seedlings can be changed without moving the left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b in the left-right direction, so that the planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c and 41d interfere with each other. It is possible to plant seedlings at appropriate left-right intervals without any problems.

As a result, the seedlings can grow with an appropriate growth space, so that the size and yield of the harvested crop are ensured. In addition, since the field is well ventilated during growth, pests and molds are less likely to occur.

When setting the space between the left and right planting hoppers 41a and 41b, it is common to have the same posture on the left and right as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (c). The mounting posture may be changed on only one side, and different planting strips may be set to further improve the adaptability of working conditions.

When the seedlings to be transplanted are crops such as onions whose harvesting part grows underground, the planting positions of the planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d are not side by side, and the first planting hoppers 41a and the third planting are not arranged side by side. It is desirable to make a so-called staggered planting in which the planting position between the attached hoppers 41c and the planting position between the second planting hopper 41b and the fourth planting hopper 41d are displaced back and forth.

As shown in FIG. 16, by arranging the left and right planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, and 41d at different front-back tilt angles in the side view, the arrangement corresponds to staggered planting. By changing the front-back tilt angle of the hopper mounting stay 424 mounted on the mounting support shaft 423, the front-back tilt angles of the left and right planting hoppers 41a, 41b, and 41c, 41d can be made different.

As a result, the crop can obtain a sufficient growth space in the soil, so that the size and yield of the harvested crop are ensured.

As described above, the left-right inclination of the field scene (ridge surface) is detected using the difference in the left-right rotation amount of the left and right outer suppressors 100a and 100d, but since it is configured to be detected on the rear side of the machine body. For some seedlings that are planted before the aircraft rolls, the planting depth may not be as set or the planting attitude may be tilted to the left or right. This may cause problems such as poor growth of seedlings or collapse of seedlings.

In order to deal with this problem, as shown in FIG. 17, at the lower part of the vehicle body 10 and at the position on the front side of the machine body from the planting hoppers 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d, the surface is grounded by the ridge surface and the surface is pressed and leveled by the load. At the same time, left and right front suppression devices 500 and 500 that rotate up and down according to the unevenness of the ridge surface that cannot be compressed by the ground load are provided. Since the planting depth of the front side suppression devices 500 and 500 becomes shallow when the ridge surface is excessively pressed, the ground contact load can be adjusted but is set lightly, so that the soil quality and ridges of the field are hardened. Depending on the method, the ridge surface may not be pressed and leveled, so that it can rotate up and down to provide running resistance and prevent it from diving into the soil.

The front side suppression device 500 is provided in the vicinity of the central portion in the left-right direction of the vehicle body 10 so as to be rotatable back and forth near the upper portion of the L-shaped sensor arm 501 in a side view, and is located near the bent portion on the lower side of the sensor arm 501. , The base of the roller arm 503, which is rotatably mounted with the front suppression roller 502 near the rear end, is rotatably mounted up and down. Further, in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the sensor arm 501 and at a position above the roller arm 503, a rotation regulation hole 501a for inserting a regulation pin 504 that contacts the upper surface of the roller arm 503 and restricts upward rotation is vertically provided. Multiple layers are formed at predetermined intervals in the direction. A urging support arm 509 is rotatably provided at the bent portion of the sensor arm 501 together with the sensor arm 501 in an inclined posture toward the rear side and upper side of the machine body when viewed from the side.

Then, on the rear side of the roller arm 503 and on the front side of the mounting portion of the front compression roller 502, the lower side of the compression spring 505 that urges the roller arm 503 downward to press and equalize the ridge surface is attached. At the same time, the upper end portion is attached to the rear upper side of the urging support arm 509. The compression spring 505 is configured such that a spring body 505b is provided on the outer periphery of the rod 505a and the urging force can be adjusted by a pressure adjusting nut 505c provided on the upper side.

Further, an auxiliary spring that urges the sensor arm 501 to the front side to prevent unnecessary rotation of the sensor arm 501 due to vibration of the machine body or the like on the lower side and the rear side of the rotation fulcrum of the sensor arm 501. Attach the front side of the 506. The rear side of the auxiliary spring 506 shall be mounted on the vehicle body 10.

Further, near the upper part of the sensor arm 501, the base side of the second cable member 507 that is pulled or loosened by the front-back rotation of the sensor arm 501 is mounted. The end sides of the left and right second cable members 507 are attached to hydraulic valves in place of the cable members 320 and 320, respectively, and when the opening degree of the hydraulic valves changes, the connected rolling cylinder expands. The traveling transmission case 21 on the left and right sides is rotated up and down to change the vehicle height on the left and right sides of the vehicle body 10. As described above, the left and right front suppression devices 500 and 500 are configured, respectively.

If the front suppression rollers 502 are not in contact with the ground, the left and right front suppression devices 500, 500 will rotate downward due to their own weight and the urging force of the suppression spring 505. In this state, the left and right front suppression devices 500, 500 are located at the height immediately before touching the field scene or touching the field scene, and the operator pushes the rear side of the vehicle body 10 downward to lift the front side. When turning with the drive rear wheel 12 on the inner side of the turn as a fulcrum, the left and right front suppression devices 500, 500 may come into contact with the ground and hinder smooth turning.

In order to prevent this problem, the roller arm 503 is rotated to the upper limit by being pulled or loosened in conjunction with the expansion and contraction of the elevating cylinder near the central portion in the front-rear direction of the roller arm 503. A lift cable 508 that rotates the rear side upward of the machine is attached to each of the left and right sides. As a result, when the elevating cylinder is contracted during turning and the rear side of the left and right running transmission cases 21 and 21 is lowered to make the vehicle body 10 a vehicle height suitable for turning, the left and right front side suppression devices 500 and 500 are used for the vehicle body. Since it rotates upward until it approaches the lower part of 10, the turning running can be smoothly performed and the deterioration of work efficiency is prevented.

With the above configuration, the height of the field scene before planting the seedlings is detected and the rolling control of the vehicle body 10 is performed. Therefore, even if the ridge surface is inclined to the left or right from the start of the ridge planting work, the vehicle body 10 is horizontal. It is maintained and the planting posture of seedlings is stable.

Further, by restricting the upward rotation position of the roller arm 503 with the regulation pin 504, the roller arm 503 rotates upward immediately in a place where the pressure cannot be leveled, so that the vehicle body is in a place where the ridge surface is inclined to the left or right. 10 makes it easier to maintain level.

Further, by urging the roller arm 503 downward with the compression spring 505, the small protrusions on the ridge surface can be pressed and leveled to be flattened, so that the planting depth and the planting posture are disturbed by unnecessary rolling control. Is prevented and the planting accuracy of seedlings is improved.

Further, by urging the sensor arm 501 to the front of the machine body by the auxiliary spring 506, it is possible to prevent the sensor arm 501 from rotating significantly when the vehicle body 10 vibrates and pulling the second cable member 507. Rolling control is prevented from being erroneously performed in a place where the ridge surface is flat.

The transplanting machine in the present invention has a simple structure of the suppression mechanism, which makes the structure simple and easy to maintain, and the number of parts is reduced to reduce the weight. Therefore, the seedlings can be run in the field.
