DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rush seedling supplying apparatus used for supplying rush seedlings to a seedling mounting table of a rush seedling transplanter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, rush seedling transplanters have come into practical use.

[0003]

By the way, since rush seedlings cannot be formed in a mat shape like rice seedlings, the divided seedlings are supplied to a seedling mounting table of a transplanter. However, the technique for replenishing rush seedlings to the seedling mounting platform has not yet been determined, and therefore, the development of a means for replenishing spare seedlings is desired as the next problem. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a rush seedling supply apparatus suitable for transporting and replenishing spare rush seedlings in order to meet the above demand.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the present invention has the following arrangement. In other words, the rush seedling supply device according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a rush seedling replenishing seedling box, which is openable and closable at one end which is a lower side of a seedling box mounted on a mounting base of the rush seedling transplanting machine. A shutter is provided, and an operating tool for opening and closing the shutter is provided at a position opposite to the side where the shutter is present, and a connecting rod for linking the operating tool and the shutter is disposed outside the seedling box. It is characterized by the following.

A rush seedling supply device according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a seedling box for supplying rush seedlings, the lower end of which is mounted on a mounting stand of the rush seedling transplanter. In addition to providing a shutter that can be opened and closed, an operating tool for opening and closing the shutter is provided at a position opposite to the side where the shutter exists, and a maximum amount of the seedling box is inserted into the seedling mounting table. The operation tool is provided in association with the seedling box in a state where the operation tool is forcibly operated in the shutter opening direction in contact with an upper end portion.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the invention, in order to supply rush seedlings to the seedling mounting table, first, a seedling box containing rush seedlings is loaded into the seedling mounting table, and then the seedling box is loaded into the seedling mounting table. Transfer the rush seedlings to a seedling table, and finally pull out the seedling box and remove it. At this time, if the operation tool located at the top of the seedling box is artificially operated while the seedling box is loaded on the seedling mounting table, the shutter having the function of retaining the stored seedlings can be opened at the time of moving and transporting, so that it can be easily performed. The rush seedlings in the seedling box can be moved to the seedling table side. And since the operating tool is located at the upper end of the seedling box when loaded on the seedling mounting table, it is possible to open and close the shutter and move the seedling box while in the driver's seat,
The seedlings can be replenished by one person without going down to the planting ground. In this case, since the connecting rod that links the operating tool and the shutter is located outside the seedling box, the rush seedlings stored in the seedling box do not come into contact with the connecting rod.

According to the second aspect of the invention, seedlings can be replenished in the same manner as in the first aspect of the invention, and when the seedling box is inserted and set in the maximum amount on the seedling mounting table, that is, the seedlings are initially set. Is supplied to the seedling mounting table, the shutter is automatically opened in accordance with the operation, and the supply operation of the seedling can be performed without operating the operation tool.

[0008]

According to the rush seedling supply device of the first aspect of the present invention, rush seedlings that have been separated and separated can be easily transported using a seedling box with a shutter, and can be carried out while staying in the transplanting machine. It is now easy to replenish the seedling mount. In addition, while the shutter at the lower end of the seedling box can be easily operated from the upper end side of the seedling box, the rush seedlings stored in the seedling box are not damaged by contact with the connecting rod for opening and closing the shutter, and the rush seedlings can be removed. Can be replenished to the seedling mounting table without damage.

According to the rush seedling supply device of the second aspect of the present invention, the rush seedlings that have been separated and separated can be easily transported by using a seedling box with a shutter, and can be transported while staying in the transplanting machine. The seedling table can be easily replenished, and the replenishment work at the time of the initial seedling supply can be further simplified and used more conveniently.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the rush seedling transplanter shown in FIG. 4, a seedling planting device 2 is connected to a rear portion of a traveling machine body V via a link mechanism 1 so as to be able to move up and down. A seedling mounting table 4 that moves laterally, a planting mechanism 6 for cutting and planting seedlings one by one from a seedling outlet 5 at the lower end thereof, a plurality of leveling floats 7 and the like are provided. At the lower part of the seedling placing table 4, there is provided an endless rotating belt type vertical feeding device 8 with a projection for feeding the seedlings vertically by a predetermined amount toward the seedling take-out opening 5 at a stroke end of the lateral movement, Above the planting mechanism 6, there is provided a seedling holding mechanism 11 by a holding claw 10 which enters the lower end of the seedling prior to the operation of the planting claw 9 and pushes out and holds it toward the seedling outlet 5.

To supply seedlings to the seedling mounting table 4, a seedling box A shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is used. This seedling box A has left and right side plates 1
2 and 12 and the bottom plate 13 are integrally formed, and one of the handles 1
A fixed end wall 15 is attached, and the other end is provided with a shutter 16 which can swing around a fulcrum P at the lower end. A bracket 17 is provided on the outer side surface of the side plate 12 on the fixed end wall 15 side.
An operating tool 18 that can swing freely around the left and right axes is attached via the connecting member 18, and the operating tool 18 and the shutter 16 are linked and connected by a connecting rod 19. Further, a contact plate 20 is fixed to a lateral outer side of an upper portion of the operation tool 18. This is Figure 1
As shown in (a), when the seedling box A is inserted and set in the seedling stand 4 for the first seedling supply (until the seedling box hits the lower limit stopper of the seedling stand), the seedling stand 4 The position and shape of the partitioning vertical wall 21 are set so as to abut on the upper end of the partitioning vertical wall 21. Thereby, as shown in FIG.
The operation tool 18 is operated to the left (upper side) in the figure, and the shutter 16 is automatically opened. When the seedlings are supplied during the planting operation, the shutter 16 is opened and closed by manual operation of the operation tool 18.

[Another Embodiment] The seedling mounting table 4 is provided below the pivot point of the operating tool 18 to the seedling box A.
The upper surface of the mounting surface 4a may be in contact with the upper surface of the mounting surface 4a, and the maximum insertion set state to the seedling mounting table 4 may be displayed.

In the claims, reference numerals are provided for convenience of comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the attached drawings.
