Description

  The present invention relates to a seedling planting tool that can plant vegetable seedlings, in particular, vine-like ones, in a field with an operator standing.

  When planting seedlings of agricultural crops in fields, automatic planting machines are used in large-scale cultivation, but mechanization is not appropriate in terms of cost and efficiency in small-scale cultivation, and is manually performed by workers. ing. In other words, with the posture crouched by the operator, drilling a hole in the ground with a transplanting iron or stick, inserting the seedling into the hole, and holding the surrounding soil by hand, walking sideways, It has moved to the planting position.

  In order to supplement rice seedlings at the place where rice seedlings are planted by a rice transplanter, a manual instrument that allows a worker to stand is known that has a bifurcated nail projecting from the tip of a stick. The bifurcated nail of this instrument is inserted into one seedling of the rice seedbed to separate it, and the bifurcated nail holding this rice stock is inserted into the dropout site of the rice seedling for supplementary planting. This work can be performed with the worker standing with the walking stick in hand.

Utility Model Registration No. 3007712

However, the above-mentioned known device cannot hold a stem on a walking stick because a vine-like seedling is relatively high even if the root of the vine-like seedling is held with a bifurcated nail. If you do not hold it with a stick, the stem will hang down, so there is a problem that you cannot plant efficiently.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a seedling planting tool that can plant a vine seedling in a relatively small-scale crop cultivation in a posture in which an operator stands. A first seedling retaining piece is attached to the outer surface of the elongated body provided with a seedling insertion holding portion at a predetermined distance in the length direction of the elongated body from the seedling insertion holding portion. In addition, a predetermined distance is further provided in the length direction of the elongated body than the first seedling hanging piece, and the first seedling hanging piece is provided in a direction around the circumferential surface of the long body. A second seedling hanging piece is attached at an angle interval of.

Preferably, the elongate body is made of a bar or hollow cylinder having a cross-sectional polygonal or circular shape such as a tree, metal, plastic, etc. having a length convenient for a farmer to handle while standing and a thickness that can be grasped by hand. It is composed of a guide bar (hereinafter referred to as a bar), the seedling insertion holding portion at the tip is composed of a bifurcated fork, and first and second seedling hanging pieces (hereinafter referred to as hanging pieces) are triangular, for example, right angle It consists of a triangular flat plate, and the long sides sandwiching each right angle are along the length of the bar, and the short sides sandwiching the right angle are arranged closer to the fork and extend in the direction perpendicular to the bar axis. The right-angled triangular plate is extended and extended toward the fork, and the first hooking piece is in the same plane as the fork, and the second hooking piece is in the direction around the bar. A suitable angular interval, for example, rotated 90 degrees In position, it is joined to the long side of the bar of the outer surface and projecting fixed attached to the bar. A handle and a strap of a suspender can be attached to the other end of the bar in a T shape.

In the above configuration, the stem portion slightly above (several centimeters) above the base of the vine seedling to be planted is sandwiched between the forks and the upper portion of the base portion of the seedling stem is bent by its elasticity while rotating the bar. When it is wrapped around and hooked on the first (lower) latching piece of the bar close to the fork, the seedling is held by the latching piece due to its repulsive force and will not come off. Then, the bar is further rotated, and the upper part of the seedling is hooked on the second (upper) hooking piece. By folding the protruding end portion of the second hooking piece to form the hooking portion, it is possible to further reliably hold the seedling. The seedlings that are hooked on the first and second retaining pieces in this way are held on the bar via the retaining pieces by the repulsive force. Therefore, the worker holds the bar with one hand and holds the bar with one hand, inserts the fork into the soil, and pulls out the bar leaving the base of the inserted stem in the soil.

According to this device, the seedling is pinched with a fork at its base end and wound around a bar, and its unwinding due to its elasticity is blocked by the upper and lower hooking pieces, and is supported by the fork and the upper and lower hooking pieces. Holds securely on the bar. Therefore, even if the bar is operated with one hand, it is not necessary to place the seedling along the bar with the other hand, work in a standing posture, no need to bend and stretch the hips, and planting quickly without getting tired It can be performed. When the fork is inserted into the soil, the tip of the seedling stalk is folded into the soil without falling off, and when the bar is pulled out of the soil after planting, the bent stem functions as a `` moder ''. The fork stays in the soil due to the resistance of the soil, and the fork easily separates from the stalk, and the upper and lower latching pieces spread toward the fork, so the upper part of the stalk slides on the inclined side of the latching piece without resistance Only the bar can be pulled out. Carrying the seedlings in a shoulder-type basket makes it easy to plant alone while standing.

(A) is a perspective view of the seedling planting tool concerning one Example of this invention, (b) is II expanded sectional view of (a) figure. It is explanatory drawing of the planting work process by the seedling planting tool of this invention. It is a perspective view of the state where the seedling stalk was held in the seedling planting tool of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an elongated body (bar), preferably a thin pipe having a length suitable for handling while standing by an operator and a thickness that is easy to grasp. The material and cross-sectional shape of the pipe are not limited. Reference numeral 2 denotes a bifurcated fork provided at one end (tip) of the bar 1, which presses the tip of the pipe of the bar into a plate shape or attaches a separate plate and releases the U-shaped groove at the tip. 3 is formed. The width of the groove 3 is such that a seedling stalk can be inserted and removed, and its length (depth) is preferably 2 to 3 times the diameter of the seedling stalk.

A and B are first (lower) and second (upper) (seedling) hanging pieces, respectively, in the illustrated example, a right triangle plate, and the long sides a1 and b1 of the two sides sandwiching the right angle are shown as bars. 1 so that the short sides a2 and b2 are oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the bar 1, and the respective short sides a2 and b2 are arranged on the fork 2 side. The triangular plate is fixed to the circumferential surface of the bar 1 at each of the long sides a1 and b1 so as to be away from the axis of the bar 1 toward the second side, and thus the triangular plate becomes wider toward the fork 2. Then, the latch piece A is arranged on the same plane as the fork 2 with the short side a2 at a predetermined appropriate (several centimeters) distance from the fork 2. The latch piece B is separated from the upper end of the latch piece A so that its short side b2 is about half of the average total length of the stalk from the fork 2, and from the plane of the latch piece A, the bar 1 It is arranged at a position rotated about a predetermined angle around the axis, preferably 90 degrees. When the hooking piece B is bent at a predetermined angle with respect to the flat surface, preferably about 60 to 90 degrees in the above rotation direction to provide the hooking part C, the seedling stem will fall off from the hooking piece B. It can be blocked more effectively.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a handle attached to the other end (upper end) of the bar in a T shape, and reference numeral 5 denotes a strap of a suspension line provided in addition to the handle.

With reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the planting operation steps 1 to 4 using the implement of the present invention will be described assuming a sweet potato seedling.
Step 1. The operator holds the bar 1 or the handle 4 with one hand, hangs the hanging hand 5 on the wrist, holds the seedling P in the other hand, and inserts 2-3 cm above the tip of the seedling stem into the groove 3 of the fork 2.
Step 2. When the bar 1 is rotated by the handle 4, the inserted stem portion is locked at both edges of the groove 3 of the fork 2. Next, when the seedling stalk is turned around the hook piece A, the seedling stem is hooked between the fork 2 and the hook piece A by its elastic force.
Step 3. Further, when the bar 1 is rotated 90 degrees so as to wrap the stem around the bar 1 and hung on the hooking piece B, the stem is hooked between the hooking piece A and the hooking piece B by its elastic force. At this time, the seedling P is supported by three points of the fork 2, the latching piece A, and the latching piece B in a state of being wound around the bar 1 by 180 degrees, and coupled with the action of the catching portion C of the latching piece B on the bar 1 Holds securely.
Step 4. The bar 1 around which the seedlings P are wound is inserted from the fork 2 to a predetermined depth into the farmed and plowed field. For multi-cultivation, insert from above the multi. Then the bar 1 is pulled out leaving the seedling P.

In step 4, when the fork 2 is inserted into the soil, the tip of the seedling is bent by the soil with the fork 2 and enters the soil. Therefore, when inserting the fork 2 is prevented from falling off the fork 2 and when the bar 1 is pulled out, The bent part acts as a “mode”, and the tip of the seedling stays in the soil due to the resistance of the soil. And even if the upper part of the seedlings touches the latching pieces A and B, the shape of the triangle is widened at the end, so that the seedlings slide on the hypotenuse, so there is little contact resistance, and the seedlings are not pulled out together with the bar. In addition, even if the bent part is slightly damaged, vine seedlings such as sweet potato root from each node in the soil, so there is no influence on the growth of the seedlings.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used efficiently in planting seedlings of agricultural crops, particularly vine seedlings, in a standing posture without burdening the operator's waist, and is particularly useful in small-scale cultivation. .
