Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for rocking a seedling receiving tray of a grafting robot, and more particularly, to transporting seedlings grafted by the grafting robot out of the grafting robot. The present invention relates to a swinging device for a seedling receiving tray when receiving seedlings in the tray. 2. Description of the Related Art The present inventors have developed a grafting robot for automatically grafting rootstock seedlings and spikelet seedlings, and have obtained a series of patent applications (Japanese Patent Application Nos. 4-161515 and 5- 194828
No. etc.). [0003] The grafting robot developed by the present inventors cuts a rootstock seedling and a scion seedling arranged in a seedling supply device with respective cutting devices, and cuts the cut ears. Trees and rootstocks are joined by clips using these joining devices. Then, the grafted seedlings are acclimated and cultivated by the acclimation and cultivation processing device. Then, the present inventor has developed a device that automatically transplants the grafted seedlings one by one to a tray and automatically carries out a tray in which each seedling is planted,
A patent application (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-179295, etc.) was filed. However, the automatic transplanting apparatus has high equipment costs, and often does not require an expensive automatic transplanting apparatus depending on the type of plant to be grafted. In this case, grafted seedlings clip-joined from the grafting robot are dropped one after another into a large tray, and the piled seedlings are manually carried out to the next process, or the grafted seedlings that are individually grafted one by one are removed. It had to be removed from the grafting robot and arranged in a tray large enough to hold a plurality of seedlings. Seedlings piled up in the tray
In particular, in the case of rooted seedlings, soil attached to the roots and the seedlings piled up with the seedlings and inevitably soiled the seedlings. In addition, manually arranging grafted seedlings in a seedling receiving tray has been a problem in terms of work efficiency. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for receiving a graft so as not to be automatically piled up in a tray before a graft graft carried out from a grafting robot is transported to a growing device. [0004] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following constitution. In other words, a belt conveyor is arranged below the unloading part of the grafted seedling of the grafting robot that automatically joins the rootstock seedling and the seedling seedling, and the seedling receiving tray swings reciprocatingly in the traveling direction below the tip of the conveyor. This is a grafted seedling receiving device provided with the device. After the rootstock seedling and the scion seedling are joined by the clip at the joint of the grafting robot, they drop onto the belt conveyor and are received on the seedling receiving tray at the end of the belt conveyor. The seedling receiving tray is a tray-shaped tray having a size capable of storing a large number of grafted seedlings. The seedling receiving tray is mounted on the swinging device and can swing horizontally. In this way, the joined seedlings are successively carried out of the grafting robot by the conveyor and fall into the seedling receiving tray, but since the seedling receiving tray swings in the horizontal direction, a plurality of seedlings are placed inside the tray. They can be arranged so that they do not overlap. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 (FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 1 is a plan view) of a seedling receiving tray swinging device for receiving seedlings carried out from the grafting robot of the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a side view). A rootstock (not shown) at the joint 2 of the grafting robot 1 is cut, leaving one cotyledon, cut off below the hypocotyl, and a part of the hypocotyl (not shown) cut off leaving the cotyledon. After being joined with the seedlings and clips, the seedlings drop onto the belt conveyor 3 and are received on the seedling receiving tray 5 at the end of the belt conveyor 3. The seedling receiving tray 5 is a tray-shaped tray having a size capable of storing a large number of grafted seedlings. The seedling receiving tray 5 is mounted on the swinging device 6 and swings in the horizontal direction as indicated by an arrow A. can do. The seedlings joined by the grafting robot 1 as described above are successively carried out of the grafting robot 1 by the belt conveyor 3 and the seedling receiving tray 5
However, since the seedling receiving tray 5 swings in the direction of arrow A, a plurality of seedlings can be arranged in the tray 5 so as not to overlap with each other. In this way, the soil attached to the roots, which has been regarded as a problem particularly in the case of rooted seedlings, is not piled up on the seedling receiving tray 5 together with the seedlings, and the seedlings are not soiled. [0007] The belt conveyor 3 and the seedling receiving tray 5
4 is an enlarged front view of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view thereof. Is provided with a dropping chute 9. The seedling drop fork 7 is composed of a large number of lattice-shaped forks 7a, and is attached to the column 10 of the belt conveyor 3 in an inclined manner in a direction for guiding the seedling to the seedling receiving tray 5. Also,
The dropping chute 9 is attached to the column 10 in an inclined roof shape so as to guide the soil falling from between the forks 7 a to the outside of the seedling receiving tray 5. Therefore, even if rooted seedlings are conveyed on the belt conveyor 3, the soil conveyed together with the seedlings should be separated through the fork 7 and the lower dropping chute 9 so as not to get on the seedling receiving tray 5. The seedlings falling into the seedling receiving tray 5 are not stained with soil. The cross-sectional shape of the frame 11 serving as a base on which the seedling receiving tray 5 of the seedling receiving tray swinging device 6 is placed is U-shaped, and the seedling is placed on the horizontal plate portion 11a above the D-shaped frame 11. The receiving tray 5 is placed, and the lower horizontal plate member 11b is connected to a pair of mirror-symmetric chassis 12 having a bent cross section. And, the D-shaped frame 11
The cover 13 is put on the vertical plate portion 11c. The cover 13 has a vertical plate portion 11 of the U-shaped frame 11.
The cover opening 13a is arranged at the narrowest portion of c (the dashed line in FIG. 4 indicates an imaginary line of the cover). With such a configuration, the opening area of the cover opening 13a can be reduced, so that dirt and dust can hardly enter the seedling receiving tray swinging device 6 from the opening 13a. Also, the cover 13
Since soil and the like easily accumulate on the top, the soil can be dropped down by making the cross-sectional shape of the cover 13 trapezoidal, and the reciprocation of the seedling receiving tray 5 is not hindered. Further, the frame of the base part of the seedling receiving tray swinging device 6 is a ladder-shaped frame 15 composed of a longitudinal member 15a and a ladder 15b, and the longitudinal member 15a of the frame 15 is used as a guide to form the cross section. The moving wheels 16 attached to the swinging chassis 12 supporting the U-shaped frame 11 are reciprocated. Since the rigidity of the apparatus is obtained only by the ladder-shaped frame 15 and the member is used as a guide for the moving wheels 16, the structure of the entire seedling receiving apparatus is simplified, and the weight of the moving wheels 16 can be increased. The moving wheels 16 are fixed to and supported by the chassis 12 in the longitudinal rack 17 shown in FIG.
A reciprocating motion can be performed by meshing with a pinion (not shown) in 9. The pinion is driven by a motor 20 (see FIG. 5). As described above, when the seedling receiving device of the present embodiment is used, even if rooted seedlings are carried out from the grafting robot 1 and conveyed by the belt conveyor 3, the fork 7 for inducing the seedlings to drop the seedlings into the seedling receiving tray 5. At the same time as the soil is guided, the soil can be separated from the seedling receiving tray 5 by the lower dropping chute 9 through the gap between the forks 7a so that the seedlings can be placed on the seedling receiving tray 5 in a clean state. It has become possible. The seedling receiving tray for receiving the joined seedlings is placed on the swinging device, so that a plurality of seedlings can be automatically arranged in the tray so as not to overlap each other. It is possible to automate the manufacturing process of grafted seedlings and to save labor.
