  The rotor support structure 6 includes a beam member 66 that is rotatably supported on both side members 65b of the support frame 65 of the seedling stage 51, a support arm 67 fixed to both ends of the beam member 66, and the support arm 67. A rotor support frame 68 that is rotatably attached to the support arm 67 is provided. A drive shaft 70 (first drive shaft 70a, second drive shaft 70b) of the rotor 27 is attached to the lower end of the rotor support frame 68. Further, the lower end portion of the rotor support frame 68 is connected to a connecting member 71 rotatably attached to the transmission case 50.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the second rotor 27 b in front of the center float 55 is disposed in front of the first rotor 27 a in front of the side float 56 due to the arrangement position with the floats 55 and 56. Therefore, power is transmitted from the gear in the gear case 18 of the rear wheel 11 to the first drive shaft 70a that drives the first rotor 27a on the left side via the universal joint 72, and further provided at the inner end of the first drive shaft 70a. A bevel gear (not shown) meshed with the bevel gear is provided at an end portion of the bevel gear (not shown), and power is transmitted to the transmission shaft disposed in the left transmission case 73, and the second rotor is transmitted from the transmission shaft. Power is transmitted to the second drive shaft 70b to which 27b is fixed. Further, power is transmitted to the transmission shaft arranged in the right transmission case 73 via a bevel gear provided at the right end of the second drive shaft 70b, and the right first rotor 27a is fixed from the transmission shaft. Power is transmitted to the first drive shaft 70a.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a pair of transmission cases in which the left and right first rotors 27a and the central second rotor 27b are offset from each other and extend in the front-rear direction between the first and second rotors 27a and 27b. 73 and 73 are arranged, and the transmission cases 73 and 73 are arranged in an inclined manner in the front-and-rear direction in the plan view of the body. The pair of transmission cases 73 and 73 are configured such that the width on the front side of the pair of transmission cases 73 is smaller than the width on the rear side in plan view.

  A second rotor 27b is disposed on the front side of the pair of transmission cases 73, 73 on the left and right inner sides of the cases 73, 73, and on the rear part of the pair of transmission cases 73, 73, on the outside of the cases 73, 73. The first rotors 27a and 27a are respectively arranged.

Therefore, the rotor 27 is arranged evenly over the entire width in the left-right direction of the planting position of the rice transplanter 1 and thus the rice transplanter 1, and the leveling width of the field is widened, and the leveling performance can be improved.
Maintenance is facilitated by disposing the rotor transmission case 19 incorporating the rotor transmission B on the front side of the rear wheel 11 as shown in FIG.

  Further, if the cover 19 covering the rotor transmission B is further covered to the front side of the gear case 18 of the rear wheel 11, the cover 19 can be easily removed and maintenance up to the gear case 18 can be easily performed during adjustment.

  FIG. 11 shows the rotor transmission device B. The rotor transmission device B has a built-in mechanism for shifting the power transmitted from the gear case 18 for driving the rear wheels 11 in two stages and outputting it to the rotor 27.

  In the configuration of the present embodiment, the rotational speed of the rotor 27 (a combination of the first rotor 27a and the second rotor 27b) can be switched between two stages of low speed and high speed. For this purpose, a rotor transmission device B is disclosed in which the rotation speed of the first rotor 27a and the second rotor 27b can be switched between a low speed and a high speed in a rotor transmission case 19 connected to the rear wheel gear case 18. Yes.

The block diagram of the two-stage switching clutch mechanism of the rotor 27 is shown in a plan developed sectional view (FIG. 11 (a)) and a front view (FIG. 11 (b)) viewed from the arrow S direction in FIG. 11 (a).
In the rotor transmission case 19, the power input shaft 64 from the rear wheel gear case 18, the rotor shaft 69 disposed in parallel with the input shaft 64, and a pair of low speed gears fixed to the input shaft 64 and the rotor shaft 69, respectively. The sprockets 83 and 85, the high-speed sprockets 86 and 87, the low-speed sprockets 83 and 85, the chains 89 and 90 spanned between the high-speed sprockets 86 and 87, and the low-speed sprocket fixed to the rotor shaft 69, respectively. A moving clutch body 91 loosely fitted on the axis of the rotor shaft 69 between the sprocket 85 and the high-speed sprocket 87 and a shifter 92 that is always locked to the clutch body 91 are mounted. The claws 91a and 91b are provided on both side surfaces of the clutch body 91, and the claws 85 and 87a are provided on the side surfaces of the rotor shaft 69 facing the clutch body 91 of the low speed sprocket 85 and the high speed sprocket 87, respectively. The claws 91a and 91b on both sides of the body 91 can be locked with the claws 85a and 87a of the low speed sprocket 85 and the high speed sprocket 87, respectively.

The rotor shaft 69 is connected to a universal joint 72 (FIG. 8), and the rotor 27 is driven via the universal joint 72.
The shifter 92 is disposed at a position parallel to the rotor shaft 69 at a position adjacent to the rotor shaft 69, and is not always locked with the low speed sprocket 85 and the high speed sprocket 87 of the shifter 92 by the compression spring 93 wound around the shifter 92. It is urged to be held in.

  A shifter operating arm 95 that is rotatably supported by a rotation fulcrum provided on a cover 102 fixed to the rotor transmission case 19 is attached to a position facing a shifter 92 that protrudes outside the rotor transmission case 19. . One end of the shifter operating arm 95 is locked to a shifter 92 extending to the outside of the rotor transmission case 19. The shifter operation arm 95 is configured to be able to slide the shifter 92 against the urging force of the spring 93 attached to the shifter 92.

  An inner wire 96a of a high-speed operation cable 96 is connected to one side of the rotation fulcrum 95a of the operation arm 95 for operating the shifter 92, and a low-speed operation cable 97 is connected to the other side of the rotation fulcrum 95a. The inner wire 97b is connected. The outer 96b of the high-speed operation cable 96 and the outer 97b of the low-speed operation cable 97 are attached to an attachment arm 99 that can be moved by rotation around the attachment rotation fulcrum 99a. An outer arm 100b of a drive on / off operation cable 100 for turning on / off the rotor is attached to the mounting arm 99, and the inner wire 100a of the drive on / off operation cable 100 is connected so as not to move to the fixing member 101 on the machine body side. To do.

  The operation of the drive on / off operation cable 100 is performed by operating the rotor height adjusting lever 106 and pulling the other end of the inner wire 100a whose one end is fixed to the fuselage to the outer 100b. The wire 100b moves in the direction of arrow C (FIG. 11A), and the mounting arm 99 interlocked with this movement rotates in the direction of arrow D in FIG. In addition, the inner wire 97b of the low-speed operation cable 97 is loosened, and the clutch body 91 is moved to the neutral position where the rotor is not driven by the spring 93 of the shifter operation arm 95.

  FIG. 12 shows a side view of the raising and lowering links 40 and 41 of the seedling planting part 4 and the vicinity of the rear wheel gear case 18. The upper link 40 and the lower link 41 for moving the raising and lowering link interlocking arm 108 up the seedling planting part 4. 12 (lower link 41 in the example shown in FIG. 12), when the raising / lowering switch (not shown) of the seedling planting section 4 is raised, the raising / lowering links 40, 41 are raised, and this rise Similarly to the operation of the rotor height adjusting lever 106 in conjunction with the operation, the lift link interlocking arm 108 is operated to pull the operation cable 100 for driving on / off, and the outer wire 100b of the operation cable 100 for driving on / off. Moves in the direction of arrow C (FIG. 11 (a)), and the mounting arm 99 interlocking with this movement rotates in the direction of arrow D in FIG. 11 (b), so that the inner wire 96a of the high-speed operation cable 96 and Slack inner wire 97b of the medium speed control cable 97, moves to the neutral position clutch 91 is not driven rotor by the spring 93 of the shifter operating arm 95. When the seedling planting part 4 is raised in this way, it can be prevented that the rotor 27 is erroneously operated while being set at the high speed or low speed position.

The driving on / off operation cable 100 is branched into two at a branching portion 116 in the middle so as to be connected to the rotor height adjusting lever 106 and the lift link interlocking arm 108.
Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a rotor speed change lever 105, which is a rotor speed change operation device for operating the high speed operation cable 96 and the low speed operation cable 97, is disposed near the control seat 31. Accordingly, when the rotor speed change lever 105 is switched to the high speed side or the low speed side, the inner 96a or the inner 97a of the high speed operation cable 96 or the low speed operation cable 97 connected to the lever 105 is pulled, and the shifter operation arm 95 moves. The shifter 92 interlocked with the movement of the shifter operating arm 95 operates the high speed side sprocket 87 or the low speed side sprocket 85 to rotate the rotor shaft at high speed or low speed, and the first rotor 27a and the second rotor 27b are at high speed or It will rotate at a low speed.

  In order to eliminate malfunction caused by mud adhering to the shifter 92 portion of the rotor transmission B, the shifter operating arm 95, the inner wires 96a, 97a, 100a of the cables 96, 97, 100, the mounting arm 99, and the fixing A cover 102 is provided to cover the member 101, and the cover 102 is also used as a shaft bearing of the rotation fulcrum 95 a of the operation arm 95 of the shifter 92 and a shaft of the mounting arm 99.

  Further, in the configuration in which the rotor 27 automatically returns to the rotation stop position (neutral position) when the seedling planting section 4 is raised as described above, the seedling planting section 4 has a structure as shown in FIG. When raised, the rotor speed change lever 105 automatically returns to the position where the rotor speed change device B is automatically moved from the high speed side to the low speed side. Even if the rotor speed change lever 105 moves to the low speed position when the seedling planting part 4 is raised, as described above, the high speed operation cable is provided by the mounting arm 99 interlocked with the operation of the drive on / off operation cable 100. Since the inner wire 96a of the 96 and the inner wire 97b of the low speed operation cable 97 are slack, the clutch body 91 is held at the neutral position where the rotor 27 is not driven by the spring 93 of the shifter operation arm 95.

Further, by setting the heel clutch 130 to “ON” while the seedling planting unit 4 is moving up, it is possible to prevent a problem of forgetting to set the heel clutch 130 to “ON” when planting seedlings for the next section.
That is, when the working machine in the field comes to the edge of planting seedlings for one line, the paddle clutch 130 is turned off and the field is turned. And when turning is finished, it is easy to forget to turn the heel clutch 130 “on” when planting the seedlings of the next section by dropping the seedling planting unit 4 to the field, and work without planting the seedlings as they are There is a risk of moving the aircraft forward. Therefore, when the seedling planting part 4 is raised, the hook clutch 130 is set to “ON”.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, when the seedling planting portion 4 is raised, the cable 110 pulled by the lifting link interlocking arm 108 operates the heel clutch (planting unit clutch) lever 14 to “engage” the heel clutch 130. Put it in a state.

  Even if the heel clutch 130 is “engaged” when the seedling planting part 4 is lifted, power is not transmitted from the seedling planting gear case 25 to the seedling planting part when the seedling planting part 4 is lifted. The planting part 4 does not operate.

  The rotor transmission device B can switch the rotational speed of the rotor 27 between a high speed state and a low speed state, but maintains the clutch body 91 of the rotor transmission device B in a neutral state where the high speed sprocket and the low speed sprocket are not engaged. This is possible, and there is no need to provide a separate clutch mechanism.

  In the conventional rotor 27, the rotation speed of the rotor 27 is constant at about 1.7 times the peripheral speed of the rear wheel 11, and the rotation ratio is set so that the seedling planting speed is maximized. However, since it is set so that there is no influence of water pushing or mud pushing on the adjacent strip, when running on a field scene with many irregularities at low speed by leveling treatment of the field of the rotor 27 on the headland In some cases, sufficient leveling could not be obtained.

  Therefore, the rotation speed of the rotor 27 shown in FIG. 11 can be switched between high speed and low speed so that the field leveling process can be effectively performed. FIG. 13 shows the rotation of the rotor 27 of the rotor transmission device. A configuration is shown in which the electric motor 113 switches between high speed and low speed.

  The configuration shown in FIG. 13 is a configuration for operating the shifter operation arm 95 using an electric motor 113 instead of the cables 96, 97, and 100 shown in FIG. 11, and is fixed to a rotating shaft operated by the electric motor 113. The rotating arm 118 and a spring 117 having one end engaged with each other on the opposite sides of the rotating shaft are arranged, and the other end of the spring 117 is engaged with the shifter operating arm 95.

  In this case, when the saddle clutch lever sensor 159 detects that the saddle clutch 130 is “disengaged”, it is determined that the headland is being processed. When the saddle clutch 130 is “disengaged”, the control device 200 causes the motor 113 to operate. When the rotor 27 is operated, the rotor 27 is rotated at a high speed to quickly correct the roughness of the field. When the paddle clutch is “on”, the electric motor 113 quickly switches to a low speed rotation.

The second rotor 27 b is suspended by a pair of link members 76 and 77 whose upper ends are supported by the beam member 66 via a spring 78.
The pair of link members 76, 77 includes a first link member 76 whose one end is fixedly supported by the beam member 66 and a second link member 77 whose one end is rotatably connected to the other end of the first link 76. Thus, the spring 78 is connected between the other end of the second link member 77 and a mounting piece 74 a rotatably supported by the reinforcing member 74.

  A bent piece 82 is fixed to the lower end of the rotor vertical position adjusting lever 81, and the bent piece 82 is rotatably supported by the support frame 65. When the lever 81 is rotated in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the lever 81 is bent near the protrusion 66a fixedly supported by the beam member 66 that is rotatably supported by the side members 65b of the support frame 65. The piece 82 rotates up and down. Since the bent piece 82 is locked below the protrusion 66a, the protrusion 66a rotates the lever 81 in the right direction of the machine body (in the direction of arrow S in FIG. 9), and the beam member 66 is centered upward. As a result of the rotation of the protrusion 66a, the end of the first link member 76 opposite to the connecting portion with the beam member 66 also rotates upward about the beam member 66. By rotating the first link member 76 upward, the second rotor 27b can be raised upward via the second link member 77 and the spring 78. When the second rotor 27b is moved upward, the first rotor 27a is also simultaneously moved upward via the second drive shaft 70b and the first drive shaft 70a.

Since the rotor vertical position adjusting lever 81 is provided at substantially the center of the vehicle body 2, it is easy to balance left and right when the first rotors 27a and 27b are moved up and down.
A rotor housing lever 84 that also serves as a clutch lever is fixed to the beam member 66. When the lever 84 is rotated in the direction of arrow T (FIG. 8), the support arm 67 is interlocked with the rotation of the beam member 66. Also rotates in the direction of arrow T. Since the rotor support frame 68 is moved upward by the rotation of the support arm 67 in the direction of the arrow T, the first and second rotors 27a and 27b are stored at the storage position, that is, on the back side of the seedling stage 51. Can be moved.

  In this embodiment, the rotors 27a and 27b, which are at a height of 45 mm from the farm scene at the low speed position of the rotor vertical position adjusting lever 81, can be raised up to 15 mm from the low speed position by turning in the direction of arrow S in FIG. It is set so that it can be lowered by a maximum of 15 mm from the low speed position by turning in the direction opposite to the arrow S direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a rotor cover 37 (first rotor cover 37a, first rotor cover 37b) is provided on the upper rear side of the rotor 27 so that mud is not applied to the floats 55, 56.

  As a configuration for rotating the beam member 66, a configuration is used in which the beam member 66 is rotated by an electric motor provided at one end of the beam member 66 instead of the protrusion 66 a, the bent piece 82, and the rotor vertical position adjusting lever 81. Also good.

  The above-mentioned spare seedling device is composed of three spare seedling devices that connect the movable spare seedling devices 38a and 38c before and after the fixed fixed seedling device 38b in the center. The front and rear movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c are each configured in a plurality of stages consisting of upper and lower three stages, and the lowermost preliminary seedling stage among the front movable preliminary seedling stands 38a is connected to the front side of the fixed preliminary seedling stand 38b. The uppermost standby seedling stand among the movable movable seedling stands 38c on the rear side can be configured to be connected to the rear side of the fixed spare seedling stand 38b. Therefore, when the front and rear movable spare seedling stands 38a and 38c are arranged above and below the fixed spare seedling stand 38b by the rotation of the movement links 39a, 39b and 39c, the front and rear left and right positions of the spare seedling stands coincide with each other. It becomes a 7-stage reserve seedling stand. In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the above-mentioned preliminary seedling stand apparatus, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Thereby, when replenishing seedlings from the heel in front of the aircraft to the spare seedling device, the worker in the heel is connected according to the progress of the seedling replenishment work to the seedling planting unit 4 by the worker boarding the aircraft. If the full state of the seedlings on the spare seedling stand is not eliminated, seedlings can be replenished to a seedling stand that is not connected to the fixed spare seedling stand 38b among the movable spare seedling stands 38a on the front side. In addition, when the seedling is replenished from the spare seedling device to the seedling planting unit 4, the operator boarding the aircraft is connected according to the progress of the seedling replenishment work to the spare seedling stand by the worker in the cage. If there are fewer seedlings on the spare seedling stand, seedlings can be supplied in advance to the seedling stand that is not connected to the fixed spare seedling stand 38b among the movable spare seedling stands 38a on the rear side. If the seedling stage 51 is filled with seedlings, the seedlings can be replenished to a seedling stand that is not connected to the fixed spare seedling stand 38b in the rear movable spare seedling stand 38a. Therefore, there is a margin in the seedling replenishment work for both the worker in the cage and the worker on the aircraft, and the seedling replenishment workability is improved. In addition, when there is an obstacle on the heel and the movable spare seedling table 38a cannot be moved to the front side, the seedling replenishing operation may be performed with the spare seedling table placed in the up-and-down arrangement state. Since there are multiple stages, there is room for seedling replenishment work for both the worker in the cage and the worker on the aircraft, and the seedling replenishment workability is improved.

  In addition, although the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c have three upper and lower stages, they may have a plurality of stages including two upper and lower stages. In addition, only one of the front and rear movable spare seedling stands 38a and 38c among the front and rear movable spare seedling stands 38a and 38c may be configured in a plurality of stages, and the front and rear other movable standby seedling stands 38a and 38c may be configured in one stage. .

  An empty seedling tray accommodating portion 38d that accommodates an empty seedling tray after taking out the seedling can be provided below the rear movable spare seedling stand 38c. Thereby, in the connected state of the spare seedling stand, the empty seedling tray is accommodated in the empty seedling tray accommodating portion 38d at the rear end of the preliminary seedling stand that is connected to the front and back, and the spare seedling stand is switched to the vertically arranged state. Thus, the empty seedling tray accommodating portion 38d can be moved to the front side (the heel side), and the empty seedling tray can be easily collected without interfering with the seedling replenishment operation. In addition, if the empty seedling tray accommodating portion 38d is configured to be detachable from the rear movable preliminary seedling stand 38c, the empty seedling tray can be collected more easily. As described above, in the case where the movable movable seedling table 38c on the rear side has a plurality of upper and lower stages, a seedling table other than the uppermost stage of the movable preliminary seedling table 38c may be used as the empty seedling tray accommodating portion 38d.

  In addition, the above-described preliminary seedling device is configured such that the movement links 39a, 39b, and 39c are arranged only on one side that is the inner side in the left-right direction of the machine body with respect to the preliminary seedling table. Can also be arranged on both sides of the spare seedling stand on both sides of the aircraft. Thereby, when the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c are arranged in a plurality of stages, the supporting strength of the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c can be improved corresponding to the large weight of the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c. In particular, when only the movable spare seedling stands 38a and 38c on one side of the front and back are arranged in a plurality of upper and lower stages, only the moving links of the portions that support the movable spare seedling stands 38a and 38c are arranged on both sides of the spare seedling stand. For example, since the moving link is not arranged on one side of the spare seedling stand on the side of the one-stage movable seedling stand 38a, 38c, the moving link is not obstructed from one side of the spare seedling stand. It can be easily taken in and out, and seedling replenishment workability can be improved. The second moving link member 39b on the outer side of the machine body is provided only at a portion between the movable spare seedling table 38a and the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b on the front and rear one side (front side).

  Further, the roller 200 is provided at the tip of a movable stopper such as the third, second, fourth, and fifth stoppers 47c, 47b, 47d, and 47e. Accordingly, when the movable seedling stands 38a and 38c are moved by the rotation of the movement links 39a, 39b and 39c and the spare seedling stands are switched between the vertically arranged state and the connected state, While contacting the roller 200 of the movable stopper that rotates the seedling tray at the end, it can be well guided to the spare seedling table by the movable stopper. If there is no roller 200, the seedling tray at the end of the preliminary seedling stand that becomes the connection position will be caught by the movable stopper that rotates, and the seedling tray will remain on the movable stopper in the vertically arranged state, There is a possibility that the seedling tray may be damaged, or in some cases, the seedling tray may fall off from the spare seedling stand.

  In the above description, the movable stopper is rotated and moved in and out. However, the movable stopper may be moved in a direction perpendicular to the spare seedling stand (vertical direction) along a linear movement locus to move in and out. it can. A specific structure will be described. A pinion gear 201 that rotates integrally with the moving link is provided near the movable stopper of each preliminary seedling stand, and a rack gear 202 provided in the movable stopper meshes with the pinion gear, so that the moving link to switch the preliminary seedling stand to the vertically arranged state. When 39a, 39b, and 39c are rotated, the movable stopper protrudes upward through the rack gear 202 by the rotation of the pinion gear 201, and when the movement links 39a, 39b, and 39c are rotated to switch the standby seedling table to the connected state, the pinion gear is rotated. With the rotation of 201, the movable stopper is retracted downward via the rack gear 202. As a result, the movable stopper moves linearly in the vertical direction, so that the seedling tray may remain on the movable stopper in a vertically arranged state due to the movement of the movable stopper, or the seedling tray may be damaged. It is possible to prevent the seedling tray from falling off the spare seedling stand.

  Further, when the movable stopper is linked to the rotation lock lever 73b via a dedicated movable stopper operation wire (movable stopper linkage mechanism), and the rotation lock lever 73b is switched to the lock position where the reserve seedling table is vertically arranged. When the movable stopper protrudes and the rotation lock lever 73b is switched to the release position for releasing the lock, the movable stopper can be retracted. Thereby, the movable stopper can be put in and out with the preliminary seedling stand arranged vertically, and the movable stopper does not operate when the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c are moved. Therefore, it is compatible with the movement of the movable preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38c. Thus, it is possible to prevent the seedling tray from falling off the spare seedling table by operating the movable stopper.

  In addition, in the connected state of the preliminary seedling stand, the upper surface of the link portion of the first moving link member 39a contacts the lower surface of the link portion of the second moving link member 39b, and the upper surface of the link portion of the second moving link member 39b is the first one. It can be set as the structure which maintains the connection state of a preliminary | backup seedling stand by contacting the lower surface of the link part of 3 moving link member 39c, and moving links 39a, 39b, 39c mutually contacting. As a result, the structure becomes simple and the support strength in the connected state of the spare seedling stand can be improved, and a holding member for holding the moving links 39a, 39b, 39c in the connected state of the spare seedling stand can be provided. Since there is no need to provide it in the vicinity of the moving link, the holding member does not interfere with the supply of seedlings from the side of the spare seedling stand to the spare seedling stand, and the seedling is taken out from the spare seedling stand to the side. This improves seedling replenishment workability.

  In addition, since the preliminary seedling device is configured to be rotatable about the vertical rotation shaft 49a, the preliminary seedling device is placed in the vertical arrangement state and rotated by 180 degrees about the rotational shaft 49a. By switching the stand to the connected state, the direction of the reserve seedling stand can be reversed. Accordingly, the movable spare seedling table 38a positioned above the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b in the vertically arranged state is connected to the rear side of the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b in the connected state. Therefore, when supplying fertilizer to the fertilizer application device 5, a fertilizer container for storing fertilizer such as a fertilizer bag is placed on the uppermost movable spare seedling stand 38a from the heel in front of the machine body in a vertically arranged state of the spare seedling stand. By switching the stand to the connected state, the fertilizer container can be moved to the rear side together with the uppermost movable spare seedling stand 38a, and the fertilizer supply work can be easily performed. At this time, when the spare seedling stand is switched from the vertically arranged state to the connected state, the uppermost movable spare seedling stand 38a can be moved to the rear side while being moved downward by its own weight of the fertilizer container. Switching from a state to a connected state can be performed easily. In addition, fertilizer supply to the fertilizer hopper 60 that is long on the left and right of the fertilizer application device 5 is performed by placing a fertilizer container on the rearmost part of the standby seedling stand that is long in the front and rear, and turning the spare seedling stand to the left and right around the rotation shaft 49a. It can be done easily while moving the fertilizer container left and right.

  In addition, a seedling tray collection rail 203 can be provided on the side of each preliminary seedling stand, which has a forward downward posture with respect to the front and rear tilt posture of the preliminary seedling stand. The seedling tray collection rail 203 is connected to each other by switching the spare seedling stand to the connected state, and is arranged on a straight line that is long in the front and back direction and in a forward downward posture. Therefore, the seedling is taken out from the seedling tray of the movable movable seedling stand 38c on the rear side which is the rear end portion of the connected standby seedling device, and is replenished to the seedling mounting stage 51 of the seedling planting unit 4, but the seedling is taken out. The rear empty seedling tray is placed on the rear end portion of the seedling tray recovery rail 203 arranged in a straight line so that the short side direction is directed up and down, and is moved to the front side through the seedling tray recovery rail 203. It can be collected in the front cocoon and the seedling replenishment workability can be improved.

  In addition, the preliminary seedling stand is provided with a seedling loading roller 204 serving as a mounting surface on which a seedling tray is placed.

  Further, the transfer roller 207 can be provided on movable stoppers such as the third, second, fourth, and fifth stoppers 47c, 47b, 47d, and 47e. The transfer roller 207 is positioned on the opposite side of the movable stopper fulcrum shaft 208 from the stopper acting portion, and retracts downward when the movable stopper is in the actuated state (protruding state), and the movable stopper is not actuated. In the state (retreat state), it protrudes upward and becomes the same height as the seedling placing roller 204 of the preliminary seedling stand, and is configured to guide the seedling tray moving between the spare seedling stands. Thereby, a seedling tray can be smoothly moved between reserve seedling stands.

  In addition, a weight is attached to the front movable spare seedling stand 38a which becomes the uppermost movable spare seedling stand 38a in the vertically arranged state, so that the standby seedling stand can be easily switched from the vertically arranged state to the connected state. The weight is positioned closer to the front side of the airframe, so that the front-rear weight balance of the airframe can be improved. In addition, it is desirable to provide the weight at the front part of the movable spare seedling stand.

  Further, the vertical positions of the rotation shafts that are the connecting shafts of the movement links 39a, 39b, and 39c can be arranged to be different from each other in the vertical direction. That is, in the vertically arranged state, the rear rotation shaft 38a2 connected to the movable spare seedling table 38a located above the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b is positioned on the opposite side (upper side) to the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b. Let In the moving link 39a that connects the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b and the movable preliminary seedling table 38a positioned above, the front rotation shaft 38b1 connected to the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b is connected to the movable preliminary seedling table 38a positioned above. Is located on the opposite side (lower side). In the moving link 39c that connects the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b and the movable preliminary seedling table 38a located below, the rear rotating shaft 38b3 connected to the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b is arranged below the movable preliminary seedling table 38a. Is located on the opposite side (upper side). The rotation shaft 38c1 on the front side connected to the movable preliminary seedling table 38c located below the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b is positioned on the opposite side (lower side) to the fixed preliminary seedling table 38b. Thereby, the link length of the moving links 39a, 39b, 39c can be increased while maintaining the vertical spacing of the spare seedling stands, and the movable spare seedling stands 38a, 38c due to exceeding the dead point of the moving links 39a, 39b, 39c. , And the switching between the up-and-down arrangement state and the connection state of the spare seedling stand can be easily performed.
