Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a spare seedling stand in a transplanter for loading seedlings grown in a bendable flexible seedling box as spare seedlings in the seedling box.

A seedling box made of flexible material that can be bent freely becomes easily bent and deformed as the weight increases when it is filled with soil, making it extremely difficult to handle. It had the disadvantage of being complex and easily large.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a spare seedling stand for a transplanter that has an extremely simple structure and can stably support a seedling box.

That is, the present invention provides a spare seedling stand for a transplanter, characterized in that the upper periphery of the flexible seedling box is curved into an arched shape so that it can be inserted into the longitudinal groove provided at the center of the bottom of the flexible seedling box. The gist is structure.

Next, the present invention will be explained according to illustrated embodiments.
Reference numeral 1 denotes the body of a transplanting machine, which is configured to mount a seedling box a formed of a flexible material on a seedling platform 2, and to sequentially transplant the grown seedlings into the seedling box a.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the bottom of this seedling box a.
A vertical groove b is provided in the center. Reference numeral 3 denotes a spare seedling stand, which has a curved upper edge 4 having a width and length that can be inserted into the longitudinal groove b of the seedling box a, and is attached to the body 1 by an appropriate support 5. The upper edge 4 is formed into an arcuate shape with an appropriate curvature so that the seedling box a in which the seedlings are grown can be fitted into the vertical groove b on the bottom surface of the box and curved to support it in a well-balanced manner. Therefore, seedling box a
is tightly pressed against the arcuate upper edge 4 by its own weight, and is curved and supported in the vertical direction as shown in Figure 2, so that it is stable and does not roll not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction. Supported. In addition, the preliminary seedling stand 3 is preferably arranged so that the rear side is higher for the convenience of the operator. Although the forming method is arbitrary, for example, it is convenient to form a single pipe into a curve as shown in the illustrated example, and to form the pipe integrally with the support 5 disposed below the pipe, which is simple and advantageous. In addition, by bending the front end upward and providing a hook 6 to clamp the front edge of the seedling box a, it is possible to prevent the seedling box a from falling due to vibrations while the machine body 1 is running, and to ensure safety. It is.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the longitudinal groove b on the bottom of the spare seedling box a is fitted into the upper edge 4, the seedling box a curves in an arch shape along the upper edge 4 due to its own weight. and is supported stably and in a well-balanced manner. Since the seedling box a is prevented from curving in the other direction by the tension generated by being curved, it is safe without deformation even if the body 1 is driven as it is. In addition, in order to supply spare seedlings to the seedling stand 2 during work, move the seedling box a on the spare seedling stand 3 to the machine 1.
Since it can be easily removed by simply pulling it out from the rear, it can be placed on the seedling stand 2 and work can be continued.

As described above, the present invention has the practical benefit of allowing seedlings grown in a bendable seedling box to be stably loaded onto the aircraft as spare seedlings in the seedling box.

Furthermore, the present invention has the practical advantage of being able to extremely easily mount or remove the flexible seedling box in which the seedlings have been raised.
