Abstract

PURPOSE:To smoothly feed tape seedlings to planting mechanism without causing collapse of shape by equipping a storage part with a storing case and stocking a series of tape seedlings folded zigzag. CONSTITUTION:A planting device of tape seedling consists of a storage part 2A to stock a series of tape seedlings 1 and planting mechanism 2B to extract a rush seedling bundle A from the tape seedlings 1 send from the storage part 2A and to plant the bundle on a paddy field. A series of the tape seedling 1 is zigzag folded in the storage case 3. Part of the rush seedling bundle A floated from a first tape 5 by a ring shaped member 14 is caught by a revolving pawl member 16, seedlings are peeled one by one, the peeled rush seedling bundle A is dropped and guided to the paddy field by a guide member 17. Since the tape seedlings are zigzag folded, the tape seedlings will not cause collapse of shape and can be smoothly fed to the transplanting mechanism.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a storage section for storing a series of tape seedlings in which crop seedlings are supported at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the tape;
The present invention relates to a tape seedling planting device that includes a planting mechanism that individually separates crop seedlings from the tape seedlings fed out from the storage section and sequentially plants the separated crop seedlings.

[Conventional technology]

In this kind of tape seedling planting device, tape seedlings wrapped in a roll are set on the rotating shaft of the storage section, and when the planting mechanism is activated, the rolled tape seedlings rotate freely and sequentially seed the tape seedlings. It is designed to be rolled out.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

This method of feeding tape seedlings to the planting mechanism is as follows:
First, you will need tape seedlings wrapped in a roll. However, with such tape seedlings, especially in the case of crop seedlings such as rushes, where the root side is thicker than the tip side, the root side becomes bulkier than the tip side as it is rolled up into a roll. It is in a stable condition. Therefore, when the tape seedlings are fed out, they may lose their shape and become entangled with the surroundings, which may hinder the feeding process. Moreover, there was a problem in that the tape seedlings being fed out had to be pulled with a constant force so that the rolled tape seedlings continued to rotate at an appropriate speed.

Taking note of the drawbacks of such tape seedlings wound into a roll, the present invention aims to enable tape seedlings in a storage section to be easily and smoothly supplied to a planting mechanism.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the tape seedling planting device according to the present invention includes a storage case in the storage section, and stores a series of tape seedlings folded in a meandering shape in the storage case.

[For production]

When the planting mechanism operates, a series of tape seedlings folded into a zigzag pattern are unwound one after another from the storage case, starting from the top.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the tape seedlings are folded in a zigzag shape, they do not lose their shape, and the tape seedlings can be smoothly supplied to the planting mechanism. Furthermore, a rotating shaft for the storage section is no longer necessary. Furthermore, compared to tape seedlings wound in a roll, the force required to pull the tape seedlings is much smaller.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Shown in FIG. 1 is a tape seedling planting device configured for two-row planting. This tape seedling planting device is used by attaching it to the rear of the working machine, and it is used to plant a series of tape seedlings (1).
There is a storage section (28) for storing the , and this storage section (28).
It consists of a planting mechanism (2B) that takes out bundles of strawberry seedlings (A) from tape seedlings (1) that are fed out from the tape and plants them on the rice field.

In the storage section (2A), an elongated storage case (3) is provided with its rear end hanging. Inside this storage case (3), a series of tape seedlings (1) are folded into a zigzag shape. To make the storage case (3) durable, a biasing mechanism (11) is provided to lightly press the top of the tape seedling (1) and maintain the folded state. Tape seedlings (1) are made by combining a first tape (5) coated with adhesive on one side with a second transparent tape (5).
6) and pasted together with strawberry seedling bundles (A) sandwiched at predetermined intervals.

The planting mechanism (2B) includes a feeding roller (7) for feeding out the tape seedlings (A) from the storage section (2A), and a feeding roller (7) for feeding the tape seedlings (A) into a first tape book 5) and a second tape (5). 6) A pair of upper and lower rolls that separate into (8) and (9).
It is equipped with Also, a rotating claw mechanism (10) that peels off the rush seedling bundle (A) from the separated first tape (5).
, a first winding roller (11) that winds up the separated first tape (5), and a second winding roller (12) that winds up the second tape (6). Further, the tape seedling (1) is placed on the top of the feeding roller (7).
) is provided with a tension roller (13) to prevent slipping. As shown in FIG. 2, an annular member (14) with a slightly larger diameter is fitted onto the base side of the upper roll (8) in order to promote the peeling of the rush seedling bundle (A).

The rotating claw mechanism (10) includes a disc member (
15), three claw members (16) are provided around the outer periphery at 120 degree intervals, and these claw members (16) are configured to protrude near the annular member (14). A groove-shaped guide member (17) is provided below the rotating claw mechanism (10) in a backward open state.

Then, the rotating claw member (
16) and peel them off one by one, and the peeled strawberry seedling bundle (A) is guided down to the rice field by a guide member (17).

As tape seedlings (1), in addition to those in which crop seedlings (^) are sandwiched between two tapes (5) and (6) as shown in the examples, crop seedlings (A) are sandwiched between two tapes (5) and (6). It is possible to use a tape in which tapes are attached and supported at predetermined intervals, or a tape in which crop seedlings (A) are sewn and supported at predetermined intervals on a single piece of tape.

Incidentally, although reference numerals are written in the claims section for convenient comparison with the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the structure shown in the accompanying drawings by the reference numerals.
