CONSTITUTION:The objective board can be obtained by providing many holes 4 each having such a size as to be penetrable for each seed on a board 3 made of synthetic resin or metal, having such a size as to be met with that of a seedling box and also having such a thickness as to be somewhat lower than the height of each seed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to improved sowing of seeds (hereinafter referred to as 1 seed) of grains such as rice, vegetables such as tomatoes and melons, flowers, trees, fruits, etc.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, seeds were sown in seedling boxes or in fields using a sowing machine, but sometimes seeds were sown by hand.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above method, the seeds are not evenly distributed and have large variations, so seedlings do not grow well in areas where the seeds are concentrated, requiring time for thinning and additional planting, and is expensive. There were problems such as a waste of seeds.

Therefore, we first applied for (seed placement material) in patent application Heisei 1-320055.
However, the present invention provides a seed placement plate that can more accurately and evenly arrange seeds, and also takes into consideration the fact that the seed placement material is a consumable item and should be provided to the market in large quantities at low cost. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for continuously manufacturing seed placement materials.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the seed arrangement plate of the present invention made of synthetic resin or metal is mainly sized to match the seedling box and has a thickness slightly lower than the height of one seed. It is a plate-like material with a large number of holes through which an appropriate number of seeds can pass through.There are 5 types of seeds, and the size and spacing of the holes are different depending on whether it is for seedling boxes or for direct sowing in fields. For seedling boxes, the holes should be small and densely spaced both vertically and horizontally, and for direct sowing, the spaces should be large both vertically and horizontally.

In addition, the latter continuous production device for seed placement materials uses a drum with a number of through holes at appropriate intervals on its circumferential surface through which an appropriate number of seeds can pass, and seeds are fed into the drum from a supply port provided on the side. While rotating the drum, the sticky side of a long water-soluble sheet coated with an adhesive material on one side was brought into contact with the bottom surface of the drum and transferred in the same direction as the rotational direction of the drum to adhere seeds to the sticky side. After that, the sheet is pasted together with a sheet-like fixing material such as water-soluble paper coated with an adhesive on one side, with the seeds in between. Or you can place it on the soil in the field.

It is even better if this seed placement material is colored black to absorb solar heat, or provided with a number of holes large enough to prevent a single seed from falling out to aid root implantation and germination.

(Operation) Place the former seed placement plate configured as described above on a water-soluble sheet coated with an adhesive material on the surface, and scatter the seeds over the sheet in a slightly large number of mouths, using the palm of your hand or a sponge. If you remove excess seeds by rolling the entire surface with a flexible material roller while pressing down slightly, then lift the seed placement plate, the seeds that have entered the holes will adhere to the adhesive material and the seeds will be distributed at the desired spacing. Seed placement materials are created, so those for seedling boxes can simply be placed in the seedling box, and those for direct sowing can be cut appropriately and placed on the soil in the field.
It is best to sprinkle water from above.

In the latter case, the long seed placement material that is produced by the continuous manufacturing device for seed placement materials is the size of a seedling box when used for seedling boxes for rice, tomatoes, melons, etc., or in the field when directly sown. All you have to do is cut it into lengths and widths that match the size of the tree and place it on the soil.

In addition, when placing the seeds in both the former and latter mentioned above,
Experiments have shown that giving slight vibrations to the seed placement plate or drum makes it easier to arrange seeds, and that vertical movement is particularly effective. In the latter case, the drum should be subjected to m vibrations.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described mainly using rice seeds as an example.

The seed placement plate 1 of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a plate-shaped main body 3 made of synthetic resin or metal, and having a thickness slightly thinner than the height of one seed 2, with many through holes 4 provided therein. in,
As shown in FIG. 3, one to three seeds 2 enter one hole 4.

Figures 4 and 5 show a planar circular hole 4 with a diameter of approximately 7 mm.
, one seed 2 will fit into one hole 4.

Figure 6 shows square holes 4 with a side length of approximately 8 mm, with large intervals in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
The seed placement material 7 shown in FIG. 7 obtained by placing a sheet 6 coated with adhesive material 5 on one side under the seed placement plate 1 is suitable for direct sowing. It is recommended that the perforation line 8 be provided in advance so as to be used by cutting it to an appropriate width.

``The latter continuous production device for seed placement material is shown in Figures 8 to 11.
As shown in the figure, a drum 10 is equipped with a number of through holes 9 at equal intervals on its circumferential surface through which 1 to 4 seeds can pass, and a supply vibrator 12 feeds seeds 2 into the drum through a supply port 11 provided on the side. The adhesive material 5 coated on one side of the water-soluble sheet 14, which is fed into the drum 10 and then rotated by the rotating shaft 13, is transferred under the drum 10 in the same direction as the rotational direction of the drum 10. After the seeds 2 that have fallen out of the through holes 9 are attached to the adhesive material 5 by contacting the lower surface thereof, the sheets 14 and
Seeds 2 are sandwiched between a tape-like fixing material 15 made of water-soluble paper or the like that is transferred in the same direction, and an adhesive 16 coated on one side is used to sandwich the seeds 2. .

1719 is a flexible material such as sponge or rubber, and 21 is a guide for the sheet 14.

Incidentally, the drum 10 is detachably attached at a mounting portion 22.

Figure 12 shows a drum 10 with holes 8 for sowing seeds, such as soybeans, at intervals of 20 to 30 cm.
Holes 9 through which ~3 grains can pass through at a time are provided at intervals of approximately 25 cm in the vertical direction and approximately 5 cm in the horizontal direction.
It is used in exchange for the drum 1o of the apparatus shown in FIGS.

(Effects) According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a seed placement material in which seeds of grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. are placed accurately at predetermined intervals, so there is no wastage of seeds, and the seeds are not eaten by birds. In addition, the placement materials can be colored black to help absorb sunlight, which can help seedlings grow. The apparatus of claim 2 has the advantage that it can be provided to the market in large quantities at low cost.
