(13), The air compressor (23), the vacuum pump (24), and the alarm buzzer (53) are connected to the above-mentioned control circuit (49) for output connection, and the trays by the conveyors (4), (7) and (9) are connected. It is configured to automatically perform a series of operations such as filling, seeding, and covering with soil by detecting the position of the tray (3) during conveyance in (3).

By the way, in this seeding plant, the plant body (54) is divided into a filling section (54a) and a seed covering soil section (54b), and electrical equipment and pneumatic pipelines can be separated and connected along the way, and cleaning is performed. The gun connection ports (55a) (55b) for connecting the air guns for each are provided in each part (54a) (54b) to facilitate the relocation and movement of this plant and the convenience of cleaning after the end of work. It is configured as shown.

The present embodiment is configured as described above, and its operation will be described below with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 6 to 8.

When the automatic button switch (50) is turned on, the driving of the conveyors (4), (7) and (9) is started by the motors (19), (25) and (40) to start the tray (3). When the tray (3) reaches the position of the first switch (42) and the switch (42) detects this, the motor (20) drives the tray (3) to the tray (3). While the soil filling is being performed, the filling soil surface is leveled by the brush (12), and the position of the jetting device (13) after the elapse of a certain time from the time when the switch (42) is turned on is changed to When the tray (3) is passing, pressurized air from the compressor (23) is jetted to the tray (3) to clean the gap between the upper end of the nursery box (2) and the upper end of the tray (3). The sensor (47) (4) The detection of the pot (3a) in 8) can be made reliable.

Further, while the tray (3) is passing the position of the irrigation device (14) after a lapse of a certain time of the timer after the switch (42) is turned on, the sprayed irrigation is performed on the surface of the filled soil so that the tray ( 3) reaches the switch (43) position, which is the feed end position of the conveyor (4), and the switch (43) is in the state where it is detected, and the switch (44) is off, and the tray of the previous conveyance to the seeder (8) position. When the seeding is completed without (3), the tray (3) is directly taken over by the seeding conveyor (7) and sent to the seeder (8), and the switch is turned on and the seeder (8) is turned on. ) Position, when there is the tray (3) for the previous transport, in the seeding work state, the drive of the filling conveyor (4) is stopped, the tray (3) is waited, and the work on the seeder (8) is completed. The tray (3) from the previous transport was swallowed. When it moves from the position of the switch (44), the conveyor (4) starts driving again to transfer the tray (3) to the seeding conveyor (7).

Then, every time the tray (3) is conveyed to the pressure suppression switch (47) and the switch (47) detects each pot (3a) of the tray (3), a depression for seeding is formed on the soil surface. The squeezing work for forming (A) is performed by the elevating operation of the squeeze body (26), and the tray (3) is conveyed to the seeding switch (48), and the switch (48) is moved to the tray (3). When seeds are sown in each pot (3a), one seeding cycle (C) as shown in the program of FIG. 9 and the seed adsorption step are sequentially performed for each pot (3a). Is.

That is, when the seeding of the 1-pitch pot (3a) is finished at the position of the sowing switch (48), the tray (3) is driven by the driving of the seeding conveyor (7) and the seeds by the operation of the nozzle (30). The adsorption process is performed in parallel at the same time, and when the switch (48) detects the pot (3a) of the next pitch, the seed adsorption process in the nozzle (30) is terminated in accordance with the stop of the conveyance of the tray (3). The seed (B) is released by this method, and the work required for this 1 cycle (C) of sowing is compared with the case where the transfer process of the tray (3) and the adsorption process of the seed (B) are performed separately. The time can be greatly shortened. In this case, in the case of seeding two seeds, one cycle (C) of seed adsorption and release step is performed twice.

The seeding work for the pots (3a) for each pitch is completed, the tray (3) is inherited by the soil cover conveyor (9), and the tray (3) is transported to the soil cover (10) position. When the switch (45) detects that the soil has been sown, the soil surface after seeding is sequentially covered with soil, and then the tray (3) is transported to the irrigation device (38). When a switch (46) detects that the tray (3) has been transported to the end of the conveyor (9) after spraying water on the soil cover surface for a certain period of time, the drive of the conveyor (9) is stopped. At the same time, the alarm buzzer (53) is activated after a certain period of time to notify the operator.

Further, when the cycle switch (51) is turned on as shown in FIG. 7 except during such automatic control, only one cycle (C) step of seeding as described above can be performed. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the adsorption of the seed to the nozzle (30) and the advance confirmation such as adjusting the height of the nozzle (30), and it is possible to perform efficient work without losing the seed (B).

Further, when the cycle switch (51) is turned off during the automatic control, as shown in FIG. 8, the seeding cycle (C) step is temporarily stopped so that the seeding can be easily confirmed during this work. It can be done.
