Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transplant soil supplying device for a pot for supplying soil to a pot for raising seedlings for transplanting seedlings such as vegetables (flowers, plants).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a method has been known in which soil is put in a flowerpot-shaped synthetic resin nursery pot, and vegetables such as eggplants and tomatoes and flower seedlings are transplanted and grown in the pot. Further, although not conventionally known, in the specification and drawings of Japanese Patent Application No. 4-357598 of the prior application, a core smaller than the pot is located on the inner central upper surface of the pot for raising seedlings, and the core is A structure in which soil is made to flow in through an inlet formed between the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the container and the inner peripheral surface of the pot, and then the core is removed to form a hollow recess for planting on the central upper surface of the soil. Is described.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned known transplantation method, a small amount of soil is put in a pot in advance, then the seedling is placed in the center with one hand, and in this state, the seedling is sown with the free hand. Since soil is introduced from between the outer circumference of the root and the inner circumference of the upper part of the pot, there is a problem that the work efficiency is extremely low and the soil cannot be supplied uniformly. In the case of the previous application, when the lid is lifted upward, a planting hole is formed after the core is removed, and a root pot of the seedling removed from the seedling raising pot may be planted in the planting hole. It is easy to do, but there is a problem that it is not easy to put soil in a small pot for raising seedlings. That is,
The size of the pot for transplanting should be changed for reasons such as considering the production efficiency to reduce the amount of soil to be put in the pot for raising seedlings and handling reasons such as not wanting the seedlings to be so large stock. There is a tendency to use one size larger than the pot used before transplantation, resulting in a significantly narrowed inlet between the upper outer peripheral surface of the core and the upper inner peripheral surface of the pot. , Soil may not enter the pot through the inlet 35,
There is a problem that it may not be possible to use a small bowl.

[0004]

It is an object of the present invention to reliably supply soil to a small pot for raising seedlings so that a planting hole can be formed beautifully.

[0005]

According to the present invention, therefore, a core 20 smaller than the pot 5 is located on the inner central upper surface of the pot 5 for raising seedlings, and the upper outer peripheral surface of the core 20 and the pot. 5, an inflow port 35 is formed between it and the inner peripheral surface of the upper part, and soil is allowed to flow in through the inflow port 35.
The shape of the upper outer peripheral surface of 0 is an upper tapered surface 23 having a smaller diameter toward the upper side, and the soil supply device for transplantation in a pot in which the area of the inflow port 35 is increased, and the core 20 are
This is a soil supply device for transplantation in a pot fixed to the lower surface of the strip bridge 19 in the center of the opening 18 formed in the flat plate lid 15.

[0006]

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawing. 1 is a synthetic resin seedling pot for growing seedlings of vegetables and flowers such as eggplant and tomato. A side wall 3 is provided around the bottom wall 2 having a substantially circular shape, and an upper end of the side wall 3 is opened to form an opening 4. When viewed from the front side, the width becomes wider toward the upper side. Shaped and formed with various heights or diameters from 6 cm to 30 cm.

Reference numeral 5 is a pot for raising seedlings for transplanting the seedlings 6 raised in the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1. Although there is no difference from the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1, for easy understanding. The description will be given under another name. Therefore, the seedling raising pot 5 has the same structure as the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1 described above, but of course has a large size. Further, the present invention is
Since the present invention relates to means for transplanting the seedlings 6 of the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1 into the seedling raising pot 5, the configurations of the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1 and the seedling raising pot 5 are not required.

Reference numeral 7 is a mounting frame for preventing the seedling raising pot 5 in a mounted state from falling, and when it is subjected to vibrations during handling such as during transportation or when supplied to a transfer conveyor. It suffices to prevent falling, and in the embodiment, the upper plate 8 made of synthetic resin is formed with the fitting support 9 having an arbitrary shape such as a basket shape.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a placing plate used when the placing frame 7 on which the seedling raising pots 5 are placed is supplied to a conveyor, and has a rectangular bottom plate 11 and a peripheral wall 12 around the bottom plate 11.
Is formed in a drawer shape having an open upper surface, and one or both left and right sides of the peripheral wall 12 are notched to form an opening 1
3 is formed. The mounting plate 10 is used when the mounting frame 7 cannot be directly supplied to the conveyor, and is not an essential requirement.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a flat plate lid which is placed above the seedling raising pot 5 to adjust the inflow amount of soil and which forms a planting hole 16 in the central upper surface of the soil supplied to the seedling raising pot 5. The opening portion 18 corresponding to the fitting support portion 9 of the mounting frame body 7 is arranged and formed on the flat plate portion 17 having a size corresponding to the outer diameter of the mounting frame body 7, and the opening is formed. A narrow strip-shaped bridge 19 is formed in the portion 18 in the diameter direction, and a core 20 for forming a hole is attached to the center of the lower surface of the strip-shaped bridge 19 with a screw 21.

Since the opening 18 has a smaller diameter than the opening 30 of the seedling raising bowl 5, it has a function of adjusting the amount of soil entering the seedling raising bowl 5. ,
Several kinds of the openings 18 having different sizes are prepared and appropriately selected and used.

The core 20 is a strip-shaped bridge 19 of the flat plate lid 15.
The upper end surface 22 is formed in a substantially horizontal plane so that the upper end surface 22 can be easily attached to the upper taper surface 23 below the upper end surface 22.
And a maximum diameter portion 24 is formed below the upper tapered surface 23 following the upper tapered surface 23.
A lower inclined surface 25 is formed below the maximum diameter portion 24 and has a smaller diameter toward the lower side, and the lower portion of the lower inclined surface 25 is formed on a substantially horizontal lower horizontal surface 26.

As the core 20, a core 20 smaller than the opening 30 of the bowl 5 is placed in a suspended state on the upper part of the pot 5 for raising seedlings. Soil is introduced from an inflow port 35 formed between the inner peripheral surface of the upper part, and the soil is solidified by inflowing it, and then the planting hole 16 for planting seedlings is formed in the center by pulling the soil upward.

Therefore, the synthetic resin nursery pot 1
The core 20 is formed so as to correspond to the shape of the planting hole 16 so that the planting hole 16 is formed corresponding to the shape of the seedling 6. The diameter of the maximum diameter portion 24 is made to correspond to the diameter of the synthetic resin seedling pot 1, and the lower inclined surface of the core 20 so that the root portion (when removed) can be fitted into the planting hole 16 in close contact. The inclination angle of 25 corresponds to the inclination of the side wall 3 of the synthetic resin nursery pot 1, and the lower horizontal surface 26 of the core 20 corresponds to the bottom wall 2 of the synthetic resin nursery pot 1. By changing the distance between the diameter portion 24 and the lower horizontal surface 26, the planting depth of the root of the seedling 6 can be changed. Therefore, in principle, the core 20 corresponds to the shape of the synthetic resin nursery pot 1. , So as to be compatible with various planting modes Prepared one formed in a shape,
These are appropriately selected and used.

In addition to the above conditions, the shape of the core 20 has an inclination angle such that soil falling from above does not stay on the upper taper surface 23 and can swing without resisting the soil flowing down. To form. Reference numeral 27 is a soil supplying device for supplying soil to the seedling raising pot 5, and 28 is a soil feeding belt of the soil supplying device 27.

[0016]

[Operation] Next, the operation will be described. The seedling raising pots 5 are placed on the respective fitting support portions 9 of either the placing frame 7 placed on the placing plate 10 or the individual placing frame 7 respectively. The flat plate lid 15 is placed from above on the upper surface of the seedling raising pot 5 so that the child 20 is located at the center of each seedling raising pot 5, and at least the placing frame 7 and the flat plate lid 15 in this state are Is fed to the conveyor of the soil feeding device (not shown), the soil fed from the feeding belt of the soil feeding device falls on the flat plate portion 17 of the flat plate lid 15, and the upper surface of the flat plate portion 17 is slid by a rotating brush or the like. When rubbed, the soil that has fallen is the opening 18 of the flat plate lid 15.
Enter the pot 5 for raising seedlings.

Depending on the size relationship between the opening 18 of the flat plate lid 15 and the opening 30 of the pot for raising seedlings 5, the soil supplied from above flows into the opening 18, so that it is not below the opening 18. The portion of is a space portion, and the inflow amount of soil is reduced by the volume of this space portion as compared with the case where the flat plate lid 15 is not used. Therefore, the flat plate lid 15 having a different diameter of the opening 18 is provided. By selectively using, it is possible to supply each seedling raising pot 5 with a desired depth and an equal amount of soil.

After the soil is supplied to the seedling raising pot 5, the soil in the seedling raising pot 5 is leveled by any means such as rocking the seedling raising pot 5 and the flat plate lid 15 is closed. When it is lifted upward, the planting hole 16 is formed after the core 20 is removed.

When the core 20 is selected and used according to the planting mode of transplantation such as the size and planting depth of the root pot 31 of the seedling 6, the seedlings left as they are from the synthetic resin nursery pot 1 are selected. It suffices if the root pot 31 of No. 6 is planted in the planting hole 16, and not only the work can be performed easily, but also the rooting becomes good.

In this case, the seedling raising pot 5 into which the seedlings 6 are transplanted has a reason for considering the production efficiency that the amount of soil to be put in the seedling raising pot 5 is small, and the seedlings 6 are made so large. For the reason of not wanting to handle the seedlings 6, there is a tendency that the size of the seedling raising pot 5 prepared for transplanting the seedlings 6 is larger than that of the synthetic resin seedling raising pot 1 by one. As a result, the inlet 35 formed between the upper outer peripheral surface of the core 20 and the upper inner peripheral surface of the bowl 5 is significantly narrowed. That is, the size of the core 20 is the root pot 31 of the seedling 6.
When the small seedling raising bowl 5 is used, the inlet 35 becomes narrower in proportion to the restriction due to the above.

According to the present invention, the core 20 has an upper tapered surface 23 in which the shape of the upper outer peripheral surface of the core 20 becomes smaller toward the upper side.
Since the area of the inflow port 35 is increased,
A large inflow port 35 flows in, and the soil is on the upper tapered surface 23.
While being guided by, enter the pot 5 for raising seedlings. Therefore, the seedlings 6 can be easily transplanted to the small pot 5 for raising seedlings.

[0022]

[Effect] According to the present invention, the core 20 smaller than the pot 5 is positioned on the upper center of the inner portion of the pot 5 for raising seedlings, and the upper outer peripheral surface of the core 20 and the upper inner peripheral surface of the pot 5 are provided. Inlet 35 between
In which the soil is made to flow in through the inflow port 35, the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the core 20 is an upper taper surface 23 having a smaller diameter toward the upper side, and the inflow port 3 is formed.
Since it is used as a soil supply device for transplantation in a pot with a large area 5, the soil can be supplied to the pot 5 for raising seedlings and the planting holes 16 on the supplied soil can be easily formed. Even if the core 20 is used, the inlet 35
Since the soil can be made large, the soil can smoothly enter the seedling raising pot 5, and the seedling 6 can be transplanted to the small seedling raising pot 5. According to the present invention, the core 20 has an opening 18 formed in the flat plate lid 15.
Since it is a soil supply device for transplantation in a pot fixed to the lower surface of the strip bridge 19 in the center, a proper amount of soil is supplied only by placing the flat plate lid 15 on the upper surface of the seedling raising pot 5. , It is possible to form planting holes and improve work performance rate.
