Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to a winding device for winding a seedling raising mat for rice transplanters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, seedling raising mats mounted on rice transplanters are
It is formed as short as about 1 m. Then, about two seedling-growing mats each having a short length are vertically arranged on a seedling stand extending diagonally upward, and the seedling-growing mats are intermittently vertically fed downward to the seedling stand. A predetermined amount of the seedling-growing mat is cut from underneath with a planting claw to be planted on the soil surface.

[0003]

However, since the conventional seedling raising mat is as short as about 1 m in length, it cannot be wound on a winder together with the seedlings raised, and in a conventional rice transplanter. Since the seedling stand is formed to a length that can accommodate only two seedling raising mats per plant at most, when seedlings are planted on a wide soil surface, the seedling planting work must be interrupted. Since it was necessary to frequently carry out seedling splicing work above, efficient seedling planting work could not be performed.

[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a winding machine capable of easily winding a belt-shaped seedling raising mat together with the seedlings raised on the mat without sagging.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention according to claim 1 provides a rotatable winding wheel 1 and a winding wheel 1 as shown in FIG. The left and right support members 2 and 2 for supporting the vertical guide strips 3 and 3 for guiding the take-up wheel 1 so as to be vertically movable while allowing the take-up wheel 1 to rotate. Was set up.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in order to reduce the ground resistance of the belt-shaped seedling mat M so that it can be easily wound, as shown in FIG. A rotatable carrier wheel 6 for supporting the seedling mat M is provided.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the belt-shaped nursery mat M can be easily wound around the winding device side without being particularly attracted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. A transport conveyor 7 that forcibly laterally feeds the seedling-growing mat M is provided below.

[0008]

In the invention described in claim 1, the winding wheel 1
The strip-shaped seedling-growing mat M can be started to be wound with the vertical guide strips 3 and 3 positioned at the lower end side, and the winding wheel 1 is vertically guided with the increase in the winding diameter of the seedling-growing mat M. Since it can be moved upward along the strips 3 and 3, the seedling raising mat M is wound in a state in which the part of the seedling raising mat M entering the winding wheel 1 is in contact with the mat support surface. You can wear it. Therefore, it is possible to naturally prevent the winding wheel 1 from rotating in the direction opposite to the winding direction when the seedling-growing mat M is wound, and the seedling-growing mat M is easily wound together with the seedlings grown on the mat without slack. It is possible.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the belt-shaped seedling-growing mat M can be supported by the carrier wheel 6 and can be wound around the winding wheel 1 while rotating the carrier wheel 6, the seedling-raising mat M is not formed. The grounding resistance of the winding side portion can be reduced, and therefore the winding can be easily performed with a small winding force.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the belt-shaped seedling-growing mat M can be supported on the conveyer 7 and forcibly laterally fed by the conveyer 7, the belt-shaped seedling-raising mat M can be fed to the winding device. In particular, it is possible to wind the wire quickly and easily by utilizing the lateral feed force of the transfer conveyor 7 without further pulling.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The winding device A shown in FIGS.
Longer seedling mats compared to existing mats, eg 6
A belt-shaped seedling raising mat that is long to approximately m is wound, and a rotatable winding wheel 1 having a winding shaft 11 at the center,
It is composed of left and right support members 2 and 2 that support the respective ends of the winding wheel 1, and the winding shaft 11 is received in these supporting members 2 and 2 to allow the rotation of the winding wheel 1 and the winding operation. Longitudinal guide strips 3 and 3 formed of long holes for guiding the wheel 1 in a vertically movable manner are provided. The vertical guide strips 3 and 3 are long holes penetrating as in the embodiment, and are also provided in a recessed groove in which the support members 2 and 2 are recessed or projecting on the inner surface of the support members 2 and 2. It may be a groove between a pair of ridges.

The take-up wheel 1 is a winding cylinder 1 composed of a horizontally long drum.
2 and stays 13 and 1 provided inside each end of the winding drum 12.
3 and the take-up shaft 11 inserted and supported between the stays 13 and 13, and each end of the take-up shaft 11 is made to project outward with respect to the winding cylinder 12 and the vertical guide strip 3 is formed. , 3 is inserted.

The support members 2 and 2 are made of rectangular plates and receive the support members 2 and 2 near each end between the three corners except one lower corner of the support members 2 and 2. A connecting rod 4 having a receiving step and a wing nut 5 screwed to each end of the connecting rod 4 are connected so as to be separated from each other at predetermined spans on the left and right, and each supporting member 2 and 2 is connected. The vertical guide strips 3, 3 are provided downward from the central portion of the. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower ends of the vertical guide strips 3 and 3 have the winding wheel 1
When the seedling-raising mat M is started to be rolled, the seedling-raising mat M is set to a position in which it descends so as to come into contact with the ground.

The winding device A configured as described above winds the seedling-growing mat M around the winding wheel 1 together with the seedlings N grown on the seedling-growing mat M for hydroponics, which is a long strip and is mainly made of a non-woven fabric.

In this winding, as shown in FIG. 3, with the winding device A and the seedling raising mat M supported on the support surface, the seedling portion on one end side in the length direction of the seedling raising mat M is vertically guided. , 3
The outer peripheral surface of the winding drum 12 supported at the lower end of the
In this state, the winding wheel 1 is manually wound to be wound into a spiral shape. As the winding diameter of the seedling-growing mat M increases, the winding shaft 11 moves upward along the vertical guide strips 3, 3. It moves. Therefore, since it is possible to wind the seedling raising mat M into the winding drum 12 while always contacting the mat support surface, the take-up wheel 1 is opposite to the winding direction when the seedling raising mat M is wound. Therefore, the seedling-raising mat M can be easily wound around the seedling-growing mat M together with the seedling N grown on the mat without slack.

Moreover, when the seedling-raising mat M is wound, the seedlings at the end portions orthogonal to the winding direction of the seedling-raising mat M can be guided by the left and right support members 2 and 2 so that the seedlings can be expanded from the mat width. It can be prevented from protruding outside. Therefore, when it is mounted on the seedling stand of the rice transplanter and is fed vertically to the planting claw side, it can be fed vertically with little resistance from the seedlings. Further, since the left and right support members 2 and 2 are connected by the connecting rods 4 so that the space is not widened, the width dimension of the support members 2 and 2, and thus the width of the wound roll mat, is almost the same. It can be made even, and when it is mounted on the seedling stand of the rice transplanter and vertically fed to the planting claw side, it can be vertically fed with less resistance from the seedlings.

When the strip-shaped seedling-raising mat M is wound, the seedlings of the mat raised are rolled from the root toward the leaf tip side as shown in FIG. The seedlings on the winding end side in Fig. 4 project outwardly with respect to the mat edges as shown in Fig. 4. Therefore, the wound roll mat is mounted on the seedling table of the rice transplanter, the winding end side is pulled out near the planting claw below the seedling table, and a predetermined amount of the seedling raising mat M is cut off by the planting claw according to a standard method. When planting on the soil surface, there is a problem that the leaf tip side part of the seedling interferes and the seedling removal with the planting claw cannot be performed well.

Therefore, after the strip-shaped seedling mat M is once wound into a roll mat as described above (FIG. 4), the roll mat M is rewound from the winding end side as shown in FIG. . In this case, the seedlings N of the nursery mat M will be wound while being projected outward from the edge of the mat and falling from the leaf tips toward the root side, so that the winding end of the rewound roll mat is terminated. The seedlings on the side will not project outward with respect to the edge of the mat as shown in FIG. Therefore, by mounting the wound roll mat on the seedling stand of the rice transplanter,
When the end of winding is pulled out near the planting claw below the seedling stand, and a predetermined amount of the seedling raising mat M is cut off by the planting claw and planted on the soil surface, the planting claw can be used well. It is.

In the above embodiment, the winding device A and the seedling raising mat M are wound while being placed on the support surface, but in addition, as in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, A rotatable carrier wheel 6 for supporting the seedling raising mat M may be provided below the winding wheel 1, and further below the winding wheel 1 as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.
