Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a seedling box storage device for a seedling transplanter, which stores seedling boxes to be supplied to the seedling planting device and empty boxes after the seedlings have been replenished. It is something to do.

The problem that the invention seeks to solve.

The seedling planting machine, which is equipped with a seedling planting device on the rear side of the running vehicle body, is placed on the side of the vehicle body to supply seedlings to this seedling vt position, and is used to supply seedlings during seedling planting work. However, the seedling storage frame that stores the seedlings for supply tends to get in the way of the operator of the vehicle when getting on and off the vehicle, and the seedling storage frame is also used for seedling planting equipment during seedling work. Similarly, if it is in the rear position, it is easy to lose the front-back balance while traveling, so it is necessary to move the seedling storage frame to the side of the seedling planting device to make it easier to supply seedlings, and to avoid losing the traveling balance, etc. However, in such a configuration, it is difficult to find a place to store the empty boxes after replenishment, and handling and storing the empty boxes becomes troublesome.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention allows seedlings to be planted at the rear of the vehicle body (1)! (2) The seedlings to be supplied are stored in the space where the operator gets on and off. The seedling box accommodating device of a seedling transplanter is configured to include an empty box accommodating part (7) for accommodating empty boxes (6) after replenishment.

Effect of the Invention With the seedling storage frame (5) moved forward with respect to the traveling vehicle body (1), a seedling box containing seedlings is loaded into this seedling housing frame (5), and the seedling storage frame (5) is moved forward relative to the traveling vehicle body (1). When performing seedling planting work by running the seedling device (2), when the seedlings are planted and the number of seedlings decreases, the seedling storage frame (5) is moved rearward to remove the stored seedlings. Replenish the seedlings in the seedling box to the seedling planting device (2) without removing the box, and leave the empty box (6) as is after replenishing.
The seedlings are stored in the empty box storage part (7) of this seedling storage frame (5), and the seedling storage frame (5) is moved forward to resume and continue the seedling planting work.

Effects of the Invention As described above, as the seedling storage frame (5) moves in the front-rear direction, the empty box storage section (7) is moved integrally, and in order to maintain a constant position relative to the seedling storage section, the seedling storage frame (5) is moved in the front-rear direction. The seedlings in the box are transferred to the seedling planting device (
The empty box (6) after being supplied to 2) is stored in this empty box storage section (
7), and when the seedling storage frame (5) is moved forward, the empty box storage section (7) is located on the front side, so the empty box (6) cannot be placed from here. Easy to take out
Less likely to get in the way of the pilot.

Embodiment In the illustrations, FIGS. 1 and 2, the running vehicle body (1)
has a front wheel (8) and a rear wheel (9), and is located under the driver's seat (3). (1G) by rear seedling planting device (2)
It is configured in conjunction with the above. This seedling planting device (2) can be raised and lowered by a lifting link mechanism (11) on the rear side of the traveling vehicle body (1), and the seedling planting device (12) accommodates seedlings and moves back and forth in the left and right direction. It consists of a seedling tank (13) and a seedling planting rod (14) for separating and transplanting seedlings from this seedling tank (13), and the upper end of the seedling tank (13) is located behind the cockpit (3). It is kept close.
(15) is the control handle in front of the cockpit (3), and the transmission mechanism (17
) and a running direction clutch pedal (18). This is a step provided around 0.0 m, and the front end of this step (chiang) may be provided so that it can be folded upwards around a support shaft (20) as shown in Fig. 2. (21) is a headlamp; (22)
is an illumination hole opened opposite the headlight (21) of the folding step (19).

The cockpit (3) can be rotated in the front and rear directions around the rotation axis (23), and the seedling storage frames (5) on both left and right sides have shelves in several stages, and seedlings can be placed on each shelf. A hydraulic cylinder mechanism ( 25) for rotational operation. The seedling tank (13) is equipped with a sensor (2B) that detects when the number of seedlings decreases beyond a certain level, and the seedling storage frame (2B) on the side corresponding to this sensor (2B)
The hydraulic cylinder mechanism (25) of 5) is configured to be interlocked,
When the number of seedlings in each seedling tank (13) decreases, the seedling storage frame (5) on the side where the number of seedlings decreases moves from the front position to the rear side to the seedling supply position.

The front end of the seedling storage frame (5) is provided with an empty box storage section (7) that can store an empty box (6), so that the empty box (6) can be placed in an upright position and receive the bottom and front and back sides. It has a surrounding frame structure, and the empty box (6) can be taken in and out from the open part on the upper side. This empty box storage part (7) is configured to be able to open and close the front end of the seedling storage frame (5) and is rotatable vertically or horizontally.
In this open state, the seedling box may be configured to be able to be moved in and out of each seedling box shelf from the front end of the seedling box storage frame (5).

In addition, in the case where the entrance/exit for the seedling box is provided at the front end of the seedling box storage frame (5), the empty box storage section (7) is placed at the front side of the seedling box storage frame (5) so as not to obstruct the entry and exit of the seedling box. It may also be provided on the side.

If a seedling box containing seedlings is loaded into each seedling storage frame (5) and the seedling storage frame (5) is normally placed in the forward position using the hydraulic cylinder mechanism (25), the traveling vehicle body (1) The weight balance between the weight of the seedlings in the front seedling storage frame (5) and the weight of the seedlings in the seedling tank (13) of the rear seedling planting device (2) is maintained at 1't+. When the number of seedlings in the seedling tank (13) decreases due to the gate planting action of the planting rod (10), the corresponding hydraulic cylinder mechanism (25) is detected by the sensor (2B).
is activated, this seedling storage frame (5) is moved to the rear and approached the upper end of the seedling tank (!3), so the operator rotates the cockpit (3) to remove this seedling storage frame. Take out the seedling box from inside the frame (5), replenish the seedlings into the seedling tank (13), and then put the empty box (
6) into this seedling storage frame (5) and an integrated empty box storage part (7).
It is possible to start and continue the seedling planting operation again by moving the seedling storage frame (5) forward by operation.

The operation of the hydraulic cylinder mechanism (25) is controlled by the sensor (2).
Instead of B), it may be configured to be performed only by manual operation by the operator.

The difference between the embodiments shown in Figures 3 and 4 from the above example is that the seedling storage frame (5) is movable in the front and back direction on the rail (27) on the side of the step. It is.

In addition, the points in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 that differ from the above example are as follows.
The seedling storage frame (5) is configured to be rotatable in the front and rear horizontal directions around a support shaft (28) on the side of the traveling vehicle body (1).
