Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dividing transporter for a seedling-raising paper tube assembly used in beet transplant cultivation.

Traditionally, paper tubes for raising seedlings have been used for beet transplant cultivation. This seedling raising paper cylinder is a hexagonal paper cylinder.
It is a collection of 1,400 trees chained together in a honeycomb shape, measuring 30 cm in width, 120 cm in length, and 13 cm in height, and weighing about 60 kg.

A transplanter is used to transplant this seedling-raising paper cylinder to the main field.

This transplanter has a seedling mounting stand, and this stand is
The width is 40cm, and the 40cm wide seedling box is set just right. By the way, as mentioned above, the length of the paper tube assembly is 120cm, so when placing it on the stand, divide the length of the assembly into 1/3 each according to the width of the seedling box 40cm, and place it on the transplanter. I'll put it on.

Conventionally, the process of dividing a seedling collection involves inserting a fork under the seedlings, lifting them diagonally upward, dividing them, and transporting them. Because this work of dividing and transporting is hard labor, it is the responsibility of adult men, and during transplanting, men are required to take on two tasks: driving the transplanter and transporting the transplants in parts.

In addition, in order to prevent seedlings from deteriorating, only the amount that can be loaded on the transplanter is transported in parts, so the seedlings are divided several times a day.
Transportation work is required. As a result, transplanting work in the main field has been interrupted, resulting in a huge loss in terms of work efficiency and economy.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional dividing work of paper tubes for raising seedlings. That is, the present invention mechanizes the conventional manual work of dividing seedling paper cylinders, and enables the series of operations to be carried out continuously, including the transplanting operation.

17: Tooth type stopper, details of which are shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 17a denotes a toothed frame mounting body that is suspended from the intermediate bar 20 of the handle frame 3 and is integral with the toothed frame 17.

18: Spring that releases the step 10 from the toothed stopper 17.

19: Seedling pushing plate traction spring, the details of its operation are shown in FIG.

20: The attachment body 17a of the toothed stopper 17 is supported by the intermediate bar of the handle frame 3.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

(Explanation of operation) First, tilt the handle frame 3 slightly forward, drive using the wheels 8 as a fulcrum, and place the horizontal bar 1 and seedling fork 4 on the ground at the desired dividing position of the paper tube assembly 11 for growing seedlings. ground to.

Next, step on the seedling fork insertion bar 9 with your foot to insert the seedling fork 4 into the lower surface of the paper cylinder assembly 11.

This state is shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 2, the wheels 8 are in contact with the ground, so the fulcrum support plate 5 is not in contact with the ground. Therefore, the step 10 and the recess 17b of the tooth-shaped stopper 17 do not engage with each other, but are kept in a free relationship. That is, the step 10 is pulled by the stopper release spring 18, tilts upward about the fulcrum 16 as shown in FIG. 2, and slides against the flat part of the toothed stopper 17.

Next, step 10 in the position shown in FIG.
, the link 1 of the link mechanism 12 is lowered along the guide 13, and the fulcrum receiving plate 5 is finally brought into contact with the ground. In other words, the state shown in FIG. 2 is reached. When the position shown in Figure 2 is reached, step 1
0 rotates horizontally about the fulcrum 16 and fits into the recess 17b of the toothed stopper 17 by the traction force directed toward the recess 17b of the release spring 18. The step 10 is thus fixed to the toothed stop 17.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, grip the handle frame 3 with both hands and tilt it diagonally to the right in the drawing, using the fulcrum receiving plate 5 as a fulcrum. By tilting to the right, the paper cylinder assembly 11 is lifted from the left side of the seedling fork 4 and is on the right seedling fork 4, which serves as a fulcrum.
cracks appear. When the handle frame 3 is returned to its original position, the paper tube assembly 11 is separated from the right side where the crack has occurred.

When the dividing operation of the paper cylinder assembly 11 is completed, the step 10 is released from the tooth-shaped stopper 17 again, and the fulcrum receiving plate 5 is pulled up from the ground by the elastic force of the stopper release spring 18. Next, the handle frame 3 is pushed down slightly toward the front, and the horizontal bar 1, the seedling fork 4, and the paper cylinder assembly 11 on the fork 4 are floated off the ground and transported by running, using the wheels 8 as a fulcrum.

When the divided transporter of the present invention travels to a predetermined point, when the seedling push-out tread bar 15 is stepped on as shown in FIGS. The aggregate 11 is pushed out to the destination point as indicated by arrow a.

When the extrusion of the paper cylinder assembly 11 is completed and the foot is removed from the seedling extrusion tread bar 15, the seedling extrusion plate 6 returns due to the elastic force of the seedling extrusion traction spring 19, completing one cycle of work.

Note that the step 10 opposite to the step 10
Link mechanism 12, guide 13, fulcrum receiving plate 5
After attaching the step 10 and fixing the step 10 to the tooth-shaped stopper 17, the step 10 may be tilted to the left as viewed from the operator using the fulcrum receiving plate 5 as a fulcrum.

(Actions and Effects of the Present Invention) Since the work of dividing the transplanted seedling growing container 11 can be performed using a dividing transporter that also serves as transportation, it has become possible to save labor in the work of transplanting the grown seedlings.

Since the transplanted seedling growing container 11 can be divided easily by just stepping on the step using the link mechanism 12, it is easy for even women and children to handle.

Since the mechanism is simple, both division and transportation operations can be performed without increasing the cost.
