JPH04330205A - Rush seedling box structure - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily replenish preparatory rush seedlings by providing one end of a seedling box with a shutter and the other end with a shutter opening/ closing device and by forced operation toward 'on' operation direction following the insertion setting of the box into a seedling platform. CONSTITUTION:With the insertion setting in the arrow direction of a seedling box A for rush replenishing into a seedling platform, a partitioning vertical wall 21 of the seedling platform rotates a shutter opening/closing device 18 toward 'on' operation direction. Thereby, a shutter 16 on the lower side of the seedling box opens outwardly from the box, thus the seedlings in the box moves easily toward the seedling platform side.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for a rice seedling box which is constructed to be portable and is used to supply seedlings to a seedling stand of a rice seedling transplanter. It is also possible to use this seedling box as a seedling box for plants other than rush.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recently, rice seedling transplanters have come into practical use.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, since strawberry seedlings cannot be formed into a mat shape like rice seedlings, divided seedlings must be fed to a seedling stand of a transplanter. However, the technology for supplying strawberry seedlings to the seedling stand has not yet been determined, and therefore, the next challenge is to develop a means for supplying spare seedlings. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a seedling box for reserve seedlings suitable for transporting reserve rush seedlings in order to meet the above-mentioned needs.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] For the above purpose, the present invention provides a shutter that can be freely opened and closed at one end of a seedling box for supplying rice grass, which is on the lower side when the seedling box is mounted on a platform. , A manual operating tool for freely opening and closing the shutter is attached to the outer surface of the seedling box at the end opposite to the side where the shutter is present, and the maximum amount of seedlings is inserted and set into the seedling stand. The manual operating tool is in contact with the top end of the platform and is forced to operate in the direction of opening the shutter.
This means is characterized in that a manual operating tool is provided in association with the seedling box.

[0005]

[Operation] To supply seedlings to the seedling stand, first load the seedling box with seedlings supplied into the seedling stand, then transfer the seedlings in the seedling box to the seedling stand, and finally Work to remove the box by pulling it out. Therefore, with the seedling box having the characteristic configuration described above, by operating the manual operating tool while the seedling box is loaded, it is possible to open the shutter that has a function to prevent the seedlings from falling during transportation, and it is possible to easily move the seedlings in the seedling box to the seedling stand. You will be able to move to the side. The manual operation tool is located at the top of the seedling box when it is loaded on the seedling stand, so you can open and close the shutter and move the seedling box from the driver's seat without having to get down to the planting ground. You will be able to replenish seedlings by working alone. In addition, since the manual operation tool is attached to the seedling box in a manner similar to the above characteristic configuration, when the maximum amount of insertion and setting of the seedling box into the seedling stand is performed, that is, when the seedlings are first placed. When feeding the seedlings to the seedling stand, the shutter is automatically opened in response to the operation, making it possible to feed the seedlings without operating a manual operating tool.

[0006]

[Effects of the Invention] Therefore, by devising the structure of the seedling box that accommodates the divided and scattered rice seedlings, it is possible to conveniently replenish seedlings while staying in the transplanting machine, and to make the replenishment work at the time of initial seedling supply easier. We were able to realize a structure for a rice seedling box that can be provided in a simplified manner.

Embodiments Below, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. The rice seedling transplanter shown in Fig. 4 has a seedling planting device 2 connected to the rear of a traveling body V via a link mechanism 1 so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and this device reciprocates with a constant stroke with respect to a transmission case 3 that also serves as a frame. It is equipped with a seedling platform 4 that moves laterally, a planting mechanism 6 for cutting and planting seedlings one by one from a seedling outlet 5 at the lower end thereof, a plurality of soil leveling floats 7, and the like. At the bottom of the seedling platform 4, there is provided a vertical feeding device 8 of an endless rotary belt type with a protrusion, which vertically feeds the placed seedlings by a predetermined amount toward the seedling take-out port 5 at the stroke end of horizontal movement. A seedling holding mechanism 11 is provided above the planting mechanism 6, which includes a holding claw 10 that enters the lower end of the seedling prior to the operation of the planting claw 9, and pushes and holds the seedling toward the seedling removal port 5.

To supply seedlings to the seedling table 4, a seedling box A shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is used. This seedling box A has left and right side plates 1
2, 12 and the bottom plate 13 are integrally formed, and a handle 1 is attached to one of them.
4 is attached to the fixed end wall 15, and the other side is provided with a shutter 16 which is swingable around a fulcrum P at the lower end. A bracket 17 is provided on the outer surface of the side plate 12 on the fixed end wall 15 side.
An operating lever 18 (corresponding to a manual operating tool) swinging around the left and right axis is attached through the shutter 18, and the operating lever 18 and the shutter 16 are interlocked and connected by a connecting rod 19. Further, an abutting plate 20 is fixed to the lateral outer side of the upper part of the operating lever 18. As shown in Figure 1 (a), when the seedling box A is inserted into the seedling stand 4 at the maximum amount (until the seedling box hits the descending limit stopper of the seedling stand) for the first supply of seedlings, the seedlings are Its position and shape are set so that it comes into contact with the upper end of the partition vertical wall 21 of the platform 4, so that the operating lever 18 is positioned on the left side (upper side) in the figure, as shown in FIG. 1(b). The shutter 16 is automatically opened when the shutter 16 is operated. When replenishing seedlings during planting work, the shutter 16 is opened and closed by manually operating the operating lever 18.

[Another embodiment] The upper end of the mounting surface 4a of the seedling platform 4 is in contact with the lower part of the pivot point of the operation lever 18 to the seedling box A, and the maximum insertion set into the seedling platform 4 is achieved. It may be something that expresses the state.
