BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a synthetic resin nursery pot soil supply device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a method in which soil is put in a flowerpot-shaped synthetic resin seedling pot, and vegetables such as eggplant and tomato are transplanted to the seedling to grow them. Further, in the publicly known Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-206910, a transfer table provided with a transfer conveyor for horizontally traversing a storage box containing a paper pot sheet having a large number of pots vertically and horizontally from the start end to the end end. In the above, there is provided a soil supply device including a supply hopper provided at an upper part and a feeding belt provided at a lower part of the supply hopper.

[0003]

As described in Japanese Patent No. 6910, it is impossible to supply soil by supplying a synthetic resin nursery pot to a transfer conveyor. That is, the soil supply by the soil supply device described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-206910 is such that soil is supplied in an excessive manner,
After that, excess soil is removed with a brush, so there is no problem if the brush comes into contact with a single sheet by connecting the vertical and horizontal pots, but since the synthetic resin nursery pot is light, the brush comes into contact. Then, it will fall, so the soil supply cannot be mechanized. Therefore, the soil supply to the synthetic resin nursery pots is done by placing the synthetic resin nursery pots on the front, back, left, and right to prevent the synthetic resin nursery pots from falling over. It is possible to place it on the placing container via the frame and supply the placing container to the transfer table provided with the soil feeding device. The frame for placement may be formed according to the size of the placement container, but the placement container is a seedling raising box for rice transplanters to obtain seedlings for rice transplanters that are commercially available. In addition, it is possible to use a basket-shaped one, and it is impossible to supply the soil to the synthetic resin nursery pot placed in the placing container having a width larger than the left and right width of the feeding belt of the soil feeding device.

[0004]

It is an object of the present invention to prevent the synthetic resin nursery pot from tipping over, to mechanize the soil supply, and to keep the soil even when the synthetic resin nursery pots are placed in containers of various sizes. It is something that can be supplied.
