Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pot holder that is incorporated into an automatic soil supplying device or the like.

More specifically, it is a pot that is attached to the main body of a device such as an automatic cultivation soil supply device that is equipped with a moving mechanism for moving the pot for work purposes such as automatic cultivation soil supply, and is formed so that the pot can be supported horizontally. The present invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a holder in response to changes in pot size.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a pot holder, one shown in FIG. 4, for example, is known.

This conventional pot holder is built into an automatic cultivation soil supply device, and has bucket-shaped pot supports a that are open at the top and into which pots can be inserted, and are arranged vertically at regular intervals on the circumference. This pot support part a is attached to the support b
It is fixed to ring c via.

The device main body part A of the automatic soil supplying device in which this pot holder is incorporated includes a moving mechanism Aa consisting of a rotating part that is connected to the ring c and horizontally rotates the ring c at fixed angles, and a lower part of the moving mechanism Aa. A depositing section Ab of soil B provided in
The container is equipped with a bucket conveyor Ad disposed from the upstream side of the pot holder to above the side of the pot support part a of the pot holder, and a hole-drilling drill Ae installed on the side of the bucket conveyor Ad so as to be movable up and down. There is.

In such an automatic cultivation soil supply device, when a pot is inserted and supported in the pot support portion Aa of the pot holder and the moving mechanism Aa of the device main body A is driven, the soil is transported from the depositing portion Ab to the belt conveyor Ac and the bucket conveyor Ad. A certain amount of soil B is automatically filled into each pot,
Further, planting holes are automatically drilled into the filled soil B using a hole drill Ae.

In addition, when using pots of different sizes,
The entire pot holder consisting of the pot support part a, strut b, and ring c is removed from the moving mechanism Aa and replaced with one having a pot support part a of a matching size.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] According to the above-mentioned conventional pot holder, when pots of different sizes are used, the entire pot must be replaced, and the replacement operation on the main body A of the device is troublesome. Further, there are problems in that a large number of replacement parts must be prepared, which increases manufacturing costs and storage space, and makes it difficult to adapt to changes in the size of the pot.

The present invention was devised to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a pot holder that can respond well to changes in the size of the pot.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the pot holder according to the present invention is attached to a main body of a device equipped with a moving mechanism for moving the pot for work purposes, and horizontally supports the pot. In the pot holder, the pot holder is formed into a polyhedron and has pot fitting holes of different diameters on each side of the pot support, and the pot support is fixed to the pot support and each side of the pot support is fixed to the pot support. The device is characterized in that it includes a mounting portion that can be attached to the main body of the device so that the device can be selectively held horizontally.

[Function] According to the above-mentioned means, each surface of the polyhedral pot support part is selected and attached to the device body part by the attachment part, so that partial operation is sufficient, and operation is simplified.

In addition, since the pot support is a polyhedron with pot-fitting holes of different diameters on each side, there is no need to prepare replacement parts because the same part is used. It does not take up much cost or storage space.

Therefore, the objective of providing a pot holder that can respond well to changes in pot size is achieved.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the pot holder according to the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this embodiment, an apparatus is shown that is incorporated into an automatic soil supplying apparatus similar to the conventional example described above.

This embodiment is composed of a pipe-shaped attachment part 1 which is inserted into and attached to the moving mechanism Aa side of the apparatus main body part A, which is a radial pipe Aa', and a pot support part 2 which is a hollow hexahedron. There is.

The attachment part 1 has a pipe-shaped main body part 11 whose one end is fixed to one surface of the pot support part 2, and the main body part 11 of the pot support part 2 is perpendicular to the surface fixed to the other end of the main body part 11. A concave groove 12 carved corresponding to the surface, a mounting hole 13 drilled in the pipe Aa', a nut 14 fixed on the mounting hole 13, and screwed into the mounting hole 13 and the nut 14. It consists of a bolt 15.

This attachment part 1 connects the main body part 11 to the pipe.
Insert bolt 15 into Aa′ and tighten bolt 15.
By pressing the tip of the holder against the groove 12, it is attached and fixed to the moving mechanism Aa side of the main body part A of the apparatus.

The pot support part 2 has pot fitting holes 21, 22, 23, and 24 each having a different diameter on four sides perpendicular to the plane to which the main body part 11 of the attachment part 1 is fixed.

This pot support part 2 has pot fitting holes 21, 22, 2.
The pot 3 is fitted and supported from above 3 and 24.

According to such an embodiment, by loosening the bolt 15 of the attachment part 1 and rotating the main body part 11, one of the pot fitting holes 21, 22, 23, 24 of the pot support part 2 is turned upward and the pot is attached. pot fitting hole 21 that supports 3;
22, 23, and 24 can be selected, and the attachment is fixed by tightening the bolt 15, so that operations corresponding to the size of the pot 3 can be easily performed. Further, since the plurality of pot fitting holes 21, 22, 23, and 24 corresponding to the size of the pot 3 are integrally incorporated into the pot support portion 2, there are no problems in manufacturing or storage.

As described above, in addition to the illustrated embodiment, spline grooves are provided in the main body part 11 of the mounting part 1, and the pipe
It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which it can be inserted into and removed from Aa'. According to this embodiment, there is an advantage that the operation is simpler than the insertion/removal operation or the bolt tightening operation.

Moreover, the pot support part 2 can also be made into a polyhedral embodiment other than a hexahedron.

Furthermore, the pot holder according to the present invention can be incorporated into other devices such as an automatic pot cleaning device and an automatic plant planting device.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the pot holder according to the present invention is easy to operate because each side of the pot support part is selected and attached to the main body of the device by the attachment part, so only partial operations are required. In addition, since the pot support part is integrally equipped with pot fitting holes of different diameters, there is no need to prepare replacement ones because the same one is used, which reduces manufacturing costs and takes up less space when storing. It has the effect that it does not bulk up and can be easily adapted to changes in the size of the pot.
