Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plug seedling tray, which is seeded on a plug seedling tray and is allowed to grow to a size of, for example, 4 to 6 leaves after germination, like a flower or vegetable seedling, from a plug seedling tray. The present invention relates to a temporary planting device for temporary planting in a temporary planting pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a technique relating to a temporary planting device has been known. For example, it is like the temporary planting apparatus shown in FIG. In the temporary planting device shown in FIG. 17, a transfer mechanism is arranged on a transfer table 61, on which temporary cups are randomly placed, and an elliptical conveyor 63 configured on the horizontal plane of the transfer table 61 is circulated. Are moving. A plug seedling tray conveyor 50 that conveys the plug seedling tray 51 is arranged on one side of the lower part of the carrier 61, and the seedling removing mechanism 52 arranged on the carrier 61 removes the plug seedling tray 51 from the plug seedling tray 51. One row is taken out and inserted into the temporary cup 53 fed below the seedling removing mechanism 52.

In the temporary cup 53, the plug seedlings of the plug seedling tray 51 are inserted into each cup one by one, but in reality, one row of the plug seedling tray 51 has a missing portion. Or, since dwarf seedlings are generated, it is necessary to thin them out, and in the sorting mechanism 62, another U-shaped shape is provided in which the temporary cups 53 for missing or dwarf seedlings are provided inside the conveyor 63. It is moved to the row of temporary stockless cups on the conveyor 56. A washing station 57 is arranged in the middle of the U-shaped conveyor 56, the soil portion put inside is washed, and the temporary placement cup row 58 after washing is the empty of the temporary planting plug seedling temporary placement cup row 59. It merges with the temporary cup and is lined up orderly on the elliptical conveyor 63.

A temporary plant tray conveyor 54 for transporting a temporary plant tray 60 having a temporary plant pot 55 is arranged on the other side of the lower portion of the carrier table 61. The rows of the plug seedling trays 51 in which the normal seedlings have been sorted, which have been sorted by the sorting mechanism 62, are lined up by thinning out the missing seedling temporary placement cup rows and then aligning them into one row. Are arranged above the temporary planting tray 60. Above the temporary plant tray 60, the temporary planting is performed in the temporary plant tray 60 by the planting mechanism.
After the temporary planting, the row of the temporary cups is a tray 60 for the temporary soil together with the soil.
Since it has been moved to, it is not necessary to wash, and it joins with the post-washing temporary storage cup row 58 that has passed through the cleaning station 57 in the missing stock temporary storage cup row 56, and again under the seedling extraction mechanism 52. It moves cyclically. The above is the structure of the conventional temporary implanter.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following drawbacks. That is, since the transfer path of the temporary cup of the transfer table 61 is configured in a plane, a wide transfer area is required. Furthermore, in the plane, the elliptical conveyor 63 and the U-shaped conveyor 5
Since it is necessary to arrange 6 and 2 conveyors for circulating movement, a large area is required for this also.
Therefore, a heavy carrier is required, and the manufacturing cost is increased. In addition, the member for supporting the carrier at a predetermined position must be rigid and strong. In addition, after the temporary stocking cups that are missing due to the stocks existing between the rows of the plug seedling trays 51 are sorted by the sorting mechanism 62 and bypassed and transferred to the U-shaped conveyor 56, the temporary seeding plug temporary seedling cups are placed. It is necessary to rearrange the rows of the rows 59, which makes it difficult to perform this work accurately. Further, since the cleaning station 57 is also arranged on the transfer table 61, a space for this cleaning station 57 is also required, and the transfer table 61 is large and takes up space. The present invention is as described above.
This is to solve the problems of the conventional technology.

[0006]

The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, the means for solving the above problems will be described. In claim 1, the plug seedling tray conveyor 10 that conveys the plug seedling tray P, the temporary planting tray conveyor 11 that conveys the temporary planting tray S in which a plurality of temporary planting pots T are arranged side by side, and the seedling transfer cup 9 are provided on the outer periphery. A seedling carrier C, and a seedling extraction section E for extracting the plug seedling G from the plug seedling tray P and transferring it to the seedling transfer cup 9.
A seedling carrier C is provided with a planting section B for taking out the plug seedling G from the seedling transfer cup 9 and transplanting it into a temporary planting pot T.
Is circulated and rotated in a vertical plane to convey the seedling transfer cup 9 from the seedling extracting section E to the planting section B.

According to a second aspect, in the temporary planting device,
Plug seedling tray conveyor 10 and temporary planting tray conveyor 11
Are arranged in parallel, and the seedling carrier C is set to the conveyors 10 and 1
It is arranged above 1 so that the conveying direction of the cup is at right angles to the flow direction thereof.

According to a third aspect, in the temporary planting device,
The seedling carrier C is configured to be intermittently fed at the same intervals as the arrangement intervals of the seedling transfer cups 9.

According to a fourth aspect, in the temporary planting device,
The seedling extracting section E is installed above the plug seedling tray conveyor 10 to reciprocate between the plug seedling tray conveyor 10 and the seedling carrier C, and the above-mentioned planting tray is installed above the temporary planting tray conveyor 11. The attachment part B is installed to reciprocate between the temporary planting tray conveyor 11 and the seedling carrier C.

[0010]

Next, the operation will be described. According to the first aspect, since the seedling carrying cup can be made to flow up and down in the opposite direction, the empty cup carrying path can be provided in the lower part. Therefore, the plane-occupying area of the carrier can be reduced. As a result, the carrier itself can be made smaller,
Manufacturing cost can be reduced. The member for supporting the carrier at a predetermined position with respect to both conveyors can be simplified.

According to the second aspect, it is necessary to position the plug seedling tray for each row of seedlings in order to remove one row of seedlings from the plug seedling tray. Can be set to a fixed position.
As a result, the seedling extraction unit can be moved by only two points, the extraction position and the seedling transfer position, and it becomes a simple operation of forward / backward movement, and the seedling extraction transfer time can be shortened. Further, the seedling extraction and planting time can be shortened in the planting section and the temporary planting tray conveyor as in the above case. Therefore, the temporary plant efficiency can be improved.

According to the third aspect, since the seedling carrier C is configured to be intermittently fed at the same intervals as the arrangement intervals of the seedling transfer cups 9, the seedling transfer position of the seedling extraction section and the seedling of the planting section. Since the sampling position does not change before and after intermittent feeding of the seedling carrier, the reference positions of the seedling sampling unit and the planting unit can be fixed. Therefore, a control mechanism for finely adjusting the reference position is unnecessary.

According to the fourth aspect, the reciprocating path in which the seedling removing section E extracts the plug seedling G from the plug seedling tray P and transfers it to the seedling transfer cup 9, and the planting section B transfers the seedling. The path of the reciprocating movement for transplanting from the cup 9 to the temporary plant pot T can be configured linearly, and the mechanism for reciprocating the motions thereof is extremely simplified, and the entire temporary planting device can be manufactured compactly and at low cost. It was

[0030]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. Since the seedling transfer cup can be made to flow up and down in the reverse direction by the structure according to the first aspect, it is possible to provide an empty transfer path for the seedling transfer cup in the lower part. Therefore, the area occupied by the seedling carrier in the plane can be reduced. As a result, the seedling carrier itself can be made small, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The member for supporting the carrier at a predetermined position with respect to both conveyors can be simplified. Further, there is an advantage that the size of the entire temporary planting device can be reduced by reducing the size of the seedling carrier.

According to the present invention, it is necessary to position the plug seedling trays for each row of seedlings in order to remove one row of seedlings from the plug seedling tray. However, by starting and stopping the plug seedling tray conveyor. One row of seedlings can be fixed in position. As a result, the seedling extraction unit can be moved by only two points, the extraction position and the seedling transfer position, and it becomes a simple operation of forward / backward movement, and the seedling extraction transfer time can be shortened. Further, the seedling extraction and planting time can be shortened in the planting section and the temporary planting tray conveyor as in the above case. Therefore, the temporary plant efficiency can be improved.

Since the seedling carrier C is configured to be intermittently fed at the same intervals as the arrangement intervals of the seedling transfer cups 9 as in claim 3, the seedling transfer position of the seedling extraction section and the seedling extraction of the planting section are carried out. Since the position does not change before and after intermittent feeding of the seedling carrier, it is possible to fix the reference positions of the seedling extracting portion and the planting portion. Therefore, a control mechanism for finely adjusting the reference position is unnecessary.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the seedling removing section E removes the plug seedling G from the plug seedling tray P and transfers the plug seedling G to the seedling transfer cup 9, and the planting section B. The path of the reciprocating movement for transplanting from the seedling transfer cup 9 to the temporary plant pot T can be configured linearly, the mechanism for reciprocating these is extremely simplified, and the temporary planting apparatus as a whole can be manufactured compactly and at low cost. It became so.
