  Moreover, as shown to the side view of FIG. 3, FIG. 4, the front side protrusion part 38a1, 38b1, 38c1 of the 1st-3rd preliminary seedling stand 38a, 38b, 38c is made into a back up inclination shape (back up inclination part), The upper surface of the inclined shape is made higher than the seedling placement surfaces of the preliminary seedling placement stands 38a, 38b, 38c. Further, the rear protrusions 38a2, 38b2, 38c2 of the first to third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c are made higher than the seedling mounting surfaces of the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c, and the front protrusions 38a1. , 38b1 and 38c1 are the same as or lower than the upper surface.

  Since the front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, and 38c1 are rearwardly inclined portions in this way, when the first to third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c are in the unfolded state, the front preliminary seedling platforms 38a and 38b When the seedling box 68 and the like are moved from the rear side to the rear standby seedling platforms 38b and 38c, the seedling box 68 and the like can be placed on the rear rising slope and moved rearward. Efficiency is improved than before. Further, the upper surfaces of the front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1 and the rear protrusions 38a2, 38b2, 38c2 are made higher than the seedling mounting surfaces of the preliminary seedling mounting bases 38a, 38b, 38c. The seedlings placed on the preliminary seedling placement stands 38a, 38b, 38c with the front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1 and the rear protrusions 38a2, 38b2, 38c2 when the seedling placement stands 38a, 38b, 38c are stored. Since it is possible to prevent the box 68 and the like from moving back and forth, the seedling box 68 and the like are prevented from falling downward from the respective reserve seedling platforms 38a, 38b and 38c, and it is not necessary to pick up the dropped seedling box 68 and the like. , Work efficiency is improved than before.

Front spare seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38a1, 38b, 38c between the left and right of the pair of front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1 and at the bottom of the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c, Receiving members 38a3, 38b3, 38c3 for receiving the rear projecting portions 38a2, 38b2, 38c2 of 38c are provided, and the receiving members 38a3, 38b3, 38c3 are spaces between the pair of front projecting portions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1. It protrudes from the part.
In this way, the receiving members 38b3 and 38c3 receive the rear protrusions 38a2 and 38b2 of the front spare seedling platforms 38a and 38b between the front side protrusions 38b1 and 38c1 of the preliminary seedling platforms 38b and 38c. Therefore, the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c are not lowered too much, and the deployed preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c are surely arranged on substantially the same plane. The loading work such as 68 becomes easy, and the work efficiency is improved as compared with the conventional one.

  Further, by providing the receiving members 38a3, 38b3, 38c3 at the bottom of the preliminary seedling mounts 38a, 38b, 38c, the upper ends of the rear protrusions 38a2, 38b2, 38c2 are the upper ends of the front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1. Since the seedling box 68 and the like placed on the front protrusions 38a1, 38b1, 38c1 having the rear rising slope are smoothly moved, the work efficiency is higher than the conventional one. improves.

In addition, the first, second, and third partition walls 38a4, 38b4 that prevent the seedling box 68 from falling at a total of four locations on the front and rear sides of the first, second, and third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c. , 38c4 are arranged.
Further, the rotation fulcrum 39b3 of the second moving link member 39b may be provided coaxially with the rotation shaft 37b1 of the second preliminary seedling stage 38b. In this case, the center second preliminary seedling table 38b does not move back and forth.

As described above, when the first to third moving link members 39a, 39b, and 39c are actuated (rotated), the unfolded state in which the first to third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c are arranged in the front-rear direction and each spare The seedling stage 38a, 38b, 38c is switched to a storage state in which the seedling stands 38a, 38b, and 38c are arranged in the vertical direction. This switching can be performed by the switching drive device 70 that is driven by the electric motor 71. The switching drive device 70 includes a disk gear, a semicircular shape, or a drive gear 71a attached to a rotation shaft (not shown) of the electric motor 71 and a rotation shaft 39b3 of a moving link member 39b meshing with the drive gear 71a. A half-moon shaped switching gear 70a is provided.
The switching gear 70a is provided concentrically with the rotating shaft 39b3 of the moving link member 39b provided on the front branch post 49a, and rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 39b3. Therefore, the rotating shaft 39b3 is driven by the electric motor 71. The second moving link member 39b integrated with the rotating shaft 39b3 is rotated at the same time, whereby the first to third moving link members 39a, 39b, 39c are switched between the housed state and the deployed state.

A switching switch 73 (which may be a button or a lever) (FIGS. 1 and 2) is used as a switching operation means for switching the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c between the deployed state and the stored state by the switching drive device 70. Further, selector switch sensors 73a1 and 73a2 for detecting the operation state (deployed state or stored state) of the selector switch 73 are provided. The upper changeover switch sensor 73a1 is a limit switch that stops the operation of the electric motor 71 when the spare seedling stage 38a, 38b, 38c is in the retracted state, and the lower changeover switch sensor 71a2 is in a state where the preliminary seedling stage 38a, 38b, 38c is in the unfolded state. This is a limit switch that stops the operation of the electric motor 71. Therefore, it is not necessary to keep an eye on the moment when the operator completes switching to the “deployed state” or the “stored state”, and the work efficiency is improved as compared with the prior art.
In the present embodiment, the switching drive device 70 is operated so as to switch the preliminary seedling placement bases 38a, 38b, 38c between the unfolded state and the stored state in accordance with the operation state detected by the changeover switch sensors 73a1, 73a2. A control device (not shown) for performing processing is provided.

In conventional seedling transplanters such as riding type rice transplanters, the operator has to manually switch between the "deployed state" and the "stored state", which is a burden on the operator and spends labor on the switching work There is. Further, operation for switching the preliminary seedling table 38a, 38b, the state of the 38c must be performed to interrupt the other work, work efficiency is also a problem that the decrease. Furthermore, if the operation tool for switching the state of the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c is equipped on a frame or the like that is one member of the moving link members 39a, 39b, 39c, the operator can move the moving link members 39a, There is also a safety problem when manually operating near 39b and 39c.
However, according to this configuration, when the operator operates the changeover switch 73 (FIG. 1), the electric motor 71 is driven by the control device, and the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c are automatically set in the “deployed state” and “storing”. Since it is possible to switch to the “state”, it is not necessary for the operator to perform switching manually, thereby reducing the labor and burden of the worker and improving the work efficiency compared to the prior art.
The same applies to the configuration of the preliminary seedling stage 38 shown in FIG. 3 in which the rotational fulcrum 39b3 of the second moving link member 39b and the rotational axis 37b1 of the second preliminary seedling stage 38b are provided at different positions.

As shown in the front view of the airframe in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the structure of the main part of the right side seedling stand is not contained in the support column 49 after seedling planting on the field. A housing member 67 for housing the empty box is detachably attached.
As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 7 (c), the housing member is welded to the horizontal three U-shaped round bars 67a and the two vertical straight round bars 67b so as to form a bowl shape on the support column 49. Install. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the end portion of the lower U-shaped round bar 67a is inserted into the branch columns 49a and 49b, and the upper side of the housing member 67 is set with the inserted round bar 67a as a rotation fulcrum. If it is made open and it is made to support by branching support | pillar 49a, 49b, the empty seedling box 68 can be mounted from the open | release upper side of the accommodating member 67. FIG. Since the seedling box 68 has a two-stage bottom as shown in the perspective view in the round frame A, a large number of empty boxes can be stacked.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, by rotating the housing member 67 toward the branch columns 49a, 49b, the seedling seedling plate 69 (from the seedling box 68) is opened from the opened upper side of the housing member 67 where the space is relatively narrow. It is possible to insert and hold a member that scrapes off the seedling.
In this way, the housing member 67 for housing the seedling box 68 and the seedling seedling board 69 is attached to the branch posts 49a and 49b, and the empty seedling box after the unused seedling seedling board 69 and seedling are moved to the planting part. 68 can be accommodated in the accommodating member 67, so that the empty seedling box 68 and the seedling-seeking board 69 placed in the empty space of the machine body are not blown away by the wind, and the seedling box 68 and the seedling-seeking board 69 are picked up. This eliminates the need for improved work efficiency.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the accommodating member 67 is rotatably attached to the branching columns 49a and 49b and the accommodating member 67 is rotated to the inside of the machine body, the horizontal attitude or the upward inclined attitude toward the inside of the machine body is obtained. With this configuration, the work can be continued while a plurality of empty seedling boxes 68 are loaded on the housing member 67. Therefore, there is no need to move to the end of the field in order to lower the empty seedling boxes 68. More improved.
Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), by rotating the housing member 67 toward the branching struts 49a and 49b, the housing member 67 is substantially the same as the branching struts 49a and 49b when it is unnecessary, such as during transplanting of seedlings. Since it can be stored in a parallel posture, it is possible to prevent the storage member 67 from interfering with the operator's maneuvering and movement.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, an accommodation member 67 ′ that can be attached to the bottom surfaces of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b can be provided.
The accommodating member 67 ′ shown in a perspective view of FIG. 8C includes two U-shaped round bars 67a ′ and two linear round bars 67b ′ arranged in a direction orthogonal to the U-shaped round bars 67a ′. The frame body is formed by welding, and a U-shaped round bar 67a ′ is fitted and attached to the bottom surfaces of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b. As shown in the schematic side view of FIG. 8B, an accommodation member 67 ′ is attached to the bottoms of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b. The height (B) of the accommodating member 67 ′ to be attached is about twice (B≈2A) the height (A) of the accommodating member 67 ′ at the bottom of the second preliminary seedling stage 38a.
Then, the two straight circular bars 67b 'oriented vertically function as rails for transferring the empty seedling box 68 from the third preliminary seedling stage 38c toward the first preliminary seedling stage 38a. Can do. This is done as follows.

  That is, after carrying out the seedling replenishment operation with the reserve seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c stored, as shown in the schematic side view of FIG. The height of the accommodation member 67 ′ attached to the bottom of the stage 38b is made uniform, and the height of the accommodation member 67 ′ attached to the bottom of the second preliminary seedling stage 38b is attached to the bottom of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a. The height positions of the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c are adjusted so as to be aligned with the height of the accommodating member 67 ′. Switching between the electric motor 71 and the spare seedling platforms 38a, 38b, 38c (which may be referred to as electric seedling frames) that are operated by the electric motor 71 is performed by driving the electric motor 71, so that the switch 73 (FIG. 1) If the switching is stopped halfway by the above operation, it becomes possible to stop the preliminary seedling stage 38a, 38b, 38c at the position shown in FIG. One of the advantages of the electric seedling frame is that the first preliminary seedling stage 38a can be in the middle of switching between the “deployment form” and the “storage form” without a stopper. Further, when the first preliminary seedling stage 38a is brought into the “deployed state”, when it hits the wall at the end of the field, the speed of the transition is reduced during the transition to the expanded state, and the first preliminary seedling stage 38a alone is used. It is possible to make it easier for a seedling replenisher to stack seedlings than before.

  On the other hand, when the seedling box 68 is replenished at the time of seedling planting, the seedling box 68 containing seedlings from the front is aligned with the height of the housing member 67 'attached to the bottom of the preliminary seedling mounting bases 38a, 38b, 38c. It is placed on a rail composed of two linear round bars 67b 'of the housing member 67' and sent backward. At the rear, the operator replenishes the seedling box 68 to the seedling planting unit 4, and then the third preliminary seedling placing table 38c. When the height of the two front receiving members 67 ′ is aligned, the empty box is sent forward by repeating the operation of flowing the empty seedling box 68 forward. In other words, with this configuration, empty empty boxes can be sent forward (returned) one after another, and empty boxes can be automatically sent (returned) to an assistant in the cage. There is no need to place an empty box on the seedling transplanter, and there is no need to provide a basket or the like separately from the seedling frame.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, an accommodation member 67 ′ is provided on the bottom surfaces of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b, and the perspective view is shown in FIG. 9C. The housing member 67 'shown in the figure welds two U-shaped round bars 67a' and two linear round bars 67b 'arranged in a direction orthogonal to the U-shaped round bars 67a' to form a frame. It consists of the made structure, and it attaches to the bottom face of the 1st preliminary seedling mounting base 38a and the 2nd preliminary seedling mounting base 38b. As shown in the schematic side view of FIG. 9A, an accommodation member 67 ′ is attached to the bottoms of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b. The height of the accommodation member 67 ′ to be attached is the same as the height of the accommodation member 67 ′ attached to the bottom of the second preliminary seedling stage 38b. The two vertical straight circular bars 67b ′ that are vertically oriented transport the empty seedling box 68 from the third preliminary seedling stage 38c toward the first preliminary seedling stage 38a as rails for moving the empty box. It can function as a rail for.

  That is, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 9B, the third preliminary seedling stage 38c is rotated so that the inclination in the front-rear direction is changed around the horizontal axis 38c5 provided on the bottom surface of the third preliminary seedling stage 38c. It is free. Then, an empty seedling box 68 is forwarded from the third preliminary seedling table 38c, and a receiving member at the bottom of the first preliminary seedling table 38a using a rail made of two linear round bars 67b 'of the accommodating member 67'. You can send up to 67 '. Conversely, a seedling box 68 containing seedlings is supplied to the housing member 67 'at the bottom of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a, and the seedling box 68 is transferred to the third preliminary seedling stage 38c, so that the operator can be rearward. However, the seedling box 68 can be replenished to the seedling mount 51 of the seedling planting unit 4.

  10 (a) to 10 (c) (FIG. 10 (a) is a schematic side view of the preliminary seedling stage, FIG. 10 (b) is a perspective view of the lower preliminary seedling stage, and FIG. 10 (c) is a housing member. 9 (a) to 9 (c) have a configuration similar to that of FIG. 9 (a) to FIG. 9 (c), and the third preliminary seedling stage 38c has a rectangular shape with a size that allows the seedling box 68 to pass through the center. A hole 38c6 is provided. The accommodating member 67 ′ attached to the bottoms of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a and the second preliminary seedling stage 38b includes two U-shaped round bars 67a ′ and the U-shaped round bar 67a shown in FIG. 10 'is composed of a frame obtained by welding two linear round bars 67b' arranged in a direction orthogonal to the housing member 67 'of the third preliminary seedling stage 38c as shown in FIG. 10 (a). A U-shaped round bar 67a ′ and a U-shaped round bar 67a ′ are welded to a linear round bar 67b ′ arranged in a direction orthogonal to the U-shaped round bar 67a ′. Are inclined so as to guide the seedling box 68 that enters the hole 38c6 of the third preliminary seedling stage 38c.

  Then, an empty seedling box 68 is forwarded from the hole 38c6 of the third preliminary seedling stage 38c, and a bottom portion of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a is utilized by using a rail composed of two linear round bars 67b 'of the accommodating member 67'. To the accommodating member 67 ′. Conversely, a seedling box 68 containing seedlings is supplied to the housing member 67 'at the bottom of the first preliminary seedling stage 38a, and the seedling box 68 is transferred to the third preliminary seedling stage 38c, so that the operator can be rearward. Can replenish the seedling box 68 to the seedling planting unit 4.

As shown in FIG. 6, the first support frame body 37a, the second support frame body 37b, and the third support frame body 37c are disposed on the bottom surfaces of the upper and lower stages of the preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c, respectively. The first support frame 37a, the second support frame 37b, and the third support frame 37c are rotatably attached to the link members 39a and 39b, respectively.
The support frames 37a, 37b, and 37c are arranged to be inclined downward (inclination of about 5 °) toward the inner side of the machine body with respect to the link members 39a, 39b, and 39c, respectively. Therefore, when the seedling box 68 is placed on the spare seedling mounts 38a, 38b, 38c, the seedling box 68 does not fly even in strong winds at the time of seedling planting, and the seedling box 68 is placed on the preliminary seedling even when traveling on the entrance / exit of the field or a bad road. There is no risk of falling from the bases 38a, 38b, 38c.

  Further, FIG. 11 shows a schematic front view of the preliminary seedling table 38a, 38b, 38c. On the side of the support column 49 of the preliminary seedling table 38a, 38b, 38c, a wall that is longer in the vertical direction than the height of the seedling box 68 is shown. Protrusions 38a7, 38b7, 38c7 are provided, and projecting portions are formed on the upper ends of the wall projections 38a7, 38b7, 38c7 toward the outer side of the machine body, whereby the first, second, and third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, Even if the seedling loaded on 38c is lifted by the inclination or vibration of the fuselage, the protrusion formed on the upper end of the wall projections 38a7, 38b7, 38c7 receives the seedling, so that the seedling is prevented from falling, There is no need to collect these seedlings, and the labor of the operator is reduced.

Further, when the lateral width of the first, second, and third preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c is configured wider than the lateral width (left and right length) of the seedling box 68, the seedling box 68 is loaded from the front side of the machine body. In addition, the seedlings do not impinge upon the wall projections 38a7, 38b7, 38c7 and the entry is not hindered, so that the seedling loading work efficiency is improved.
If the gap (S) between the inner wall surface of the wall projections 38a7, 38b7, and 38c7 and the side wall of the seedling box 68 is configured to be 3 cm to 5 cm longer than the thickness (D) of the side wall that constitutes the seedling box 68, the above effect is further enhanced. Demonstrated.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8 (a), a seedling box detection switch 74 that is activated when the seedling box 68 is placed on a plurality of stages of preliminary seedling platforms 38a, 38b, and 38c is provided. If the configuration is such that the electric motor 71 that operates in the deployed form of the preliminary seedling platform 38a, 38b, 38c can be activated when 68 is detected, the seedling box 68 on the preliminary seedling platform 38a, 38b, 38c is dropped or the like.
