The bottom lid 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 with respect to the right seedling planting body 5 opens at the center position of the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 of the seedling planting body 5, and proper seedling supply and planting can be performed.

  Next, when set between 450 mm strips shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the seedling planting body 5 is directly below the seedling supply cup 25 when the bottom lid 25 a of the seedling supply cup 25 opens at the drop supply positions 39 and 40. It is set to be when it rises to the maximum. At this time, the first moving support 42e for determining the left drop supply position 39 is set at a position marked with an interval of 450 mm, and the second moving support 42f for determining the right drop supply position 40 is also an interval between the stripes. Set to the position marked 450mm. Thereby, the seedling supply cup 25 can supply the seedlings simultaneously without passing the seedling supply leakage to the two seedling planting bodies 5 while passing through the upper part of the two seedling planting bodies 5 in series. It will be possible to supply seedlings to the two seedling planting bodies 5 without leaving a seedling supply cup 25 that has not been supplied with seedlings after passing over the planting body 5, and the seedling supply operation can be performed with a margin, In addition, seedlings can be reliably supplied to the two seedling planting bodies 5. At this time, the bottom cover 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 with respect to the left seedling planting body 5 opens at the center position of the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 of the seedling planting body 5, and proper seedling supply and planting can be performed. . The bottom cover 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 with respect to the right seedling planting body 5 opens at a position slightly before the center position of the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 of the seedling planting body 5, but the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 The width L1 of the portion is wider than twice the pitch P1 of the seedling supply cup 25 of the seedling supply device 24 (that is, wider than the distance L2 between the two ends of the two seedling supply cups 25 arranged side by side). Since it is configured, it is possible to supply and plant appropriate seedlings.

  Next, when the 500 mm strip shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 is set, the seedling planting body 5 is immediately below the seedling supply cup 25 when the bottom lid 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 opens at the drop supply positions 39 and 40. It is set to be when it rises to the maximum. At this time, the first moving support 42e for determining the left drop supply position 39 is set at a position marked as 500 mm between the stripes, and the second moving support 42f for determining the right drop supply position 40 is also set between the stripes. Set to the position marked 500mm. Thereby, the seedling supply cup 25 can supply the seedlings simultaneously without passing the seedling supply leakage to the two seedling planting bodies 5 while passing through the upper part of the two seedling planting bodies 5 in series. It will be possible to supply seedlings to the two seedling planting bodies 5 without leaving a seedling supply cup 25 that has not been supplied with seedlings after passing over the planting body 5, and the seedling supply operation can be performed with a margin, In addition, seedlings can be reliably supplied to the two seedling planting bodies 5. At this time, the bottom cover 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 with respect to the left seedling planting body 5 opens at a position slightly past the center position of the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 of the seedling planting body 5, The width L1 of the upper end opening is wider than twice the pitch P1 of the seedling supply cup 25 of the seedling supply device 24 (that is, wider than the interval L2 between the bottom ends of the two seedling supply cups 25 arranged side by side) ), So that appropriate seedlings can be supplied and planted. The bottom cover 25a of the seedling supply cup 25 with respect to the right seedling planting body 5 opens at a position slightly before the center position of the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 of the seedling planting body 5, but the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 The width L1 of the portion is wider than twice the pitch P1 of the seedling supply cup 25 of the seedling supply device 24 (that is, wider than the distance L2 between the two ends of the two seedling supply cups 25 arranged side by side). Since it is configured, it is possible to supply and plant appropriate seedlings.

  Even when the spacing between the planting lines is changed in this way, the width L1 of the upper end opening of the seedling guide 51 is wider than twice the pitch P1 of the seedling supply cup 25 of the seedling supply device 24 (that is, two arranged side by side). The width of the seedling supply cup 25 is wider than the distance L2 between both ends of the seedling supply cup 25), so that the seedling supply device 25 can properly supply seedlings from the seedling supply cup 25 to the seedling planting body 5, The planting accuracy can be maintained. Further, the spacing between the planting strips can be easily changed by moving the seedling planting body 5 in the left-right direction and changing the drop supply positions 39 and 40. In particular, even if the spacing between the planting lines is changed, the left and right drop supply positions 39 and 40 can be changed with a simple configuration of changing the positions of the first moving support 42e and the second moving support 42f. The rotation position (phase) of the seedling container 25 can be changed by changing the rotation phase of the winding sprocket 29 relative to the driven sprocket 35 without changing the winding of the chain 34 and the seedling supply cup 25. It becomes easy to change between strips. In addition, the position change of the seedling planting body 5 and the pressure-reducing wheel 73 can be easily performed by merely sliding the position adjusting shaft 70 and the arm boss 75a of the pressure-reducing arm 75b.

  Moreover, as shown in the drawing, the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 for reducing the soil around the seedling while covering the surrounding area of the planted seedling are provided on the right side of the left and right seedling planting body 5 respectively, The roots of the seedlings that have been planted are suppressed from both the left and right sides to promote rooting.

  Here, the support structure of the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 will be described. A pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c having a regular hexagonal axis configuration along the horizontal direction is provided on a left and right support arm 74b extending from the pressure-reducing frame 74a fixed to the body frame 20 in a lateral direction and extending rearward of the body. . Then, left and right pressure-reducing wheels 73 are provided at the rear part of the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 so as to be freely rotatable, and front portions of the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 are respectively configured with U-shaped rotation base end portions 75a. As a configuration in which the pressure suppression arm shaft 74c is passed through a circular through hole 75b provided at the front end portion of the end portion 75a, the left and right arms 75 have a configuration in which the rear portion freely rotates up and down with the pressure suppression arm shaft 74c as a rotation fulcrum. It has become.

  On the other hand, a slide boss 75d penetrating the regular hexagonal hole 75c in the left-right direction is disposed inside the U-shape of the rotation base end 75a in a plan view and is externally fitted to the pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c so as to be able to move only to the left and right. Has been placed. That is, a regular hexagonal hole 75c formed through the slide boss 75d in the left-right direction is externally fitted to a regular hexagonal pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c, and the pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c is tightened by tightening a set bolt 75e. The movement can be fixed in the axial direction. Accordingly, by tightening the set boss 75e and fixing the slide boss 75d on the inner side of the rotation base end portion 75a of the pressure reducing arm 75 to the pressure reducing arm shaft 74c, the pressure reducing arm 75 moves in the left-right direction. Therefore, the rear left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 are only moved up and down, and the pressure reducing position of the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 can be moved and adjusted left and right.

  A rear end portion of each pressure suppression arm 75 is formed in a gate-shaped rear frame 75f in a rear view, and the pair of left and right pressure suppression wheels 73 are disposed on both left and right sides of the rear frame 75f, and can be rotated by a support shaft 73a. I support it. The rear frame 75f is configured to be able to move in the forward direction across the upper part of the seedling planted in the ridge U. Further, a plurality of balance weights 75h are fitted and supported by a weight mounting arm 75g provided upward from the rear frame 75f, and the pressure reduction pressure can be adjusted by changing the number of the balance weights 75h.

  Stopper arms 75i are fixed to both the left and right sides of the slide boss 75d. The stopper arms 75i extend below the pivot base end 75a toward the rear of the machine body, and the leading end thereof is the pivot base end 75a. This is configured to restrict the pressure-reducing arm 75 from moving downward more than a predetermined amount in contact with the lower side of the U-shaped rear part. That is, the pressure-reducing arm 75 is rotated upward and downward from the position where the lower side of the rotation base end portion 75a contacts the stopper arm 75i, and the left-right pressure-reducing wheel 73 moves up and down.

  A lifting arm 74d that rotates integrally is provided at the right end portion of the pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c, and a right-turning cylinder portion 16b that is a part of a mechanism for moving the left and right rear wheels 7 up and down (by extending and retracting the rolling cylinder 11). The right arm 16a provided on the non-rotating side) is linked to the forced raising rod 76. The connecting portion between the front end of the forcibly rising rod 76 and the right arm 16a is provided with an interchangeable portion 76a formed of a long hole at the front end of the forcibly rising rod 76, and a pin having a base fixed to the right arm 16a. 76b is engaged, and the forcible raising rod 76 is not pushed and pulled by the vertical movement of the right rear wheel 7 by the vertical movement control at the time of normal seedling transplanting, and the left and right wheels 10 are largely moved downward when the aircraft is turning. Only when the forcible ascending rod 76 is pushed, the lifting arm 74d rotates in the direction of the arrow A, and the pressure-reducing arm shaft 74c rotates in the direction of the arrow A. The stopper arm 75i of the slide boss 75d is also rotated in the direction of the arrow A, and the left and right pressure reducing arms 75 are rotated in the upward movement direction by the stopper arm 75i, so that the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 are automatically moved upward. It is configured to be accommodated rotated. Accordingly, when the left and right rear wheels 7 are moved downward during the turning operation of the aircraft at the end position of the heel U or when the aircraft is moved, the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 are automatically housed and rotated upward. Can be turned and moved easily and workability is good.

  In addition, the mechanism for retracting and rotating the left and right pressure reducing wheels 73 is linked to the rear wheel 7 on the side that does not move up and down by the expansion and contraction operation of the rolling cylinder 11, so that it is appropriately affected without being affected by the expansion and contraction operation of the rolling cylinder 11. The left and right pressing wheels 73 can be stored upward.

  On the other hand, a stand support arm 74e is extended from the pressure-reducing frame 74a toward the lower side of the machine body to support the parking stand 77a. In the parking stand 77a, the tip of the left and right support rod 77d is fixed by welding to the grounding rod 77c provided at the tip, and a long hole 77e provided in the base of the left and right support rod 77d is provided between the left and right stand support portions 77b. The parking stand 77a is provided so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft 77f. A parking engagement notch groove 77g is provided at a lower position of the left and right stand support portions 77b and a storage engagement notch groove 77h is provided at a rear position, and the front end side of the elongated hole 77e provided above the parking stand 77a An engagement shaft 77i that engages with the parking engagement notch groove 77g and the storage engagement notch groove 77h is provided, and a tension spring is provided between the spring receiving shaft 77j and the engagement shaft 77i provided above the rotation shaft 77f. 77k is provided so that the engagement shaft 77i can be kept engaged with the parking engagement notch groove 77g and the storage engagement notch groove 77h by the tensile force of the tension spring 77k.

  In a state where the engagement shaft 77i is engaged with the parking engagement notch groove 77g, the tip of the parking stand 77a faces downward, and the grounding rod 77c contacts the ground to support the aircraft. Yes. In this parking state, the tread adjustment of the left and right rear wheels 7 can be easily performed by operating the planting operation lever 88 to operate the lifting hydraulic cylinder 14 to raise the left and right rear wheels 7 to a position where they are not grounded. . Also, when the aircraft is placed on a truck bed or the like and moved, if the parking stand 77a is parked, even if the hydraulic pressure of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 14 is released and the left and right rear wheels 7 are moved, it is stable. The aircraft can be supported by the parking stand 77a.

  Next, until the engagement shaft 77i is disengaged from the engagement notch groove 77g for parking, the tension spring 77k is pulled by holding the parking stand 77a against the pulling force of the pulling spring 77k, and rotated upward and released. With the pulling force of 77k, the engaging shaft 77i engages with the storing engagement notch groove 77h, and the parking stand 77a is stored in the stored state above the fuselage. In this stored state, since the parking stand 77a is stored above the machine body, a favorable transplanting operation can be performed without interfering with the transplanting operation.

In this way, switching between the parking state and the storage state of the parking stand 77a can be easily performed with one touch, and the workability is good.
The left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 each provided with left and right pressure-reducing wheels 73 at the rear are provided with rod-shaped left and right indicators 78 that extend upward. Here, the configuration and operation of the left / right indicator 78 will be described. The base of the indicator 78 is supported by a pivot pin 78b in the left-right direction of the body on a U-shaped support 78a welded and fixed on the rear part of the pressure-reducing arm 75 slightly ahead of the ground contact position of the left-right pressure wheel 73 in a side view of the body. It is pivotally supported so as to be pivotable in the front-rear direction. The upper part of the left / right indicator 78 is provided in a state of extending upward through the left / right guide hole 78d of the indicator guide 78c attached to the body frame 20 at the left / right center part. The left and right guide holes 78d are elongated holes extending in the left-right direction of the machine body. As described above, the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 are adjusted in the left-right position to change the left-right position of the left and right pressure-reducing wheels 73 to adjust the striations. In this case, the left / right indicator 78 is also configured to change its position in the left / right direction of the fuselage in accordance with the adjustment of the interval. Further, a conspicuous color marker 78e serving as an index is attached to the upper end of the left and right indicator 78.

  Therefore, when the pressure-reducing wheel 73 moves up and down following the heel U surface during the transplanting operation, the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 provided with the pressure-reducing wheels 73 that repress the left and right planting positions respectively move up and down. The markers 78e of the left and right indicators 78 also move up and down in conjunction with the up and down movement of 75. In other words, when the right side of the upper surface of the heel U is high and the left side is inclined low when facing the advancing direction of the aircraft, the marker 78e of the right indicator 78 is higher than the marker 78e of the left indicator 78. The person can immediately recognize that the right side of the upper surface of the bag U is high and the left side is inclined low.

  Therefore, when the operator is seated on the seat 79 and performing the transplanting operation, the operator immediately recognizes the right / left inclination of the heel U by looking at the marker 78e of the left / right indicator 78 and the difference in height of the left / right marker 78e. Therefore, the height of the marker 78e of the left and right indicator 78 is made the same by operating the rolling control valve B2 by operating the manual body tilt adjusting lever 15 in the left and right direction of the body and expanding and contracting the rolling cylinder 11. Tilt the aircraft. Then, since the body is parallel to the inclination of the ridge U, the planting depth of the seedlings by the left and right seedling planting bodies 5 at the left and right planting positions becomes the same, and an appropriate seedling transplanting operation can be performed.

  In addition, since the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 are biased toward the pressure-reducing wheel 73 on the inner side of the left and right pressure-reducing wheels 73, the distance between the left and right pressure-reducing arms 75 is narrow. Accordingly, the left / right distance of the left / right indicator 78 provided on the left / right pressure suppression arm 75 having a narrow distance in the left / right direction of the airframe is also narrowed, and the left / right marker 78e of the left / right indicator 78 is closer to the left and right. The difference is easy to understand, and the tilting operation of the airframe can be performed accurately and easily, and the workability is good.

  In addition, a rear seat 79 is provided above the bonnet Bo that covers the upper part of the engine 3 and the transmission case 8 so as to face the seedling supply device 24 side, and a flat step 80 for placing a foot between the seedling supply device 24 is provided. ing. The seat 79 is supported by the airframe via a support frame 81 that extends upward through one of the left and right sides (right side) of the bonnet Bo.

  The step 80 includes a main step 82 disposed between the seat 79 and the seedling supply device 24 in plan view of the machine body, and sub-steps 83 provided on both the left and right sides of the seat 79 and the bonnet Bo. The sub-step 83 extends forward and backward from the front end portion of the airframe to near the main step 82, the front portion 83a is configured to be one step lower than the rear portion 83b, and allows an operator to get on and off from the front end portion of the airframe. It is configured. An elevating mechanism (arm 16a, rolling cylinder 11, rod 13, etc.) for raising and lowering the wheel (rear wheel) 7 can be arranged below the rear part 83b which is the upper stage of the sub-step 83, and the space of the machine body is reduced. The aircraft is made compact by making effective use. Further, a transmission case 9 that rotates up and down can be disposed below the rear portion of the sub-step 83 in accordance with the tread change of the wheel (rear wheel) 7. In addition, a rising portion 82a is provided at the front end of the main step 82 so as to be inclined upward and the operator's foot sitting on the seat 79 contacts the vertical movement mechanism 4 of the seedling planting device 23 by the rising portion 82a. Protects against this. Further, by positioning the rising portion 82a below the seedling supply device 24, the longitudinal length of the machine body can be shortened. Moreover, the main step 82 is provided with the rising portion 82a, whereby the strength is improved. The rising portion 82a includes a main clutch lever 84 for driving the left and right rear wheels 7, the seedling planting device 23 and the seedling supply device 24, and a left and right side brake pedal 85 for braking the left and right rear wheels 7. The operator in the seat 79 can stop the aircraft and correct the traveling direction of the aircraft.

  At the front end of the fuselage between the left and right front wheels 6, there is provided a heel end sensor 86 for grounding the top surface of the heel U to detect the end of the heel U, and the heel end sensor 86 is free from wrinkles due to the forward movement of the body. It is configured to detect that the end of the heel has been reached by losing the sense of the upper surface of the heel after reaching. Based on the detection of the heel end by the heel end sensor 86, the main clutch is automatically disengaged to stop the driving of the left and right rear wheels 7, the driving of the seedling planting device 23 and the seedling supplying device 24, and the machine body is stopped. At the same time, an alarm (for example, a buzzer or the like) is issued to notify the worker. As a result, the worker sitting on the seat 79 faces backward with respect to the advancing direction of the aircraft, and since it concentrates on the seedling replenishment work, it is difficult to confirm the front of the aircraft and does not notice that the aircraft has reached the end of the heel. Although there is a risk of causing an accident such as a collision with surrounding structures, the dredge end sensor 86 automatically stops the aircraft at the end of the dredge and notifies the end of the dredge by an alarm. The seedling replenishment work can be concentrated on the seedling supply device 24 without worrying about the situation in front of the machine body and the position of the end of the heel, thereby improving the planting work efficiency. The heel end sensor 86 is disposed at a position on the right side with respect to the center of the left and right sides of the fuselage, and the influence of the vertical motion of the fuselage accompanying the vertical movement of the left rear wheel 7 by the rolling cylinder 11 is small. Thus, the upper surface of the ridge can be detected.

  Also, near the steering handle 2, the main clutch lever 87 for manually turning on and off the left and right rear wheels 7, the seedling planting device 23 and the seedling feeding device 24, the seedling planting device 28 and the seedling feeding device 32 are driven. And a planting operation lever 88 for manually turning on and off only. The planting operation lever 88 can be used to operate the lifting hydraulic cylinder 14 to manually lift and lower the machine body. Then, a sensor (detection means) for detecting the operation position of the planting operation lever 88 is provided, and only when the seedling planting device 23 and the seedling supply device 24 are operated in the drive state by the planting operation lever 88, It is configured such that the automatic stop control and alarm of the airframe are activated by the aforementioned heel end sensor 86. As a result, the automatic stop control and alarm of the aircraft can be activated only during planting work, and the aircraft endless sensor 86 is unnecessarily detected by the heel end sensor 86 not detecting the upper surface of the heel when traveling or turning at the heel end. Can be prevented, and the operability is improved. A seating sensor for detecting that an operator is seated on the seat 79 is provided in place of or in combination with the above-described automatic stop control of the machine and the operation of the alarm by the planting operation lever 88. Only when the person is seated, the automatic stop control and warning of the aircraft may be activated. Moreover, it can be set as the structure which a warning is act | operated first by the detection of the end of the hull by the hail end sensor 56, and the body stops automatically after the predetermined time (several seconds later). The airframe may be automatically stopped by stopping the engine 3.

  Further, when the planting operation lever 88 is operated to raise the machine body and turn on the heel, when the heel end sensor 86 is moved up and stored, the heel end sensor 86 is not in the way of turning. It can be turned easily.

  The heel end sensor 86 has a configuration in which a rotation roller 86b is rotatably provided at the lower end of a rotation arm 86a pivotally supported on the base of the machine body. A lower rotation restricting rod is provided at a position below the rotation arm 86a so that the rod end sensor 86 (rotating roller 86b) does not rotate downward more than necessary. When the planting operation lever 88 is operated to raise the machine body in cooperation with the lever 88, the downward rotation restricting rod is moved upward via the operation wire to contact the lower portion of the rotation arm 86a. Thus, the rotating arm 86a is rotated upward to the storage position.

  Left and right seedling platforms 89 are arranged on the left and right sides of the machine body. The left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 have three upper seedling mounting portions 101a, 101b, and lower seedlings on the inner side of the body above the seedling support frame 100, the base of which is rotatably and fixedly provided on the body. A mounting portion 101c is provided.

First, a configuration in which each of the left and right seedling mounts 89 is provided on the machine body so as to be rotatable and fixed will be described.
Since the mounting configuration of the left and right seedling mounting platform 89 with respect to the machine body is bilaterally symmetric, the mounting configuration of the left seedling mounting platform 89 with respect to the aircraft body will be described as a representative. A seedling mounting frame 120 is fixedly welded to the distal end of the left support 20a whose base is fixed to the machine body. The seedling mounting frame 120 includes a cylindrical portion 121 that rotatably supports the lower end portion of the seedling support frame 100, and two first locking holes 122 a and a second locking hole 122 b around the cylindrical portion 121. Is provided. The two first locking holes 122a and the second locking holes 122b are provided at positions 90 degrees apart from the center of the cylindrical portion 121 in plan view.

  On the other hand, the base portion of the vertical fixing pin support plate 123 is welded and fixed to the lower end portion of the seedling support frame 100, and the lock pin 125 is inserted into the through-holes 124 respectively provided in the vertical fixing pin support plate 123 to compress it. The lock 126 is urged by a spring 126 in a direction in which the tip of the lock pin 125 is inserted into the first lock hole 122a and the second lock hole 122b.

  Then, the lock pin 125 is pulled up against the compression spring 126, and each lock hole 122a is inserted from the state where the tip of the lock pin 125 is inserted into the first lock hole 122a or the second lock hole 122b. When the state is pulled out from 122b, the seedling support frame 100 can be rotated around the cylindrical portion 121, and the left seedling mounting platform 89 can be freely rotated. Therefore, when the left seedling mounting base 89 is rotated so that the tip of the lock pin 125 is inserted into the first locking hole 122a, the left seedling mounting base 89 has a transplanting operation state that projects to the left side of the machine body. Become. Further, when the left seedling mounting base 89 is rotated so that the tip of the lock pin 125 is inserted into the second locking hole 122b, the left seedling mounting base 89 is housed inside the body in front of the body. The storage state is reached.

  Accordingly, the respective lock pins 125 of the left and right seedling mounts 89 are lifted upward against the compression spring 126, the left and right seedling mounts 89 are rotated, and the tips of the lock pins 125 are inserted into the first locking holes 122a. When in the retracted state, the left and right seedling mounts 89 are in a transplanting operation state that protrudes from the left and right sides of the seat 79 to the left and right sides of the machine body, and an appropriate transplanting operation with good workability and efficiency can be performed.

  On the other hand, when the left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 are rotated so that the tips of the lock pins 125 are inserted into the second locking holes 122b, the left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 are positioned in front of the airframe ahead of the seats 79. When the vehicle is stored on the inside with the left and right widths narrowed, and the vehicle is traveling on the road, the steering operation of the aircraft is facilitated and the operability of the aircraft is good. In addition, when loading the airframe onto a loading platform such as a truck or when housing the airframe in a barn or the like, the left-right width of the airframe is narrowed, so the airframe can be accommodated in a narrow space.

  The upper seedling loading portion 101a is rotated on the seedling support frame 100 by the upper pivot shaft 102a so that the seedling placement state is directed from the seedling support frame 100 toward the inside of the machine body and to the outside of the machine body of the seedling support frame 100. The middle-stage seedling mounting portion 101b is configured to be freely switchable to a folded storage state facing downward, and the seedling support portion 100b is a seedling that faces the inward body from the seedling support frame 100 on the middle support shaft 102b. It is configured to be able to rotate and switch between a mounted state and a folded storage state that is rotated upward to a position along the inside of the seedling support frame 100 and directed upward. And the lower stage seed mounting part 101c is fixing the base part to the seedling support frame 100 in the seedling mounting state which faced the inward body direction from the seedling support frame 100.

  In addition, each upper seedling mounting section 101a, middle stage seedling mounting section 101b, and lower seedling mounting section 101c can stably mount a cell tray T having a rectangular shape in plan view in which pot portions P are arranged in a vertical and horizontal manner and are integrally formed. 103 are provided. Each of the seedling platforms 103 is formed of a synthetic resin such as plastic on which the cell tray T is mounted, and has a rectangular mounting surface 103b having a plurality of through holes 103a in plan view, and a front and back of the mounting surface 103b. The front and rear walls 103c that are integrally formed upright, the left and right walls 103d that are integrally formed upright to the left and right of the placement surface 103b, and the cell tray T that is placed on the seedling stage 103 are placed in front of the aircraft. A tray that prevents the aircraft from falling forward when it is tilted (when the aircraft is raised by operating the lifting hydraulic cylinder 14 to lower the left and right rear wheels 7 to raise the aircraft) It is comprised by the fall prevention body 103e.

  And the tray fall prevention body 103e is comprised with the housing, and it inserted the lower end part into the upper surface of the front wall 103c (position biased outward from the left-right center of the seedling stand 103 in the body front view). In a state, it is fixed to the front wall 103c.

  In particular, the upper seedling mounting portion 101a is rotated to the outside of the body of the seedling support frame 100 to be in a folded storage state facing downward, and the middle seedling mounting portion 101b is moved to a position along the inside of the seedling support frame 100. If the folding storage state is turned and turned upward, the upper part of the lower seedling mounting part 101c fixed to the seedling support frame 100 becomes an open space, so that the seedlings are put on the seedling mounting base 103. A container such as a large cardboard can be placed, and the work of transplanting a bare seedling that is sold in a container such as a cardboard can be easily and efficiently performed.

Here, the operation in the case where the cell tray T on which the seedling has grown is placed on the left and right seedling mounting stand 89 and the transplanting operation is performed will be described.
The seedling support frame 100 is rotated so that the left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 are positioned on the left and right sides of the seat 79, and the upper seedling mounting unit 101a, the middle seedling mounting unit 101b, and the lower seedling mounting unit 101c are located in the body. A seedling placement state facing the work seat 79 is assumed. Next, the cell tray T on which the seedling has grown is placed on each of the upper seedling placing section 101a, the middle seedling placing section 101b, and the lower seedling placing section 101c. Then, the entire bottom surface portion of the cell tray T is stably received by the mounting surface 103b having a rectangular shape in plan view, and the cell tray T is in a stable state with each of the upper seedling mounting portions 101a, the middle seedling mounting portions 101b, and the lower seedling mounting portions 101c. Placed on.

  In addition, the cell tray T on which the seedling has grown is placed on the cell tray placement portion 91 of the seedling stand 90, and the operator sits on the seat 79, drives each part to advance the machine body, A seedling is taken out from the cell tray T placed on the cell tray placing portion 91 and supplied to each seedling supply cup 25 to perform a transplanting operation. At this time, the upper surface containing the seed of the cell tray T placed on the seedling table 90 is placed in a stable state facing the worker seated on the seat 79, and therefore the seat 79. The operator who is seated on can easily take out the seedling from the cell tray T and supply it to each seedling supply cup 25 to perform the transplanting operation efficiently and easily.

  Next, if there are no seeds in the cell tray T placed on the cell tray placement part 91 of the seedling placing stand 90, the cell tray T containing the seedling is taken out from any one of the upper seedling placing parts 101a of the left and right seedling placing stands 89, The cells are placed on the empty cell tray T on the cell tray mounting portion 91 of the seedling table 90, and the transplanting operation is continued. When the cell tray T placed on the upper seedling mounting portion 101a on the left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 has been used on both the left and right sides, the upper seedling mounting portion 101a is rotated from the seedling mounting state to the outside of the body of the seedling support frame 100. When switched to the folded storage state facing downward, the upper part of the middle seedling placing part 101b becomes an open space, so that the cell tray T containing the seedlings can be easily taken out from the middle seedling placing part 101b, The transplantation operation can be continued by placing the empty cell tray T on the cell tray mounting portion 91 of the table 90 in an overlapping manner from above. When the cell tray T placed on the middle seedling placing portion 101b of the left and right seedling placing stands 89 is also used, the middle stage seedling placing portion 101b is rotated from the seedling placing state to a position along the inside of the seedling support frame 100. When it is switched to the folded storage state facing upward, the upper part of the lower seedling mounting part 101c becomes an open space, so that the cell tray T containing the seedlings can be easily taken out from the lower seedling mounting part 101c, The transplantation operation can be continued by placing the empty cell tray T on the cell tray mounting portion 91 of the table 90 in an overlapping manner from above.

  In this way, the cell tray T on which the seedlings have grown can be placed on the left and right seedling placing platforms 89 and the cell tray placing portion 91, and the transplanting operation can be performed efficiently and efficiently. Further, the upper seedling mounting portion 101a, the middle seedling mounting portion 101b, and the lower seedling mounting portion 101c are configured by a box at a position biased outward from the center of the left and right of the seedling mounting base 103 in front view of the front wall 103c of the body. Since the tray fall prevention body 103e is provided, when the left and right rear wheels 7 are lowered to raise the airframe in order to turn the airframe at the end of the heel U, the airframe assumes a forward leaning posture. It is possible to prevent the placed cell tray T from falling to the front of the machine body with the tray drop prevention body 103e having a simple configuration constituted by a casing, and can perform a favorable turning operation and perform a transplanting operation with good workability.

Next, a description will be given of an operation in a case where a container such as a cardboard containing naked seedlings is placed on the left and right seedling mounting base 89 to perform a transplanting operation.
First, the upper seedling mounting portion 101a is rotated to the outside of the body of the seedling support frame 100 so as to be folded and stored downward, and the middle seedling mounting portion 101b is rotated to a position along the inside of the seedling support frame 100. Thus, the folded storage state is set so that the upper portion of the lower seedling mounting portion 101c fixed to the seedling support frame 100 is an open space. Then, a container such as a large cardboard in which a bare seedling is placed is placed on the seedling stage 103 of the lower seedling stage 101c. Then, naked seedlings are also placed in the internal space of the seedling table 90, and the operator sits on the seat 79, drives each part to advance the machine body, sequentially removes the naked seedlings from the seedling table 90, and each seedling. It is supplied to the supply cup 25 and transplanted. At this time, since the seedling table 90 is provided at an upper position in the center where the seedling supply cup 25 of the seedling supply device 24 moves around, the worker sitting on the seat 79 can easily bare the seedling table 90 from the seedling table 90. The seedlings can be taken out and supplied to each seedling supply cup 25 to perform the transplanting operation efficiently and easily.

  At this time, since a container such as a large cardboard containing naked seedlings is placed on the lower seedling mounting portion 101c fixed to the seedling support frame 100, the container such as a large cardboard containing naked seedlings is stable. It can be placed in a state, and a good seedling removal operation can be performed, resulting in high work efficiency.

Next, when there are no bare seedlings in the seedling stand 90, the bare seedlings are taken out from the cardboard container placed on the right and left seedling stand 89 and transferred to the seedling stand 90, and the transplanting operation is continued. To do.
In addition, since the upper stage seed placement part 101a is rotated from the seedling placement state to the outside of the body of the seedling support frame 100 and switched to the folded storage state facing downward, the upper stage seed placement part 101a is supported in the folded storage state. Since it does not protrude upward from the frame 100, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the machine body height is increased and the upper seedling mounting portion 101a is in contact with another object and is damaged.

  Next, when the machine body is loaded on a truck or stored in a warehouse, the seedling support frame 100 is released, the seedling support frame 100 is rotated, and the left and right seedling support platforms 89 are 90 degrees. When the seedling stand support frame 100 is fixed again in a state where it rotates and comes to the front position of the machine body, the left and right seedling support platforms 89 are configured to be substantially within the lateral width of the machine body. In this way, the body width can be reduced with a simple configuration, loading into a truck and storage in a warehouse are easy, and workability is good.

Next, another example of the left and right seedling mounts 89 different from the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

It is configured.

  The middle frame 111 is configured by welding and fixing the upper part of the middle stage insertion support rod 111b fitted into the lower frame 110 to the lower part of the middle stage upper pipe part 111a made of pipe material. Three middle lower through-holes 111c are provided in the collar 111b. On the other hand, a lower through hole 110a having the same diameter as the middle lower through hole 111c of the middle insertion support rod 111b is provided at the upper end of the lower frame 110, and the lower insertion hole 111a of the middle insertion support rod 111b is provided in the lower through hole 110a of the lower frame 110. The vertical position of the middle frame 111 relative to the lower frame 110 can be adjusted and fixed by aligning the vertical position of any of the middle lower through-holes 111c and penetrating the locking pin 113a. That is, a configuration in which the vertical height of the middle seedling mounting portion 101b supported by the middle frame 111 can be adjusted to three levels with respect to the lower seedling placing portion 101c supported by the lower frame 110 (ie, the lower seedling placing portion 101c and the middle seedling seedling). The configuration is such that the interval between the mounting portions 101b can be changed.

  The upper frame 112 is configured by welding and fixing the upper portion of the upper insertion support rod 112b that fits inside the middle upper pipe portion 111a of the middle frame 111 at the lower portion of the upper upper pipe portion 112a made of pipe material. The upper insertion support rod 112b is provided with three upper through holes 112c. On the other hand, a middle upper through hole 111a having the same diameter as the upper through hole 112c of the upper insertion support rod 112b is provided at the upper end of the middle upper pipe portion 111a of the middle frame 111, and the middle upper through hole 111a of the middle frame 111 is provided. The upper position of the upper frame 112 with respect to the middle frame 111 is adjustable and fixed by aligning the upper and lower positions of any of the upper through holes 112c of the upper insertion support rod 112b with the locking pin 113b. That is, a configuration in which the vertical height of the upper seedling mounting portion 101a supported by the upper frame 112 can be adjusted to three levels with respect to the middle seedling mounting portion 101b supported by the middle frame 111 (that is, the middle seedling mounting portion 101b and the upper seedling mounting portion). The configuration is such that the interval between the mounting portions 101a can be changed.

  Accordingly, in the transplanting operation, the operator can adjust the intervals among the lower seedling mounting portion 101c, the middle seedling mounting portion 101b, and the upper seedling mounting portion 101a according to the type of seedling to be transplanted, the difference in the height of the seedling, etc. Transplantation can be performed with good quality and properness.

Furthermore, another example of the left and right seedling mounting platform 89 different from the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 27 is a perspective view of the left seedling stage 89, and the right seedling stage 89 has the same configuration as the left seedling stage 89 in the left-right symmetry. explain.

  In this embodiment, instead of the tray drop blocker 103e, each tray mount blocker 130 that locks the cell tray T mounted on the seedling mount 103 and prevents it from moving left and right and back and forth is provided. An example in which the base 103 is detachably provided is shown.

  The tray movement blocking body 130 is composed of a lateral movement blocking housing 130a whose front and rear ends are bent downward, and a short longitudinal movement blocking housing 130b which is welded and fixed in a direction perpendicular to the lateral movement blocking housing 130a. The forward / backward movement prevention housing 130b is biased to one side from the front / rear center position of the lateral movement prevention housing 130a (to the rear side of the machine body) and fixedly welded. Further, the tray movement blocking body 130 is mounted at a position biased from the center position to the inward side (seat 79 side) in the left-right direction of each seedling mounting base 103.

  Then, the front and rear ends bent downward of the lateral movement prevention housing 130a are inserted into the holes 103h provided in the front and rear walls 103c, and the pin 103i that can be manually pulled out by the operator is fixed to the end protruding downward. ing. Therefore, if the pin 103i is removed, the tray movement blocking body 130 can be easily removed, and for example, a box such as a cardboard containing seedlings can be placed on the seedling mounting table 103.

  In particular, the upper seedling mounting portion 101a is rotated to the outside of the body of the seedling support frame 100 to be in a folded storage state facing downward, and the middle seedling mounting portion 101b is rotated to a position along the inside of the seedling support frame 100. If the tray storage blocker 130 of the lower seedling mounting portion 101c is removed by folding the storage unit facing upward, the upper portion of the lower seedling mounting portion 101c fixed to the seedling support frame 100 becomes an open space. Therefore, a container such as a large cardboard containing seedlings can be placed on the seedling stage 103, and the operation of transplanting a bare seedling that is sold in a container such as a cardboard can be carried out easily and efficiently. Yes.

Here, the operation in the case where the cell tray T on which the seedling has grown is placed on the left and right seedling mounting stand 89 and the transplanting operation is performed will be described.
The seedling support frame 100 is rotated so that the left and right seedling mounting platforms 89 are positioned on the left and right sides of the seat 79, and the upper seedling mounting unit 101a, the middle seedling mounting unit 101b, and the lower seedling mounting unit 101c are located in the body. A seedling placement state facing the work seat 79 is assumed. Next, in the cell tray T on which the seedling has grown, the bottom side recesses formed in the vertical and horizontal directions between the pot parts P are placed on the horizontal movement blocking body 130a and the forward / backward movement blocking body 130b of the tray movement blocking body 130 from above. In the fitted state, it is placed on each upper seedling placing part 101a, middle seedling placing part 101b, and lower seedling placing part 101c. Then, the entire bottom surface portion of the cell tray T is stably received by the mounting surface 103b having a rectangular shape in plan view, and the bottom surface 130b of the tray movement blocking body 130 is formed vertically between the pot portions P. Since it fits in the side dent, the cell tray T is prevented from laterally moving laterally, and the forward / backward movement blocking body 130b of the tray movement blocker 130 is fitted in the bottom side dent formed between the pot portions P. Therefore, the cell tray T is prevented from moving back and forth, and the cell tray T is stably and accurately placed on each upper seedling placing portion 101a, middle seedling placing portion 101b, and lower seedling placing portion 101c.

  In particular, the tray movement blocking body 130 is a simple structure in which the lateral movement blocking housing 130a and the forward / backward movement blocking housing 130b are configured in a cross shape, so that it is inexpensive and the cell tray T is securely locked and moved. And the situation where the cell tray T placed from the upper seedling placement part 101a, the middle seedling placement part 101b, and the lower seedling placement part 101c falls down can be accurately avoided, and a good transplanting operation can be performed. Further, since the tray movement blocking body 130 is configured in a cross shape by a lateral movement blocking body 130a and a longitudinal movement blocking body 130b, the lateral movement blocking body 130a and the forward / backward movement blocking body 130b of the tray movement blocking body 130 are It fits into the bottom side recesses of various standard cell trays T having different volumes of the pot part P, and securely locks the various standard cell trays T to each upper seedling mounting part 101a, middle stage seedling mounting part 101b and lower seedling mounting. It can be stably placed on the portion 101c.

  Since the tray movement blocking body 130 is mounted at a position biased from the center position to the inward side (seat 79 side) in the left-right direction of the body of each seedling platform 103, each worker sitting on the seat 79 has each When the cell tray T is taken out from the seedling stage 103 of the upper stage seedling part 101a, the middle stage seedling part 101b, and the lower stage seedling part 101c, the cell tray T is lifted from the inside of the seedling stage 103. The cell tray T can be easily taken out from the seedling stage 103, and the workability is good. Furthermore, since the forward / backward movement-preventing casing 130b having a short length is provided so as to be biased to one side (on the rear side of the machine body) from the front / rear central position of the lateral movement-preventing casing 130a, the operator who is seated on the seat 79 can be When the cell tray T is taken out from the seedling platform 103 of the seedling platform 101a, the middle seedling platform 101b, and the lower seedling platform 101c, the side of the seedling platform 103 on which the lateral movement blocking housing 130a is provided (rear side of the machine body) By lifting the cell tray T from the side), the lateral movement blocking housing 130a is surely separated from the irregularities on the bottom surface of the cell tray T, so that the cell tray T can be taken out from the seedling stage 103 more easily and the workability is good. .
