The invention relates to a device for vertically clamping seedlings of
kelp in rows. The direction of
seedling ropes is in the left-right direction, the direction horizontally perpendicular to the direction of the
seedling ropes is in the front-back direction, and the device comprises
seedling clamping devices and a seedling boxes. The seedling clamping devices comprise left seedling clamping fingers and right seedling clamping fingers, the ends of the left seedling clamping fingers and the right seedling clamping fingers are downward to be ellipsoidal when the left seedling clamping fingers and the right seedling clamping fingers are folded, a groove is formed in each seedling clamping finger in the front-back direction, and the cross section generated when the pair of grooves of each seedling clamping device is folded is square or polygonal when the pair of grooves is folded to be used for containing
kelp roots and stems. The seedling boxes are located below the corresponding seedling clamping devices,
kelp seedlings are horizontally placed in the seedling boxes in the front-back direction, and when the left seedling clamping fingers and the right seedling clamping fingers of theseedling clamping devices clamp the kelp seedlings and upwards penetrate through gaps of one strand of seedling ropes, the kelp seedlings are in a Z shape in the left-right
view angle. Due to the fact that kelp seedlings are horizontally placed in the seedling boxes, the seedling clamping direction is horizontal, a
root system protector can be omitted, the overall structure of the device is simplified, and meanwhile the problem that due to the
root system protector, the needed gap opening degree among three strands of seedling ropes is too large, and consequently equipment arrangement is difficult is solved.
