Plant transplanting device

Abstract

Provided is a plant transplanting device that achieves rapid and stable transplanting with a simple structure and low cost, prevents damage to plants, and also is easily automated. A plant transplanting device (100) is for transplanting a seedbed (B) from a plant holder (110) having a plurality of holder seedbed holding holes (111) that pass through in a vertical direction disposed in a horizontal direction to a growing pallet (120) having a plurality of pallet seedbed holding holes (121) passing through in the vertical direction disposed in the horizontal direction. The plant transplanting device (100) is provided with: a holder holding mechanism (130) for holding the plant holder (110); a pallet holding mechanism (140) for holding the growing pallet (120) above the holder holding position by the holder holding mechanism (130); and a push-up mechanism (150) for pushing the seedbeds (B) held in the holder seedbed holding holes (111) upward and inserting the same into pallet seedbed holding holes (121).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a plant transplanting device for transplanting a seedbed from a plant holder to a cultivation tray. Background technique [0002] In the past, the known automatic planting device (for example, referring to Patent Document 1) of the hydroponic seedlings formed by the seedbed conveyor belt, the planting plate conveyor belt, several transfer opening and closing fixtures, several insertion opening and closing fixtures, and working mechanism (for example, referring to Patent Document 1), the seedbed conveyor belt Perform intermittent rotation and left and right reciprocating movement to transfer the seedbed. The planting plate conveyor belt is arranged under the seedbed conveyor belt and performs intermittent rotation to transfer the planting plate. Several transfer opening and closing fixtures are located above the front end of the seedbed conveyor belt and clamp respectively Hold and cut several bed pieces of the front row...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the automatic planting device of Patent Document 1, as a pre-process of setting the seedbed on the automatic planting device, although it is necessary to take out the seedbed from the seedling container filled with water for germinating the plant seeds sown on the seedbed, Since the seedbed is formed of a spongy material etc. and is relatively soft, it is difficult to automate the process of taking out the seedbed from the seedling raising container. Since it needs to be done manually, the workload is large. The problem that the seedbed is easily polluted by bacteria

[0005] In addition, since the seedbed is manipulated by inserting the opening and closing jig to grab one seedbed from above, when the seedbed is grasped by inserting the opening and closing jig, there is also a possibility that the opening and closing jig may be inserted to damage the seedbed that protrudes laterally from the seedbed. Plant Bud Problems

[0006] In addition, after grasping the seedbed by inserting the holding claw of the opening and closing fixture and inserting it in the hole of the planting plate, due to the need to open and insert the holding claw of the opening and closing fixture from left to right, the peripheral edge of the hole of the planting plate needs to be provided with claws for avoiding Therefore, there is also the problem that the generally popular colonization plate with round holes cannot be used and the cost increases

[0007] In addition, there is also a problem that it is difficult to reliably grasp the soft seedbed by transferring or inserting the opening and closing jig, and it is difficult to reliably manipulate the seedbed.

[0008] In addition, when manipulating the seedbed, since the seedbed needs to be released by opening the transfer opening and closing jig or inserting the opening and closing jig after grasping the seedbed by transferring the opening and closing jig or inserting the opening and closing jig, there is also a time spent on transplantation. The problem

[0009] In addition, since the transfer opening and closing jig or insertion opening and closing jig for grasping and manipulating the seedbed is required, there are also problems in that the structure of the device becomes complicated, failure is prone to occur, and the price is high.
