Automatic planting of seedlings taken from solid seedling boxes

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically transferring seedlings from a box having a plurality of individual cells in which seedlings grow, and sowing such seedlings in a reserved ground seeding position, wherein the apparatus of the present invention provides a split mechanism (118). And a support frame 10 for vertically supporting the box so as to move downward to the seedling discharge means 46, 47, and 48, and to receive the seedlings discharged from the box in a horizontal configuration and transfer them to the transfer mechanism 85. Horizontal seedling retainer conveyors 56, 57 arranged to be secured. The transfer mechanism 85 sequentially transfers the seedlings from the retainer conveyors 56 and 57 to the seeding mechanisms 108, 109 and 86 and rotates the plane of the seedlings by 90 degrees to reposition the seedlings.
