PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanter that enables planting of plural rows with a narrow interrow space distance.SOLUTION: A transplanter comprises planting tools (20) for planting plural rows and a seedling feeding device (6). The planting tool (20) formed of a cylindrical member is configured to be openable at its bottom edge, and two rows of the planting tools are supported on both sides of a vertical movement mechanism (21). The feeding device (6) comprises a circular movement mechanism (23) for circularly moving a plurality of housing bodies (22) and a drop feeding mechanism (24) for dropping a transplanting plant at a position of the corresponding planting tool (20) to each of the plurality of housing bodies (22). Each lower end side of the left and right planting tools (20) is obliquely disposed so as to be close to each other. For a housing unit (25) which is a unit of a group of the continuing housing bodies (22) with an entire number of rows, the drop feeding mechanism (24) drops and feeds the transplanting plants with different timings for each of the drop feeding positions of all planting tools (20) and thereby enabling stable planting with narrow interrow spacing.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】条間距離が狭い多条植付けを可能とする移植機を提供する。【解決手段】移植機は、多条植付用の植付具(20)と、苗の供給装置(6)とを備え、植付具(20)は筒状部材により、その下端を開放可能に構成した上で、2条分を上下動機構(21)の両側に支持し、また、上記供給装置(6)は、複数の収容体(22)を周回移動させる周回移動機構(23)と、上記複数の収容体(22)のそれぞれを対応する植付具(20)の位置で移植物を落下させる落下供給機構(24)とを備えて構成され、上記左右の植付具(20)は、それぞれの下端側を互いに近づけて傾斜配置し、上記落下供給機構(24)は、全条数分が連続する収容体(22)の一群を単位とする収容ユニット(25)について、全植付具(20)それぞれの落下供給位置で互いに異なるタイミングで移植物を落下供給することにより、狭い条間の安定植付けを可能とするものである。【選択図】図4
