PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter which can smoothly guide the seedlings in the seedling-planting members.SOLUTION: In the seedling transplanter, there are disposed a seedling-planting device (5) for upward or downward moving seedling-planting members (20) with upward or downward moving mechanisms (21) on prescribed operation tracks to plant the seedlings in a field, and a seedling supply device (6) for supplying the seedlings to the seedling-planting device (5). In the seedling supply device (6) there are disposed a plurality of seedling receivers (22) for receiving the seedlings from the upper sides to store the seedlings on the insides, moving mechanisms (23) for circularly moving the seedling receivers (22) so as to pass above the seedling-planting members (20), and opening mechanisms (24) for opening the bottom portions of the seedling receivers (22) at places above the seedling-planting members (20) to drop the seedlings received on the insides to supply the seedlings to the seedling-planting members (20), and decentered seedling-dropping holes (22b) at the lower ends of the seedling receivers (22).COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明は、苗植付け体を上下動機構により所定の作動軌跡で上下動させて圃場に苗を植え付ける苗植付装置と、苗植付装置に苗を供給する苗供給装置を設け、苗供給装置には、苗を上方から受け入れて内側に収容する複数の苗収容体と、苗収容体を苗植付け体の上方を通過するように周回移動させる移動機構と、苗植付け体の上方位置で苗収容体の底部を開放して内側に収容した苗を落下させて苗植付け体に苗を供給する開放機構を設けた苗植機において、苗を苗植付け体内に円滑に案内できるようにすることを課題とする。【解決手段】 苗植機において、苗収容体(22)内の下端の苗落下孔(22b)を偏心させた。【選択図】 図7
