PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a planting locus long in the longitudinal direction by a seedling planting body, using a simple and compact mechanism, and to obtain a seedling planting apparatus that readily carries out bottom planting of vine seedling, and the like, in the seedling planting body for retaining and planting sweet potato seedlings, such as vine seedlings.SOLUTION: The seedling planting body for retaining, conveying and planting seedlings is supported by connection points (Q1) and (Q2) of two places. The connection point (Q1) at a side close to a seedling-holding position is connected through a connection link (21), to a first driver (20) rotating and driving about a shaft (19) which does not move to the machine-body side. The connection point (Q2) at a side remote from the seedling holding position is connected to a second driver (23) which rotates and drives about a shaft (22) which does not move to the machine-body side. The movement stroke of the connection point (Q1) on the side close to the seedling-holding position is made larger than that of the connection point (Q2) at the side which is far from the seedling-holding position. The first and the second drivers (20) and (23) are driven and rotated mutually in the reverse directions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】 この発明の課題は、つる苗などの甘薯苗を保持して植え付ける苗植付体において、この苗植付体による前後方向に長い植付軌跡を簡単でコンパクトな機構で可能とし、つる苗等の船底植えが容易に行える苗植付装置を具現することにある。【解決手段】 本発明は、苗を保持して搬送し植え付ける苗植付体を2箇所の連結点(Q1),(Q2)で支持する。苗保持位置に近い側の連結点(Q1)は、機体側の移動しない軸(19)回りに回転駆動する第1の駆動体(20)に連結リンク(21)を介して連結する。苗保持位置に遠い側の連結点(Q2)は、機体側の移動しない軸(22)回りに回転駆動する第2の駆動体(23)に連結する。前記近い側の連結点(Q1)の移動ストロークを前記遠い側の連結点(Q2)のストロークよりも大きくし、第1及び第2の駆動体(20),(23)は、互いに逆方向に駆動回転する。【選択図】 図3
