PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanter capable of ensuring seedling planting accuracy and reducing seedling feeding work load in seedling feeding work feeding seedings to a seedling supply device individually from a seedling tray or the like.SOLUTION: A transplanter includes on a travel vehicle body travelling in a field: a seedling supply device 3 opening a seedling conveyance member 2 and dropping a seedling at a predetermined position while moving circularly a plurality of the seedling conveyance members receiving vegetable seedlings and a seedling planting device 4 receiving a seedling from the seedling supply device 3 and planting the seedling in a field. The seedling supply device 3 includes a seedling feeding device 11 feeding a seedling to the seedling conveyance member 2. The seedling feeding device 11 includes: a storage part 12 storing seedlings and an aligning/adjusting part 13 aligning a seedling from the storage part 12 and conveying/feeding the seedling. Thus, work feeding seedlings to the seedling conveyance members one by one is unnecessary and seedlings are surely aligned/adjusted, thereby both reduction of work load and ensured planting accuracy are achieved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】苗トレイ等から苗供給装置に苗を個々に投入する苗投入作業について、苗植付精度の確保とともに、苗投入作業負荷の軽減を可能とする移植機を提供する。【解決手段】移植機は、野菜苗を受ける複数の苗搬送部材(2)を周回移動させつつ所定位置で開放して苗を落下させる苗供給装置(3)と、この苗供給装置(3)から苗を受けて圃場に植え付ける苗植付装置(4)とを圃場走行する走行車体に設けて構成され、苗供給装置(3)は、苗搬送部材(2)に苗を投入する苗投入装置(11)を備え、この苗投入装置(11)は、苗を貯留する貯留部(12)と、この貯留部(12)から苗を整列して搬送投入する整列搬送部(13)とから構成することにより、苗を一つ一つ苗搬送部材に投入する作業が不要となり、かつ、苗の整列調整が確保されるので、作業負荷の軽減と植付精度の確保をともに可能とするものである。【選択図】図1
