PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a seedling planting apparatus, and to improve the planting capability.SOLUTION: The seedling planting apparatus includes: a rotator (50) which rotates on the inner peripheral side of a fixing support body (79) a final shaft (82) in the lateral direction rotatably disposed at a position eccentric to the center of rotation of the rotator (50) a seedling planting implement (49) attached to a projecting part of the final shaft projecting from the rotator (50) and a final shaft rotation transmission mechanism for rotating the final shaft (82) relative to the rotator (50) according to the rotation of the rotator (50). The seedling planting apparatus also includes a plurality of support shafts (83) in the lateral direction at positions eccentric to the center of rotation of the rotator (50) and different from the position of the final shaft (82). Bearings (80) attached to the support shafts (83) rotatably support the rotator (50) in contact with the inner periphery of the fixing support body (79).COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 苗植付装置の小型化を図り、ひいては植付性能の向上を図ることを課題とする。【解決手段】 固定支持体(79)の内周側で回転する回転体(50)を設け、該回転体(50)の回転中心に対し偏心した位置に左右方向の最終軸(82)を回転自在に設け、回転体(50)から突出する最終軸(82)の突出部に苗植付具(49)を取り付け、回転体(50)の回転に伴って該回転体(50)に対して最終軸(82)を回転させる最終軸回転伝達機構を設けた苗植付装置において、回転体(50)の回転中心に対し偏心した位置で且つ最終軸(82)とは異なる位置に左右方向の支持軸(83)を複数設け、該支持軸(83)に設けた軸受(80)が固定支持体(79)の内周部に接触して回転体(50)を回転自在に支持した。【選択図】図12
