PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanting machine in which a seedling picking member can be held without increasing the number of parts as much as possible and the turning of a link mechanism can be regulated.SOLUTION: A seedling transplanting machine includes a seedling planting unit attached to the rear of a traveling vehicle body traveling the field and planting seedlings and a movable preliminary seedling frame 8 provided at the front part of the traveling vehicle body. The movable preliminary seedling frame 8 includes: two or more preliminary seedling-loading tables 102 for mounting the seedlings replenished to the seedling planting part a link mechanism 103 switchable between a deployment mode with two or more preliminary seedling-loading tables 102 arranged in the longitudinal direction and a stacking mode with the two or more preliminary seedling-loading tables 102 vertically arranged in the longitudinal direction and a holding member 104 for holding the seedling picking member in order to catch the seedlings in the preliminary seedling-loading tables 102. The holding member 104 is turnably mounted around the axial center circumference parallel in the longitudinal direction to the preliminary seedling-loading tables 102. The holding member 104 includes a lock part 112 for regulating the switching of the link mechanism 103 when approaching the preliminary seedling-loading tables 102.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】部品点数が極力増加することなく苗取部材を保持できるとともにリンク機構の回動を規制することができる苗移植機を提供する。【解決手段】苗移植機は、圃場を走行する走行車体の後部に装着され苗を植え付ける苗植付部と、走行車体の前部に設けられた可動式予備苗枠8とを備える。可動式予備苗枠8は、苗植付部に補充する苗を載置する複数の予備苗載台102と、複数の予備苗載台102が前後方向に並ぶ展開形態と複数の予備苗載台102が前後方向に上下方向に並ぶ積層形態とに切り替え可能なリンク機構103と、予備苗載台102上の苗を掬い取るための苗取部材を保持する保持部材104とを備える。保持部材104は、予備苗載台102に対して前後方向に平行な軸心回りに回動自在に取り付けられる。保持部材104は予備苗載台102に近付くとリンク機構103の切り替えを規制するロック部112を備える。【選択図】図7
