PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a planting machine which can form opening portions suitable for seed bulbs in a covering material and accurately plant the seed bulbs in a field from the opening portions.SOLUTION: The planting machine 1 has a travel portion 14, a planting portion 17 for planting the seed bulbs G, and a driving portion 13 for driving the travel portion 14 and the planting portion 17 through a power transmission mechanism 16, and used for planting the seed bulbs G. The planting portion 17 comprises a pair of right and left endless members 3 rotation-supported on rotation support portions disposed at tip positions of polygonal on the side view, respectively, a plurality of holding opening means 20 disposed between the right and left endless members 3, 3 to hold the seed bulbs G and form the opening portions in the covering material 10 covering the surface of a field, and a pushing out device 4 for pushing out the seed bulbs G held with the holding opening means 20 to the opening portions formed by holding opening means 20 to plant the seed bulbs G in the field. The power transmission mechanism 16 is formed so that the travel speed of the travel portion 14 synchronizes with the rotation speed of the endless members 3 of the planting portion 17.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】被覆材に種球に適した開孔部を形成して、当該開孔部から圃場に種球を的確に植付けることができる植付機を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】走行部14と、種球Gを植付ける植付部17と、前記走行部14と前記植付部17に動力伝達機構16を介して駆動する駆動部13とを有し、種球Gの植付けを行う植付機1であって、前記植付部17は、側面視多角形状の頂部位置にそれぞれ設けられる回転支持部に回転支持される左右一対の無端体3と、前記左右の無端体3・3間に複数架設され、種球Gを保持するとともに圃場面に被覆した被覆材10に開孔部を形成する保持開孔手段20と、保持開孔手段20による開孔部に、当該保持開孔手段20に保持された種球Gを押付けて圃場に植付ける押出装置4とを備え、前記走行部14の走行速度と、前記植付部17の無端体3の回転速度とが同調するように、前記動力伝達機構16を構成した。【選択図】図3
