PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pot seedling transplanter which can eliminate a time lag between the operation of a levee clutch and the stop/restart of planting and does not need the operation of the levee clutch considering the time lag.SOLUTION: The pot seedling transplanter includes a seedling box-conveying means (conveying tines), seedling push-out bars, a seedling-receiving table, a jump-out plate, and a levee crutch 15 for continuing or discontinuing the transmission of power to a laterally seedling-conveying belt. When the levee clutch 15 is disengaged on the planting of a pot seedling close to a levee, the operations of these members are stopped, and only a planting tine is continuously operated. Thereby, a planting operation reducing the planting width (the number of rows) of the pot seedlings is capable, and a time lag between the operations of the clutch and the stop/restart of the planting can be eliminated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】畦クラッチの操作と植え付けの停止/再開の時間差を解消し、該時間差を考慮した畦クラッチの操作を必要としないポット苗移植機を提供する。【解決手段】苗箱送り手段(送り爪)、苗押出棒、苗受け台、跳ね出し板、苗横送りベルトへの動力伝達を断続する畦クラッチ15を設置する。畦際近くで植え付けするとき、畦クラッチ15を切ると、これらの部材の作動が停止し、植付爪のみが作動を継続する。従って、ポット苗の植付幅(条数)を減らした植え付けが可能で、しかもクラッチの操作と植え付けの停止/再開の時間差が解消される。【選択図】図2
