SEEDLING PLANTING MECHANISM FOR TRANSPLANTING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling planting mechanism for a transplanting apparatus capable of planting roots of seedling in fixed depth while guiding the roots into a pot of a raising panel by using a negative pressure. SOLUTION: An aspirator 12 for sucking roots of seedling in a pot of a raising panel 5 is installed below the raising panel 5 of a transplanting apparatus. The aspirator 12 is equipped with a negative pressure generator 14 such as an air ejector, a suction blower or a vacuum pump and sucks the roots of the seedling from the undersurface of the pot of the raising panel 5 correctly in the pot. After a chuck unit 8 is opened, a sponge part 11 of seedling is sucked into fixed depth.
