摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved nursery tray and apparatus for handling such a nursery tray during propagating and growing periods, the tray (10) comprising a plurality of cells (18) in a predetermined array having two opposed side walls (14, 15) and two opposed end walls (16, 17), the tray being characterized by a plurality of spaced slots (28) located in opposed walls (14, 15, 16, 17) with each slot (28) being aligned with a space between two of said cells (18) and each slot (28) having an open end at a lower edge of the walls (14, 15, 16, 17) in which the slots are formed, the apparatus for handling such trays being characterized by support members (40) interconnected by chains (46) into an endless configuration capable of being driven by drive means (42) such that the support members move along guideways (41), the support members (40) each having at least one elevated tray engagement part (45) configured to engage in tray edge formations such as the slots (28) to support the trays in a manner preventing obstruction of their lower faces.
摘要:
The present specification discloses apparatus for transplanting seedlings (24) from a tray (6) that has a plurality of seedling retaining cells (34), into a prepared ground planting position, the apparatus having tray holding means (1), seedling eject means (15, 16, 17) for removing one or more seedlings (24) from the seedling retaining cells (34), seedling delivery means (26, 27, 29) for receiving a seedling (24) ejected from the tray (6) and delivering same via a travel path to a ground planting preparation device (78) arranged to at least partly prepare said ground planting position, seedling holding means (100) associated with the ground planting preparation device arranged to hold a seedling delivered by said seedling delivery means (26, 27, 29), plant plug removal means (82, 83, 85) arranged between said seedling eject means (15, 16, 17) and said seedling holding means (100) to remove any plant plug (84) not containing a seedling viable for planting from said travel path prior to reaching said seedling holding means (100), and seedling planting means (89) to move a said seedling from said seedling holding means (100) to the prepared ground planting position in response to said apparatus having travelled a predetermined distance over the ground.

摘要:
A seedling planting arrangement adapted to handle seedlings (78) grown in suitable support means whereby the seedlings (78) are correctly planted in a field planting position, the arrangement comprising means for indexing (49) the seedling support means in sequence past a transfer mechanism (14), the transfer mechanism (14) ejecting the seedlings (78) and transferring same to a handling device (15) comprising rotatable members (60, 61), a first one of the rotatable members (60) holding the seedlings (78) by their root sections with the second of the rotatable members (61) being adapted to receive the seedlings (78) from the first rotatable member (60) and hold same by their foliage regions, the second rotatable member (61) releasing the seedlings (78) into a prepared planting position formed by a plough shoe (79) or the like.
摘要:
Apparatus for propagation of plant seedlings including a cell chain comprising a series of cells (12) rigidly connected to form a group of aligned cells (10, 11) each group being connected in pivotal relation to another group by a link cell (121) to form a continuous chain of cells able to be mechanically handled by transport devices or concertined into a solid block of cells having little or no wastage of space.
摘要:
The present application discloses apparatus for transferring seedlings automatically from a tray in which they have been grown in a plurality of individual cells, and planting such seedlings into a prepared ground planting position, the apparatus having a support frame (10) for supporting trays vertically for movement down to an indexing mechanism (118) and a plant eject mechanism (46, 47, 48), a horizontal plant retainer conveyor (56, 57) arranged to receive seedlings ejected from the trays in a horizontal configuration and to deliver same to transfer mechanism (85), the transfer mechanism (85) sequentially carrying the seedlings from the retainer conveyor (56, 57) to a planting mechanism (108, 109, 86) and in doing so reorienting the plane of the seedlings through 90 .
