RICE TRANSPLANTER

To provide a rice transplanter capable of automatically adjusting an amount of taken-out seedlings or adjusting the planting depth, from the outside.SOLUTION: A rice transplanter includes: an amount-of-taken-out-seedling adjustment mechanism 4 that adjusts an amount of taken-out seedlings when seedlings placed on a seedling tray 12 are taken out by a planting claw 301; an amount-of-taken-out-seedling manual adjustment unit 6 that manually adjusts the amount of seedlings taken out by the amount-of-taken-out-seedling adjustment mechanism 4 based on an operation of an operator; and an amount-of-taken-out-seedling automatic adjustment unit 7 that automatically adjusts the amount of seedlings taken out by the amount-of-taken-out-seedling adjustment mechanism 4 based on an external signal. When the amount of taken-out seedlings is automatically adjusted by the amount-of-taken-out-seedling automatic adjustment unit 7, the automatic adjustment takes precedence over the manual adjustment of the amount of taken-out seedlings performed by the amount-of-taken-out-seedling manual adjustment unit 6 and, after termination of the automatic adjustment, the amount-of-taken-out-seedling manual adjustment unit 6 is allowed to change the amount of taken-out seedlings adjusted by the amount-of-taken-out-seedling automatic adjustment unit 7.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】苗取り量の調節または植付け深さの調節が外部から自動調節可能な田植機の提供。【解決手段】田植機は、苗載せ台１２に載置された苗が植付け爪３０１によって取り出される際の苗取り量を調節する苗取り量調節機構４と、苗取り量調節機構４による苗取り量の調節を操作者の操作に基づいて手動で実行する苗取り量手動調節ユニット６と、苗取り量調節機構４による苗取り量の調節を外部信号に基づいて自動で実行する苗取り量自動調節ユニット７と、を備える。苗取り量自動調節ユニット７によって苗取り量の自動調節が実行されると、苗取り量手動調節ユニット６によって実行される苗取り量の手動調節に自動調節が優先し、かつ、自動調節の終了後に、苗取り量自動調節ユニット７によって調節された苗取り量を苗取り量手動調節ユニット６によって変更することが許可される。【選択図】図１
