초록 ▼

A system for transplanting plants from a seedling tray to a plant tray includes a gripper head having gripper arms which are selectively movable between gripping and release positions. The gripper head moves in combination with a pusher assembly which pushes the plug out of the seedling tray. A frame mounts the gripper head and pusher assembly for movement relative to a seedling tray. The gripper head includes a number of unique features, ensuring that the gripper head gently grips the plant plug, such that the plant plug is not damaged. Further, the pusher assembly "sweeps" a plug out of the compartment such that the gripper head may grip it. In further embodiments, plural units may be used in combination to increase the speed of operation of the inventive system.

1. A plant transplant system comprising: a frame extending along a longitudinal axis; a gripper head selectively actuatable to grip or release a plant, said gripper head being movable longitudinally along said frame; a pusher assembly, said pusher assembly being selectively actuatable to push seedlings out of a compartment on a seedling tray where they can then be gripped by said gripper head, said pusher assembly being movable longitudinally along said frame; and a seedling conveyor for conveying seedling trays laterally mounted between said gripper head and said pusher assembly, and a plant tray conveyor for conveying plant trays laterally also mounted between said gripper head and said pusher assembly. 2. A transplant system as recited in claim 1, wherein a timing mechanism moves said gripper head and said pusher assembly together longitudinally along said frame. 3. A transplant system as recited in claim 1, wherein a sensor determines whether a live seedling is in a plug removed from the seedling tray. 4. A transplant system as recited in claim 1, wherein said seedling conveyor is positioned vertically above said plant conveyor. 5. A transplant system as recited in claim 1, wherein said gripper head consists of two gripper arms, and a selectively adjustable plurality of pins which move relative to said gripper arms to cam said gripper arms to gripping and releasing positions. 6. A transplant system as recited in claim 5, wherein said gripper arms have generally parallel lower portions, and upper angled portions, said pins consisting of two outer pins positioned outwardly of said angled portions and an inner pin positioned between said angled portions, movement of said outer pins downwardly along said angled portions causing said parallel lower portions to be forced together to grip a plant, and movement of said inner pin upwardly between said angled portions causing said angled portions to move away from each other, and in turn causing said gripper portions to move away from each other. 7. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said pusher assembly consists of two spring arms having generally parallel lower portions, and upper angled portions which extend to end points which are relatively adjacent to each in a relaxed position, movement of said spring arms into a drainage hole of a seedling tray causing said angled portions to be forced across each other, thus sweeping a seedling plug out of a seedling tray compartment. 8. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 7, wherein said end points have chamfered ends to reduce damage to a plant. 9. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said gripper head pivots about a vertical axis relative to said frame, said pivoting allowing said gripper head to align itself with various orientations of tray compartments. 10. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said frame consists of two lateral sides, and gripper heads mounted on each lateral side of said frame. 11. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 10, wherein said system consists of plural ones of said frames spaced laterally along said conveyors. 12. A transplant assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said system consists of plural ones of said frames spaced laterally along said conveyors.
