A seedling transplanting system is provided that utilizes a seedling feeder that is configured to fit between a tray of seedlings contained within a series of chain pots and a hydroponic trough. The feeder includes a ramp and a chute that direct the seedlings from the tray into the trough. A pair of guide surfaces, which form ramp sidewalls, help the seedlings to self-right as they are drawn into the hydroponic trough. A restraining jig aids in establishing and maintaining the relative positions of the seedling tray, feeder and trough during the transplanting process. A pulling tool simplifies the transplanting process by providing means for pulling a pair of media strips along with the captured chain pots into the hydroponic trough.

A full-automatic system and operation method of integrated sorting-transplanting-replanting for plug seedlings includes a frame, feeding units for a target tray and source tray, a discarding seedling tray bin, a single-claw for replanting unit, a multi-claw for sorting and transplanting unit, seedling picking claws and a monitoring module. During transportation, the seedling picking claws pass through a seedling picking zone, seedling monitoring zone, seedling discarding zone and seedling releasing zone in turn. The monitoring module and the single-claw for replanting unit are located behind and in the front of the vertical movement plane of the multi-claw, respectively. Along a tray feeding direction, a first row of the source tray is set as a source area for replanting, and other rows of the source tray are all set as the source area for transplanting. The monitoring and sorting is finished during the transportation without stopping.

A transplanting device separates a seedling bed piece with a seedling from a seedling bed along slits and transplants the separated seedling bed piece to a permanent planting panel. The transplanting device includes a separating mechanism and a transplanting mechanism. The separating mechanism includes a holding member and is capable of separating the seedling bed piece from the seedling bed. The transplanting mechanism is capable of transplanting the separated seedling bed piece to the permanent planting panel. The separating mechanism includes an engagement bar capable of hampering movement of an adjacent seedling bed piece adjacent to a holding-target seedling bed piece held by the holding member by becoming engaged with the adjacent seedling bed piece from a side that is different from a first side, on which the stalk of the seedling grows.

A high-speed transplanting mechanism having a laterally openable/closable duckbill has a duckbill soil penetration angle adjusting arm disposed on a duckbill transplanting portion, the duckbill soil penetration angle adjusting arm has a rear arm and a front arm with each end thereof connected by a reverse-threaded adjusting screw rod, and other ends thereof hingedly connected to an adjusting arm support shaft and the duckbill transplanting portion, respectively. A length of the reverse-threaded adjusting screw rod enables the duckbill to tilt in a direction opposite to a driving direction of a transplanting machine, and a vertical central straight line of the duckbill makes an angle with the ground capable of being adjusted between 65-85.

The tree planting machine includes a vehicle main unit, a washing water tank, a planting device, a washing water circuit, and a controller. The washing water tank is attached to the vehicle main body and holds water. The planting device is disposed on the vehicle main unit. The washing water circuit connects the washing water tank and the planting devices. The controller controls the washing water circuit so as to supply the water from the washing water tank to the planting devices.

A seedling transplanting device, includes: a handheld rod (1); a seedling digging assembly; wherein the seedling digging assembly includes: a fixed insertion member (2); a movable insertion member (3) with a top and a bottom, the movable insertion member is separated by a space from the fixed insertion member (2); and a driving assembly connected to the movable insertion member, the driving assembly causes the movable insertion member (3) to swing toward the fixed insertion member (2). The driving assembly causes the movable insertion member to swing toward the fixed insertion member, and after the seedling is taken out, the soil with the seedling will not drop out from the bottom of the fixed insertion member and the movable insertion member.
