And a changeover switch 17 for switching between the two. When the grafting operation of Cucurbitaceae is performed, the changeover switch 17 is operated to switch to a control state in which the control program A for the grafting operation of Cucurbitaceae operates. After that, the rootstock seedlings and scion seedlings used for the grafting of Cucurbitaceae are suspended on the rootstock seedling receiver 3 and the scion seedling receiver 4, respectively, and the grafting device is activated.

When performing grafting work in the solanaceae family, operate the changeover switch 17 to
The control state is switched to the control state in which the control program B for the grafting work of the solanaceae family operates. Thereafter, the rootstock seedlings and scion seedlings used for the grafting of the Solanaceae are suspended on the rootstock seedling receiver 3 and scion seedling receiver 4, respectively, and the grafting device is activated. Then, the control program B selected by the changeover operation of the changeover switch 17 is operated, and the rootstock seedling transfer device 6, the scion seedling transfer device 7,
The rootstock seedling cutting device 9, the scionling seedling cutting device 11, and the clip feeder 2 operate, and the rootstock seedlings and cuttings are transported, cut, and joined. As described above, when performing the grafting work of Cucurbitaceae, the control program corresponding thereto is operated to perform the grafting work corresponding to Cucurbitaceae, and when performing the grafting work of Solanaceae, the control program corresponding thereto is activated. We perform grafting work corresponding to solanaceae. Since the present invention is constructed as described above, a single grafting device can perform a grafting operation corresponding to Cucurbitaceae and a grafting operation corresponding to Solanaceae, resulting in high efficiency. It becomes. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the structure of the grafting device 1 will be described. In the grafting device 1, a clip feeder 2 is provided at the center of the main body in a plan view, and a rootstock seedling receiver 3 is placed on one side of the clip feeder 2 and a scion is placed on the other side. A seedling receiver 4 is provided, and a rootstock seedling transfer device 6 is provided between the rootstock seedling receiver 3 and a joining point 5 on the side of the clip feeder 2 where the graft clip is pushed out. And a rootstock seedling cutting device 9 is provided at a place where the rootstock seedling transporting device 6 has transported the rootstock seedling 8 from the rootstock seedling receiver 3 by approximately 90 degrees. A scion seedling cutting device 11 is provided at a position where the seedling conveying device 7 conveys the scion seedlings 10 from the scion seedling receiver 4 by approximately 90 degrees. The clip feeder 2 integrally forms a clip storage section 13 for storing a large number of grafted clips 12 and a clip alignment passage 14 for aligning and guiding the grafted clips 12 in a line toward the joining point 5. The grafted clip 12 is transported from the clip storage section 13 to the clip alignment passage 14. Note that the clip feeder 2 is means for transporting by using vibration. The rootstock seedling receiver 3 and the earling seedling receiver 4 form a groove for suspending the rootstock seedling 8 and the earling seedling 10, respectively. In addition,
One end of the groove is configured so that each open seedling can be smoothly supplied and taken out. The rootstock seedling transporting device 6 and the scionling seedling transporting device 7 are opened and closed by an air cylinder or the like, a main body that reciprocates (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1) by an actuator, an arm that expands and contracts with respect to the main body by an air cylinder, or the like. It has a hand for gripping and releasing the hypocotyl. The transporting devices 6 and 7 are configured to temporarily stop at a position (about 90 degrees) rotated from the seedling receivers 3 and 4 and the joining point 5 to the cutting devices 9 and 11. The hand shown in FIG. 8 is inclined (α) downward in the upper surface. The rootstock seedling cutting device 9 includes a main body that is rotated by an actuator (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1) and a cutting blade at the tip of the main body. And a cutting blade at the tip of the body. The grafting device operation panel 16 is detachably attached to the main body of the grafting device 1 and includes switches shown in the drawings, such as a grafting mode changeover switch 17 for switching between grafting operations of Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae. In the control circuit of FIG. 6, MCS is a mask control set, MCR is a mask control reset, A program is a control program for grafting work in Cucurbitaceae, and B program is a control program for grafting work in Solanaceae family. Next, the operation will be described. First, when performing grafting work of Cucurbitaceae, the grafting mode changeover switch 17 is switched to Cucurbitaceae. Then, the control program of the grafting work is the control program of Cucurbitaceae in FIG. 6 (A program, Cucurbitaceae grafting process in FIG. 7). Next, the rootstock seedling (pumpkin in the embodiment) 8 is inserted into the rootstock seedling receiver 3.
A scion seedling (cucumber in the example) is suspended in a scion seedling receiver 4
And set the start switch to “ON”. Then
The rootstock seedling transporting device 6 grasps the rootstock seedling 8 and transports it to the joining point 5.
Cuts a predetermined position of the hypocotyl. Hogi seedling transfer device 4
Holds the seedling 10 and transports it to the joining point 5. During this transport, the cutting apparatus 11 cuts the predetermined position of the seedling 10. Rootstock seedlings 8 that have been cut and conveyed to the junction 5
The cut surfaces of the cuttings 10 and 10 are aligned with each other, and in this state, the cut surface is gripped by the graft clip 12 extruded from the clip alignment passage 14. When the joining is completed, the hands of the two transporting devices 6 and 7 release the gripping of the two seedlings 8 and 10 and terminate the grafting operation. Next, when performing grafting work in the Solanaceae family, the grafting mode changeover switch 17 is used.
Is switched to solanaceae. Then, the control program of the grafting work is the control program (B program,
(Solanaceous grafting process in FIG. 7). Then, the rootstock seedling (pumpkin in the embodiment) 8 is suspended on the rootstock seedling receiver 3, the spikelet (tomato in the embodiment) is suspended on the spikelet receiver 4, and the start switch is turned on. Then, the rootstock seedlings 8 and the scion seedlings 10 are made into a rootstock seedling transporting device 6, a seedling seedling transporting device 7, a rootstock seedling cutting device 9, a scionling seedling cutting device 11, a grafting clip 12, and the like, in the same manner as the Cucurbitaceae. Perform grafting work. Therefore, the grafting work of the solanaceae / cucurbit family can be performed by one unit, so that the efficiency is high. In addition, the control program for both operations can be performed by a simple operation of switching the grafting mode changeover switch 17 on the grafting device operation panel 16, and by replacing the mechanism of the seedling holding part which is a part of the device. By forming the holding portion of the seedling as shown in FIG. 8, the position is relatively low when the hypocotyl of the seedling is thick, and relatively high when the hypocotyl of the seedling is thin.
For this reason, it is corrected so that the lengths of the cut surfaces in the single-leaf cutting become equal. For this reason, the range in which the cutting blade does not need to be adjusted is widened, the adjustment time is short, and the device is easy to use.
