Automatic plug tray recovering and stacking device and method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic plug tray recovering and stacking device and a method thereof and belongs to the field of agricultural machinery. The device comprises a machine frame, a conveying device, a lifting mechanism, a raising mechanism, a locking mechanism and a control system, wherein the control system is electrically connected with the conveying device, the lifting mechanism and the raising mechanism respectively. According to the device, the control system controls a double-chain transmission mechanism of the conveying device to convey a used empty plug tray, stacked empty trays are lifted by the lifting mechanism, the empty tray is raised by the raising mechanism, and the raised empty tray is locked by the locking mechanism; the device can automatically convey, recover and stack used plastic or foam plug trays in sequence so that the plug trays are reused later, can greatly reduce workers' labor intensity in plug tray recovering and stacking, and increases the working efficiency; and the device is simple in structure and reliable in service performance and can be applied to plug tray seedling transplanting machinery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a device for automatically recovering and stacking trays and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] Whether it is flowers or vegetables, plug seedling cultivation is the most fundamental change in modern gardening, which provides a guarantee for fast and mass production. The plug tray has become an important utensil in the production technology of industrialized seedling cultivation. The advantages of using plug seedlings are: saving the amount of seeds and reducing production costs; neat emergence, maintaining the consistency of plant seedling growth; can be used with various manual and automatic seeders, which is convenient for centralized management and improve work efficiency; transplanting It does not damage the root system, slows down the seedlings quickly, and has a high survival rate. [0003] At present, about 60% of vegetables are planted by ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, no matter whether it is a dry land transplanter or a greenhouse transplanter, there is no treatment for the used plug trays, and the materials used to make the plug trays generally include polystyrene foam, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene.

General vegetable and ornamental plant seedling trays are made of polystyrene materials. If the used trays are not recycled in time, they will be reused later and even affect the environment.
