Sorting and transplanting device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a sorting and transplanting device and a sorting and transplanting method. The sorting and transplanting device comprises a rack, a plug tray conveying assembly, a first movingassembly, a second moving assembly, a visual grading assembly and a control assembly, wherein an original plug tray conveying belt in the plug tray conveying assembly is used for conveying original plug tray seedlings to be sorted and transplanted, and a plurality of grading plug tray conveying belts are used for conveying grading plug tray seedlings of different grades; the first moving assemblysynchronously drives a first synchronous belt set and a second synchronous belt set according to a control signal to enable a sliding rail to move in the first direction and / or the third direction; the second moving assembly drives a plurality of sliding blocks according to the control signal to enable a plurality of picking mechanisms to move in the second direction; the visual grading assemblyis used for collecting images of the original plug tray seedlings and identifying the images according to a grading algorithm to grade the original plug tray seedlings to obtain graded plug tray seedlings; and the control assembly is used for providing the control signal according to the grades of the grading plug tray seedlings and the hole position information of the grading plug trays of the corresponding grades. According to the sorting and transplanting device, the sorting and transplanting operation efficiency of the plug tray seedlings and the seedling forming quality of commercial seedlings are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural intelligent production equipment, and more specifically, to a sorting and transplanting device and method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of industrial seedling cultivation, the competition among seedling enterprises is also increasing. One of the key links to improve the quality of commercial seedlings is sorting and transplanting. Due to the influence of seed activity, substrate difference, and environmental uniformity, the condition of the plug seedlings after emergence is different. As the growth of the plug seedlings is limited by the hole area, it is necessary to thin the seedlings. Or multiple sorting and transplanting, sorting and sorting the plug seedlings that have not emerged or have different seedling growth states, so as to further classify and manage, and ensure the final formation of neat and consistent high-quality commercial seedlings.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Equipment that only completes single functions such as transplanting, seedling replenishment, and seedling thinning cannot achieve sorting, and further manual work is required;

[0005] (2) Leafy vegetables and other low plug seedlings are only graded by collecting top-view images, but there is no reasonable plan for a large number of plug seedlings that really need to be sorted, such as fruit vegetables and flowers;

[0006] (3) The seedling sorting level needs to be further subdivided, and it is difficult to meet the actual production needs by simply doing two-level sorting;

[0007] (4) The one-handed transplanting operation is inefficient and cannot meet the production efficiency requirements

[0008] Therefore, the development or application of plug seedling sorting equipment is slow
