[0002] Potato transplanting requires cultivating seedlings with well-developed root systems, thick stems, and uniform size. Specialized seedling substrates and seedling trays are used to cultivate seedlings in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse, and then they are planted using specialized instruments.

[0003] Existing seedling planting devices, such as the invention patent with patent application number CN202310866528.6 entitled "Intelligent Sweet Potato Seedling Transplanter," relate to the field of crop production technology, specifically to an intelligent sweet potato seedling transplanter. This device includes a workbench, with a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench, a steering wheel fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, a handle groove inside the fixed plate, a top plate fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed plate, a motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a bolt threaded onto the outer side of the lead screw, a positioning rod fixedly connected to the outer side of the bolt, a sliding groove inside the fixed plate, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer side of the bolt, a guide rod fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod, and a soil-digging device fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod. This device is easy to use, allows for quick and precise adjustment of the soil-digging device's height, and can automatically plant seedlings.

[0004] When using the above-mentioned device, since potato cuttings are usually raised in a warm and humid environment, they are usually placed on a biodegradable seedling tray at the bottom. When using the existing device to propagate these potato cuttings with seedling trays, it is easy to remove the seedling trays because the bottom seedling trays are large, and then the potato cuttings need to be neatly stacked together, which affects work efficiency and has certain shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cutting propagation device that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a potato virus-free cutting planting device, including a mobile vehicle, and further comprising: a storage box, installed on the mobile vehicle, wherein multiple sets of magnetic suction plates are slidably connected inside the storage box, dividing the storage box into multiple chambers by the magnetic suction plates, the chambers being used to hold potato cuttings; a pusher plate, used to push the potato cuttings in the chambers; a connecting pipe, fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box, the connecting pipe communicating with the chambers, wherein the pusher plate pushes the potato cuttings into the connecting pipe, and then they fall through the connecting pipe; and a camera, installed on the mobile vehicle, the camera being used to photograph the potato cuttings about to be discharged through the connecting pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the storage box, a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the storage box, the lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a sliding block is threaded onto the lead screw, the sliding block is slidably connected inside the storage box, an electromagnet is fixedly connected to the sliding block, and a magnetic plate is magnetically connected to the electromagnet.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple sets of electromagnets are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the storage box.

[0009] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the storage box, and multiple sets of lead screws are rotatably connected inside the storage box, with the push plate threaded onto the lead screws.

[0010] Furthermore, an auxiliary pipe is installed at an angle on the connecting pipe, meaning that a solenoid valve is installed below the auxiliary pipe on the connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage box is equipped with a discharge port for the magnetic suction plate to be discharged.

[0012] Furthermore, a mixing tank is fixedly connected to the mobile vehicle, a motor is fixedly connected to the mixing tank, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank, and multiple stirring shafts are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is provided with a thread, and two sets of movable plates are threadedly connected to the thread. The movable plates are provided with tapered holes. By rotating the rotating shaft, the movable plates can move closer and further apart, and the large ends of the tapered holes are arranged opposite each other. By moving the movable plates closer together, the liquid in the mixing tank can be squeezed, so that the liquid enters through the large hole of the tapered hole and then quickly exits through the small hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a water pump is fixedly connected to the mobile vehicle, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet ends of the water pump. The inlet pipe is connected to the mixing tank, and the outlet pipe faces the discharge end of the connecting pipe.

[0015] A planting method for a virus-free potato cutting planting device, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Place the seedlings to be propagated into the chambers inside the storage box in sequence; Step 2: Move the mobile vehicle to the field to be planted, and then use a camera to photograph the potato cuttings in the chamber for inspection. Step 3: Then, by rotating motor 2, the pusher plate is moved, and the potato cuttings after being photographed fall through the connecting pipe into the field below. Step 4: Start the water pump to draw out the nutrient solution from the mixing tank and inject it into the potato cuttings to irrigate them; Step 5: The mobile vehicle continues to move, and the camera continues to take pictures of the potato cuttings behind it for inspection. After the potato cuttings in one chamber are planted, motor one is started to move the potato cuttings in the other chamber so that the potato cuttings in this chamber can be discharged through the connecting pipe. Then, the camera takes pictures and inspects the cuttings until the planting is completed.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The present invention can temporarily store potatoes with seedling trays for cutting by setting up a storage box. At the same time, through the cooperation of the push plate, magnetic suction plate and connecting pipe, the potato cuttings can be moved out and fall into the field below. Furthermore, through the setting of the camera, the potato cuttings can be photographed to check the development of the potatoes. Based on the inspection results, they can be moved out through the connecting pipe or auxiliary pipe, which facilitates the use of potato cuttings. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-7 A potato virus-free cutting planting device and method includes a mobile vehicle 1, and further includes: a storage box 2, installed on the mobile vehicle 1, with multiple sets of magnetic suction plates 205 slidably connected inside the storage box 2, dividing the storage box 2 into multiple chambers for placing potato cuttings; a push plate 209 for pushing the potato cuttings in the chambers; a connecting pipe 103, fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 2, communicating with the chambers, pushing the potato cuttings into the connecting pipe 103 via the push plate 209, and then letting them fall through the connecting pipe 103; and a camera 101, installed on the mobile vehicle 1, for photographing the potato cuttings about to be discharged through the connecting pipe 103. The device is also equipped with an intelligent control system for precise control and coordinated operation of the various components.

[0021] A motor 201 is fixedly connected to the storage box 2. A lead screw 202 is rotatably connected inside the storage box 2. The lead screw 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201. A sliding block 203 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 202. The sliding block 203 is slidably connected inside the storage box 2. An electromagnet 204 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 203. A magnetic plate 205 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet 204.

[0022] Multiple sets of electromagnets 206 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of storage box 2.

[0023] A motor 207 is fixedly connected to the storage box 2. Multiple sets of lead screws 208 are rotatably connected inside the storage box 2. The push plate 209 is threadedly connected to the lead screws 208.

[0024] An auxiliary pipe 104 is installed at an angle on the connecting pipe 103, which means that a solenoid valve is installed below the auxiliary pipe 104 on the connecting pipe 103.

[0025] The storage box 2 is provided with a discharge port 102 for the magnetic suction plate 205 to be discharged.

[0026] A mixing tank 3 is fixedly connected to the mobile vehicle 1. A motor 301 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 3. A rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank 3. Multiple stirring shafts 303 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 302.

[0027] The rotating shaft 302 is threaded, and two sets of movable plates 304 are threadedly connected to the thread. The movable plates 304 are provided with tapered holes 305. By rotating the rotating shaft 302, the movable plates 304 can move closer and further apart, and the large ends of the tapered holes 305 are set opposite each other. By moving the movable plates 304 closer together, the liquid in the mixing tank 3 can be squeezed, so that the liquid enters through the large hole of the tapered hole 305 and then quickly exits through the small hole.

[0028] A water pump 4 is fixedly connected to the mobile vehicle 1. The inlet end and outlet end of the water pump 4 are respectively connected to an inlet pipe 401 and an outlet pipe 402. The inlet pipe 401 is connected to the mixing tank 3, and the outlet pipe 402 is directed toward the discharge end of the connecting pipe 103.

[0029] The intelligent control system of the device performs self-checks on each component, including motor 1 (201), motor 2 (207), motor 3 (301), electromagnet 1 (204), electromagnet 2 (206), solenoid valve, camera 101, water pump 4, etc. It checks whether the connections of each component are normal and whether the power supply is stable, ensuring that all components are in normal working condition. If an abnormality is detected, the system will issue an alarm and display fault information, which will facilitate timely troubleshooting and repair by the staff.

[0030] When using this device, the electromagnet 206 at the bottom of the storage box 2 is activated to generate magnetism. The magnetic plates 205 are then placed on the electromagnet 206 in sequence and fixed by magnetic attraction. Since the electromagnets 206 are evenly distributed, the magnetic plates 205 divide the storage box 2 into multiple chambers of the same size. Then, potato cuttings with biodegradable seedling trays are placed into each chamber in sequence to complete the storage preparation. The camera 101 takes pictures and transmits the data to the system to record the initial number of cuttings in each chamber.

[0031] Operate the mobile vehicle 1 to drive the device to the field to be planted, activate the camera 101 to take pictures of the potato cuttings that will be discharged through the connecting pipe 103 in the storage box 2, and use image recognition technology to check whether the height of the cuttings is uniform, whether the color is normal (e.g., whether there is yellowing or withering), and whether there are any defects such as broken leaves or broken stems, in order to prepare for subsequent screening.

[0032] Start motor 207, its output end drives screw 208 to rotate. Push plate 209 is threadedly connected to screw 208. When screw 208 rotates, push plate 209 moves smoothly along the inner wall of storage box 2, pushing the potato cuttings in the chamber to the connecting pipe 103.

[0033] If the camera 101 passes the inspection, the solenoid valve below the connecting pipe 103 remains open, and the potato cuttings fall into the field through the connecting pipe 103. If they fail the inspection, the solenoid valve is closed, and the cuttings fall into the connecting pipe 103 first under the push of the push plate 209. Then, blocked by the solenoid valve, the potato cuttings will enter the inclined auxiliary pipe 104 and be discharged to the side of the field for easy collection and processing by staff, thus preventing unqualified cuttings from entering the planting area.

[0034] While the seedlings are being planted, the system activates motor 301 on the mixing tank 3 at preset time intervals or according to the number of seedlings planted. Motor 301 drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 303 fixed on the rotating shaft 302 stirs and mixes the nutrient solution in the tank to ensure uniform nutrient distribution. At the same time, the thread on the rotating shaft 302 drives two sets of moving plates 304 to move closer to each other, drawing liquid in through the large end of the conical hole 305 and discharging it at high speed through the small hole, further enhancing the mixing effect. The system monitors the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the mixing tank 3 in real time through a liquid level sensor. When the liquid level is lower than the set value, the system issues an alarm to prompt the staff to add nutrient solution.

[0035] Once the qualified potato cuttings fall into the field through the connecting pipe 103, the system immediately starts the water pump 4. The inlet pipe 401 of the water pump 4 draws in the nutrient solution from the mixing tank 3 and sprays it through the outlet pipe 402 toward the discharge end of the connecting pipe 103, precisely irrigating the newly fallen qualified potato cuttings and providing the nutrients needed for growth. The system precisely controls the flow rate and pressure of the water pump 4 according to the planting density of the cuttings and the concentration of the nutrient solution to ensure that each cutting receives an appropriate amount of nutrient solution.

[0036] The mobile vehicle 1 continues to move slowly, and the camera 101 repeatedly takes pictures and checks the potato cuttings in the subsequent chambers. When all the cuttings in a chamber have been processed, the motor 201 is started, and its output end drives the lead screw 202 to rotate. The sliding block 203, which is threaded to the lead screw 202, slides in the storage box 2. At the same time, the electromagnet 204 is energized and generates magnetism, attracting the corresponding magnetic plate 205. The electromagnet 206 below the magnetic plate 205 is de-energized and demagnetized. The sliding block 203 drives the magnetic plate 205 to move, so that the potato cuttings in the adjacent chambers are moved to the top of the connecting pipe 103. The process of camera 101 checking, push plate 209 placement and watering continues until all the potato cuttings in the chambers have been planted.

[0037] Example 2: Refer to Figure 1-7 A planting method for a virus-free potato cutting planting device, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Activate electromagnet 206, place magnetic plate 205 on electromagnet 206, divide the storage box 2 into chambers of the same size, and then place the cuttings into the chambers separated by magnetic plate 205 in the storage box 2. Step 2: Move the mobile vehicle 1 to the field to be planted, and then use camera 101 to take pictures of the potato cuttings in the chamber for inspection. Specifically, the inspection will check the height, color and whether the cuttings are damaged. Step 3: Then, by rotating the motor 207, the push plate 209 is moved, which in turn moves the potato cuttings with seedling trays. The qualified potato cuttings are dropped through the connecting pipe 103 into the field below. If they are not qualified, the solenoid valve in the connecting pipe 103 is closed, and the unqualified potato cuttings are discharged to the side through the auxiliary pipe 104, so that the staff following behind can collect and process them. Step 4: Start water pump 4 to draw out the nutrient solution in mixing tank 3 and inject it into the potato cuttings that are discharged through connecting pipe 103 to irrigate them; Step 5: After planting and watering one seedling, the mobile vehicle 1 can continue to move, and the camera 101 can continue to take pictures of the potato seedlings behind it for inspection. After the potato seedlings in one chamber are planted, the motor 201 is started. At this time, the electromagnet 204 is energized and attracts the magnetic plate 205. At this time, the electromagnet 206 below the magnetic plate 205 is de-energized, so the sliding block 203 can drive the magnetic plate 205 to move. The potato seedlings in the other chamber can move with the magnetic plate 205, so that the potato seedlings in this chamber can be discharged through the connecting pipe 103. Then, the camera 101 takes pictures and inspects the seedlings until the planting is completed.

[0038] The present invention, through the setting of storage box 2, can temporarily store potato cuttings with seedling trays. At the same time, through the cooperation of push plate 209, magnetic suction plate 205 and connecting pipe 103, potato cuttings can be moved out and dropped into the field below. Furthermore, through the setting of camera 101, the potato cuttings are photographed to check the development of the potatoes. Based on the inspection results, they can be moved out through connecting pipe 103 or auxiliary pipe 104 for easy use of potato cuttings.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
