Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of white thorn cultivation technology, specifically to a mechanized inoculation device and application method for white thorn with Cynomorium songaricum. Background Technology

[0002] Nitraria tangutorum is a typical ecological and economic shrub in desert and semi-desert regions. With its outstanding drought resistance, salt tolerance, and wind and sand resistance, it plays a crucial role in soil and water conservation and desertification control. Its fruit has both edible and medicinal value, and its roots can parasitize Cynomorium songaricum, forming a unique economic product. The continuously growing market demand is driving an increasingly urgent need for large-scale cultivation. Currently, Nitraria tangutorum planting and inoculation are still mainly done manually. The core process involves multiple steps, including plot leveling, seed pretreatment, ditching, sowing, covering, and compaction. Manual sowing requires workers to work continuously in harsh and complex desert environments, resulting in extremely high labor intensity, low efficiency, and difficulty in accurately controlling key parameters such as sowing depth, row spacing, and plant spacing due to individual differences in experience. This leads to inconsistent seed germination rates and uneven plant distribution, hindering the standardized advancement of large-scale Nitraria tangutorum cultivation. Against this backdrop, mechanized inoculation devices for Nitraria tangutorum have emerged, providing a highly efficient alternative to manual operation and offering technical support for large-scale cultivation.

[0003] The device mainly consists of a collection box, a conveying pipe, a support frame, and a trenching knife. During planting operations, workers need to actively operate the collection box to release the seeds. The operation process lacks automation and convenience. In addition, the combined structure of the collection box and the conveying pipe is quite tall, and the two are integrated and installed on the support frame. This means that when workers are loading seeds, they need to climb up the support frame with the seed bags in hand to pour the seeds into the collection box. This loading method is not only cumbersome and inconvenient, but also poses certain safety hazards due to the nature of the climbing action. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, the present invention provides a mechanized inoculation device and application method for Cynomorium songaricum.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a mechanized inoculation device for Cynomorium songaricum, including a support, a collection box fixedly connected to the support, a linkage mechanism shared by the support and the collection box, and a support mechanism on the collection box; The linkage mechanism includes a mounting block and a receiving box. An upper blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block. A lifting seat is slidably connected to the upper blade. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting seat. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting seat. An extrusion rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting seat, and an extrusion groove is formed on the extrusion rod. A frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper blade. A lower blade is slidably connected inside the frame. Two springs are fixedly connected to the top of the lower blade. A limit block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower blade. A bolt is fixedly connected to the top of the limit block, and a push rod is threaded to the top of the bolt. A limit groove is formed on the side wall of the frame. A baffle is slidably connected inside the receiving box. A pressure rod is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle. A conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving box. Two bolts are threaded to the side wall of the receiving box. The support mechanism includes multiple support blocks, hydraulic cylinders and multiple movable blocks. The movable blocks are all fixedly connected to a vertical frame. A cloth bag is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical frame. Guide rods are slidably connected to each support block.

[0006] Specifically, the receiving box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting box, the receiving box and the collecting box are in a through-connection state, and the receiving box and the conveying pipe are in a through-connection state.

[0007] Specifically, the mounting block is fixedly connected to the bracket at a position adjacent to the collection box, the top end of each spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block, and the pressure plate is L-shaped.

[0008] Specifically, both springs are located inside the frame, and the top ends of both springs are fixedly connected to the top wall inside the frame. The limiting block is slidably connected inside the corresponding limiting groove, and the top end of the top rod abuts against the bottom end of the pressure plate.

[0009] Specifically, one end of the pressure rod slides through the extrusion groove, one end of the two bolts is fixedly connected to a rotating handle, the other end of the two bolts is located inside the receiving box, and the end of the two bolts located inside the receiving box abuts against one side of the baffle.

[0010] Specifically, the support blocks are all fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection box, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding moving block, the top end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding moving block, the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket, and the bottom end of the cloth bag is fixedly connected to the top end of the collection box.

[0011] This invention also provides a method for applying a mechanized inoculation device for Cynomorium songaricum, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Connect the support frame to the external power machinery, and then start the power machinery to move the support frame to the designated working position; The second step is to activate the support mechanism, which will retract as a whole, lowering the overall height of the collection box, making it easier for workers to add seeds into the collection box. Once the seeds are added, the support mechanism will reset. The third step involves an external power machine causing the support to rotate downwards, allowing the bottom of the blade to insert into the soil. The power machine then moves the support across the land, and the moving blade creates a trench on the soil surface. Simultaneously, the force exerted by the blade acts on the linkage mechanism, which in turn causes the delivery pipe to drop the seed, scattering the seed in the trench to complete the inoculation process.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: To automate material feeding and improve operational convenience, the device links the trenching action of the cutting tool with the opening and closing of the baffle of the receiving box through a linkage mechanism. After the cutting tool enters the soil and is subjected to force, it can automatically trigger the material feeding through the conveying pipe. There is no need for the staff to actively operate the collection box, which completely solves the problem of manual intervention in material feeding of traditional devices, simplifies the operation process, and provides flexible material feeding modes to adapt to various operating scenarios. In addition to automatic material feeding linked to trenching, manual material feeding can also be achieved by actively controlling the opening and closing of the baffle by rotating two bolts. Alternatively, the device can be switched to a separate trenching mode by adjusting the top rod to meet the personalized needs of different operating stages. To reduce the difficulty of loading materials and eliminate safety hazards, the support mechanism can be retracted by hydraulic cylinders, actively lowering the overall height of the collection box. Workers do not need to climb the support and can add seeds while standing on the ground, avoiding the risks of working at heights and improving the convenience of loading operations. Expanding seed storage capacity and reducing feeding frequency, the support frame and cloth bag work together to form an expanded storage space with the collection box after resetting, increasing the amount of seeds loaded at one time, reducing the trouble of frequent feeding in desert operations, and adapting to the needs of large-scale inoculation.

[0015] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A mechanized inoculation device for Cynomorium songaricum includes a support 1, a collection box 2 fixedly connected to the support 1, a linkage mechanism 3 on the support 1 and the collection box 2, and a support mechanism 4 on the collection box 2. The linkage mechanism 3 includes a mounting block 31 and a receiving box 32. An upper blade 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 31. A lifting seat 34 is slidably connected to the upper blade 33. Multiple springs 35 are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting seat 34. A pressure plate 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting seat 34. An extrusion rod 37 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting seat 34. An extrusion groove 38 is formed on the extrusion rod 37. A frame 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper blade 33. A lower blade 40 is slidably connected inside the frame 39. Two springs 41 are fixedly connected to the top of the lower blade 40. A limit block 42 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower blade 40. A bolt 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit block 42. A push rod 44 is threadedly connected to the top of the bolt 43. A limit groove 45 is opened on the side wall of the frame 39. A baffle 46 is slidably connected inside the receiving box 32. A pressure rod 47 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 46. A conveying pipe 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving box 32. Two bolts 49 are threadedly connected to the side wall of the receiving box 32. The support mechanism 4 includes multiple support blocks 401, hydraulic cylinders 402 and multiple moving blocks 403. The moving blocks 403 are all fixedly connected to a frame 404. A cloth bag 405 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 404. Guide rods 406 are slidably connected to each support block 401.

[0017] The receiving box 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the collecting box 2, and the receiving box 32 and the collecting box 2 are in a through state. The receiving box 32 and the conveying pipe 48 are in a through state. The seeds in the collecting box 2 can be conveyed to the conveying pipe 48 through the receiving box 32. The mounting block 31 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1 at the position adjacent to the collecting box 2. The top of each spring 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block 31. The spring 35 facilitates the resetting and movement of the lifting seat 34. The pressure plate 36 is L-shaped. The two springs 41 are located inside the frame 39. The top of each spring 41 is fixedly connected to the top wall inside the frame 39. The two springs 41 facilitate the resetting of the lowering blade 40. The limiting block 42 is slidably connected inside the corresponding limiting groove 45. The limiting block 42 facilitates the restriction of the lowering blade 40. The top of the push rod 44 abuts against the bottom of the pressure plate 36, and the push rod 44 facilitates the movement of the pressure plate 36. One end of the pressure rod 47 slides through the extrusion groove 38. One end of the two bolts 49 is fixedly connected to a rotating handle. The other end of the two bolts 49 is located inside the receiving box 32. One end of the two bolts 49 located inside the receiving box 32 abuts against one side of the baffle 46, and the two bolts 49 facilitate the movement of the baffle 46. The support blocks 401 are all fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection box 2. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding moving block 403. The top of the guide rod 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding moving block 403. The hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 1. The bottom end of the cloth bag 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 2.

[0018] In use, the bracket 1 is connected to an external power machine, which moves the bracket 1 to the working position. The external power machine can control the bracket 1 to rotate downwards. When the bracket 1 rotates to the horizontal position, the hydraulic cylinder 402 is activated. The retraction of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 402 will cause the corresponding moving block 403 to move downwards. The downward movement of the moving block 403 will cause the upright frame 404 to move downwards. The upright frame 404 will cause the other moving blocks 403 to move downwards together. The passively moving blocks 403 will all cause the guide rods 406 to move downwards. The guide rods 406 will all move up and down in relation to the corresponding support blocks 401, thus guiding the downward movement of the upright frame 404. The upright frame 404 moves downwards... The process causes the cloth bag 405 to gradually fold. When the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 402 has retracted, the upright frame 404 moves to a position close to the top of the collection box 2. At this time, the overall height of the collection box 2 is drastically reduced, and the workers can directly pour the seeds into the inside of the collection box 2. When the inside of the collection box 2 is full, the hydraulic cylinder 402 is activated to reset its output end. At this time, the upright frame 404 and the folded cloth bag 405 will slowly reset. During the reset process, the workers can pour the remaining seeds into the space formed by the cloth bag 405 and the collection box 2. This not only makes the operation more convenient, but also eliminates the need for workers to climb the support 1, thus improving the safety of the operation. Then, the power mechanism drives the support 1 to rotate towards the ground again, causing the bottom end of the lower cutter 40 to insert into the soil. At this point, the power mechanism can move the support 1. As the lower cutter 40 rotates downward and inserts into the ground, it also moves upward under the support of the frame 39. The upward movement of the lower cutter 40 will compress and contract the two springs 41. At the same time, the upward movement of the lower cutter 40 will also cause the limiting block 42 to move upward in the limiting groove 45. During the upward movement of the limiting block 42, it will cause the bolt 43 to move upward. The upward movement of the bolt 43 will cause the top rod 44 to move upward. The upward movement of the top rod 44 will compress the bottom end of the pressure plate 36. The pressure plate 36, under compression, will cause the lifting seat 34 to move upward. As the lifting seat 34 moves upward on the upper blade 33, it compresses and contracts multiple springs 35. Simultaneously, the upward movement of the lifting seat 34 also drives the extrusion rod 37 upward. This upward movement of the extrusion rod 37 causes the extrusion groove 38 to press against the pressure rod 47. The pressure rod 47, compressed by the inclined extrusion groove 38, moves towards the upper blade 33. This movement of the pressure rod 47 causes the baffle 46 to move towards the upper blade 33. The movement of the baffle 46 opens the closed receiving box 32, allowing the seeds in the collection box 2 and receiving box 32 to be discharged through the conveying pipe 48. Meanwhile, the moving lower blade 40 is in the process of trenching in the soil, and the seeds are discharged through the conveying pipe 48. The seeds discharged from step 8 will be scattered into the furrows just dug by the lower blade 40, completing the inoculation process. After the furrows are dug, the support 1 and the lower blade 40 rotate upwards. At this time, the lower blade 40 will move downwards and reset in the frame 39 during the upward rotation. The top rod 44 will no longer squeeze the pressure plate 36. A spring 35 will drive the lifting seat 34 and the squeezing rod 37 to reset. The reset squeezing rod 37 and the squeezing groove 38 will act on the pressure rod 47, causing the pressure rod 47 to drive the baffle 46 to reset to its original position. The reset baffle 46 will close the receiving box 32, preventing the conveying pipe 48 from scattering seeds, thus completely completing the inoculation process. The entire process does not require special control of the conveying by personnel. When the feeding state of pipe 48 is complete and the trenching of the lower cutter 40 is finished, the receiving box 32 and the conveying pipe 48 can be automatically closed, making operation extremely convenient. When the lower cutter 40 is not needed to control seed conveying, the top rod 44 can be actively rotated. The top rod 44 will move up and down on a bolt 43. The lowered top rod 44 will not squeeze the pressure plate 36. At this time, the lower cutter 40 can only perform trenching work. In addition, when active seed discharge is required, the two bolts 49 can be actively rotated to move the two bolts 49 towards the receiving box 32. The moving two bolts 49 will actively squeeze the baffle 46, causing the baffle 46 to move and the receiving box 32 to open, so that the seeds in the collection box 2 and the receiving box 32 can be actively discharged.

[0019] This invention also provides a method for applying a mechanized inoculation device for Cynomorium songaricum, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Connect bracket 1 to the external power machinery, and then start the power machinery to move bracket 1 to the designated working position; The second step is to activate the support mechanism 4. The support mechanism 4 will retract as a whole, reducing the overall height of the collection box 2, making it easier for workers to add seeds into the collection box 2. Once the seeds are added, the support mechanism 4 can be reset. The third step involves an external power machine causing the support 1 to rotate downwards, allowing the bottom of the cutter 40 to insert into the soil. The power machine then moves the support 1 across the land, and the moving cutter 40 creates a trench on the soil surface. Simultaneously, the force exerted on the cutter 40 acts on the linkage mechanism 3, causing the delivery pipe 48 to drop seeds, which are then scattered in the trench to complete the inoculation process.
