Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural equipment, specifically an automatic tree-planting robot. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural ecological afforestation and field tree planting operations, traditional planting methods suffer from low efficiency, poor planting accuracy, high labor costs, and low seedling survival rates. Furthermore, they are ill-suited to complex field terrain and cannot achieve continuous, automated planting operations. This invention utilizes automated transmission technology and a collaborative operation system to automate the entire process, including pit digging, seedling planting, and root soil compaction. Through the coordinated operation of various systems, it improves planting accuracy and efficiency, reduces manual intervention and labor intensity, while ensuring the stability of planted seedlings and effectively increasing seedling survival rates. This meets the needs of large-scale ecological afforestation and field tree planting scenarios, promoting the automation development of agriculture and ecological governance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic tree planting robot, which automatically performs tree pit digging, seedling planting, and root soil covering and compaction, thus solving the shortcomings of existing tree planting operations such as low efficiency, poor planting accuracy, and high labor costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an automatic tree planting robot, including a walking and moving system, a hole-digging execution system, a planting mechanism and a soil covering device, and also a seedling storage device.

[0005] This automated tree-planting robot is characterized by comprising a walking system, a digging system, a planting mechanism, and a soil-covering device. The walking system provides the machine with field mobility and terrain adaptability. The digging system is connected to the walking system and is used to dig tree pits. The planting mechanism is adjacent to the digging system and is used to accurately place the sapling into the pit. The soil-covering device is used in conjunction with the planting mechanism to cover and compact the soil around the roots after planting.

[0006] The walking and moving system includes front wheels and rear wheels, which are respectively supported on both sides of the bottom of the whole machine, ensuring the robot's stable walking and turning in complex field terrain, and providing a mounting carrier for various operating systems.

[0007] The pit-digging execution system includes a drive motor, a linkage screw, and a spiral drill rod; the drive motor is connected to the spiral drill rod through the linkage screw, driving the spiral drill rod to rotate and achieve lifting and lowering, so as to adapt to the pit digging depth of different tree planting scenarios.

[0008] The linkage screw is used to transmit the power of the drive motor and precisely control the lifting stroke of the auger drill rod, so as to realize the adjustable and controllable depth of the tree pit and ensure that the depth of the tree pit meets the planting needs of different seedlings.

[0009] The planting mechanism is used to grab the saplings to be planted and works in coordination with the walking system and the digging system. After the digging system completes the digging of the tree pit, the sapling is accurately placed into the pit, ensuring the accuracy of the planting position.

[0010] The soil covering device is linked with the planting mechanism. After the seedlings are planted, the soil is covered and compacted around the roots of the seedlings, ensuring close contact with the soil around the roots and guaranteeing the stability and survival rate of the seedlings after planting.

[0011] This invention uses a walking system to move the entire machine to the designated planting location, a pit-digging system to dig the pit, a planting mechanism to grab the sapling to be planted and accurately place it into the pit, and a soil-covering device to simultaneously cover and compact the soil around the roots. All systems work together to complete the fully automated tree planting process, and the robot ends its work after completing the tree planting operation in the designated area.
