[0044] 1. Compared with the prior art, a seeding box, a garlic picking unit, a garlic receiving chute, a garlic tip turning mechanism, and a seeding assembly are arranged on the frame of the garlic planter of the present invention. The frame is towed by a tractor or other towing vehicle to travel on the ground. The traveling wheels drive the garlic picking unit to convey the garlic seeds in the seeding box to the garlic tip turning mechanism and the seeding assembly, and finally the furrow opener assembly sends them into the soil, greatly improving the mechanization degree of garlic seeding, greatly improving the garlic planting efficiency, providing technical guarantee for the large-scale and mechanized development of garlic planting. At the same time, the industrial camera and the motor in the garlic tip turning mechanism are controlled by the control system of the garlic planter to act, effectively identifying and adjusting the garlic tip direction, and solving the technical problem of the garlic tip facing upward during the mechanized garlic planting process.

[0045] 2. By arranging the garlic tip turning mechanism and the seeding assembly, on the one hand, the garlic seeds picked up by the garlic picking unit fall into the garlic receiving chute and are guided by it to fall into the garlic receiving funnel. The garlic seeds lie horizontally in the cylindrical curved surface channel of the garlic receiving funnel with the garlic tip facing left or right. The control system of the garlic planter identifies the garlic tip orientation according to the photos taken by the industrial camera, and then controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor to realize the left or right flipping of the garlic receiving funnel, ensuring that the garlic seeds pass through the garlic dropping funnel freely with the garlic tip facing upward. On the other hand, through the eccentrically matched driving disc and driven disc, the furrow opener assembly in the closed state always maintains a vertically upward posture, preventing the garlic seeds from falling and changing direction. When the furrow opener assembly inserts into the soil, the cam on the driving disc contacts the pulley of the driving rod and starts to drive the driving rod to drive the driven roller to rotate. When the driven roller rotates, it drives the connecting rod assembly to push the mutually buckled tapered plates to open, and the garlic seeds fall into the soil holes. Therefore, through the cooperation of the garlic tip turning mechanism and the seeding assembly, it not only ensures that the garlic seeds picked up by the garlic picking unit are in the state of the garlic tip facing upward during the process of falling along the garlic dropping funnel into the seeding assembly, but also ensures that the garlic seeds are in the state of the garlic tip facing upward after being inserted into the soil, meeting the agronomic requirements and ensuring the germination rate of garlic.

[0090] It should be noted that: on the one hand, in this embodiment, the industrial camera 10, the motor 13, and the control system of the garlic planter can all adopt common and mature products on the market, which will not be elaborated here; on the other hand, a connecting piece is arranged in front of the frame 41 to facilitate the towing connection with a tractor or other towing vehicles. In this way, the frame 41 is towed by a tractor or other towing vehicles to travel on the ground, and the garlic taking unit and the sowing assembly are driven by the traveling wheel 36 through the sprocket chain transmission mechanism, realizing mechanized operation.

[0091] Working principle: The seeding box 1 is filled with selected garlic seeds. The garlic seeds are driven by the garlic seed picking spoon 8 in direct contact with them through the garlic seed picking chain 7 and conveyed above the garlic receiving chute 2. As the garlic seed picking chain 7 continues to rotate, the garlic seeds picked up by the garlic seed picking spoon 8 fall into the garlic receiving chute 2 and fall into the garlic receiving funnel 12 under the guidance of the garlic receiving chute 2. Then, the garlic seeds fall into and lie horizontally in the cylindrical curved surface channel of the garlic receiving funnel 12. The garlic seeds lying horizontally in the cylindrical curved surface channel of the garlic receiving funnel 12 are in a posture with the garlic tip facing left or right. At this time, the control system of the garlic planter can identify the orientation of the garlic tip according to the photo taken by the industrial camera 10, and then control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 13 to realize the left or right flip of the garlic receiving funnel 12. Specifically, when the garlic tip faces left, the garlic receiving funnel 12 flips to the right; when the garlic tip faces right, the garlic receiving funnel 12 flips to the left. Then, the garlic seeds pass through the garlic dropping funnel 15 in a posture with the garlic tip facing up and enter the furrow opener assembly that rotates to above the driving disc 18 and is close to the outlet of the garlic dropping funnel 15. When the driving disc 18 drives the driven disc 19 to rotate through the connecting plate 21, since the driven disc 19 has an eccentric structure formed with the driving disc 18, the dibbler 25 is always in a vertical state to prevent the garlic tip of the garlic seeds falling into it from changing direction. Then, the garlic seeds rotate with the dibbler 25 to below the driving disc 18, and the pointed end of the tapered plate 27 inserts into the soil to form a soil hole for the garlic seeds to be planted into the soil. Then, after the cam 32 on the driving disc 22 contacts the pulley 33 of the driving rod 34, it starts to drive the driving rod 34 to drive the driven roller 23 to rotate. When the driven roller 23 rotates, it drives the connecting rod assembly to push the mutually buckled tapered plates 27 to open, and finally the garlic seeds fall into the soil hole in a state where the garlic tip is upright. Then, the cam 32 is separated from the pulley 33, and the tapered plates 27 return to the buckled state. Compared with the prior art, the frame 41 of the garlic planter of the present invention is provided with a seeding box 1, a garlic seed picking unit, a garlic receiving chute 2, a garlic tip turning mechanism and a seeding assembly. The frame 41 is towed by a tractor or other towing vehicle to move on the ground. The garlic seed picking unit driven by the walking wheels 36 conveys the garlic seeds in the seeding box 1 to the garlic tip turning mechanism and the seeding assembly, and finally the furrow opener assembly sends them into the soil, greatly improving the mechanization degree of garlic seeding, improving the seeding efficiency. At the same time, the industrial camera 10 and the motor 13 in the garlic tip turning mechanism are controlled by the control system of the garlic planter to act, effectively identifying and adjusting the garlic tip direction, and solving the technical problem of the garlic tip facing up in the process of mechanized garlic planting.

[0092] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the scope of the present invention patent shall be included in the scope of the present invention patent application.
