The traveling track wheels 22 are connected to both sides of the traveling driving member 21 , so that the traveling track wheels 22 are driven by the traveling driving member 21 , thereby realizing movement on the ground.

[0031] It can be understood that the travel drive member 21 can be a motor, the travel track wheel 22 can be a roller wrapped by a track, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the roller, thereby realizing the driving of the travel track wheel 22.

[0032] The base 30 includes a horizontal portion 31, a vertical portion 32 and a lever 33. The vertical portion 32 is connected to one end of the horizontal portion 31, and the horizontal portion 31 is connected to the travel drive member 21. The horizontal portion 31 is provided with a connection groove 311, and the vertical portion 32 is provided with a plug hole 321 and a punching groove 322, wherein the plug hole 321 passes through the vertical portion 32 and is respectively connected to the connection groove 311 and the punching groove 322. The lever 33 is located in the connection groove 311, and one end of the lever 33 close to the vertical portion 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connection groove 311.

[0033] The loading box 40 includes a box body 41 and a branching member 42. The box body 41 is connected to the horizontal portion 31 and is a hollow cavity.

The driving gear 612 and the driven gear 614 are both provided in the gear box 611, and the driving gear 612 is meshed with the driven gear 614. The clamping plate 613 is provided on the outer wall of the gear box 611 and extends in a direction close to the punching rod 62, and the U-shaped block 621 is clamped with the clamping plate 613. A rack (not shown) is also provided in the punching groove 322, and the driven gear 614 is exposed in the gear box 611 and meshed with the rack, so that the driven gear 614 is driven to rotate by the driving gear 612, so that the driven gear 614 and the rack are meshed to form a transmission, and then the clamping plate 613 is used to drive the U-shaped block 621 to move together, so that the planting drive 61 drives the punching rod 62 to move.

[0040] It can be understood that a motor is disposed in the gear box 611 to drive the driving gear 612 to rotate, so as to provide motive force to the driving gear 612 .

[0041] Furthermore, a stamping rotating motor (not shown) is also provided on the base 30 , and the output shaft of the stamping rotating motor is connected to the stamping rod 62 to drive the stamping rod 62 to rotate, so that the U-shaped clamping block is clamped or disengaged with the clamping plate 613 .

[0042] Furthermore, a sliding groove 312 is provided on the horizontal portion 31, and a sliding boss 412 is provided on the box body 41. The sliding boss 412 slidably cooperates with the sliding groove 312 to achieve the connection between the box body 41 and the horizontal portion 31, and by providing the sliding boss 412 and the sliding groove 312, the box body 41 can be easily disassembled.

[0043] Furthermore, the sliding boss 412 is T-shaped to increase the sliding stability between the sliding boss 412 and the sliding groove 312 .

[0044] Furthermore, an annular sand flushing block 631 is provided on one end of the water pipe 63 close to the ground, and the annular sand flushing block 631 is connected to the water pipe 63 to spray the external water source.

[0045] Furthermore, a water gun 632 is provided on the surface of the annular sand flushing block 631 close to the ground, and the water gun 632 is connected to the water pipe 63 through the annular sand flushing block 631 to increase the pressure of the water flow when spraying water.

[0046] Furthermore, the box body 41 includes a cutting placement area 412 and a cutting sorting area 413. The inner wall of the cutting placement area 412 is inclined and connected to the cutting sorting area 413. A sorting component 43 is also provided in the cutting sorting area 413. The cuttings to be planted are initially located in the cutting placement area 412 and roll onto the sorting component 43 in the cutting sorting area 413 through the inclined surface. The branch groove 411 is opened on the side wall of the cutting sorting area 413, so that the cuttings to be planted in the box body 41 can be sorted by using the sorting component 43 so that they fall out of the branch groove 411 on the box body 41 in order.

[0047] Furthermore, the sorting component 43 includes a sorting conveyor belt 431 and clamps 432. The clamps 432 are connected to the conveyor belt 431 at equal intervals so that when the cuttings to be planted fall from the cutting placement area 412 to the sorting component 43, they are just clamped on the two clamps 432, thereby using multiple clamps 432 to continuously transport the cuttings to be planted to the branch groove 411.

[0048] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the walking mechanism 20 moves to the position to be planted, the planting drive member 61 drives the punching rod 62 to punch holes for planting on the ground, and then the branch member 42 flips the cuttings to be planted in the box body 41 into the baffle 50, and the lever 33 is lifted to drop the cuttings to be planted from the cutting hole 321 out of the baffle 50 in a direction perpendicular to the ground and into the hole punched by the punching rod 62, and the water pipe 63 injects water into the hole to complete the planting.
