Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and more specifically to a rice seedling cultivation production line. Background Art

[0002] Rice, as the largest food crop in my country, is widely planted in my country. The population that relies on rice as their staple food exceeds 65% of the total population in my country, which is enough to prove that rice occupies an extremely important position in my country's food production. With the increase in the demand for rice, most people now use automated rice seedling raising equipment to grow rice.

[0003] At present, most factory-based rice seedling cultivation is carried out in trays, which requires the completion of tray separation, soil laying, compaction, watering, sowing, topsoil covering, and tray connection in the rice seedling tray to plant rice. Most factories have adopted mechanized production, but since rice seedling cultivation requires human participation, in many large production workshops, machinery and human activities are carried out at the same time in the same venue, which can easily cause injuries.

[0023] 3. Beneficial effects

[0024] Compared with the existing known technologies, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following significant effects:

[0025] (1) A rice seedling cultivation production line of the present invention divides the factory into zones, with the rice seedling production line as the boundary, and the two sides are divided into an equipment area and a functional area. The functional area includes an upper plate area, a feeding area and a stacking area. The upper plate area controls the transportation of empty rice seedling trays, the feeding area is used to place seed packages, and the stacking area is used to control the stacking of rice seedling trays after sowing.

[0026] (2) A rice seedling cultivation production line of the present invention is equipped with mechanical transport devices before and after the traditional rice seedling raising equipment. When the rice seedling trays are loaded, a loading device such as a robot is used to transport the stacked empty rice seedling trays from the pallet to the rice seedling raising station. When the rice seedling trays have been raised, a stacking device is used to transport the stacked rice seedling trays to the pallet for stacking, thereby reducing manual intervention, saving manpower, and speeding up the rice seedling raising process to a speed of 3,600 trays per hour.

[0027] (3) In a rice seedling cultivation production line of the present invention, a crane is placed across the upper end of a seeder at a sowing station, and a seed package is hoisted by a winder provided on the crane and then slowly placed in a hopper of the seeder so that the opening of the seed package is located in the hopper of the seeder, thereby preventing the seed package from escaping from the hopper due to being too high, thereby causing seeds to spill and cause waste.

[0028] (4) In a rice seedling cultivation production line of the present invention, at the bottom soil covering station and the surface soil covering station, the soil covering machine is connected to a soil feeder, and a sieve plate is provided on the soil feeder to filter the soil to filter out large particles of impurities, and the soil is broken up before the soil covering machine is used to spread it into the seedling tray, so as to ensure that the soil is loose and the seeds will not be short of oxygen in the soil. The soil covering machine at the surface soil covering station is also provided with a mixing structure at the soil outlet to further mix the soil so that the soil is more evenly covered on the surface layer, so that the seeds can more easily absorb air through the surface soil.
