Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural and forestry machinery, in particular to a single device of a chain pot seedling transplanter. Background Art

[0002] Seedling transplanting technology has the advantages of overcoming low temperatures during the seedling stage and resolving conflicts in crop growth periods and land use caused by climate or continuous cropping patterns. However, transplanting techniques in my country are mainly manual transplanting and semi-automatic mechanical transplanting. Manual transplanting is labor-intensive and inefficient, while semi-automatic transplanting requires manual feeding of seedlings. Although this reduces labor intensity to a certain extent, transplanting efficiency and quality are significantly affected by the speed of manual feeding and the duration of the operation. The overall efficiency is low, making large-scale transplanting difficult. At the same time, with the supply-side industrial restructuring and reform in my country, the rural labor force is gradually shifting to cities, and the number of people employed in agricultural production is gradually declining. This has made it more urgent to further improve the efficiency of mechanized transplanting in my country. The low level of transplanting automation and mechanization has led to high labor intensity, low production efficiency, and high production costs, which has become one of the main bottlenecks restricting the continued expansion of my country's agricultural production scale.

[0003] To achieve lightweight mechanization and efficient automation in the pot seedling transplanting process, patent JP2019071863A proposes a continuous chain transplanter based on a regular hexagonal cross-section paper pot seedling book, which can be quickly unfolded and separated in a chain during transplanting. This method is simple in the seedling raising process, but the spacing between the pots is small and fixed, which is only suitable for transplanting crops suitable for dense planting, such as green onions. Patent CN104663084A proposes a special chain-breaking transplanter that cooperates with a rectangular cross-section pot (patent CN100401871C), which can achieve high-speed chain-breaking automated transplanting of crops with large plant spacing. However, due to the bulky manufacturing equipment and complex process of its rectangular cross-section chain seedling container, it is not suitable for small and medium-sized planting.
