Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery, specifically to a transplanter for horizontally cross-planting Solomon's seal rhizome seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] With over 2000 years of application history and over 1000 years of cultivation history, *Polygonatum sibiricum* has the effects of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. Currently, it is used in the production of various traditional Chinese medicines, health foods, and cosmetics.

[0003] *Polygonatum sibiricum* thrives in shady and damp climates, exhibiting a preference for shade, cold tolerance, and intolerance to drought. It grows poorly in dry areas but thrives in moist, shady environments. Wild *Polygonatum sibiricum* typically grows in forests, thickets, or shady hillsides, in complex and harsh native environments with a relatively long growth cycle. Before 2015, the market for *Polygonatum sibiricum* was primarily supplied by wild resources. However, after 2015, demand surged, leading to near depletion of wild resources. The supply of fresh *Polygonatum sibiricum* has shifted mainly to artificial cultivation, using three methods: direct seeding, transplanting seedlings with stems and leaves, and transplanting rootstocks. Direct seeding has a low survival rate and is gradually being phased out. Transplanting seedlings with stems and leaves is mainly concentrated in summer, but is relatively cumbersome. Transplanting rootstocks is the most widely used method.

[0004] Currently, the transplanting of *Polygonatum sibiricum* root seedlings mainly relies on manual labor. The transplanting process requires manual operations such as trenching, seedling placement, and soil covering, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and makes it difficult to accurately grasp the agronomic requirements for transplanting. Problems such as bud-to-bud alignment, excessively large or small spacing, and transplanting depth that is too deep or too shallow often occur. Furthermore, the root seedlings of *Polygonatum sibiricum* are cylindrical or conical with a large head and a small tail. The head has growth buds, making them delicate and easily damaged. The outer layer of the epidermis has numerous fibrous roots, resulting in extremely poor seedling mobility. There is currently a lack of mechanized equipment for transplanting *Polygonatum sibiricum* root seedlings on the market, and related patent research also has various problems. For example, the invention patent CN115553101A, which designs a *Polygonatum sibiricum* tuber planting device, uses a cutting method for the root seedlings. The main problem is that not all cut tubers have buds, significantly affecting the survival rate of the tubers. Secondly, the device uses an automatic filling and free-falling method for seedlings, resulting in significant problems with empty and overlapping seedling rates. Seedlings fall randomly, and the orientation of the buds cannot be guaranteed. Patent CN216218715U, which designs a large-scale planting device for *Polygonatum sibiricum*, uses a pushing method for seedlings, which also suffers from random seedling fall and the inability to guarantee the orientation of the buds.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors proposed a transverse cross-planting machine for transplanting Solomon's seal rhizome seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the limitations of current devices in achieving precise, spaced, and directional seedling transplanting for horizontal cross-planting, the present invention aims to provide a transverse cross-planting machine for *Polygonatum sibiricum* root seedlings.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A transverse cross-planting chicken head sorghum tuber seedling transplanter includes a main frame, a belt conveyor, a conveyor power component, a traction device, a trenching component, a soil covering component, a compaction component, a depth adjustment device, a ground wheel component, a seat, and a material rack;

[0008] The main mounting frame includes a seat mounting frame, a ground wheel mounting frame, a conveyor mounting frame, a conveyor power component mounting plate, a material rack slot, a traction device mounting frame, a depth adjustment device mounting plate, a leveling machinery mounting frame, and a depth adjustment device limit plate. The mounting plates of each mounting frame are mainly assembled into the main body of the frame by welding.

[0009] The belt conveyor includes a conveyor side plate, mounting slots, a tensioning seat, a drive roller, a driven roller, a bending roller, a conveyor belt, a seedling trough, and a front guard plate. The conveyor side plate has corresponding mounting holes for the roller shafts. The drive roller, bending roller, and driven roller are installed sequentially. Additionally, the conveyor side plate has mounting slots for mounting onto the main frame. The tensioning seat is installed on the output shaft of the driven roller and allows adjustment of the belt tension. The conveyor belt is installed on the main frame. The horizontal conveying area and the downward conveying area on the moving roller, driven roller, and bending roller are at an overall angle of 110°. The seedling troughs are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt at a certain distance. Half of the opening of the seedling trough is rounded and half is straight to ensure that the Solomon's seal root seedlings will not fall off when they are conveyed downward in the seedling trough. The front guard plate surrounds the lower part of the conveyor device and the driven roller to protect the workers working on the rear seat. The belt conveyor device is responsible for conveying the Solomon's seal root seedlings to the prepared furrows according to the agronomic requirements by the workers feeding the seedlings.

[0010] The power assembly of the conveying device includes a power supply, a controller, a speed regulator, a motor, a reducer, a power connecting shaft, a drive sprocket, a chain, and a driven sprocket. The motor is connected to the reducer, and the reducer's power output shaft is connected to the power connecting shaft. The drive sprocket is mounted on the power connecting shaft and connected to the driven sprocket via a chain. The driven sprocket is mounted on the power input shaft of the drive roller of the belt conveyor. The power supply provides energy to the power equipment. The controller and speed regulator control the motor speed, thereby controlling the speed of the belt conveyor, thus adjusting the spacing of the *Polygonatum sibiricum* root seedlings.

[0011] The traction device includes a suspension mounting base, left and right suspension holes, a suspension intermediate connecting frame, and a suspension bushing. The suspension mounting base is installed on the main mounting frame, and the left and right suspension holes are connected by bolts.

[0012] The trenching assembly includes a wide-width modified trencher plow body, a trencher plow column, a trencher mounting beam, trencher U-bolts, and lifting mounting side plates. The wide-width modified trencher plow body and the trencher plow column are connected together by bolts to form a trencher. The trencher mounting beam is used to evenly distribute the trenchers on the trencher U-bolts. The lifting mounting side plates are installed on both sides of the trencher mounting beam. The trenching assembly is installed on the main mounting frame to open the required trapezoidal trench.

[0013] The soil covering assembly includes a soil covering installation beam, a V-shaped soil covering plate, a V-shaped soil covering plate mounting frame, a soil covering side plate, a soil covering side plate mounting frame, soil covering U-bolts, and a soil covering installation side plate. The V-shaped soil covering plate is connected to the V-shaped soil covering plate mounting frame by bolts, and the soil covering side plate is connected to the soil covering side plate mounting frame by bolts. The V-shaped soil covering plate mounting frame and the soil covering side plate mounting frame are installed on the soil covering installation beam by soil covering U-bolts. The soil covering installation side plate is installed on both sides of the soil covering installation beam. The soil covering assembly is installed on the lifting installation side plate to complete the soil covering work after trenching and seedling placement.

[0014] The compaction assembly includes a compaction roller and a compaction mounting side plate. The bottom of the compaction mounting side plate is connected to the compaction roller, and the top is mounted on the soil covering mounting side plate. The compaction assembly mainly completes the compaction agronomic requirements after the soil covering process.

[0015] The depth adjustment device includes a rotary handle, a fixed mounting base, a movable mounting base, and a lead screw. The rotary handle is installed on the top of the lead screw, with fixed mounting bases installed at both ends and a movable mounting base installed in the middle. The fixed mounting bases are installed on the fixed mounting plate of the depth adjustment device on the main frame, and the movable mounting bases are installed on the lifting mounting side plate of the trenching component. The depth adjustment device drives the lead screw to rotate by rotating the rotary handle, causing the movable mounting base to move upward or downward relative to the fixed mounting base, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the trenching component, the soil covering component, and the compaction component to achieve the requirements of adjusting the trenching depth and the soil covering thickness.

[0016] The ground wheel assembly includes a tire, a hub, a ground wheel axle, tire mounting side plates, a side plate connecting frame, a ground wheel mounting frame, ground wheel U-bolts, a pin, and double torsion springs. The ground wheel axle is inserted into the center hole of the ground wheel, and then the tire mounting side plates are installed on both sides of the ground wheel axle. The tire mounting side plates on both sides are connected by the side plate connecting frame, and the top of the tire mounting side plates on both sides is connected to the ground wheel mounting frame. The double torsion springs are installed on the ground wheel mounting frame by pins, and the tail of the double torsion springs spans across the side plate connecting frame to play a shock absorption role. The ground wheel mounting frame is installed on the ground wheel mounting frame of the main frame by ground wheel U-bolts.

[0017] The seats are mainly installed on the seat mounting frame by connecting bolts, where workers place the Solomon's seal rhizome seedlings into the seedling trough of the belt conveyor.

[0018] The material rack is inserted into the material rack slot of the main frame. This is mainly used to place the gorgonian root seedling box for storing gorgonian root seedlings.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 Figure 4 The power assembly 2 of the conveying device includes a power connection shaft 201, a drive sprocket 202, a chain 203, a driven sprocket 204, a power supply 205, a driver 206, a motor 207, a speed regulator 208, and a reducer 209. The power supply 205 provides power to the motor 207, the driver 206 provides appropriate power to drive the motor 207, the speed regulator 208 controls the speed of the motor 207, the motor 207 is connected to the reducer 209 to reduce the speed and increase the output torque to the value required by the belt conveyor 4, the output shaft of the reducer 209 is connected to the power connection shaft 201, the power connection shaft 201 cooperates with the drive sprocket 202, and transmits power to the driven sprocket 204 through the chain 203. The driven sprocket 204 is mounted on the power shaft of the drive roller 409, further transmitting power to the belt conveyor 4.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 The traction device 3 includes a suspension bushing 301, a suspension intermediate link 302, suspension left and right hanging holes 303, and a suspension mounting seat 304. The suspension mounting seat 304 is mounted on the main mounting frame 1. The tail of the suspension left and right hanging holes 303 is connected to the suspension mounting seat 304 by bolts, and the head is connected to the suspension intermediate link 302 by bolts. The suspension intermediate link 302 is separated in the middle by the suspension bushing 301 so that subsequent power equipment such as tractors can be connected. The traction device 3 is mainly responsible for connecting the power equipment when the transplanter is working alone.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 Figure 6The belt conveyor 4 includes a front guard plate 401, a tensioning seat 402, a conveyor side plate 403, a mounting slot 404, a conveyor belt 405, a seedling trough 406, a driven roller 407, a bending roller 408, and a driving roller 409. The driven roller 407, bending roller 408, and driving roller 409 are mounted on the conveyor side plate 403 via shafts at both ends. The conveyor belt 405 is bridging the outer surface of the roller tangent. The seedling troughs 406 are evenly distributed transversely on the conveyor belt 405. Tensioning seats 402 are installed on both sides of the driven roller 407 to facilitate subsequent adjustment. The conveyor belt 405 is tensioned. The mounting slot 404 is installed on the main mounting frame 1 and connected to the whole machine. The belt conveyor device 4 is divided into a horizontal conveying area and a downward conveying area. To prevent the seedlings from turning over and falling out of the trough in advance during downward conveying, the downward conveying area is designed to extend outward, making its overall angle 110°. In addition, the seedling trough 406 adopts a semi-circular arc shape at the front along the conveying direction and a bottom circle with a semi-straight cut at the rear, with a curved release groove in the middle, so that the seedlings of Polygonatum odoratum tuberous root will not fall out of the trough in advance when the seedling trough 406 is conveying seedlings at the bend of the conveyor belt 405 and in the downward conveying area.

[0043] Reference Figure 7 The ground wheel assembly 7 includes a tire 701, a hub 702, a ground wheel axle 703, a tire mounting side plate 704, a side plate connecting frame 705, a double torsion spring 706, a pin 707, a ground wheel mounting frame 105, and a ground wheel U-bolt 709. The tire 701 is assembled onto the hub 702 to form a ground wheel. The ground wheel axle 703 is installed in the middle of the hub 702. The tire mounting side plates 704 are installed at both ends of the ground wheel axle 703. The two side plates are connected by the side plate connecting frame 705.

[0044] Reference Figure 8 The pressing assembly 8 includes a pressing mounting side plate 801 and a pressing roller 802. The pressing roller 802 is connected to the pressing mounting side plate 801 via two rotating shafts. The pressing mounting side plate 801 is bolted to the soil covering assembly 9.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 Figure 9The soil covering assembly 9 includes a soil covering installation side plate 901, a soil covering side plate mounting frame 902, a soil covering side plate 903, a V-shaped soil covering plate 904, a V-shaped soil covering plate mounting frame 905, a soil covering U-bolt 906, and a soil covering installation beam 907. The soil covering side plate 903... V-shaped soil covering plate 904 is connected to soil covering side plate mounting bracket 902 and V-shaped soil covering plate mounting bracket 905 respectively by screws. The mounting bracket is installed on soil covering mounting beam 907 by soil covering U-bolts 906. Soil covering mounting side plates 901 are welded to both sides of soil covering mounting beam 907 and connected to the lifting mounting movable side plate 1001 of trenching component 10 by bolts. The soil covering component 9 has a sharp "wave" shape. During soil covering, the tip of the "wave" gradually disperses the high soil on the edge of the trench to the trenches on both sides, which can effectively ensure uniform soil covering. In addition, since the surface soil in the trench is relatively soft after being covered, the effect of flat compaction is poor. The opening at the tail of the "wave" allows excess soil to slightly accumulate above the trench, which can ensure better compaction effect when used in conjunction with compaction.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 Figure 10 The trenching assembly 10 includes a lifting and mounting movable side plate 1001, a wide-width modified trencher plow body 1002, a trencher plow column 1003, a trencher U-bolt 1004, and a trencher mounting beam 1005. The wide-width modified trencher plow body 1002 is connected to the trencher plow column 1003 by screws to form a single trencher unit. The trencher plow column 1003 is mounted on the trencher mounting beam 1005 by the trencher U-bolt 1004. The lifting and mounting movable side plate 1001 is welded to both sides of the trencher mounting beam 1005. The lifting and mounting movable side plate 1001 is connected to the depth adjustment device fixed mounting plate 104. The bottom of the tip of the trencher is offset upwards by ° to ensure easier soil penetration. The tail shaping plate of the wide-width modified trencher plow body 1002 can be gradually squeezed to both sides to finally form the desired trapezoidal trench shape.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 The depth adjustment device 11 includes a lead screw 1101, a movable mounting base 1102, a fixed mounting base 1103, and a rotating handle 1104. Fixed mounting bases 1103 are installed at both ends of the lead screw 1101. The fixed mounting bases 1103 are respectively installed on the depth adjustment device fixed mounting plate 104 and the depth adjustment device fixed limit plate 106 of the mounting main frame 1. The movable mounting base 1102 is placed in the middle of the lead screw 1101 and installed on the lifting mounting moving side plate 1001. The rotating handle 1104 is installed on the top of the lead screw 1101.

[0048] The trenching component 10 is directly connected to the movable seat 1102 of the depth adjustment device 11, and the soil covering component 9 is directly connected to the sliding groove of the trenching component 10. The soil covering component 9 can slide relative to the trenching component 10 through the sliding groove, and the bolts are then tightened to adjust the soil covering thickness.

[0049] Working principle: When working in conjunction with land preparation and ridging machinery, a tractor or other power machinery connects to the land preparation and ridging machine. The tractor's power take-off shaft connects to the ridging machine, providing power for land preparation. The transplanter and the land preparation and ridging machine are mounted on the main frame 1 via the land preparation machinery mounting frame 109. Driven by the tractor, the tractor's power is transmitted to the ridging device's reducer 209, and the ridging machine begins ridging. The belt conveyor 4 starts under the drive of the motor 207, and the power is then transmitted to the belt conveyor 4 via chain drive. On the roller, the conveyor belt 405 moves under the action of friction, and the seedling trough 406 on the belt also moves. The person sits on the seat 6 and places the Solomon's seal tuber seedlings in the seedling trough 406 according to the agronomic requirements. As the tractor moves forward, the whole machine moves forward with the support of the ground wheel assembly 7. The ditching assembly 10 digs a ditch on the prepared raised bed. The belt conveyor 4 transports the tuber seedlings and puts them into the ditch. Then the soil covering assembly 9 completes the soil covering, and the compaction assembly 8 completes the compaction. At this time, the transplanting of Solomon's seal tuber seedlings is completed.

[0050] When the transplanter works alone, the tractor is directly connected to the traction device 3 of the transplanter, dragging the transplanter forward. Then the belt conveyor 4 and motor 207 start, and the power is transmitted to the roller of the belt conveyor 4 through chain drive. Under the action of friction, the conveyor belt 405 moves, and the seedling trough 406 on the belt also moves. The operator sits on the seat 6 and places the Solomon's seal tuber seedlings in the seedling trough 406 according to the agronomic requirements. As the tractor moves forward, the whole machine moves forward with the support of the ground wheel assembly 7. The ditching assembly 10 digs a ditch on the prepared raised bed. The belt conveyor 4 transports the tuber seedlings and puts them into the ditch. Then the soil covering assembly 9 completes the soil covering, and the compaction assembly 8 completes the compaction. At this time, the transplanting of Solomon's seal tuber seedlings is completed.

[0051] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
