Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically relating to a sweet potato seedling delivery device and its delivery method, and a sweet potato transplanter using the device. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling separation and delivery is one of the key steps in automated sweet potato seedling transplanting. Currently, sweet potato transplanters rely on manual seedling separation and delivery, which is labor-intensive and inefficient, thus reducing transplanting efficiency. Existing automated seedling separation and delivery mechanisms are mainly vibration-type, pneumatic-type, and seedling belt-type. However, vibration-type seedling separation is not very effective and the sweet potato seedlings are prone to tangling, affecting the subsequent seedling retrieval and transplanting work. Pneumatic-type seedling separation suffers from inaccurate seedling separation and is also prone to tangling. Seedling belt-type seedlings have problems such as complex seedling belt recycling, low flexibility, and difficulty in coordinating with the transplanting arm to achieve specific trajectory transplanting. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a sweet potato seedling delivery device, a seedling delivery method, and a sweet potato transplanter using the device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The present invention relates to a sweet potato seedling delivery device, comprising a support frame, a seedling storage component, and a seedling delivery component.

[0006] The seedling storage assembly includes seedling tubes, braided ropes, a first insert plate, and a second insert plate. The seedling tubes are arranged in parallel and at equal intervals. One end of each seedling tube is fixed by a braided rope, and the other end is fixed by another braided rope. One end of each braided rope is fixed to both ends of the first insert plate, which is parallel to the seedling tube, and the other end is fixed to both ends of the second insert plate, which is parallel to the seedling tube.

[0007] The seedling feeding assembly includes an unwinding shaft, a deflector wheel, a drive shaft, a take-up shaft, an electromagnetic clutch, a spiral spring, a support plate, and a one-way bearing. The horizontally parallel and spaced-apart unwinding and take-up shafts both form a rotating pair with the support, and a through slot is formed at the same end of both shafts. The drive shaft is parallel to the take-up shaft and forms a rotating pair with the support. The deflector wheel is fixed to one end of the drive shaft near the through slot, and multiple deflector plates are fixed on the cylindrical surface of the deflector wheel at equal intervals along the circumference, with the deflector plates arranged radially. The electromagnetic clutch is coaxially arranged with the take-up shaft, and a rotating shaft is fixed on the rotor of the electromagnetic clutch away from the take-up shaft. First, a second rotating shaft is fixed on a rotor second near the take-up shaft; the first rotating shaft and the bracket form a rotating pair and are connected to the drive shaft via a belt drive mechanism; the support plate is fixed on the bracket and located between the electromagnetic clutch and the take-up shaft; the end of the second rotating shaft away from the electromagnetic clutch passes through a circular hole in the support plate, is coaxially fixed with the outer ring of the one-way bearing, and forms a rotating pair with the circular hole, while the inner ring of the one-way bearing is fixed on the take-up shaft; the spiral spring is sleeved on the second rotating shaft, with its inner end fixed to the second rotating shaft and its outer end fixed to the support plate, and the spiral spring is in a compressed state; a pressure sensor is provided on the support plate outside the spiral spring. The drive shaft is driven by an external power source; initially, each seedling tube is wound around the insertion plate one or two via braided ropes, the seedling storage assembly is cylindrical, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is the initial pressure value.

[0008] Preferably, the unwinding shaft, drive shaft, rewinding shaft, and rotating shaft are all supported on the bracket by bearing seats.

[0009] Preferably, the belt drive mechanism includes a driving pulley, a synchronous belt, and a driven pulley. The driving pulley and the driven pulley are respectively fixed on the driving shaft and the rotating shaft, and are connected by the synchronous belt.

[0010] Preferably, a bearing cup sleeve is fixed at the end of the rotating shaft away from the electromagnetic clutch, a one-way bearing is placed inside the bearing cup sleeve, and the outer ring of the one-way bearing is fixed to the bearing cup sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the support plate and the bracket are fixed by a U-shaped component.

[0012] Preferably, a spring box is fixed on the support plate, the spiral spring is placed inside the spring box, and the outer end of the spiral spring is fixed on the spring box.

[0013] Preferably, a sensor support is fixed on the support plate, and the pressure sensor is disposed on the sensor support.

[0014] The seedling delivery method of the sweet potato seedling delivery device of the present invention is as follows:

[0015] Step 1: Place one sweet potato seedling into each seedling tube. If the braided ropes and seedling tubes are wrapped around the insert plate 1, insert the insert plate 1 into the groove of the unwinding shaft. Pull the insert plate 2 to move the end of each braided rope closest to the insert plate 2 around the actuating wheel, and insert the insert plate 2 into the groove of the winding shaft. At this time, several seedling tubes at the outer end of the seedling storage assembly are released, and the outermost seedling tube is positioned between an actuating plate at the lowest position on the actuating wheel and another actuating plate adjacent to that actuating plate and close to the unwinding shaft. The ends of each braided rope closest to the insert plate 2... One end is in a taut state; if each braided rope and each seedling tube is wound on the second insert plate, then the second insert plate is inserted into the through groove of the unwinding shaft, and the first insert plate is pulled to drive the end of each braided rope near the first insert plate to pass over the actuating wheel, and the first insert plate is inserted into the through groove of the winding shaft. At this time, several seedling tubes located at the outer end of the seedling storage assembly are released, and the outermost seedling tube is located between an actuating plate at the lowest position on the actuating wheel and another actuating plate adjacent to the actuating plate and close to the unwinding shaft. The end of each braided rope near the first insert plate is in a taut state.

[0016] Step Two: An external power source drives the drive shaft to rotate the actuating wheel and each actuating plate clockwise. One seedling tube on the actuating wheel is moved to its lowest position, and the moved seedling tube, through the braided ropes and insert plate one or two, drives the unwinding shaft to rotate counterclockwise. One seedling tube wound on insert plate one or two is released, and the end of each braided rope near insert plate two or insert plate one is in a slack state. At the same time, because the electromagnetic clutch is energized, rotor one and rotor two of the electromagnetic clutch are attracted together. The drive shaft also drives shaft one to rotate clockwise through the belt drive mechanism. Shaft one drives shaft two to rotate clockwise through the electromagnetic clutch. Shaft two drives the outer ring of the one-way bearing to rotate clockwise, and drives the spiral spring to compress. The spiral spring stores energy. When the inner ring of the bearing does not rotate, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor decreases until it falls below the preset pressure value. At this point, the electromagnetic clutch is de-energized, and rotors one and two of the electromagnetic clutch disengage. The spiral spring drives shaft two to reverse, increasing the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor. Shaft two then drives the inner ring of the one-way bearing to reverse via the outer ring of the one-way bearing, which in turn drives the winding shaft to reverse. The winding shaft, through insert plate two or insert plate one, drives the slack ends of each braided rope to wind around insert plate two or insert plate one. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor returns to the initial pressure value, the electromagnetic clutch is energized, and rotors one and two of the electromagnetic clutch re-engage.

[0017] Step 3: Repeat Step 2. During the repetition of Step 2, as the winding shaft reverses multiple times, the winding shaft drives the braided ropes and seedling tubes that pass over the actuating wheel to wind around the second or first insert plate until all sweet potato seedlings are delivered. Then, the drive shaft stops and the first and second insert plates are removed.

[0018] The sweet potato transplanter using the sweet potato seedling delivery device of the present invention also includes a frame, a moving trolley, and a transplanting mechanism. The moving trolley drives the frame to move, and the support is fixed on the frame. The transplanting mechanism is located on the frame and in front of the actuating wheel. The power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism is driven by an external power source. A reduction gearbox is provided on the frame. The power input shaft of the reduction gearbox is connected to the power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism through a bevel gear pair. The power output shaft is connected to the drive shaft through a chain drive mechanism. The drive shaft is driven by the power output shaft.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention achieves seedling storage through a seedling storage component. During use, each seedling tube contains one sweet potato seedling, avoiding the inaccurate seedling separation or low seedling delivery efficiency of existing seedling separation and delivery mechanisms, which affects the subsequent seedling retrieval and transplanting work, thus improving transplanting efficiency. Furthermore, this invention uses the drive shaft in the seedling delivery component to drive the actuating wheel and each actuating plate to rotate forward, so that each actuating plate moves each seedling tube one by one to the lowest position of the actuating wheel, realizing the seedling delivery work, reducing manual labor intensity, and further improving transplanting efficiency. At the same time, the tubular chain structure design of the seedling delivery component and the seedling storage component enables the recycling of the seedling storage component. The recycling process is simple, highly flexible, and can be recycled as a whole in one go, without the need to recycle each seedling tube individually, thereby reducing manual labor intensity and costs.

Among them, the drive shaft 6 is driven by an external power source; in the initial state, each seedling tube 1 is wound around the insertion plate 3 or the insertion plate 7 by each braided rope 2, the seedling storage component is cylindrical, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 22 is the initial pressure value.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the belt drive mechanism includes a driving pulley 11, a timing belt 12, and a driven pulley 13. The driving pulley 11 and the driven pulley 13 are respectively fixed on the driving shaft 6 and the rotating shaft 14, and are connected by the timing belt 12.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a bearing cup sleeve 23 is fixed at the end of the rotating shaft 16 away from the electromagnetic clutch 15, and a one-way bearing 24 is placed inside the bearing cup sleeve 23, with the outer ring of the one-way bearing 24 fixed to the bearing cup sleeve 23.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a sensor support 21 is fixed on the support plate 20, and a pressure transducer 22 is disposed on the sensor support 21.

[0034] The seedling delivery method of the sweet potato seedling delivery device of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Place one sweet potato seedling into each seedling tube 1. If each braided rope 2 and each seedling tube 1 is wrapped around the insert plate 3, insert the insert plate 3 into the slot of the unwinding shaft 4. Pull the insert plate 7 to move one end of each braided rope 2 near the insert plate 7 around the actuating wheel 5, and insert the insert plate 7 into the slot of the winding shaft 8. At this time, several seedling tubes 1 at the outer end of the seedling storage assembly are released, and the outermost seedling tube 1 is between an actuating plate at the lowest position on the actuating wheel 5 and another actuating plate adjacent to the actuating plate and close to the unwinding shaft 4. One end is in a taut state; if each braided rope 2 and each seedling tube 1 is wound on the insert plate 2 7, then insert plate 2 7 is inserted into the through groove of the unwinding shaft 4, and the insert plate 3 is pulled to drive the end of each braided rope 2 near the insert plate 3 to pass around the actuating wheel 5, and insert plate 3 is inserted into the through groove of the winding shaft 8. At this time, several seedling tubes 1 located at the outer end of the seedling storage assembly are released, and the outermost seedling tube 1 is located between an actuating plate at the lowest position on the actuating wheel 5 and another actuating plate adjacent to the actuating plate and close to the unwinding shaft 4. The end of each braided rope 2 near the insert plate 3 is in a taut state.

[0036] Step 2: An external power source drives the drive shaft 6 to rotate the actuating wheel 5 and each actuating plate clockwise. A seedling tube 1 on the actuating wheel 5 is pushed to its lowest position, achieving the seedling delivery function. The actuated seedling tube 1, through the braided ropes 2 and the first or second insert plate 7, drives the unwinding shaft 4 in reverse, releasing a seedling tube 1 wound on the first or second insert plate 7. The end of each braided rope 2 near the second or third insert plate is in a slack state. Simultaneously, because the electromagnetic clutch 15 is energized, rotors one and two of the electromagnetic clutch 15 are attracted together. The drive shaft 6 also drives the rotating shaft 14 clockwise through the belt drive mechanism. The rotating shaft 14, through the electromagnetic clutch 15, drives the rotating shaft 16 clockwise. The rotating shaft 16 drives the outer ring of the one-way bearing 24 clockwise, and compresses the spiral spring 17. The spiral spring 17 then... During energy storage, the inner ring of the one-way bearing 24 does not rotate, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 22 decreases until it is lower than the preset pressure value. Then, the electromagnetic clutch 15 is de-energized, and rotors 1 and 2 of the electromagnetic clutch 15 disengage. The spiral spring 17 drives the rotating shaft 2 16 to reverse, increasing the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor. The rotating shaft 2 16, through the outer ring of the one-way bearing 24, drives the inner ring of the one-way bearing 24 to reverse, which in turn drives the winding shaft 8 to reverse. The winding shaft 8, through the insert plate 2 7 or the insert plate 1 3, drives the end of each braided rope 2 that is close to the insert plate 2 7 or the insert plate 1 3 and is in a slack state to wind around the insert plate 2 7 or the insert plate 1 3. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor returns to the initial pressure value, the electromagnetic clutch 15 is energized, and rotors 1 and 2 of the electromagnetic clutch 15 re-engage.

[0037] Step 3: Repeat Step 2. During the repetition of Step 2, as the winding shaft reverses multiple times, the winding shaft drives the braided ropes and seedling tubes that pass over the actuating wheel 5 to wind around the insert plate 2 or insert plate 1, thereby realizing the retrieval of the seedling tubes until all sweet potato seedlings have been delivered. Then, the drive shaft 6 stops and insert plate 1 and insert plate 2 are removed.

[0038] The sweet potato transplanter using the sweet potato seedling delivery device of the present invention further includes a frame, a moving trolley, and a transplanting mechanism. The moving trolley drives the frame to move. The support 9 is fixed on the frame. The transplanting mechanism is located on the frame and in front of the actuating wheel. The power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism is driven by an external power source. A reduction gearbox is provided on the frame. The power input shaft of the reduction gearbox is connected to the power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism through a bevel gear pair. The power output shaft is connected to the drive shaft 6 through a chain drive mechanism. The drive shaft 6 is driven by the power output shaft. The driven sprocket 10 of the chain drive mechanism is fixed on the drive shaft 6.

[0039] Example 1: The transplanting mechanism adopts the transplanting device in the patent "A Sweet Potato Naked Seedling Transplanter and Transplanting Method" with application number 202310255993.6. The L-shaped plate in the transplanting device is fixed on the frame, and the gearbox shaft is the power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism, which is connected to the power input shaft of the reduction gearbox through a bevel gear pair.

[0040] Example 2: The transplanting mechanism adopts the component consisting of a transplanting device and a seedling clamping device from the patent "Intelligent Sweet Potato Naked Seedling Transplanter" with application number 201710141354.1. The connecting plate in this component is fixed on the frame, and the drive gear shaft is the power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism, which is connected to the power input shaft of the reduction gearbox through a bevel gear pair.

[0041] The working principle of the sweet potato transplanter using the sweet potato seedling delivery device of this invention is as follows:

[0042] The mobile trolley drives the frame to move, while the drive unit drives the power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism to rotate. The transplanting mechanism performs seedling picking and transplanting. The power input shaft of the transplanting mechanism drives the drive shaft 6 of the seedling delivery component to rotate forward through the reduction gearbox and chain drive mechanism. The seedling delivery component performs seedling delivery and retrieval until all sweet potato seedlings have been transplanted. Specifically, when a seedling tube 1 is moved to the lowest position of the actuating wheel 5, the grippers of the transplanting mechanism (two grippers in patent application number 202310255993.6, or gripping finger one and gripping finger two in patent application number 201710141354.1) move to the front of the seedling tube 1 and grip the sweet potato seedling inside the seedling tube 1 to complete the seedling picking. Then the grippers of the transplanting mechanism perform the transplanting work, while the actuating wheel 5 continues to move the seedling tube 1.
