Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transplanter technology, specifically a fully automatic electric-driven transplanter for seedling trays. Background Technology

[0002] Transplanting can advance the crop's growth period. However, traditional transplanting methods are labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to implement on a large scale. To adapt to the large-scale and mechanized production models of modern agriculture, tray seedling transplanting offers significant advantages. It not only retains the characteristics of ordinary transplanting but also saves seeds, facilitates standardized management, and is suitable for mechanized operations. It is a modern planting method that can effectively increase yields. Currently, most tray seedling transplanting in China is done using semi-automatic transplanting machines. However, manual labor is still required to remove the seedlings from the trays and place them into the planting device of the semi-automatic machine, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a tray seedling transplanting machine to automate the entire transplanting process and solve the problems of high labor intensity, high cost, and low efficiency associated with manual transplanting.

[0003] To address this, Chinese invention patent CN105794375A discloses a seedling transplanting machine. This invention involves manually removing seedling trays from a tray placement rack and placing them on a tray conveyor belt. A tray fixing mechanism secures the trays, which are then transported to below a seedling-retrieving robotic arm. A lifting mechanism raises the seedlings from the trays, and the robotic arm grabs the substrate block. A lifting mechanism then raises the seedling delivery device, which carries the seedlings above the seedling conveyor belt. The robotic arm opens, allowing the seedlings to fall onto the conveyor belt, where they are transported to a guide funnel and guided into a planting device. A furrow opener creates furrows, and the planting device places the seedlings into the furrows, which are then covered with soil by a covering wheel, completing the final step. This process is repeated until all seedlings in the trays have been removed, after which the empty trays are returned to a tray recycling mechanism. This invention patent uses a trench opener to open trenches, a planting device to place seedlings into the trenches, and a soil covering wheel to cover the soil to complete the transplanting. However, the plug seedlings of this invention are simply placed directly into the trenches by the planting device, and the soil covering wheel simply covers the roots of the seedlings. The roots of the seedlings are not fully embedded in the soil, resulting in poor fixation of the plug seedlings during transplanting, and the plug seedlings are more prone to lodging.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0041] Example: Fully automatic electric-driven transplanter for plug seedlings, structure as follows Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a vehicle body 1; the vehicle body 1 is equipped with a seedling supply device 2, a seedling delivery device 3 is provided at the rear of the seedling supply device 2, a seedling retrieval device 4 is provided at the rear of the seedling delivery device 3, a seedling placement device 5 is provided at the lower part of the seedling retrieval device 4, and a planting device 6 is provided at the lower part of the seedling placement device 5; a retrieval device 7 is provided at the lower part of the seedling delivery device 3; the seedling retrieval device 4 includes a seedling retrieval claw 8 located at the rear of the seedling delivery device 3. In use, the seedlings in the plug tray are placed on the plug tray plate 202 of the seedling supply device 2. The seedling supply device 2 transfers the plug tray seedlings to the seedling delivery device 3, and then the seedling delivery device 3 delivers the plug tray seedlings to the seedling retrieval claw 8 of the seedling retrieval device 4. The seedling retrieval claw 8 picks up the plug tray seedlings and places them into the seedling placement device 5, which then places the plug tray seedlings into the planting cup 10 of the planting device 6. Finally, the duckbill at the bottom of the planting cup 10 completes the transplanting of the plug tray seedlings. In addition, the recycling device 7 can recycle the empty plug tray plate 202. The planting device 6 of this invention can insert the roots of the plug tray seedlings into the soil to complete the transplanting. The transplanting of plug tray seedlings has a good fixing effect and the plug tray seedlings are not easy to fall over. This invention can meet the agronomic requirements of transplanting crop seedlings on film, with high transplanting efficiency and precision. The whole machine has a rigorous structure and a high degree of automation, which can effectively ensure the uprightness of the seedlings and has the advantages of saving time and labor in transplanting.

[0042] Take 8 seedlings Figure 10As shown, the seedling-grabbing claw 8 includes a connecting body 801 mounted on the seedling delivery device 3; a stepper motor 802 is fixed on the connecting body 801, which is formed by two L-shaped sheet metal pieces connected end to end with bolts. The stepper motor 802 is fixed inside the bottom of the two L-shaped sheet metal pieces, and a coupling is connected to the protruding end of the bottom of the stepper motor 802; a fixing block 803 is fixed below the connecting body 801, which consists of a first plate, a second plate, and four threaded rods. The first plate is fixed to the second plate by the four threaded rods at the four corners, and the coupling is fixed to the first plate; a lead screw 804 is provided between the protruding end of the stepper motor 802 and the fixing block 803. The upper end of the lead screw 804 is connected to the stepper motor 802 via a coupling, and the lower end of the lead screw 804 is rotatably mounted on the second plate via a bearing. A movable block 805 is sleeved on the lead screw 804, and the movable block 805 is threadedly engaged with the lead screw 804. The movable block 805 moves up and down as the lead screw 804 rotates. Four pulley blocks 806 are hinged to the side of the movable block 805. Three pulleys are rotatably mounted inside the pulley block 806. A movable rod 807 is embedded in the pulley block 806, and the pulley block 806 can slide on the movable rod 807 via the pulleys. A shovel 808 is fixed to the lower part of the movable rod 807. The movable rod 807 is hinged to the second plate. When the seedling grabber 8 is working, the stepper motor 802 drives the lead screw 804 to rotate, thereby causing the movable block 805 to move up and down. When the movable block 805 moves from top to bottom, the pulley block 806 hinged to the side of the movable block 805 slides on the movable rod 807. Since the movable rod 807 is hinged to the second plate, the lower part of the four movable rods 807 rotates from the outside to the inside, and drives the shovel blade 808 to close inward, completing the grabbing of the seedling in the plug tray. When the movable block 805 moves from bottom to top, the lower part of the movable rod 807 rotates from the inside to the outside, and drives the shovel blade 808 to open outward, completing the placement of the seedling in the plug tray.

[0043] Seedling collection device 4 Figures 8 to 9As shown, the seedling-collecting device 4 also includes a spacing plate 401 disposed at the rear end of the vehicle body 1. The spacing plate 401 has four spacing grooves 402, and the distance between the four spacing grooves 402 gradually decreases from bottom to top. A roller 403 is embedded in the spacing groove 402, and a seedling claw seat 404 is disposed on the side of the roller 403. The roller 403 is rotatably disposed on the rear side of the seedling claw seat 404. The connecting body 801 is hinged to the side of the seedling claw seat 404. A slide rail seat 405 is sleeved on the side of the spacing plate 401, and a first slide rail 406 is fixed on the side of the slide rail seat 405. The seedling claw seat 404 is slidably disposed by a first slider. The first motion mechanism 407 is provided on the side of the dividing plate 401, which is used to realize the longitudinal translation of the dividing plate 401 and the lifting of the slide rail seat 405. The first motion mechanism 407 includes a first motor fixed to the dividing plate 401 and a first linear mechanism fixed to the slide rail seat 405, and the first linear mechanism and the first motor are fixed through a connecting frame. A gear is connected to the bottom of the first motor, and a rack meshing with the gear is fixed to the upper part of the vehicle body 1. The first motor is fixed to the upper part of the connecting frame, and the lower part of the connecting frame is connected to the third slide rail through a third slider. The slide rail 401 is slidably mounted on the upper part of the vehicle body 1. A first motor drives a gear to move longitudinally along the side of the rack, causing the spacing plate 401 and the first linear mechanism to move longitudinally. The first linear mechanism includes a second motor fixed to the connecting frame, with a second lead screw connected below it. A second movable block is threaded onto the second lead screw, and the side of the second movable block is fixed to the slide rail seat 408. The slide rail seat 408 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame through the cooperation of a fourth slider and a fourth slide rail. The second motor drives the second lead screw to rotate, causing the second movable block to rise and fall, thereby causing the slide rail seat 408 to rise and fall. 05 During the upward movement, the rollers 403 also rise within the spacing grooves 402, and the distance between the four rollers 403 gradually decreases. The seedling claw seats 404 are slidably mounted on the first slide rail 406, and the distance between the seedling claw seats 404 also gradually decreases. Thus, the first motion mechanism 407 realizes the longitudinal translation and lifting of the seedling claws 8. When the seedling claws 8 are at their highest position, the distance between the seedling claws 8 is reduced to the shortest and corresponds to the spacing between two rows of seedling trays, allowing the seedling trays to be grasped. When the seedling claws 8 are at their lowest position, the distance between the seedling claws 8 is extended to the longest and corresponds to the spacing between the seedling cups 9, allowing the seedling trays to be lowered. An electric push rod 408 is hinged to the side of the slide rail seat 405, and a connecting rod 409 is hinged to the extended end of the electric push rod 408. The front side of the connecting body 801 is hinged to the connecting rod 409. The tilt angle of the seedling claw 8 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the electric push rod 408, so that the seedling claw 8 is perpendicular to the seedling tray plate 202 when taking seedlings.

[0044] Seedling feeding device 5 Figures 11 to 12As shown, the seedling feeding device 5 includes a seedling feeding cup 9 disposed below the seedling taking device 4. The seedling feeding cup 9 includes a first cup body 901; the lower part of the first cup body 901 is hinged to a first seedling feeding spout 902 and a second seedling feeding spout 903, which can open or close; a seedling feeding follower 501 is fixed to the front side of the first seedling feeding spout 902, and a first connecting rod 904 is hinged between the first seedling feeding spout 902 and the second seedling feeding spout 903; when When the planting cup 10 moves to below the seedling cup 9 and continues to move forward, the planting cup 10 abuts against the seedling follower 501, causing the seedling follower 501 to rotate forward and drive the first seedling beak 902 to rotate forward. When the first seedling beak 902 rotates forward, it drives the second seedling beak 903 to rotate backward through the first connecting rod 904, thereby opening the first seedling beak 902 and the second seedling beak 903. The setting of the seedling follower 501 can reduce the use of control devices during seedling feeding and reduce costs. The seedling cup 9 is fixed with a lifting seat 502 on its side. The lifting seat 502 is provided with a second motion mechanism 503 on its side. The second motion mechanism 503 is fixed on the vehicle body 1 and is used to realize the lifting of the lifting seat 502. The two ends of the lifting seat 502 are slidably provided with second slide rails 504, which are fixed on the vehicle body 1. The structure of the second motion mechanism 503 is similar to that of the first linear mechanism described above, so it will not be described again.

[0045] Planting device 6 Figures 13 to 16As shown, the planting device 6 includes a planting cup 10 disposed at the lower part of the seedling feeding device 5; the planting cup 10 includes a second cup body 1001 disposed at the lower part of the seedling feeding device 5; the lower part of the second cup body 1001 is respectively hinged to a first planting spout 1002 and a second planting spout 1003; a pressure roller 1004 is rotatably connected to the side of the first planting spout 1002; a second linkage rod 1005 is hinged between the first planting spout 1002 and the second planting spout 1003; the pressure roller 1004 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the hinge point of the first planting spout 1002; when the pressure roller 1004... When subjected to a downward force from the cam 1104, the first planting duckbill 1002 rotates forward and drives the second planting duckbill 1003 to move backward via the second linkage 1005, thus opening the first planting duckbill 1002 and the second planting duckbill 1003. The side of the planting cup 10 is connected to a third motion mechanism 601 via a first linkage mechanism 11. The third motion mechanism 601 is fixed to the vehicle body 1 and is used to realize the rotation of the first linkage mechanism 11. The first linkage mechanism 11 includes a crank rod 1101 hinged to the side of the third motion mechanism 601. A connecting rod 1102 is hinged to the end of the planting cup 10, and a swing rod 1103 is hinged to the middle of the connecting rod 1102. The end of the connecting rod 1102 is hinged to the planting cup 10. The first linkage mechanism 11 is a conventional crank-swing rod mechanism. The rotation of the crank rod 1101 causes the end of the connecting rod 1102 to reciprocate from front to top to back to bottom, and drives the planting cup 10 to reciprocate from front to top to back to bottom. A cam 1104 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 1102. The cam 1104 protrudes forward and downward. The cam 1104 abuts against the pressure roller 1004. A second linkage mechanism 60 is hinged to the side of the planting cup 10. One end of the second linkage mechanism 602 is hinged to the vehicle body 1. The second linkage mechanism 602 includes two pairs of rods respectively hinged to the side of the planting cup 10 and the vehicle body 1. The two pairs of rods are hinged to each other, and the line connecting the rods and the hinge points is a parallelogram. The line connecting the hinge points of each pair of rods is perpendicular to the travel plane of the vehicle body 1. The second linkage mechanism 602 is hinged to the planting cup 10 through two parallelogram rods. Since the parallelogram rods are vertical to the two fixed hinge points of the vehicle body 1, the parallelogram structure makes the planting cup 10 also vertical when it moves. The second linkage mechanism 602 enables the planting cup to remain vertical during movement. Therefore, when the planting cup 10 moves forward and upward, the cam 1104 abuts against the pressure roller 1004, but the angle between the protrusion of the cam 1104 and the line connecting the pressure roller 1004 to the hinge point of the first planting duckbill 1002 increases, so it does not exert a downward force on the pressure roller 1004. When the planting cup 10 moves backward and downward, the angle between the protrusion of the cam 1104 and the line connecting the pressure roller 1004 to the hinge point of the first planting duckbill 1002 decreases, and it exerts a downward force on the pressure roller 1004.The planting cup 10 reciprocates from front to top to back to bottom under the drive of the connecting rod 1102 of the first linkage mechanism 11. When the planting cup 10 moves forward and upward, it can just abut against the seedling follower 501, causing the seedling cup 9 to open and the seedlings in the plug tray to fall into the planting cup 10. When the planting cup 10 moves backward and downward, the cam 1104 presses down the pressure roller 1004, causing the first planting beak 1002 and the second planting beak 1003 to open, and the planting cup 10 completes the planting action of inserting into the soil and opening the beak.
