Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of planting machinery technology, and in particular to a storage, transport, compaction mechanism and method. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main needs in desertification control: sand fixation and desert planting after sand fixation. my country has made great progress in sand fixation, but in the next step of sand fixation and desertification control—desert planting—if we still adopt the primitive method of artificial planting, we will face difficulties such as slow water and seedling supply when planting outside the convenient supply area, resulting in low planting efficiency, low seedling survival rate and high labor intensity.

[0003] Existing fixed-track seedling release mechanisms use fixed guide rails to guide seedlings along conveyor belts or pushers, eventually dropping them into seedling pits. However, these mechanisms have limitations in desert planting. Specifically, because fixed-track seedling release mechanisms are serial structures, primarily chain-like, malfunctions in the conveyor belts or pushers that prevent the transport of seedlings can paralyze the entire mechanism. When these mechanisms are used in harsh desert environments, the aforementioned malfunctions will lead to maintenance difficulties and severely impact planting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0071] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0072] Definition: such as Figure 1 As shown, the storage component 100 is located in the upward direction, and the driving component 200 is located in the downward direction.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a storage and compaction mechanism, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a storage component 100, a driving component 200, and a planting component 300; the storage component 100 includes a seed storage assembly 120 for storing seeds or seedlings to be planted; the driving component 200 drives the seed storage assembly 120 to move toward the planting component 300; the planting component 300 includes a pressing head 310 for removing seeds or seedlings that are positioned opposite to it from the seed storage assembly 120.

[0075] In this embodiment, the pressing head 310 is positioned above the seed storage component 120, with the downward pressing direction of the pressing head 310 directly aligned with the planting hole. During use, the storage, transportation, and pressing mechanism of this embodiment is mounted on the chassis of an automated desert tree planting robot, with the pressing head 310 aligned with the lower digging and planting mechanism for replenishing new seedlings after each planting.

[0076] In this embodiment, the driving component 200 drives the storage component 100 to move, so that the seed storage component 120, the pressing head 310 and the planting hole are aligned. The pressing head 310 moves downward, knocking the seeds or seedlings stored in the seed storage component 120 directly below the pressing head 310 into the planting hole. Since no manual intervention is required, the planting operation is simpler and faster.

[0077] This embodiment uses a drive component 200 to move the storage component 100 and a planting component 300 to place saplings or seeds into the planting hole. It has a simple structure, high reliability, and minimal space requirements, making it suitable for unmanned and automated desert tree planting robots. It is of great significance for promoting the control of land desertification.

[0078] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the storage component 100 includes a first fixing member 110, a storage component 120, a second fixing member 130, and a limiting member 140 arranged sequentially, such as Figure 2 As shown, the seeds or seedlings to be planted are stored in the seed storage component 120. Based on the drive component 200 and the planting component 300, the seedlings or seeds in the seed storage component 120 are put into the planting hole.

[0079] Furthermore, the upper part of the seed storage component 120 is fixedly connected to the first fixing member 110, and the lower part of the seed storage component 120 is fixedly connected to the second fixing member 130. The second fixing member 130 is detachably connected to the limiting member 140. More specifically, the second fixing member 130 includes a first connecting member 131, and the limiting member 140 includes a second connecting member 141. The first connecting member 131 and the second connecting member 141 are detachably connected. Figure 3 As shown.

[0080] Considering the placement and removal of seeds or seedlings, the storage component 100 also includes a through hole 150; the through hole 150 passes through the first fixing member 110, the seed storage component 120, the second fixing member 130 and the limiting member 140 in sequence.

[0081] Furthermore, in order to support and prevent seeds or seedlings from falling out of the lower opening of the seed storage component 120, the storage component 100 also includes a sponge paper 160, which is disposed between the second fixing member 130 and the limiting member 140.

[0082] Compared with existing compaction and transfer machines, in this embodiment, the seedling or seed is in a relatively static state with the sponge paper 160 during the process of transferring the seedling or seed to the planting hole. That is, the seedling or seed and the seed storage component 120 are in a static state, and there will be no damage to the seed coat and the root of the seedling.

[0083] Here, after the seedlings or seeds in each storage chamber 1211 of the storage component 100 are fully loaded, the first connector 131 and the second connector 141 are disconnected, the perforated sponge paper (i.e., the used sponge paper) is removed, and another brand-new sheet of sponge paper is placed between the second fixing member 130 and the limiting member 140, completing the connection between the first connector 131 and the second connector 141, thus sealing the lower opening of the storage chamber 1211. New seedlings are then loaded through the upper opening of the storage chamber 1211. After loading, the process waits for connection with the rotary drive assembly 220 before the pressing and planting operation can begin. Multiple storage components 100 are provided, ensuring that one storage component 100 is always in the pressing and planting operation, significantly improving the efficiency of pressing and planting. Since all components of the storage component 100, except for the sponge paper, can be reused, costs are saved.

[0084] Furthermore, each storage chamber 1211 stores one seedling or one or more seeds. To maximize the storage capacity of the storage component 100, while minimizing space usage and ensuring that the storage chambers 1211 do not interfere with each other, the storage component 100 is preferably configured as a cylindrical structure, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the first fixing member 110 and the second fixing member 130 are arranged on the same central axis.

[0085] It should be noted that when the storage component 100 has a cylindrical structure, the storage assembly 120 includes storage units 121. The storage units 121 are arranged circumferentially around the central axis. The storage units 121 are arranged in multiple layers and sequentially from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the storage component 100. The storage unit 121 includes multiple storage chambers 1211, such as... Figure 12 As shown, multiple storage chambers 1211 are arranged in succession, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage capacity of storage component 100 is increased.

[0086] Compared with the existing chain-type compaction mechanism, the storage component 100 in this embodiment has a large storage capacity and occupies less space. Due to its low space requirements, it also places lower demands on the desert tree planting machine and its chassis, significantly reducing the cost and energy consumption of supporting the chassis of the storage and compaction mechanism, making it highly practical.

[0087] In this embodiment, each storage compartment 1211 is independent of the others and does not interfere with them. That is, if a storage compartment fails and cannot be used, it will not affect the normal use of other storage compartments, which greatly improves the reliability and robustness of the stored components.

[0088] Here, each storage chamber 1211 is configured as a tubular structure, with the through hole of the tubular structure coinciding with the through hole 150. The upper end of the tubular structure is inserted into the through hole of the first fixing member 110 and glued to the first fixing member 110, and the upper end of the tubular structure is inserted into the through hole of the second fixing member 130 and glued to the second fixing member 130.

[0089] Exemplarily, the storage component 100 of this embodiment includes an upper chuck, a lower chuck, a limiting plate, and multiple PVC pipes. The upper chuck, lower chuck, and limiting plate are provided with matching through holes. The upper end of the PVC pipe passes through the through hole of the upper chuck and is glued to the upper chuck, and the lower end of the PVC pipe passes through the through hole of the lower chuck and is glued to the lower chuck. The through holes on the PVC pipes are arranged opposite to the through holes of the limiting plate. Compared with other seedling release mechanisms on the market, the storage component 100 of this embodiment has lower manufacturing costs and a simpler manufacturing process. At the same time, the storage capacity of the storage component 100 of this embodiment can be set as needed.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 200 includes a linear driving assembly 210, a rotary driving assembly 220, and a connecting block 230, such as Figure 5 As shown, the linear drive assembly 210 and the rotary drive assembly 220 are connected via the connecting block 230. In this embodiment, the linear drive assembly 210 and the rotary drive assembly 220 realize the linear translation and rotational movement of the storage chamber 1211, thereby making the movement of the storage component 100 more stable and robust while minimizing the space occupied by the storage component 100.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the storage component 100 has a cylindrical structure and the storage unit 121 has two or more layers, the linear drive component 210 drives the storage component 100 to move toward the planting component 300, so that the storage chamber 1211 in any layer of storage unit 121 is opposite to the pressure head 310, and the linear drive component 210 stops driving; when it is necessary to replace the storage chamber 1211, the rotary drive component 220 is started, thereby driving the storage component 100 to rotate, so as to replace the next storage chamber 1211 until it is opposite to the pressure head 310. That is, the movement of the storage chamber 1211 and its relative positioning with the pressure head 310 are completed by the linear drive component 210 and the rotary drive component 220.

[0092] For example, in this embodiment, the linear drive assembly 210 includes a base 211, a lead screw, a lead screw nut, a groove, and a slider 212. The slider 212 includes a protrusion, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown; the lead screw is arranged along the length of the base 211; the lead screw nut is screwed to the lead screw; the slider 212 is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut, the groove is set on the base 211, the groove matches the protrusion on the slider 212, and the slider 212 is slidably connected to the groove.

[0093] Here, the linear drive assembly 210 also includes a linear drive motor 213, such as Figure 5 As shown, the linear drive motor 213 is connected to the lead screw to drive the lead screw to rotate.

[0094] Here, the linear drive assembly 210 also includes a guide 214, such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide 214 is mounted on the base 211, and the slider 212 is provided with a mounting groove 2121 that matches the guide 214 to ensure the accuracy of the sliding direction of the slider 212.

[0095] For example, the rotary drive assembly 220 includes a rotary drive motor 221 and a hollow rotary platform 222 connected in sequence. The hollow rotary platform 222 includes a rotating component 2221, such as... Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the rotating component 2221 is used to drive the storage component 100 to rotate.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the planting component 300 is used to remove seeds or seedlings from the storage chamber 1211 located directly below it to the planting hole. Specifically, the seeds or seedlings are passed through the sponge paper 160 from the storage chamber 1211 and then placed into the planting hole. The planting component 300 includes a pressure head 310, a retractable drive assembly 320, a support member 330, and a planting rotation assembly, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown.

[0097] Furthermore, the retractable drive component 320 in the planting component 300 is connected to the pressure head 310, and the retractable drive component 320 drives the pressure head 310 to move up and down reciprocally.

[0098] For example, the retractable drive assembly 320 includes a flexible telescopic member 321, a flexible telescopic member storage box 322, an active friction wheel 323, and a driven wheel 324, such as Figure 9 As shown, a gap is provided between the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324; a drum is provided in the flexible telescopic component storage box 322, the fixed end of the flexible telescopic component 321 is fixed to the drum, and the free end of the flexible telescopic component 321 extends out of the flexible telescopic component storage box 322, through the gap, and connects to the pressure head 310. The flexible telescopic component 321 is clamped by the pre-tightening force of the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324. The active friction wheel 323 drives the flexible telescopic component 321 to perform scaling motion, thereby realizing the downward pressing and retraction of the pressure head 310 driven by the flexible telescopic component 321.

[0099] Compared to the hydraulic or rigid pressing rods used in existing tree planting machines, this embodiment uses a flexible telescopic component 321 to push the seedlings or seeds out of the storage chamber 1211, saving space occupied by the flexible telescopic component 321, especially in the use of pushing out seedlings. It should be understood that seedlings have a certain length compared to seeds. Existing planting machines use hydraulic or rigid pressing rods, which inevitably require a long rod to extend above the existing tree planting machine, and the height of the storage chamber 1211 must be at least twice the height to achieve the pressing operation. This not only significantly occupies space in the storage, transportation, and pressing mechanism, but also affects the passability and safety of the planting device during operation. In this embodiment, a flexible telescopic component 321 is used to push the seedling out of the storage chamber 1211. Because the flexible telescopic component 321 can be rolled up, as long as the overall length of the flexible telescopic component 321 can complete the seedling pressing operation, the flexible telescopic component 321 significantly reduces the overall height of the storage, transportation and pressing mechanism in this embodiment, significantly reduces the installation space occupied by the planting component 300, and increases the passability and safety of the storage, transportation and pressing mechanism in this embodiment during operation.

[0100] Considering the driving of the active friction wheel 323, the retractable drive assembly 320 also includes a stepper motor 325, such as Figure 9 As shown, the output shaft of the stepper motor 325 is connected to the active friction wheel 323.

[0101] Furthermore, considering the fixation of the retractable drive assembly 320, the retractable drive assembly 320 is fixedly connected to the support member 330. More specifically, the support member 330 includes a fixing plate 331, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the flexible telescopic component storage box 322, the active friction wheel 323, the driven wheel 324 and the stepper motor 325 are all fixedly connected to the fixed plate 331. The flexible telescopic component storage box 322 is located on the upper part of the fixed plate 331, and the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324 are located in the middle or lower part of the fixed plate 331.

[0102] Furthermore, considering the guiding of the reciprocating motion of the pressure head 310, the support member 330 also includes a limiting guide hole 332, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the limiting guide hole 332 is formed in the fixed plate 331. In this embodiment, the free end of the flexible telescopic member 322 extends out of the gap between the flexible telescopic member storage box 322, the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324, and the limiting guide hole 332 in sequence, and then connects to the pressure head 310.

[0103] For example, the fixing plate 331 is an L-shaped plate, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the L-shaped plate includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The flexible telescopic storage box 322, the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324 are all fixedly connected to the vertical plate, and the horizontal plate has a limiting guide hole 332.

[0104] Furthermore, considering the different heights of the storage components 100, in order to shorten the displacement of the pressure head 310 and facilitate energy saving, the support component 330 also includes a lifting component. The lifting component controls the rise and fall of the fixed plate 331 through the lifting component, so that the height of the pressure head 310 matches the height of the storage components 100.

[0105] Furthermore, when pressing down on the sapling, in order not to damage the sapling, a flexible layer is provided on the side of the pressing head 310 facing the sapling, and the flexible layer includes a flexible material.

[0106] Furthermore, when pressing down on the seeds, the pressing head 310 has an opening on the side facing the seeds, so that when the pressing head 310 contacts the sponge paper 160, a cavity for accommodating the seeds is formed through the opening, such as... Figure 11 As shown, this is to ensure that the pressing head 310 does not damage the seeds during the downward movement of the pressing head 310 and the process of pushing the seeds into the planting hole.

[0107] It should be noted that: to ensure the pressure head 310 can quickly cut the sponge paper, the opening includes a blade portion, which is located on the outer edge of the opening, such as... Figure 11 As shown.

[0108] Furthermore, considering that the pressure head 310 may be intermittent during the cutting of the sponge paper 160, resulting in the seeds not being able to fall from the storage chamber 1211, the planting component 300 also includes a planting rotation assembly. The planting rotation assembly is connected to the support 330 and drives the fixed plate 331 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure head 310 to rotate.

[0109] More specifically, the rotating assembly includes a planting drive motor, a first gear, and a second gear connected in sequence. The planting drive motor is fixedly connected to the support 330, and the second gear is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 331 to drive the fixed plate 331 to rotate.

[0110] It should be noted that when the pressing head 310 comes into contact with the sponge paper 160, the pressing head 310 is rotating. The blade on the pressing head 310 rotates and cuts the sponge paper 160. The pressing head 310 completely cuts the sponge paper 160, which facilitates the seeds falling into the planting hole.

[0111] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the storage and compaction mechanism of this embodiment further includes a detachable component, through which the storage component 100 is detachably connected to the drive component 200. When all the seedlings stored in the storage chambers 1211 of a storage component 100 have been placed, the used storage component 100 is removed from the drive component 200 through the detachable component, and another storage component 100 fully loaded with seedlings is replaced. The detachable component enables rapid replacement during the replenishment process of the storage and compaction mechanism of this embodiment, greatly reducing the replenishment time of the storage component 100, facilitating manual operation, and improving work efficiency.

[0112] Exemplarily, the detachable components include a plug 410 and a slot 420, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the plug 410 is disposed on the drive component 200, and the slot 420 is disposed at the bottom of the storage component 100. More specifically, the plug 410 is connected to the rotating component 2221 in the hollow rotating platform 222. The slot 420 is disposed on the second fixing component 130, preferably in the middle of the second fixing component 130. To ensure a stable connection, the slot 420 is configured as a socket, which passes through the limiting component 140 and the second fixing component 130.

[0113] Example 2

[0114] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for storing, transporting, and compacting seeds or seedlings using the storage, transporting, and compacting mechanism described in Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 13 As shown, it includes:

[0115] S1, the pressure head 310 is opposite to the planting hole;

[0116] S2, the storage component 100 moves below the pressure head 310, so that the upper opening of the storage chamber 1211 is opposite to the pressure head 310;

[0117] S3, the pressing head 310 begins the pressing and dispensing operation, including: the pressing head 310 moves towards the lower opening of the storage chamber 1211 until the seedlings in the storage chamber 1211 are removed from the storage chamber 1211;

[0118] S4, the pressure head 310 resets, waits for the next pressing operation, and returns to S1.

[0119] In some specific embodiments of this example, S2, the storage component 100 moves below the pressure head 310, including:

[0120] S21, the linear drive assembly 210 drives the storage component 100 to move in the direction of the pressure head 310 until the storage unit 121 on the storage component 100 moves directly below the pressure head 310;

[0121] S22, the rotation drive assembly 220 drives the storage component 100 to rotate until the upper opening of the storage chamber 1211 in the storage unit 121 is directly opposite the pressure head 310; the storage chamber 1211 in S22 contains seedlings or seeds.

[0122] It should be noted that before S21, there is also S20, which determines whether all the seedlings in the current storage unit 121 on the storage component 100 have been squeezed out. If so, proceed to S21; otherwise, proceed to S2.

[0123] It should be noted that the pressing operation starts from the outermost storage unit 121 and continues until all the seedlings in the innermost storage unit are pressed out. At this point, all the seedlings in the storage component 100 are pressed out. The storage component 100 is then removed from the pressing head 310 by the linear drive assembly 210. The storage component 100 is then detached from the rotary drive assembly 220, and another storage component 100 fully loaded with seedlings is connected to the rotary drive assembly 220. The process returns to S2 and continues the pressing and planting operation.

[0124] In some specific embodiments of this example, S3, the pressing head 310 moves towards the lower opening of the storage chamber 1211 until the seedlings in the storage chamber 1211 are removed from the storage chamber 1211, including:

[0125] S31, under the condition that the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324 rotate, the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324 drive the flexible telescopic member 321 to extend in the direction of the storage chamber 1211, that is, the pressure head 310 is driven to move in the storage chamber 1211 through the flexible telescopic member 321.

[0126] S32, until the seedlings stored in storage chamber 1211 are removed from storage chamber 1211, the downward placement operation of the current storage chamber 1211 is completed. At this time, the seedlings fall into the planting hole, and the placement of the seedlings is completed.

[0127] In some specific embodiments of this example, S4, the pressure head 310 is reset, including: the active friction wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324 reverse their directions, thereby causing the flexible telescopic member 321 to retract, and the flexible telescopic member 321 carries the pressure head 310 out of the storage chamber 1211 until the pressure head 310 reaches its initial position, thus completing the reset of the pressure head 310.

[0128] It should be noted that after the pressure head 310 moves out of the storage chamber 1211, the rotation drive assembly 220 drives the storage component 100 to rotate, so that the current storage chamber 1211 moves away from below the pressure head 310 until the upper opening of the adjacent storage chamber 1211 is directly opposite the pressure head 310, and then the pressure head 310 begins the next pressing operation.

[0129] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
