TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The plug tray seedling technology is a modern seedling technology that uses peat, vermiculite and other light substrate soilless materials as seedling substrate, mechanically seeds in precision, one hole one seed, and one-time seedling. With the development of technology in the field of seedling, a full-automatic plug tray seedling seeding machine is developed to replace manual seeding. After seeding, the plug tray needs to enter the tray bed, but the plug tray is still manually transported onto the tray bed, which undoubtedly reduces the efficiency of the plug tray entering the bed. After the seedling is completed, the plug tray arranged in the tray bed needs to be transferred to a place outside the tray bed, such as a belt machine or a transfer vehicle, for the next operation, and the plug tray is still manually transported out of the tray bed, which undoubtedly reduces the efficiency of the plug tray out of the bed.

The seedling tray conveying line adopts double-row conveying belts, and the seedling tray jacking mechanism is installed between the two rows of conveying belts.

The sliding table module comprises a door-shaped frame, an X-axis sliding table and a Z-axis sliding table.
