[0056] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the present application provides a tomato seedling planting and fertilizing integrated equipment, which comprises a frame, a ditching and ridging module 100, a tomato seedling conveying module 200, a tomato seedling advancing module 300, a tomato seedling planting module 400, a fertilizing module 500, a covering module 700 and a watering module 600.

[0057] The frame bottom is provided with wheels and is used to move forward and backward. As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 The ditching and ridging module 100 is installed at the front end of the frame and comprises a spiral soil loosening knife 110 and a ditching shovel 140. The spiral soil loosening knife 110 is installed at the front end of the frame and is arranged in the left-right direction. The ditching shovel 140 is installed on the frame and is located below the rear side of the spiral soil loosening knife 110. In this example, the ditching and ridging module 100 further comprises a ditching motor 120 and a rigid coupling 130. One end of the rigid coupling 130 is connected with the shaft rod of the spiral soil loosening knife 110, and the ditching motor 120 is connected with the other end of the rigid coupling 130. The rotation work of the spiral soil loosening knife 110 is realized by driving the ditching motor 120. The ditching shovel 140 has two shovels and is in an arc structure. The two ditching shovels 140 are symmetrically installed at the front end bottom position of the frame. With the forward movement of the trolley, the ditching shovel 140 advances forward and shovels the loosened soil to the middle part. The position of the ditching shovel 140 forms a ditch, and the two ditches form a ridge.

[0058] The tomato seedling conveying module 200 is located at the front side of the frame and at the rear side of the ditching and ridging module 100, and is used to convey the tomato seedlings into the tomato seedling advancing module 300. The tomato seedling conveying module 200 comprises a seedling bin, a conveying belt, a tomato seedling conveying belt 280, a seedling storage plate 281 and a mechanical arm.

[0059] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, each group of conveying belts comprises a longitudinal conveying belt 240 and a transverse conveying belt 250. The longitudinal conveying belt 240 and the transverse conveying belt 250 are both arranged in the horizontal direction. The longitudinal conveying belt 240 in each group is installed on the outside of the frame and is arranged in the front-rear direction. The transverse conveying belt 250 is located in front of the longitudinal conveying belt 240 and is arranged in the left-right direction. One end of the transverse conveying belt 250 extends to the middle part of the front end of the tomato seedling conveying belt 280, and the other end of the transverse conveying belt 250 extends to the front end part of the longitudinal conveying belt 240 outside the frame.

[0060] Specifically, the two ends of the longitudinal conveying belt 240 are provided with elastic couplings 220, one end of which is connected with the longitudinal conveying belt motor 210 through the elastic coupling 220, and the other end is connected with the longitudinal conveying belt fixed bearing seat 230 through the elastic coupling 220, and the longitudinal conveying belt 240 is driven to rotate by the longitudinal conveying belt motor 210. The two ends of the transverse conveying belt 250 are also provided with elastic couplings 220, one end of which is connected with the transverse conveying belt motor 260 through the elastic coupling 220, and the other end is connected with the transverse conveying belt fixed bearing seat 270 through the elastic coupling 220, and the transverse conveying belt 250 is driven to rotate by the transverse conveying belt motor 260.

[0061] Here, the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280 is inclined upward from front to back, and the seedling storage plate 281 is located at the rear end of the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280. The outer surface of the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280 is provided with transverse partitions, and the transverse partitions are uniformly and evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280. The function of the transverse partition is to prevent the eggplant seedlings from falling during transportation.

[0062] The seedling bin has two, which are installed on both sides of the frame, and the bottom of the seedling bin is hollow and located above the longitudinal conveying belt 240 and the transverse conveying belt 250.

[0063] The mechanical arm is installed above the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280 and is used to identify the eggplant seedlings on the transverse conveying belt 250 and place them on the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280. Referring to Figure 4 Specifically, the mechanical arm has multiple, and the multiple mechanical arms are installed above the eggplant seedling conveying belt 280 and slide forward and backward, each mechanical arm includes a mechanical arm body 290, a camera 293, and a gripper, the mechanical arm body 290 is slidably installed on the frame, the camera 293 is installed on the mechanical arm body 290 and is used to identify the position of the eggplant seedlings; the gripper is installed at the end of the mechanical arm body 290 through a connecting rod mechanism and is used to grasp the eggplant seedlings. The top end of the mechanical arm body 290 is slidably installed on the frame through a pulley 296, and a synchronous belt 297 and a synchronous motor are provided between adjacent mechanical arms, and the pulley 296 is fixed with the synchronous belt 297. Here, the top of the mechanical arm body 290 is also provided with a chassis rudder 295, which is used to drive the mechanical arm to rotate around its own axis.

[0064] During the eggplant seedling transport, growers place the seedlings into the seedling bin, which is then conveyed via the longitudinal conveyor belt 240 to the point where it connects with the transverse conveyor belt 250, where it is then transported by the transverse conveyor belt 250. When the camera 293 detects that the eggplant seedling is on the transverse conveyor belt 250 and has reached the set position in front of the robotic arm, both the transverse and longitudinal conveyor belts 240 stop operating. The main servo motor 291 on the robotic arm body 290 begins to rotate, driving the linkage mechanism to move. The robotic arm body 290 descends until the gripper reaches the position of the eggplant seedling and then stops. The gripper servo motor 292 on the gripper then begins to rotate, driving the gears on the circumferential anchor 294 to rotate. The circumferential anchor 294 converges towards the center. Once the circumferential anchor 294 successfully holds the eggplant seedling, the gripper servo motor 292 stops rotating. Then, the main servo motor 291 continues to rotate, driving the robotic arm body 290 back to its initial position and then stopping. Then, the chassis servo motor 295 rotates, turning the gripper direction toward the eggplant seedling conveyor belt 280. After that, the chassis servo motor 295 stops rotating, the gripper servo motor 292 starts to rotate in the opposite direction, the circling pile 294 releases its grip, and the eggplant seedling falls onto the partition on the eggplant seedling conveyor belt 280.

[0065] Then, the eggplant seedling conveyor belt motor 282 starts rotating, causing the eggplant seedling conveyor belt 280 to transport the seedlings upward and backward, and stop after transporting them to the seedling storage plate 281. Subsequently, the synchronous belt motor 298 drives the synchronous belt 297 to start rotating backward. Because the pulley 296 on the top of the robotic arm body 290 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 297, the robotic arm moves backward simultaneously. When the robotic arm moves above the seedling storage plate 281, the synchronous belt motor 298 stops running, the camera 293 identifies the eggplant seedlings again, and after successful identification, the gripper on the robotic arm performs the gripping operation again. After the gripping is completed, the synchronous belt 297 rotates backward again, and the robotic arm stops at the eggplant seedling propulsion module 300. The gripper servo motor 292 rotates to release the grip, completing the purpose of replenishing the eggplant seedlings.

[0066] The eggplant seedling propulsion module 300 is located in the middle of the frame, see [link / reference]. Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a turntable 370 and a propulsion mechanism. The turntable 370 is used to receive eggplant seedlings transported by the gripper. The turntable 370 is an annular turntable 370 with a groove in the middle.

The propulsion mechanism is used to push the eggplant seedlings in the grooves into the eggplant seedling planting module 400.

[0067] Specifically, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing gear 320, a gear motor 310, a fixed frame 330, a pushing rack 340, a sliding rail 350, and a pushing plate 360. The fixed frame 330 is installed on the frame through a fixed shaft and is located in the notch of the annular turntable 370. The sliding rail 350 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 330 along the front-rear direction of the frame. The pushing rack 340 is installed on the sliding rail 350 and is slidingly arranged along the length direction of the sliding rail 350. The gear motor 310 is installed on the fixed frame 330 and is used to drive the gear to rotate and in turn drive the pushing rack 340 to slide along the sliding rail 350. The pushing gear 320 is installed above the pushing rack 340 and is engaged with the pushing rack 340. The pushing plate 360 is composed of a plurality of partitions and a connecting plate. The partitions are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The connecting plate is connected to the top of the partitions. The distance between adjacent partitions is greater than the diameter of the eggplant seedlings. The partition near the rack side is fixedly connected with the rack. The pushing plate 360 is driven to move forward and backward by the forward and backward sliding of the pushing rack 340. The eggplant seedling pushing module 300 further includes a seedling pushing platform 390. The seedling pushing platform 390 is located at the rear side of the pushing plate 360 and is used to receive the eggplant seedlings pushed by the pushing plate 360. The seedling pushing platform 390 is provided with a seedling falling hole above the drill bit base.

[0068] The eggplant seedling planting module 400 is located on the rear side of the frame and includes a duckbill drill bit and a seedling receiving plate 494 assembly. As shown in Figure 6 The seedling receiving plate 494 assembly is used to receive the eggplant seedlings pushed by the pushing mechanism.

The eggplant seedling planting module 400 further includes a lifting rod 470 assembly installed on the frame and used to drive the drill bit opening and closing pieces 490 to open and close.

[0069] Here, the eggplant seedling planting module 400 includes a drill bit screw rod motor 410, drill bit lifting screw rods 420, drill bit guide rail sliding blocks 430, and drill bit fixing members 440. The drill bit lifting screw rods 420 are two in number and are installed on the frame in the vertical direction. The drill bit screw rod motor 410 is installed on the top of the drill bit lifting screw rods 420. The drill bit guide rail sliding blocks 430 are fitted on the drill bit lifting screw rods 420.
