[0022] An automatic yam planting method of the present invention is used in an automatic yam planting machine as claimed in claim 9, and is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0023] S1: The wheel assembly drives the frame to move forward, and the furrowing plow driving device on the frame drives the furrowing plow to descend. The frame drives the two furrowing plows to open two furrows on the land. Then the driving mechanism drives the lower groove worm to rotate, and the rotation of the lower groove worm drives the shallow groove at the bottom of the shallow groove group to move downward. As the lower groove worm rotates, the extension pieces on both sides of the groove body descend along with the rotation of the spiral groove of the lower groove worm on the corresponding side, and smoothly fall along the falling channel surrounded by the first limiting column group and the second limiting column group into the furrow opened by the furrowing plow;

[0024] S2: After the shallow groove is placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and moves the vibration and pressure mechanism to the top of the shallow groove. The vibration and pressure block driving device drives the vibration and pressure block to descend, and the vibrator in the inner cavity of the vibration and pressure block works and vibrates, driving the vibration and pressure block to vibrate. The vibration and pressure block driving device drives the vibration and pressure block to vibrate and press the shallow groove into the groove;

[0025] S3: After the vibration and pressing of the shallow trough is completed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the fertilizer outlet in the fertilizer spreading mechanism to move to the rear end of the shallow trough. The fertilizer spreading drive device drives the two stirring rods and the spiral conveying blades to rotate. The two stirring rods rotate synchronously to stir and crush the fertilizer blocks in the stirring box. The crushed fertilizer falls to the bottom of the stirring box, is conveyed to the fertilizer outlet by the spiral conveying blades, and falls into the shallow trough. With the forward movement of the frame, the crushed fertilizer continues to fall from the rear end of the shallow trough to the front end of the shallow trough, covering the bottom of the shallow trough;

[0026] S4: After the fertilizer in the shallow trough is covered, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the unloading mechanism to move to the top of the shallow trough. The pushing device in the unloading mechanism drives the pushing block to slide outward along the second unloading pipe, and the pushing block drives the yam seed block in the second unloading pipe to move outward until the yam seed block falls into the shallow trough from the port at the outer end of the second unloading pipe, and then the pushing device drives the pushing block to slide inward along the second unloading pipe for reset. After the pushing block moves out of the connection between the first unloading pipe and the second unloading pipe, the yam seed blocks vertically stacked in the first unloading pipe move downward under the influence of their own weight, and the yam seed blocks at the bottom fall into the second unloading pipe;

[0027] S5: After the yam seed block is placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the covering plates on the left and right sides of the bottom of the covering connecting rod to squeeze the soil dug out by the furrowing plow with the covering surface on the covering plate, and the covering surface is pressed back into the shallow growing groove to cover the yam seed block with soil.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the fertilizer spreading mechanism can spread fertilizer in the shallow growing trough, the placing mechanism places the shallow growing trough in the groove, the vibration and pressure mechanism can vibrate and press down the shallow growing trough in the groove, ensuring that the shallow growing trough is placed stably and reliably in the groove, and the soil covering mechanism can refill the soil after trenching into the shallow growing trough, effectively reducing the work intensity of workers when planting yam, reducing labor burden, and improving work efficiency.

[0052] The driving mechanism 34 includes a driving device. A transmission rod 331 is arranged on the top of the lower groove worm 33.

A driven wheel 332 is coaxially arranged on the transmission rod 331. The driving wheel 342 is connected to the driven wheel 332 through a transmission belt. The driving rod 343 is located at the rear side of the first opening 311.

[0054] In this embodiment, the wheel assembly drives the frame to move forward, and the furrowing plow driving device on the frame drives the furrowing plow to descend. The frame drives the two furrowing plows to open two furrows on the land, and then the output end of the driving motor drives the driving rod to rotate synchronously, and the driving rod drives the driving wheel to rotate. The driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the transmission belt to make the four lower groove worms in the placement mechanism rotate synchronously. When the lower groove worm rotates, the extension pieces on the left and right sides of the shallow groove located at the top of the four lower groove worms extend into the spiral groove of the lower groove worm on the corresponding side. As the lower groove worm rotates, the shallow groove located at the bottom of the shallow groove group detaches from the shallow groove group, and under the guidance of the guide column, it falls along the falling channel surrounded by the first limiting column group and the second limiting column group on the corresponding side to the groove opened by the furrowing plow, completing the placement of the two shallow grooves on the left and right.

[0055] After the shallow groove is placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, moves the vibration and pressure mechanism to the top of the corresponding shallow groove, and moves the vibration and pressure block in the vibration and pressure mechanism to the top of the shallow groove on the corresponding side. Then, the cam driving device drives the corresponding cam to rotate, so that the protrusion of the cam presses down the pressure block on the corresponding side, and the pressure block drives the corresponding vibration and pressure block connecting rod to move downward, which in turn drives the vibration and pressure block on the corresponding side to move downward, so that the vibration and pressure block squeezes the shallow groove on the corresponding side. When the vibration and pressure block contacts the shallow groove on the corresponding side, the vibrator in the vibration and pressure block vibrates, strengthening the downward pressure of the vibration and pressure block on the shallow groove, ensuring that the shallow groove is placed stably and reliably in the groove. After the vibration and pressure block is pressed down, the cam continues to rotate, and the protrusion of the cam no longer presses the pressure block downward. The vibration and pressure block connecting rod moves upward under the action of the reset spring, driving the vibration and pressure block to rise until the vibration and pressure block is reset.

[0056] After the vibration and pressing of the shallow trough is completed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the fertilizer discharge port in the fertilizer spreading mechanism to move to the rear end of the shallow trough, and the fertilizer spreading drive device drives the two stirring rods and the spiral conveying blades to rotate, and the two stirring rods rotate synchronously to stir and crush the fertilizer blocks in the stirring box, and the crushed fertilizer falls to the bottom of the stirring box, is transported to the fertilizer discharge port by the spiral conveying blades and falls into the shallow trough, and along with the forward movement of the frame, the crushed fertilizer continues to fall from the rear end of the shallow trough to the front end of the shallow trough, covering the bottom of the shallow trough.

[0057] After the fertilizer in the shallow growing trough is covered, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue moving forward, and the frame drives the unloading mechanism to move to just above the shallow growing trough, and the pushing device in the unloading mechanism drives the pushing block to slide outward along the second unloading pipe, and the pushing block drives the yam seed block in the second unloading pipe to move outward until the yam seed block falls into the shallow growing trough from the port at the outer end of the second unloading pipe, and then the pushing device drives the pushing block to slide inward along the second unloading pipe for reset. After the pushing block moves out of the connecting part between the first unloading pipe and the second unloading pipe, the yam seed blocks stacked vertically in the first unloading pipe move downward under the influence of their own weight, and the yam seed blocks at the bottom fall into the second unloading pipe.

[0058] After the yam seed blocks are placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue moving forward, and the frame drives the covering plates on the left and right sides of the bottom of the covering connecting rod to squeeze the soil dug out by the furrowing plow with the covering surface on the covering plate, and the covering surface is pressed back into the shallow growing groove to cover the yam seed blocks with soil.

[0059] Before placing the shallow trough, the placement mechanism needs to place the shallow trough group at the first opening. The user first lifts the installation piece upward, and the positioning holes on the left and right sides of the installation piece are separated from the corresponding positioning columns. The installation piece moves out of the second opening, and then the shallow trough group is placed through the second opening. The shallow trough group after placement falls through the falling channel surrounded by the first limiting column group and the second limiting column group to the top of the lower groove worm and is located at the first opening. The extension pieces at both ends of the shallow trough at the bottom of the shallow trough in the shallow trough group contact the top of the spiral groove in the lower groove worm on the corresponding side, and then the positioning hole at the bottom of the installation piece is aligned with the positioning column on the frame, and the installation piece is vertically lowered so that the positioning column passes through the corresponding positioning hole. At this time, the installation piece is re-placed at the second opening, and the guide column passes through the corresponding guide hole. During the falling process of the shallow trough, it plays a guiding role for the shallow trough. When excessive water is poured into the shallow trough, the excess water can be discharged outward through the guide hole at the bottom of the shallow trough.

[0060] An automatic yam planting method of this embodiment, used in the above-mentioned automatic yam planting machine, comprises the following steps:

[0061] S1: The wheel assembly drives the frame to move forward, and the furrowing plow driving device on the frame drives the furrowing plow to descend. The frame drives the two furrowing plows to open two furrows on the land. Then the driving mechanism drives the lower groove worm to rotate. The rotation of the lower groove worm drives the shallow groove at the bottom of the shallow groove group to move downward. As the lower groove worm rotates, the extension pieces on both sides of the groove body descend along with the rotation of the spiral groove of the lower groove worm on the corresponding side. During the falling process, the guide hole in the shallow groove descends along the guide column, so that the shallow groove falls smoothly along the falling channel surrounded by the first limiting column group and the second limiting column group into the groove opened by the furrowing plow;

[0062] S2: After the shallow groove is placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, moves the vibration and pressure mechanism to the top of the shallow groove, and the vibration and pressure block driving device drives the vibration and pressure block to descend. The vibrator in the inner cavity of the vibration and pressure block vibrates, driving the vibration and pressure block to vibrate. The vibration and pressure block driving device drives the vibration and pressure block to vibrate and press the shallow groove into the groove;

[0063] S3: After the vibration and pressing of the shallow trough is completed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the fertilizer outlet in the fertilizer spreading mechanism to move to the rear end of the shallow trough. The fertilizer spreading drive device drives the two stirring rods and the spiral conveying blades to rotate. The two stirring rods rotate synchronously to stir and crush the fertilizer blocks in the stirring box. The crushed fertilizer falls to the bottom of the stirring box, is conveyed to the fertilizer outlet by the spiral conveying blades, and falls into the shallow trough. With the forward movement of the frame, the crushed fertilizer continues to fall from the rear end of the shallow trough to the front end of the shallow trough, covering the bottom of the shallow trough;

[0064] S4: After the fertilizer in the shallow trough is covered, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the unloading mechanism to move to the top of the shallow trough. The pushing device in the unloading mechanism drives the pushing block to slide outward along the second unloading pipe, and the pushing block drives the yam seed block in the second unloading pipe to move outward until the yam seed block falls into the shallow trough from the port at the outer end of the second unloading pipe, and then the pushing device drives the pushing block to slide inward along the second unloading pipe for reset. After the pushing block moves out of the connection between the first unloading pipe and the second unloading pipe, the yam seed blocks vertically stacked in the first unloading pipe move downward under the influence of their own weight, and the yam seed blocks at the bottom fall into the second unloading pipe;

[0065] S5: After the yam seed block is placed, the wheel assembly drives the frame to continue to move forward, and the frame drives the covering plates on the left and right sides of the bottom of the covering connecting rod to squeeze the soil dug out by the furrowing plow with the covering surface on the covering plate, and the covering surface is pressed back into the shallow growing groove to cover the yam seed block with soil.
