Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of yam planting technology, specifically to an integrated iron rod yam planter. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, while some processes in the cultivation of iron-rolled yam in my country have been mechanized, a field survey conducted in Wenxian County, Jiaozuo, a major yam-producing area, revealed that the local practice still largely relies on mechanical trenching and soil loosening followed by manual sowing. This semi-mechanized sowing method suffers from high labor intensity, inconsistent sowing practices, and hinders subsequent mechanized harvesting. The survey found that the unique characteristics and strict agronomic requirements of yam are key reasons for the limited adoption of mechanized sowing. Current yam planters have limited applicability to different yam seed lengths and trench types; seed separation during sowing can easily damage the yam seed; the soil covering and closing devices are relatively rudimentary and cannot adapt to the requirements of various soil types; and they have poor adaptability to different land conditions, soil properties, and planting methods with varying row and plant spacings. Post-sowing fertilization, soil covering, and other techniques are weak, resulting in a low level of overall mechanization and impacting agricultural labor productivity.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this invention is an integrated iron yam planter, including a rod assembly 1. The rod assembly 1 includes a movable rod frame 11, a support base 123 fixedly installed on the rod frame 11, and a second arc-shaped guide plate 17 fixedly installed on the support base 123. A sliding plate 115 is slidably connected below the second arc-shaped guide plate 17. An arc-shaped guide plate 16 is provided on the inner diameter of the second arc-shaped guide plate 17. The upper end of the first arc-shaped guide plate 16 is fixed to the top of the rod frame 11. An arc-shaped slide rail for placing the horizontal rod is formed between the first arc-shaped guide plate 16 and the second arc-shaped guide plate 17. Limiting baffles are provided at both ends of the first arc-shaped guide plate 16. An arc-shaped groove 116 is opened on the sliding plate 115, and a storage groove is formed between the arc-shaped groove 116, the first arc-shaped guide plate 16, and the second arc-shaped guide plate 17.
[0036] The length of the insert rod is greater than the distance between the first arc guide plate 16 and the second arc guide plate 17. The insert rods are lowered horizontally one by one from above the first arc guide plate 16 and the second arc guide plate 17, and are laid out along the arc slide. The bottommost rod is in the arc groove 116.
[0037] A rotating block 112 is rotatably connected to one side of the insert rod frame 11. An L-shaped push plate 114 is horizontally arranged on the rotating block 112. An arc surface 113 is provided on the rotating block 112. The L-shaped push plate 114 and the arc guide plate 16 are not on the same plane.
[0038] A cylinder 110 is vertically mounted on the insertion rod frame 11. A pressing plate 124 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston rod of the cylinder 110. A sliding groove 125 is provided at the center of the bottom of the pressing plate 124. A push plate 111 is provided on one side of the bottom of the pressing plate 124. The push plate 111 can contact the arc surface 113.
[0039] The sliding plate 115 slides forward, and under the action of the arc groove 116, it drives one of the insert rods forward and exposes it. The remaining insert rods are still between the arc guide plate 16 and the arc guide plate 17. At this time, the cylinder 110 is activated, which drives the push plate 111 to descend. The push plate 111 contacts the arc surface 113, which in turn drives the rotating block 112 to rotate downward and drives the L-shaped push plate 114 to rotate downward. During the downward rotation of the L-shaped push plate 114, it will squeeze one end of the insert rod downward, which will make the insert rod stand up and contact the pressing plate 124. Then, the pressing plate 124 continues to be driven to descend, and the pressing plate 124 inserts the insert rod into the soil. The insert rod can be inserted into the soil intermittently.
[0040] A fixing plate 122 is fixedly installed on the support base 123. A servo motor 117 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 122. A gear 118 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 117. The gear 118 meshes with a rack 119 provided on the fixing plate 122. A push block 120 is fixedly installed on the rack 119. Two connecting rods 121 are movably connected to the push block 120. The two connecting rods 121 are movably connected to the sliding plate 115.
[0041] Start the servo motor 117, which drives the gear 118 to rotate. Through the rack 119, the push block 120 moves, which in turn drives the sliding plate 115 to slide through the two connecting rods 121.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 6-10 As shown:
[0044] A fixed frame is fixedly installed on the insertion rod frame 11, and a rear wheel axle 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The rear wheel axle 12 drives the transmission shaft 19 at the bottom of the insertion rod frame 11 to rotate through a sprocket and a chain 18. Wheels are provided on both sides of the transmission shaft 19.
[0045] A sowing component 2 is provided on one side of the insertion rod assembly 1. The sowing component 2 includes a storage trough 21 fixed on the insertion rod frame 11. Iron yam is placed inside the storage trough 21. A rotating shaft 22 is provided inside the storage trough 21. Multiple slotted rollers 23 are arranged in a circular array on the rotating shaft 22. The rear wheel axle 12 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate through a bevel gear set 13. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the storage trough 21.
[0046] The front wheel rotates, moving the entire seeder, which in turn drives the rear wheel to rotate. The rotation of the rear wheel drives the rear axle 12 via a sprocket and chain 18. The rear axle 12 drives the bevel gear set 13 to rotate, and the bevel gear set 13 drives the slotted rollers 23 via a rotating shaft 22. A single iron yam is placed between every two slotted rollers 23, allowing for intermittent rotation and feeding, and finally being discharged from the discharge port. This structural design also enables the mechanism to turn.
[0047] A fertilizer application component 3 is provided on one side of the sowing component 2. The fertilizer application component 3 includes a mounting plate 31 fixedly connected to the storage tank 21. A wheel is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 31 and the wheel is driven by a motor. A discharge channel 32 is installed on the mounting plate 31. A funnel 33 is fixedly installed at the top of the discharge channel 32. Fertilizer is filled inside the funnel 33. A connecting shaft 37 is rotatably connected inside the funnel 33. One end of the connecting shaft 37 passes through the discharge channel 32 and is connected to the rotating shaft 22. Multiple rotating blades 38 are arranged in a circular array on the connecting shaft 37. A discharge port 35 is opened at the bottom of the mounting plate 31.
[0048] Rotating shaft 22 rotates, driving connecting shaft 37 to rotate, and connecting shaft 37 drives rotating blade 38 to rotate, intermittently feeding fertilizer, which is then discharged through discharge port 35.
[0049] A push cylinder 34 is provided on one side of the feeding channel 32. The push cylinder 34 extends into the feeding channel 32 and is connected to the material blocking plate 36. When the push cylinder 34 is activated, it pushes the material blocking plate 36 to move and block the material.
[0050] The fertilization component 3 is equipped with a trenching component 4. The trenching component 4 includes a connecting block 41 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 31. A connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 41. A plow blade 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 42.
[0051] The connecting rod 42 and the connecting block 41 are connected by a return spring 44, which has good retractability.
[0052] A connecting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the pole bracket 11, and an arc-shaped soil covering plate 15 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 14, with the two arc-shaped soil covering plates 15 forming a V-shape.
[0053] The working principle of the invention is as follows: During the movement of the yam planter, the first step is to dig with the plow blade 43, then fertilizer is applied to the trench through the fertilizer application component 3, then the yam is placed into the trench through the planting component 2, and the soil is covered by the arc-shaped soil covering plate 15. Finally, the pole is inserted into the soil through the pole insertion component 1.
[0054] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
