Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the automatic seedling delivery device of the seedling tray transplanter provided by the present invention includes a frame 6 and a seedling tray conveying mechanism 1, the seedling tray conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey the seedling tray 12 containing multiple rows of pot seedlings 14, and also includes: a seedling pushing mechanism 3 and a seedling receiving mechanism 4, the seedling pushing mechanism 3 includes a bracket 38, a reciprocating mechanism 7 and a plurality of seedling pushing rods 29; the bracket 38 is connected to the frame 6; the plurality of seedling pushing rods 29 are distributed along the width direction of the seedling tray 12, each seedling pushing rod 29 corresponds to a row of pot seedlings 14, each seedling pushing rod 29 abuts against the bottom end of the corresponding pot seedling 14, and each seedling pushing rod 29 is used to push the corresponding seedlings 14 in the plug tray 12 out of the plug tray 12; the reciprocating mechanism 7 is arranged on the bracket 38, and the reciprocating mechanism 7 is connected to multiple seedling pushing rods 29, and the reciprocating mechanism 7 is used to drive multiple seedling pushing rods 29 to reciprocate along the height direction of the plug tray 12; the seedling receiving mechanism 4 includes multiple seedling cups 48, and the multiple seedling cups 48 are all connected to the frame 6. The multiple seedling cups 48 are arranged along the width direction of the plug tray 12, and each seedling cup 48 corresponds to a row of seedlings 14. When the seedlings 14 are pushed out by the seedling pushing rods 29, the seedlings 14 fall into the corresponding seedling cups 48.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiment is briefly described:

[0032] When the device is in use, the hole tray 12 is conveyed by the hole tray conveying mechanism 1, and the hole tray 12 moves along its own length direction until the hole tray 12 is conveyed to the top of the seedling pushing mechanism 3, and then the reciprocating mechanism 7 is used to drive multiple seedling pushing rods 29 to move along the height direction of the hole tray 12. Since each seedling pushing rod 29 abuts against the bottom end of its corresponding pot seedling 14, when the seedling pushing rod 29 moves along the height direction of the hole tray 12, the seedling pushing rod 29 pushes the pot seedling 14 out of the hole tray 12, and the pot seedling 14 pushed out of the hole tray 12 slides into the seedling receiving mechanism 4 and is received by the corresponding seedling cup 48, thereby completing the automatic seedling removal of the hole tray 12.

[0033] The automatic seedling delivery and retrieval device of the plug tray seedling transplanter of the present invention can assist the user to retrieve multiple potted seedlings 14 in the plug tray 12 when transplanting the potted seedlings 14 in the plug tray 12, thereby improving the seedling retrieval efficiency and preventing the stems and leaves of the potted seedlings 14 from being damaged when retrieval, thereby improving the survival rate of the potted seedlings 14.

[0034] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to prevent the seedlings 14 from scattering, the seedlings 14 in the pot are prevented from being damaged due to scattering.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the seedling grafting mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod mechanism 18 and an L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2, the connecting rod mechanism 18 is connected to a first rotating shaft 24, the connecting rod mechanism 18 is connected to the L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2, a plurality of baffles 23 are provided on the L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2, and the plurality of baffles 23 are arranged along the width direction of the L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2, the plurality of baffles 23 and the L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2 form a plurality of seedling guide grooves 26, each seedling guide groove 26 corresponds to a seedling cup 48, and each seedling guide groove 26 is arranged above the seedling cup 48 corresponding thereto, when the first rotating shaft 24 rotates, under the action of the connecting rod mechanism 18, each seedling guide groove 26 swings back and forth in a vertical plane, and the seedling guide groove 26 is used to receive the pot seedlings 14 and guide the pot seedlings 14 into the seedling cup 48 corresponding thereto.

[0036] When the first rotating shaft 24 drives the seedling push rod 29 to push the seedling 14 out of the plug tray 12, the first rotating shaft 24 drives the connecting rod mechanism 18 to move at the same time, and the connecting rod mechanism 18 drives the L-shaped seedling receiving plate 2 to deflect downward, thereby increasing the projection area of ​​the seedling guide groove 26 in the vertical direction, so that the seedling 14 can fall into the seedling guide groove 26 more easily. After the seedling 14 falls into the seedling guide groove 26, the rotating first rotating shaft 24 drives the seedling guide groove 26 to deflect upward through the connecting rod mechanism 18, and under the diversion effect of the seedling guide groove 26, the seedling 14 in the seedling guide groove 26 can fall into the seedling cup 48 below more accurately under the effect of its own gravity. By providing an L-shaped seedling receiving plate 2 and a plurality of baffles 23, a plurality of seedling guide grooves 26 are formed. Driven by the connecting rod mechanism 18, the plurality of seedling guide grooves 26 can be driven to swing back and forth in a vertical plane, thereby increasing the projection area of ​​the seedling guide grooves 26 in the vertical direction, so that the seedlings 14 in the pot can fall into the seedling guide grooves 26 more easily, and can fall into the seedling cups 48 more accurately under the guidance of the L-shaped seedling receiving plate 2, thereby preventing the seedlings 14 in the pot from scattering, thereby preventing the seedlings 14 in the pot from being damaged due to scattering.

[0037] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting rod mechanism 18 includes a rocker arm 45, a first connecting rod 28, a second connecting rod 44 and a third connecting rod 42, one end of the rocker arm 45 is connected to the first rotating shaft 24, the other end of the rocker arm 45 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 28, the other end of the first connecting rod 28 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 44 and one end of the third connecting rod 42, the other end of the second connecting rod 44 is hinged to the frame 6, the frame 6 is provided with a vertical slide groove 40, the other end of the third connecting rod 42 is provided with a bearing wheel 41, the bearing wheel 41 is slidably connected in the slide groove 40, the baffle 23 is connected to a fixing rod 49, the fixing rod 49 is connected to the third connecting rod 42, when the rocker arm 45 rotates, it drives multiple baffles 23 to swing back and forth in a vertical plane. When the first rotating shaft 24 rotates, it drives the rocker arm 45 to rotate around the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 24, thereby driving the first connecting rod 28 to swing back and forth, thereby driving the second connecting rod 44 and the third connecting rod 42 to swing back and forth. Under the action of the second connecting rod 44, while the third connecting rod 42 rotates itself, one end of the third connecting rod 42 connected to the bearing wheel 41 also slides in the slide groove 40. The composite motion of the third connecting rod 42 itself can drive the baffle plate 23 to reciprocate in the vertical direction through the fixed rod 49, while the baffle plate 23 itself also rotates back and forth, thereby driving the L-shaped seedling receiving plate 2 to reciprocate and rotate back and forth in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the seedling pot 14 can accurately fall into the seedling cup 48 under the diversion action of the L-shaped seedling receiving plate 2, thereby preventing the seedling pot 14 from colliding with the wall of the seedling cup 48 when falling.

[0038] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a seedling cup fixing plate 46 is provided on the outside of the seedling cup 48, and a seedling cup supporting plate 47 is provided at the bottom of the seedling cup 48.

The seedling cup fixing plate 46 can fix the seedling cup 48 to maintain the stability of the seedling cup 48. The seedling cup supporting plate 47 can support the seedling cup 48 and can be adjusted according to the seedling drop position, thereby further ensuring that the pot seedling 14 can accurately fall into the seedling cup 48.

The first connecting rod 28 and the second connecting rod 44 are both screw rods. Since the screw rod has threads on it, the length of the first connecting rod 28 or the second connecting rod 44 can be changed by adjusting the rotation depth of the fisheye joint joint bearing 43 in the screw rod, so that the first connecting rod 28 or the second connecting rod 44 has variable flexibility, and the change in the length of the first connecting rod 28 or the second connecting rod 44 will change the movement amplitude of the third connecting rod 42, thereby improving the success rate of the L-shaped seedling grafting plate 2 grafting the seedlings 14 in the pot.

When the hole tray conveying mechanism 1 conveys the hole tray 12, the side edge of the hole tray 12 is placed on the supporting side plate 15, and a long pin shaft 9 is stuck between two adjacent rows of seedlings 14 on the hole tray 12. The chain transmission mechanism 30 is controlled to rotate, thereby driving the long pin shaft 9 thereon to rotate. Since the long pin shaft 9 is stuck between two adjacent rows of seedlings 14, the long pin shaft 9 can drive the hole tray 12 to rotate together when rotating, so that the hole tray 12 is transmitted. When the hole tray 12 moves to the seedling guide rod 17, the seedling guide rod 17 is pressed on the top of the hole tray 12, thereby preventing the hole tray 12 from warping and bending deformation, ensuring the accuracy of the landing position of the seedlings 14, and preventing the seedlings 14 from bumping.

[0041] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the chain transmission mechanism 30 includes a driving sprocket 16, a driven sprocket 10 and a transmission chain 11, the driving sprocket 16 is connected to a second rotating shaft 19, the second rotating shaft 19 is pivotally connected to the frame 6, the second rotating shaft 19 is connected to the first rotating shaft 24, the driven sprocket 10 is connected to a fourth rotating shaft 27, the fourth rotating shaft 27 is pivotally connected to the frame 6, the driving sprocket 16 is connected to the driven sprocket 10 through the transmission chain 11, and the long pin shaft 9 is arranged on the transmission chain 11.
