Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a seedling transplanting and transporting machine and its seedling transplanting process. Background Technology

[0002] In the cultivation of seedlings, seedlings are usually cultivated in nurseries. When they reach a certain growth period, they need to be transplanted to larger plots or other application scenarios to allow them to grow naturally. In order to improve the survival rate of seedlings during transplantation, the soil ball transplanting method is generally used. That is, a soil ball needs to be left at the root of the seedling, and the cross-section of the soil ball needs to be smooth and intact.

[0003] Existing transplanting methods usually involve manually picking up seedlings and placing them on a transport vehicle for transplanting. Chinese patent CN104429812A discloses a seedling transplanting excavator head for a handheld seedling excavator, which digs up seedlings from the nursery by manual digging, which requires a large amount of manual labor and is inefficient.

[0004] Using electric shovels or similar methods to dig up seedlings can easily damage the roots, resulting in poor growth after transplanting. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a seedling transplanting and transporting machine and its seedling picking and transplanting process. This transplanting and transporting machine enables automatic seedling picking and transport, thereby improving seedling picking efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a seedling transplanting and transporting machine, comprising a frame and a seedling picking component that can be raised and lowered at the front end of the frame.

[0007] In the above scheme, preferably, the seedling taking component includes a first seedling taking frame and a second seedling taking frame that rotates with it;

[0008] The second seedling frame is provided with a guide ring, and the first seedling frame is provided with an annular hole that cooperates with the guide ring;

[0009] The first seedling frame is equipped with a drive motor, the drive motor is equipped with a drive gear, and the guide ring is equipped with drive teeth that cooperate with the drive gear;

[0010] When the first and second seedling frames are on the same side and are inserted into the soil, the drive motor drives the second seedling frame to rotate 180° relative to the first seedling frame, thus cutting the soil into a complete soil ball.

[0011] In the above scheme, preferably, the frame is provided with a lifting push rod, and the seedling taking component is located on the lifting push rod.

[0012] In the above scheme, preferably, the lower end of the first seedling frame is symmetrically provided with a cutting component that separates the soil ball from the soil. The cutting component includes a storage rod rotatably disposed on the first seedling frame and a cutting rod movably disposed within the storage rod.

[0013] One end of the cutting rod is rotatably mounted inside the receiving rod, and the second seedling frame is provided with a drive hole that cooperates with the other end of the cutting rod.

[0014] In the above scheme, preferably, the storage rod is provided with a storage groove that cooperates with the cutting rod.

[0015] In the above scheme, preferably, an elastic metal mesh is provided between the cutting rod and the bottom of the storage groove.

[0016] In the above scheme, preferably, the storage rod is provided with a pull rope that drives the storage rod to rotate relative to the first seedling frame, the frame is provided with a pull rope handle, and the pull rope is connected to the pull rope handle.

[0017] In the above scheme, preferably, the lower end of the first seedling frame is symmetrically provided with mounting plates for installing the cutting components, and the storage rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting plates.

[0018] In the above scheme, preferably, the first seedling frame includes a lifting frame and a first frame plate, and the second seedling frame includes a guide ring that cooperates with the lifting frame and a second frame plate;

[0019] The annular hole is located on the lifting frame.

[0020] In the above scheme, preferably, the first frame plate and the second frame plate are made of perforated plate.

[0021] In the above scheme, a preferred method for seedling transplanting using a seedling transplanting transport machine is as follows:

[0022] S1: Drive the transport machine to the nursery so that the seedling picking component is directly above the single seedling, and the center of the first seedling picking frame is concentric with the center of the seedling, and the seedling picking component is in the open position.

[0023] S2: The lifting push rod drives the seedling taking component to slide downward, inserting the first seedling taking frame and the second seedling taking frame into the soil together;

[0024] S3: When the drive motor is powered on, the drive gear rotates. The drive gear drives the guide ring to rotate relative to the first seedling frame through the drive teeth until the second seedling frame rotates 180° and cuts out a complete soil ball from the soil.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention provides a seedling transplanting and transporting machine with a seedling picking component. The seedling picking component can cut the roots of seedlings planted in the soil into complete soil balls and separate them from the soil, thereby completing the seedling picking, improving the seedling picking efficiency while reducing damage to the seedling roots.

[0026] Meanwhile, by connecting the lifting push rod to the seedling taking component, the taken-out seedlings can be placed on the transport machine for easy transportation, which greatly improves transplanting and transportation efficiency and reduces manual labor. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] Example 1: See Figures 1-5 .

[0034] A seedling transplanting and transporting machine includes a frame 1 and a seedling picking component 2 that can be raised and lowered at the front end of the frame 1. The frame 1 is used to transport the picked seedlings. The frame 1 is provided with a conveying mechanism that cooperates with the seedling picking component 2. Specifically, the conveying mechanism can be a conveyor and can slide relative to the seedling picking component 2. When picking seedlings, the conveyor is away from directly below the seedling picking component 2 to facilitate the raising and lowering of the seedling picking component 2. After picking seedlings, the conveyor is moved to directly below the seedling picking component 2, and then the seedling picking component 2 places the picked seedlings on the conveyor, and the conveyor transports the picked seedlings to the frame 1.

[0035] The conveyor can be a belt conveyor mechanism on which multiple empty seedling pots can be placed. After the seedlings are taken out and placed in the seedling pots, they are transported by the conveyor. After the seedlings are taken out and placed on the frame 1, they are transported by the tires at the bottom of the frame 1. The transportation method can be to move the frame 1 manually or mechanically.

[0036] The frame 1 is equipped with a lifting push rod 101, and the seedling taking component 2 is fixed to the movable end of the lifting push rod 101. That is, the lifting push rod 101 is used to realize the vertical lifting and lowering of the seedling taking component 2, so that it can be placed in the soil to remove the soil around the seedling. The frame 1 is equipped with a horizontal push rod 103 connected to the lifting push rod 101. The push rod end of the horizontal push rod 103 is connected to the push rod body of the lifting push rod 101, and is used to drive the horizontal sliding of the lifting push rod 101, so that the seedling taking component 2 has the function of vertical and horizontal position adjustment.

[0037] The seedling-taking assembly 2 includes a first seedling-taking frame 201 and a second seedling-taking frame 202 that rotatably cooperates with it. The first seedling-taking frame 201 includes a lifting frame 210 and a first frame plate 211. Figure 2 As shown, the upper end face of the lifting frame 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the lifting push rod 101, and the lower end face is fixedly provided with a first frame plate 211. The first frame plate 211 is a semi-circular arc plate, and its main body is made of metal mesh plate with a thickness of 1-6mm, which is set according to the size of the seedlings and the size of the frame plate.

[0038] The second seedling-taking frame 202 includes a guide ring 203 that cooperates with the lifting frame 210 and a second frame plate 212. The material and shape of the second frame plate 212 are the same as those of the first frame plate 211, and it is rotatably arranged to cover the outer circular surface of the first frame plate 211. The guide ring 203 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the second frame plate 212. The lifting frame 210 is provided with an annular hole 204. The second seedling-taking frame 202 is slidably arranged in the annular hole 204 through the guide ring 203, and after arrangement, the center of the frame plates of the first seedling-taking frame 201 and the second seedling-taking frame 202 are coaxial. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown; when the second seedling frame 202 rotates 180° along the first seedling frame 201, it forms a hollow cylindrical seedling frame; after resetting (when the first seedling frame 201 and the second seedling frame 202 are placed on the same side), it becomes an open semi-cylindrical seedling frame. Figure 1 The image shows the state during reset.

[0039] The first seedling frame 201 has a lifting frame 210 equipped with a drive motor 205. The output shaft of the drive motor 205 is connected to a drive gear 206. The guide ring 203 is equipped with a drive tooth 207 that cooperates with the drive gear 206. When the first seedling frame 201 and the second seedling frame 202 are on the same side, after being inserted into the soil, the drive motor 205 drives the second seedling frame 202 to rotate 180° relative to the first seedling frame 201 to cut out a complete soil ball from the soil.

[0040] To facilitate the removal of the entire root ball after the first and second seedling frames 201 and 202 cut the soil into a complete root ball (i.e., to allow the seedling to be removed along with the root ball), in this embodiment, cutting components 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the first seedling frame 201 to separate the root ball from the bottom of the main soil body. The cutting components 3 include a storage rod 301 rotatably mounted on the first seedling frame 201 and a cutting rod 302 movably mounted within the storage rod 301. The first seedling frame 201 has downwardly extending mounting plates 208 on both sides. One end of the storage rod 301 is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole of the mounting plate 208 via a pin, and a torsion spring is provided between the storage rod 301 and the mounting plate 208, so that the storage rod 301 is initially in a vertically downward state. Figure 2 As shown.

[0041] One end of the storage rod 301 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 208, and the other end has a pointed end. A pull rope 305 is fixed to the side wall of the storage rod 301 near the center of the first seedling frame 201. The pull rope 305 is vertically threaded upward through the lifting frame 210 of the first seedling frame 201. The frame 1 is provided with a pull rope handle 102. The pull rope 305 is connected to the pull rope handle 102 after passing through the lifting frame 210. Preferably, the pull rope handle 102 can be a bicycle brake handle. Holding the pull rope handle 102 can drive the pull rope 305 to pull the storage rod 301 upward, causing it to rotate around the mounting plate 208 into the first seedling frame 201 until it reaches a horizontal position. Figure 3 As shown.

[0042] The storage rod 301 is provided with a storage groove 304 that cooperates with the cutting rod 302. One end of the cutting rod 302 is rotatably positioned in the storage groove 304 of the storage rod 301, and the rotating end is located at the tip of the storage rod 301. The second seedling frame 202 is provided with a drive hole 303 that cooperates with the other end of the cutting rod 302. When the storage rod 301 is driven to rotate 90° by the pull rope 305 and is in a horizontal state, the end of the cutting rod 302 away from the rotating end falls into the drive hole 303.

[0043] An elastic metal mesh is provided between the cutting rod 302 and the bottom of the storage groove 304. This elastic metal mesh has a fan-shaped mesh surface, such as... Figure 3 As shown, when the storage rod 301 is horizontal, one end of the cutting rod 302 is placed in the drive hole 303. Subsequently, when the second seedling frame 202 rotates relative to the first seedling frame 201, it drives the cutting rod 302 to rotate around the storage rod 301 near the center of the first seedling frame 201, and pulls out the metal mesh, forming... Figure 3 This process separates the bottom of the soil ball from the main soil body, as shown in the diagram.

[0044] A seedling transplanting process using a seedling transport machine is described below:

[0045] S1: Move the transport machine to the nursery, positioning the seedling-grabbing component 2 directly above the individual seedling, with the center of the first seedling-grabbing frame 201 concentric with the center of the seedling, and the seedling-grabbing component 2 in an open position. Figure 1 As shown;

[0046] S2: The lifting push rod 101 drives the seedling taking component 2 to slide downward, inserting the first seedling taking frame 201 and the second seedling taking frame 202 into the soil together, and the storage rod 301 is also inserted vertically into the soil at the same time.

[0047] S3: When the seedling-retrieving component 2 is inserted to the predetermined depth, it stops lifting and lowering. Then, the user pulls the pull rope 305 via the pull rope handle 102, causing the storage rod 301 to rotate to a horizontal position. Figure 3 As shown, at the same time, one end of the cutting rod 302 near the frame wall of the second seedling frame 202 is inserted into the drive hole 303;

[0048] S4: When the drive motor 205 is powered on, the drive gear 206 rotates. The drive gear 206 drives the guide ring 203 to rotate relative to the first seedling frame 201 through the drive gear 207, until the second seedling frame 202 rotates 180° and cuts out a complete soil ball from the soil.

[0049] S5: While the second seedling frame 202 rotates, the cutting rod 302 rotates to cut the bottom of the soil ball to separate it from the soil, and at the same time pulls out the fan-shaped metal mesh to facilitate the support of the soil ball.

[0050] S6: The cut soil ball is lifted onto the frame 1 by the lifting push rod 101 and pushed above the conveying mechanism by the horizontal push rod. Then the second seedling frame 202 is reset to the initial state, the metal mesh is re-stored, the pull rope handle 102 is released, the storage rod 301 is in the vertical state again, and the soil ball falls into the basin of the conveying mechanism. Then the basin containing the seedling is placed on the frame 1 for transportation.

[0051] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the first seedling frame 201 and the second seedling frame 202 have been modified, while the rest are the same as in Example 1. Specifically, the first frame plate 211 and the second frame plate 212 of the first seedling frame 201 and the second seedling frame 202 are modified into conical semi-circular buckets. After the first frame plate 211 of the first seedling frame 201 is inserted into the soil, the second seedling frame 202 is driven to rotate 180°, and the second frame plate 212 rotates to form a conical bucket with the first frame plate 211, cutting the soil ball into a conical shape. Then, the cone-shaped soil ball is directly lifted by the lifting push rod 101.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
