The upper clamping bottom plate is provided with a clamping groove 0149 for guiding the movement of the grafting clamping strip 0153. The clamping groove 0149 is formed by bolting the clamping groove bottom plate 0108 and the clamping groove cover plate 0109, and is used to guide the movement of the grafting clamping strip. The extension direction of the clamping groove is the front-to-back direction ( Fig.13 The clamping groove bottom plate is connected and positioned on the clamping groove adjustment groove 0131 of the upper clamping bottom plate by bolts, and the extending direction of the clamping groove adjustment groove is from left to right, and the left and right positions of the clamping groove bottom plate can be adjusted through the clamping groove adjustment groove; Fig.13 In the embodiment, the movement direction of the grafting clamping strip in the clamping groove is from front to back.

[0062] Both the rear limit block 0117 and the front limit block 0120 are provided with through holes for the grafting clamp to pass through, and are positioned on the upper clamp base plate by screw connection; the shape of the through hole is the same as the clamp groove 0149, and can limit the length of the grafting clamp strip that needs to be cut (the width of the grafting clamp after cutting); the grafting clamp strip is pulled by the push-clamp pneumatic fingers and enters the rear limit block 0117, the clamp groove and the front limit block 0120 from back to front.

[0069] Before seedlings are placed, the rootstock seedling holder is transported by a pair of docking cylinders to between the V-shaped groove of the seedling holder and the seedling limit opening of the left seedling cutting limit block, and the scion seedling holder is transported by another docking cylinder to the edge of the seedling limit opening of the right seedling cutting limit block, and then the seedlings are placed manually; then, two docking pneumatic fingers extend the scion clamping finger notch 0134 and the rootstock pushing notch 0139 from bottom to top, respectively, and clamp the stems of the rootstock seedling and the scion seedling, respectively, and then the cutter 0224 cuts the stems of the rootstock seedling and the scion seedling, respectively, to obtain the rootstock (the stem with the planting matrix connected after the upper half is removed after the cutting of the rootstock seedling) and the scion (the stem with the cotyledon left after the lower half is removed after the cutting of the scion seedling). The cut rootstock and scion are horizontally placed on the rootstock seedling holder and the scion seedling holder, respectively, with the axis of the rootstock and the scion horizontal to the desktop, and the extension direction of the axis is from front to back.

[0070] The matrix chute 0203 is connected and positioned on the table board and the cutting docking bottom plate by screws at the same time.
