Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically relating to a transplanting method for preventing seedlings from tilting and a seedling transplanting machine thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Transplanting seedlings is a crucial step in the cultivation of many crops, requiring attention to several aspects, including transplanting time, hardening-off treatment, soil preparation and fertilization, transplanting procedures, and post-transplanting management. When transplanting, select seedlings of uniform size and ensure equal fertilization per planting hole. Handle transplanting carefully to avoid damaging the roots and leaves. Water promptly after transplanting to keep the soil moist and promote seedling growth. Transplanting crop seedlings requires professional skills and meticulous management; only by properly preparing before transplanting and managing afterward can healthy seedling growth and high yields be ensured.
[0003] With the continuous development of agricultural machinery technology, the transplanting of crop seedlings is now mostly done semi-automatically with the assistance of transplanting machines. This reduces labor costs and improves labor productivity, representing an important trend in agricultural mechanization with broad application prospects. For example, "CN202222123187.7 A front-drive self-propelled seedling planting and transplanting composite machine" completes a series of operations such as planting, transplanting, fertilizing, and watering of seedlings in one go. It plants crops in the planting pit in one operation, which not only has high efficiency in planting and transplanting, but also allows the operator to automatically complete all other tasks by simply feeding seedlings into the seedling tray of the transplanting mechanism, resulting in a high degree of mechanization.
[0004] However, when placing seedlings, the aforementioned transplanting equipment directly removes the plastic or non-woven bag from the bottom of the bagged seedlings and places them, along with the cylindrical or inverted frustum-shaped substrate or soil attached to the bottom of the seedlings, into seedling cups on a circular seedling tray, and then transplants them using the seedling placement device 7. During this process, no adjustments are made to improve the stability of the falling of the bagged seedlings after removing the packaging bag, causing the substrate or soil at the bottom to partially fall off during the transfer of the seedlings, resulting in an uneven surface and a shift in the center of gravity. In addition, the duckbill transplanter used in the above solution or existing technology has a conical structure. Due to the large space of the cone, when the seedlings are too small, the center of gravity of the substrate shifts, and the seedlings are difficult to keep upright when they fall to the bottom of the cone. In addition, the uneven bottom of the bagged seedlings ultimately results in the seedlings being transplanted in a crooked or fallen state, which is not conducive to the growth of the seedlings. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a transplanting method and a seedling transplanter to prevent seedlings from tilting, thereby maintaining seedlings in an upright position during transplanting and reducing or avoiding tilting and lodging of seedlings.

[0023] A method for preventing seedlings from tilting when using the above-mentioned seedling transplanter is characterized by including the steps of transporting the seedlings and shaping the substrate or soil at their bottom, as well as the step of placing the seedlings in the seedling holder 7.
[0024] I. Transporting seedlings and shaping the substrate or soil at their base
[0025] ① The seedlings are first placed in the storage tray above the seedling conveying channel 1. The operator manually places them at the beginning of the seedling conveying channel 1. At this time, the bottom of the movable baffle 4 is at the beginning of the seedling conveying channel 1 to support the seedlings. After the seedlings are placed on it, they are accommodated between the bottom and top of the movable baffle 4.
[0026] ②The positioning shaft 10 in the seedling substrate or soil shaping device rises upward. Under the clamping of the bottom and top of the movable baffle 4, the tip of the positioning shaft 10 penetrates into the center or near the center of the seedling substrate or soil, thereby positioning the seedling substrate or soil.
[0027] ③ The adjustment motor on the movable baffle 4 is activated, which drives the lever to rotate the bottom of the movable baffle 4 by a certain angle. The bottom of the movable baffle 4 exposes the bottom of the seedling. The bottom trimming plate 8 and the side trimming plate 9 in the shaping device are driven by their motors to trim the substrate or soil at the bottom of the seedling, remove or partially remove the hardened layer at the bottom, and shape it into a structure with an upward concave conical space. This space can accommodate the small soil clods that protrude from the bottom of the pond after the seedling falls, preventing tilting caused by uneven ground. At the same time, the shaping process can adjust the overall center of gravity of the seedling and improve its stability.
[0028] ④ After the seedlings have completed bottom shaping at the beginning of the seedling conveying channel 1, the motor is adjusted to operate again, driving the vertically set arc-shaped push plate 5 on the side of the movable baffle 4 to rotate towards the rotary conveyor belt 3, pushing the shaped seedlings onto the rotary conveyor belt 3, which then transports the seedlings to the seedling placement device 7.
[0029] Placement of seedlings in seedling container 7
[0030] ① The seedlings are sent by the rotary conveyor belt 3 to the seedling placement device 7 above the seedling conveying channel 1. Before the seedlings arrive, the bottom of the movable baffle 4 set below the outlet end of the seedling conveying channel 1 is closed. After the seedlings are sent to it and stop, the bottom of the movable baffle 4 rotates and opens, and the seedlings enter the seedling placement device 7 through the guide cylinder.
[0031] ②The seedlings enter the beak of the seedling holder 7. The three-section arc transition structure of the inner wall of the two sides of the beak opening and closing piece 21 forms a surface support and holds the seedlings in turn. The first arc 21-2 and the second arc 21-3 form two force support parts to keep the seedlings upright.
[0032] ③ The duckbill is inserted into the soil, and the traction line 19 is pulled. The two opening and closing pieces 21 open outwards respectively. The seedling is kept vertical and falls into the pond. The conical space and edge structure of the bottom of the seedling are in contact with the bottom of the pond. Then the test piece is lifted while it is still open. The surrounding soil returns to its original position and the substrate or soil part of the seedling is buried. The transplanting work is completed.
[0033] Beneficial effects: The seedling transplanter described in this application first removes the compacted layer of substrate or soil at the bottom of the seedling, which is conducive to the downward development of the root system. At the same time, it trims the bottom of the seedling into a shape with a regular center of gravity and high adaptability. Then, the seedling is sent to the seedling placer 7. The opening and closing plate 21 with special support and clamping structure in the seedling placer 7 keeps the seedling stable during the falling process and prevents it from tilting or leaning. Finally, the seedling placer 7 is raised, the soil covers the seedling, and the seedling falls into a vertical and correct state. Attached Figure Description

8. A method for preventing seedling tilting during transplanting using a seedling tilt-prevention transplanter as described in claim 1, characterized in that, This includes the steps of transporting the seedlings and shaping the substrate or soil at their bottom, as well as the steps of placing the seedlings in the seedling holder (7); I. Transporting seedlings and shaping the substrate or soil at their base ①The seedlings are first placed in the storage tray above the seedling conveying channel (1), and the operator manually places them at the beginning of the seedling conveying channel (1); at this time, the bottom of the movable baffle (4) is at the beginning of the seedling conveying channel (1) to support the seedlings. After the seedlings are placed on it, they are accommodated between the bottom and top of the movable baffle (4). ②The positioning shaft (10) in the seedling substrate or soil shaping device rises upward. Under the clamping of the bottom and top of the movable baffle (4), the tip of the positioning shaft (10) penetrates into the center or near the center of the seedling substrate or soil, and plays a positioning role for the seedling substrate or soil. ③ The adjustment motor on the movable baffle (4) moves, driving the lever to rotate the bottom of the movable baffle (4) by a certain angle. The bottom of the movable baffle (4) exposes the bottom of the seedling. The bottom trimming plate (8) and the side trimming plate (9) in the shaping device trim the substrate or soil at the bottom of the seedling under the drive of its motor, removing or partially removing the hardened layer at the bottom, and shaping it into a structure with an upward concave conical space. This space can accommodate the small soil clods that protrude from the bottom of the pond after the seedling falls, preventing the tilt caused by uneven ground. At the same time, the shaping process can adjust the overall center of gravity of the seedling and improve its stability. ④ After the seedlings have completed bottom shaping at the starting end of the seedling conveying channel (1), the motor is adjusted to operate again, driving the arc-shaped push plate (5) vertically set on the side of the movable baffle (4) to rotate towards the rotary conveyor belt (3), pushing the shaped seedlings onto the rotary conveyor belt (3), which then transports the seedlings to the seedling placement device (7). Placement of seedlings in seedling container (7) ①The seedlings are sent to the seedling placement device (7) above the seedling channel (1) by the rotary conveyor belt (3). Before the seedlings arrive, the bottom of the movable baffle (4) set below the outlet end of the seedling channel (1) is closed. After the seedlings are sent to it and stop, the bottom of the movable baffle (4) is rotated open, and the seedlings enter the seedling placement device (7) through the guide tube. ②The seedlings enter the beak of the seedling holder (7). The three-section arc transition structure of the inner wall of the two sides of the beak opening and closing piece (21) forms a surface support and holds the seedlings. In addition, two force support parts are formed in the first arc (21-2) and the second arc (21-3) to keep the seedlings upright. ③ The duckbill is inserted into the soil and the traction line (19) is pulled. The two opening and closing pieces (21) open outwards respectively. The seedling is kept vertical and falls into the pond. The conical space and edge structure of the bottom of the seedling are in contact with the bottom of the pond. Then the test piece is lifted while it is open. The surrounding soil returns to its original position and the substrate or soil part of the seedling is buried. The transplanting work is completed.
