Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pineapple planting, and particularly relates to a flexible clip-type pineapple seedling bundle high-efficiency seedling discharge device and a seedling discharge method. Background Art

[0002] During the pineapple planting process, the seedlings are transported to a seedling-placing device, which then transports them one by one to a seedling-planting device, which inserts the seedlings into the soil. Due to the tall, fluffy, leafy, and high center of gravity characteristics of pineapple seedlings, conventional seedling-placing methods (such as pneumatic or mechanical seedling-picking claws and thimble-type seedling-placing methods) are difficult to achieve efficient and accurate placement during this process.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a pineapple seedling arrangement device that can achieve efficient and accurate seedling arrangement. Summary of the Invention

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism can be implemented using an existing device. For example, the rotary drive mechanism includes a rotary motor and a transmission shaft, wherein one end of the transmission shaft is connected to the main shaft of the rotary motor, and the other end is connected to the drive sprocket 2.

[0035] See also Figures 1-6 The conveying drive mechanism further includes a conveying guide rail 4; a conveying trough is provided on the conveying guide rail 4; the seedling chain 3 is located in the conveying trough;

[0036] In this embodiment, the conveying guide rails 4 are two groups, namely the first conveying guide rail 401 and the second conveying guide rail 402, wherein the first conveying guide rail 401 is arranged on the back side of the seedling chain 3 (that is, the side where the groove 303 is provided) and extends to near the driving sprocket 2; along the conveying direction of the seedling chain 3, the second conveying guide rail 402 is located downstream of the seedling retrieval station and extends to cross the driving sprocket 2, and the second conveying guide rail 402 is located on the front side of the seedling chain 3 (that is, the side where the seedling retrieval port is provided).
