[0045] As a preferred technical scheme of the embodiment, the grabbing assembly comprises two symmetrical claw rods 19 elastically arranged in a rotating manner away from one end of the rotating base 14, a sliding rod 20 is slidably connected to the rocker arm 6, the sliding rod 20 is movably connected to the outer side of the claw rod 19 through a connecting piece 21, a limiting assembly is arranged on the rocker arm 6 to limit the sliding rod 20 to a position close to one end of the rotating base 14 in the active stroke, the limiting assembly is cancelled when the grabbing assembly corresponds to the feeding position, one end of the sliding rod 20 is slidably arranged through the rocker arm 6, a pulling hook assembly is arranged on the transfer table 5 and matches the sliding rod 20, the pulling hook assembly is hooked with the sliding rod 20 when the grabbing assembly corresponds to the cultivation hole 2, specifically, the inner side of the claw rod 19 is coarsely arranged to ensure that the seedling 3 is not easy to slide off when clamped; the position where the claw rod 19 is hinged to the rocker arm 6 is connected through a torsional spring, so that the claw rod 19 has rotating elasticity, when the claw rod 19 is not stressed, the two claw rods 19 keep close to each other, and the minimum distance satisfies the clamping of the seedling 3; the sliding direction of the sliding rod 20 is along the extension direction of the rocker arm 6, the axial direction of the sliding rod 20 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rocker arm 6; a sliding groove matching the sliding rod 20 is arranged on the side wall of the rocker arm 6; the connecting piece 21 is hinged to the outer side of the claw rod 19, the rotation of the claw rod 19 is transmitted through the connecting piece 21 to make the sliding rod 20 slide along the side wall of the rocker arm 6, when the claw rod 19 is opened, the sliding rod 20 slides towards the rotating base 14, when the claw rod 19 is closed, the sliding rod 20 slides away from the rotating base 14; the limiting assembly limits the sliding rod 20 to a position close to one end of the rotating base 14 in the active stroke, that is, the claw rod 19 is kept in the open state, and the limiting assembly is cancelled when the rocker arm 6 rotates to make the grabbing assembly correspond to the feeding position, that is, when the seedling 3 is fed into the feeding position, the claw rod 19 is closed to smoothly clamp the seedling 3; the sliding rod 20 extends out of the rocker arm 6 in the vertical direction, the pulling hook assembly is used to pull the sliding rod 20, and the pulling direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the cultivation pipe 1 on the horizontal plane, so that when the rocker arm 6 drives the grabbing assembly to rotate and move out of the transfer table 5 and correspond to the cultivation hole 2, the pulling direction of the pulling hook assembly is parallel to the active direction of the sliding rod 20 at this time; the pulling hook assembly pulls the sliding rod 20 to make the claw rod 19 open, and the sliding rod 20 is pulled by the pulling hook assembly and moves to a position close to one end of the rotating base 14 in the active stroke and triggers the limiting assembly to limit, then the claw rod 19 keeps the open state and rotates with the rocker arm 6 to return to the position corresponding to the feeding position, triggers the limiting assembly to cancel the limiting, and the claw rod 19 returns to the clamping state.

[0046] The rotating shaft of the rocker arm 6 is perpendicularly arranged with the rotating shaft of the rotating seat 14, and the height of the rocker arm 6 on the transfer table 5 satisfies the rotation of the rocker arm 6 and the structure thereon without interference.

[0048] As the preferred technical scheme of the embodiment, the limiting assembly comprises a pressing rod 27 elastically movably arranged on the side wall of the rocker 6, the pressing rod 27 is provided with a limiting block 28 capable of extending into the movable stroke of the sliding rod 20, the inner side of the transfer table 5 opposite to the rocker 6 is fixedly provided with an abutting member 29 matched with the pressing rod 27, specifically, the pressing rod 27 is connected between one end inside the rocker 6 and the inside of the rocker 6 and is connected with an elastic member, the elastic member elastically pushes the pressing rod 27, so that the one end of the pressing rod 27 is automatically kept extending out of the side wall of the rocker 6; the pressing rod 27 is arranged close to the one end of the sliding rod 20 not extending out of the rocker 6, the limiting block 28 is triangular, is arranged on the pressing rod 27 close to the side of the sliding rod 20, and is provided with an inclined surface on the side away from the rotary seat 14, capable of wedge-shaped extrusion with the one end of the sliding rod 20 not extending out of the rocker 6; when the sliding rod 20 moves towards the rotary seat 14, the inclined surface of the limiting block 28 can be extruded, so that the limiting block 28 is forced to drive the pressing rod 27 to retract into the rocker 6, and then the limiting block 28 can pass through, and after passing through, the pressing rod 27 is immediately elastically reset and drives the limiting block 28 to be limited on the side of the sliding rod 20 away from the rotary seat 14, so that the sliding rod 20 is maintained at the one end of the movable stroke close to the rotary seat 14, that is, the corresponding claw rod 19 is maintained to be kept open; then, when the pressing rod 27 is pressed by external force, the limiting block 28 is moved back to retract so as not to block the sliding rod 20, so that the claw rod 19 is automatically reset to the clamping position under the elastic rotation; when the rocker 6 is rotated back to the position of the corresponding feeding position of the grabbing assembly, the extending one end of the pressing rod 27 on the inner side of the rocker 6 can abut against the abutting member 29, that is, the pressing rod 27 is passively pressed, and then the limiting of the sliding rod 20 is cancelled.

[0049] As a preferred technical scheme of the embodiment, the hook assembly comprises a telescopic driving unit 30 installed on the transfer table 5, the output end of the telescopic driving unit 30 is provided with a hook body 31, and the side wall of the telescopic driving unit 30 is provided with a pressure switch 32. When the grabbing assembly corresponds to the cultivation hole 2, the pressure switch 32 is pressed and triggered by the abutment of the rocker arm 6 to make the telescopic driving unit 30 retract, otherwise the telescopic driving unit 30 automatically extends. Specifically, the output end of the telescopic driving unit 30 and the hook body 31 form an "L" shape, and the telescopic direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the cultivation pipe 1, and the bending direction points to the direction of the conveying assembly. Under the action of the rocker arm 6 turning over, when the rocker arm 6 rotates to correspond to the grabbing assembly and the cultivation hole 2, the lower end of the sliding rod 20 arranged on the side wall close to the hook assembly penetrates and extends out of the rocker arm 6, and the hook assembly is also correspondingly arranged at the height of the lower end of the sliding rod 20 extending out, and then the lower end of the sliding rod 20 is embedded into the inside of the hook body 31 which is kept stretched out, and because the rocker arm 6 successively abuts and presses the pressure switch 32, the telescopic driving unit 30 starts to retract, thereby pulling the sliding rod 20 to move close to the rotary seat 14, that is, the claw rod 19 away from the conveying assembly side rotates and opens, and until the sliding rod 20 is limited by the limiting assembly, then when the rocker arm 6 rotates back into the transfer table 5, the pressure switch 32 stops triggering, and the telescopic driving unit 30 automatically extends.

[0050] In actual use, the rotating seat 14 drives the rocker arm 6 to rotate, so that the grabbing assembly is first positioned at a position corresponding to the cultivation hole 2, and then the rotating seat 14 drives the rocker arm 6 to rotate, in the rotating process, the positioning gear 25 meshes with the arc-shaped gear rack 26 to drive, and at this time, the worm 22 can be driven to rotate, the worm 22 drives the rocker arm 6 to rotate through the worm gear 23, so that the side of the open claw rod 19 rotates upward, and when the rotating seat 14 drives the rocker arm 6 to approach the loading position of the grabbing assembly, the rocker arm 6 finally rotates by 180°, that is, the open claw rod 19 is switched to the inside of the transfer table 5, when the grabbing assembly corresponds to the loading position, the pressing rod 27 and the abutting piece 29 on the side corresponding to the open claw rod 19 abut, the pressing rod 27 drives the limiting block 28 to retract so as not to block the sliding rod 20, so that the open claw rod 19 is reset to the clamping position under the elastic rotating action, and in this process, the conveying assembly sends a single seedling 3 to the loading position, the claw rod 19 on the outside keeps in the clamping position to ensure that the seedling 3 does not deviate or fall off, and the claw rod 19 on the inside can clamp the seedling 3; then, the rotating seat 14 drives the rocker arm 6 to rotate to the outside of the transfer table 5, in this process, the meshing transmission of the positioning gear 25 and the arc-shaped gear rack 26 does not drive the worm 22 to rotate, so the rocker arm 6 does not drive the seedling 3 to rotate; when the grabbing assembly corresponds to the cultivation hole 2, the end of the sliding rod 20 on the side of the rocker arm 6 away from the conveying assembly is embedded in the inside of the hook body 31, and the rocker arm 6 abuts against the pressure switch 32, so that the output end of the telescopic driving unit 30 triggers retraction, the hook body 31 pulls the sliding rod 20 to approach the rotating seat 14, so that the corresponding claw rod 19 slowly opens to make the seedling 3 be put down and fall into the cultivation hole 2, and the retraction of the hook body 31 stops when the sliding rod 20 approaches the one end of the rotating seat 14 and is limited by the limiting assembly; the above process is repeated, combined with the movement of the transfer trolley 4 and the lifting of the transfer table 5, so as to realize the automatic transplanting work for the three-dimensional soilless cultivation pipe structure.

[0051] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, and it is needless to say that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
