[0068] (2) Integrated device for cultivating trays, pots, and soil layering

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the integrated device 1 for spreading and spreading soil in the seedling trays is a key component of the seedling production line.

[0070] The cultivation tray spreading and soil-laying integration device 1 is connected to the conveying device 7, and the frame height is consistent after connection. The tray lifting mechanism 1.2 is installed below the integration device frame 1.1, pushing the empty trays 8.1 placed on the tray plate 1.2.6 upward one by one. The top block assembly 1.3 is installed on both sides of the integration device frame 1.1. The top block in the top block assembly 1.3 is horizontally attached to the top block fixing plate, and the top block can rotate upward around the pin axis. The tray pushing cylinder module 1.4 is installed at the rear end of the integration device frame 1.1, and the cylinder pushing plate can be pushed forward. The spreading mechanism 1.5 is fixed above the integration device frame 1.1, and the soil-laying mechanism 1.6 is installed at the top of the integration device frame 1.1. The soil box 1.6.1 of the soil-laying device passes through the base plate 1.5.7 of the spreading mechanism, and the base plate 1.5.7 can move up and down. The conveying wheel 1.8 and the roller brush 1.7 are installed at the front end of the integration device frame 1.1 through the diamond bearing seat 1.9, providing forward power for the cultivation tray 8 and smoothing out excess substrate.

[0071] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting disc mechanism 1.2 includes: servo motor I 1.2.1, servo motor I fixed plate 1.2.2, lifting disc guide rod 1.2.3, linear bearing mounting plate 1.2.4, lifting disc linear bearing 1.2.5, supporting plate 1.2.6, buffer block 1.2.7, lifting disc screw rod 1.2.8, lifting disc screw rod nut 1.2.9, synchronous pulley mounting shaft sleeve 1.2.10, large synchronous pulley 1.2.11, synchronous belt 1.2.12, small synchronous pulley 1.2.13 and other components. The lifting disc mechanism 1.2 is installed below the integrated device rack 1.1 as a whole through the servo motor fixed plate 1.2.2 and the linear bearing mounting plate 1.2.4. The lifting disc mechanism 1.2 drives the small synchronous pulley 1.2.13 to move by the servo motor I 1.2.1, at the same time drives the lifting disc screw rod nut 1.2.9 connected with the large synchronous pulley 1.2.11 to rotate, drives the lifting disc screw rod 1.2.8 and the supporting plate 1.2.6 connected with the top end of the lifting disc screw rod 1.2.8 to make lifting action, when the supporting plate rises to the top end, the last tray 8.1 on the supporting plate completes the disc feeding, the supporting plate will return to the lowest point under the action of the servo motor, and the full tray continues the next disc lifting operation, and the lifting disc guide rod 1.2.3 can keep the stability of the supporting plate 1.2.6 carrying the tray.

[0072] As shown, Figure 4 The exhibition tray mechanism 1.5 includes: stepper motor 1.5.1, exhibition tray linear bearing 1.5.2, buffer sleeve 1.5.3, screw nut 1.5.4, coupling 1.5.5, stepper motor fixed plate 1.5.6, exhibition tray base plate 1.5.7, transverse guide rod fixed plate 1.5.8, exhibition tray piece 1.5.9, transverse guide rod 1.5.10, transverse screw rod 1.5.11, transverse sliding block 1.5.12, longitudinal guide rail fixed plate 1.5.13, longitudinal sliding block 1.5.14, longitudinal guide rod 1.5.15, longitudinal screw rod 1.5.16, screw rod bearing 1.5.17 and other components. The exhibition tray mechanism 1.5 is fixed as a whole through the four longitudinal guide rail fixed plates 1.5.13 and the integrated device rack 1.1, at the same time the stepper motor fixed plate 1.5.6 is also installed on the integrated device rack 1.1 to prevent the motor from rotating. The exhibition tray mechanism 1.5 drives the screw rod to rotate and converts the rotary motion of the screw rod into the linear motion of the sliding block through the three stepper motors 1.5.1, so that the exhibition tray base plate 1.5.7 installed on the longitudinal sliding block 1.5.14 can move up and down, and the exhibition tray piece 1.5.9 installed on the transverse sliding block 1.5.12 can move left and right, and the exhibition tray piece 1.5.9 can complete the exhibition tray operation.

The soil-laying mechanism 1.6 is fixed to the top of the integrated device frame 1.1 with screws on both sides, and the lower end of the soil box 1.6.1 passes through the base plate 1.5.7 of the spreading mechanism 1.5. The soil-laying mechanism 1.6 drives the feeding roller 1.6.3 on one side via a chain drive through the servo motor II 1.6.7. The gear 1.6.9 on the other side of the soil box 1.6.1 meshes with each other, and the four feeding rollers 1.6.3 rotate simultaneously. The substrate in the soil box 1.6.1 is transported through the grooves of the feeding rollers 1.6.3 to the lower outlet of the soil box, thus completing the soil-laying operation.

[0074] The working principle of the cultivation tray spreading and soil-laying integration device is as follows: Before operation, the two spreading pieces of the spreading mechanism (installed on the horizontal guide rod fixing plate and the horizontal slider respectively) are manually inserted into the two sides of the paper pot. The device is then started. The spreading piece installed on the horizontal guide rod fixing plate remains stationary, while the spreading piece installed on the horizontal slider unfolds under the action of the slider, thus unfolding the paper pot. Subsequently, the servo motor I of the lifting mechanism rotates at a certain angle, driving the pallet to rise one tray distance. As the pallet rises, it pushes open the top block assembly (4 top blocks) and lands on the reset top blocks. Then, the servo motor II of the soil-laying device rotates at a certain angle. Four feeding rollers are driven to fill the cultivation trays with substrate, preventing the paper pots from shrinking back. Then, the base plate of the spreading mechanism is driven upward by the longitudinal slider to pull the spreading pieces out from both sides of the paper pot, thus completing the integrated operation of spreading and integrating the cultivation trays. Finally, the pushing cylinder module pushes the integrated cultivation trays onto the conveyor rollers. The cultivation trays move towards the conveying device under the drive of the conveyor rollers. When passing through the roller brush, excess substrate is brushed off and leveled. At the same time, the pushing cylinder module performs a reset action, and the stepper motor of the spreading mechanism controls the base plate to move downward and the right spreading piece to retract, preparing for the next integration and production of cultivation trays.

[0075] (3) Acupressure device

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the main function of the pressing device 2 is to press out the sowing holes and compact the substrate. The device includes: pressing device mounting frame 2.1, pressing head 2.2, pressing plate 2.3, connecting plate 2.4, pressing cylinder module 2.5 and other components.

[0077] The whole press hole device 2 is fixed on the leftmost side above the rack 7.1 of the conveying device 7 through the two side mounting frames 2.1, and the two press hole cylinder modules 2.5 are fixed inside the two side mounting frames 2.1. The press hole cylinder modules 2.5 are connected with the pressing plate 2.3 through the connecting plate 2.4, the press hole heads 2.2 are installed on the pressing plate 2.3 according to the size of the unfolded paper pot, and the press hole heads 2.2 ensure that each press hole head is pressed into the center of the corresponding pot body.

[0078] The working principle of the press hole device is as follows: the cultivation tray is moved to the press hole device under the driving of the conveying device, and the micro switch at the position is triggered when the cultivation tray passes the right side of the press hole device. The conveying device stops working and delays for a period of time. During the period of time, the cultivation tray is accurately stopped right below the press hole device. The press hole cylinder modules drive the pressing plate to move downward. The press hole heads press small pits on the cultivation tray full of substrate, which is convenient for seeding and plays a role in compacting the loose substrate. Then the press hole cylinder modules reset, and the conveying device continues to work to advance the cultivation tray to the next seedling cultivation process.

[0079] (4) Precise alignment and precision seeding device

[0080] As shown in Figure 7 , the precise alignment and precision seeding device 3 is the core component of the paper pot seedling production line, and the main functions are precise alignment of the seed guide pipe, precision control of the seed quantity of the filling hole, and driving of the seeding mechanism to complete the seeding operation.

[0087] Working principle of the soil covering device: The cultivation tray moves towards the soil covering device under the drive of the conveyor. When it passes the right side of the soil covering device, it triggers the micro switch at that position. The soil covering pulley and the stirring shaft start to rotate. The conveyor continues to move the cultivation tray forward. The soil covering belt transports the substrate above it to the right end and it falls into the cultivation tray. The stirring shaft can stir the substrate, which helps the substrate fall onto the soil covering belt. When the entire cultivation tray passes the micro switch, the micro switch resets, and the soil covering pulley and the stirring shaft stop rotating, completing the soil covering operation of the cultivation tray.

[0088] (6) Spraying device

[0089] like Figure 9The main function of the spraying device 5 is to spray water and fertilizer on the covered cultivation tray, which includes the spraying device mounting frame 5.1, end cap 5.2, spray pipe 5.3, nozzle 5.4, elbow 5.5, water supply pipe 5.6, water pump 5.7 and other components.

[0095] Working principle of the stacking tray device: The seedling trays, once completed, move towards the stacking tray device under the drive of the conveyor. When they reach the rightmost end of the stacking tray device, a micro switch at that position is triggered. The conveyor stops working and delays for a period of time. During this time, the seedling tray stops precisely in the middle of the stacking tray device. The stacking tray cylinder drives the pusher plate to push the seedling tray upwards. As the seedling tray rises, it pushes open the top block and falls onto the reset top block. Then the stacking tray cylinder resets, and the conveyor continues to work, carrying the next seedling tray towards the stacking tray device. The above stacking operation is repeated to complete the orderly stacking of the seedling trays.

[0096] (8) Conveying device

[0097] like Figure 11 As shown, the main function of the conveying device 7 is to convey the cultivation tray and provide operating signals for each device by triggering the micro switch.

[0099] Working principle of the conveying device: During operation, the DC motor drives the rightmost conveyor belt pulley to rotate, and the two conveyor belts move clockwise from left to right. When the potting and soil-laying integration device pushes the cultivation tray to the leftmost side of the conveying device, the conveying device drives the cultivation tray to move from left to right, passing through the microswitches installed at the corresponding positions of the pressing, covering, spraying and stacking devices in sequence. Each device works together to execute the corresponding operation instructions, and finally completes the conveying task of the paper pot seedling production line.
