Description
An adjustable mulching and soil covering device and method for sugar beet cultivation Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to an adjustable mulching and soil covering device and method for sugar beet cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Sugar beets are primarily used for sugar production. Their roots contain a large amount of betaine, which gives them their unique color. They are high in sugar, rich in vitamin A, and contain a large amount of potassium. They have become the second largest sugar-producing crop after sugarcane. Sugar beets are a warm-season crop, requiring PE mulch for covering during planting, along with drip irrigation and long hours of sunshine. This results in high yields and sugar content.
[0003] Currently, mulching after beet planting mostly uses mechanical methods, which is costly for large-scale beet cultivation. Traditional mulching methods only cover the sides of the mulch, leaving space in the middle, which is ineffective for wind and weed control. Strong winds or weed growth can damage the mulch, resulting in poor mulching effectiveness. Biodegradable mulch is not very resilient; if the soil is not applied tightly, it can promote vigorous weed growth and weak seedlings. Furthermore, rupture of the biodegradable mulch can affect the normal growth of beets, leading to reduced yields. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance its weed-suppressing effect and improve its soil-covering efficiency. This invention proposes an adjustable mulching and soil-covering device and method for beet cultivation, utilizing an adjustable mulching and soil-covering device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide an adjustable mulching and soil-covering device and method for sugar beet cultivation. This adjustable mulching and soil-covering device and method for sugar beet cultivation integrates automated mulching, soil-covering, and planting, enabling simultaneous automatic mulching and soil-covering operations. It boasts a high degree of automation and can adapt to mulching treatments with varying ridge widths, effectively reducing the costs of traditional mulching and soil-covering methods, as well as the need for manual soil-covering again to suppress weeds. Furthermore, the central soil-covering opening allows for intermittent soil-covering at the center of the ridge and adjustment of soil-covering on the inner side, thoroughly compressing the extension space in the middle of the ridge and preventing damage to the mulch film from strong winds and weed growth. Additionally, it allows for automated planting of sugar beet seeds, further saving labor costs.

Finally, install the unloading drum and the soil covering mechanism on the lower side of the hinge plate using the adjusting frame mechanism and add beet seeds to the storage box.
[0014] Step 2: According to the width of the beet field ridges, adjust the width of the adjusting sleeve through the adjusting frame mechanism so that the soil covering groove is aligned with both sides of the mulch film. Then, adjust the length of the extension of multiple adjusting screws according to the height of the ridges so that the adjusting sleeve is always higher than the height of the ridges.
[0015] Step 3: Adjust the height of the soil-removing bucket using the electric lever so that the bucket is close to the ground for shoveling soil. Then, adjust the position of the adjusting ring according to the soil covering requirements of the mulch film to adjust the size of the soil covering groove opening and control the amount of soil covering.
[0016] Step 4: Start the agricultural vehicle to move the device, unwind the roll to release the mulch film to complete the laying, adjust the screw to contact the ground and drive the adjusting sleeve to roll, the soil bucket scoops up the soil and sends it into the adjusting sleeve from the inner side semi-open opening, and the soil covering groove completes the edge covering of the mulch film, while the central soil covering opening intermittently covers the middle of the mulch film.
[0017] Step 5: After covering with film and soil, adjust the height of the lifting frame using the electric lifting rod at the rear so that the seeding hopper can be inserted into the soil at its lowest point to complete the sowing. Then, start the drive motor, which drives the lower structure to swing up and down through the eccentric disc and hinged connecting rod. At the same time as the seeding hopper is inserted into the soil, the main controller controls the electric control valve to open and release a certain amount of seeds through the seeding hopper into the soil to complete the sowing.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By designing an automated integrated device for mulching, soil covering, and planting, this invention can perform soil covering operations simultaneously with automatic mulching. It has a high degree of automation and can adapt to mulching treatments with different ridge widths, effectively reducing the labor costs of traditional mulching and soil covering. At the same time, the setting of the central soil covering opening allows for intermittent soil covering at the center of the mulch and adjustment of soil covering on the inner side, thoroughly compressing the extension space in the middle of the ridge, effectively playing a role in wind prevention and weed suppression, avoiding damage to the mulch film by strong winds and weed growth. Furthermore, it can automatically plant sugar beet seeds afterward, further saving labor costs. Attached Figure Description
