Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of taro planting, and specifically to an integrated taro planting machine. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, intelligent and diversified machinery has gradually permeated every aspect of our lives. In large-scale industrial production, automated machinery is gradually replacing jobs that do not require human intelligence. This shift not only frees up a significant amount of human resources, enabling them to move into high-tech industries, but also reduces production costs, improves efficiency, and reduces production errors caused by human error. The agricultural sector has particularly benefited from the widespread use of mechanization.

[0003] Taro, a perennial crop often cultivated as an annual, belongs to the genus Colocasia in the Araceae family. It ranks fourth in global production among tuber crops, after cassava, potato, and sweet potato, and possesses significant edible and medicinal value. Taro's global consumption ranks second among tuber crops, and its survival rate is closely related to factors such as plant spacing and seed pit depth.

[0004] Taro cultivation is a labor-intensive, seasonal, and time-sensitive activity. In most areas of China, taro cultivation still relies on traditional manual labor. This model is not only labor-intensive, labor-intensive, and costly, but also inefficient in meeting the demands of modern production. Therefore, promoting mechanized and intelligent taro planting is crucial. The use of mechanized seeding equipment can largely address these challenges, allowing growers to experience the benefits and profits of mechanized and intelligent farming firsthand. This is not only an inevitable trend in global agricultural development but also a reflection of human ingenuity.

[0005] Currently, the taro seeding machinery market is relatively unpopular. Existing equipment has numerous shortcomings, and its application scenarios are limited. The taro planting process is complex, involving multiple steps such as digging holes, sowing, fertilizing, applying pesticides, watering, covering with soil, and mulching. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires the collaboration of multiple people. Currently, taro seeding primarily relies on manual labor, livestock, or hand tractors for ridge formation, followed by manual fertilization and seeding. This is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated taro sowing and management machine that can be operated with one click, can automatically complete all planting processes according to vehicle speed and distance, is easy to operate, and is suitable for farmers to use.

[0095] When the seed clamping device 31 is opened, the first open-close door assembly 32 is in a closed state, so that the seeds in the seed placing pipe 311 will not directly fall into the second open-close door assembly 33; after the seed clamping device 31 is clamped, the first open-close door assembly 32 is opened, so that a seed falls into the second open-close door assembly 33. At this time, the seed clamping device 31 is in a clamped state, so that the seeds in the seed placing pipe 311 will not fall; the first open-close door assembly 32 is closed, and the seed clamping device 31 is opened, so that the seeds in the seed placing pipe 311 fall into the first open-close door assembly 32, and a seed is accommodated by the first funnel 324 between the first open-close door assembly 32 and the seed clamping device 31, so that the seed will not be clamped when the seed clamping device 31 is clamped, and the seed will fall into the second open-close door assembly 33 when the first open-close door assembly 32 is opened; the seed is separated, so that there is only one seed in one seed hole; when the seed falls into the seed cup 334 of the second open-close door assembly 33, the fertilizer and insect repellent in the fertilizing module 4 also fall into the seed cup 334 of the second open-close door assembly 33; the second open-close door assembly 33 moves above the seed hole and is opened, and the seed and the fertilizer and insect repellent in the seed cup 334 fall into the seed hole; the second open-close door assembly 33 moves alternately to the left and to the right, so that the seeds fall into the left and right seed holes alternately dug by the hole digging and spade module 2.

[0097] As shown in the figure, the taro placing pipe 311 is made of soft material and has a rough inner wall, so that when the clamping block 313 is relaxed or clamped, the taro placing pipe 311 is deformed, so that the seed taro in the taro placing pipe 311 will not fall when clamped and will fall when relaxed; the inner diameter of the taro placing pipe is slightly larger than that of a single seed taro, so that the seed taro with the pointed end facing upward after manual screening will not flip over during the falling process.

[0098] As shown in the figure, the slider-crank mechanism 312 includes a vertically positioned third motor 3125. The lower end of the third motor 3125 is connected to a gear, and the left end of the gear is additionally connected to a gear of equal size, which is then connected to a large gear. This drives a crank 3123 on the large gear. The lower ends of the left and right cranks 3123 are both connected to the first slider 3121, and the upper ends are both connected to the second slider 3122. This creates symmetrical left-right movement for the slider-crank mechanism 312. When the third motor 3125 is driven, it drives the first and second sliders 3121 and 3122 to reciprocate, causing the clamping device 31 to tighten and loosen. When the third motor rotates a certain number of times, it controls the slider-crank mechanism 312 to move symmetrically, with the left and right sliders at the distal end forming a relaxed state and the left and right sliders at the proximal end forming a clamped state.

[0107] As shown in the figure, the fertilizer and insect repellent area 3341 has a certain horizontal distance from the seedling area 3342, so that the mixed fertilizer and insect repellent have a certain distance from the seedling when they fall into the seed pit, greatly reducing the possibility of seedling burn.

[0108] As shown in the figure, the inner cavity of the seedling area 3342 is a conical cavity that is large at the top and small at the bottom, so that the seedling always falls into the seed pit with the sharp end upward.

[0109] As shown in the figure, the feeding mechanism 41 can achieve different feeding rates by adjusting the speed of the sixth motor 413. In the same time interval, the speed ratio of the Archimedean screw 411 at the fertilizer end and the pesticide end is controlled to control the fertilizer-pesticide ratio.

[0110] As shown in the figure, the fertilization module 4 includes a feeding mechanism 41, a storage bin 42, a Y-shaped pipe 43, and a feeding conduit 44. The feeding mechanism 41 includes an Archimedes screw 411, a connecting rod 412, a sixth motor 413, a fertilizer rack box 414, and a fertilizer gear set 415. The sixth motor 413 is plugged into the front of the storage bin 42. The Archimedes screw 411 is driven by the fertilizer rack box 414, the fertilizer gear set 415, and the connecting rod 412. After passing through the Y-shaped pipe 43 and the feeding conduit 44, the fertilizer and medicine are accurately delivered to the fertilizer and medicine area 3341 of the taro cup 334. In addition, the present invention also provides an adjustment mechanism. By adjusting the speed of the sixth motor 413, the feeding rate of the feeding mechanism 41 can be changed. By adjusting the speed ratio of the Archimedean screws 411 at the fertilizer and pesticide ends within a fixed time period, the fertilizer-to-pesticide mixing ratio can be precisely controlled to meet different fertilization requirements. This design not only improves fertilization accuracy but also enhances the adaptability and operational flexibility of the equipment, meeting the needs of efficient and precision agriculture.

[0111] like Figure 20 As shown, the watering module 5 includes a water inlet pipe 51, a water pump 52, and a water outlet pipe 53 connected in sequence. The water inlet pipe 51 is connected to an external water source, and the outlet of the water outlet pipe 53 is located near the taro cup 334 for watering the taro in the seed pit. The watering module 5 of the present invention is intended to provide an efficient and uniform irrigation solution for taro planting. By precisely controlling the operation of the water pump 52, the module can irrigate in a timely and appropriate manner according to the actual water demand of the taro, optimize the use efficiency of water resources, and promote the healthy growth of the taro.

[0112] like Figures 21 to 22 As shown, the soil covering and film covering module 6 includes a first roller 61 connected to the storage bin 42, a second roller 62 connected to the soil covering shovel 63, the soil covering shovel 63 and a soil covering and film covering movement mechanism 64; the first roller 61 is located above the storage bin 42, the second roller 62 is located above the soil covering shovel 63, and the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 always remain relatively stationary; the soil covering shovel 63 is connected to the soil covering and film covering movement mechanism 64.

[0113] As shown in the figure, the soil covering shovel and soil covering movement mechanism 64 include an eighth motor 641, a soil covering and filming worm gear 642, and a soil covering and filming gear set 643. The eighth motor 641 is connected to the soil covering and filming worm gear 642 through the soil covering and filming gear set 643, and the soil covering and filming worm gear 642 is connected to the soil covering shovel 63. The eighth motor 641 drives the soil covering and filming gear set 643 to rotate, and drives the soil covering shovel 63 to rise or fall through the soil covering and filming worm gear 642, so as to complete the soil covering action of the seed pit.

[0114] like Figures 21 to 22 As shown, the second roller 62 and the covering shovel 63 in the soil covering and film covering module 6 rise and fall together. When they are not in operation, the second roller 62 and the covering shovel 63 rise and are in a storage state. When they are in operation, the second roller 62 and the covering shovel 63 fall, and the soil covering and film covering are completed simultaneously with the advancement of the machine.

[0115] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0116] 1) Place the machine in the field and press Start to begin operation. As the machine moves forward, the counting teeth inside the rim of counting wheel 121 collide with counting limit switch 122. Each time the machine moves a certain distance, a signal is transmitted back to the control module. At this point, digging module 2 performs a digging operation, and seeding module 3 performs a seeding operation.

[0117] 2) The digging and shoveling module 2 is activated. Whenever the control module detects that the machine has advanced to the set seed spacing, the first motor 211 is activated, driving the shoveling gear set 213, which in turn drives the shoveling worm 212, causing the shoveling worm gear 214 and the first crank 232 to rotate one revolution. The lead screw slider 226 on the first crank 232 then rotates the first connecting rod 231 and the second connecting rod 233, thereby causing the shovel to swing up and down to dig a pit. This module is symmetrically located on each side of the machine, and the two operate alternately. For example, when the left-side digging and shoveling module 2 completes a digging operation, the next time the counting mechanism 12 returns a signal, the right-side digging and shoveling module 2 is activated, and the digging operation is repeated in a cycle, so that the machine digs evenly spaced seed pits on the ridges, staggered on the left and right sides.

[0118] 3) When the machine moves forward, several seed taro sprouts are manually screened and put into the taro placing pipe 311 with their tips upwards. When the taro clamping device 31 is opened, the first-level opening and closing door assembly 32 is in a closed state, so that the several seed taro in the taro placing pipe 311 will not fall directly into the second-level opening and closing door assembly 33. As the machine moves forward, the counting wheel 121 of the counting mechanism 12 touches the counting limit switch 122 several times to record the travel distance. After traveling a certain distance, the third motor 3125 in the taro clamping device 31 is driven The crank slider mechanism 312 is moved to a certain phase to clamp the taro clamping device 31, and the left and right fourth motors 321 in the first-level opening and closing door assembly 32 drive the left and right first-level rack boxes 322 to transmit the left and right first-level slide rails 323 to open, so that a seed taro falls into the seed taro area 3342 in the taro planting cup 334 in the second-level opening and closing door assembly 33; the fertilizer and anthelmintic in the fertilizing module 4 also fall into the fertilizer and medicine area 3341 in the taro planting cup 334 in the second-level opening and closing door assembly 33. At this time, the taro clamping device 31 is in a clamping state, so that the several taro seeds in the taro placing pipe 311 will not fall; after a short time, the first-level opening and closing door assembly 32 is closed, and the taro clamping device 31 is opened, so that the several taro seeds in the taro placing pipe 311 fall into the first-level funnel 324 in the first-level opening and closing door assembly 32. After traveling a certain distance, the counting mechanism 12 detects that the second-level opening and closing door assembly 33 moves to a horizontal position close to a pit dug by the pit digging and shoveling module 2, and the second-level opening and closing door assembly 33 starts to move toward the pit. When the end of the taro planting cup 334 away from the pit touches the third limit switch 335, it stops moving. The end of the taro planting cup 334 close to the pit continues to move toward the pit. When the taro planting cup 334 is close to the pit, When one end near the pit touches the first limit switch 331, it stops moving, so that the taro planting cup 334 opens at one extreme end of the secondary opening and closing door assembly 33, and the taro seeds, fertilizers and insecticides therein fall into the pit. The fertilizer and pesticide area 3341 is at a certain distance from the taro seeding area 3342, so that the proportioned fertilizer and insecticide are at a certain distance from the taro seeds when they are put into the seed pit; after a short time, the left and right ends of the taro planting cup 334 move toward the center at the same time and reset in the middle position of the secondary opening and closing door assembly 33; at this time, the left end of the taro planting cup 334 touches the upper second limit switch 333, and the right end touches the lower second limit switch 333; the secondary opening and closing door assembly 33 will move and open and close alternately to the left and right, so that the taro seeds fall into the left and right seed pits dug alternately by the pit digging and shoveling module 2.

[0119] 4) The fertilization and watering modules are activated simultaneously. The sixth motor 413 is connected to the connecting rod 412 via the fertilization rack box 414 and the fertilization gear set 415, driving the Archimedean screw 411 to rotate, achieving quantitative delivery of fertilizer and chemicals. The fertilizer and chemicals pass through the Y-shaped pipe 43 and the discharge conduit 44, and are precisely delivered to the fertilizer and chemical area 3341 of the taro cup 334. Simultaneously, the water pump 52 draws water through the water inlet pipe 51 and delivers it to the taro planting area through the water outlet pipe 53, completing the precise irrigation operation. This simultaneously fertilizes, moistens, and kills insects in the soil.

[0120] 5) Before the machine starts working, the film required for covering is rolled onto the first roller 61; when the machine starts working, the eighth motor 641 in the covering and covering motion mechanism 64 drives the covering and covering gear set 643 to rotate, which is then driven by the covering worm gear 642 to complete the descent, and the film is passed around the second roller 62 and installed on the edge of the soil ridge; when the machine moves forward, the covering shovel 63 will push the soil scooped out by the planing shovel back into the pit to bury the taro, and then the film will be automatically torn open and covered on the soil ridge.
