Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of garlic planting, specifically to an integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device and its working method. Background Technology
[0002] Precision directional sowing is the most suitable sowing method for high-quality and high-yield garlic cultivation. It has certain advantages in terms of automatic film breaking rate, emergence time, stem length, bulb diameter and bulb weight. Garlic seed orientation is one of the key technologies for garlic sowing. Existing garlic seed orientation devices mainly include water floating method, spiral spring method, seed bud tip method and multi-layer cone cup method. These mechanical seed orientation methods generally take advantage of the garlic's center of gravity being close to the tail or the slender seed bud tip. This method has extremely high requirements for the physical properties of garlic and is prone to causing inaccurate bud alignment.
[0003] Chinese patent (publication number CN 110278749 B, publication date 20190927) discloses a garlic automatic orientation control planter based on machine vision. An image acquisition device captures images of garlic seeds, processes the images to determine the orientation of the garlic seed scales, and sends commands to control a flipping orientation motor to rotate the inoculation groove clockwise or counterclockwise. The inoculation groove flips downwards, allowing the garlic seed to fall into the duckbill opening and closing mechanism with the scales facing upwards. When the duckbill opening and closing mechanism approaches its lowest position, it contacts the duckbill opening and closing control track, causing the duckbill opening and closing plate to rotate and open the duckbill. This method adjusts the garlic seed by changing the orientation of the inoculation groove, but the adjustment is complex and prone to problems such as garlic seed displacement and slippage during the adjustment process, making it difficult to meet the demand for rapid supply of garlic seeds after the scales have been aligned during planting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] In a typical embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 1-5 , a garlic sowing integrated correct bud device is given.
[0038] In the field of garlic seeding, the existing seeding device is difficult to realize effective cooperation of the positive bud action and the insertion seeding action in time and space, cannot accurately control the scale bud orientation of the single garlic seed 2 through machine vision, and cannot be closely combined with the insertion seeding action, so that the garlic seed 2 cannot be guaranteed to be planted in the best upright planting posture when seeding, which affects the growth and development of garlic and the final yield. Based on this, the embodiment provides a garlic seeding integrated positive bud device, which uses a position sensor to identify the position of the insertion seeding duckbill to control the feeding time, so that the middle clamping groove 9 arranged in the insertion seeding duckbill can accurately receive the garlic seed 2, and an image acquisition element is used to identify the posture of the garlic seed 2 on the middle clamping groove 9, and a blocking brush 10 is arranged to accurately disturb the falling process of the garlic seed 2, so that the garlic seed 2 can be fed in the posture of the scale bud facing, meeting the planting requirements, adopting the single garlic seed 2 falling control of the fusion of mechanical structure and machine vision, achieving the effects of time synchronization and seamless connection of the positive bud action and the insertion seeding action, and spatial accurate control of the scale bud orientation of the single garlic seed 2 through machine vision, realizing upright planting of each garlic seed 2, and fundamentally improving the seeding positive bud rate.
[0039] As shown in Figures 1-5 The garlic seeding integrated positive bud device includes a feeding assembly, an identification assembly and an insertion seeding assembly, wherein the feeding assembly is used to obtain and feed the garlic seed 2, the identification assembly can identify the position of the insertion seeding duckbill working on the insertion seeding assembly and the posture of the garlic seed 2 in the insertion seeding duckbill, and the insertion seeding duckbill can receive the garlic seed 2 and seed after posture adjustment.
[0040] Specifically, the feeding assembly is composed of a conveying groove 1 and an adjusting clamping groove 6 in abutment, and the adjusting clamping groove 6 is installed on a shelf plate 4. The conveying groove 1 serves as an initial conveying channel for the garlic seed 2, and orderly conveys the garlic seed 2 to the adjusting clamping groove 6. The adjusting clamping groove 6 provides a relatively stable transition space for the garlic seed 2, and preliminarily arranges and positions the garlic seed 2, so as to ensure that the garlic seed 2 is in a relatively regular state when entering the subsequent processing link, and the shelf plate 4 provides stable support for the adjusting clamping groove 6, so as to ensure the stability of the whole feeding process.
[0041] The position sensor and the image acquisition element in the identification assembly are respectively located on both sides of the adjusting clamping groove 6. The position sensor is mainly responsible for monitoring the relative position relationship between the insertion seeding duckbill and the adjusting clamping groove 6. In the embodiment, the position sensor can adopt a photoelectric sensor 17, and the working principle thereof is to sense the proximity of the insertion seeding duckbill, and timely send a signal to ensure that the garlic seed 2 can accurately and correctly fall into the insertion seeding duckbill at the right time, so as to avoid the situation that the garlic seed 2 is fed too early or too late. The image acquisition element can adopt a collection camera 5 to obtain the posture information of the garlic seed 2, clearly capture the shape features of the garlic seed 2 through existing machine vision technology, especially the orientation of the scale bud, and provide key data basis for the subsequent posture adjustment of the garlic seed 2.
[0042] The core of the intercalation assembly is an intercalation duckbill which is kept vertical around the working axis and is located below the shelf plate 4 and the adjusting slot 6. The intercalation duckbill can rotate under the drive of an external rotary drive device, and the rotation axis of the external rotary drive device is the working axis of the intercalation assembly. In order to ensure the process of the normal bud of the garlic seed 2, the intercalation duckbill can be rotationally connected with the external rotary drive device, so that the intercalation duckbill can be kept in a vertical state. The intercalation duckbill is internally provided with a cavity which is open at the top, and the middle clamping groove 9 is installed in the cavity, which skillfully divides the cavity into an adjusting cavity 7-1 and an execution cavity 7-2. The middle clamping groove 9 receives the garlic seed 2 output from the adjusting slot 6, and when the garlic seed 2 enters the adjusting cavity 7-1, the barrier brush 10 located in the adjusting cavity 7-1 starts to work according to the posture information of the garlic seed 2 obtained by the image acquisition element.
[0043] Specifically, the intercalation duckbill is kept vertical around the working axis and is located below the shelf plate 4 and the adjusting slot 6, which ensures that the garlic seed 2 can smoothly fall into the intercalation duckbill from the upper adjusting slot 6 under the action of gravity, and can realize the action of soil intercalation in the subsequent movement. The intercalation duckbill is provided with a cavity which is open at the top, which provides a spatial basis for the receiving, adjusting and conveying of the garlic seed 2, so that the garlic seed 2 can complete the posture adjustment and intercalation process in the intercalation duckbill according to the predetermined process.
[0044] The middle clamping groove 9 is installed in the cavity of the intercalation duckbill, and its function is to receive the garlic seed 2 output from the adjusting slot 6. By dividing the cavity into the adjusting cavity 7-1 and the execution cavity 7-2, the garlic seed 2 can be processed in stages after entering the cavity.
[0045] The middle clamping groove 9 is a plate member with a V-shaped section, and along the distribution direction of the garlic seed 2 containing groove, the special V-shaped structure helps to preliminarily adjust the posture of the garlic seed 2 to some extent, so that the garlic seed 2 is more easily operated by the subsequent barrier brush 10, and the success rate and efficiency of posture adjustment are improved.
[0046] The barrier brush 10 is inserted into the adjusting cavity 7-1, and its main function is to disturb the garlic seed 2 in the execution cavity 7-2 according to the posture of the garlic seed 2 obtained by the image acquisition element, so as to realize the adjustment purpose of the scale bud of the garlic seed 2 upward.
[0047] The barrier brush 10 can pertinently disturb the garlic seed 2, so that the scale bud of the garlic seed 2 is gradually adjusted to the ideal state of upward during the process of falling into the execution cavity 7-2, thereby realizing the organic combination of the normal bud treatment and the intercalation action of the garlic seed 2.
[0048] By simplifying the garlic seed 2 adjustment process and stabilizing the garlic seed 2 position, the interruption and repeated operation caused by the complexity of the garlic seed 2 adjustment are effectively reduced. The garlic seed 2 can maintain a stable rhythm during transportation, adjustment and insertion, and quickly and accurately fall into the soil, compared with the traditional seeding method or the existing technology with defects, more seeding tasks can be completed in the same time, the seeding efficiency is greatly improved, and the large-area seeding of the garlic seed 2 planting can be completed within the best agricultural time, which provides a strong guarantee for the seasonal task of agricultural production.
[0049] The close combination and accurate control of the positive bud action and the insertion action are realized, and each garlic seed 2 can be seeded into the soil in the posture of vertical planting. The accurate seeding mode enables the garlic to obtain good growth conditions in the early growth stage, the root system can grow vertically downward, better absorbing the nutrients and water in the soil, and the aboveground part can also maintain a neat growth posture, reducing the problems of poor growth and seedling shortage caused by poor posture of the garlic seed 2, and significantly improving the seeding quality, laying a solid foundation for high yield of garlic.
[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , in order to facilitate the description of the working process of the insertion duckbill, the closed loop motion path of the insertion duckbill is divided into response section, receiving section, adjustment section, insertion section and reset section, and the identification area of the in-place sensor corresponds to the response section, so as to timely sense the relative position of the insertion duckbill and the adjustment slot 6 and trigger the subsequent action; the identification area of the image acquisition element corresponds to the receiving section, and the posture information of the garlic seed 2 is acquired when the garlic seed 2 enters the key position. The intermediate slot 9 receives the garlic seed 2 at the junction of the response section and the receiving section, ensures that the garlic seed 2 enters the subsequent processing flow at the appropriate space-time node, and the intermediate slot 9 and the cavity inside the insertion duckbill can adjust the posture of the garlic seed 2 when running in the adjustment section. The insertion duckbill can insert into the soil layer to form a hole and realize the seeding of the garlic seed 2 in the insertion section. After completing the seeding, the insertion duckbill runs in the reset section and gradually reaches the response section to perform the next round of receiving and positive bud process, realizing the close cooperation of various components in the motion process of the insertion duckbill and improving the seeding efficiency and accuracy.
[0051] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the intermediate slot 9 is a plate member with a V-shaped section, and the two blocking brushes 10 are distributed at both sides of the vertical axis of the cavity along the distribution direction of the groove accommodating the garlic seed 2. The two blocking brushes 10 are distributed at both sides of the vertical axis of the cavity and are inclinedly distributed relative to the vertical axis of the cavity, which can act on the garlic seed 2 from different angles, increasing the flexibility and effectiveness of the adjustment.
[0052] The spacer brush 10 is in sliding fit with the duckbill, so that it can keep a proper position when not working, avoiding hindering the normal transportation of garlic seeds 2, and can accurately play a role when the posture of garlic seeds 2 needs to be adjusted. In addition, the spacer brush 10 is matched with a driving element to drive it to extend and retract, and through the control of the driving element, the spacer brush 10 can choose to avoid or disturb the garlic seeds 2 according to the actual situation of the garlic seeds 2, realizing intelligent operation, and further improving the reliability and practicability of the device.
[0053] The intermediate clamping groove 9 adopts a V-shaped cross-section plate, which preliminarily adjusts the posture of the garlic seeds 2 by using its shape characteristics, so that it is more conducive to the operation of the subsequent spacer brush 10. Along the direction of the garlic seed 2 containing groove, two spacer brushes 10 are distributed on both sides of the vertical axis of the cavity and are inclinedly arranged, in sliding fit with the duckbill, and are controlled to extend and retract by the driving element. In the adjustment section, according to the feedback of the image acquisition element, the driving element drives the spacer brush 10 to accurately disturb the garlic seeds 2, realizing the posture adjustment of the garlic seeds 2 with the scale bud upward, effectively improving the adjustment effect and reliability of the spacer brush 10.
[0054] As shown in Figure 4 The seed taking groove 3 is arranged at the communication between the conveying groove 1 and the adjustment clamping groove 6, and by changing the blocking or open state thereof, the conveying rhythm of the garlic seeds 2 can be flexibly controlled, so that the garlic seeds 2 can enter the adjustment clamping groove 6 in an orderly manner. The adjustment clamping groove 6 is composed of two clamping pieces, one end of each clamping piece is openable and closable, and the other end is connected with a return spring 15. One of the clamping pieces is a conveying clamping plate 6-1, and the other clamping piece is a conveying connecting plate 6-2. The return spring 15 is connected with the conveying clamping plate 6-1 and the conveying connecting plate 6-2, and the elastic action of the return spring 15 is used to realize the feeding and blocking of the garlic seeds 2, so as to ensure the stable residence and accurate feeding of the garlic seeds 2 in the adjustment clamping groove 6, and improve the stability and controllability of the garlic seed 2 conveying.
[0055] The intermediate clamping groove 9 is matched with a power equipment, and the reliable receiving and timely dumping of the garlic seeds 2 are realized through the action of the power equipment, so as to ensure that the garlic seeds 2 enter the execution cavity 7-2 at the correct time. The power equipment can be selected according to the requirements, and action elements such as driving motors and rudders are used to drive the intermediate clamping groove 9 to realize opening and closing or overturning, so that the garlic seeds 2 can fall. The execution cavity 7-2 is designed as a tapered channel, and by using its shape characteristics, the garlic seeds 2 can be kept in the state of the scale bud upward after the posture adjustment, and wait for the feeding at the time of sowing. After the duckbill is inserted into the soil to open the hole, the garlic seeds 2 can smoothly slide into the soil hole, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the sowing of the garlic seeds 2.
[0056] The execution cavity 7-2 is designed as a tapered channel, and this shape can guide the garlic seeds 2 to smoothly fall into the soil hole in the state of the scale bud upward after the duckbill is inserted into the soil to open the hole, ensuring the accuracy of sowing and the initial growth posture of the garlic seeds 2 in the soil, laying a foundation for the good growth of garlic.
[0057] Through precise control of the garlic seed 2 treatment process and fine adjustment of the posture, the garlic seed 2 can complete the sowing with more accurate posture and higher efficiency. Compared with the traditional sowing method, the re-sowing and seedling supplementing caused by poor posture of the garlic seed 2 and disordered treatment process are reduced, the one-time success rate of sowing is improved, more high-quality sowing operations can be completed in the same time, and the sowing efficiency and accuracy are significantly improved.
[0058] Embodiment 2
[0059] In another typical embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 , a working method of a garlic sowing integrated right bud device is given, which utilizes the garlic sowing integrated right bud device as in embodiment 1.
[0060] A working method of a garlic sowing integrated right bud device, comprising:
[0061] The garlic seed 2 is put into the adjusting clamp groove 6 through the conveying groove 1, and the plug sowing duckbill revolves around the working axis;
[0062] When the plug sowing duckbill is turned to be close to the adjusting clamp groove 6, the in-place sensor is triggered, so that the plug sowing duckbill is moved to be below the adjusting clamp groove 6 to receive the garlic seed 2 put by the adjusting clamp groove 6, and the garlic seed 2 falls on the middle clamp groove 9;
[0063] The image acquisition element acquires the posture of the garlic seed 2 on the middle clamp groove 9, judges the scale bud direction of the garlic seed 2, and makes the corresponding side of the scale bud direction of the blocking brush 10 act, so that the scale bud of the garlic seed 2 contacts the blocking brush 10 after the garlic seed 2 slides off the middle clamp groove 9, thereby adjusting the posture of the garlic seed 2, and making the scale bud of the garlic seed 2 upward;
[0064] After the plug sowing duckbill is turned to the bottom, it is inserted into the soil to open a hole, and the plug sowing duckbill is opened to make the garlic seed 2 fall into the soil hole with the scale bud upward;
[0065] After the plug sowing duckbill is pulled out of the soil, it is reset and runs in a cycle.
[0066] After the middle clamp groove 9 receives the garlic seed 2, the V-shaped section of the middle clamp groove 9 can adjust the garlic seed 2 to the scale bud horizontal posture.
[0067] Specifically, the working method is described in detail in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 5 .
[0068] The conveying trough 1 sequentially conveys garlic seeds 2 to the end. At this time, the seed-taking trough 3 rotates and separates, and the garlic seeds 2 roll into the adjusting clamp 6. The adjusting clamp 6 is in a closed state, and the garlic seeds 2 remain in this state. The planting duckbill at the bottom of the conveying trough 1 is rotating. When it moves to the response height 16H1, the planting duckbill activates the photoelectric sensor 17. The photoelectric sensor 17 transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller controls the power equipment to open the adjusting clamp 6. At this time, the garlic seeds 2 fall at the receiving height 19H2. When the planting duckbill rotates at an angular velocity W1 and the rotation angle is Ω, it ensures that the response time of the planting duckbill is equal to the time when the garlic seeds 2 fall from the receiving height 19H2. The garlic seeds 2 fall into the middle clamp 9 in the upper adjusting cavity 7-1 of the planting duckbill. Then, the adjusting clamp 6 returns to the closed state under the action of the return spring 15. At this point, the acquisition camera 5 starts working, identifying the scales and buds of the garlic seed 2 that has fallen into the intermediate clamping groove 9. The intermediate clamping groove 9 has a "V" shaped structure, and the garlic seed 2 falls on it in a prone position. At this time, the planting duckbill continues to run according to the planting trajectory 8, and the acquisition camera 5 also rotates in coordination with an angular velocity W2. When the planting duckbill rotates to identify the angle 12θ and the acquisition camera 5 rotates to identify the angle 11δ, the garlic seed 2 completes the identification of the scale orientation within this time. The acquisition camera 5 quickly resets under the drive of the power equipment, and the controller controls the power equipment to open the intermediate clamping groove 9. During the process of the garlic seed 2 falling from the intermediate clamping groove 9 to the bottom of the cavity, this section of height is adjusted for a falling height of 14h. When the scales and buds face inward, the inner side of the planting duckbill moves and moves into the planting duckbill, colliding with the position of the scales and buds of the garlic seed 2, completing the adjustment of the upward orientation of the scales and buds of the garlic seed 2. Subsequently, it performs free fall motion in the cavity of the planting duckbill and falls into the execution cavity 7-2 of the planting duckbill. At this time, the sowing duckbill continues to run along the sowing trajectory 8 with an angular velocity of W1 and a running angle of θ. At the same time, the garlic seed 2 scales fall downwards to the bottom of the sowing duckbill. The sowing time of the garlic seed 2 scales is less than the running time of the sowing duckbill before sowing.
[0069] The acquisition camera 5 is installed on the frame plate 4, which is located at the bottom of the conveying trough 1. The photoelectric sensor 17 is installed on the near end of the frame plate 4 relative to the insertion duckbill. The acquisition camera 5 is installed on the far end of the frame plate 4 relative to the insertion duckbill. The insertion duckbill is divided into an upper adjustment cavity 7-1 and a lower execution cavity 7-2. The intermediate clamping groove 9 is installed on the top of the adjustment cavity 7-1 of the insertion duckbill. The baffle brush 10 is installed on the outer wall of the insertion duckbill and is located at the bottom of the intermediate clamping groove 9.
[0070] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The recognition area of the positioning sensor corresponds to the response segment, the recognition area of the image acquisition element corresponds to the receiving segment, and the intermediate clamping groove is configured to receive the garlic seeds output from the adjustment clamping groove at the connection position between the response segment and the receiving segment.
3. The integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The baffle brush operates in the adjustment section to disturb the garlic seeds.
4. The integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, A seed-taking trough is provided at the connection position between the conveying trough and the adjusting clamp trough. The seed-taking trough blocks or opens the connection position between the conveying trough and the adjusting clamp trough so that the garlic seeds stay on the seed-taking trough or fall into the adjusting clamp trough.
5. The integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device as described in claim 4, characterized in that, The adjusting groove includes two clamping plates, one end of which can open and close, and the other end is connected to a return spring to insert or block garlic seeds.
6. The integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The intermediate clamp is equipped with a power device to enable the intermediate clamp to receive or pour garlic seeds, and the cavity is a conical channel.
7. A method for operating an integrated garlic planting and bud-aligning device, utilizing the integrated garlic planting and bud-aligning device as described in any one of claims 1-6, characterized in that, include: Garlic seeds are fed into the adjusting clamp through the conveyor trough, and the sowing duckbill rotates around the working axis. When the planting duckbill rotates to be close to the adjustment clamp, the positioning sensor is triggered, causing the planting duckbill to move directly below the adjustment clamp to receive the garlic seed placed in the adjustment clamp, and the garlic seed falls into the middle clamp. The image acquisition element acquires the posture of the garlic seed on the middle clamping groove, determines the orientation of the garlic seed scales, and causes the baffle brush on the corresponding side to move, so that the garlic seed slides off the middle clamping groove and the scales come into contact with the baffle brush, thereby moving the garlic seed to adjust its posture so that the garlic seed scales face upward. Once the sowing duckbill has rotated to the bottom, it is inserted into the soil to open a hole. The opening of the sowing duckbill allows the garlic cloves to fall into the soil hole with the scales facing upwards. After the duckbill is removed from the soil, it is reset and the cycle continues.
8. The working method of the integrated garlic planting and bud-correcting device as described in claim 7, characterized in that, After the intermediate groove receives the garlic seed, its V-shaped cross-section can be used to adjust the garlic seed to a horizontal position with the scales and buds.
