Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bare seedling belt production for agricultural transplanting, and particularly relates to a bare seedling belt film-pressing mechanism and a film-pressing method for mechanized transplanting. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of agricultural cultivation, sweet potato, Chinese herbal medicine, rice, and oilseed rape can be planted by means of bare seedling transplanting. Bare seedling refers to seedling that is not wrapped with substrate or soil during transplanting, and the seedling has leaves. Taking sweet potato as an example, sweet potato seedling transplanting technology is a key link for improving the yield and quality of sweet potato. Traditional sweet potato seedling transplanting relies on manual work, which is low in efficiency and high in labor intensity. With the development of agricultural mechanization, automatic transplanting technology based on sweet potato seedling belt has emerged. For example, the technology disclosed in the prior applications CN118451865A and CN118370062A of the applicant, which forms a seedling belt by clamping sweet potato seedlings between an upper film and a lower film, and gradually peels off the upper film and the lower film to make the sweet potato seedlings separate from the upper film and the lower film and fall into a seedling groove, thereby realizing continuous transplanting of sweet potato seedlings. However, the technology for producing bare seedling belt is relatively high in requirement, mainly because the physical properties of bare seedlings make it difficult to produce bare seedling belt. In the prior art, patent CN118953794A discloses a hot-melt packaging device for rhizome Chinese herbal medicine seedlings, which includes two ceramic hot-melt pieces for hot-melting the films on both sides of the seedlings to form two hot-melt belts. However, this technical solution has the following defects: (1) the long strip-shaped hot-melt belt is prone to breakage during the process of tearing the upper film and the lower film; (2) the two parallel hot-melt belts formed by applying the above structure to the packaging of bare seedlings such as sweet potato seedlings with leaves cannot effectively fix the bare seedlings, and the bare seedlings are prone to misalignment; (3) the positioning mechanism on the conveying belt in CN118953794A is only suitable for seedlings such as Chinese herbal medicine seedlings that are regular in shape, and has poor positioning effect on seedlings such as sweet potato seedlings that have multiple leaves and are irregular in shape. Moreover, the ceramic hot-melt pieces may burn the conveying belt during the process of film pressing, and the firmness of the pressed belt cannot be guaranteed; (4) if the upper film and the lower film are not attached during the hot-melting process, the ceramic hot-melt pieces may first contact the upper film, which may cause deformation or breakage of the upper film, thereby affecting the packaging quality. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a film-pressing technology that is suitable for the characteristics of bare seedlings and can guarantee the packaging quality and the stability of subsequent use. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and provides a bare seedling belt film-pressing mechanism and a film-pressing method for mechanized transplanting, which can adapt to the characteristics of bare seedlings for film-pressing operation, guarantee the packaging quality, and ensure the stability of subsequent use.

[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the naked seedling tape hot film mechanism for mechanized transplanting of the application comprises a hot knife mechanism and a naked seedling jig, the hot knife mechanism comprises a seat body and a hot film unit fixed on the seat body; the naked seedling jig has a backing plate matched with the hot film unit;

The two rows of trumpet-shaped hot spots formed by all the hot film units not only can fully constrain the naked seedlings, but also can facilitate separation of the upper and lower films to release the naked seedlings in subsequent use.
