[0016] See also Figures 1-14 The present invention provides a technical solution: a fully automatic planting machine, comprising a self-propelled vehicle body 1, a transport module 2, an automatic gripper mechanism 3, and a planting assembly 4. A base 5 is installed on the self-propelled vehicle body 1 in front of the transport module 2, and two brackets 6 are installed on the base 5. A loading plate 8 for supporting a seedling tray 7 is rotatably connected to the bracket 6; The bracket 6 is provided with a turning mechanism, which is used to drive the loading plate 8 to drive the seedling tray 7 to turn half a circle in an inverted state; A pressing mechanism is provided on the feeding plate 8, which is used to stably press the seedlings into the seedling tray 7 to prevent the seedlings from falling off when the seedling tray 7 is in an inverted state; The feeding plate 8 is provided with a driving mechanism, which is used to drive the pressing mechanism to press the seedling tray 7 before the feeding plate 8 is turned over, and to drive the pressing mechanism to disengage the seedling tray 7 after the feeding plate 8 is reset; During operation, when planting seedlings, the self-propelled vehicle body 1 moves and provides power, the transport module 2 transports the seedling tray 7 with seedlings to the clamping position, and the seedlings are automatically placed into the corresponding seedling cups through the automatic clamping mechanism 3, and then sent to the planting assembly 4 through the seedling cups for planting. The working principle of the fully automatic planting machines currently on the market basically works according to this process; When the seedlings are taken out, the seedlings are more likely to be rooted in the seedling tray 7 and the soil in the seedling tray 7 is relatively dry, so the seedlings are more likely to be separated from the seedling tray 7. Therefore, when the seedlings are taken out, the seedlings are easily broken by the clamping claws. When the seedlings on the seedling tray 7 transported by the transport module are planted, the driving bracket 6 slides on the base 5 to the front position of the transport module 2. At this time, the flip mechanism is started again to drive the loading plate 8 to rotate to an inclined state, and then the driving mechanism is started to drive the pressing mechanism to disengage from the seedling tray 7; after the pressing mechanism is disengaged from the seedling tray 7, the seedling tray 7 automatically slides along the loading plate 8 onto the transport module 2.

[0017] See Figure 7 As a further solution of the present invention, the pressing mechanism includes a frame 9 fixedly connected to the front position of the loading plate 8, a slide rod 10 is slidably connected to the frame 9, and a plurality of equally distributed pressing plates 11 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 10; pressing components are symmetrically provided on both sides of the loading plate 8, and the pressing components are used to cooperate with the plurality of pressing plates 11 to press the seedlings on the seedling tray 7; During operation, before the loading plate 8 is about to flip over, the driving mechanism first drives the slide bar 10 to slide backward relative to the frame 9, and the slide bar 10 drives all the pressure plates 11 connected thereto to move backward; when moving, the pressure plate 11 is inserted between two adjacent rows of seedlings and moves backward along the surface of the seedling tray 7; when the slide bar 10 moves to the position closest to the loading plate 8, the single pressure plate 11 completes the initial pressing of the roots of the two adjacent rows of seedlings.

[0018] See Figure 7-11 As a further solution of the present invention, the pressing assembly includes a frame body 12 fixedly connected to the loading plate 8, a slide rod 13 is slidably connected to the frame body 12, and a plurality of equally spaced pressing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 13; The pressing plate 11 is perpendicular to the pressing plate 2 14; the widths of the pressing plate 11 and the pressing plate 2 14 are equal, and the interval between the two adjacent pressing plates 11 and the interval between the two adjacent pressing plates 2 14 are equal; the lower surface of the pressing plate 2 14 and the upper surface of the seedling tray 7 and the upper surface of the pressing plate 2 14 and the lower surface of the pressing plate 11 are respectively in the same plane; a plurality of pressing blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate 11, the width of the pressing block 15 is equal to the interval between the two adjacent pressing plates 2 14 and the interval between the two adjacent pressing blocks 15 is equal to the width of the pressing plate 2 14; the thickness of the pressing block 15 is equal to the thickness of the pressing plate 2 14; During operation, when the slide bar 10 slides to the position closest to the loading plate 8, the driving mechanism drives the slide bars 2 13 on the left and right sides to move toward the position close to the loading plate 8. When the slide bar 2 13 moves, it drives all the pressure plates 2 14 connected to it to move. When the pressure plate 2 14 moves, the seedlings are inserted from the two adjacent rows and fit in with the surface of the seedling tray 7 and the pressure plate 1 11; when the slide bars 2 13 on the left and right sides are moved to the position closest to the loading plate 8, all the pressure plates 2 14 cooperate with the pressure blocks 15 on the pressure plate 1 11 to stably press the root soil of all the seedlings on the seedling tray 7 into the seedling tray 7, and then, after the subsequent seedling tray 7 is flipped half a circle, the seedlings can be prevented from falling from the seedling tray 7.

[0019] See Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 14 As a further solution of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a sleeve 16 fixed on the frame 19, a cylinder 17 is slidably connected in the sleeve 16, one end of the cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 10 and the other end is fixedly connected to the push plate 18, and the left and right positions of the push plate 18 are symmetrically connected to the driving components. The driving component is used to drive the slide bar 2 13 to move closer to the loading plate 8 relative to the frame 2 12 when the slide bar 10 moves to a position close to the loading plate 8; The driving assembly includes a pull rope 19 fixedly connected to the push plate 18 and the second slide bar 13 at both ends; the bottom end of the loading plate 8 is rotatably connected to a guide wheel 20, and the pull rope 19 is in contact with the guide wheel 20; two springs 21 are fixedly connected to the second slide bar 13, and the other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the loading plate 8; When the cylinder 17 is started, the cylinder 17 drives the slide bar 10 to slide backward. When the slide bar 10 slides to the limit position on the rear side, the slide bar 10 can no longer move. As the cylinder 17 continues to extend, the front end of the cylinder 17 begins to drive the push plate 18 to move forward. When the push plate 18 moves forward, it pulls the slide bar 2 13 through the pull rope 19 connected to it to overcome the elastic force of the spring 21 and move to a position close to the loading plate 8; when the slide bars 2 13 on both sides move to the position closest to the loading plate 8, the multiple pressing plates 11 and the multiple pressing plates 2 14 complete the pressing of all the seedlings on the seedling tray 7; When the pressing needs to be canceled, it is only necessary to drive the cylinder 17 to retract. When the cylinder 17 retracts, under the action of the spring 21, the slide bar 13 will be reset first. When the slide bar 13 is completely reset, the cylinder 17 just drives the push plate 18 to move to a position that fits with the sleeve 16. Under the limiting action of the push plate 18, when the cylinder 17 continues to retract, it will drive the slide bar 10 to reset.

[0020] See Figure 6 As a further solution of the present invention, the flip mechanism includes a motor 22 fixed to the bracket 6, and the output shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the two frames 12 at the same time; The two brackets 6 are slidably mounted on the base 5, and a vibration module is provided inside the base 5; When working, the frame can be driven to rotate by starting the motor 22; when a new seedling tray 7 is placed on the loading plate 8 in the horizontal state, the seedlings on the seedling tray 7 are pressed and stabilized by driving multiple pressing plates 11 and 2 14, and then the motor 22 is started to drive the loading plate 8 and the seedling tray 7 to flip half a circle, so that the seedling tray 7 is in an inverted state; the seedlings in the inverted state can effectively avoid direct sunlight exposure and can prevent their water loss; in addition, under the action of gravity, the soil at the roots of the seedlings will be slightly separated from the seedling tray 7, which is convenient for subsequent clamping of the seedlings; when the seedling tray 7 needs to be loaded, the seedling tray 7 can be driven to move by the electric drive base 5. When the seedling tray 7 moves, the vibration module in the base 5 is started to vibrate the seedling tray 7, which can promote the further separation of the soil at the roots of the seedlings from the seedling tray 7.
