Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seed cultivation technology, and in particular to a licorice seed cultivation device suitable for sandy environments in southern China. Background Technology

[0002] Licorice is an important traditional Chinese medicine with effects such as tonifying the spleen and replenishing qi, clearing heat and detoxifying. It has a large market demand, but licorice is mainly distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of northern China, and its cultivation in the humid sandy environments of southern China faces many challenges. Although southern sandy areas have good drainage and a certain amount of subsurface moisture, the topsoil is easily affected by high temperatures and evaporation, resulting in low seed germination rates and difficulty in seedling survival. Studies have shown that the germination rate of licorice seeds under natural conditions in southern sandy areas is extremely low, and even after germination, they are easily killed by water imbalance, strong sunlight, or pests and diseases. In contrast, while root and spike propagation has a higher survival rate, it is expensive and difficult to promote on a large scale. Therefore, how to improve the cultivation efficiency of licorice seeds in the southern sandy environment has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Existing planting techniques are mostly designed for the arid environment of northern regions and are difficult to adapt to the special conditions of sandy soils in the south. For example, while traditional mulching can retain moisture, it can easily lead to seedling burn from high temperatures; direct sowing, on the other hand, results in seeds struggling to obtain a stable water supply due to the poor water retention capacity of sandy soils. Furthermore, the hot and humid summer environment in the south easily promotes mold growth, increasing the risk of root rot. In recent years, although some studies have attempted to use mesh or ceramic materials to assist planting, problems such as nutrient loss and insufficient water regulation still exist. For example, while the structure of diamond mesh can prevent insects, its water retention capacity is poor; and while ceramic planting tubes can absorb and conduct water, improper planting depth can still affect light absorption, hindering seedling growth. Therefore, this invention provides a licorice seed planting device suitable for sandy soil environments in the south. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] Example: Reference Figures 1-11 A licorice seed planting device suitable for sandy environments in southern China includes a frame 101, on which a base plate 102 is fixedly installed. The frame 101 enables the overall movement of the device. Multiple fixed sleeves 103 are linearly arrayed on the base plate 102. The fixed sleeves 103 are used to store ceramic planting cylinders 104. After the ceramic planting cylinders 104 are placed into the fixed sleeves 103 in sequence, nutrient soil is added to each ceramic planting cylinder 104 in sequence, and then the seeds are shallowly planted in the nutrient soil in the ceramic planting cylinders 104.

[0029] The base plate 102 is also equipped with a calling component, which includes a calling ring frame 117. Three inner support rods 131 are movably mounted on the calling ring frame 117. The inner support rods 131 are used to call the ceramic planting cylinder 104 on the fixed sleeve 103. A longitudinal slide 105 is slidably mounted on the base plate 102, and a longitudinal lead screw 106 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 102. The longitudinal slide 105 and the longitudinal lead screw 106 form a helical pair. A longitudinal motor 107 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 102. The output shaft of the longitudinal motor 107 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal lead screw 106. A transverse slide 111 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide 105. A transverse lead screw 112 is installed, and the transverse slide 111 and the transverse lead screw 112 form a helical pair. A transverse motor 113 is fixedly installed on the longitudinal slide 105, and the output shaft of the transverse motor 113 is fixedly connected to the transverse lead screw 112. A call ring frame 117 is slidably installed on the transverse slide 111. A vertical lead screw 132 is rotatably installed on the transverse slide 111, and the vertical lead screw 132 and the call ring frame 117 form a helical pair. A vertical motor 133 is fixedly installed on the transverse slide 111, and the output shaft of the vertical motor 133 is fixedly connected to the vertical lead screw 132. The axes of the longitudinal lead screw 106, the transverse lead screw 112, and the vertical lead screw 132 are perpendicular to each other.

[0030] Start the longitudinal motor 107 to drive the longitudinal lead screw 106 to rotate, so that the longitudinal slide 105 moves along the axis of the longitudinal lead screw 106, and the components on the longitudinal slide 105 move synchronously. Start the transverse motor 113 to drive the transverse lead screw 112 to rotate, so that the transverse slide 111 moves along the axis of the transverse lead screw 112, and the components on the transverse lead screw 112 move synchronously. That is, under the action of the longitudinal motor 107 and the transverse motor 113, the calling ring frame 117 can be moved to the top of different fixed sleeves 103. Start the vertical motor 133 to drive the vertical lead screw 132 to rotate, so that the calling ring frame 117 moves along the axis of the vertical lead screw 132, and the components on the calling ring frame 117 move synchronously. At this time, the calling ring frame 117 moves up and down relative to the base plate 102.

[0031] Three inner support racks 134 are slidably mounted on the circumferential array of the call ring frame 117. Three inner support rods 131 are fixedly mounted on the corresponding inner support racks 134. The inner support rods 131 are located at the end of the inner support racks 134 closest to the axis of the call ring frame 117. A transmission unit is provided between the three inner support racks 134. The inner support rods 131 transfer the ceramic planting cylinder 104 from the inside of the ceramic planting cylinder 104.

[0032] The transmission unit corresponding to the call ring frame 117 includes a transmission gear ring 139, three driven gears 140, and three transmission gears 141. The transmission gear ring 139, driven gears 140, and transmission gears 141 in the transmission unit corresponding to the call ring frame 117 are all rotatably mounted on the call ring frame 117. The transmission gears 141 and their corresponding driven gears 140 are fixedly connected. The transmission gears 141 mesh with their corresponding transmission gear rings 139 to form a gear pair. The inner support rack 134 meshes with its corresponding driven gears 140 to form a gear pair and rack pair. A drive motor 138 is fixedly mounted on the call ring frame 117. The output shaft of the drive motor 138 is fixedly connected to its corresponding driven gear 140.

[0033] The drive motor 138 on the auxiliary rack 137 is started to drive the corresponding driven gear 140 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission gear ring 139, the three driven gears 140 move synchronously, which in turn causes the three transmission gears 141 to move synchronously. This causes the three inner support racks 134 to move synchronously toward the axis of the calling ring frame 117 or synchronously away from the axis of the calling ring frame 117. The inner support rods 131 on the inner support racks 134 move synchronously, causing the three inner support rods 131 to move synchronously toward the axis of the calling ring frame 117 or synchronously away from the axis of the calling ring frame 117.

[0034] When a ceramic planting cylinder 104 on a fixed sleeve 103 needs to be called, the longitudinal motor 107 and the transverse motor 113 are started to move the calling ring 117 to directly above the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Then, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the calling ring 117 is started. Under the action of the transmission unit, the three inner support rods 131 are first moved to the position closest to the axis of the calling ring 117. Then, the vertical motor 133 is started to move the calling ring 117 downward, thereby causing the inner support rods 131 to move downward synchronously. Finally, the lower end of the inner support rods 131 is positioned above the ceramic planting cylinder 104. On the inner side of 04, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the calling ring 117 is then started, causing the three inner support rods 131 to move away from the axis of the calling ring 117. Finally, the three inner support rods 131 all contact the inner side of the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Under the action of the three inner support rods 131, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 and the inner support rods 131 form a whole. At this time, the vertical motor 133 is started, causing the calling ring 117 to move upward. Under the action of the inner support rods 131, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 moves upward synchronously, thus realizing the calling of the ceramic planting cylinder 104.

[0035] By repeating the above steps, the different ceramic planting tubes 104 can be activated under the action of the longitudinal motor 107, the transverse motor 113, and the vertical motor 133.

[0036] A netting assembly is also provided on the base plate 102. The netting assembly includes an auxiliary ring frame 108, an auxiliary slide 118, and a fan-shaped rack 125.

The auxiliary ring frame 108 is located at the square notch of the base plate 102. Three arc-shaped short plates 130 are movably installed on the auxiliary ring frame 108. The arc-shaped short plates 130 are used to clamp and fix the ceramic planting tube 104 to be called. Three auxiliary racks 137 are slidably installed in a circular array on the auxiliary ring frame 108. The three arc-shaped short plates 130 are respectively fixedly installed on the corresponding auxiliary racks 137 at the ends closest to the axis of the auxiliary ring frame 108. A transmission unit is also provided between the three auxiliary racks 137.

[0037] The transmission unit corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108 also includes a transmission gear ring 139, three driven gears 140, and three transmission gears 141. The transmission gear ring 139, driven gears 140, and transmission gears 141 in the transmission unit corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108 are all rotatably mounted on the auxiliary ring frame 108. The transmission gears 141 and their corresponding driven gears 140 are fixedly connected. The transmission gears 141 mesh with their corresponding transmission gear rings 139 to form a gear pair. The inner support rack 134 meshes with its corresponding driven gears 140 to form a gear pair and rack pair. A drive motor 138 is also fixedly mounted on the auxiliary ring frame 108. The output shaft of the drive motor 138 is fixedly connected to its corresponding driven gear 140.

[0038] When the drive motor 138 corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108 is started to rotate, under the action of the transmission unit corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108, the three auxiliary racks 137 can move synchronously toward the axis of the longitudinal motor 107 or synchronously away from the axis of the longitudinal motor 107. The arc-shaped short plates 130 on the auxiliary racks 137 move synchronously, that is, the three arc-shaped short plates 130 move synchronously toward the axis of the longitudinal motor 107 or synchronously away from the axis of the longitudinal motor 107.

[0039] After the inner support rod 131 moves a ceramic planting tube 104 to directly above the auxiliary ring frame 108, the vertical motor 133 is activated to move the ring frame 117 downwards, so that the ceramic planting tube 104 moves downwards and the lower end face of the ceramic planting tube 104 and the lower end face of the arc-shaped short plate 130 are on the same plane. Then, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108 is activated, so that the three arc-shaped short plates 130 move towards the axis of the auxiliary ring frame 108, and finally the arc-shaped short plates 130 contact the outer circumferential surface of the ceramic planting tube 104. Under the action of the three arc-shaped short plates 130, the ceramic planting tube 104 is fixed. At this time, the inner support rod 131 can be removed from the ceramic planting tube 104 and the next ceramic planting tube 104 can be retrieved.

The dispensing port 148 is located at an eccentric position on the dispensing disc 145, that is, the axis of the dispensing port 148 and the dispensing disc 145 are not on the same straight line.

[0042] The shifting motor 146 is started to drive the shifting gear 147 to rotate. Under the action of the shifting gear ring 149, the dispensing disc 145 can rotate relative to the sector rack 125, and the glue storage cylinder 109 and the glue outlet 148 on the dispensing disc 145 rotate synchronously.

The output shaft of the auxiliary motor 120 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary lead screw 119. When the auxiliary motor 120 is started, it drives the auxiliary lead screw 119 to rotate, which allows the auxiliary slide 118 to move along the axis of the auxiliary lead screw 119. The axis of the auxiliary lead screw 119 is parallel to the axis of the transverse lead screw 112. A black soft mesh 110, a pressing circular plate 143, and an annular heating wire 144 are movably arranged on the auxiliary slide 118. The pressing circular plate 143 and the annular heating wire 144 are used to divide the black soft mesh 110 into circles and press and adhere it to the upper end face of the ceramic planting tube 104.

The glue storage tube 109 and the glue dripping disc 145 on the fan-shaped rack 125 rotate synchronously, ensuring that the glue storage tube 109 and the glue dripping disc 145 are positioned directly opposite the ceramic planting tube 104. Above, the glue outlet 148 is located at the circumference of the upper end face of the ceramic planting tube 104. The pump between the glue storage tube 109 and the glue outlet 148 causes the glue in the glue storage tube 109 to fall along the glue outlet 148 onto the upper end face of the ceramic planting tube 104. The shifting motor 146 is started to drive the glue dripping disc 145 to rotate. The glue storage tube 109 and the glue outlet 148 rotate synchronously, thus achieving that glue is dripped onto the upper circumferential surface of the ceramic planting tube 104.

[0047] After applying glue to the upper annular surface of the ceramic planting cylinder 104, the clearance motor 126 is activated to drive the fan-shaped rack 125 to rotate, thus moving the glue storage cylinder 109 to the outside of the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Then, the auxiliary motor 120 is activated to drive the auxiliary slide 118 to move, and the components on the auxiliary slide 118 move synchronously, ultimately moving the black soft mesh 110 above the ceramic planting cylinder 104. At this point, the axis of the pressing disc 143 and the axis of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 are aligned. The unwinding motor 121 and the winding motor 124 are activated, driving the unwinding reel 122 and the winding reel 123 to rotate, so that the unused portion of the black soft mesh 110 is positioned above the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Directly above 04, the downward pressing cylinder 142 is activated to drive the downward pressing circular plate 143 to move downward. The annular heating wire 144 moves downward simultaneously. The black soft mesh 110 portion above the ceramic planting cylinder 104 contacts the upper end face of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 under the action of the downward pressing circular plate 143. Adhesion is achieved under the action of the glue on the upper end face of the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Under the pressing action of the downward pressing circular plate 143, the adhesion effect between the ceramic planting cylinder 104 and the black soft mesh 110 is improved. The annular heating wire 144 achieves annular cutting of the black soft mesh 110, so that a circular black soft mesh 110 is covered on the upper end face of the ceramic planting cylinder 104.

[0048] A lowering assembly is also provided on the base plate 102. The lowering assembly includes a lowering ring frame 116, which is located directly above the auxiliary ring frame 108. The lowering ring frame 116 is slidably mounted on the base plate 102. A lowering screw 115 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 102. The lowering screw 115 and the lowering ring frame 116 form a helical pair. A lowering generator 114 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 102. The output shaft of the lowering generator 114 is fixedly connected to the lowering screw 115. When the lowering generator 114 is started, it drives the lowering screw 115 to rotate, which causes the lowering ring frame 116 to move up and down relative to the base plate 102. Three arc-shaped long plates 129 are movably arranged on the lowering ring frame 116. The arc-shaped long plates 129 are used to realize the lowering and soil covering of the ceramic planting tube 104.

[0049] The inner diameters of the auxiliary ring frame 108, the lowering ring frame 116, and the calling ring frame 117 are all the same. Three external clamping racks 136 are slidably mounted in a circular array on the lowering ring frame 116. An L-shaped sliding plate 135 is fixedly mounted on each of the external clamping racks 136. An arc-shaped long plate 129 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the L-shaped sliding plate 135. A transmission unit is also provided between the three external clamping racks 136. The transmission unit corresponding to the lowering ring frame 116 also includes a transmission gear ring 139, three driven gears 140, and three transmission gears 141. The lowering ring frame 116... The transmission ring 139, driven gear 140, and transmission gear 141 in the corresponding transmission unit are all rotatably mounted on the lowering ring frame 116. The transmission gear 141 and the corresponding driven gear 140 are fixedly connected. The transmission gear 141 meshes with the corresponding transmission ring 139 to form a gear pair. The inner support rack 134 meshes with the corresponding driven gear 140 to form a gear pair and rack pair. The lowering ring frame 116 is fixedly mounted with a drive motor 138. The output shaft of the drive motor 138 is fixedly connected to the corresponding driven gear 140.

[0050] When the drive motor 138 corresponding to the lowering ring frame 116 is started, the three external clamping racks 136 can move synchronously toward the axis of the lowering ring frame 116 or synchronously away from the axis of the lowering ring frame 116 under the action of the corresponding transmission unit. Under the action of the L-shaped sliding plate 135, the three arc-shaped long plates 129 can move synchronously toward the axis of the lowering ring frame 116 or synchronously away from the axis of the lowering ring frame 116.

[0051] In the initial position, the three arc-shaped long plates 129 are all located at the position furthest from the axis of the lowering ring frame 116. At this time, when the covering component covers the ceramic planting tube 104 with black soft gauze 110, it will not come into contact with the lowering component, that is, the covering component will not interfere with the lowering component.

[0052] After the covering assembly completes the covering of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 with the black soft mesh 110, the fan-shaped rack 125 and the auxiliary slide 118 return to their initial positions. Then, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the lowering ring frame 116 is activated, causing the three arc-shaped long plates 129 to move towards the axis of the lowering ring frame 116. Finally, the three arc-shaped long plates 129 contact the outer circumference of the ceramic planting cylinder 104, thus clamping and fixing the ceramic planting cylinder 104 under the action of the three arc-shaped long plates 129. Then, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the auxiliary ring frame 108 is activated, causing the arc-shaped short plate 130 to contact and fix the ceramic planting cylinder 104, and move the arc-shaped short plate 130 to the position furthest from the axis of the auxiliary ring frame 108. The sand has pre-drilled mounting holes. By moving the frame 101, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 is moved to the top of the designated mounting hole. Then, the lowering motor 114 is activated, causing the lowering ring frame 116 to move downwards, and the arc-shaped long plates... Under the action of 129, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 moves downward synchronously. The ceramic planting cylinder 104 moves downward through the center of the auxiliary ring frame 108 and enters the designated installation hole. Then, the drive motor 138 corresponding to the lowering ring frame 116 is started to release the arc-shaped long plate 129 from fixing the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Then, the lowering motor 114 is started to move the arc-shaped long plate 129 downward. The arc-shaped long plate 129 covers the ceramic planting cylinder 104 with sand around the installation hole. Under the action of the arc-shaped long plate 129, the sand covering the outside of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 is pressed, thus completing the planting of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 in the sand. Since the arc-shaped long plate 129 can only cover the ceramic planting cylinder 104 with soil in a limited area, there is a gap on the outside of the ceramic planting cylinder 104, which allows air to flow around the ceramic planting cylinder 104. This avoids the sand from being completely compacted and hindering oxygen penetration, reducing the risk of seed or seedling root suffocation.

[0053] Working principle: The installation holes of the ceramic planting tube 104 are pre-dug in the sandy soil using a drilling machine. Then, the ceramic planting tubes 104 to be used are placed into each ceramic planting tube 104 in sequence. Then, the nutrient soil and seeds are put into the ceramic planting tube 104. The seeds are shallowly planted in the nutrient soil in the ceramic planting tube 104.

[0054] The device is moved to the sandy area to be planted using the frame 101. The ceramic planting cylinder 104 in a fixed sleeve 103 on the base plate 102 is called by the calling component. The ceramic planting cylinder 104 is called from the inside by the inner support rod 131. The ceramic planting cylinder 104 can be placed on the base plate 102 by supporting the ceramic planting cylinder 104 from the inside. The ceramic planting cylinder 104 is moved to the position of the auxiliary ring frame 108 by the calling component. Then, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 is fixed by the arc-shaped short plate 130. The calling component is then called to the next ceramic planting cylinder 104. Then, the netting component is activated. First, glue is dripped onto the upper surface of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 through the glue outlet 148. Then, the black soft mesh 110 is cut into a circle and pressed and adhered to the ceramic planting cylinder 104 by the pressing round plate 143 and the annular electric heating wire 144.

[0055] After covering the ceramic planting cylinder 104 with black soft mesh 110, the lowering component is activated, which fixes the ceramic planting cylinder 104 with the arc-shaped long plate 129. Then, the arc-shaped short plate 130 is moved to the position furthest from the axis of the auxiliary ring frame 108. Under the action of the arc-shaped long plate 129, the ceramic planting cylinder 104 is placed into the installation hole to be planted. Then, under the action of the arc-shaped long plate 129, the outside of the ceramic planting cylinder 104 is covered with soil and pressed, thus completing the installation of the ceramic planting cylinder 104. Repeating the above steps can achieve continuous installation of the ceramic planting cylinder 104.

[0056] After the licorice seedlings grow, the black soft mesh 110 attached to the ceramic planting tube 104 can be directly torn off. However, once the mesh is removed, the licorice is easily withered by the sun. Therefore, a larger mesh frame can be placed on the ceramic planting tube 104 after the black soft mesh 110 has been removed, thereby increasing the height of the mesh and preventing the black soft mesh 110 covering the end face of the ceramic planting tube 104 from affecting the growth of the licorice.

[0057] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept without creative effort are within the protection scope of this invention.
