Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the forestry field, and more particularly to an auxiliary planting device for landscaping seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] With the expansion of urban greening, tree transplantation has become an important part of landscaping. To facilitate unified management of sowing, fertilization, and pest and disease control, saplings are generally planted in bulk, and transplanted only when needed for landscaping or other purposes.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117716967B discloses a tree transplanting device for landscaping. The device automatically digs a pit using a digging mechanism, stabilizes the seedlings in the pit using a seedling stabilizing mechanism, and then backfills the pit with soil using a filling mechanism and performs watering.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe they have the following drawbacks: Backfilling soil for seedlings requires layered backfilling and compaction. The aforementioned equipment, by controlling the auger to move the soil during backfilling, does not compact the soil, failing to ensure sufficient contact between the soil and roots. The loose soil, containing internal pores, leads to uneven water distribution, excessive soil settling, and seedling lodging during subsequent watering, ultimately reducing seedling survival rates.

[0005] Therefore, the applicant believes that there is room for improvement in the existing seedling transplanting equipment, and thus proposes an auxiliary planting device for landscaping seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides an auxiliary planting device for landscaping seedlings.

[0007] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution: a landscaping seedling auxiliary planting device, comprising a mounting frame, a fixed housing fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and the fixed housing internally connected to:

[0008] A lifting cylinder is movably connected to the fixed housing, and the lifting cylinder passes through the fixed housing;

[0009] A seedling stabilizing tube is fixedly installed inside the lifting cylinder, with its lower end extending out of the lifting cylinder;

[0010] A pressing structure is provided between the seedling stabilizing tube and the lifting cylinder. The pressing structure includes a pressure plate and a driving component that drives the pressure plate to move up and down.

[0011] A backfill structure is installed between the fixed housing and the lifting cylinder. The backfill structure includes a backfill plate, which is movably disposed at the lower bottom of the fixed housing.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, two vertically distributed limiting connecting plates are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the seedling stabilizing tube, and the limiting connecting plates are also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the driving component includes a movable rotating cylinder, which is rotatably mounted on the outside of the seedling stabilizing tube and located between the two limiting connecting plates. A circumferential groove is provided on the movable rotating cylinder.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the driving component also includes: a belt and a connector. The movable rotating drum has a belt groove. In addition, a motor is fixedly installed inside the lifting drum. The belt is sleeved on the rotating drum and the motor. A slider is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connector. The slider is slidably installed in the surrounding groove of the movable rotating drum. At the same time, the bottom of the connector is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. The two pressure plates are arc-shaped and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the seedling stabilizing tube.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, a limiting ring is also provided on the outer side of the connector, and a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder, with the limiting ring sleeved on the limiting rod.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the backfill structure includes:

[0017] A toothed plate, which is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting cylinder;

[0018] The connecting rod includes an upper connecting rod and a lower connecting rod, one end of which is rotatably connected inside the fixed housing. A connecting gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the upper connecting rod, and the connecting gear meshes with the gear plate.

[0019] The swing arm has the other end of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod rotatably connected to the swing arm, and the lower end of the swing arm extends out of the fixed housing and is fixedly connected to the backfill plate.

[0020] As a further improvement to the above solution, the backfill plate is arc-shaped with a cutting edge at the lower end, and several breaking nails are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the backfill plate.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above solution, an electric push rod is also fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the upper end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the lifting cylinder.

[0022] As a further improvement to the above solution, a limit strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting cylinder, and a corresponding limit guide rail is provided at the corresponding position of the fixed housing.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above solution, an auger is also installed on the mounting frame, and a connecting frame is provided on one side of the mounting frame. A hydraulic device is installed on the connecting frame and is connected to the mounting frame.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention prevents seedlings from lodging when they are placed into the planting pit using a seedling stabilizing tube. By controlling the upward movement of the seedling stabilizing tube, the backfill plate is automatically moved, pushing the soil outside the pit into the pit. At the same time, by controlling the reciprocating up and down movement of the pressing plate in the compaction structure, the soil around the seedling is compacted, achieving layered backfilling and compaction. This improves transplanting efficiency and seedling survival rate. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] For ease of movement, this device can be mounted on a mobile trolley during use. The mobile trolley is an existing device and is not shown in this embodiment.

[0044] Please combine Figures 1-3 This embodiment of a landscaping seedling auxiliary planting device includes a connecting frame 11 and a mounting frame 1. The connecting frame 11 is used to connect with a mobile trolley, and a hydraulic device (not shown in the figure) is also installed on the connecting frame 11. The lower end of the hydraulic device is connected to the mounting frame 1. The hydraulic device controls the up and down movement of the mounting frame 1.

[0045] A auger drill 10 for digging holes is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. A fixed housing 2 is also fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, and a lifting cylinder 3 is installed inside the fixed housing 2. The lifting cylinder 3 penetrates through the fixed housing 2. In use, the auger drill 10 is turned on, and the entire mounting frame 1 is moved downwards via a hydraulic device, at which point the auger drill 10 begins digging a hole. When continuous operation is carried out, when the auger drill 10 begins digging a second hole, the fixed housing 2 and the lifting cylinder 3 are located above the first hole. As the auger drill 10 moves downwards to continue digging the second hole, the lower end of the lifting cylinder 3 enters the first hole.

[0046] A seedling stabilizing tube 4 is installed inside the lifting cylinder 3. To install the seedling stabilizing tube 4, two limiting connecting plates 41 distributed vertically are fixedly connected to the seedling stabilizing tube 4. Figure 7 (As indicated in the diagram), the limiting connecting plate 41 is simultaneously fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 3. Therefore, the seedling stabilizing tube 4 is fixed inside the lifting cylinder 3.

[0047] To improve seedling survival rate, the roots of seedlings are usually wrapped into a ball shape during transplanting, carrying some soil with them. When the seedling stabilizing tube 4 is located in the pit, if the seedling is dropped from above the seedling stabilizing tube 4, it will fall automatically under the influence of gravity and accurately land at the bottom of the pit. This ensures that the seedling will not tilt while the seedling stabilizing tube 4 is not removed.

[0048] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 After the transplanted seedlings are placed into the pit, the soil needs to be backfilled. Therefore, this embodiment includes a backfilling structure 8 to backfill the soil into the pit.

[0049] Specifically, the backfill structure 8 includes a toothed plate 81, a connecting rod 82, a swing arm 83, and a backfill plate 84. The toothed plate 81 is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 3. The connecting rod 82 includes an upper connecting rod 821 and a lower connecting rod 823. Both the upper connecting rod 821 and the lower connecting rod 823 are rotatably mounted inside the fixed housing 2, and a connecting gear 822 is fixedly connected to the end of the upper connecting rod 821, meshing with the toothed plate 81.

[0050] In addition, the other ends of the upper connecting rod 821 and the lower connecting rod 823 are rotatably connected to the swing arm 83. The lower end of the swing arm 83 extends out of the fixed housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the backfill plate 84. The backfill plate 84 is arc-shaped, with a cutting edge at the bottom, and several breaking nails 85 are connected to the inner side wall.

[0051] As explained above, during the digging process, the installation frame 1 is moved downward by the hydraulic device, which in turn drives the auger drill 10 to move downward. For example, when the auger drill 10 is digging the second hole, the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 and the lower end of the lifting cylinder 3 need to enter the hole.

[0052] It is important to note that as the backfill plate 84 moves downwards and inserts into the soil, the auger 10 rotates continuously clockwise or counterclockwise, causing the soil to be evenly and continuously thrown in all directions, eventually forming a ring-shaped mound around the pit. Therefore, although the lower surface of the backfill plate 84 is higher than the lower surface of the lifting cylinder 3, it will be inserted into the soil excavated by the auger 10.

[0053] The lower end of the backfill plate 84 is designed with a cutting edge, which, together with the breaking nail 85, can further break up the soil and prevent soil clumps from entering the pit.

[0054] Looking back Figure 2 and Figure 3 During backfilling, on the one hand, the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 and the lifting cylinder 3 need to be moved upward to get away from the foundation pit, and on the other hand, the soil needs to be pushed back into the pit through the backfill plate 84.

[0055] To facilitate the control of the vertical movement of the lifting cylinder 3, an electric push rod 9 is also installed on the mounting frame 1. One end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the lifting cylinder 3. When the electric push rod 9 is extended, the lifting cylinder 3 moves upward. To ensure stable movement of the lifting cylinder 3, two limiting strips 31 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 3, and a limiting guide rail 21 is provided at the corresponding position on the fixed housing 2. The limiting strips 31 are movably engaged in the limiting guide rail 21 to ensure stable vertical movement of the lifting cylinder 3.

[0056] In summary, the electric push rod 9 pushes the lifting cylinder 3 and the toothed plate 81 upwards simultaneously. The toothed plate 81 meshes with the connecting gear 822, thus driving the connecting rod 82 to rotate. The connecting rods 82 on both sides drive the two backfill plates 84 to move via the swing arm 83. When the backfill plates 84 swing, they continue to penetrate deeper into the soil, and the two backfill plates 84 move towards the center, pushing the soil into the central pit. This pushes the excavated soil back into the pit.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1, further comprising the following:

[0059] To avoid excessively large gaps in the backfill soil, which could lead to uneven water distribution and severe soil settlement during subsequent watering, soil compaction is necessary. Therefore, a compaction structure 5 is installed between the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 and the lifting cylinder 3. Figure 4 (in Chinese annotation).

[0060] Specifically, the pressing structure 5 includes a pressure plate 7 and a driving component 6. The pressure plate 7 has an arc-shaped structure, and two arc-shaped pressure plates 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the seedling stabilizing tube 4.

[0061] The driving component 6 includes a movable rotating drum 61. As described above, two limiting connecting plates 41 are fixedly connected to the seedling stabilizing tube 4. The movable rotating drum 61 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the seedling stabilizing tube 4 via bearings, located between the two limiting connecting plates 41. A wavy, circumferential groove 62 is formed on the outer wall of the movable rotating drum 61. To control the rotation of the movable rotating drum 61, a motor is fixedly installed inside the lifting cylinder 3. Additionally, a belt groove (not shown in the figure) is formed on the movable rotating drum 61, and a belt 63 connects the motor and the movable rotating drum 61. Figure 2 (Note: The text appears to be a mix of Chinese characters and symbols, possibly indicating a corrupted or incomplete translation. A direct translation is not possible without further context.)

[0062] The drive component 6 also includes a connector 64, on the inner side of which a slider 65 is fixedly connected. The slider 65 is slidably installed in the surrounding groove 62 of the movable rotating cylinder 61. In addition, a limiting ring 66 is provided on the outer side of the connector 64, and a limiting rod 67 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 3. The limiting ring 66 is sleeved on the limiting rod 67.

[0063] Therefore, when the movable drum 61 is rotated, the cooperation between the slider 65 and the surrounding groove 62 will drive the connecting piece 64 to move up and down reciprocally. The lower end of the connecting piece 64 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 7. Thus, the two pressure plates 7 can be driven to move up and down reciprocally.

[0064] The implementation principle of the auxiliary planting device for landscaping seedlings described in this application is as follows:

[0065] (i) Through the connecting frame 11, the hydraulic device drives the mounting frame 1 to move downward as a whole. At this time, the auger drill 10 starts and moves downward simultaneously to dig a hole. When working continuously, as the trolley moves, when the auger drill 10 reaches the predetermined position of the second hole, the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 reaches above the first hole.

[0066] When the auger 10 moves downward to dig the second hole, the fixed shell 2, the lifting cylinder 3, and the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 move downward together. At this time, the lower ends of the seedling stabilizing pipe 4 and the lifting cylinder 3 enter the first hole, while the backfill plate 84 is inserted into the soil.

[0067] (ii) Seedlings are manually placed into the seedling stabilizing tube 4. The seedling stabilizing tube 4 ensures that the seedlings fall into the pit and remain inside the tube, thus preventing them from tilting. Then, backfilling begins. At this time, the electric push rod 9 is extended to push the lifting cylinder 3 upward (the fixed housing 2 remains stationary).

[0068] On the one hand, as the seedling stabilizing tube 4 moves upward with the lifting cylinder 3, the roots of the seedlings will gradually be exposed; on the other hand, as the lifting cylinder 3 moves upward, the swinging toothed plate 81 will move upward. The toothed plate 81 drives the connecting rod 82 to rotate through the connecting gear 822. The connecting rod 82 drives the backfill plate 84 to move through the swing arm 83. When the backfill plates 84 on both sides move closer to the middle, they push the soil into the pit.

[0069] (iii) The movable drum 61 is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the motor and belt 63. When the movable drum 61 rotates, the connecting piece 64 and the pressure plate 7 are driven to move up and down by the cooperation of the surrounding groove 62 and the slider 65.

[0070] When backfilling soil, layered backfilling and compaction are the most effective methods to improve the survival rate. Therefore, after controlling the lifting cylinder 3 to move upward a certain distance (e.g., 10cm), it can be stopped. At this time, control the pressing plate 7 to move up and down repeatedly to compact the soil in the pit. Then, control the lifting cylinder 3 to continue moving upward a certain distance, and the backfilling plate 84 to continue moving to push more soil into the pit. Then, continue to control the pressing plate 7 to move and compact the soil.

[0071] (iv) Repeat step three above until the seedling stabilizing tube 4 is completely removed from the planting pit. At this point, the top of the seedling is still inside the seedling stabilizing tube 4. Then, control the mounting frame 1 to move upward as a whole, which will move the seedling stabilizing tube 4, the lifting cylinder 3, and the fixed housing 2 upward as a whole. Then, control the trolley to move to the next transplanting position.

[0072] As described above, the connecting frame 11 is used to connect with the mobile trolley. In actual use, the seedlings can be placed on the mobile trolley, and during transplanting, the seedlings can be manually placed into the seedling stabilizing tube 4. This device mainly replaces the manual work of digging holes, backfilling soil, compacting soil, and supporting seedlings to prevent them from tilting during transplanting, thus improving transplanting efficiency.

[0073] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
