[0002] With the accelerated development of urbanization and the continuous promotion of ecological civilization construction, landscape engineering plays an increasingly important role in urban renewal and ecological restoration. Under this background, plant transplanting technology has become a key means to realize rapid landscape construction and ecological environment optimization. Among them, the transplantation of large-specification seedlings is of great concern due to its unique landscape value, ecological benefits, and high requirements for construction technology. The successful transplantation of such seedlings not only significantly improves the quality of urban greening and biodiversity, but also tests the technical level of landscape engineering.

[0003] Among them, the large-specification seedling transplanting method and system is the focus of current plant transplanting field. Its core goal is to optimize the whole process of seedling selection, preparation, digging, packaging, transportation, planting, and post-maintenance, to overcome the challenges faced by conventional transplanting methods in large-specification seedling applications, thereby ensuring high survival rate of seedlings, reducing construction risks, and improving overall work efficiency.

[0004] The existing technology still has the following problems in implementing large-specification seedling transplantation:

[0005] During the construction preparation stage, the survey and prediction of factors such as individual differences of seedlings, complexity of underground pipelines, and transportation route limitations are often not comprehensive and precise enough, leading to low matching degree between the construction plan and the actual site, which easily causes operational risks. Secondly, in the process of digging and packaging large-specification seedlings, whether it is soil clod or box board digging, it faces the dilemma of high work intensity, high risk of root damage, and difficulty in strictly ensuring the integrity of soil balls / soil platforms, especially when the soil conditions are poor or the operation precision is insufficient, which easily causes broken and scattered clods.

[0006] In addition, the assembly and reinforcement process of the box board is complex, and the precision requirements for soil platform finishing, board docking, and tightening are extremely high. Any deviation may affect the structural stability and subsequent operation safety, and it is easily affected by external environmental factors such as wind. Furthermore, during the hoisting, loading, and long-distance transportation of large-specification seedlings, it is difficult to control the center of gravity, and the protection measures for the tree body and box board are insufficient, which easily causes mechanical damage, and the existing scheme is not perfect in terms of transportation route clearance and guidance coordination. And in the planting, false planting and post-maintenance stages, the existing support, cofferdam and water and fertilizer management methods mostly follow standardized processes, lacking customized and intelligent management mechanisms for the unique physiological characteristics and high survival rate requirements of large-specification seedlings, resulting in the need for further improvement of the survival rate guarantee mechanism.

[0061] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0062] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 The present application provides a large-specification seedling transplanting method and system, and the specific process is as follows:

[0063] S1, obtain the environmental state parameters of the target seedling and the environmental state parameters of the target transplanting area, mainly to provide comprehensive pre-stage data support for seedling transplanting, to ensure the accuracy and scientificity of the transplanting operation, specifically:

[0064] First, the environmental state parameters of the target seedling are obtained, including physiological data of the seedling itself, morphological structure data, and soil and climate data of its original growth environment. In terms of obtaining physiological data of the seedling, through non-contact sensors such as leaf spectrum analyzer, sap flow sensor and growth potential analysis camera, the chlorophyll content, transpiration rate, photosynthetic efficiency and branch and leaf growth status of the seedling are monitored in real time. For example, the leaf spectrum analyzer can quantify the chlorophyll content by measuring the reflectivity of a specific wave band, reflecting the nutritional status of the seedling; the sap flow sensor measures the water conduction rate inside the tree trunk by the thermal pulse method or compensation method, indicating the water stress degree of the seedling. In terms of obtaining morphological structure data of the seedling, a high-precision three-dimensional laser radar scanning system is used to collect point cloud data of the seedling in all directions, construct a three-dimensional digital model of the seedling, and accurately obtain parameters such as tree height, crown width, diameter at breast height, branch point height and crown geometry of the seedling. The three-dimensional model is not only used to accurately calculate the volume and weight of the seedling, but also provides accurate basis for subsequent estimation of root ball size and planning of excavation path. In terms of obtaining soil and climate data of the original growth environment, through an array of soil physical and chemical property sensors, including soil moisture sensor, soil temperature sensor, soil conductivity sensor and soil nutrient rapid tester, the soil water content, soil temperature, soil salt concentration, pH value and content of macroelements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and microelements such as calcium, magnesium and iron in the root distribution area of the seedling are obtained. At the same time, through a small weather station, the environmental temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation intensity of the original growth site are obtained. All the data collected by the sensors are transmitted in real time to the data processing unit through the wireless communication module for preliminary processing and storage. The data processing unit synchronizes the time stamp, detects and filters the abnormal values of the received raw data, and performs preliminary data format conversion and verification to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data. For example, when the soil moisture sensor has a large jump in continuous reading, the system will trigger an abnormal alarm and start a redundant sensor for cross verification or use historical data interpolation to fill in.

[0065] S2, the growth distribution of the target seedling root system is detected, mainly to accurately understand the actual spatial distribution of the underground root system of the seedling. The traditional experience judgment or simple digging method is blind and easy to damage the main root or secondary root, which affects the survival of the seedling. In the present application, multi-modal root detection technology is used, specifically:

[0066] The soil around the target seedling's root system is scanned non-invasively using a ground-penetrating radar system. The ground-penetrating radar emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves and receives reflected signals to identify the depth and distribution of roots, stones, or other underground obstacles in the soil based on the differences in the dielectric constants of different media. The ground-penetrating radar system can generate depth-slice maps of the seedling's underground three-dimensional root system distribution. Secondly, combined with acoustic tomography technology, multiple acoustic wave transmitters and receivers are uniformly arranged at different heights of the trunk and at the root neck to measure the propagation speed of acoustic waves within the tree. Due to the differences in root density and structure from the surrounding soil, changes in acoustic wave propagation speed can further assist in determining the direction and health of the main root. During the detection process, the system collects and transmits detection data in real time, and after the ground-penetrating radar and acoustic tomography data are received by the data processing unit, root system image reconstruction and feature extraction are performed through specialized image processing algorithms. For example, edge detection algorithms are used to identify the contours of the root system, and semantic segmentation models based on deep learning are used to distinguish between live roots, dead roots, and non-biological foreign objects in the soil. In addition, through a root diameter estimation model, the diameter and length of the main root are estimated based on signal attenuation and propagation characteristics, and these data form an accurate three-dimensional model of the seedling's root system distribution. This model can visually display the extension direction of the main root, the distribution density of lateral roots, and the active area of root tips, providing a solid foundation for the accurate calculation of root ball size, thereby maximizing the retention of active root systems and reducing the risk of transplantation.

[0067] S3, based on the detection results, determine the optimal root ball size and cutting path, which is the core link to ensure the survival rate of seedling transplantation. The purpose is to minimize the root ball volume under the premise of meeting the physiological needs of the seedling, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of excavation, transportation, and planting. Specifically:

[0068] Based on the three-dimensional root system distribution model, the direction of the main root, and the root diameter information obtained in step S102, the data processing unit first runs the root ball size optimization algorithm. This algorithm considers the diameter at breast height, tree height, crown width, and tree species requirements for root ball size, such as different tree species having different tolerances to root damage, to determine the minimum effective root ball size. For a specific tree species, based on historical transplant success rate data and root vigor indicators, an empirical root ball diameter and seedling parameter correlation model can be established to assist in determining the initial root ball diameter. This model can be represented as: D 根球 = A 物种 · D 胸径 + B 物种 · H 树高 + C 物种 where D 根球 represents the optimal root ball diameter, D 胸径 represents the diameter at breast height of the seedling, H 树高 represents the tree height of the seedling, A 物种 , B 物种 , and C物种 is a coefficient calibrated according to tree species characteristics and soil type. For example, for shallow-rooted tree species, A 物种 The weight of A is relatively reduced to adapt to its horizontal root distribution characteristics.

[0069] Further, after determining the theoretical size of the root ball, the three-dimensional distribution model of the roots detected in S2 is combined to refine the cutting path planning. The planning process focuses on the following constraints: avoidance of main roots to ensure that important functional roots are not directly cut off; selection of cutting positions outside the dense root area or at lateral root branch points to preserve more capillary roots; avoidance of underground obstacles such as rocks or underground pipes; minimization of earthwork. Through an iterative optimization algorithm, a closed cutting path is found on the three-dimensional root model that meets the root ball size requirement and avoids major root structures. The cutting path is stored in the form of three-dimensional coordinate points and converted into a sequence of executable instructions for the excavating robotic arm, for example, by converting the path into attitude and position instructions for the end effector of the robotic arm through inverse kinematics algorithms. At the same time, the system generates a visual cutting path diagram for the operator to review and adjust. The accurate root ball size and optimized cutting path generated in this step ensure minimal damage to the root system during transplantation, improving the efficiency and survival rate of transplantation. For example, by identifying the horizontal main roots that need special protection, the system can instruct the robotic arm to bypass or adjust the cutting angle to avoid direct cutting, thereby significantly reducing the transplantation shock.

[0070] S4, according to the determined cutting path, accurately positions and binds the target root ball, mainly separating the root ball from the original site accurately and stabilizing the root ball to cope with subsequent excavation and transportation. Specifically:

[0071] First, according to the optimal cutting path generated in step S3, the excavating robot arm or a dedicated root ball cutting device is guided through a positioning system. The positioning system combines a global positioning system module, an inertial measurement unit module, and a visual odometry to achieve centimeter-level or even millimeter-level control of the three-dimensional position and attitude of the cutting tool. The cutting device, such as a vibrating knife, hydraulic shears, or laser cutting head, performs precise cutting according to the planned path. The cutting depth and angle are adjusted in real time by a feedback control system to adapt to changes in soil hardness, root toughness, etc., ensuring a smooth cutting surface and reducing secondary damage to the roots. For example, when cutting encounters thicker and harder roots, the system will dynamically increase the cutting force or adjust the cutting frequency to ensure that the roots can be smoothly cut off. After the root ball cutting is completed, immediate packaging treatment is performed. The choice of packaging material is crucial. Traditional materials such as hemp cloth or straw rope have problems such as easy rotting, poor air permeability, and insufficient strength. The invention uses a new type of high-strength, well-ventilated, and biodegradable composite material, such as a mesh cloth made of polylactic acid fiber and plant fiber, or a biodegradable non-woven fabric with slow-release rooting agent. The packaging process is completed by an automated packaging device.

[0072] Further, the automated packaging device tightly packages the root ball in a spiral winding or grid covering manner according to the actual shape and size of the root ball. The tightness of the packaging is monitored and adjusted in real time by a tension sensor to ensure that the packaging material closely adheres to the surface of the root ball, effectively fixing the soil ball and preventing loosening, while maintaining appropriate air permeability to avoid root suffocation. After packaging is completed, the exterior of the root ball is reinforced, such as by a metal mesh or wooden frame to provide additional structural support to enhance the overall stability of the root ball during lifting and transportation. This precise positioning and packaging process effectively reduces root exposure and water loss, providing strong protection for the seedling and laying a foundation for successful transplantation.

[0073] S5, according to the terrain and the weight of the seedling, the root ball is lifted onto the transport tool by an automated lifting device, mainly to safely and efficiently transfer the cut and packaged root ball of the seedling from the excavation location to the prepared transport tool, specifically:

[0074] The automated lifting equipment is usually composed of one or more mechanical arms, lifting tools, balancing systems, and high-precision weighing sensors. First, the lifting tool of the lifting equipment, such as an adjustable sling, clamp or special lifting basket, is self-adapted according to the size and shape of the root ball to ensure uniform stress on the root ball and avoid local stress concentration that may cause soil ball cracking or damage to the seedling. The lifting tool is connected to a high-strength, low-stretch synthetic fiber sling, and the length and number of the sling are dynamically calculated according to the weight and crown width of the seedling. Second, the weighing sensor starts monitoring the real-time weight of the seedling at the moment the lifting tool contacts the root ball, and this data will be used for subsequent accurate calculation of lifting torque and balancing weight. The system determines the optimal lifting path through path planning algorithms based on terrain data such as slope, surface obstacles and seedling weight information, ensures no collision during lifting, and maintains the perpendicularity of the main axis of the seedling. The lifting control system uses multi-axis cooperative control technology to adjust the movement speed, angle and extension length of each mechanical arm in real time through a feedback loop, keeping the seedling stable throughout the lifting process. For example, when the system detects that the seedling has a tendency to tilt, it will immediately adjust the posture of the corresponding mechanical arm to maintain the balance of the seedling through small displacement compensation. In addition, when lifting onto the transport tool, the positioning system on the transport tool is linked with the lifting equipment to ensure that the root ball can be accurately placed on the pre-set support structure of the transport tool, avoiding secondary movement or impact. The transport tool, such as a special flatbed truck or low-bed semi-trailer, usually has a non-slip mat and fixing device on the cargo bed to ensure the stability of the seedling during transportation. This automated lifting process minimizes human intervention, improves job safety, and effectively avoids the risk of seedling damage caused by improper human operation in the traditional lifting process.

[0075] S6, planting the seedling to the target transplanting area and performing preliminary fixation, which is the key to placing the seedling in the new growth environment and establishing initial stability, specifically:

[0076] Before planting, according to the target transplanting area environment state parameters obtained in S1 and the root ball size of the seedling, the planting hole has been dug and prepared in advance. The depth and width of the planting hole are calculated to ensure that the root ball can be completely placed in and the root neck is flush with or slightly higher than the ground surface, while leaving enough space for soil improvement and root stretching. The bottom of the planting hole is usually paved with a layer of substrate with good water and air permeability, such as coarse sand or small stones, and an appropriate amount of slow-release rooting agent and organic fertilizer is applied. The seedling is lifted to the top of the planting hole, and through the linkage of high-precision visual positioning system and lifting equipment, the verticality and orientation of the seedling are accurately adjusted. For example, according to the preset landscape effect or the direction of sunlight, the crown of the seedling is adjusted to face. After the seedling is slowly placed in the planting hole, the system monitors the verticality of the main stem of the seedling through multiple high-precision level sensors and makes fine adjustments to ensure that the posture of the seedling is correct. Then, the soil is filled in layers and initially compacted. The filling material is usually improved nutrient soil or a mixture of original soil and organic matter. Since there is no basis for crop planting in the newly planted area, the original soil may lack the necessary microorganisms and trace elements for seedling growth, and relying solely on the original soil cannot meet the initial conditions for seedling growth. Therefore, the filling material is needed to provide the necessary nutrients for the initial growth of the seedling and optimize the soil structure. The compaction process is carried out by automated compaction equipment, which applies uniform force to avoid damaging the root system. After each layer of soil is filled, the soil density is detected by a soil density sensor until the preset target value is reached, ensuring that the root ball is in close contact with the surrounding soil, eliminating air gaps, and benefiting root growth. Finally, preliminary fixation is performed. By setting three to four pull lines or supports around the seedling, the main stem of the seedling is fixed with soft binding materials such as wide nylon tape to prevent the seedling from tilting or falling due to strong winds or mechanical vibration. The tension of the pull line is monitored by a tension sensor to ensure appropriate fixation without damaging the bark.

[0077] S7, after the seedling is transplanted, maintenance and monitoring are mainly to ensure that the seedling recovers after transplantation and to improve the sustainability of the survival rate. The post-transplantation maintenance and monitoring is a long-term and dynamic process that needs to be adjusted accurately according to the real-time physiological state of the seedling and environmental changes. Specifically:

[0078] First, water management. The system, based on the physiological data of the seedling obtained in S1 and the soil moisture sensor data after S6, combined with local climate conditions such as rainfall, evaporation, and seedling transpiration rate, develops and executes a dynamic irrigation plan through an intelligent irrigation controller. For example, when the tree sap flow sensor indicates that the water stress of the seedling is increasing and the soil moisture sensor shows that the soil water content is below the threshold, the irrigation system will automatically start and perform precise drip irrigation or micro-sprinkling irrigation. The amount of irrigation water is not fixed, but is determined by a calculation model based on evapotranspiration and seedling biomass adjustment, ensuring that each irrigation amount meets the needs of the seedling and avoids excessive watering that causes root hypoxia. The irrigation water calculation model can be expressed as: V灌溉 =E 蒸散 ·K 覆盖 ·A 根系 +L 补偿 , where V 灌溉 E represents the amount of irrigation water per unit time. 蒸散 K represents the reference crop evapotranspiration calculated based on environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. 覆盖 A represents the canopy coverage coefficient of seedlings. 根系 L represents the effective absorption area of ​​the root system. 补偿 This represents the compensation amount for soil infiltration and surface runoff loss. This model enables precise, on-demand irrigation, conserving water resources.

[0079] Furthermore, nutrient supply and soil improvement are implemented. Based on the seedling growth vigor, leaf color, and soil nutrient test results, customized nutrient supplementation is provided through an intelligent fertilization system. For example, when the leaf spectral analyzer shows low chlorophyll content and the soil nutrient rapid tester shows insufficient nitrogen, the fertilization system will precisely mix and deliver nitrogen-containing compound fertilizer through an integrated water and fertilizer system (model JZ-SF1). Simultaneously, the soil around the planting hole is regularly tested. If soil compaction or decreased permeability is found, soil structure optimization is achieved through mechanical loosening and the application of organic matter amendments.

[0080] Then, pest and disease control and physical protection are implemented. A high-resolution vision system is used for routine inspections of the seedlings. Combining image recognition and deep learning algorithms, early symptoms of pests and diseases are identified in real time, such as leaf spots, insect eggs, or insect damage. Once pests or diseases are detected, the system will issue an early warning and recommend appropriate biological or physical control measures based on the type of pest or disease, such as releasing natural enemies or spraying biological pesticides. For areas susceptible to wind damage, snow damage, or human-caused damage, the system will suggest installing protective nets, windbreaks, or reinforced supports to provide additional physical protection. The reinforcement scheme for the supports is not static but dynamically optimized based on data such as seedling height, crown width, local maximum wind speed, and soil bearing capacity, using a mechanical model. The stability assessment of the supports in this mechanical model considers the relationship between the external load on the seedlings and their own resistance torque, with a stability coefficient S. 稳定性 This can be expressed as: Among them, M 抵抗 The overturning moment is provided by the root ball and support system of the seedling, M 风载 It is the wind load overturning moment borne by the tree crown, M 自重 The overturning moment, M, is caused by the uneven distribution of the seedling's own weight. 其他 These are other possible external overturning moments. The larger this coefficient is, the more stable the seedling is.

[0081] Finally, the microenvironment is regulated. In extreme weather conditions such as high temperature and drought, low temperature and frost, the system will start the sunshade net, the spray cooling equipment or the cold protection covering, and accurately regulates the microenvironment of the local seedling, and relieves the stress of the seedling caused by the extreme climate. All the maintenance data such as irrigation amount, fertilizer amount, disease and insect occurrence and environmental parameter change are recorded and stored in the database for subsequent maintenance strategy optimization and seedling growth model calibration. This step greatly improves the survival rate and growth quality of large-sized seedlings through continuous and intelligent monitoring and maintenance.

[0082] Based on the above, the application also provides a large-sized seedling transplanting system, which comprises a data acquisition module, a data processing module, a control execution module, a communication module and an energy management module.

All the sensors are configured with analog-to-digital conversion units and data buffers to ensure high precision and real-time data acquisition.

[0090] Further, the data processing module also contains a knowledge base, which stores the growth characteristics of various tree species, transplantation experience, pest control schemes and soil improvement formulas, etc. as the basis for decision support.

[0098] The control execution module also integrates multiple safety interlocking mechanisms and fault diagnosis systems.
