TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a garlic tip adjusting mechanism of a garlic dibbling machine and a working method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Garlic is a widely planted crop with important economic value, and the seeding process in its planting process has a key influence on the final yield and quality. Traditional garlic planting relies on manual seeding, and the grower needs to pick each garlic clove and ensure that the garlic tip is inserted into the soil. This manual seeding method is extremely inefficient, especially in large-scale planting scenarios, which requires a large amount of manpower and time cost, seriously restricting the large-scale development of the garlic planting industry.
[0003] With the advancement of agricultural mechanization, some garlic seeders have emerged. However, the existing garlic seeders have many deficiencies in garlic tip orientation adjustment. Some seeders cannot effectively control the orientation of the garlic tip, resulting in random orientation of the garlic tip during seeding, which will affect the emergence rate and growth consistency of the garlic. Because the garlic tip upwards is beneficial to the smooth emergence of garlic and the normal growth and development of the root system, inconsistent garlic tip orientation may hinder the growth of some garlic in the soil, which cannot fully absorb nutrients and water, thereby reducing the survival rate and yield of garlic.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without some or all of these details. In other instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The techniques employed herein are generally known in the art.
[0022] It is to be understood that the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It is to be understood that the term "comprising" means "including, but not limited to."

[0025] The garlic insertion machine garlic tip adjusting mechanism provided by the embodiment comprises an insertion machine body 1, a buffer groove 2 is arranged at the garlic outlet of the insertion machine body 1 and can be opened and closed, and an insertion mechanism is further arranged on the insertion machine body 1, and the bottom of the insertion mechanism is a duckbill 9. The buffer groove 2 is installed on the insertion machine body 1 through a mounting frame, a camera 4 is arranged at the buffer groove 2 on the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is fixed on the insertion machine body 1 and does not move with the up-and-down movement of the insertion mechanism. A photographing groove 3 matched with the buffer groove 2 is arranged on the insertion mechanism, a support frame 6 is arranged below the photographing groove 3, a plurality of linear cylinders 7 are arranged in sequence in the transverse direction on the support frame 6, a swing cylinder 8 is installed on the piston rod of the linear cylinder 7, and a turning groove 5 is connected to the swing end of the swing cylinder 8. Preferably, the turning groove 5 is in a funnel structure, so as to facilitate the smooth sliding of the garlic into the duckbill 9. The camera 4 is self-provided with a light source, and clear imaging of the garlic in the photographing groove 3 can still be ensured when the light is insufficient or the environment is complex.
[0026] In the working process, the garlic falls into the photographing groove 3 from the buffer groove 2 through the feeding port, and the camera 4 photographs after the garlic enters the photographing groove 3. After the photographing is completed, the photo is compared and analyzed in combination with the pre-stored standard model of the garlic in the controller, so as to identify the posture of the garlic and judge the direction of the garlic tip. When the garlic tip is upward or the garlic is transversely placed, the control system makes the photographing groove 3 open, and the garlic directly falls into the duckbill 9. When the garlic tip is downward, the control system first makes the linear cylinder 7 at the corresponding position act, the piston rod thereof is extended and drives the swing cylinder 8 to move the turning groove 5 to the position directly below the photographing groove 3, then the photographing groove 3 is controlled to be opened, and the garlic with the downward garlic tip falls into the turning groove 5. After the garlic enters the turning groove 5, the swing cylinder 8 is started and drives the turning groove 5 to rotate by 180 degrees, so as to realize the turning of the garlic and make the garlic tip upwardly fall into the duckbill 9. The garlic in the duckbill 9 is sent into the soil to complete the insertion while keeping the garlic tip upward.
[0027] To ensure the accuracy of each action timing, a plurality of sensors and blocks are provided in the embodiment to control the timing: the timing of the camera 4 is controlled by the first proximity switch 12 and the first block 11, the first block 11 is arranged on the shaft 10 of the intercalator, and the first proximity switch 12 is arranged on one side of the shaft 10, when the block rotates to the switch position, the camera 4 is triggered to take a picture, at this time the duckbill 9 is at the lowest point. The opening timing of the photographing groove 3 is controlled by the second proximity switch 14 and the second block 13, the second block 13 is also arranged on the shaft 10 of the intercalator, and the second proximity switch 14 is arranged on one side of the shaft 10, when the second block 13 rotates to the switch position, the photographing groove 3 is triggered to open, at this time the duckbill 9 completes the intercalation and moves upward from the lowest point. The position of the duckbill 9 at the stop is controlled by the third proximity switch 16 and the third block 15, after receiving the stop command, the third proximity switch 16 starts to operate, when the third block 15 rotates to the switch position, the control system stops immediately, at this time the duckbill 9 is at the highest position, avoiding damage to the duckbill 9 during the walking process after stopping.
[0028] Through the above structure and control method, the garlic tip direction can be automatically adjusted during the garlic intercalation process, ensuring that the garlic tip is upward during intercalation, and improving the survival rate of garlic. At the same time, through reasonable control of the stop position, the duckbill 9 can be effectively prevented from being damaged during the movement after stopping.
