Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil compaction devices, and in particular to a soil compaction device for single-sowing Angelica sinensis and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Angelica sinensis is a traditional and precious Chinese medicinal herb, renowned as "the best Angelica sinensis in my country." Its main production areas are concentrated in the cold, damp regions of Gansu, Yunnan, and Sichuan provinces. Gansu Province is the authentic producing area of ​​Angelica sinensis, boasting a large planting area and high-quality herbs, enjoying a nationwide reputation. Traditional production in Gansu follows a three-stage production model: summer seedling cultivation – seedling storage – transplanting to finished medicinal plants the following year. However, due to the genetic characteristics of Angelica sinensis and the vernalization process during seedling storage, the plants bolt during the finished medicinal period, losing their medicinal value and causing significant losses in production. To solve the technical problem of early bolting in Angelica sinensis, researchers have conducted research on off-season facility seedling cultivation technology based on plant vernalization theory, greatly reducing the early bolting rate. However, when transplanting Angelica sinensis seedlings out of season, it is necessary to transplant them with substrate (soil) to ensure their survival rate. In recent years, the Institute of Chinese Medicinal Herbs of the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences has developed a single-seedling technology to cultivate Angelica sinensis seedlings into cylindrical individual seedlings with a diameter of about 20mm and a height of about 12cm. This has greatly improved seedling cultivation efficiency and seedling survival rate, and has also enabled mechanical transplanting of Angelica sinensis seedlings, providing a new approach for efficient seedling cultivation and reducing early bolting and mechanical transplanting. In the process of single-seedling cultivation of Angelica sinensis, a large amount of manual labor is required for filling the soil, and the soil is not easy to compact, posing a threat to the healthy growth of the root system of Angelica sinensis seedlings. Single-seedling seedlings of Angelica sinensis require suitable soil compaction to ensure root spread and growth. Existing equipment mostly relies on manual operation or the use of other equipment to complete the soil compaction process, resulting in low automation and low efficiency in large-scale seedling production.

[0003] To address these issues, a soil-pressing device for single-sapling cultivation of Angelica sinensis and its application are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soil-pressing device for single-sowing cultivation of Angelica sinensis and its application. This addresses the problems existing in the prior art, improving the efficiency of soil pressing during Angelica sinensis seedling cultivation while reducing the workload of planting personnel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides a soil-pressing device for single-species seedling cultivation of Angelica sinensis, comprising: A workbench is provided, with several legs fixedly connected to its bottom surface, partitions fixedly connected to the legs, a gantry frame fixedly connected to the workbench, a conveyor belt installed on the workbench for conveying planting frames, planting paper laid inside the planting frames, a clamping mechanism and a limiting mechanism installed on the workbench, the clamping mechanism located on both sides of the conveyor belt, the limiting mechanism installed on the workbench, a controller installed on the gantry frame, and both the clamping mechanism and the limiting mechanism electrically connected to the controller. A pressure assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the gantry frame. A soil-pressing plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and a soil-pressing plate is fixedly connected to the soil-pressing plate. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a hydraulic pump, which is electrically connected to the controller and is fixedly connected to the partition plate.

The cylinder is connected to an air pump, which is fixedly connected to the partition. The air pump is electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the planting frame.

[0009] A soil-pressing device for single-sowing cultivation of Angelica sinensis is applied in the cultivation of single-sowing Angelica sinensis.

[0010] This invention discloses the following technical effects: In this device, planting paper is laid inside the planting frame, and then planting soil is added. After the planting soil is filled, the planting frame is placed on a conveyor belt, which transports the planting frame and its soil to below the pressing plate. A limiting mechanism is used to determine the transport position of the planting frame and blocks the moving planting frame to prevent excessive movement. A clamping mechanism clamps the planting frame, ensuring that the planting frame is positioned exactly below the pressing plate. The controller activates the hydraulic cylinder, which extends to press the pressing plate completely onto the soil, compacting the soil while simultaneously creating planting holes. A hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder, and the controller also controls the stopping and starting of the clamping and limiting mechanisms. This invention uses a hydraulic cylinder to compact the soil, resulting in more consistent compaction each time. The clamping and limiting mechanisms facilitate the positioning of the planting frame, reduce manual operation, and make the device more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-2This invention provides a soil-pressing device for single-sapling cultivation of Angelica sinensis, comprising: Workbench 1, with several legs 2 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of workbench 1, partitions 3 fixedly connected to the legs 2, gantry frame 4 fixedly connected to workbench 1, conveyor belt 5 installed on workbench 1, conveyor belt 5 used to transport planting frames 6, planting paper laid inside planting frames 6, clamping mechanism and limiting mechanism installed on workbench 1, clamping mechanism located on both sides of conveyor belt 5, limiting mechanism installed on workbench 1, controller 7 installed on gantry frame 4, clamping mechanism and limiting mechanism are both electrically connected to controller 7; The pressure assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 8, which is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 4. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a soil pressing plate 9, and a soil pressing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the soil pressing plate 9. The hydraulic cylinder 8 is connected to a hydraulic pump 11, which is electrically connected to a controller 7. The hydraulic pump 11 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 3.

[0016] In this device, planting paper rolls (honeycomb seedling tubes with a diameter of approximately 19mm) are first laid inside the planting frame 6. Planting soil is then added. After the soil is filled, the planting frame 6 is placed on the conveyor belt 5, which transports the planting frame 6 and its soil to below the pressing plate 10. A limiting mechanism is used to determine the transport position of the planting frame 6, preventing excessive movement. A clamping mechanism holds the planting frame 6 in place, ensuring it is positioned directly below the pressing plate 10. The controller 7 activates the hydraulic cylinder 8, which extends, pressing the pressing plate 10 completely onto the soil. This compacts the soil and creates planting holes. The hydraulic pump 11 pumps hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder 10. The controller 7 also controls the stopping and starting of the clamping and limiting mechanisms. The hydraulic cylinder 8 and the hydraulic pump 11 are connected via oil pipes.

[0017] The scheme is further optimized. The limiting mechanism includes two limiting plates 15. Two motors 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the worktable 1. A through hole is opened on the worktable 1. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 16. The connecting rod 17 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 15. The limiting plate 15 is located above the worktable 1. The motor 16 is electrically connected to the controller 7.

[0018] The planting frame 6 moves on the conveyor belt 5, with two limiting plates 15 positioned above the conveyor belt 5 and in contact with it. When it is necessary to block the planting frame 6, the limiting plates 15 are positioned horizontally above the conveyor belt 5. After the soil compaction action is completed, the motor 16 drives the connecting rod 17 and the limiting plates 15 to rotate, causing the limiting plates 15 to rotate away from above the conveyor belt 5, making it easier for the planting frame 6 to pass through.

[0019] The scheme is further optimized. The clamping mechanism includes two cylinders 12, which are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 5. The cylinders 12 are fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The output end of the cylinders 12 is fixedly connected to a baffle 13. The two baffles 13 are used to clamp the planting frame 6. The cylinders 12 are connected to an air pump 14, which is fixedly connected to the partition 3. The air pump 14 is electrically connected to the controller 7.

[0020] After the planting frame 6 is positioned by the limiting plate 15, the two cylinders 12 extend, and the two baffles 13 clamp the planting frame 6. Through the action of the two baffles 13 and the limiting plate 15, the planting frame 6 is positioned just below the pressure plate 10. The cylinders 12 and the air pump 14 are connected by an air pipe.

[0021] The design has been further optimized, with a handle 18 fixedly connected to the planting frame 6.

[0022] The handle 18 makes it easy to pick up the planting frame 6.

[0023] A soil-pressing device for single-sowing cultivation of Angelica sinensis is applied in the cultivation of single-sowing Angelica sinensis.

[0024] The method of using this device is as follows: First, a planting paper booklet is laid in the planting frame 6. The planting paper booklet is a honeycomb seedling paper tube with a diameter of approximately 19mm. Then, planting soil is filled in. After the planting soil is filled, the planting frame 6 is placed on the conveyor belt 5. The conveyor belt 5 transports the planting frame 6 and its soil to the area below the pressing plate 10. During the transport process, two limiting plates 15 are located above the conveyor belt 5, blocking the planting frame 6. After the planting frame 6 is positioned by the limiting plates 15, two cylinders 12 extend, and two baffles 13 clamp the planting frame 6. Through the action of the two baffles 13 and the limiting plates 15, the planting frame 6 is positioned exactly below the pressing plate 10. The controller 7 activates the hydraulic cylinder 8, which extends, causing the pressing plate 10 to completely press down on the soil. While compacting the soil, it also presses out planting holes. The controller 7 is used to control this device.

[0025] In this embodiment, the planting frame 6 is shaped like a winnowing basket, with plates on three sides and one side open. The three plates are 12cm high, the planting frame 6 is 50cm long and 30cm wide, the hydraulic cylinder 8 has an adjustable pressure range of 5-15 tons, and the conveyor belt 5 is 50cm wide. The raised part of the soil pressing plate is 5-8mm high.
