TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of crop transplanting machinery, especially to the horizontal transplanting and mulching of sweet potato seedlings, in particular to a horizontal flat planting and partition mulching transplanter for sweet potato and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sweet potato, as an important food crop, plays an important role in ensuring food security and promoting agricultural economic development, and is an important force to realize rural revitalization and help build a powerful nation. The current production of sweet potato ridge planting technology mainly includes four typical types of straight planting method, inclined planting method, horizontal planting method and boat bottom shape planting method. The horizontal planting method has the core advantages of more tubers and uniform tuber size, and shows significant adaptability in planting scenarios. This planting method is especially suitable for the demand of fresh sweet potato for commodity potato appearance and yield, so it has developed into a widely used mainstream cultivation mode in the current fresh sweet potato planting field.
[0003] At present, when related sweet potato seedlings are horizontally planted, mechanical rotary plowing is usually used to form ridges and cover mulch, and then artificial planting is carried out, which is labor-intensive and low in efficiency. In order to solve the problems existing in artificial planting, some existing horizontal transplanting and mulching machines use chain type seedling planting device instead of artificial planting, but still need to carry out film buckling work after transplanting and mulching, which slows down the work efficiency. At present, the sweet potato industry urgently needs to realize the mechanized horizontal mulching and transplanting of high-efficiency sweet potato seedlings. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a horizontal flat planting and partition mulching transplanter for sweet potato and a use method thereof, which realizes integrated operation of covering soil and mulching, and greatly improves the work efficiency.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a sweet potato horizontal planting and mulching transplanting machine, comprising a frame, and a ridging device, a mulching device, and a soil covering device mounted on the frame. The mulching device includes a B-zone mulching frame located to the left of the ridging device and an A-zone mulching frame located above and behind the ridging device. Mulch film covering the left sloping surface and the left bottom surface of the ridge is installed on the B-zone mulching frame, and mulch film covering the top surface, the right sloping surface, and the right bottom surface of the ridge is installed on the A-zone mulching frame. The soil covering device includes a soil elevator I located to the left of the ridging device and a soil elevator I located to the right of the ridging device. The discharge end of the soil elevator II is equipped with a soil separating plate I. Below the soil falling channel in front of the soil separating plate I is a guide plate I. Below the soil falling channel behind the soil separating plate I is a guide plate II. The discharge end of the guide plate I corresponds to the mulched furrow on the left side of the ridge, and the discharge end of the guide plate II corresponds to the top of the ridge. The discharge end of the soil elevator II is equipped with a soil separating plate II. Below the soil falling channel in front of the soil separating plate II is a guide plate III. Below the soil falling channel behind the soil separating plate II is a guide plate IV. The discharge end of the guide plate III corresponds to the root of the potato seedling falling on the ridge, and the discharge end of the guide plate IV corresponds to the mulched furrow on the right side of the ridge. The mulch film extending from the film-hanging frame in area A is located behind the discharge end of guide plate III and in front of the discharge end of guide plate II.
[0006] This solution achieves independent mulching in zones centered on the potato seedling growth point by setting up mulch racks in Zone A and Zone B. The soil-separating plate in the mulching device presses the soil to fix the mulch in Zone A and Zone B respectively, thus achieving simultaneous mulching and soil covering.
[0007] As an optimization, the ridging device includes a left ridging plate and a right ridging plate that are opposite each other in the left-right direction and fixed to the frame. The distance between the upper ends of the left and right ridging plates is smaller than the distance between their lower ends. A seedling support plate for supporting the sweet potato seedlings and leaves is fixed to the left side of the left ridging plate. The ridging device of this optimized scheme uses left and right ridging plates to create ridges, has a simple structure, and the seedling support plate provides support for the sweet potato seedlings and leaves, making it easier to maintain the placement of the sweet potato seedlings.
[0008] As an optimization, the seedling support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the left ridging plate, and a film-pressing wheel is provided below the seedling support plate. The film-pressing wheel is rotatably connected to the seedling support plate via a vertical shaft, and passes through the left ridging plate to the right. This optimized solution, by setting the film-pressing wheel, presses the mulch film in area B into the side of the ridge, ensuring the reliability of the mulch film fixation.
[0009] As an optimization, a film covering scraper is arranged between the film hanging frame in area A and the discharge end of the soil guide plate III, and the lower edge of the film covering scraper is provided with a protrusion protruding downward, which corresponds to the left edge of the mulching film extending from the film hanging frame in area A. The optimization scheme is beneficial to improve the flatness of the ridge top surface by arranging the film covering scraper, and the protrusion is arranged to form a groove on the ridge top surface, and the left edge of the mulching film in area A is located in the groove, which can better seal the mulching film after soil covering, prevent the edge of the mulching film from being exposed, and avoid the mulching film being blown up by the wind.
[0010] As an optimization, a limiting ring is fixedly arranged on the film hanging frame in area A, and the mulching film on the film hanging frame in area A is located on the right side of the limiting ring, and the limiting ring corresponds to the protrusion in the front-rear direction. The optimization scheme limits the mulching film on the film hanging frame in area A by arranging the limiting ring, which better ensures that the edge of the mulching film in area A is located at the groove position.
[0011] As an optimization, a pressing wheel frame is rotatably connected to the frame through a horizontal shaft, and a pressing wheel located behind the soil covering device is rotatably arranged on the pressing wheel frame, and the pressing wheel corresponds to the ridge top surface. The optimization scheme arranges the pressing wheel to press the ridge top surface after film covering and soil covering, so that the mulching film is more stable.
[0012] As an optimization, an upwardly extending hanging plate is fixedly arranged on the pressing wheel frame, a support rod is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the hanging plate, and a support plate is fixedly arranged on the frame below the support rod. The optimization scheme uses the support plate to support the support rod, thereby limiting the lower limit position of the pressing wheel, preventing the pressing wheel from damaging the ridge, and allowing the pressing wheel to move upward to avoid damage to the ridge caused by hard protrusions on the ridge.
[0013] As an optimization, a drip irrigation device and a chain type seedling planting device are also arranged on the frame, the drip irrigation device includes a drip irrigation tape frame arranged on the frame, a drip irrigation tape wheel shaft-connected to the drip irrigation tape frame, and a drip irrigation tape string groove fixedly connected to the frame, the drip irrigation tape string groove is located between the two transplanting chains of the chain type seedling planting device, and the drip irrigation tape extending from the drip irrigation tape wheel extends to the upper side behind the seedling planting point of the chain type seedling planting device through the drip irrigation tape string groove. The optimization scheme arranges the drip irrigation device to lay the drip irrigation tape, and arranges the chain type seedling planting device to replace manual seedling planting, and the laying path of the drip irrigation tape is arranged to pass above the seedling planting point of the chain type seedling planting device, so as to prevent the seedling planting claws of the chain type seedling planting device from carrying the sweet potato seedlings, and ensure that the sweet potato seedlings are separated from the seedling planting claws.
[0014] The scheme also provides a use method of the above-mentioned sweet potato transplanter for transverse flat planting and partitioned mulching and transplanting, which includes the following steps: S1, the sweet potato seedlings are sent to the seedling planting point by the chain type seedling planting device, the sweet potato seedlings reaching the seedling planting point fall on the ridge top surface and are perpendicular to the ridge, the sweet potato seedlings are pressed below by the drip irrigation tape, and the sweet potato seedlings are separated from the seedling planting claws of the chain type seedling planting device by the blocking effect of the drip irrigation tape, so as to prevent the seedling planting claws from carrying the sweet potato seedlings upward; S2. Independent mulching is carried out with the growing point of the potato seedlings on the ridge as the center. Mulching in area A includes mulching on the top surface of the ridge and mulching on the sides of the ridge where the potato seedlings are not growing. After the potato seedlings on the ridge are covered with soil, a groove is shoveled out using a mulching scraper, and then the mulch film in area A is laid. The left end of the mulch film in area A is located in the groove, and the right end of the mulch film in area A extends to the edge of the right furrow and is fixed by pressing the soil with a mulching device. Mulching in area B includes mulching on the sides of the ridge where the potato seedlings are growing. The upper end of the mulch film in area B is pressed into the ridge to a certain depth below the leaves of the potato seedlings by a pressing wheel, and the lower end of the mulch film in area B extends to the edge of the left furrow and is fixed by pressing the soil with a mulching device. S3. Using soil elevator I and soil elevator II, the soil is lifted. When the soil lifted by soil elevator I falls, it is diverted by soil divider I. The soil in front of soil divider I is used for soil compaction and fixation at the mulching furrow position in area B, and the soil behind soil divider I is used for soil compaction and fixation at the mulching top surface position in area A. When the soil lifted by soil elevator II falls, it is diverted by soil divider II. The soil in front of soil divider II is used for covering the potato seedlings, and the soil behind soil divider II is used for soil compaction and fixation at the mulching furrow position in area A.
