[0014] The seedling transplanting method of the full-automatic sweet potato transplanting machine is as follows:

[0015] The inner side of the seedling tape sleeve on the seedling tape roll is installed on the unwinding shaft, and the outer side of the seedling tape sleeve is wound from below the dial wheel and installed on the winding shaft, the seedling tape of the seedling tape roll is engaged with the dial wheel, and a plurality of sweet potato seedlings are arranged at intervals on the seedling tape; in the initial state, the electromagnetic clutch one is separated.

[0016] Two mobile chassis drive frames move in the field: the controller controls the motor to drive the driving shaft of the corresponding mobile chassis to rotate, the driving shaft of the mobile chassis drives the driving shaft of the other mobile chassis to rotate through the shaft coupling, the two driving shafts drive the two driven shafts to rotate through the two electromagnetic clutches, the two driven shafts drive the two rear shafts to rotate through the two chain transmission mechanisms, the two rear shafts drive the two rear wheel shafts to rotate through the two chain transmission mechanisms, and then drive the two rear wheels to rotate, so that the frame advances along a straight path in the field; while the frame advances in the field, the controller controls the electromagnetic clutch one to engage, so that when one of the rear shafts drives the seedling taking transmission shaft to rotate through the chain transmission mechanism five, the seedling taking transmission shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the gearbox and the electromagnetic clutch one, the power of the rotating shaft is transmitted to the fluted shaft through the bevel gear pair, the seedling feeding transmission shaft and the chain transmission mechanism one in turn, the fluted shaft drives the ratchet shaft to rotate intermittently through the fluted wheel mechanism, the ratchet shaft drives the winding shaft to rotate intermittently through the chain transmission mechanism two, the winding transmission shaft one, the cylindrical gear pair and the winding transmission shaft two, the winding shaft drives the corresponding seedling belt sleeve to intermittently wind the seedling belt, the ratchet shaft intermittently drives the seedling belt through the ratchet, and then the unwinding shaft is intermittently rotated synchronously, the seedling belt roll intermittently releases part of the seedling belt, and with the advancement of the frame, each sweet potato seedling on the seedling belt is transported to the seedling taking position; in addition, the rotating shaft drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear meshes with the intermediate gear and the driven gear two, the intermediate gear meshes with the driven gear one, and then the driven gear one and the driven gear two rotate synchronously and reversely, the driven gear one drives the connecting rod one to rotate through the connecting plate, the driven gear two drives the cylindrical pin one to move along the arc-shaped groove until the cylindrical pin one moves to the end of the arc-shaped groove, the driven gear two drives the connecting rod two to rotate through the cylindrical pin one and the arc-shaped groove, the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two jointly drive the connecting rod three to rotate, the connecting rod three drives the ends of the clamping boards to move along the hook-shaped trajectory through the clamping seedling connecting pieces and the clamping seedling rods.When link three rotates, the relative angle between link two and link three changes, causing the cam plate to rotate relative to link three. This causes the bent rod to move along the cam groove and drive the lever to oscillate back and forth. When the bent rod moves along the return section of the cam groove, the lever drives the two rollers to move away from the seedling clamping rod along the outer walls of the two seedling clamping connectors. The restoring force of each torsion spring causes the ends of the two seedling clamping connectors near the seedling clamping rod to move towards each other, which in turn drives the two seedling clamping plates to move towards each other through the two seedling clamping rods. At this time, link three drives the lever, seedling clamping connectors, seedling clamping rods, and seedling clamping plates to move towards the seedling picking position. When the bent rod begins to move near the resting section of the cam groove, the two seedling clamping plates move to the seedling picking position and close, clamping the sweet potato seedling stem located at the seedling picking position. As link one and link two rotate, the two seedling clamping plates remove the sweet potato seedling from the seedling belt and drive the sweet potato seedling towards the planting position. The machine moves to position the sweet potato seedling, causing its stem to insert into the soil in a boat-bottom shape. When the two clamping plates move to the planting position, the bending rod begins to move along the push section of the cam groove. The lever drives the two rollers to move along the outer walls of the two clamping connectors towards the clamping rod, causing the ends of the two clamping connectors near the clamping rod to move in opposite directions. This, in turn, causes the two clamping plates to move in opposite directions through the two clamping rods, separating the two clamping plates and releasing the clamping of the sweet potato seedling. As the connecting rods one and two rotate, the two clamping plates move away from the soil. When the bending rod begins to move along the far rest section of the cam groove, the two clamping plates remain separated until the bending rod begins to enter the return section of the cam groove, thus completing the transplanting of the sweet potato seedling. As the frame moves forward, the seedling feeding mechanism intermittently transports each sweet potato seedling to the seedling picking position, where the seedling picking and transplanting mechanism completes the picking and transplanting of each sweet potato seedling.

[0017] Preferably, before transplanting, the motor is not working, and the controller controls each electric cylinder to extend or shorten. Each electric cylinder drives the frame to descend or rise through the corresponding connecting rod one and the corresponding connecting rod two, adjusting the height of the frame to adjust the transplanting depth. In addition, the output shaft speed of the gearbox is adjusted to change the speed of the rotating shaft, thus adjusting the transplanting spacing of the sweet potato seedlings.

[0018] Preferably, when the frame needs to turn, the controller controls the disengagement of electromagnetic clutch one and the disengagement of electromagnetic clutch two located on the left or right side of the frame, so that the drive shaft and driven shaft in the movable chassis located on the left or right side of the frame are disconnected, and the rear wheels located on the left or right side of the frame stop rotating, thereby creating a differential speed between the two rear wheels, allowing the frame to turn differentially until the frame turn is completed. Then, the controller controls the engagement of electromagnetic clutch one and the engagement of electromagnetic clutch two located on the left or right side of the frame.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This invention enables the orderly transport, clamping, and transplanting of sweet potato seedlings, achieving fully automated transplanting with high efficiency. Specifically, in this invention, two moving chassis drive the frame forward. In the seedling feeding mechanism, the grooved wheel shaft drives the dial wheel shaft to rotate intermittently via the grooved wheel mechanism. The dial wheel shaft drives the winding shaft to rotate synchronously and intermittently via the chain transmission mechanism two. The winding shaft drives the seedling belt to wind onto the corresponding seedling belt sleeves and intermittently wind the seedling belt. The dial wheel shaft intermittently moves the seedling belt via the dial wheel, thereby causing the unwinding shaft to rotate synchronously and intermittently, allowing the seedling belt to be released intermittently, thus achieving orderly transport of sweet potato seedlings. The seedling picking and transplanting mechanism uses a five-bar linkage composed of double crank gears to clamp and transplant the sweet potato seedlings. The rotating shaft drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear drives the driven gear one to rotate via the intermediate wheel. The driven gear one drives the connecting rod one to rotate, and the driving gear also drives the connecting rod two to rotate via the driven gear two. Connecting rod one and connecting rod two drive the connecting rod three to move, so that connecting rod three moves through each seedling clamping connection. The components and each seedling clamping rod drive each seedling clamping plate to move along a hook-shaped trajectory. At the same time, the relative angle between connecting rod two and connecting rod three changes, the cam plate rotates relative to connecting rod three, the bent rod moves along the cam groove, and drives the lever to swing back and forth around the hinge center of its connection with the upper convex plate of connecting rod three. The two rollers on the lever move along the outer walls of the two seedling clamping connectors hinged on the convex plate, so that the two seedling clamping connectors drive the two seedling clamping plates to close or open through the two seedling clamping rods, realizing the clamping and release of sweet potato seedlings. In turn, when the two seedling clamping plates move along the hook-shaped trajectory, they clamp the stem of the sweet potato seedling transported to the seedling picking position, and drive the sweet potato seedling stem to insert into the soil in a boat-bottom shape, and then leave the soil. This realizes the clamping and transplanting of sweet potato seedlings, and makes the film breaks on the plastic film covering the soil smaller, so as to avoid affecting the film covering effect.

[0021] 2. This invention utilizes a single power source to enable the forward movement of the frame and the orderly transport, clamping, and transplanting of sweet potato seedlings, reducing energy consumption. Specifically, this invention uses an electric motor to drive the drive shaft of the corresponding moving chassis to rotate. This drive shaft drives the drive shaft of another moving chassis to rotate via coupling two. Each drive shaft drives the corresponding rear wheel to rotate via a corresponding electromagnetic clutch two, driven shaft, chain drive mechanism three, rear axle, chain drive mechanism four, and rear wheel axle, allowing the frame to move along a straight path in the field. The rear axle of the moving chassis drives the rotating shaft to rotate via chain drive mechanism five, seedling picking drive shaft, gearbox, and electromagnetic clutch one, thus advancing the frame forward. The machine can clamp and transplant sweet potato seedlings. The rotating shaft drives the grooved wheel shaft to rotate through the bevel gear pair, seedling transmission shaft and chain transmission mechanism, thereby realizing the orderly transportation of sweet potato seedlings. Furthermore, when the frame turns, the invention controls the electromagnetic clutch to disconnect the output shaft of the gearbox from the rotating shaft, stopping the orderly transportation, clamping and transplanting of sweet potato seedlings. By controlling the electromagnetic clutch, the machine disconnects the drive shaft and driven shaft in the moving chassis on the corresponding side when the frame turns, thereby stopping the rear wheel on the corresponding side from rotating. This creates a differential speed on both sides of the frame, thus realizing the differential steering operation of the frame.

[0022] 3. By controlling the extension or retraction of each electric cylinder, each electric cylinder drives the frame to descend or rise through corresponding connecting rod one and corresponding connecting rod two, thereby adjusting the height of the frame and thus adjusting the transplanting depth. Furthermore, by adjusting the output shaft speed of the gearbox, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft is changed, thereby adjusting the transplanting spacing of sweet potato seedlings.

As the frame 101 moves forward in the field, the controller engages the electromagnetic clutch 303, causing one of the rear axles 211 to rotate the seedling-collecting drive shaft 301 via the chain drive mechanism 5. The seedling-collecting drive shaft 301 then drives the rotating shaft 305 to rotate via the gearbox and the electromagnetic clutch 303. The power of the rotating shaft 305 is transmitted sequentially through the bevel gear pair, the seedling-feeding drive shaft 401, and the chain drive mechanism 1 to the grooved wheel shaft 402. This causes the grooved wheel shaft 402 to intermittently rotate the dial wheel shaft 403 via the grooved wheel mechanism. 3. The winding shaft 408 is driven to rotate synchronously and intermittently via the chain drive mechanism 2, the winding drive shaft 1 405, the cylindrical gear pair, the winding drive shaft 2 406, and the one-way rotating buffer 409. The winding shaft 408 drives the corresponding seedling sleeve 501 to intermittently wind the seedling belt, and the deflector shaft 403 intermittently actuates the seedling belt through the deflector 404, thereby causing the unwinding shaft 409 to rotate synchronously and intermittently. The seedling belt is intermittently released, and as the frame 101 moves forward, each sweet potato seedling on the seedling belt is transported to the seedling picking position one by one; in addition, the rotating shaft 305 drives the driving gear 309 to rotate. The driving gear 309 meshes with the intermediate gear 309 and the driven gear 311. The intermediate gear 309 meshes with the driven gear 310, causing the driven gear 310 and the driven gear 311 to rotate synchronously but in opposite directions. The driven gear 310 drives the connecting rod 314 to rotate through the connecting plate 313. The driven gear 311 drives the pin 1 to move along the arc-shaped groove until the pin 1 moves to the end of the arc-shaped groove. The driven gear 311 then pushes the pin 1 through the arc-shaped groove. When connecting rod 2 315 rotates, connecting rod 1 314 and connecting rod 2 315 together drive connecting rod 3 316 to rotate. Connecting rod 3 316 drives the ends of each seedling clamping plate 322 to move in a hook-shaped trajectory through each seedling clamping connector 320 and each seedling clamping rod 321. (The hook-shaped trajectory is a closed curve composed of three arc segments, which are the seedling holding stage, the return stage, and the seedling picking stage, respectively. The openings of the two arc segments corresponding to the seedling holding stage and the return stage are facing upwards, and the intersection of these two arc segments is the tip of the hook-shaped trajectory.)When connecting rod 316 rotates, the relative angle between connecting rod 2 315 and connecting rod 316 changes, causing cam plate 318 to rotate relative to connecting rod 316. This causes the bent rod to move along the cam groove and drive lever 317 to oscillate back and forth. When the bent rod moves along the return section of the cam groove, lever 317 drives two rollers 319 to move along the outer walls of the two seedling clamping connectors 320 away from the seedling clamping rod 321. The restoring force of each torsion spring 1 causes the two seedling clamping connectors 320 to move closer to the seedling clamping rod 321. One end of the first link moves towards the other, which in turn drives the two clamping rods 321 to move the two clamping plates 322 towards the other. At this time, the connecting rod 316 drives the lever 317, each clamping connector 320, each clamping rod 321 and each clamping plate 322 to move towards the seedling picking position. When the bending rod begins to move along the near rest section of the cam groove, the two clamping plates 322 move to the seedling picking position and close, clamping the sweet potato seedling stem located at the seedling picking position. With the rotation of the connecting rod 1 314 and the connecting rod 2 315, the two clamping plates 322 move towards the seedling picking position. The sweet potato seedling is removed from the seedling strip and moved towards the planting position, causing the stem of the seedling to insert into the soil in a boat-bottom shape. When the two seedling clamping plates 322 move to the planting position, the bending rod begins to move along the push section of the cam groove. The lever 317 drives the two rollers 319 to move along the outer wall of the two seedling clamping connectors 320 towards the seedling clamping rod 321, causing the ends of the two seedling clamping connectors 320 near the seedling clamping rod 321 to move in opposite directions. This, in turn, causes the two seedling clamping plates 322 to move in opposite directions via the two seedling clamping rods 321. The back movement causes the two seedling clamping plates 322 to separate, releasing the grip on the sweet potato seedling. As connecting rods 314 and 315 rotate, the two clamping plates 322 leave the soil. When the bending rod begins to move along the far resting section of the cam groove, the two clamping plates 322 remain separated until the bending rod begins to enter the return section of the cam groove, thus completing the transplanting of the sweet potato seedling. As the frame advances, the seedling feeding mechanism intermittently transports each sweet potato seedling to the seedling picking position, where the seedling picking and transplanting mechanism completes the clamping and transplanting of each seedling.

[0042] Before transplanting, the electric motor is not in operation. The controller controls the extension or retraction of each electric cylinder 203. Each electric cylinder 203 drives the frame 101 to rise or fall via corresponding connecting rod 1 204 and corresponding connecting rod 2 205. Adjusting the height of the frame 101 allows for adjustment of the transplanting depth. Furthermore, adjusting the output shaft speed of the gearbox 302 changes the speed of the rotating shaft 305, thereby adjusting the transplanting spacing of the sweet potato seedlings. When the frame 101 needs to turn, the controller controls the electromagnetic clutch 1 303 to disengage and control the position of the clutch on the left or right side of the frame 101. When the electromagnetic clutch 209 on the side disengages, the drive shaft 207 and driven shaft 208 in the movable chassis located on the left or right side of the frame 101 are disconnected, and the rear wheels 215 located on the left or right side of the frame 101 stop rotating, thus causing a differential speed situation between the two rear wheels 215. At the same time, the operator uses two control levers 105 to rotate the frame 101 to the left or right, thereby achieving differential steering of the frame 101 until the frame steering is completed. The controller controls the electromagnetic clutch 303 to engage and controls the electromagnetic clutch 209 located on the left or right side of the frame 101 to engage. In addition, during the rotation of the take-up shaft 408, the damping effect generated by the one-way rotation buffer 407 between the take-up drive shaft 406 and the take-up shaft 408 can effectively prevent the take-up shaft 408 from rotating in the opposite direction and keep the end of the seedling belt 416 close to the take-up shaft 408 taut. During the rotation of the ratchet 410 driven by the unwind shaft 409, when one of the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 410 contacts the pawl 411, the ratchet tooth pushes the pawl 411 to move outward. When the ratchet tooth disengages from the pawl 411, the restoring force of the torsion spring 2 causes the pawl 411 to embed into a groove adjacent to the ratchet tooth, thereby effectively preventing the unwind shaft 409 from rotating in the opposite direction and keeping the end of the seedling belt 416 close to the unwind shaft 409 taut.
