Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seed tray transportation technology, and in particular to a seed tray flow technology method for an integrated seeding and logistics seedbed system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in factory-style seedling cultivation, the sowing locations are fixed and far from seedling sheds. Manual handling and placement of seedling trays is labor-intensive and costly, reducing the economic benefits of the vegetable industry. Placing the trays on the seedbed requires frequent bending, leading to fatigue, reduced efficiency, and a heavy workload for workers. Furthermore, there is a lack of automated equipment connecting the three processes of seedling sowing, tray placement, and seedbed transportation. Existing tray transport and placement machinery cannot automatically pick up trays, requiring manual assistance in handling and stacking, which consumes a significant amount of labor, resulting in low efficiency and increased seedling costs. Therefore, to meet the current needs of seedling cultivation in my country, automating the flow of trays within an integrated sowing and seedbed logistics system would facilitate the transformation and upgrading of the seedling industry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: To integrate the three major modules of plug seedling cultivation—sowing, handling and placement, and seedbed transportation—into one, eliminating intermediate handling steps, simplifying the existing plug seedling cultivation process, improving seedling cultivation efficiency, saving seedling cultivation costs, increasing economic benefits, and enhancing the technical level of the plug seedling cultivation industry.

[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a tray flow technology method for an integrated seeding and logistics seedbed system, comprising three major modules: tray sowing, tray placement, and seedbed transportation; the tray sowing module: the tray is placed at the tray conveying station, and then three processes are performed: pre-sowing soil covering, pressing the tray for sowing, and post-sowing soil covering. After completing the above processes, the tray enters the tray pushing buffer station.

[0005] Furthermore, the seedling tray placement module: the seedling tray enters the pusher buffer station, the seedling tray after sowing is transported to the transition conveyor belt, the direction of seedling tray transport is changed, and the horizontal pusher station pushes the seedling tray to the seedling tray alignment station. When six seedling trays are pushed, the linear module drives the pusher plate to push the seedling tray to the seedling tray placement station, and the pusher electric pusher rod pushes the seedling tray out and places it until the seedbed is full.

[0006] Furthermore, the seedbed transport module: after the seedbed is filled with seedling trays, the seedbed is transported to the seedbed rotating station, and after being rotated 90°, it is transported to the seedbed transfer station, where the fully loaded seedbed is transferred to the seedbed arrangement group.

[0011] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

[0012] like Figure 1 The seedling bed integration system shown mainly includes three modules: seedling tray sowing, seedling tray placement, and seedling bed transportation.

[0013] like Figure 2 As shown, the seed tray sowing module: First, place the seed tray 12 into the seed tray conveying position 1, and then go through three processes: pre-sowing soil covering 2, pressing the seed tray into the seed tray 3, and post-sowing soil covering 4. After completing the above processes, the seed tray enters the push tray buffer position 5.

[0014] The push plate buffer 5 station pushes the acupoint plate 12 into the previous position of the transition push plate 6 station.

[0015] The main operations of the three processes of pre-sowing soil covering 2, pressing hole sowing 3, and post-sowing soil covering 4 are as follows: When the empty seed tray 12 is placed into the seeder, it is first covered with bottom soil. As the seed tray 12 is conveyed, the substrate soil on the upper surface of the seed tray 12 is leveled by scraping and sweeping. After pressing hole sowing 3, another layer of substrate soil is covered to bury the seeds, ensuring the seed covering depth required by agronomic principles.

[0016] Seedling tray placement module: After seedling tray 12 completes the covering and sowing, the seedling tray enters the pusher buffer 5 station. The seedling tray 12 needs a transfer process to be transported to the seedling tray alignment 7 station after sowing, changing the transport direction of the seedling tray 12. The horizontal pusher seedling tray 6 station receives the seedling tray 12 transported from the storage conveyor belt at the end of the pusher buffer 5 station. While receiving the seedling tray 12, the horizontal pusher seedling tray 6 station adjusts the position of the seedling tray 12 to align with the seedling tray alignment 7 station, and pushes the seedling tray 12 to the seedling tray conveyor belt below the seedling tray alignment 7 station. When six seedling trays 12 are pushed, the linear module drives the pusher plate to push the seedling tray 12 to the seedling tray placement 8 station, and the pusher electric pusher rod pushes the seedling tray 12 out for placement. At the same time, the seedling bed 13 moves forward to cooperate with the placement of the seedling tray 12 until the seedling bed 13 is full of seedling trays 12.

[0017] The 7th station for locating the locating tray mainly completes two processes: temporary alignment of the locating tray 12 and placement of the locating tray 12.

[0018] Seedbed transport module: After the seedbed 9 is fully loaded with seedling trays and the seedling trays 12 are filled, the seedbed 9 is transported to the seedbed rotation station 10. After rotating 90°, it is transported to the seedbed transfer station 11, where the seedbed is transferred to the seedbed arrangement group.

[0019] The acupuncture tray 12 moves via conveyor belt from the acupuncture tray conveying station 1 to the acupuncture tray alignment station 7. The acupuncture tray 12 is pushed to the acupuncture tray alignment station 7 and also moves via a pusher plate. The acupuncture tray 12 is pushed to the acupuncture tray placement station 8 and moves via a pusher plate at the acupuncture tray alignment station 7.

[0020] The conveying device below the following steps is a storage conveyor belt: tray conveying 1, pre-sowing soil covering 2, pressing holes for sowing 3, post-sowing soil covering 4, and tray pushing buffer 5. The conveying device below the horizontal tray pushing station 6 is a transition conveyor belt. The conveying device below the tray alignment station 7 is a tray conveyor belt.

[0021] The 8-station tray placement mechanism uses a parallelogram mechanism to lower six trays 12 horizontally. Then, the electric push rod is extended and retracted to tilt the trays 12 toward the seedbed 13. The electric push rod pushes the trays 12 out for placement. At the same time, the whole machine moves forward to coordinate with the placement of the trays 12 and moves to the next station.

[0022] 9 seedling trays fully loaded Figure 3 As shown, the seedbed 13 has 36 seedling trays 12, and the seedbed 13 is transported by the track-type chassis 14 below.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the seedling tray 12 is a seedling tray made of 72-cell soft PVC material; the approximate dimensions of the seedling tray 12 are 540mm in length, 280mm in width, and 40mm in height; the seedling holes are conical, and the outer wall of the seedling holes is inclined at an angle of 75°.

[0024] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the concept and implementation of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Under the concept of the present invention, technical solutions without substantial changes are still within the scope of protection.
